I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Ryan's father, the man who always worked silently and diligently to nurture his family, was the solid foundation of their home. He was like a mountain, steady and steadfast, sheltering his family from the storms of life.

Whenever his father went out to sea to fish, Ryan would always accompany him. The two of them would steer their small fishing boat together, sailing on the shimmering sea, catching the plump fish. At those times, his father's face would always be filled with a satisfied and happy smile, because he knew that with his son by his side, even the hardest work would be worthwhile.

Since Renn became an adventurer, his father has had to venture out to sea alone, facing the unpredictable waves and ferocious schools of fish. Before, his father had the energy and time to cultivate a plot of land in the yard, anticipating the harvest season. But now, he has no time for that.

Recently, the seafood in the sea has become enormous, and even monsters have appeared. Several times when my father went out to sea, he nearly capsized his small fishing boat. In the past, such danger would have been enough to save his life. But fortunately, thanks to the blessing of the Elemental Dragon King, my father is agile and always manages to escape danger swiftly at crucial moments.

Because of the dangers at sea, Father has been unable to go out to sea recently. He decided to reclaim the abandoned land and cultivate something anew. He knew that the responsibility of the family could not fall solely on his son; he also wanted to contribute to the family and share some of the burden.

Although Wang Xiaoyi earned a lot of money from adventure guild quests, his father felt that as the pillar of the family, he had to shoulder his due responsibilities.

As usual, the father prepared to go to the fields. He picked up a seed and suddenly felt a strange energy flowing in his palm. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the seed was emitting a faint, holy white light, a soft and warm glow that seemed to contain the power of life.

The father planted the seed in the ground with a puzzled expression. In an instant, an astonishing scene unfolded. The moment the seed touched the earth, it emitted a dazzling light, like a bolt of lightning striking the ground. In the light, the seed quickly sprouted, growing into a tender green seedling. The entire process took only a few seconds, yet it seemed to transcend the seasons, directly presenting a vibrant scene of life.

The surrounding land was also enveloped in holy light, as if endowed with magical power, becoming even more fertile. The father watched all this in astonishment, his face showing an expression of disbelief and joy.

From then on, my father's farming efficiency greatly improved, and the crops he grew were not only healthier and stronger, but also had some amazing characteristics, such as stronger resistance to diseases and pests, and a more delicious taste.

Neighbors came one after another to ask their father for the secrets of planting, and their father was happy to share his experience, but he knew in his heart that it all came from the mysterious holy attribute bonus.

Wang Xiaoyi stood by the window, gazing at the bustling street outside, his heart filled with doubt. These past few days, his father seemed like a different person, constantly coming and going, incredibly busy. After completing the mission with Alpha that morning, Wang Xiaoyi dragged his father home, only to find he hadn't returned yet.

Around noon, his father finally arrived home, looking travel-worn. Wang Xiaoyi quickly went to greet him, took the package from his hands, and asked with concern, "Father, what have you been busy with these past few days? You look so tired."

The father sighed, patted Wang Xiaoyi's head, and said with a smile, "Raine, I'm actually doing the villagers a favor. You know, I have a special ability that can add holy attributes to seeds. Lately, many farmers have come to me hoping I can help them."

Upon hearing about his father's situation, Wang Xiaoyi was both amused and exasperated. He knew his father's personality well; while he was always willing to help others, endlessly using his Saintly Attribute to assist the neighbors wasn't a sustainable solution. He worried that his father's health wouldn't be able to handle it, as such miracles didn't happen all the time. His father shook his head with a wry smile: "Yes, I'm aware of that problem too. But I don't want to refuse them."

A glint of inspiration flashed in Wang Xiaoyi's eyes, and he suggested, "Father, I think you could consider selling these seeds with added holy attributes in the store. You could add a little extra price, and the villagers would be willing to buy them. Then, you could supply them regularly and let them negotiate prices with the shopkeepers. If you'd like, you could even open your own store to sell the seeds."

The father's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wang Xiaoyi in surprise: "Rayne, your idea is great! This way I can help everyone and also lighten my own burden."

Wang Xiaoyi smiled smugly and continued, "Moreover, Mother should be able to add sacred attributes to the ingredients, right? That way, we can sell these ingredients in the shop. With a shop, we can hire people to do these things, and we won't have to work so hard fishing and farming ourselves anymore."

After listening, the father nodded thoughtfully: "Why didn't I think of that before?"

Wang Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Dad, you're always so busy helping others that you sometimes overlook the simplest solutions. Now that we have this ability, we should make good use of it so that we can help others and improve our own lives."

The father looked at Wang Xiaoyi with satisfaction, his heart filled with pride. He knew that his son had grown up; he not only knew how to care for others but also could come up with such a thoughtful idea.

From that day on, Ryan's father began preparing to open the shop. Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoyi and Alfa continued their tasks while also brainstorming ideas for the family's new business. This family, amidst their busy schedules, welcomed new hope and opportunities.

Wang Xiaoyi's advice not only brought new hope to the family but also injected vitality into their lives. During the shop's preparation, Wang Xiaoyi and Alpha became their father's most capable assistants. Every morning, Wang Xiaoyi would get up early, have breakfast, and then help his father organize the shop, neatly categorizing and arranging various seeds and ingredients. He used the knowledge he had gained during his missions to develop a comprehensive management system for the shop, ensuring that every transaction was accurate.

Alpha utilized his strength and speed to transport goods and assist his father in enhancing the seeds with sacred attributes. His arrival greatly improved work efficiency and gave his father more time to handle other matters.

"Alpha, help me move these seeds to the warehouse," the father said, pointing to a truck full of seeds.

Alpha nodded, easily pushed the car to the warehouse entrance, and then carried the bags of seeds inside. His movements were swift and steady, drawing the attention of those around him.

Wang Xiaoyi diligently recorded each transaction, answering customers' questions from time to time. His attentiveness and patience earned him unanimous praise.

"Raine, help me calculate today's sales figures," the father said as he approached Wang Xiaoyi after a busy day.

Wang Xiaoyi quickly flipped through the ledger in his hand and soon obtained the accurate figures: "Dad, today we sold a total of three hundred bags of seeds and fifty kilograms of ingredients. The turnover is..."

After hearing this, the father nodded in satisfaction: "Well done, you two are really my good helpers."

Opening a shop yourself and taking on the roles of shop assistant and cashier is an indescribable experience, as if you have the entire shop under your control. However, when it comes to accounting, the inability to use a computer and having to rely on manual accounting can be quite overwhelming, revealing a sense of helplessness amidst the tediousness.

With a computer at hand, downloading accounting software like Kingdee or UFIDA allows for easy entry of daily transactions into the system with a simple click, instantly generating accounts—saving both time and effort. It must be said that traditional manual accounting and modern technology each have their own merits and appeal.

While manual bookkeeping is tedious, it allows one to intuitively feel the pulse of each transaction, revealing the true nature of things in the details; computer software, on the other hand, is like a magic crystal, making complex accounting tasks orderly, efficient, and accurate. Perhaps finding a balance between the two is one of the unique pleasures of running a business.

Occasionally immersing myself in the world of running my little shop is a truly wonderful feeling. Every day, I see the silver coins trickling in like a gentle stream, and my goal of making money is steadily progressing towards fulfillment. However, I, Wang Xiaoyi, have grand ambitions. I am not content with merely dabbling in this small village and earning meager profits. My heart yearns for a wider world, a place where I can fully unleash my potential, like a roc with its wings growing strong, eager to soar ten thousand miles.

Even a homebody like me harbors grand dreams, dreams as vast and boundless as the universe. Recently, my father and I had a serious discussion. As our shop's business gradually gets on track, we need to hire a manager and some staff. Once we have suitable candidates, Alpha and I can continue our adventurous journeys.

At this stage, it's crucial to lay the foundation, so you'll need trusted people to manage the shop's affairs. Once the business model is mature, you can hand over the shop to them for operation. However, there are several important considerations when hiring. First, ensure employees are paid reasonable wages, reflecting the value they provide; don't be stingy. Furthermore, offer generous benefits so they feel valued. Of course, most importantly, employees must treat customers with kindness and friendliness; only then can the shop thrive.

Speaking of my father, he appears quite stern on the surface, his serious expression intimidating. But in reality, his heart is as warm as the winter sun, and he is extremely kind to everyone. He has a keen eye for people, able to keenly perceive the needs of his employees, and possesses a fair and kind heart, always treating everyone fairly in handling matters. Therefore, I have great confidence in him as a boss.

As time went by, their hard work gradually paid off. The shop's business flourished, and word of mouth spread throughout the town.

One day, an elderly woman walked into the shop, her eyes shining with anticipation: "I heard that your seeds can increase holy attributes. Could you sell me some? My crops have been getting sick lately, and I desperately need these magical seeds."

Wang Xiaoyi warmly received her and explained in detail the characteristics and advantages of various seeds. Finally, the old woman happily bought several bags of seeds and thanked him repeatedly.

Watching the old woman's departing figure, the father nodded and smiled contentedly.

Wang Xiaoyi and Alpha exchanged a smile, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride. It felt so good to help others. Through opening the store, Wang Xiaoyi's gratitude surged once again, and he made a fortune.
