"Hmm? What is it?" System Xiao Qi asked in a childlike voice.
"It's really difficult to open a shop in this ancient apocalypse.
Firstly, the emperor here is not in charge, and everything is in a state of disarray. There are no so-called bases.
Secondly, travel is difficult. There are no cars, and you can only run from zombies on foot. Information spreads too slowly.
Thirdly, my fast-food restaurant is on a main road, similar to a modern highway, far from any settlement. Unlike modern apocalypse shops in city centers.
With these three points, it's really hard to let people know that there's a fast-food restaurant here!
I have a premonition that after this batch of customers leaves, it will be hard to get any more. And even if some people come, there won't be many."
"Hmm... Host, your analysis is correct. This is indeed a big problem! If it's like this, we won't earn many points! And the common people will probably starve to death sooner or later. How about... Host goes out for a walk and attracts some customers?" System Xiao Qi suggested hesitantly in a childlike voice.
"Ah? I have to go myself? I don't know the way! And my current strength is only that of a Level 1 ability user.
Although I'm invincible in the fast-food restaurant, I'm not outside the protective circle! Unless you give me more authority and make me invincible outside the protective shield."
System Xiao Qi nodded. "That's right, Host, your analysis is correct. The difficulty of opening a shop in the ancient apocalypse is indeed too great. If we don't attract customers, absolutely no one will know about the fast-food restaurant. Xiao Qi will go and apply to the higher-ups. Even if I have to fight for it, Xiao Qi will get a wave of benefits for the Host."
Luo Yunshi felt a warmth in her heart. "Okay, go quickly! Otherwise, not many people will survive in this ancient world, and it will be over sooner or later."
Two minutes later.
"Ding! World Map, Protective Shield Mode, and Teleportation Ability have been activated. Consolation benefit: A Golden Bell Shield Cloud Aircraft." System Xiao Qi's prompt sounded.
"Whoa, that fast?" Luo Yunshi was surprised.
"Haha, yes! They probably knew that we had too much difficulty. Xiao Qi analyzed it thoroughly with the higher-ups, and they agreed. And time is of the essence, so they probably want the Host to attract customers as soon as possible!" System Xiao Qi analyzed.
Luo Yunshi looked at the map in her mind, and her eyes lit up.
"Wow! This map can be zoomed in like this!"
This was a very detailed map, and you could zoom in on any area you wanted. It could zoom in to see a tree on the map.
"Awesome! I understand the protective shield; no one should be able to harm me. But what does the teleportation ability mean?" Luo Yunshi continued to ask in her mind.
"Host, the protective shield's function is not only effective for the Host but also for the employees in the shop.
The teleportation ability means that every place the Host has walked will form a teleportation point. Not only can the Host return to the fast-food restaurant with a single thought, but they can also teleport back and forth to places they have visited."
"Hmm, not bad. This way, I can also bring employees to attract customers, and it greatly reduces the time I spend on the road."
Luo Yunshi was satisfied and continued to ask, "What about the Golden Bell Shield Cloud Aircraft?"
"Once the Host receives it, you can see the user manual. Hehe, this is something Xiao Qi insisted on getting from the higher-ups." System Xiao Qi patted its round belly and said proudly.
"Haha, really? Thank you, my little Xiao Qi!" Luo Yunshi was excited in her heart.
However, after reading the aircraft's introduction, she became even more excited.
Golden Bell Shield Cloud Aircraft: Cloud-shaped, can carry two people. The Golden Bell Shield can withstand all attacks. The aircraft's maximum speed can reach 500 kilometers per hour. Operating the aircraft relies entirely on the pilot's thoughts.
"Oh my god! This is amazing! I love you, Xiao Qi. With this aircraft, it will be even more convenient for me to promote the location of the fast-food restaurant!" Luo Yunshi said excitedly in her mind.
System Xiao Qi patted its little belly and smiled proudly. "Hehe, then Host, go and attract customers as soon as possible!"
"Not yet. It's getting dark. I still need to recruit two employees from modern and ancient times," Luo Yunshi said with a smile in her mind.
The others saw Luo Yunshi frown in thought, then smile, and were filled with doubt.
As soon as Luo Yunshi finished chatting with System Xiao Qi, she noticed Shangguan Wen and the others looking at her. She coughed lightly.
"I'm happy because I've thought of a solution."
"Oh? Miss Wang has a solution?" Shangguan Wen and the others' eyes lit up, and they eagerly inquired.
"Yes." Luo Yunshi nodded. "I'll tell you all when they get back."
"Okay!"
Time quickly passed to five in the afternoon, the closing time of the fast-food restaurant. However, thinking of the people in front of her, Luo Yunshi ultimately did not close the door.
Seeing that there were no customers in the modern fast-food restaurant, Luo Yunshi closed the shop door directly with her mind, letting Shen Yilan go to eat and rest first. She went to the second-floor supermarket to get some bread, chicken legs, and instant noodles.
Suddenly, Luo Yunshi's eyes lit up, and she quickly communicated with System Xiao Qi. "Xiao Qi, my points, if I remember correctly, can be used freely, right?"
"Yes, they can!" System Xiao Qi nodded.
"Then I know. I can use my points to buy them something to eat first! And then I'll ask them to repay me."
"Uh... this is actually possible, but aren't you afraid they won't be able to repay you?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I never intended for them to repay me. I just didn't want them to feel burdened or refuse. And I'm not going to lend out all my points.
Back in modern times, I occasionally donated blood and donated to poor mountainous areas. When I transmigrated to the modern apocalypse, they had already stabilized. Apart from running the shop normally, there was nothing else I could do.
But this ancient apocalypse is different. And they are from a family of military commanders, doing work to protect the country. I admire such people and want to do my part to help them. It can also be considered accumulating merit for myself.
By the way, Xiao Qi, didn't you choose me because my merit value was high? It shows that doing good deeds within my ability is still necessary.
Also! I have a feeling. Whether this ancient apocalypse can get better is closely related to this family." Luo Yunshi said in her mind to Xiao Qi.
"Yes, Host is correct. Merit value is indeed very important. People with high merit value are more successful in their endeavors and are more favored by the Heavenly Dao.
Especially for cultivators, merit is essential. The heavenly tribulations during ascension will be lighter than others. Opening shops in various apocalypses is also a way to increase merit." System Xiao Qi smiled and nodded.
