Linsey's Magical Plant Shop

"Mr. Linsey, your ' Maiden's Lament ' is quite vibrant!"

"Miss Rosse, I think the reason it is so beautiful is that it was chosen by a beauty like you."

"Haha! You're quite the smooth talker. But I think it's more a testament to your excellent cultivation techniques."

Among the officially open shops.

Linsey saw the guests off and received two Silver Coin.

Madam Rosse, who also lived in the Northeast District, left satisfied, carrying a pot of bright yellow flowers.

"This is the twenty-fourth person."

Linsey returned inside and sat down by the cabinet in the front hall.

He appeared to be thinking about a problem, but in reality, he was observing his own Attribute Panel.

After the residential building was completed, Linsey immediately converted it into a building in the [Shop Management] category.

At this point, they have also begun to gather information.

[Shop: Linsey's Magical Plant Shop]

[Level: 1 (24/50)]

[Shop Staff: 0/0]

[Awareness: Few people know about it]

[Goods: Light Lung Grass, Weeping Beauty, Witch's Smile, Summer Bamboo, Ren Grass, Jade Gentian...]

Furniture: wooden shelves, wooden counters, glass windows...

[Warehouse: Source Isolation Ice Jade, Steel Vine Vitality Potion, Crystal...]

Simply put

Linsey is now a homeowner.

After the [Shop Management] skill is activated, the essential concept of this house has become a game property.

Linsey could simply put it away and unfold it again in any sufficiently open space. Items that weren't usually needed but took up space in her baggage were moved by Linsey to the store's warehouse.

Gazing at the numbers above, Linsey drifted into daydreams.

His mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts.

As transactions continue, the shop's level cap will increase, and you can upgrade by submitting the corresponding materials.

There are 26 transactions needed to reach the 50 required for a level 2 store.

According to the development pattern of Game Player' abilities.

Linsey believes that as long as the store is upgraded, more capabilities will be unlocked.

For example, the one with the message "[Employee: 0/0]".

If Linsey unlocks the ability to hire shop assistants, she should be able to designate living people as shop employees and then move them away by taking the shop with her.

"The baggage skill cannot hold living creatures, but it can be placed in future shops."

"The two can complement each other, which can be considered a kind of game collaboration? Or maybe one day I can switch to a slave shop and directly transport people along with the shop?"

Of course, this is just Linsey's idea.

The [Shop Management] skill can currently only be used to transform one building. He has no intention of abandoning his current residence and starting from scratch to build a slave shop.

"The slave trade is indeed a matter that challenges the bottom line."

"..."

Good morning, Mr. Linsey.

Just then, a furry white figure walked in.

Rui Li came to visit early in the morning.

This Cha Luo Rabbit People was carrying a wicker basket filled to the brim with longans.

From the day she was hired to carry out the construction.

Rui Li was immediately captivated and deeply moved by Linsey's delicious food.

Now that Linsey's shop is open, she doesn't mind sharing food with her friends, so Rui Li often comes to visit.

Whenever he arrives, this Cha Luo Rabbit People brings a considerable amount of fruit.

Linsey immediately welcomed him:

Good morning, Rui Li.

"I tried baking some bread today, have a taste."

Linsey's bread, of course, uses only the most basic ingredients.

But thanks to the skill involved, these simple breads are golden and tempting, baked to perfection, plump in shape, and have a wonderfully crispy texture.

With one bite, the bread is soft and springy inside.

The warmth and enticing aroma of freshly baked wheat spread throughout the room, and every bite offers a delicate texture and distinct flavors.

"Great!"

Rui Li squinted her eyes happily before speaking to Linsey:

"I just saw Madam Rosse leave from here; she was carrying your flowers."

Linsey smiled and nodded:

"We've had some business these past couple of days, and things are going fairly well."

While attending to Rui Li, Linsey also began to manage her own goods.

Most of these plants were collected with the help of Ailini, while a small portion were varieties that Linsey found in the market herself.

Besides ornamental flowers.

It actually contains some hallucinogenic, toxic, or medicinal plants.

Unfortunately, these plants are not easy to sell, and in the end, Linsey will probably end up using them herself.

Having something to do while recovering from an injury is a kind of enjoyment.

Not to mention, Linsey also had the Miraculous Seed he obtained from the Black Mountain World in his bag. He didn't intend to sell these things; he would just try planting them in the yard.

Click—

Around noon, the shop's door was pushed open.

"Mr. Linsey, is that right?"

A man dressed in black walked in, holding a wooden board with information recorded in his hand, and the presence of Essence could be sensed in his body.

"An Awakened One?" Linsey's welcoming smile vanished instantly, but she still nodded politely.

"Yes, I am Linsey. How can I help you?"

The man walked into the lobby, bowed, and said, "I've come from the City Hall to discuss some tax-related issues with you."

"You are an Awakened One, and of course you enjoy certain rights. But let me confirm beforehand, you're not a businessman, are you?"

This question asks about the classification of awakened individuals, not their actual professions.

Linsey replied naturally:

"I'm not a businessman. I should be registered with the City Hall."

The man in black was very polite. "This is just a routine inquiry, please don't mind."

"..."

The next step is the normal tax negotiation.

Linsey registered with a florist.

Because he is an awakened one, the amount he pays is very small, only one-third of that of ordinary business owners, and he goes to the City Hall at the beginning of each month to pay.

However, after dealing with the tax issues...

This man from the City Hall, whose profession as an awakened being was Life Scholar, started a new topic. "Mr. Linsey, we would love to welcome you to run a shop in Lookout Point City."

"However, I actually have another matter I'd like to ask you for today."

Linsey replied calmly, "Please go ahead."

The Life Scholar then revealed his true purpose:

"In order to investigate the current situation in Black Mountain, clear out the Living Corpse, and open up roads in the Hidden Borderlands, we hope to get your help."

Linsey politely declined, saying, "I've already told Mr. Kang Qi everything I know. Shouldn't he be Life Scholar too?"

The man wanted to argue further. "But verbal accounts and those who have actually experienced all of this are definitely different..."

Rumble—

Just then, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.

The Life Scholar's expression changed, and he immediately rushed outside. Turning his head, he saw the plants around Lookout Point City twisting and turning.

As for Linsey...

He didn't even step out of the shop; he could guess the outcome with his eyes closed.

It's definitely because the Forest Veins have been attacked again.

He's angry right now!
