It was already afternoon, and there were still three people playing Dou Dizhu in front of Pastry Cart, but this time it was a different person.
Wang Chu left first because he had to rush back to Mad Lion City to deliver cakes, but Qi Shan and Mu Jie were not in a hurry to go back.
As for the third person, it is Fan Qian who came back from collecting wild fruits for making fruit wine.
As soon as he saw the poker, he became interested and sat directly where Wang Chu was sitting before. Mo Ya also went to the grocery store to make fruit wine after getting the wild fruits.
"I haven't played this game called poker yet. You two seniors need to teach me."
Seeing Fan Qian looking so humble and asking for advice, both of them were very satisfied.
"Easy to say, easy to say, come on, next round"
Qi Shan said with a smile, obviously in a good mood. When Wang Chu was still here, he had the best luck and won three games in a row, so he was naturally in a very good mood.
"I'll give you a straight first"
Qi Shan looked at the two of them with a smile and immediately launched his ultimate move.
Mu Jie was not to be outdone, and followed it up with a straight to Qi Shan, which pushed him down.
"Haha, I'll do something right too. Elder Qi, don't blame me."
Although Mu Jie said it very gently, his tone revealed a feeling that this is what I did.
Seeing this, Fan Qian frowned and thought for a moment and chose not to. After all, he had just played, so it was better to be cautious.
As time passed, the three of them played very late. At this time, Mu Jie and Qi Shan finally wanted to leave. However, before leaving, they did not forget to extort a pair of poker cards from Mo Ya.
The two of them even used the excuse to go back and practice hard at Dou Dizhu. If Xiao Cheng knew what they were thinking, they would probably laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
This Dou Dizhu still practices hard, which is also weird.
After everyone left, only Fan Qian was left.
"Xiao Yu, when will your store manager come back?"
"I don't know, we should have to wait for a while. Usually store managers don't tell us how long we will be out for."
Xiao Yu Tantanshou said helplessly.
"That's it. I'll leave first then. Go back and have a rest early. I'm quite tired today."
At the same time, there was a pair of eyes in the darkness not far from Pastry Cart observing this side.
"The owner of the tomb asked me to come over and monitor everything going on in this store, but I didn't find anything wrong."
This person is the disciple of Black Skull Tomb sent by the owner of Black Skull Tomb's tomb to monitor Ruyi Zhai.
But this disciple didn't notice anything unusual on the other side of the car. The only thing he knew was that people who knew Black Emperor Sect, Eight Sects Gate and Mad Lion Gang had been there.
"Continue to monitor me. This unfortunate errand has caught up with me, alas."
With a sigh, the figure continued to hide in the darkness.
Xiao Yu also looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he shouted in the direction of the grocery room.
"Mo Ya, it's getting late. You can go back and rest when you're done."
Mo Ya did hear someone calling him outside, but because the fruit wine machine also made a little noise, it affected him for a moment, so he didn't hear clearly, so he had to wait until he was finished.
Half an hour later, Mo Ya finished his work, packed the fruit wine and went out.
At this time, Xiao Yu and the two had also packed up. They happened to see Mo Ya coming out of the grocery room and said.
"We are going out of business. Mo Ya, please go back and rest."
"Got it"
And Mo Ya suddenly remembered something. It seems that he didn't see Zi Yan today. This is a good thing.
In fact, Zi Yan had woken up a long time ago, but there was no point in staying alone in the inn, so he fell asleep again, and just like that, he slept all day long.
Back at Xiao Cheng, he was very leisurely, setting up a stall and sitting on a chair he got from somewhere. He was in a good mood now.
This was mainly because he saw that the sales progress of Red Bean Cakes on the task list actually sold more than 70 yuan in just one afternoon. This speed was terrifying.
"Now I only need these 20 yuan to complete the task and get the 2,000 points of store manager experience."
He thought to himself, just thinking about putting in so much effort for a mere two thousand experience points made him feel a little unhappy.
"System, I've worked so hard, why don't you give me some rewards and encouragement?"
When God entrusts a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin...
"Stop, stop, stop talking, I understand."
He was really speechless. This was speaking of classical Chinese. Didn't he just want to express that you have to endure hardships if you want to get rewards? How could he not understand?
So he secretly raised his middle finger at the system, and he began to think about whether to incense the system or something. He respected the system very much.
"System, I think it's not easy for you. You have to set tasks for me, calculate rewards, and do other things. I think I should burn incense for you and pray for blessings. How about that?"
After hearing what Xiao Cheng said, the system actually went silent, but not for a few minutes.
Host, what does it mean to offer incense and pray for blessings?
Xiao Cheng grinned and said with an attitude of "I am thinking about you."
"System, I think you are too great and work too hard, so I want to do something for you. I think all I can do is burn incense and pray for blessings. This is a sign of respect for you."
The system seems to be calculating something and hasn't reacted yet.
After a while, the system's reply made him happy.
Host, thank you. However, at this moment, his heart was bursting with joy. God was offering incense and praying for blessings. He just wanted to curse the system in some way.
Every time after quarreling with the system, this guy will definitely do something small in the next mission. He will get used to it after a while, but he can't swallow this breath, so he must regain his face.
I didn't do much by offering incense. As for praying, he sneered secretly. I would "pray" properly.
In this way, he decided to burn incense and "pray" for the system every week.
It's just that it's getting late now. He stretched and felt that it was time to close the stall and find a place to rest. Today's harvest was quite fruitful, and the progress of the task was also very good.
"Come early tomorrow, maybe you can have a good start."
He hummed a little tune and leisurely went to find a place to live.
At this time, Snake People Temple, Queen Medusa, was staring blankly at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh, I don't know if it's right or wrong."
After saying this, she disappeared to who knows where.
While Xiao Cheng was busy completing tasks on Stone Desert City's side, a big event happened on the Earth Flame Sect's side.
An elder of the Earth Flame Sect directly snatched some of the pastries and defected from the sect in order to get more pastries. This made Yan very angry that someone could be so bold.
So he summoned everyone in the sect and began to search the surrounding area.
Fortunately, not many pastries were taken away, which made Yan relieved. However, he became more and more angry, so he increased the search intensity, hoping to catch the elder soon.
It's a pity that this elder is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He seemed to know that the sect was going to search the surrounding area, so he hid.
