9, Chapter 9

Wen Jin sent a message saying that the equipment in his store was almost ready. Early the next morning, Qiu Qiu rode a little goldfish and wandered over to take a look.

This shop is not on Tengluo Street, but it's not too far away, and it's just within the reach of his little goldfish.

It took about forty or fifty minutes to float over at full speed.

The days are going towards summer day by day, and the temperature is climbing very fast in the morning.

When Qiu Qiu arrived at the store, the sun was already so intense that it was hard to keep his eyes open.

Wen Jin's big motorcycle was parked not far away. Today she wore a camouflage suspender belt and a denim miniskirt, revealing her healthy, muscular shoulders, neck and thighs.

And half a chest.

She crossed her arms to supervise the work, stepped on a wooden bench, looked arrogant, and said loudly: "Be careful when doing everything, especially in terms of safety! Don't skip the inspection steps, I don't need to say more."

The workers entering and exiting the installation equipment didn't know whether it was hot or dry. They were all sweating profusely. There were a few young people who were too embarrassed to take off their clothes. Their T-shirts stuck to their bodies as if they had been washed.

Qiu Qiu looked at the state of these people and seemed to understand a little bit of their feelings... They must also think that Sister Jinjin is very fragrant.

"Sister Jinjin." He parked the little goldfish next to the big motorcycle and trotted over.

Wen Jin turned his head and smiled: "Qiu Qiu, here you go. It'll be fine in a while. Let's wait here for a while. Is it hot?"

As she spoke, she walked towards the wall and tried to dig out a bottle of ice water from the stacked boxes, but found nothing.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the window above his head, holding a bottle of bottled water with a foggy surface, and knocked on Wen Jin's lowered head.

"What are you doing!" Wen Jin covered the back of his head, jumped up fiercely, and grabbed the bottle of water.

The man smiled honestly and looked to one side: "Hey, the kid is here?"

This man has a strong build and a simple and honest appearance. He looks like a good-tempered good old man to anyone who looks at him.

He helped the workers move the boxes of things out, wiped his sweat, and then followed Wen Jin to Qiu Qiu and introduced himself as San0, Zhong Yu's colleague and a record-keeper.

He also brought Qiu Qiu a meeting gift, a jar of very retro-looking liquor, which he placed in the shade of the house.

"Brother Sanling." Qiu Qiu called out obediently.

"Call me uncle," Sanling chuckled, "My son is already as old as you."

Wen Jin was shocked: "Holy crap? Are you taking advantage of the captain?"

San0: "Haha, you can do it if you want."

Wen Jin was immediately conflicted. In the end, the burden of being an idol overcame her desire to win over the captain verbally, and she decided to uphold her original verdict and become "Sister Jin Jin" forever.

Qiu Qiu drank the ice water, narrowed her eyes in contentment, and said thank you to Sister Jinjin and Uncle Sanling.

"Haha, I really didn't expect it," Sanling exclaimed plainly: "A person like the captain, who has done nothing, could actually get such a well-behaved younger brother (erzi) for nothing. It's really..."

Wen Jin: "Happy for him?"

30: "The way of heaven is unfair."

Wen Jin: “…………”

"Okay," Sanling smiled honestly: "I just checked the system, and everything is fine. I'll go back to work first, and you guys can play, haha."

Uncle Sanling left with a chuckle, and the workers finished their work and began the final cleaning.

Qiu Qiu walked around his new store, eager to try it.

This store is a small independent building with two floors.

It is said that the store originally sold fresh food, and most customers placed orders online, and they delivered the goods from here.

The decoration is therefore very simple, more like a large empty warehouse than a "store". There is a simple counter across the inside of the first floor. Since there is no separate kitchen area, the kitchen utensils purchased by Wen Jin are temporarily installed behind the counter.

The two went up to the second floor.

This place was previously filled with freezers, but now they have all been removed, leaving an ugly wet mark on the wall.

Other than that it's empty.

Qiu Qiu walked to the window and pushed it gently. The sunlight outside filtered in through the fine green shade, and the air smelled very good.

"There are two trees here." He leaned on the window frame and looked out, and a pair of gray birds fluttered past his eyes.

"The environment is not bad," Wen Jin also said: "Although our Weiyan District is said to be rural everywhere, in fact it is quite comfortable to live there."

Qiu Qiu nodded in agreement.

"When the captain first came to Weiyan District, several design institutes bid to participate in the construction, and there were also artists who wanted to come here to showcase their talents...the captain rejected them all."

Wen Jin said and rolled his eyes: "He said at the time, 'What kind of plan are you planning? It would be great if the trees can live long in this poor place, but why do you have to prune them? It's better to buy two more bags of seeds with this money.'...

Then the design institute and the artists were pissed off."

Qiu Qiu unconsciously bent his eyes.

"The two main problems at the time were that there had just been a disaster and there was no money in the district, and the other was that he didn't like to take care of things. As long as he didn't violate the regulations by cutting down trees and selling them for money, he would let everything go. Plants could grow as they pleased.

It affects the lives of residents, and everyone prunes and transplants it casually. As time goes by, it becomes like this...it looks quite interesting after a long time, right?"

Wen Jin said, showing some recollection.

Qiu Qiu looked at the two big trees in trance and remembered them secretly.

"Sister Jin!" A worker downstairs shouted: "It's all ready! Come and turn it on and take a look!"

"Here we come!" Wen Jin put his arms around Qiu Qiu's shoulders: "Let's go see the magical eden."

In a short time, the workers had cleared away all the garbage, leaving a young man with glasses standing on the side of the counter, looking at the light screen.

"Sister Jin, landmark test number 25767, please try it."

Wen Jin took an earphone-shaped login device from his hand, sat behind the counter, paired it with the bracelet, and closed his eyes.

After a moment, a glowing blue shadow appeared at the door of the store.

The ghost is translucent.

Saying "half" is not accurate. It has about 70% transparency, so you can see the appearance clearly.

Wen Jin's avatar is almost exactly the same as herself, which shows her degree of self-satisfaction. She put on a pair of hot pants, walked in from the door with her head held high, and patrolled around the house like she was giving directions.

"If there's no problem, just sign and we'll leave first. You can complete the specific settings of the store yourself. Take your time, it's very simple." Little Glasses said with a red face.

Wen Jin waved his pen and said: "Go, you have worked hard these two days."

Qiu Qiu couldn't help but stare at the blue glowing sister Jinjin. She almost forgot about the ice water she wanted to bring and handed the box into the air: "Thank you for your hard work."

The little glasses chased his hand to take them, thanking him repeatedly.

When everyone was gone, Qiu Qiu couldn't help but touch Wen Jin's shadow.

He stretched out his hand and passed through her body easily, making Wen Jin laugh.

"I'll teach you how to play this later. Let's set up the store first." Wen Jin said, the blue light flashed, the virtual figure disappeared, and she opened her eyes.

There is an "eden" logo on the small light screen next to the counter, which is the store's control center.

Wen Jin brought up the menu and pointed out the options to Qiu Qiu: "Store name, think of a store name first..."

Before she finished speaking, her left wrist bracelet suddenly made a beeping sound.

Wen Jin stopped speaking, his face darkened, and he turned around to answer the call: "What's wrong?...Murder?"

I don't know what was said over there. She hummed twice, said she would be there soon, clapped her bracelet and hung up.

"Something happened in the West District." Wen Jin frowned: "I'm going to take care of it, you can play by yourself."

After Wen Jin finished speaking, without waiting for Qiu Qiu's reply, Fengfenghuohuo got on the big motorcycle and suddenly disappeared on the street. Qiu Qiu trotted out, only to see a cloud of smoke and dust.

Qiu Qiu gave a small wave to the empty road, said goodbye, and then turned back to the store.

The temperature control system has started to work and the room is no longer so hot.

Qiu Qiu sat behind the light screen and began to study the settings by himself.

The first item is to fill in a store name.

Qiu Qiu thought for a while and slowly filled in a name - Devil's Restaurant.

After filling it out, Qiu Qiu felt excited.

This is the place where the protagonist Qin Aotian often goes in the story book. There are countless delicacies in the restaurant, all of which are the kind that just hearing the name will make him starve to a puddle and be unable to condense for several days!

Now he also has a devil's restaurant!

Qiu Qiu was so excited that he continued to the next item, the size of the store to accommodate the number of people...

There are some objective data at the back. Qiu Qiu checked the information and quickly filled it in until the last blank.

Please fill in a signature dish of the store.

Qiu Qiu was stunned in this space for a long time.

The signature dishes of his shop must be what he thinks are the most delicious.

He has eaten a lot of things these days, but the most delicious thing he will never forget...

Qiu Qiu pursed his lips and filled in the words "scrambled eggs" in the blank.

Finish.

Click Open.

A stream of light flashed past the room, like lines reflected by water waves. But when I looked up again, it had disappeared.

Qiu Qiu walked outside the house and was surprised to see a blue circle of light on the ground at the door, with an "eden" sign inside that was exactly the same as the light screen in the store.

Is this what landmark means?

Where did the light come from?

The sun is so bright outside that I can see very clearly.

Qiu Qiu circled the landmark several times, and the pedestrians who occasionally passed by on the road also showed expressions of surprise.

Not long after, news spread on this not-so-busy street—a store with an Eden landmark opened here!

What a huge lineup!

Diagonally across the road from Qiu Qiu's Devil's Restaurant, there is a simple little shop.

The shop owner was an old woman. She heard the news quickly, thought about it, picked a basket of eggs from home, and went to visit the store opposite.

Her family is not rich, and she knows that the things in her hands are shabby, but shabby is nothing more than empty hands.

The eden store requires a large investment. This store is definitely not the same as theirs. Grandma originally just wanted to go and see the situation. If she was looked down upon, she would just come back.

Unexpectedly, the young shopkeeper looked quite pleasant. When he saw the shabby gift she brought, although his expression was cold, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable fondness.

"Thank you, grandma." Qiu Qiu hugged the basket tightly.

Egg, this is an egg!

Just now he was thinking about where to find something to eat while sitting on the little goldfish, but he didn't expect that the humans nearby were also so nice!

As soon as he saw the eggs, the taste of the whole egg feast that day immediately came over him. Qiu Qiu opened his mouth slightly and swallowed hard.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Just like after he ate the boss lady's steamed buns, he always wanted to compare with the steamed buns when eating anything else. Now he couldn't forget his guardian's scrambled eggs.

How about making one yourself? His shop is open.

Qiu Qiu thought about it, sent her grandma away, and then moved behind the counter, facing a group of newly installed kitchen utensils, recalling the steps of her guardian when cooking.

The guardian smelled very good, and I could remember the feeling of human muscles exerting force very clearly when I was wrapped around him.

...it can definitely be done as it is.

The light screen on the counter was still on, and the number in the upper right corner of the control center suddenly jumped, and a "3" popped up.

Qiu Qiu didn't know that this meant that there were three people online in the store.

In the Eden community, avatars can also choose to log in "anonymously", that is, as long as you don't speak, others cannot see you in the store.

At this time, there were three invisible and silent customers sitting in the store.

The three of them may be bored or may have taken the wrong path, but no one popped up a text bubble to show their presence.

They watched Qiu Qiu beating eggs, heating the pan, pouring oil, and adding egg liquid...until Qiu Qiu brought out a plate of strange objects.

A strange, hard texture, a bit burnt, maybe a scrambled egg object.

Is this really a food section? A customer thought blankly.

Then he watched the cute little shopkeeper stare at the plate melancholy for a while, then picked up the spoon and ate the object one bite at a time.

【…………】The guest couldn’t help but make a string of text bubbles.

This is the fucking curiosity zone!

Qiu Qiu was eating happily when a glowing bubble suddenly appeared in front of him, scaring him so much that he burped.

"Hiccup!" His eyes widened, staring at the bubble containing the ellipsis, but his hands did not stop, and he was still pulling the things on the plate into his mouth at a steady speed.

【Are you eating garbage?】The customer asked.

Qiu Qiu realized that he was talking to him, and realized that this might be a virtual guest. But the content of what this person said...

"It's delicious. Burp." Qiu Qiu raised his spoon seriously towards the text bubble: "Although it tastes a little different from my favorite, it's still delicious."

After he finished speaking, the word bubble disappeared and the store became empty.

Qiu Qiu ignored this person and ate up a plate of what looked like scrambled eggs. He continued to heat the pan, pour oil, burp, and do it again...

After half the basket of eggs was ruined, and as soon as he reached for the next innocent egg, an unignorable quarrel suddenly came from outside the door.

Qiu Qiu listened and started his sixteenth attempt without any distractions.



"Fuck! You don't have eyes! What kind of terminal are you looking at while walking!? There is a photo of your mother's death in the terminal!?"

Outside the store, a man in a suit roared angrily.

The man in the suit worked overtime all night last night and stayed up until noon. Now he can finally go home. He is very tired.

I was walking on the road as if I was sleepwalking when I was accidentally bumped into by a man in a slovenly sweatshirt who was looking down at the terminal. He hit his head on a tree trunk with a clang.

Severe pain.

The man in the suit exploded on the spot.

He had been having a lot of troubles lately, working overtime frequently, and the accumulated fatigue mixed with anger suddenly erupted, making him feel like a gas tank that had been shaken for eight hundred times.

He wants to! Immediately! Immediately! scold the blind person in front of him to the center of the earth!

"Ah!?" The slovenly man in a sweatshirt opposite made a rough voice.

He is two meters tall, has tattoos on his arms, wears flip-flops, and has three white eyes as wide as bells.

"…………"

The man in the suit took a deep breath.

"It's okay, it's just that I don't have eyesight. I'm sorry, brother."

The two-meter-long undershirt walked away in a swagger.

The man in the suit felt depressed, feeling as useless as a dog, and felt sad for a moment.

He lowered his head and walked forward in a daze, accidentally stepping on a blue circle of light.

eden landmark?

Since when has there been such a fashionable store here?

The man in a suit looked sideways and saw that the store door was half open, and there was a faint smell of oil smoke inside, so he concluded that it was probably a restaurant.

If you can afford to buy Eden landmark equipment, you should be an ambitious small shop. Generally, the quality of such a shop is not too bad.

As a news channel editor and director, the man in the suit thinks this is common sense.

The man in the suit was hungry and thirsty. He hesitated for two seconds and walked into the store expressionlessly with residual anger.

As soon as I stepped into the store, my eyes were filled with paleness.

The man in the suit was stunned, could it be retro post-modern industrial style?

But now is not the time to discuss style. He sat down at the only seat in front of the bar and said tiredly: "Have a glass of water."

The suspected clerk behind the counter seemed not to hear.

"...Here's a glass of water." The man in the suit thought he hadn't heard and raised his voice angrily.

"Hiccup." Qiu Qiu puffed out his cheeks, let out a small burp, and ate the last bite of the sixteenth plate of scrambled eggs: "Here we go."

The guest asked for a glass of water, and Qiu Qiu heard it.

However, the button that releases water at the guardian's house has not yet been installed. All the ice water in the morning was given to the workers. There is still water here... Qiu Qiu remembered, picked up a pot from under the counter, and poured

I got a glass of water and put it on the counter.

"Here." He said shyly.

The man in the suit angrily went to get the cup, but was burned. He jumped up on the spot, waved his hands and roared: "Do you want me to die!?"

"..." Qiu Qiu opened his eyes wide and chewed, thinking that there was no other water.

Is this person thirsty?

A small lightbulb suddenly lit up on his head, and he pulled out a jar of liquid that Uncle Sanling had brought him from his feet.

Pour a glass.

"Here." Qiu Qiu pushed the cup in front of the man in the suit and said expressionlessly: "Water."

"..." The man in the suit was shocked.

The clerk in front of me is not tall and looks young. He is wearing a cartoon T-shirt with red balls painted on it. At first glance, he looks cute.

But if you look closely, you will find it a bit scary.

Mainly that delicate and cold face, full of menace.

Yes, this glass of wine is a silent threat.

This is very unbearable for an adult man with a successful career.

The man in the suit's hair almost stood up with anger, and he was about to curse when the young man in front of him spoke again.

"Drink some water and go home early to rest." Qiu Qiu said.

"Ah?" The man in the suit was confused.

"You have a bit of a bad smell, maybe you can go to the hospital for a checkup."

Qiu Qiu said, seeing the suspicious look on the man's face in the suit, he emphasized expressionlessly: "Believe me, the last person I said that to..."
