Chapter 89: Three Employees Gather

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Yin Shuang pouted, unable to help but shout in pain.

"Who told you to come into the room without making any noise?"

Fu Ya, without a good mood, dissipated the ice attribute Spirit power in her hand. The red and swollen marks on Yin Shuang's arm were alleviated under the ice, leaving only faint red traces. With the nourishment of Spirit power, it wouldn't take long to recover.

Being embraced from behind while being naked, Fu Ya's fear at that moment could be imagined. Under shock and anger, she didn't hold back her strength, and her hand inadvertently cut on Yin Shuang's arm.

"I thought you were still in deep meditation. Of course, I couldn't disturb you." Yin Shuang rubbed her now less painful arm, grumbling.

Fu Ya's gaze softened slightly. "During my deep meditation, you helped a lot in the small shop."

Yin Shuang waved her hand dismissively, curiously looking up and down at Fu Ya. "How was the effect of your deep meditation?"

Previously, deep meditation was something neither of the two girls had considered, so Yin Shuang was naturally very curious.

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Fu Ya's face. "I broke through level 43, and my control over the ice element has improved."

"Great." Yin Shuang envied a bit but quickly grinned. "I have good news to tell you too."

"What?" Fu Ya tilted her head curiously.

"In the future, we can work as waitresses together in the small shop!" Saying this, Yin Shuang pointed to the two brand-new maid outfits placed on the table.

"Huh?" Fu Ya's eyes showed a hint of surprise and joy. Having Yin Shuang accompany her as a waitress would surely be enjoyable. However...

"Did something happen to the small shop?"

Fu Ya was curious why the boss suddenly changed his mind.

At this point, Yin Shuang became enthusiastic, pulling Fu Ya and explaining to her about the new takeout business that Qi Han had recently introduced. As she listened to Yin Shuang's narration, Fu Ya's eyes gradually lit up.

"The boss is really amazing!"

— — — — —

Qi Han walked out of the training space with a disheveled appearance, his face full of frustration.

An entire afternoon, almost ten days of time in the training space, but Qi Han's still life sculpture showed little improvement.

Comparing what he sculpted to the original still life...

It couldn't be said that it didn't resemble anything, but it had no relevance whatsoever.

Does my sculpting knife have a mind of its own?

Subconsciously glancing outside the small shop door, Fu Ya and Yin Shuang, dressed in maid outfits like a pair of sisters, made his eyes brighten involuntarily. Standing beside them was a short-haired girl in a white uniform, the one who had just applied for the job at noon, Ji Yunruo.

Yin Shuang knew Ji Yunruo, so when she saw Ji Yunruo's shy appearance, she couldn't help but approach her for a chat and introduced Fu Ya to her.

For girls, as long as there were common topics between them, their friendships would form quickly. The three of them chatted about the small shop's work and quickly became familiar with each other.

Looking at the beautiful and stylish work uniforms on Yin Shuang and Fu Ya, Ji Yunruo couldn't help but show a hint of envy. She wondered if she could have such work uniforms too.

Seeing the envy in Ji Yunruo's eyes, Fu Ya smiled slightly. "Yunruo, you don't need to worry. The boss will definitely prepare a uniform for you, though it might be a bit different from ours."

‘Ah? Is that so? That's great then’

Ji Yunruo's eyes brightened, nodding suddenly.

Qi Han opened the small shop door and looked at the three of them, a bit surprised.

Has it only been a short time, and Ji Yunruo has already become acquainted with the other two girls?

Seeing Qi Han, Fu Ya walked up, wearing a smile. "Boss, thank you."

Glancing at Fu Ya, Qi Han could clearly feel that Fu Ya was different from before. It should be the effect of deep meditation. He nodded in satisfaction. "It's nothing. You deserve it after working in the small shop for so long."

The three girls entered the small shop together. Qi Han looked at Ji Yunruo in her Tang Sect uniform and smiled. "Yunruo, wait a moment. I'll go get your uniform now."

Hearing this, Fu Ya turned her head and gave Ji Yunruo a look that said, "See, the boss has indeed prepared it."

Ji Yunruo's small face showed a hint of anticipation. Soon, Qi Han went upstairs and brought down a large double-shoulder backpack.

Opening the backpack, he took out two sets of uniforms, a helmet, and two pairs of shoes, handing them to Ji Yunruo.

"There are two sets of uniforms and shoes, which can be changed and washed. The helmet is worn during work, and this backpack is for you to carry the meal boxes."

The two sets of uniforms and shoes were part of the system's four-piece set, and this user-friendly system had fully considered the need for changing and washing.

It's my favorite sky blue color!

Ji Yunruo felt delighted.

Holding the uniforms and shoes somewhat clumsily, she looked at the helmet. With a hint of confusion in her voice, she asked, "Boss, what's the use of wearing this helmet?"

Qi Han suddenly fell silent.

Yeah, that's right. In the past life, this thing was a standard safety helmet for electric bikes, but now, since the four-piece set doesn't include an electric bike, what's the use of the helmet?

After a few seconds of contemplation, Qi Han slowly spoke, "Cosplay?"

Ji Yunruo: "?"

Ying Shuang: "?"

Fu Ya: "?"

‘System, come out! I can't continue this, save me!’

【The helmet has the functions of reducing wind resistance, eye protection, and navigation.】

‘System, what's this about navigation?’

【This helmet is equipped with an intelligent navigation program. Just think of the destination in your mind, and it will automatically plan the best delivery route.】

‘Is this intelligent thing reliable?’

Qi Han couldn't help but recall various "wonderful" experiences of using navigation in his past life.

【Products from this system are top-notch.】

‘Alright, alright. This is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless system. Why are you praising yourself?’

Qi Han sneered, then looked at Ji Yunruo. "After wearing this helmet, you just need to think of the destination, and it will automatically plan the best delivery route for you."

‘Eh?’

Ji Yunruo couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Qi Han actually didn't know how this thing worked, but reluctantly believed the system's reply. He showed a confident smile. "Just try it by putting it on, and you'll know."

Ji Yunruo, with some skepticism, put on the helmet. The size of the interior of the helmet perfectly matched her head circumference, fitting just right.

After contemplating for a while, she quickly thought of an address in her mind.

12 White Tiger Street.

This location was at the home of one of her good friends, quite a distance from the small shop. However, Ji Yunruo often took a discreet shortcut from Tang Sect, which allowed her to reach the destination quickly.

She wanted to see if the helmet was really that amazing.

As Ji Yunruo thought of this address, a holographic screen suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. It displayed a detailed map of Shrek City, with a prominent red line marking the optimal delivery route from her current location to 12 White Tiger Street.

Ji Yunruo couldn't help but widen her eyes. The red line on the map was the shortcut she knew.
