Looking at Yao Ziyan with a smile on his face, Luo Chuan felt as if he had inadvertently helped her ease her worries.
Since he had some free time, Luo Chuan thought for a moment and made a decision.
He went upstairs and returned holding a small whiteboard in his hand.
"What are you up to, boss?" Yao Ziyan asked curiously.
"I'm going to write down the store rules so we don't have to repeat them every time a new customer comes in," Luo Chuan replied.
"Sounds sensible," Yao Ziyan nodded, reaching for the whiteboard from Luo Chuan's hands. "Let me do it, boss!"
Luo Chuan didn't object and handed it over to Yao Ziyan.
After considering for a moment, Luo Chuan said, "Just write down three rules."
"The items in the store can only be purchased once per person per day."
"No disturbances are allowed in the store, and troublemakers are responsible for their own actions."
"There are no discounts on items in the store."
"Done, boss!" Yao Ziyan stopped writing and presented the whiteboard to Luo Chuan, three neat lines of black text written on it.
"Hang it up," Luo Chuan nodded.
As time passed day by day, life in the shop remained calm despite the changes in Jiuyao City.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
During this time, besides the two regular visitors, Zhou Hu and Wei Qingzhu, Bu Shiyi had also become a frequent guest at the shop, all thanks to the effects of the instant noodles.
The tenfold training speed boost from the instant noodles, lasting just an hour, could match the results of a day's hard work under normal circumstances!
And today, Luo Chuan finally completed the task released by the system!
"The Strongest Shop Owner System.
Host: Luo Chuan.
Status: One-star shop owner.
Rank: Second-order.
Current Share Ratio: 10%.
Task Completion Progress: Cola 100/100, Spicy Bar 100/100.
Reward: A chance to draw."
Second-order already, achieved within just one week. Luo Chuan's rapid advancement from first to second-order would undoubtedly cause quite a stir among cultivators on the Tianlan Continent.
But Luo Chuan paid little heed to it. After all, what did second-order matter?
No basic exercises, no deal.
"System, let's start the lottery," Luo Chuan instructed mentally.
In a flash, Luo Chuan found himself back in the lottery space. However, this time, the system actually spoke up.
"Since the host has reached the fourth lottery, please choose the developmental direction for Origin Mall."
"Developmental direction?" Luo Chuan was intrigued. "Please explain it systematically."
System: "Since it's called a mall, its primary function is selling goods, which can be subdivided into countless categories such as training, leisure, dining, entertainment... The host's choice will directly influence Origin Mall's future development."
Luo Chuan nodded, both understanding and somewhat surprised.
It seemed that being a shopkeeper carried significant weight.
Following the system's explanation, he decided on his choice.
"System, I choose the training direction."
In Tianlan Continent, where cultivation was paramount, focusing on training seemed like a logical choice.
"Selection successful! Please proceed with the draw, host."
With the system's prompt, Luo Chuan noticed that the lottery roulette had shrunk by a full circle, the rewards on it numerous and varied.
