Yao Ziyan's Shock

Blood fell onto the white paper, leaving behind a purple mark.

Then the white paper began to tremble, light swirling across its surface.

The next instant, it transformed directly into a beam of light and entered Yao Ziyan's body.

Yao Ziyan froze slightly.

She did not sense anything unusual in her body.

The only difference was how she felt about this shop.

It was a rather wondrous feeling. Here, Yao Ziyan seemed to feel a sense of peace.

It was as though she had returned to her childhood, following by her elders' side.

"Contract successfully signed! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first employee. The reward has been issued. Please check and collect it!"

"Detected that the current individual does not match the recommended position."

"Name: Yao Ziyan. Current position: Origin Mall employee. Recommended position: proprietor's wife."

"Would you like to modify it?"

A string of system notifications rang out in Luo Chuan's mind.

System, were you happy teasing me like that?

"No," Luo Chuan replied inwardly.

"The recommended position does not match the current position. Please confirm again, host."

"Confirm."

Luo Chuan was already rolling his eyes inwardly.

"Confirmation successful. Friendly reminder: Yao Ziyan's position may be modified at any time."

Luo Chuan: ...

Seeing Luo Chuan's expression constantly changing, Yao Ziyan cautiously asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"

Luo Chuan shook his head. "Nothing. Congratulations on becoming an official employee of Origin Mall."

Yao Ziyan smiled and nodded.

She no longer knew how long it had been since she had felt such joy from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps becoming a part of this shop truly was not such a bad thing.

Such a thought could not help but arise in Yao Ziyan's heart.

"Oh, right." Luo Chuan suddenly thought of something. "Isn't there a wound on your hand? Go get a bottle of Cola and drink it."

Cola?

Yao Ziyan was somewhat puzzled, because she had no idea what Cola was.

"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce them to you." Luo Chuan pointed at the glass shelf inside. "At present, there are three products in the shop: Cola, Spicy Strips, and Jade Dew."

"You should have seen Jade Dew already. It was what you drank last night."

Last night... the Jade Dew I drank?

Yao Ziyan suddenly recalled that when she had awakened last night, she had indeed seen Luo Chuan give her something contained in a Cold Jade Bottle.

Hiss, had she drunk one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals' worth yesterday?

Even though Yao Ziyan was a Venerable, her heart still ached fiercely.

"But you don't need to worry. As an employee of this shop, those are benefits you're entitled to. I won't make you pay for them," Luo Chuan continued.

The contract she had signed earlier clearly stated that when an employee of the shop encountered mortal danger, they could use the shop's products unconditionally.

Employees could use the shop's non-consumable products for free in their daily lives.

As for what counted as a non-consumable product, Luo Chuan did not know either. After all, there were only three products in the shop at present.

It was much like Luo Chuan's proprietor benefits, only with a few restrictions.

Luo Chuan continued, "As for the Spicy Strips and Cola, you saw them earlier. They were what Wei Qingzhu and the others bought. These two do not have stock limits. Their descriptions are beneath the shelves; you can go take a look later."

"As for your salary." Luo Chuan thought for a moment before saying, "For now, it'll be one pack of Spicy Strips and one Cola every day. Of course, food and lodging are completely free."

Yao Ziyan nodded.

And just like that, a member of the Royal Family of Beasts became a tiny employee in Luo Chuan's shop.

Afterward, Yao Ziyan came before the shelf and began carefully reading the information about the products.

A moment later, she stared at the descriptions before her, already dumbfounded.

Cola, priced at merely Ten Spirit Crystals, could instantly restore all non-fatal injuries.

Spicy Strips, priced at one hundred Spirit Crystals, could raise one's strength for a short time, and their effects could even stack.

She had already witnessed the terrifying effects of Jade Dew, so there was no need to mention it for now...

Yao Ziyan believed that after wandering the Tianlan Continent for countless years, she had seen much and learned much.

Yet at this moment, she only felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen anything...
