“Gongzi Xiao, are you here to apply for this position too?” The Jiuhua City Shop was livelier than the Half City Shop since the latter had already hired the employees.

“Hahaha! Yeah! Yeah!” Xiao Yulv cupped his hands and said, “I excel in every game from Resident Evil, to Counter Strike, to Devil May Cry, to getting treasures in the Legend of Mir 2; I even know all the combos in the King of Fighters and how to play Fighting the Landlord.”

He patted his chest in confidence and said, “I just don’t believe… Auch!”

“Aunt, why are you pulling my ear?!” Before he could finish, he screamed again.

“What are you doing here?”

“To apply for the position!” Xiao Yulv waved his folding fan while pointing at the small blackboard. “I am perfect for this position, right?”

Fenghua said in surprise, “Weren’t you put on the blacklist by the owner?”

Xiao Yulv’s face twitched. “Who… who said that I can’t become a shop clerk just because the shop doesn’t serve me? Can’t I serve myself?!”

Su Tianji: “…”

Fenghua: “…”

Yuexin: “…”

His argument seemed indisputable.

The problem was…

The three of them looked at Xiao Yulv as if he were an idiot, wondering if he thought that Mr. Fang was a fool.

“Next!” At this moment, Xiao Yulv heard Mr. Fang’s yell.

“Hehe! It’s my turn!” Xiao Yulv scrambled to stand before Mr. Fang.

“Mr. Fang.” Xiao Yulv rubbed his hands with a fawning expression. “What do you think of me?”

Mr. Fang’s face turned dark. “What do you mean?”

He leaned over and beckoned at the next person in line before glancing at Xiao Yulv. “I didn’t call you up. As someone on my shop’s blacklist, you want to become a shop clerk here? Next! Next!”

“Wait!” Xiao Yulv yelled, “Please give me a chance…”

Mr. Fang rolled his eyes. “How can I give you a chance?”

After all, it’s the System who made the rules instead of me. If Mr. Fang made them, he might be able to change the rules and help this young man.

He asked the System while on the topic, “Is there any way that I can remove the customers from the blacklist?”

The System Interface showed, [Host, you don’t have this privilege yet. Please work hard to level up your privileges.]

Mr. Fang asked, “When will I have enough privileges?”

The System Interface displayed a textbox, [Please explore it by yourself.]

Mr. Fang looked embarrassed. “Then, can I employ people on the blacklist as shop clerks?”

The System Interface: [The people on the blacklist don’t get paid and can’t be served.]

Mr. Fang scratched his head. “But this job is serving others.”

The System was silent for a while before saying, [Okay.]

Mr. Fang’s lips twitched, and he gave Xiao Yulv a long look. “What… specialties do you have?”

“I’ve watched videos on the clearing of all stages for every game, and I know everything about games including the procedures, combos, and routines. Also, I did an in-depth analysis of the ingredients of all kinds of snacks…”

Hearing Xiao Yulv’s long speech, Su Tianji was even stunned. “Mr. Fang, can’t you give this kid a chance?”

Mr. Fang patted Xiao Yulv on the shoulder and gave a long speech as well. “The shop won’t be responsible for your residence, snack, and pay. You can’t play games when you work, must clean up the shop before you go, can’t make any mistakes when taking in money, and can’t be fooled when other people on the blacklist try to sneak in…”

Several minutes later, Mr. Fang finished speaking and took a drink of water.

“I still can’t play games?!”

“Do you want the job or not?”

“Ahh!?” he yelled at the top of his lungs.

“Depending on my mood, I will decide when you will be removed from the blacklist,” Mr. Fang added.

“I do!”

From now on, the despicable capitalist Mr. Fang found another target to exploit.

On the side, Su Tianji looked pleased, and she said encouragingly, “Work hard!”

With tears on his face, Xiao Yulv said, “Okay!”

Fenghua: “Congratulations, Junior Brother Xiao.”

“Thank you!”

Su Tianji comforted him, “You’re fortunate that you can observe and learn from the Senior!”

He nodded with force. “Right!”

“Good. Go and prepare a bowl of instant noodles for me.”

Xiao Yulv: “…”

She was indeed his blood-related aunt; she didn’t go easy on him and instantly asked him to do work for her.

Since Jiang Xiaoyue would soon set off for the Spiritual State, so the shop needed another clerk. Mr. Fang read the application forms of the candidates one by one.

“Zou Long…”

“Wang Xiang…”

“Yu Zhiwei, born in a home of scholars and can write poems and draw. Familiar with the plots of games including Resident Evil, Diablo, and the Legend of the Sword and Fairy…”

“This name is familiar…” Mr. Fang thought for a while and then slammed his hand on the desk. “She is the owner of the bookstore that is selling my official Diablo novels!”

It seems that we have some good candidates with talent this time… Mr. Fang scratched his head and made the decision. “It’s overkill for her to manage a bookstore; it’s better for her to work in the internet café…

“Now that we have enough employees, it’s time to upgrade the shops.”

…

Origins Internet Club had altogether two shop fronts in Jiuhua City with more than 1,000 computers in each shop. There was a total of 3,600 computers in Jiuhua City. With this expansion, the computers were enough for not only customers of Dajin but the elite disciples from the nearby forces as well.

The Half City Shop was separated into two floors, and only spatial expansion technology was used; the space-folding technology wasn’t used this time.

After entering the shops, people would think that they had entered another world.

Both shops have a big area set aside for big guilds. The whole place was paved with wooden floors and had wide corridors. The posters of Dante, Li Xiaoyao, and the Liquor Sword Immortal were placed on the walls in the game zone. In the movie and TV series zone, the posters had characters such as Xuan Tianzong and Zhang Xiaofan on them.

There were also some smaller zones for customers to experience robotic civilization and magic civilization. With the robotic style corridors and walls that seemed to contain flowing flames, one could get different experiences in one shop.

Of course, it didn’t mean that the customers could only do one thing in a certain zone. However, when they had the choice, most of the customers would gather in the zone that fitted their tastes.

The corridors were lined with pots of rare and exotic plants where their deep-green leaves emitted faint fragrances, keeping the air inside fresh all the time.

The lounge area was more spacious. After their computer time was up, the disciples and elders from different major factions and forces would gather here to talk about things like spiritual spells, combat techniques, game experiences, and how to kill bosses.

By now, the new employees had come to their posts.

The whole Origin Internet Club got a brand-new look.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Yu Zhiwei.” She was a serene and graceful woman in plain clothes.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Xiao Yulv.” As usual, Gongzi Xiao waved his folding fan, presenting a dashing figure before the customers.

“Tomorrow is the last day before the new year,” the Royal Princess asked, “Gongzi Xiao, what do you think of the cosplay event? What’s your plan?”
