[Suixin Grocery Store, Important Notice.]
As the manager of this store, you enjoy the entitled rights after signing the contractwith this guidebook.
(Inside this store, you are in absolute safety; no one can hurt you.) As you can see, this is a General Storethat sells all kinds of novel goods and also acquires some interesting trinkets.
Every day, there will be guests from various places, and they might not even belong to this world.
The basement downstairs is a field for growing medicinal herbs.
Although it is underground, it has energy lamps that release special photosynthesis, so you don’t need to worry about lighting.
There is a bank card in the drawer containing the savings left behind by previous managers of the General Store, which can be used as your startup capital.
As you can see, this is a Suixin Grocery Storewhere everything goes according to your wishes, but please don’t do anything bad~ Although, since you were able to inherit the General Storeand successfully sign the contract with the guidebook, you must be a kind-hearted person.
[The above are all the notices.
Wishing you a smooth opening~]
After browsing through all seven points, Furina gave a casual wave, and the guidebook automatically closed and floated beside her.
“Hehe, not bad.
Not only does it protect my personal safety, but it also gives me startup capital.”
With a silly grin, Furina picked up the bank card, tucked it into her pocket, and then patted it like a treasure.
She closed the drawer and continued to tour the General Store.
Passing the back door, she arrived at a corridor.
Ahead was a staircase leading directly to the second floor, and on the left and right sides were two doors.
The one on the right was a warehouse, and the one on the left was the living room and kitchen.
She pushed open the warehouse door, turned on the lights, and saw that it was quite spacious, stacked with some rather antique wooden shelves, as well as some tables, chairs, display cabinets, and other furniture needed for a General Store.
Then there was a corner with a hidden door.
There was a groove on the door, and the pattern was clearly that of the guidebook floating beside her.
Furina pressed the book into it, and with a “Click~!” the hidden door opened.
She poked her little head in to look, her eyes widening slightly.
Involuntarily, the cute Furina opened her mouth wide.
Inside was a place similar to a sub-space, with countless glass display cabinets, and the space was quite large.
“This must be the storage room~ After all, the guidebook said this is a shop for selling and acquiring novel trinkets, so it must have a special storage space.”
However, it was currently very empty; there was nothing inside.
Furina nodded, considering it understood.
Just as she was about to leave, a cash register flew over from the very back of the storage room.
Seeing this, Furina stepped back slightly and reached out to catch it.
Before she could examine the machine in her hand, the guidebook on the hidden door emitted a blue light, floated to her side, and opened to a page introducing it.
[Suixin Cash Register]: This is a cash register exclusive to the General Store.
It can convert various currencies into Hydro coins (the store’s exclusive currency), and it can also convert Hydro coins into the required currency.
“I see.
It’s a good thing you little guy came over automatically, otherwise it would have been difficult later.”
Smiling, she reached out to stroke the cash register, hugged it, walked out of the warehouse, and placed it on the front desk.
She took out her bank card and inserted it into a slot on the cash register.
The next moment, the screen lit up, showing 500 Hydro coins.
Furina’s originally expectant face slumped instantly.
She pursed her lips and couldn’t help but complain.
“What is this?
I thought the assets left by previous managers would be at least tens of millions, but you’re telling me there’s only five hundred…”
After being stunned for a long time, she finally clicked on the exchange button and found the currency needed for New Eridu—denny.
1 Hydro coin = 100,000 denny.
The moment she saw the exchange rate, Furina’s expression changed.
“Never mind what I said.
Turns out Hydro coins are so valuable…
Hiss~ But it seems the currency in Zenless Zone Zero is a bit inflated, right?
Even if I exchanged it all, fifty million denny isn’t that much…
Well, let’s take it slow.
First, I’ll go get myself a mobile phone.”
“Then I’ll clean up this shop properly…
and hang up the plaque in the corner~ Mmm, that’s it.”
After making a plan for herself, Furina walked out of the shop excitedly and began to stroll leisurely down the streets of Lumina Square.
When the passersby saw her, they were instantly stunned, and some even took out their phones to secretly take pictures.
Furina noticed it, of course, but she was quite happy.
After all, this was the treatment only big stars got, and she also wanted to become a big star in New Eridu!
Being chased and adored by everyone…
hehe…
No, no, I can’t be like that.
I must be low-key!
I am a General Store owner, the kind of person who is going to become a hidden master.
After buying a mobile phone, Furina walked out of the shop, buying a blue phone case and a small seahorse pendant along the way.
After fiddling with it for a while, she bought a SIM card.
Fortunately, New Eridu had some special channels for this.
After connecting to the network, she was about to find a place to have lunch when she passed a dessert shop, and Furina stopped in her tracks.
Looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the exquisite little desserts in the display cabinet, her eyes sparkled, and without a second thought, she quickly walked in.
Just as she sat down, Furina suddenly realized that she had only exchanged one hundred thousand denny, and after buying the phone, she had less than thirty thousand left.
Fortunately, the price of the desserts was acceptable, generally around six or seven thousand.
Gritting her teeth, she could still afford two small cakes.
Sitting in a well-lit spot, looking at the scenery outside the window, Furina crossed her legs and stirred the coffee in front of her very elegantly.
She took off her hat and placed it on the chair beside her, her two cat ears fully exposed, making this little white Catgirl look even cuter.
The tail behind her was wagging continuously with the owner’s happy mood.
“Hello~ Madam, this is your Matcha Mousse and Cocoa Concentrated Chocolate Sauce Brownie…”
Smiling and nodding to the waiter in a suit, Furina took a sip of coffee and pushed it gently to the side.
At some point, her gloved finger picked up a fork, pulled the matcha cake in front of her, and began to savor it.
The small fork gently cut off a small piece and put it into her mouth.
The sweetness carried the fragrance of matcha, and a hint of bitterness spread.
It was a quite delicious dessert.
Squinting her eyes, Furina couldn’t help but touch her cheek, a smile rising on the corner of her mouth.
So delicious…
This shop is not far from the General Store, I’ll come here for afternoon tea every day from now on~ It’s decided!
Just as she was about to continue tasting, her eyes opened, and she froze instantly.
Opposite her, at some point, a girl with golden hair, red pupils, and two sharp fangs was looking at the small cake on her table with her mouth full of saliva.
“You, who are you…?”
What kind of snake?
Snake!!!!
Looking down, she saw the little white snake wrapped around the other person’s neck.
For some reason, Furina’s heart instinctively panicked.
“Ah~!!
Snake, snake—don’t come over~ Stay away from me.”
She leaned back slightly and pointed at Cissia.
“Hey!
You, don’t be afraid, I don’t have any ill intentions…
I just, just want to have a bite of your cake, is that okay?”
Looking at the other person’s attire, the gorgeous blue-black dress, and the outstanding elegant aristocratic temperament, she could be the daughter of some wealthy family or a big star.
Cissia was also muttering to herself.
She had been moving around Lumina Square for several days and was really too hungry, which was why she had set her sights on this little Catgirl who looked silly and cute.
She seems very afraid of me~ Hehe, that makes it easier.
“Ahem, if you don’t want me to get close, how about you share a piece of cake with me?”
Coughing a few times, Cissia said with a sly tone, showing her two fangs.
Fortunately, reason prevailed.
After calming the panic in her heart, Furina adjusted her sitting posture, put down her fork, picked up the coffee beside her, stirred it twice, and took a sip.
“Hmm…
Why should I?
Aren’t you just a snake?
Pay me, and I can give you some.”
The snake girl was stunned.
Seeing Furina suddenly become cold and aloof, she blinked.
“Ah, I, I am a snake~!
I’ll bite you, you know~!”
Suppressing the urge to retreat, Furina’s reason kept telling herself that the other party was just a snake, the other party was just a snake.
Moving her chair back imperceptibly, she looked at the blonde girl in front of her.
“Hey~ The Public Security Bureau is over there.
How about we move there?”
