Morning, Ruyi Zhai this way.

They continued to make Broadcast Gymnastics as usual in the morning as instructed by the store manager.

It's just that there is an extra Gu Ni in the team at this time.

After morning exercises, everyone went back to work at their respective stations, and Gu Ni also asked Gu He some questions about refining medicine as he did yesterday.

"Master Gu He, can you explain how this elixir can be used to its fullest potential?"

Seeing that the questions asked by Gu Ni seemed to be a bit level, he smiled and said.

"Okay, that's it..."

After a while of his explanation, Second-Rank Alchemist suddenly became enlightened and ran out of the store without even bothering to say thank you.

He was stunned for a moment after seeing this move, and couldn't help but murmured in confusion.

"What's wrong with Gu Ni?"

After much deliberation, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with this guy, so I simply sat on the chair and rested.

But there was really nothing to play with, and it was quite boring to stay in the store all the time. He asked Xiao Yi Xian.

"Xiao Yi Xian, when will the store manager come back?"

Seeing Gu He like this, she also pursed her lips and smiled.

"If you ask me about this, I don't know. I guess it will be soon."

Yue'er interjected from the side.

"There's no way this guy can go anywhere to have fun."

Hearing this girl actually say Xiao Cheng, Xiao Yi Xian flicked her forehead symbolically.

"Don't say that Shop Owner Xiao, okay, go to work, someone is coming."

Yue'er had no choice but to nod and go to wrap the pastries.

At this time, Xiao Yi Xian looked up and saw Xiao Xun'er coming over, and said with a smile.

"It turns out to be Xun'er, our store manager is not here."

When she heard that Xiao Cheng was not in the store, she frowned and thought to herself.

"Where did this Xiao Cheng go?"

The frown only lasted for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I'm not here to see him, I'm here to buy some pastries."

She originally planned to ask Xiao Cheng about something this time.

She mainly wanted to ask why Xiao Cheng was so nice to Xiao Yan, and she felt that it was abnormal to be able to give so many good things to Xiao Yan.

She doesn't know what little thoughts are at work, but she always thinks of the bad things.

I planned to ask Xiao Cheng today, but from what Xiao Yi Xian said, it turned out that he had been out for two or three days.

Xiao Cheng was not here, so she could only buy some pastries to take back. It just so happened that she had been craving pastries recently, so she also brought some back to Brother Xiao Yan.

"Oh, our store has a lot of new pastries recently. Take a look for yourself."

Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile.

Xiao Xun'er nodded and started to read.

After a while, she bought some Mung Bean Cakes, a piece of Shredded Pork Floss Pastry, and a pound of Sticky Rice Strips. Because Honeyed Shortbread was no longer available, the sales volume has been rising since customers knew about this useful thing for the body.

In just a few days, a large plate of Honeyed Shortbread has been sold out.

"Wait a moment"

Xiao Yi Xian wrapped the cake and said to Xiao Xun'er.

"It's okay"

After a while, Xiao Yi Xian packed her pastries and handed them to her.

After waving and leaving the store, he went directly back to the Xiao Clan.

At this time, Ao Ba Pa came again, naturally because of the management issues of the Jia Lie Family, but this time he came at the wrong time, Xiao Cheng hadn't come yet.

Seeing this, he also sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I don't know when Shop Owner Xiao will come back. Forget it, I'll go back first."

"Okay, Shop Owner Xiao is back, I will let someone notify you"

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, he nodded and turned away.

Near Qingshan Town Monster Mountain Range.

Xiao Cheng and Haibodong encountered a little trouble when they got up early in the morning. It couldn't be called trouble. They just encountered a few first-order monsters Crimson Ice Snake that came out to look for food.

His head was split open by Xiao Cheng's Lightning Palm.

"Old Man Hai, just be a bodyguard when you go back this time. Xiao Wu is gone, which means you can take on this important responsibility."

He sneered at this kid's words and thought to himself.

"I am dignified Dou Huang expert, with the title "Ice Emperor" I will be your bodyguard"

Although he despised this boy in his heart, he had to admit that the magic of the pastries in this boy's shop really shocked him, and he felt that if Xiao Cheng's shop develops in the future, it will definitely help his pastries.

"I wonder what my reward is?"

He was happy to see this guy finally speaking, but when he heard that the old man was asking for payment, he couldn't help but frown, but then relaxed.

"As a reward, you can taste the pastries in my shop for free. Every time I make a new pastry, I can give you a free one. How about this? This treatment is better than Xiao Yi Xian."

He was quite satisfied with this treatment and nodded in agreement.

But at this time Haibodong frowned because he felt an unusual aura.

At this time, the system prompt sounded in Xiao Cheng's mind.

But when he saw the content of the mission, he couldn't help but want to curse.

Side Quest: You have been targeted by the Soul Hall. In a few minutes, a puppet controlled by the Soul Hall will come to kill you. Please kill him within today (Note: The cultivation level is at Three-star Great Dou Master)

Quest Reward: A scratch card (with a secret prize!)

Quest Failure: Become a scarecrow. I believe you will be loved by many crows. Don't you want to give it a try? Smile.

Quest Time: Today, after reading the content of this task, he wanted to curse.

"Can you Soul Hall rats stop being like dog-skin plasters and come to trouble me every time?"

The last time he went to the Snake People Tribe to do a mission and came back to Stone Desert City, this Soul Hall guy attacked Ruyi Zhai once. He looked at the video of that time and didn't take it to heart.

But this time, these people from the Soul Hall actually released a Da Dou Shi level puppet.

Although in the eyes of Haibodong, this meager level of cultivation is like an ant that can be crushed to death at any time, to Eight-star Dou Zhe, who is still just a scumbag, it is like a nuclear bomb. Once it explodes, everything is over.

Also, what is the punishment for breaking the system? I can't wait to become a scarecrow. This system must be retaliating for the insult I gave him yesterday.

What a stingy person, I will draw a circle and curse you.

Then he seemed to think of something and immediately asked the system.

"System, you said in this mission that there will be puppets coming to kill me, so how come there are puppets like this Monster Mountain Range?"

At this time, the system told him about the Soul Hall's attempt to turn the corpse of Wolf Head Mercenary Group into a puppet, which made him shake his head with a wry smile.

I bet you have planted the cause yourself, and you will bear the consequences.

At this time, a rustling sound was heard not far from Haibodong, which made the two of them alert.

"Boy, something is a little abnormal."

"I know it's not normal, you don't need to tell me."

At this time Xiao Cheng thought.

Because there was already a man in rags with scars on his body. His eyes were white, and it seemed that a trace of red light could be seen in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Cheng knew that this was the puppet, he took a deep breath and said.

"Old Man Hai, please don't interfere, leave it to me."

Haibodong glanced at him without saying anything, and took a few steps back, indicating that you're going to go ahead. After the puppet saw the target he wanted to kill, he rushed forward very quickly.

Seeing how fast the puppet was, he also shrank his pupils, instantly running Thunderclap Art all over his body, and then hit the chest of the puppet less than half a meter away from him.

As thunder and lightning exploded, the puppet was knocked back several meters.

But the puppet has no sense of pain, so no matter how hard he hits, it's all useless.

Only by finding the core and destroying it can the puppet be eliminated.

But this one is different, but this puppet is not that puppet, and it will take some effort to destroy it.

Haibodong became an audience with great interest, watching this scene of rookies pecking each other with great interest.

It would definitely be delicious if I could have a bucket of popcorn.

The next moment.

"Old Man Hai, come here and help, this guy is not a human being!!"

Haibodong was confused.

This guy is not a human being in the first place, but he is still a dishonest person.
