Love money like life Love life Small boss × will become a double standard later System attack

Luo Chaoxi is a loyal player of the business game "Ancient Grocery Store". He worked hard and krypton, and finally graduated with all the achievements of the picture book. When he was planning to play the game, an accident sent him into the game. He

also brought the game system.

But the problem is that the full-level experience he worked hard for was reset to zero, and the things in the backpack were all sealed and needed to be upgraded again before they could be opened.

He was heavily in debt, and in a few days he would be kicked out by the landlord.

The only thing he could use was a pack of instant noodles.

Luo Chaoxi: People should learn to be satisfied.

It's so funny, if you don't make money, you will starve to death!

There is a grocery store in Shengguo, which has all kinds of strange things.

In peacetime, the store provides milk tea, instant noodles, snail noodles, and fried chicken, hamburgers, cola and French fries!

In times of war, the store has a set of crossbows, chariots, and magic weapons!

Luo Chaoxi works diligently to make money during the day, and at night, Luo Chaoxi gets knocked on the door.

A female ghost in red knocks on the door → "Boss, I want to buy some of the new lipstick and foundation that have been released recently. My face is pale recently, and it's easy to scare people when I go out."

A sword-controlling cultivator comes to the door → "Boss, I want to buy a new scabbard for my wife's sword, the kind with hot and cold temperature control!"

The monk next door comes to the door → "Boss, that vegetarian food..."

Luo Chaoxi counts the silver happily.

I'm just an ordinary little boss!

Chapter 1 The first day of opening the store

Luo Chaoxi opened his eyes and saw a dilapidated interior of a house.

[You are now in the fortress city of Shengguo, Qingguo and Beidi: Kangzhou City.

Now the war has just ended, and everything is in ruins. Kangzhou City has a prosperous business, and many merchants are trading again.

Your parents died in the war, leaving you only a house and a shop with a half-month lease. However, you have no talent for business. In less than three months of operation, you have lost all your savings and owed your neighbor Uncle Chen two months of rent. In another half a month, you will be on the street. ]

A slightly stiff AI anthropomorphic voice sounded in Luo Chaoxi's ears, explaining the current situation to Luo Chaoxi, which is also the background of this world.

The system had told him when he bound the system before, but Luo Chaoxi was still very emotional when he really came to a strange world.

He died suddenly at home because of the intensity of work. When he was about to reincarnate, the system came to him and gave him a chance to let Luo Chaoxi start over.

In order to facilitate Luo Chaoxi's understanding, the system directly changed its operating mode to the game that Luo Chaoxi is most familiar with

- "

Ancient Grocery Store". "Ancient Grocery Store" is a business infrastructure game that has received rave reviews in the past two years. As a business infrastructure game enthusiast, Luo Chaoxi naturally started playing this game on the first day of the server opening.

This game has a grand background, many settings and systems, but it will not make people dizzy. Luo Chaoxi likes this game very much. He is both liver and krypton, and finally became the first full-level player in the whole server.

Not only full level, he also achieved several achievements of full tasks, full achievements, and full collection, and successfully triggered the hidden system of the game.

Of course, there is another important triggering condition, that is, Luo Chaoxi died.

The system said so, but Luo Chaoxi didn't really care about the specific details. For him, this is equivalent to another life, and he didn't lose.

What's more, he can spend the money he earns, and he can also experience the style that others can't experience, isn't it also good?

The only thing that makes Luo Chaoxi headache is the background of his current identity.

The shop he is in now does not belong to him, but he rents it. He has already owed half a year's rent. In another half a month, he will be kicked out.

This is different from the setting in the game.

But it is normal. After all, this is not a game world. Just treat it as a novice task.

Luo Chaoxi habitually checked the round button that had been floating on the left side of his sight from a while ago. It was marked with the three words [Main Menu].

Luo Chaoxi clicked it, and the character information was in the upper left corner.

[Name: Luo Chaoxi

Race: Human

Bloodline: ? ? ?

Age: 16

Level: 0 [Ordinary]

Experience value: 0/10

Coins: 0

Goods: None

Store: None]

Starting from scratch? Not surprising.

But what about this race?

"Ancient Grocery Store" does not seem to have this setting.

[The system knowledge is based on the settings of this game, which does not mean that all settings are based on the game. ] The system explained, [Everything in your backpack is there, but for the sake of balance, the things in your backpack will be frozen and unsealed as the system is upgraded. ]

Luo Chaoxi clicked on the backpack and saw that it was indeed the case.

All the things I have worked hard for for so many years are in it, but most of them are locked in gray. Most of the things that can be used are clothes and pendants that can only be used for decoration and have no specific functions.

And these things cannot be put on the shelf, they can only be given away.

There are several modules in the bottom row, such as [Store], [Achievements], and [Warehouse]. In the upper right corner of the screen is a [Daily Sign-in] that is shining with golden light.

Daily sign-in will reward experience and copper coins. Luo Chaoxi clicked on the sign-in.

[System: Congratulations on your first successful sign-in. You have obtained 10 experience points and [Copper coins] × 100]

[System: Congratulations on the player's successful upgrade. You have reached lv.1 [Vendor]. ]

[System: Congratulations on unlocking the mall, and the second-level items have been unlocked. ]

[System: Congratulations on obtaining [Newbie Gift Pack] × 1, please use it! ]

Luo Chaoxi clicked on the backpack. As expected, in the gray backpack, only the upper left corner was colorful.

It was the newbie gift pack given by the system.

[System: Congratulations to the player for winning [Instant Noodles × 10], [Lonely Orchid Boat Novice Set × 1], [Famous Disc × 1]]

Instant noodles?

"Why instant noodles?" Luo Chaoxi was a little dumbfounded when he saw the things in the novice gift package.

Instant noodles obviously shouldn't exist in this dynasty.

[You have traveled through time, why do you still care about instant noodles? ] The system's explanation was impeccable.

Yes, I have traveled through time and space, so what if instant noodles were sold in ancient times?

And instant noodles are pasta, and it is not a bad thing to appear in ancient times in advance.

The system has a very rough way to upgrade.

Just spend money.

And the system can do a lot of things. As long as you give enough money, the system is equivalent to an all-round butler.

Of course, it costs money.

Luo Chaoxi took out the instant noodles given by the system from his backpack.

This is a set of five plastic-wrapped instant noodles. There are ten bags in total, which is fifty loose bags. Each bag is 150 grams. The flavor is the braised beef with the strongest flavor. Luo Chaoxi actually likes this flavor. He will eat one to refresh himself when he stays up late to work overtime, but he won't eat it when he is in the company because the smell will spread everywhere and his colleagues will have opinions.

"System, can the packaging of this instant noodle be changed?"

[You can buy it in the mall. ]

Luo Chaoxi opened the mall and saw that there is indeed an option to change the packaging.

[Packaging change, 10 coins * 100 times [number of times that can be stored]]

Luo Chaoxi only has 100 coins on him, and it will cost one-tenth of the money to change the packaging of instant noodles.

He has a lot of gold and silver in the game in his backpack, but it is locked and there is no way to use it.

[When can I use my money? ]

[Unlocked as the level increases. ]

And the level increase... also costs money.

Luo Chaoxi gritted his teeth and changed it. After all, he couldn't explain what plastic was, nor could he explain the strange words on the packaging and the printed promotional pictures. If he took it out rashly, it would easily attract other people's attention.

In addition to this black technology, there are many goods that can be purchased in the system mall.

Purchasing goods in the system requires capital. The goods are very complete. Food is cheaper than on the market, but some items that require certain skills and exceed the current level of plane technology are sky-high.

In addition to purchasing in the mall, Luo Chaoxi also saw another option.

[What does this other branch purchase mean? ]

[The host can open a branch in another plane and purchase from another plane. ]

Luo Chaoxi's heart skipped a beat.

[Can I go back to my world? ]

[It will be unlocked after level 3, but each teleportation will cost a certain amount of points. ]

[Points? ]

[1 point = 1 tael of silver = 1,000 Chinese currency. The exchange rate for other planes needs to be calculated after it is unlocked. ]

He said that it didn't matter if he died, no one cared about him, but if there was really a chance to go back, Luo Chaoxi would not let it go.

Who would make things difficult for themselves after getting used to the convenient modern life?

Luo Chaoxi glanced at his experience bar.

In addition to the ten points of experience given when signing in to upgrade himself to the next level, the experience bar from level 1 to level 2 was as much as 10,000, which would be 10,000 copper coins, which would be 10 taels of silver, or 10,000 Chinese currency.

Ten taels of silver was a huge sum of money for Luo Chaoxi, who only had a hundred copper coins on his body.

After DJ purchased it, the instant noodles in Luo Chaoxi's hand turned into a pile of palm-wide bamboo tubes, with a stopper made of bamboo on top. The lid was very close, but there was a bulge next to it, and a little force could open the lid. On the lid of the bamboo tube, there were a few words engraved in cursive.

[Nine Points of Water]

Nine Points of Water is the name Luo Chaoxi gave his store in the game, which is derived from his own name.

He heard from his parents that he lacked water in the five elements, so he took the name Chaoxi. When he was in school, he was often joked that he lacked water in his life. Later, Luo Chaoxi himself liked to play with memes and used the name Nine Points of Water when he opened the store.

Luo Chaoxi opened the lid and saw a piece of noodle and a seasoning packet wrapped in oil paper. The sauce was stuffed in a watertight bag like corn leaves to ensure that it would not melt and penetrate the oil paper due to the heat. The dried vegetable bag and the sauce bag were all in the same packaging.

Isn't this just instant noodles in a barrel?

A total of fifty boxes of instant noodles were neatly placed on the table in front of him, and they actually looked a bit like works of art. He just took a look and found that the system marked the price of such instant noodles in a pack as ten wen, which means that the price of a pack of loose instant noodles is two wen.

Originally, the unit price was in points, but Luo Chaoxi had a headache looking at the decimal point starting with 0, so he simply asked the system to change it to copper coins and automatically convert it when deducting money.

And Luo Chaoxi needed to count the cost of changing the packaging and the profit, so a piece of noodles was probably less than three wen.

Luo Chaoxi looked at the shabby door that he had closed, and touched the few copper coins left in his pocket, feeling a little painful.

Forget it, let's eat first.

Luo Chaoxi was resurrected, and then he went to figure out the system, and finally worried about the packaging. His stomach was already empty, and now he could only eat instant noodles.

It's difficult.

Luo Chaoxi opened the door and let the sunlight from outside in. Luo Chaoxi saw the complete layout of the store.

Seeing it in the game is one thing, but experiencing it in person is different.

The store is about 60 square meters in size. To the right of the door is a place similar to a cashier counter. To the left of the wall and next to the cashier counter are shelves. At this time, the shelves are empty. In the middle is an open space and a few tables and chairs, but all the tables, chairs and furniture are very old. It can be seen that they have been used for many years. The windows and doors are not closed tightly, leaving a big gap. Now the wind is blowing in from outside. Fortunately, it is early autumn now, not too cold, and it can barely hold on.

Luo Chaoxi looked around in the store, but couldn't find hot water, but he found a daily prop called [Zhushuiquan] in the props in his backpack.

The hot water used for making tea is just right for making instant noodles.

Luo Chaoxi opened the door, took the instant noodles he had opened at the beginning, sat on the table closest to the door, poured hot water, and waited for five minutes.

He opened the lid of the instant noodles, and suddenly, a smell of braised beef floated out of the store and quickly drifted into the noses of customers in several nearby stores.

"Why is it naan with barbecue again?" In the shop next door, a group of people couldn't help complaining as they looked at the food served. "Every time we go to Beidi, we eat meat, every day, every day, and every time we go to the toilet, it's uncomfortable."

"Aren't there only a few kinds of dry food?" Someone comforted him, "If it doesn't work, we can bring more vegetables when we leave this time."

"But won't we still have to eat meat when we get to Beidi?"

In a shop next door, a caravan was making preparations before departure.

Now that the war has just ended, these caravans will take advantage of these opportunities to do business in the other two places.

It's dangerous, but the profits are huge, and one round trip can feed them for three years.

But there are problems.

Going to the Western Regions is better, you can eat more, but going to Beidi is different. There is no one there, and you have to go through the Gobi Desert. They can't bring too many things that are inconvenient to store for a long time. They can only eat that little food every time they go back and forth. They have had enough, but there is nothing they can do.

Kangzhou City was the last city they could go to for supplies, but they only had a few supplies.

Dry biscuits and water.

At this time, a refreshing smell quietly entered the noses of several people.

This refreshed the caravan members who had been traveling for several days.

The smell was very strange, they had never smelled it before, but it stimulated their appetite inexplicably. Several people even swallowed their saliva. Everyone looked at each other and saw that everyone had the same intention. They put the money on the table and followed the smell with the meat patties to the door of the inconspicuous small shop next door. When they arrived at the

door of the store, the smell was even stronger.

This is it!
