It's just a grocery store.

After watching Yukimura enter the school, Lingshi took a quick look at the school and left. There was still one day left before picking up the children from school, so what should he do next?

Midnight was relatively quiet when there weren't any special transactions; after all, the grocery store wasn't busy. So much so that when Hagiwara and Matsuda first met, their suspicions about him hadn't subsided at all. They were still suspicious today, though the direction of their suspicions had changed.

If the kid was innocent and cute when he was young, he can only be described as a naughty kid who likes to have wild thoughts when he grows up.

The two children who were worried about not having enough food to eat and not having enough clothes to wear now actually suspect that I am doing something strange!

Midnight: Even if they didn’t say so, it’s clearly written on their faces!

At midnight, Xizi held her heart and sighed sadly for a while, and then was dismantled by the system.

System: But in fact, a lot of shameful "deals" were indeed done.

Zero Hour: Who are you complaining to? Me? I understand.

At zero o'clock, I grabbed the system in my pocket and started to ravage it.

System: Ahhhh, this is animal abuse!!!

Zero Hour: Shut up, you are not an animal.

System: Abusing the system is not allowed!

I ignored him at midnight, finally letting go of the limp weasel and rethinking my plans for the day. Since there wasn't anything in particular I wanted to do, I'd just... buy, buy, buy!

I arrived at the mall entrance a short while before midnight. There was no need to make any plans when shopping. I just bought whatever I wanted. It was simple, rough and efficient.

System: When the host first came here, he was still a poor guy and had to compare prices before buying anything.

Midnight: I noticed you're a little bit naughty today.

The system simply pretended to be dead and ignored it. Lingshi thought for a while, then reached into his pocket and pinched the back of the weasel's neck.

Midnight: Let’s go eat out. What do you want to eat? Fried chicken?

The system moved its ears and played a combo at zero time.

Midnight: Shall I make you another braised rabbit head tonight?

The system couldn't bear it any longer and shook Lingshi's fingers.

System: Great, go buy some fried chicken now. I want popcorn chicken and French fries!

It only takes two meals to appease a system. Lingshi pushed his unnecessary glasses in his mind and admired his own intelligence.

After walking around most of the mall and buying fried chicken for the system, I saw a newly opened shop before leaving. This small shop caught my attention because of its unique decoration.

Compared with other stores, this store seems to have more customers, most of whom are young people. Lingshi, who thinks he is young and has no limits, walked in resolutely.

Only when you walk in can you see that this is a store specializing in small items, which are exquisite and beautiful.

Midnight: No wonder all the people coming in are girls.

System: Do you want to go out?

Ling Shi felt it was too embarrassing to go out now, so he walked into the store. The further he went inside, the more he could see the care taken in the decoration. No wonder there were so many customers.

But, I felt like a grown man, standing out among the girls, was too different. Maybe I should just go out. More and more eyes were focused on me, and my social anxiety radar was about to start screaming.

Lingshi turned around and was about to leave, but stopped when he saw a product, and the system sent a puzzled signal.

System: Host?

Zero Hour: Wait, this thing...I want to buy it.

System: Ah? Then, then you want to buy it?

Zero Hour: But there are two, which one should I choose?

System: Of course I want them all.

Zero Hour: ...You really learned my essence.

System: Hey, it’s nothing.

Lingshi carefully picked up the two little things and went to the front desk to pay. The lady who collected the money couldn't help but look up at Lingshi, probably thinking that a grown man like Lingshi also liked this kind of thing.

Lingshi raised the corners of his lips and smiled politely, which made the young lady feel embarrassed. She increased her speed and quickly put the clothes on Lingshi.

At midnight, he picked up the bag and walked out. Thinking of the two little gadgets in his hands, he didn't even ride the motorcycle, but walked directly back to the grocery store.

System: Host, my fried chicken!!!

Midnight: It’s not far, stop howling!

The system was ruthlessly suppressed. After a while of mumbling, it finally returned to the store. It jumped onto the table, staring expectantly. Zero had no choice but to take out the fried chicken box, open it, and feed it before sorting out the things they had just bought.

Most of the newly bought things were put on display in the grocery store, with only a few left on the second floor. After this arrangement, Lingshi felt a sense of accomplishment.

System: You are not opening a store here, the first floor is clearly your storage room.

The system held a chicken leg in its arms, chewing on it while complaining. After all, except for the one purchase when midnight came, all the other goods in this grocery store were decorations bought by midnight.

How can business be good if there is no import of goods? Lingshi said:

I don't really rely on this store business to make a living, so what's the problem with using it as a big living room for myself!

The system never interferes with any decision made by the host. Moreover, the host's task completion can be considered excellent. The host can do whatever he wants with this store.

Although sometimes I put things I don’t want on the shelves at odd hours, the system has changed from sounding alarms in the beginning to not caring about it now.

System: It’s not a big deal, just a few small ornaments, you can put them there. At least you didn’t put your used daily necessities up there to sell.

Lingshi's KTV planning for the system is obviously quite successful. The current system is just like a little weasel that can be summoned and dismissed by Lingshi at will. It is very obedient.

System: He gave too much.

The system was enjoying the chicken wings, completely unaware of its own changes. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that it was a fake weasel.

When school was over, I went to pick up Yukimura at midnight, but saw Matsuda and Hagiwara at the school gate.

Matsuda: "Why are you here?"

Hagiwara: "Wow, Brother Zero, your car is so cool, can you take me for a ride?"

Zero Hour: "Are you actually going to school here?"

All three of them fell silent at this moment. At that moment, silence was the Cambridge of tonight. No wonder, Matsuda and Hagiwara immediately protested after realizing what was happening.

Matsuda: "Hey, hey, hey, you guy, I clearly told you before!"

Hagiwara: "That's too much, Brother Ling! How could you do this to us? As compensation, I want to go for a ride on your motorcycle!"

Ling Shi: "Oh, it seems like that happened, but I forgot. Sorry."

Matsuda: "What do you mean by forgotten?"

The three people making noise at the school gate were particularly conspicuous, so Yukimura saw them at a glance when he came out. He remembered that he forgot to tell Lingshi that his club activities would be later, so he came out, but what was the situation now?

Yukimura walked up and asked:

"Brother Shi, what's going on?"

Zero looked back as if he saw his savior and pounced on him like a big cat.

Zero Hour: "Little Elf City, ahhhh, let's run!"

Matsuda: "Don't run, you bastard!"

Hagiwara: "Oh, isn't this from the tennis club? When did you meet him, Rei-kun?"

Hagi pulled Matsuda over out of curiosity, and Matsuda realized that if Lingshi could forget that they were going to school here, it couldn't be because they knew the students here.

Two pairs of eyes stared at him, which made Lingshi feel a little guilty. Yukimura broke the awkwardness and smiled at the two classmates in front of him.

Yukimura: "Hello, I'm Yukimura Seiichi, a third-year student."

Yukimura was not surprised to be recognized by Hagiwara. He was aware of his own popularity in school. He was just curious about the relationship between the two people in front of him and Reitoki.

Hagiwara quickly pulled Matsuda over to greet them and introduced himself, but when he talked about how Reiji and Yukimura knew each other, they were once again at a stalemate.

Hagiwara pulled Matsuda aside and whispered something in his ear. Lingshi held his forehead to the sky and looked up at the sky, not wanting to talk at all. Yukimura found it amusing but did not explain.

Ling Shi couldn't stand the way Matsuda and Hagiwara deliberately whispered in front of him, and glanced at him from time to time. It was obvious that these two guys were openly destroying his image.

Zero Hour: "You two, I'm just here to pick up Xiao Jingshi. We'll be leaving first."

Unexpectedly, the two men's eyes became brighter, full of disbelief. Hagiwara stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at Zero Hour.

Hagiwara: "Brother Ling, you have really fallen. How could you kidnap and traffic people?"

Zero hour:?

Yukimura: That's quite interesting. Judging from his acting, he and Nioh will definitely get along well.

Matsuda: "What? You're really starving to death, you actually did something like this."

Zero Hour: "What the hell? Xiao Jingshi is just staying at my place, it's normal for me to come and pick him up."

Hagiwara: "You've actually taken her back home! That's scary, Brother Ling! I can't protect you anymore."

As Hagiwara said this, he took out his cell phone and was about to make a call. Lingshi couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to stop him but was stopped by Matsuda.

Matsuda: "It's never too late to repent, Rei-nii."

Hagiwara: "We are all doing this for your own good."

The two people's tone became bad, and a triumphant smile appeared on their faces.

Zero Hour: I finally figured it out. These two guys are clearly playing tricks on me!
