Ji Feiming cut his hair, shaved his beard, and even took off his eye patch. He put on gold-rimmed glasses, dressed like an old-fashioned gentleman, and drove his new Cadillac to work on the shopping street.
He was born with the ability to see ghosts and ghosts, and has had a high status in the clan since birth.
He was chosen as a messenger of God at the age of sixteen and lived in the sacred mountain. His life before the age of thirty was completely out of touch with that of ordinary people.
Later, after working in the 955 special department for a few years, I learned some common sense and rules of life for modern white-collar workers.
The owner said he was an employee of a blind box store, so Ji Feiming studied blind box-related knowledge online overnight.
After studying for a whole night, he felt that he had enough understanding of blind box products and the blind box market.
No matter what position the store owner puts him in, he can do it perfectly.
Ji Feiming parked his car in an abandoned parking lot at the corner of the shopping street, walked to the blind box shop, adjusted his tie and suit cuffs as usual, and raised his hand to knock lightly on the door.
Lu Yao came out to open the door and saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing outside. He was slightly stunned and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Ji Feiming took a step back and introduced himself with a serious look: "Shop owner, it's me. Ji Feiming."
"…" Lu Yao took a step to the side, making room for the door, "Come in first."
Lu Yao had asked the system in advance, and some entities of the store were in her world.
In theory, people from this world can at least set foot in the physical space of the store.
On this commercial street, the snack bar that is the most dangerous for the living is not to be entered.
The rest of the shops can be entered with the permission of the shop owner.
Ji Feiming stood at the door, his expression paused slightly, then nodded and stepped into the blind box shop.
The store is very spacious and looks completely different from what it looks like from the outside.
There are seven or eight blind box machines placed in a row, and three or four glass shelves with large capacity.
Blind boxes of various colors were neatly arranged on the shelves, and their packaging and size were different from those he had seen on the Internet.
The time in the world of impermanence was around six in the evening. There were customers in the store, but not many. Occasionally, three or four people came in groups.
Luo Huian, Wei Xuan and Nie Yu were tidying up the shelves. They were a little surprised when they saw the owner leading a man in elegant clothes in.
Lu Yao didn't notice them. He took Ji Feiming around the store, walked to the door of the backstage area, and asked, "What can you see?"
Ji Feiming's hands began to sweat as soon as he entered the room.
This store was completely different from what he had imagined, filled with terrifying ominous forces.
What frightened him the most was that there were few people outside the shopping street, and he could not see many people all day long, but there were always customers visiting this store.
The customers in the store look ordinary, but upon closer inspection they are different from the modern world.
"Where exactly is this?" Ji Feiming couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yao expected that he would waver, and said as usual: "This is the blind box store. Answer me first, can you see what is inside this door?"
Ji Feiming shook his head: "It's a black space, and it's impossible to spy on it."
The special space cannot be detected or entered.
Lu Yao sighed: "It seems that you can only be a deliveryman. You can usually help guide customers in the store."
Ji Feiming: “…”
Lu Yao called over the three shop assistants from the Impermanence World and introduced them: "This is the new deliveryman in the store, his last name is Ji."
The shop assistants introduced themselves to each other. Luo Huian, Wei Xuan and Nie Yu were very interested in Ji Feiming.
His dress and temperament are so rare here.
But in Ji Feiming's eyes, these are three teenagers in their teens. Under normal circumstances, they should all be attending school instead of working in a blind box store.
He realized that things were more complicated than he had expected, and that there was some secret relationship between Lu Yao and the shopping street.
This shopping street is not an ordinary street, it connects to strange places, and the shop owner just looks like an ordinary person.
After the shop assistants got to know each other, Lu Yao briefly explained his daily work to Ji Feiming.
The most important thing is to transport goods. I am responsible for delivering the raw materials of the nail salon to the door of the snack bar next door every day.
The deputy manager of the snack bar will receive the materials and then place the packaged blind boxes outside the store.
Ji Feiming needs to send these blind boxes to the nail salon to be stamped, and finally to the blind box store, where three young clerks in the store are responsible for stocking the goods.
But he cannot enter the fictional space and can only patrol the store and guide customers to buy blind boxes.
At this moment, Ji Feiming deeply felt the huge gap between ideal and reality, but a little excitement also emerged in his heart.
As the old gods fell, strange things became increasingly difficult to observe.
His power continued to decline, and the world became simpler and more boring.
The person on duty at the snack bar this week was Bai Ming. Lu Yao introduced the two to each other in front of the store.
She had spoken to the store staff yesterday.
When Bai Ming saw him, he behaved politely but not approachably, and made a brief handover.
The nail salon is doing good business in the morning, with many customers who have made appointments getting their nails done.
Ji Feiming stood at the door, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.
If the customers of the blind box shop were still confusing, the clothing, appearance, words and deeds of the customers of the nail salon crushed the last bit of luck in the heart of the former messenger of God.
Lu Yao was talking to Ambrose. The necromancer's snow-white skeleton was covered with a gorgeous robe, and his nails were leopard-printed with wild charm. Red light flickered in his hollow eye sockets, making him look very vivid.
After a while, slimes, vampires, goblins, demons and dragons gathered around Lu Yao, surrounded her, and looked at Ji Feiming with scrutiny.
Harold's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and his tone was particularly disgusted: "Can he really protect Lu Yao? He is too weak, even worse than a slime."
Mumu was held in Edward's arms. She stretched out her little hands to grab Lu Yao's sleeves and protested excitedly: "Jiji!"
With magic manicure, I can also protect the owner.
Lu Yao touched Mumu and praised, "Mummu is the most powerful and the cutest slime!"
Mumu's eyes were moist and she rubbed Lu Yao's hand obediently: "Ji."
Pushu and Meilulu flew around Ji Feiming twice, then fell back on Lu Yao's shoulder with a frown.
Merulu crossed her arms and looked up at her: "Is this the only guard you can find in your world?"
Pu Xiu approached Lu Yao, raised his chubby face and gently rubbed her hair, his brows furrowed into an 8 shape, his eyes filled with worry: "This human doesn't seem to have any magical talent. Shopkeeper, do you really want to choose him?"
Clarissa conjured up a huge sickle in her hand and said coldly, "As a human, you are indeed too weak. Otherwise, how about changing to another race?"
Ambrose touched his chin, "That's a good suggestion."
Ji Feiming had never been despised like this before. He could see with his eyes that the strange creatures standing beside Lu Yao were not only weird in appearance, but also terrifyingly powerful, no less powerful than the monsters in the first snack bar.
Lu Yao had long been accustomed to the thinking of the alien shop assistants, and soothed them: "Everyone calm down. This Mr. Ji is a very powerful existence in my world, and is very suitable to be a shop assistant. You also understand that the strength of the human race does not lie in strength."
The foreign shop assistants were silent, and their expressions relaxed after a moment.
"Well, since the owner said so, let's just take a look." Clarissa slowly retracted the sickle.
Tina raised her leg and kicked Harold.
The little black dragon looked puzzled and turned around to fight back.
Tina's eyes were red, and she said with disdain: "You are too slow. If she had found the owner earlier, she wouldn't have needed to find another guard in that world."
Harold was suddenly discouraged and unable to refute.
Recently he has been trying to find Lu Yao every day, but the scent of the scales is weak and sometimes disappears, making it difficult to locate him accurately.
Lu Yao patted his shoulder and said, "This is not an easy thing. You have just awakened your power, so don't be too anxious."
Harold pulled out a handful of scales from his arms. Some were pure black, while others had silver stripes. He stuffed them all at once to Lu Yao, "Take more with you."
The stronger the dragon's aura, the easier it is for him to sense it.
Lu Yao put the scales away, turned around to greet Ji Feiming, and whispered, "You can't go upstairs. Harold and the others will put the blind boxes by the door every day. You can come and take them and send them to the next door."
Ji Feiming nodded woodenly. He had not yet recovered from the weakest blow in the entire street.
Lu Yao did not intervene too much.
The work content is actually very simple and it should only take a few days to adapt to it.
-
After a few days of adapting to the boring life of driving a Cadillac to the blind box store as a deliveryman, Ji Feiming suddenly ended the cold wave period in the world of impermanence.
According to past rules, after an event of impermanence ends, there will be a transition period of nearly ten days.
But this time it was different. After the cold wave ended, the sky was clear for only half a day, and then it started raining.
The sky was dark and it rained continuously all day and all night.
Luo Huian told Lu Yao that the next unpredictable event might be a flood due to too much rainfall.
There are two days left before the task of collecting 500 positive reviews ends, and there are still 98 positive reviews left.
The calculation mechanism of this task is completely controlled by the system. Lu Yao can only hear the task progress prompts. He doesn’t know under what circumstances the customers will give positive feedback to the blind box store.
Lu Yao thought about it and continued to sell new blind boxes to fill the shelves.
This time it is a blind box of daily necessities, a full set of thirty-six styles, thirty yuan per draw, and each person is limited to two.
People who braved the rain to come to the store to draw boxes soon discovered that this new blind box was not food, the redemption price was relatively low, but the design was particularly attractive.
Jiang Han heard from Chen Feng early in the morning that the blind box store had released new products, so he hurried out.
Jiang Shanrun called him, and Jiang Han turned around: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Jiang Shanrun pulled out a yellowed checkered umbrella from the cabinet, opened it and walked into the rain, looking back at him: "You guys always talk about that blind box store, I want to go and have a look too."
Jiang Han was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his grandfather would be so interested in the blind box store that he wanted to go there in person.
Jiang Shanrun is already very old, and his biggest wish for the second half of his life is to improve the soil that has been polluted by the impermanence of the world and to grow normal plants on this land again.
Originally he was in good health, but he fell seriously ill during this cold wave. Fortunately, he had the medicine from the blind box shop and he survived.
After recovering from the illness, my body was not as flexible as before, and my spirit was much more scattered. I could no longer go out alone to look for uncontaminated plants and soil.
This morning, he suddenly had an idea that the blind box store had everything.
He wondered if he could exchange it for uncontaminated soil, so he wanted to go and take a look.
Jiang Han had no idea what he was thinking, he just thought that his grandfather suddenly wanted to go to the store to experience drawing a box himself.
Grandpa has not been in good spirits since he fell ill this time.
Sometimes he would sit by the window, staring out at the garden, with emotions in his eyes that he could not understand.
It was rare that grandpa took the initiative to ask to go out, and even though it was raining outside, he couldn't bear to interrupt.
Jiang Han took the umbrella from Jiang Shanrun and helped him walk out: "Grandpa, this rain is so annoying. The road is slippery, let's walk slowly, don't rush."
