Looking at the endless stream of restaurants and grocery stores, Luo Xiaole had a rough idea.
In the beginning, everyone would be curious and likely come to eat a few more times. Moreover, the prices in her restaurant were not expensive, so it had become a very popular check-in spot.
Coupled with the shortage of medicine, there were countless people queuing in front of the adjacent grocery store.
It seemed the place was still too small.
However, she had no plans to expand for now.
Both of these shops were acquired at a bargain price by chance. Many shops in the shopping mall were already occupied, making it difficult to find another vacant one.
"Boss, have you considered doing delivery? Your food is so delicious and sells so well, it's a shame to only operate a physical store." Those lively fellows were truly life players.
Luo Xiaole's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea. You guys arrange the riders and pay attention to vetting and customer feedback. I'll leave these matters to you, I trust you."
"No problem! Boss, don't worry. The salary you give is so generous, we'd feel uneasy if we didn't do more work. Let's call it... Xiao Aluoxian Delivery, can we?"
Luo Xiaole chuckled, "Pfft... sure... then let's call it Aluoxian Delivery..." They truly continued their usual style.
At this moment, at the corner of the store, that young man was secretly calling for backup.
"Brothers, I've encountered a tough nut today!"
He recounted the day's events to his group of unsavory friends.
"How dare that little sprout!"
"She actually ignored my brother!"
"How about this, she's also on the leaderboard, so we shouldn't confront her directly. She's opening a restaurant, right? Just ruin its reputation, wouldn't that work?"
"You're the one who knows how to handle things!" The young man grinned sinisterly. He was determined to make that little sprout pay for bumping into him today!
...
Luo Xiaole, along with Luo Shu and the others, had another delicious meal in the back kitchen.
The group then headed straight to the weapon shop.
Luo Xiaole said she wanted to discuss selling buffs at the weapon shop with them.
Buffs were rather mysterious things, and it was best to use the official channels for transactions to avoid trouble and prevent anyone from plotting anything.
Luo Xiaole looked at Luo Shu and Zhou Xiaojun, who were talking volubly, and was quite surprised.
The two, who usually leaped around like monkeys, had become increasingly adept at management lately.
Not only was the reservation form for weapons meticulously prepared, but even the future shop planning, exhibition booth arrangements, personnel vetting, and even the buff sales plan were all clearly laid out.
Luo Xiaole felt it would be a waste of talent not to pay them a salary!
Only when Luo Xiaole stated the salary amount.
The two jumped up.
"Xiaole, are you trying to kick us out of the house!"
"What are you talking about... what's wrong with me giving you some salary? Isn't it good to have a salary?"
"We live and eat at your place usually, we know what we're doing, okay? Besides, we've already taken on a lot of missions when we were bored. Although not as much as you, we're both little millionaires now, alright!"
"We can support ourselves very well! Don't underestimate us!"
"...Alright, alright, respect!" Luo Xiaole conceded defeat.
Luo Xiaole felt truly at ease with these teammates.
Having resolved another major issue, she went straight home.
This was because Zhou Shoushan had already sent word that her new weapons had arrived.
Luo Xiaole counted them. This batch of weapons totaled 871, but after contemplating, collecting 10,000 weapons seemed like a drop in the ocean.
It seemed she could only count on getting some oil from the Azure Dragon Gang!
"I hope the supplies they're transporting this time is a fat piece of braised pork!" Luo Xiaole silently wished.
She then stayed in her house for the entire afternoon.
By the time dusk settled, she had finally completed the enhancement of this batch of weapons.
【871 weapons have been repaired, costing 174200 store coins, remaining balance 2666985 store coins】
"Gaaaaah!" Luo Xiaole excitedly calculated that after selling these weapons, her store coins should reach 3 million!
It was true that money begets money...
"Xiaole!!" Pi Jiajia urgently knocked on her door.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xiaole felt something big was happening!
"We received news, the Azure Dragon Gang is transporting weapons tomorrow!"
Yes!
Luo Xiaole was thrilled. Things were indeed happening as she wished.
"Do you know their operation time?"
"At night, 9 o'clock."
How cunning...
Luo Xiaole was a bit worried. The Azure Dragon Gang chose this time precisely to use the cover of darkness to conceal their tracks.
But it didn't matter.
They had Mo Chen, whose night vision was incredibly powerful!
Luo Xiaole went to the hall and shared the information from Pi Jiajia with everyone.
Mo Chen's face was filled with satisfaction upon hearing that Luo Xiaole had listed him first in the plan this time.
Even his usual icy poker face inexplicably exuded a hint of spring joy.
"I can't stand him!" Zhou Xiaojun shivered from goosebumps nearby.
"I'll go too this time," Lin Xia came over and patted Luo Xiaole's head.
Luo Xiaole had no choice but to agree.
After all, it concerned the Azure Dragon Gang, and it was understandable for Lin Xia to want to deal with them.
"I'll go too!" Chen Xiaolin also volunteered.
Luo Xiaole tilted her head and thought, remembering the blood curse on her body...
With Chen Xiaolin around, she wouldn't have to swing the big bell anymore!
Luo Xiaole was overjoyed, swinging the big bell was very tiring!
"Luo Shu, you go too."
"Huh? I'm going too?"
"Has your spatial ability improved recently?" Luo Xiaole tested her.
"Of course, it's as big as three football fields now!" Luo Shu puffed up with pride, her little chubby cheeks piling up, looking especially soft and bouncy.
"Good!" Luo Xiaole revealed a satisfied smile.
After all, Luo Shu was specifically brought along to load the goods this time.
Although the number of people was small, they were all elites, and fewer people meant better stealth.
...
The next morning.
"Boss, boss! Beep beep, calling boss!"
Luo Xiaole was still stunned by who had changed her alarm clock to something so bizarre...
Suddenly, she realized it was the lively fellows from the food stall sending her messages.
"???" Luo Xiaole looked bewildered.
"Someone had a problem with the food at the restaurant..." The lively fellow was unusually serious for once.
"What?" Luo Xiaole rolled out of bed, "I'll be right there."
Fortunately, the Azure Dragon Gang's operation was at night, so they could set off in the afternoon.
They had enough time to handle the issue.
"Your food is problematic! My friend collapsed on the ground and foamed at the mouth after only two bites!" In the restaurant, a man was hopping mad.
That young man from yesterday, to avoid being recognized, had been hiding in the elevator lobby on the floor, peeking at the situation.
"There's a cockroach in the food here!" someone from a nearby table also shouted.
