Eight o'clock approached, the sun poured down warmer and warmer, and the crowd near the snake tower grew stronger and stronger.

The crowd moved like ants, shuttling around the Snake Tower.

But what is strange is that whenever the crowd is about to approach the snake tower, they will run with their heads in horror.

Seeing this situation, I was also a little puzzled.

But when I saw the horror bookstore on the first floor of the Snake Building, I suddenly realized.

In the antique square plaque, the four-character store name engraved with blood red is very shocking.

On both sides of the square plaque, two white lanterns are hung for memorial services, as if the bookstore is showing the white affairs of the dead, which is very unlucky.

Under these two white lanterns, around the sides of the store's door, there is a strange couplet.

Horizontal batch: There are ghosts in the open volume

Shanglian: The ghost reads with me

Downlink: I teach ghosts to read

This couplet alone made the passers-by tremble, how dare they approach the horror bookstore for half a step?

And that's not all, next to this weird and scary couplet, there are two tumbler dolls.

The two tumbler dolls are painted with smiling faces, which are stiff, like the thick lips and big mouths on the clown's face.

It was obviously daytime, and the righteousness was overflowing, but when the breeze blew, the two tumbler puppets swayed, causing a cold breath to blow near the snake tower.

The crowd shuddered and shivered, so they had to look frightened away from the two dolls and away from this eerie bookstore.

"No wonder the crowd didn't dare to approach the Snake Tower, it turned out to be caused by the Horror Bookstore." I shook my head and smiled wryly, and then approached the horror bookstore without knowing whether to live or die.

My action immediately attracted the attention of the passers-by, who stopped and looked different, puzzled, ridiculed, and indifferent, but most of them finally showed stunned expressions.

An uncle in the crowd jumped up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and kindly persuaded: "Good young man, why can't you think about it like this, aren't you afraid that your parents at home will worry?" Get away from this bookstore. ”

This uncle is nearly forty years old, his face is uneven, and he is drooping a lot of fat, and he shakes his head and sighs while being kind to persuade him, and seems to be really worried about me.

"Why stay away from this bookstore? Just because it's scary on the outside? I dare to go to a haunted house, how can I be afraid of this bookstore. I looked up and pretended to be stunned.

This sentence immediately aroused the uncle's desire to speak, and he said mysteriously: "What a horror, this bookstore is simply full of evil ghosts, you look at the name of this store and this couplet, and then look at the white lantern, can it be a serious bookstore, a serious bookstore will put dolls outside the store?" How unlucky. ”

After the uncle finished speaking, I just wanted to interject, but he continued to shake his head and sigh and said: "Young man, I saw that you have a clear bone and kindly reminded you, don't enter this bookstore, don't live up to the uncle's kindness." ”

Then, the young uncle also made a gesture of touching his beard, really thinking that he was a mysterious beggar in "Kung Fu".

It's really a big world, there are no surprises, and of course there are many weirdos.

At this moment, my mind was completely messed up, and I had to throw out a sentence: "I have a reason why I have to go to this bookstore." ”

"What reason?" The uncle was surprised.

"Because I work in this bookstore." I grinned harmlessly.

The uncle's face froze instantly, and he turned around and fled in horror, taking me for a monster.

"Hey, don't go, the bookstore is open for a big deal, don't miss it when you pass by, buy a book and get a book for free, uncle, come and patronize it!" Looking at the back of my uncle fleeing, I tore my throat open and shouted.

When I shouted, not only the uncle, but also the surrounding crowd scattered one after another, taking me for a fool.

"Haha, a bunch of cowards." I ignored it, whistled as I walked to the bookstore and pressed my index finger to the fingerprint door lock.

"The fingerprint is correct, the fingerprint has been matched, the owner of the fingerprint is Liang Fan, please push the door into the store."

The fingerprint door lock was opened, and I gently pushed the glass door open.

As I pushed the door open, I looked at the time and saw that it was exactly eight o'clock, just in time for the opening time required by the code.

"It's so dangerous, I'm almost going to be punished, I remember the punishment for delaying the opening of the store, but it directly wiped out my life." Thinking of this, my face was covered in cold sweat.

As the glass door was pushed open, the crisp sound of purple wind chimes on the door sounded, and because of the precautions in my heart, I was not frightened by the wind chimes this time.

I slowly pulled the door to a halt, letting the wind chimes fade away.

But as soon as the wind chimes disappeared, I felt a scorching heat coming from behind me.

I quickly closed the glass door and strode to the miniature bar and sat down on the bench next to it.

Once seated, I took the cloth and light bulb out of my black backpack.

Once I had them on the bar, I pulled back into the box in the middle of my bag.

The scorching heat just now is what this code emanates.

However, the rules only heated, not ignited, and I flipped to the table of contents with my own hands.

Two new lines of blood-colored small characters appeared in front of me.

"Congratulations to you (Liang Fan, the tenth bookstore administrator of the horror bookstore), you have successfully opened the store on time, please stick to the store in the next 12 hours to attract more customers for the horror bookstore."

"The Horror Bookstore has already opened, and the Turnover chapter is automatically unlocked, please turn to the corresponding page to view."

Then, the catalogue was ghostly and emitted an incomparably empty laugh.

桀、桀、桀桀、

When the empty laughter disappeared, the picture on the table of contents changed, and it changed from the original nine chapters to ten chapters.

In other words, after the final chapter of the Foreign Objects Illustrated Book, there is an additional chapter called turnover.

"Turnover chapter?" With my doubts in mind, I immediately touched the new chapter with the tip of my pen.

As the nib of the pen falls, a small piece of print emerges.

"Turnover: Horror Bookstore Sales, in the Turnover section, you can check the total turnover of Horror Bookstore, please turn to the corresponding page to view (corresponding page 245)"

What is the corresponding number of pages in the chapter on turnover: 245? Isn't the code 244 pages in total, and as the table of contents chapters increases, so does the total number of pages in the code? It's weird. "I just turned the code upside down and turned the last page.

Sure enough, the last page of the code became 245 pages.

Page 245, which is exactly the corresponding number of pages in the Turnover section.

I frowned and looked at the page, only to see the top of the page, engraved with the three blood-red characters "Turnover".

And under these three blood-red characters, there are a few lines of small black characters deservedly.

Strangely, these few lines of small black letters are constantly flashing, dazzling.

"Horror Bookstore Turnover: 0 (Turnover is too low, please try to increase revenue for Horror Bookstore)"

"When a certain turnover is reached, the horror bookstore will get the opportunity to expand, so please work hard."

"When a certain turnover is reached, the bookstore manager will receive a variable number of ghost eyes, and the higher the turnover achieved, the more ghost eyes will be obtained."

"Ghost Eyes: As the name suggests, they are the eyes of ghosts, and although they are full of resentment, they are the best material to strengthen their natural skills."

"When you reach a certain turnover, you can get the opportunity to expand your bookstore? In other words, this horror bookstore can be expanded? It's too good, isn't it? I touched my sideburns and figured out what these few lines meant: "How else can the horror bookstore be expanded, now that it occupies the first floor of the Snake Building, does it have to expand to the upper floor?" But I have already rented room 401 on the fourth floor to Gu Ya, which is a trouble for future expansion. ”

But soon, I felt like I was overly worried: "No one cares about such a weird horror bookstore, and since no one is patronizing it, how can you save enough turnover?" Let's think less about expansion. ”

"What is this ghost eye?,It says that this is the eye of a ghost.,Just hearing the name, I feel infiltrated.,But infiltrating people are infiltrating people.,This is a good thing.,It can strengthen natural skills.。 Although I don't know what a talent skill is, I know it's extremely mysterious when I hear it, and the ghost eye can actually strengthen the talent skill, which must be a rare good thing.

"But if you want to get the Ghost Eye, you also need to reach a certain turnover, so where can I find it? The rewards are good, but they're too hard to obtain. After reading these few lines of small black print, I continued to look at the rest of the page, but the rest of the page was empty, and there was no extra text at all.

"That's it? It's too general, and I don't write down how much turnover I need to get the opportunity to expand the bookstore, as well as the ghost eye that strengthens my natural skills. I was a little speechless about this setting: "How do I know the current turnover of the bookstore and whether it meets the requirements for receiving rewards?" Is it all about the mood of the code to issue turnover rewards? ”

After complaining, I closed the rules and digested the new information: "It seems that the turnover of the bookstore is also very important, but due to the problem of customer sources, I estimate that it will be difficult to obtain the above rewards." ”

"But it's hard to return, and you need to increase your turnover as much as possible, and you can't be discouraged from doing nothing." After a few rounds of cheering myself up, I put the rules back in my bag.

Once I put the rules back in my bag, I put this black backpack on my back.

Even though the backpack is weird in the store, I had to be a strange person to keep the rules around.

What do you do with other people's gossip, go your own way, and do your best.

Then, sitting on the bench, I waited for the first customer of the bookstore.

But I waited left and right, and waited for about an hour, and I didn't wait for the so-called first guest.

I was a little discouraged and simply put my head on the bar.

Dejected, I looked at the empty mini-bar and miniature milk tea shop, and suddenly thought: "Although I can't take the recruitment tasks of those three excellent categories today, I still have to recruit employees, after all, I can't do so much work alone, and I can't mix bartending, let alone make milk tea and chicken steak." ”

After making a decision, I held my breath and swept away the decadence on my face.

It took me about 20 minutes to draft three job postings.
