Chapter 77
The first place in the tasting competition was undoubtedly won by the teahouse.
"Ding dong - Congratulations to Mr. Shen for winning the appreciation competition. If the trigger conditions are met, the reputation system will be activated. Please pay attention to check the game interface~"
The next second after Manager Wang announced the ranking, the system immediately jumped out, unable to tell the difference. The electronic voice of Qing Men and Women read the above lines solemnly at first, but couldn't help it when it came to the end. After saying that sentence, she burst out in joy: "Hahahahaha, okay! I knew you would win!"
"So happy?" Shen Zening couldn't help but smile, "Is it because I turned on the reputation system? How much commission can you get?" The system
giggled: "Hehehe~a lot~"
appeared on the game panel A new icon, in the shape of a scroll, was flashing to remind Shen Zening.
After Shen Zening clicked on the reputation icon, a list appeared, listing the names of towns in the five continents of the world of cultivation, as well as various demon clans, sects, and even demon realms.
Take Shuowang City as an example. After he won the appreciation competition, he clicked all the way through the list of reputation system, Dongzhou, Yunjin Road, and then clicked on the column of Shuowang City. There was a "ding ding ding" prompt sound. , the reputation value of the first stage was filled instantly, and it was directly promoted to the third stage.
The icons belonging to the achievement system also lighted up.
It turns out that the reputation system and the achievement system are linked. Each time the reputation value of a stage is reached, a new achievement will also be achieved.
Shen Zening looked at the golden numbers of +10, +20, +100, +1000 that kept popping up in front of him. His eyes were dazzled. He wanted to receive the achievement reward, but he had to lower his head and raise his hand based on his memory. Wait for those numbers to jump over.
In addition to the prestige achievements of Shuowang City, there are also the achievements of participating in the Appreciation Conference and winning the championship. Countless experience points and points were poured down on her head. Shen Zening, who had just been promoted to level thirteen in the past two days, received those achievements. After the mission, I suddenly reached level 20.
I don't know how happy it was now, "ding ding ding" and "ding dong" intertwined, ringing non-stop, so loud that Shen Zening and Bai Yang's ears almost exploded.
There were more Arabic numerals floating in front of my eyes, and the little golden fox almost fainted. He quickly closed his eyes, covered his ears and got into Shen Zening's arms, "What is this? I won't look at it now. You call me again after they disappear."
The system was so happy that it almost set off fireworks to celebrate, but Shen Zening had to talk hard to stop it.
In a short time, the two of them were surrounded by the monks who were watching.
Feihong Street was packed to the brim, and there were noisy people all around, chirping and asking about the location of the teahouse. The monks are greedy for the delicious and novel food in the teahouse. Of course, it would be best if they can grab a spot for dishes with spiritual energy!
These people were so enthusiastic that Shen Zening was worried that Bai Yang would be squeezed, so she put her arms around his shoulders and brought him into his arms, even protecting his tail.
The young city lord Wen Xiu also made a special trip over. When she came, the crowd around them finally dispersed. Wen Xiu asked Shen Zening about the location of the teahouse and said she would go there another day. When she left, she secretly picked out a handful of hair from Bai Yang's tail.
Bai Yang: "!"
He had never had his tail touched by anyone other than Shen Zening. It felt a bit strange. Looking at the troubled expression on the little fox's face, Shen Zening couldn't help but think of the times when he was still in modern times. I went to a cat cafe, and there was a black and gray Maine Coon cat there. It was very handsome, but it was a shy cat. Every time it was touched by a customer, it would stay there for a long time. The expression on the cat's face was simply... Exactly the same as the little fox at this time.
As soon as Wen Xiu left, the group of monks surrounded him again. Shen Zening had to temporarily buy a large speaker from the mall, record the location of the tea house, and set up a loop to play, and then he was able to escape from Feihong Street.
"Hey, it has a big speaker, it's really out of character."
The system shook its head and said, looking at the blue and white plastic speaker with disgust.
Its level of facial control is comparable to that of Bai Yang. Shen Zening said helplessly: "There is no way, I can't get out without buying a speaker." At
this time, they were sitting on the flying boat returning to the teahouse, and the system was controlling the flying boat while throwing it. He was given a small manual, and Shen Zening took it and read it. On it were written several large characters like a dog crawling: Tips on using the power of dragon bloodline (introductory chapter).
"What is this? It can't be the Dragon Clan's technique, right?" Shen Zening was confused. He let go of the booklet and took a look at it, and was almost dissuaded by the messy words.
"Oh, haven't I already told you that dragons don't have cultivation techniques? It's different from humans. You guys are not the same species at all! Dragons don't need those fancy things to fight." Shen Zening endured it
. , opened it again and took a look, and quickly closed it again within three seconds, "Then this is..."
The system hummed: "What's your expression, you have the nerve to dislike it?! This is what I specially did for you all night long" Written by. Who told you to be too busy doing bad things during your second inheritance and not study hard, and use your spiritual power blindly, wasting it in vain." "
Although the Dragon Clan does not have such a thing as Kung Fu, you still need to know how to use your spiritual power. To the extreme."
Since it was something useful to him, of course Shen Zening had to take a good look at it. Bai Yang also came over to join in the fun, hanging on the man from behind and tapping his chin into his shoulder.
However, after a few glances, Bai Yang felt speechless and quickly changed his position. In order not to hurt his eyes, he simply lay down and rested on Shen Zening's lap.
On the way back, Shen Zening carefully studied the system's brochure. After reading the word "dog crawling" for so long, he actually got used to it.
This booklet is said to be about small skills, but it really teaches just small skills, such as how to use spiritual power to transform the paper crane used to convey messages in the world of cultivation from conveying words into a giant repeater that can produce voices - approximately equal to High-end version of the big speaker.
Shen Zening: "...System, you just added this, right?"
System: "...Uh."
The flying boat drove outside the teahouse and just stopped. When Shen Zening was about to get off, he suddenly found outside the teahouse. There was a long queue, and the crowds of people could wrap around the teahouse twice.
Ji Tingqiu, sweating profusely, squeezed out of the crowd and waved to Shen Zening: "Boss! You're back! Congratulations on getting the first place! There were so many people here before half a stick of incense. There are so many. !"
It would be better if he didn't rush to say hello. With such a shout, the monks lining up outside the teahouse immediately noticed Shen Zening standing outside the flying boat and swarmed up to him.
"Congratulations, boss, can I reserve a seat for tomorrow now?"
"Boss, boss, how long will the queue last?"
"Boss, will there be a new menu soon?"
Shen Zening: "..." It's really killing me.
Alessio's working hours were about to expire in the early morning. When celebrating his first place in the tasting competition, a farewell party was held for the Italian chef.
Afterwards, he slowly walked into the magic circle with a bag of specialties from the cultivation world given by everyone.
After Alessio returned to the game system, Shen Zening remembered to take a look at the card drawing interface. When I reached level 20, many functions were updated, including drawing cards.
Sure enough, there was an extra red dot on the card drawing interface. After clicking on the illustration interface, Shen Zening found that the photos of the NPCs he had drawn would appear in the illustration, and they were no longer ghosts before they were drawn.
There are five hearts underneath Alessio's photo, four of which are filled.
A red dot is displayed on an option next to the heart, and a question mark icon appears in the upper right corner of the interface. Clicking on it will provide an explanation and introduction to the new function.
It says above that if you want the limited-time NPC you drew to come back, you can choose to redeem it directly with points.
There are two redemption methods. One is to continue to redeem for a limited time, which requires spending 1,000 points in exchange for thirty days of working hours. The second is to directly redeem for a non-limited time. The specific working hours can be discussed with your own NPC, and the system will no longer interfere. , but it requires a lot of points, 3,000 points are required.
Before redeeming, players can communicate with the NPC first. It is best not to redeem working hours directly, as it can easily offend the NPC.
There is also a necessary condition. The hearts under the NPC name need to be filled with three or more hearts. This is the NPC's favorability towards the player. If there are less than three hearts, the NPC will be blacklisted and unable to engage in dialogue. and next hire.
Shen Zening immediately opened the dialog box with Alessio and asked him if he wanted to go back to the teahouse.
However, Alessio's answer was: "Oh, my old man, I think I just want to go on vacation first."
Shen Zening: "?"
Very good, this is very Italian.
In the next few days, the lobby was always full, and the second floor was also crowded every day. After all the custom-made sofa seats were taken back, there was not enough space to sit on them, which made Shen Zening make a lot of money.
After reaching level 20, the teahouse became a tavern. There was not much change in appearance, except that the counter was renovated by Shen Zening and turned into a small bar, and some high stools were purchased. .
After upgrading to a tavern, the level reward given by the system is a wine cellar. You do not need to spend spiritual stones to build it. You can just click to receive it and choose a place to place it.
The wine cellar was located underground, about fifty square meters in size. Shen Zening stared at the map for a long time before choosing a quiet location where no one was walking around.
The area of the wine cellar for the level reward is sufficient, but other facilities are relatively basic. It is an ancient simple version of the wine cellar without modern facilities. However, the wine cellar is the same as the cabin provided at the beginning of the system. It can be upgraded, but there is no level limit. You only need to spend some points.
Spend points to expand the area of the wine cellar, and then spend spiritual stones to exchange for modern facilities in the wine cellar.
Shen Zening did not give a complete set of luxurious decorations when he came in. He only improved the door of the wine cellar and took insulation measures. He also installed a very expensive air conditioner for wine cellars in the wine cellar, which cost a lot of money. Less points.
He did this not because he knew a lot about brewing, but... the system issued a side mission.
If you sell 10,000 copies of prepared wine and self-brewed wine, and if you sell no less than 5,000 copies of self-brewed wine, you will receive a mysterious reward.
This time, the side mission reward didn’t even have an icon in the task bar, nor was it the big box like before. Instead, it just turned into a question mark.
After Shen Zening confirmed with the system again and again that the reward for this side mission was definitely blood gain rather than blood loss, he decided to renovate the wine cellar.
There are many types of wine in the world of cultivation. Apart from foreign wine and fruit wine made from some fruits that are not available here, there is nothing that can be brewed.
Shen Zening had never made wine before, so he had to learn how to do it. He thought, it would be better to let the little fox draw the card again in two days.
Chapter 78
"Eh? Do you want to smoke now?"
Bai Yang tilted his head, his soft fox ears twitched twice, and looked at the magic circle in the living room.
Shen Zening pinched the tips of his ears and nodded.
After reaching level 20, a new permanent card pool is opened, and the points spent to draw cards are ten times more than the limited-time card pool. A single draw requires 1,000 points, drawing ten times requires 10,000 points, and ten consecutive draws are still the same. There will be a 10% discount, which is 9,000 points.
"This card pool is so expensive...the points have increased tenfold." Bai Yang looked at the array and then at his hands.
Well, she is fair and slender, with well-defined joints, quite beautiful, and quite clean, but just in case, I might as well wash my hands.
The little fox was about to go to the bathroom upstairs when he was stopped by Shen Zening. She hugged him and hugged him. "It's okay. Don't worry, you can smoke ten times." Shen Zening said, pulling up the little
fox. She took her hand and kissed his fingertips softly, "...the dragon clan's blessing has been given to you. You will definitely be able to draw out the SSR."
Even though he had heard it so many times, Bai Yang would still show up for Shen Zening from time to time. Feeling shy about love words. His heart was filled with heat, and he took out his hand with a red face, "Who, who asked you to kiss me! And I gave you my blessings, I have to kill you!"
Bai Yang said this, but did not go to the bathroom upstairs. Instead, he pinched the fingertips kissed by Shen Zening and clicked on the [Extract ten times] option.
...I am also very confident in Shen Zening.
Neither of them had ever been so wealthy before. Shilian smoked at will. Bai Yang was still a little nervous when he ordered it. After finishing the order, he closed his eyes, grabbed Shen Zening's sleeve, and asked repeatedly: " Did I draw it?"
"Ding--"
The familiar diamond-like light shone on the magic circle, and ten cards were suspended in the center of the magic circle with their backs to them.
It seems that it is the same as the mobile games that Shen Zening has played before that require card drawing, and it needs to be clicked again.
The little fox was finally ready to open his eyes and see what his luck was, but it turned out that the cards of the Tenth Company were not displayed automatically, which made him unable to get up and down in one breath, and he became nervous again.
That’s 9,000 points! Rounding it off, it’s ten thousand!
Bai Yang felt sorry for Shen Zening about the points and didn't dare to click on them.
Bai Yang didn't see the colored light just now, but Shen Zening saw it clearly. With the colored light, how could there be an SSR among these ten cards? His precious little fox is still as good as ever!
He directly took the little fox's hand and placed a few points on the ten cards.
"Shen Zening! Wait! What if..."
Bai Yang was startled and couldn't even take his hand back. The next moment, the backs of the ten cards were covered with dots of light, and these light spots surrounded The card turned them over one by one, and then, the center of the circle was filled with light, and two women in ancient costumes holding hands came out of it. One was wearing a goose-yellow dress, gentle and moving, and the other was wearing The skirt is hibiscus and elegant.
The two look exactly the same, except for the slight difference in makeup on their faces.
The one in hibiscus clothes is called He Lan, her elder sister, and the one in goose-yellow clothes is called He Ming, her younger sister.
The twin sisters are both chefs. The elder sister is good at cooking light and sweet Su-style dishes, and the younger sister is good at cooking spicy and fragrant Sichuan dishes.
Two chefs came at once, which greatly relieved the pressure in the kitchen.
Alessio is going on vacation, and he doesn’t know when he will be willing to come back to work. Rafael’s working time limit is only one day, and his favorability score is full of three stars. I just don’t know if he wants to stay in the teahouse. If this red-haired man The Frenchman was also going to take a vacation, so the only three people left in the kitchen who could cook were Shen Yi, Shen Er and Shen Zening.
"Oh, it's the little fox!"
He Ming said in surprise, her gentle appearance was instantly broken, and she pulled her sister past Shen Zening and skipped to Bai Yang.
The two sisters surrounded the confused Bai Yang in the middle.
He Ming: "I want to touch my tail!"
He Lan: "I want to touch my ears!"
After they finished speaking, the two turned their faces together, their eyes full of anticipation, and said in unison: "Is that okay?"
"..."
Bai Yang hugged the tail. , with a wary look on his face, he took two steps back.
Shen Zening: Damn it, why are there two stuffed animals here! ! !
"Um, two ladies, uh, two girls, you..." Shen Zening cleared her throat, and when she was about to say something to the twins, a blue tentacle suddenly stretched out from the light of the magic circle, He patted He Ming lightly on the shoulder, and then patted He Lan on the shoulder, pointing forward, as if to tell them not to block the road.
He Ming/He Lan: "?"
The sisters turned their heads in confusion, and then quickly stepped back several steps, and screams of disbelief resounded throughout the living room.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The blue tentacle paused for a moment, as if it was a little shy, it retracted, and then a third person walked out of the circle.
It's not quite right to call him a human being. This NPC's appearance is obviously beyond the scope of human beings. Not to mention the eight tentacles growing on his body, his skin is still as blue as sea water.
...Help, the eight tentacled aliens in the illustrated book were actually caught by the little fox!
Shen Zening looked at Bai Yang in shock, and the expression on Bai Yang's face was not much better. He had the double buffs of "confused" and "shocked", and his beautiful blue-gold eyes were wide open, and he said for a moment Speechless.
No, there really are NPCs with long tentacles...
After three full seconds, Shen Zening finally recovered from his surprise and quickly poked the system to buy a permanent translation plug-in.
His current translation plug-in is only for a limited time and cannot translate alien languages at all. When the language is blocked, communication difficulties will be troublesome.
I don’t know where the system went, and it has never been online.
After receiving a large commission, it has been in a state of "hehehe" giggles for several days. Now it is probably going on a shopping spree with the commission.
Shen Zening was anxious about translation. He couldn't find the system and there was no translation plug-in. He could only say "Hello" and gesture to the alien, praying that he would understand what he meant.
The alien NPC raised one tentacle and waved it, then took out a silver bracelet from his pocket and put it on the other tentacle, and operated the bracelet a few times.
Shen Zening: "?"
What is he doing? Is this a wave?
A harsh sound of electricity came from the silver bracelet. The alien seemed a little angry. He muttered something in alien language and slapped the bracelet hard with his tentacles.
Then, as if it had been repaired, the bracelet uttered a few stumbling syllables. After a few seconds, it finally synchronized with the alien's mouth and spoke a complete and standard Chinese sentence: "Hello, boss!" "
Shen Zening: "Uh, hello?"
...Shocked! That bracelet is actually a translator!
After saving nearly 10,000 points, Shen Zening looked at how cute this big blue octopus with its own translator looked.
Eight tentacles, how great, they can do the work of eight people at the same time!
The 9999 points you spent on the translator can be saved for the precious little fox to draw ten in a row again!
Facing the boss's suddenly very friendly expression, the alien NPC was stunned, and his tentacles were shyly bent into a question mark.
The name of the alien NPC was very long and difficult to pronounce. Even after he said it twice, Shen Zening didn't understand it and couldn't remember it at all. So after Shen Zening consulted his opinion, he gave him an easy-to-understand nickname: Xiaozhang.
Xiao Zhang also worked in a restaurant in his hometown, working as a dahe, mainly helping the chef.
After hearing this, Shen Zening patted Xiao Zhang on the shoulder, "Very good, our tavern needs talents like you."
Now the tavern happens to be short of a Dutchman. In fact, if Xiao Zhang hadn't grown up too far outside the realm of cultivation, To the extent of his understanding, Shen Zening actually wanted him to be a waiter.
There is a shortage of customers, and there is also a shortage of waiters! ! !
Shen Zening thought it was time to hire some waiters, and he would have to write a notice sometime, but that would have to be done later.
Three newcomers arrived, and Shen Zening and Bai Yang simply took them around the tavern and arranged their accommodation.
It's just that today's newcomers include two girls. Shen Zening looked at the construction interface and picked the largest room for them. Then he connected water and electricity and installed a bathroom module to create a room with a separate bathroom.
This also reminded Shen Zening that he had to renovate the staff dormitory building when he had time. Then he might as well get rid of the public toilets and bathrooms and replace them all with private bathrooms, so that it would be more convenient for girls to come over.
Shen Zening remembered that He Lan and He Ming were from ancient times, and asked specifically: "By the way, do you know how to use the shower and toilet?" The
two sisters nodded.
He Lan: "You have already used it."
He Ming: "We have all the rooms in the card pool."
After introducing various places in the tavern and dormitories, He Lan and He Ming sisters received daily necessities and other items I went to tidy the room and started working in about an hour. Xiao Zhang had eight tentacles and would move faster. He was told to give him ten minutes.
Shen Zening told them not to worry, just go to the kitchen when they're done.
Three NPCs were drawn out in the tenth round, and the remaining seven were props of good quality, such as a large commercial refrigerator that could be used in the kitchen, and a pound of Rainbow Cow beef. Of course, there are also those of average quality, such as a white tablecloth sold for 5 points each in the mall, a pack of dishwashing sponges, a pack of tissue paper and other scattered small items.
Shen Zening left the tissue paper he could use in the small building, and prepared to pick up the dishwashing sponges and the like in the kitchen.
Before going out, Bai Yang suddenly jumped up from the sofa and stopped him, "Let me go!"
Two fox tails swayed gently, Bai Yang said, and went to get the bag in Shen Zening's hand.
Shen Zening raised his eyebrows, let go and let the little fox take it, "You are so active, do you want to go to the kitchen to get ice cream? You have already eaten three of them before the afternoon. You are not allowed to eat any more, or you will get a stomachache. "
How is that possible? I'm not going to get the ice cream. Don't talk nonsense! I just want to move around!"
the little fox replied harshly, took the bag and ran away.
In the kitchen at this time.
A giant water balloon was suspended above the sink, filled with dishes, chopsticks, and even two or three pots.
Jinyu controlled the water flow and washed away the oil stains on it.
"It's really convenient to wash dishes like this." Bai Yang took out the sponges and other things from the bag and put them in the cupboard, then opened the refrigerator and took out a plate of small cream cakes, his big fluffy tail swaying gently. , handed the cake to Jinyu, and then took a puff for himself.
I also found a reason: there is ice cream in the puffs. Although they are all iced, they are completely different from ice cream.
Well, yes, that's it.
The cake handed to Jinyu was made by Shen Zening, specially for the little koi.
Jinyu has to deal with a lot of dishes and chopsticks every day, which consumes a lot of spiritual power and has no time to recover. He struggled to hold on when he started working on the first day, and later he fainted in the kitchen. Fortunately, Xiao Yang passed by and found out in time and told Shen Zening.
After that, Shen Zening would prepare some snacks or drinks for Jinyu every day that could replenish her spiritual energy. She would usually leave a note on the island or in the refrigerator for Jinyu to pick up. Sometimes Bai Yang would also stroll there. In the kitchen, take care of this little koi and help him get milk tea and cakes.
"Ah, thank you." Jinyu took it and thanked her in a low voice, took a bite of cake to replenish her spiritual power, and then dealt with the dishes.
More and more monks came to the tavern because of its reputation, and there would be a long queue at the door every day. After the appreciation meeting, it became completely famous.
Shen Zening prepared several benches and parasols at the door for the monks waiting for their seats to rest. There was also a long table outside with free tea and snacks.
After the counter was transformed into a bar, Xue Yun also moved from the counter to the door - mainly because there were too many people queuing up every day and someone had to watch.
Currently, the tavern is short of manpower and space, and the daily consumption of dishes and chopsticks is also very large. Shen Zening bought some new ones to barely have enough, and also installed a second large dishwasher in the kitchen.
Bai Yang chatted casually with Jin Yu for a few words, then stopped disturbing his work. He carefully wiped the cream from his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and went back to find Shen Zening.
After cleaning up a batch of grease stains on the dishes and chopsticks, she put them in the dishwasher and set them up. After starting the dishwashing process, Jinyu hurriedly took a bite of the small cake and then used her spiritual power to hold up the bowl that had just been delivered to the island. The chopsticks are then cleaned and ready to be put into the second dishwasher.
Xiao Yang was originally carrying a mop and planned to clean the kitchen, but when he arrived at the door of the kitchen, he hesitated, put down the mop, and held it in his hand politely before walking in.
The kitchen was kept very clean, and Xiao Yang had nothing else to do after mopping the floor for a while.
Xiao Yang scratched his head, took the mop to Jinyu's side, and mopped it twice more on the already clean floor. When he was about to find a topic to talk about, he suddenly found a little cream on the tip of Jinyu's nose, and said : "You haven't wiped off the cream on your face."
Jinyu was concentrating on handling the dishes and chopsticks, not paying attention to the people next to him. The sound frightened him so much that his shoulders shook, the technique was interrupted, the water polo suddenly broke, and the bowl The chopsticks clattered into the sink, breaking two plates.
Jinyu stared blankly at the messy sink, her eyes gradually turning red, tears gathering in them, and they were about to fall.
Xiao Yang: "...!!!"
The beauty wept, the good times should be rewarded... what the hell!
Xiao Yang felt regretful and hurriedly went to wipe his tears, "I'm sorry, little crybaby. I'll clean it up later. Don't cry."
Jinyu burst into tears when she heard the words "little crybaby" He fell down and cried even harder, "...You, you are the little crybaby!"
