Plane Store: I rely on five-star reviews to become rich and live forever

(The ending of the previous chapter was modified. It is not "several executives", but Janet and Orange Sugar. The original intention was to gather the senior executives of the industrial park for dinner. After counting today, wow, there are not many = =)

In Yunzhi Building, a small square table was quietly placed by the window.

Gu Xingyan, Baizhi, Janet, and a furry calico cat named Chengtang, each chose their own meals and sat around the table.

"Come, let me introduce you to everyone," Gu Xingyan greeted enthusiastically.

"This is Bai Zhi, Doctor Bai. You will be the chief physician of our Anshen Hall from now on."

Janet nodded gracefully to Bai Zhi: "Hello, Doctor Bai."

Orange Sugar tilted its head curiously and looked Baizhi up and down with its big amber eyes.

"Janet, she is my old friend and has been with me for more than 20 years," Gu Xingyan turned and said to Bai Zhi.

"She has been helping me manage other stores before. You can say that she is the woman who controls the entertainment industry in the mermaid world. She was recently transferred to the pawn shop. She is my anchor."

Bai Zhi's eyes fell on Janet's face, and after carefully examining her for a moment, she said, "Ms. Janet, your race... seems a little complicated?"

Janet was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Well, it's a long story."

Gu Xingyan continued to introduce: "Chengtang, my genius appraiser, and like you, he also studied abroad in the Plane Alliance. You should have a lot of common topics."

Hearing this, Chengtang and Baizhi looked at each other at the same time.

The eyes of a man and a cat met in the air, and time seemed to stop for more than ten seconds.

One has a gentle and deep gaze, as if he can see through everything; the other has a clear and lively gaze, with a hint of inquiry.

They have one thing in common, which is that they like to observe and analyze people at first sight, and they are very accurate in judging people.

Gu Xingyan and Janet looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"How is it?" Gu Xingyan asked, "What did the two great observers find out?"

Bai Zhi retracted her gaze, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Director Chengtang's fortune in recent years has been very good, and he is destined to be rich."

"Wow!" Orange Sugar's eyes widened in surprise, with disbelief written all over his face.

Gu Xingyan smiled and rubbed Chengtang's head: "See, I told you that Chengtang is our family's lucky cat."

"So," Bai Zhi bent down and looked at Cheng Tang, smiling, "What did you find out from me?"

Orange Sugar lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and whispered:

"I'm not that amazing, I just smelled a nice floral scent and couldn't help but sniff it a few more times."

Janet shrugged her nose, looking puzzled: "Flower fragrance? Why don't I smell anything?"

Gu Xingyan didn’t smell it either, but since it was orange candy, it wasn’t surprising.

She said: "A cat's sense of smell is indeed special."

Bai Zhi chuckled and said, "The structure of a cat's sense of smell is very special. Compared to dogs, which are good at tracking faint smells, cats are better at fine-grained identification.

"So, most of the Plane Alliance's law enforcers are dogs, while in the fields of archaeology, treasure appraisal, and chemistry, cats are often the best."

Janet suddenly realized: "So that's why Orange Sugar is so good at identification."

"Hey, stop praising me," Orange Sugar said, burying his head in his paws shyly, "I'll be proud."

None of the three people and one cat followed the rule of "no talking while eating or sleeping", so Gu Xingyan told everyone: "Talk while eating, otherwise the food will get cold."

The three people and the cat started immediately.

The completely different preferences can be clearly seen from their respective plates.

This may be due to race.

For example, Janet and Orange Sugar both like to eat fish, so their plates are filled with seafood stew, including all kinds of fish, shrimps, and shellfish.

Although Janet herself is also a fish, big fish eat small fish, and she grew up eating deep-sea fish.

Some are influenced by culture.

Gu Xingyan prefers Chinese food, and it must be a combination of meat and vegetables, with white rice and a bowl of hot soup.

Some dietary preferences can also reflect a person's health status...

Baizhi's occupational disease came back and she subconsciously glanced at the food everyone had chosen, and her eyes finally fell on Janet.

She asked Janet about the topic just now:

"Ms. Janet, can you tell me about your race...what's going on?"

Janet swallowed the fish in her mouth and continued:

“I was originally a mermaid from the magical plane, but later I lost my inner elixir and became an ordinary human.

"Later, the boss gave me a Kunpeng inner elixir, and with the help of a Taoist ancestor, I was able to extend my life."

Janet downplayed the story, as if she was telling someone else's story, but it actually condensed the ups and downs of her first half of life.

Everyone who hears this will feel that this is a very tough and strong woman.

However, Baizhi is a doctor. She would not admire or feel sorry for Janet. She would just quickly absorb and interpret the information provided by Janet and pay attention to Janet's health.

"Using the inner elixir of other races to prolong life is very common in the world of cultivation and magic," Bai Zhi put down her chopsticks, "but I have studied it and found that this method will have some side effects."

Gu Xingyan was shocked: "Sequelae? Is it serious?"

This method was promoted by her personally. If it harmed Janet, wouldn't that be a case of good intentions leading to bad results?

Bai Zhi comforted him, "Don't worry, it's not that we can't use this method. Compared with the sequelae, saving lives is more important.

“However, if it is not adjusted, the effectiveness of the new inner elixir will be greatly reduced.

"For example, something that was originally planned to extend life for a thousand years may become incompatible after six or seven hundred years, and in serious cases, may even cause allergies."

"Allergy?" Gu Xingyan became even more worried.

Bai Zhi gestured to Janet: "Put your hand over here, I'll take your pulse."

Janet did as she was told.

Bai Zhi’s fingers rested on Janet’s wrist, and after a moment, she let go: “Fortunately, I found some clues from your dietary preferences.

"Your inner elixir has only been integrated for less than a year, so it's not a big problem.

"Come to my clinic regularly for follow-up visits. I'll prescribe a regimen for you, with a combination of diet and exercise, and you'll get better slowly."

Janet put down her chopsticks and sighed sincerely: "Dr. Bai is really amazing. He knows so much just by looking at what dishes I chose."

"The body is very honest," Bai Zhi explained, "If it lacks something, it will tell you through its taste buds. After you changed your inner elixir, your taste has changed a lot, right?"

Janet looked down at the plate and said, "Really? I didn't realize it. I just thought Yunzhilou had more new dishes and I was curious."

Chengtang watched the whole thing and couldn't help but interject: "Your Chinese medicine is amazing, and your cultivation culture is so profound."

Bai Zhi looked at Cheng Tang and said with a smile: "Director Cheng Tang, do you want to try it?"

"Eh? Try what?"

"The demon cultivation system here is very complete. You can cultivate a human body like me, and even have seventy-two transformations."

"But I've been learning cat magic since I was a child," Orange Sugar hesitated, "I've been an adult for a long time now, can I still change my mindset?"

Gu Xingyan encouraged: "Of course you can! The few formations I am good at now were all taught by Xianrong.

"My leader also said that all cultivations have the same goal, which is the transformation and utilization of energy.

"Orange Sugar, you're so smart, there will definitely be no problem."

Orange Sugar was tempted: "Then... I'll give it a try? I don't ask for 72 transformations, just being able to transform into a human form is good enough."

It couldn't help but think of its own study abroad experience, and said enviously: "Although people out there try to cater to races of various body shapes and habits, it is still more convenient for humans with moderate body shapes and flexible fingers."

Janet felt the same way. She said to Orange Sugar, "It is indeed much more convenient to use a human body. Although it may be a little strange at first, it is much more convenient than bouncing dryly with a fish tail."

Chengtang couldn't help but stand up on his feet, but after a while he couldn't hold on anymore and fell back down.

Then it raised its fleshy cat paws, stretched out its round fingers, and tried to move only one of them...

Soon, it was defeated, "Can I really adapt?"

Bai Zhi said slowly: "It is not difficult to get started as a demon cultivator, but it takes some opportunities to cultivate into a human body."

"Chance?" Orange Sugar tilted his head.

"Yes, for example, breaking through realms, overcoming tribulations and transforming, or finding the natural treasure that suits you."

Gu Xingyan slapped her head and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Doctor Bai, can you help Chengtang see if there is any elixir or spiritual plant that is suitable for it?"

The two of them have been searching for top-grade medicinal herbs for so many days. There are so many demon cultivators on the Blue Star of Cultivation, so there is no reason why they can't do it.

Bai Zhi smiled, "Let me think about it. If it's quick, I can make the prescription in the afternoon."

Orange Sugar muttered in disbelief: "What? I can transform into a human form this afternoon? This... I'm not ready yet!"

Several people laughed, "Hahaha..."

Chengtang was so excited that he couldn't help but talk about some embarrassing things he encountered when he was studying abroad because of his short stature.

If only I could get a human form sooner.

After listening to Chengtang's memories, Gu Xingyan became more curious about studying abroad in the Plane Alliance.

"Doctor Bai and Orange Sugar have both studied abroad in the Plane Alliance. Why don't you share your experiences and tell us the tricks of 'getting ashore'?"

Janet immediately became interested: "Yes, I really want to know this."

Neither of their original planes has been connected to the Plane Alliance, but who knows what the future will hold?

Of course, they hope that more younger generations can go to the Plane Alliance for further studies, return after graduation, and benefit their hometown.

Or join the various organizations of the alliance to gain more say for the native plane."

Chengtang tilted his head and talked about his school experience. There was a lot to talk about:

"I am taking the undergraduate exam. The process is that the Plane Alliance will send examiners to each high-dimensional plane to organize a unified written test and interview.

"The annual enrollment scale will be adjusted according to the number of admissions in the previous year. The exam itself does not limit the number of admissions. Everything depends on your ability."

"That sounds fair," Janet commented.

Orange Sugar shook his head: "This can only be considered relatively fair, in fact, the test is very difficult.

“Because the educational resources, teaching systems, and knowledge in each dimension are very different.

“So, in a world that has just been promoted to a higher dimension, for a long period of time, not even one student may pass the exam.

“If a student takes this test as a goal but fails, it will delay his further studies and development in his native plane, wasting his precious youth.

"Therefore, in some higher-dimensional planes that are dedicated to 'sending people out', their local education systems will gradually move closer to the Plane Alliance and eventually reach convergence."

Bai Zhi nodded and looked at Gu Xingyan: "The elf plane we visited before is also a high-dimensional plane.

"They did not introduce the Plane Alliance's teaching system, but insisted on using the elves' own educational philosophy."

Gu Xingyan thought thoughtfully: "These are two completely different choices.

“Sometimes progress is too fast and local culture may be forgotten in the long river of history because it cannot keep up with the development;

"Of course, if we remain complacent and don't make progress, we will encounter many difficulties."

Janet understands this well.

Contact with the outside world certainly carries the risk of changing oneself beyond all recognition, but closing the country to the outside world is not a long-term solution.

She secretly decided that once she had learned the details about studying abroad, she would remind her father and let him make plans early.

Orange Sugar continued, “The Plane Alliance exam has many subjects, and each subject is a huge challenge.

“For example, the most basic cultural subject tests the culture and common sense of the Plane Alliance;

“For example, the law and politics subject tests the Planar Alliance Law, which is all about crimes at the plane level.

"For example, the appraisal major I took required a certain level of appraisal skills. During the interview, the examiner would bring out something from another world and ask us to share our opinions...

"In short, this is a huge disadvantage for small planes where information is not well communicated."

The more Janet listened, the deeper her frown deepened. "It's so difficult. After all, the Plane Alliance faces candidates from countless planes, and the content of the examination is more extensive.

“Without official support, it’s not easy to stand out.”

Orange Sugar nodded vigorously, "Yes, back then, more than a dozen magic instructors from our plane personally escorted a group of us examinees to the Plane Alliance to broaden our horizons.

"The one I need to thank the most is Lady Inia. She asked us what majors we wanted to apply for and gave each of us a set of different preparation materials.

"Even so, there are still only a few cats who can pass the exam."

The table suddenly became quiet.

Those who had experienced it and those who had not experienced it were all silent.

It's difficult just listening to it.

Therefore, everyone who is admitted to the Plane Alliance is a strong person selected from billions.

The topic seemed to end there, and it felt so difficult that it was almost impossible to achieve.

Just at this moment, Professor Octopus passed by with several of his students and greeted Gu Xingyan.

Aislin followed behind him, smiling shyly at Gu Xingyan and Chengtang.

This one is even more awesome.

In the first year after the original plane was promoted to a higher dimensional level, he was admitted, and was an excellent student certified by professors in a first-class university's first-class major.

Even though he has been successfully defrauded, you can't say he is stupid. When it comes to studying, he is undoubtedly a genius.

The professor took only two steps out when he suddenly thought of something and stepped back.

He smiled and said to Gu Xingyan, "Boss Gu, two of our Internet cafe's research projects have published papers in top academic journals. I've sent them to you. You can take a look when you have time."

Gu Xingyan happily opened her communicator and said with a smile, "I got it. Oh, it turns out to be the article by Aislin and Nina. I must read it carefully."

These two children are just the interns who chose to write their graduation thesis while working.

Sure enough, talented people can make academic progress faster than others even if they work part-time while studying.

Those students who followed the professor and spent all day in Internet cafes doing experiments were unable to write anything.

These two academic geniuses who work while on the go have their papers published before their graduation defense even started.

The professor left with satisfaction, and the two children not far away felt a little embarrassed.

The professor really thought well of them.

They rush to improve their boss's favor and make the boss pay more attention to them, which will make it easier for them to get attention in the future.

Gu Xingyan watched the professor go away and briefly explained to Bai Zhi the relationship between those teachers and students and her other store.

Then she paused, remembering that Baizhi hadn't talked about her study abroad experience yet, and as far as she knew, Baizhi's path was completely different.

"By the way, Doctor Bai, how did you get into the Plane Alliance?"

Undergraduate study was already so difficult, and she was a PhD student.

"As for me," Bai Zhi had finished her meal and was holding a cup of tea to digest the food, "I am different from Cheng Tang. I took the path of 'getting a job first, then further study'."

"Oh?"

Gu Xingyan, Janet and Chengtang all pricked up their ears to listen.
