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

President Winnie seems to have completely forgotten that Wang Xiaoyi accepted that SS-rank mission and even possessed the Pointer Fragment. However, this doesn't really matter much. After all, Wang Xiaoyi has the powerful Elf King Dragon by his side; anyone wanting to provoke him would have to think twice before trying.

Wang Xiaoyi was focused on returning to Elparan City as soon as possible to help his father open the branch smoothly and ensure its successful operation. This would be a legitimate business, like a rear base, capable of continuously and steadily increasing revenue, meeting customer needs, and generating a steady stream of gratitude points.

Once the branch stores stabilized, he decided to seek out those dark forces, cause them trouble, rescue those lost sheep living in dire straits, and make them grateful to him.

Wang Xiaoyi, Alpha, and Allen returned to Ryan's father's side without stopping, working together to prepare for the opening of the branch store. As the store manager, Ryan's father was constantly and wholeheartedly engaged in intense negotiations with suppliers. Every supplier's request, the purchase price, and the quality of the goods seemed like a series of hurdles for him to weigh. With old suppliers, he sought favorable terms to secure profits; with new suppliers, he rigorously examined their reputation and product quality like an appraiser.

Wang Xiaoyi, drawing on his human resources experience, took on the crucial role of interviewer. Sitting behind the desk, his gaze was sharp yet gentle. Applicants arrived full of dreams and expectations; those who boasted were immediately seen through as pretentious, while those who expressed difficulties and enthusiasm conveyed genuine desire. Like a talent scout, he meticulously selected the right people for each position.

Alpha and Allen, this duo, handle the store's chores. Like perpetual motion machines, they tirelessly move goods, spinning like tireless tops through the streets and alleys. When faced with heavy loads, they exchange a knowing smile and grit their teeth to lift them together; when searching for delivery locations, they ask for directions like persistent explorers. They also clean the store, meticulously wiping down shelves and floors with their tools until they are spotless.

Leonard Lingfeng, of course, was also present at this crucial moment, personally supervising the renovation work at the branch store. His gaze, sharp as an eagle's, scanned every corner, leaving no stone unturned in detecting any discrepancies with the plans. When he saw the magical runes on the walls, his brow furrowed slightly; he immediately realized that if these runes weren't carefully carved in a specific order, they would lose some of their magical effect. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, his expression serious and earnest, and demanded that the workers readjust them. His voice was deep and powerful, each word carrying unquestionable professionalism and authority. When his gaze shifted to the magical chandelier on the ceiling, he noticed its color scheme was slightly discordant. He didn't reprimand them; instead, he patiently explained to the workers in detail how to modify it. His voice was gentle and meticulous, like a patient and encouraging teacher, sharing his experience and creativity without reservation.

Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, the opening day arrived like a grand festival. The storefront was packed with people well in advance, the crowd surging like a tidal wave. The enormous magic crystal signboard, like a dazzling star, shimmered with dazzling runic light under the sunlight, each ray seemingly telling a story of the branch's unique charm. The surrounding magical bird statues, seemingly infected by the festive atmosphere, flapped their wings joyfully, circling lightly in the air, as if singing and dancing in celebration of the store's opening.

First to arrive was the much-anticipated princess. She rode slowly in a magnificent carriage pulled by four snow-white horses. The carriage was like a moving treasure, every inch exuding an aura of nobility. The carriage was adorned with dazzling gold, its brilliance shimmering and dancing in the sunlight, as if inlaid with countless tiny diamonds. The exquisite carvings on the carriage were meticulously detailed; every line seemed to have been sculpted with the soul of an artisan, telling ancient and mysterious stories. The luxurious silks, like clouds on the horizon, fluttered gently in the wind, emitting a soft sheen, like a flowing river of color.

Surrounded by a reverent and respectful crowd, the princess descended from her carriage like a fairy descending to earth. Her appearance was like a dazzling starlight descending to earth without warning; in an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and all eyes were drawn to her. As if pulled by invisible threads, the crowd involuntarily bowed their heads and paid their respects. Their uniform movements were filled with deep reverence for the princess, as if she were the center of the entire world before them.

With an elegant and charming smile, the princess gracefully entered the shop. Her gaze, like clear lake water, yet brimming with lively curiosity and eager anticipation, slowly wandered through every corner of the store. She approached Renn's father, tilting her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes brimming with joy, and softly said, "Lord Renn Greylock, I have truly been looking forward to this branch of yours for a long time. From the initial meticulous planning to the gradual completion of each brick and tile, every step has been like a carefully composed musical movement, full of delightful melodies. I firmly believe that this branch will shine like a new star rising in the night, illuminating the vast sky of Elparan City with a unique brilliance, becoming a new highlight, attracting numerous customers, and becoming a beloved destination for everyone."

After speaking, the princess slowly turned to Wang Xiaoyi. Her eyes were like a clear spring, flowing with undisguised admiration and approval, and her voice was as melodious as a gentle stream: "Hello, Renn. I've heard your father mention you many times, and I've heard of your intelligence and talent. Now that I see you, you are truly young and promising. You are like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil, full of boundless vitality and potential. You are sure to have a bright future and are worth looking forward to."

As the surrounding crowd watched the princess conversing amicably with the father and son, Rein, they were filled with envy and blessings for the newly opened branch. The branch, seemingly embodied in the princess's approval and encouragement, radiated an even more captivating charm. With the princess's arrival, even more people surged into the store like a tide. On the first floor, people were immediately drawn to the mysterious magic stone flooring and the specially painted walls. The flooring seemed like a gateway to a mysterious magical world, emanating a faint magical aura; the walls were like pages from a magical storybook, each pattern telling an ancient legend. People curiously wandered through the various product display areas, as if exploring an unknown treasure trove. In the primary agricultural products section, fresh ingredients were neatly arranged. The fresh seeds, seemingly brimming with boundless vitality, emitted a soft glow under special treatment; seafood swam merrily in tanks surrounded by a magical light, as if a magical preservation world had been created for them, preventing their escape; the rustic decorations for poultry and livestock added a touch of warm country charm, instantly conveying the freshness, naturalness, and magical qualities of the products. In the regular rest area, the enticing aromas of snacks, the refreshing drinks, and the wide variety of magazines all drew praise from customers, making it feel less like a shopping mall rest area and more like a cozy and comfortable little home.

Although the VIP and SVIP rooms on the second floor were not yet occupied, visitors were invariably drawn to their exquisite decor, casting envious glances. In the VIP rooms, the carpets were soft and luxurious, the intricate patterns on the tapestries seemed to tell ancient stories, the magical wood furniture radiated a unique, enchanting luster, and the beds with their magical canopies appeared as cradles of comfortable dreams for nobles. In the reception room, the magical jade reception desk emitted a warm glow, and the lifelike murals of magical maidens seemed like spirits waiting to serve their guests, creating a noble and captivating atmosphere throughout the room.

Although the third-floor office area is not open to the public, the clean and tidy environment and modern facilities can be seen through the bright glass. The neatly arranged desks and chairs, and the advanced office equipment, all demonstrate the orderliness and efficiency of the place. The fourth-floor warehouse, while exuding a mysterious atmosphere, also gives the impression that the goods are stored in an orderly manner, as if each item is quietly waiting to be needed in its place.
