Chapter 8: Acceptance
The bustling streets are lined with shops and stalls. A stack of cries and laughter, the streets accommodate people of different moods, even if the sunset has stretched everyone's shadows, and the night quietly peeps into the world, such a scene never seems to sleep.
"Xiaohua, this way, this way." A delicate girl stood at an open-air stall in the south of the capital to greet her friends.
In the middle of the crowd, a small girl ran to her and said, "This is it, right?" It is famous for its stew. ”。
The delicate girl nodded, pulled her friend to sit down, and said, "Mmmm, don't look at this shop, the taste is a must." Boss, two bowls of stew. ”。
"Okay, wait a minute." The stall owner replied loudly.
"Xiaoqing, I have no money." Xiaohua looked at her pitifully.
Xiaoqing said helplessly: "What the hell are you doing?" There was always no money. ”。
"What, it's hard to make money in this game, I will be poor when I buy a dress." Xiaohua complained dissatisfied, lying on the table and looking at Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's not that you are too good at spending money." ”。
Xiaohua suddenly sat up straight as if she remembered something, and said, "By the way, what about the store opened by the player you went to that day?" Isn't it very profitable? That's great, I want to open a store too! ”。
Xiaoqing slapped her with a smile, and said distressedly: "You're talking about the moonlit night." Well...... How to say it, it's good, the dim sum is delicious, and the boss is good, but it's a pity that I can't appreciate the opera. ”。
"Pear Garden!! …… Damn, in addition to NPCs, I'm afraid that real players don't like it very much, and the style is really high. Xiaohua blinked and looked at Xiaoqing in surprise.
Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Why didn't you come that day?" ”。
At the mention of this, Xiaohua's eyes immediately lit up, and she said excitedly: "My male god had a dance party that day, you don't know, it's so handsome, how can there be someone so good-looking dancing?" ”。
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiaoqing raised her hand and pushed the little flower that was getting closer and closer in front of her.
"Your stew." The boss brought two bowls of stew.
Xiaohua and Xiaoqing stared at the food with golden eyes, and didn't talk about anything else.
"Boss, check out." Someone on the other side of the booth shouted to check out.
The boss said to Xiaohua Xiaoqing: "You use it slowly." With that, he walked towards the other person.
Qiao Jia finished the bill and walked out of the braised restaurant, and the voices of two girls wafted in the distance.
Xiaohua said: "This is delicious. It's still a game! No matter how you eat, you won't get fat. ”。
Xiaoqing: "...... Fat is not, you pay attention to the state, beware of death. ”
Xiaohua: "You ......"
The words that followed gradually became inaudible, and they were all swallowed into the stomach by the bustling street.
Qiao Jia walked and thought about what to do to make Mingyueye's business better. Just like the two girls said just now, the players who come to Bright Moon Night now are just going for dim sum, and there are really few people watching the play.
He didn't have to think for long, and the bright moonlit night had already appeared in front of him. Under the moonlight, the whole small building exudes a glow, called the brilliance of hope.
On a moonlit night, half of the guests were already seated on the first floor, and there was also a small half on the second floor. This is not a good sign, because Qiao Jia knows that this night is afraid that only these people will come.
Qiao Jia summoned Zhao Kai and gave him a few words. No longer staying on the first floor, I went straight to the best private room on the second floor - Rongzhi.
"How's this wine?" Joga sat across from the eaves, rubbing his glass with his hand.
"Okay." Eaves looked at him and replied softly.
"Its name is Yuehua, and it is my signature brew for the bright moon night." Joga poured herself a glass and savored it slowly.
Eaves didn't answer, just accompanied him to watch the play on the stage.
It has been three days since the store opened on the bright moon night, and the eaves will come every night, sitting in the "Rongzhi" to watch the performance on the stage, and taste the moonlight. Qiao Jia would only knock on the door for the past three days, say a few words to him and go out, this was the first time he had sat for so long.
"What's going on?" The eaves maintained the posture of watching the play and drinking, and asked plainly.
Qiao Jia turned his head to look at the eaves, and said in a low voice: "Business is not good." ”。
Eaves put down the wine glass, looked at the wine in the glass, and said: "The wine is good wine, the food is good food, the price is reasonable, and the service is considerate...... It's a little less attractive. ”。
Qiao Jia smiled bitterly: "I know this, you don't have to be so reserved." But isn't that what opera is all about? ”。 In fact, Qiao Jia didn't know much about opera, and at that time he walked around the capital city, except for the pear orchard, there were all the shops he could think of. The troupe given by the system, the performance is naturally good, but most of the people who play the game are young people, and there are not many people who like this.
Eaves stared at the stage and said, "Farewell to my concubine for three days." ”。
"Huh? It's pretty good. Joga didn't seem to react.
"Aesthetic fatigue, a show can be performed for two days in a row at most.".
"Uh-huh, remember.".
"Overlord Yu Ji is a good story, try to combine modern stage performance art with opera, make the stage into a drama form, and enrich the props and costumes. I'll help you sort out the script and plays, what's wrong? After talking for a while, Qiao Jia stared at him motionlessly.
Qiao Jia blinked and said, "It's okay, you continue." ”。
"Find some players to perform, intelligent NPCs can't understand some modern ways of acting.".
"Well, that's what I thought, too. Add some modern rhythms, singing and dancing are very good. ”。
"......" Eaves didn't speak.
Qiao Jia originally thought that this person didn't like to talk, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth and funny.
Rongzhi's door was pushed open, and the little guy stumbled in, panicking, "Ouch, hey...... The boss is not good, someone is coming to provoke, and he can't stop it, knowing that you are here, he is coming directly to this side. ”。
"Hmph, go away." The voice of a little girl.
Hearing this, Qiao Jia looked at the door in surprise. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the small figure of Twilight Pupil to appear in front of him.
"Hitomi-chan, you're here." Joga laughed happily.
Twilight Hitomi looked at Qiao Jia with a smirk, blushed rarely, and said softly, "Uh-huh......."
Joga waved at the servant, motioning for him to leave, and stood up and pulled Twilight Hitomi to sit beside him.
"Hitomi-chan, this is the eaves. Eaves, this is the twilight pupil. Qiao Jia knew that the two had met when they were on a mission, but they didn't know their names at the time.
When Twilight Hitomi heard the name, she jumped up from her seat in surprise and said in disbelief, "Are you really eaves?" The eaves of the second ranking. ”。
Eaves was not in a hurry, and said lightly: "Hmm." ”。
Qiao Jia looked at the two of them with a confused expression and said, "Huh? What a rating list. ”。
Twilight Hitomi looked at Qiao Jia, sat back in his seat, and explained: "In the game, every big city has a Thousand Machines Pavilion, and all kinds of information are sold in the pavilion, the most famous of which is the game leaderboard, and there are only two of them, the rank list and the wealth list, which are updated once a week. ”。
"You said that the eaves are second, how many levels are they?"
“29。”
"Then you are 26, what are the rankings?"
"Fifth."
"Who's the first?"
"The president of the world will be drunk alone."
"The name is quite amorous, how many levels?"
“31。”
“…… The level is quite low. ”
"You know what! It's so hard to find a task now, and it takes a lot of experience to level up, which is already very high. Level 10 people are not qualified to speak about others. ”
“…… I'm eleven. ”
"Eleven is not eligible."
Qiao Jiasheng's level is still built on a bright moon night, and the system rewards it.
Before you know it, at ten o'clock in the evening, today's business is over. The shops on the South Street were closed one after another, and the Qinglou on the North Street was lit up. The guests on the bright moon night all left one after another, and Qiao Jia gathered everyone in the store, plus Eaves and Twilight Hitomi for a meeting.
Qiao Jia smiled gently and said, "You also know that our store is not doing well, so don't hesitate to mention any ideas." ”。
The NPCs looked at each other, not knowing what to say, they already felt that it was good, and the business was okay, and they didn't understand what was wrong.
Neither Eaves nor Twilight Hitomi spoke, sitting at the table, one drinking tea and the other eating snacks.
Qiao Jia looked around and said, "Eaves, little pupils, you are not usually busy, right?" ”。
Eaves: "Hmm. ”。
Twilight: "Of course I'm busy, but I've been able to spare a while lately." ”。
Qiao Jia smiled: "Then now, I formally invite you to join my pear orchard and work hard with me." ”。
As Qiao Jia's words fell, the system prompt immediately appeared in the heads of the three people.
Joga - "Ding, the mission is successfully released, and 10,000 experience is gained." Quest content: Recruit players Eaves and Twilight Hitomi to become a member of Bright Moon Night, and help yourself make Bright Moon Night better. Rewards: 2 gold in 1 month, 12,000 experience".
Eaves, Twilight Hitomi - "Ding, congratulations on getting a new mission." Content: Player Joga invites you to become a member of Bright Moon Night and help him make Bright Moon Night better. Rewards: 2 gold in 1 month, 12000 experience. Acceptable? ”。
Eaves was the first to react and immediately chose to accept.
Twilight Hitomi was surprised for a long time and said, "This, this, this...... Is it the Celestials? It's too open. "The task is not common, so I quickly chose to accept it.
Qiao Jia smiled helplessly: "No, the system will automatically determine that it is not possible to release the task if you want to." ”
Twilight Hitomi nodded and said, "Well, that's right, otherwise the game wouldn't be fair." ”。
"Hehe, now the two of you are a member of my Bright Moon Night, be ready to contribute desperately." Joga stood up and announced.
"Zhao Kai, what position do we have to send people?" Zhao Kai is the head of the pear orchard, and Qiao Jia has handed over these things to him.
Zhao Kai looked at the two newcomers and reported to the boss: "The kitchen is short of a fire, and the wine room is short of a jar washer." ”。
Qiao Jia looked at the two of them with a smile, nodded and said, "Not bad, they are all promising jobs, you can choose for yourself." ”。
Twilight jumped up uncontrollably and said, "I won't do it, so I won't go to the fire to wash the altar." ”。
Joga: "Huh? So what do you want to do? ”。
"I ...... I'm me, I can dance, and I'm dancing great. ”
"Go up and try it."
Twilight walked up the stage and danced a section that she was good at.
To tell the truth, Twilight Hitomi danced very well, but ......, Qiao Jia hesitantly looked at the eaves next to her, and the eaves nodded in affirmation.
Well, if you find a dancer, it should attract a lot of people.
