Chapter 5 Paper money used by the dead
Li Mu really didn't expect that a simple task of staying in the dark without closing his eyes would bring him such great fear and confusion.
The feeling of melancholy that I can't live forever and the pain of jumping down from the building and falling to death are absolutely immersed in the scene, empathizing with me, so real that I can't find any flaws.
A hot milk tea cup with his right hand and a black computer bag slung on his left wrist.
Subway, black computer bag, hot milk tea...
Why did I seem to have become that bald man?
"Calm down! Be calm! The reason why darkness makes people scary is because they can't see and touch their hands, and then more and more random thoughts appear that scare themselves. Time should be coming, and I must stick to it!" Li Mu clenched his fists, his palms couldn't help but sweat, standing there motionless, trying his best to cheer himself up and not think about it.
Shaking!
Shaking!
Suddenly, a sharp sound of iron chains dragging on the ground, rubbing against the ground, making people feel a splitting headache.
Li Mu didn't know why, but when he heard such a sound, his eyes were so frightened that his eyes were about to protrude. The milk tea cup in his right hand almost fell to the ground, and his body involuntarily fled from the milk tea shop and ran towards the endless darkness.
In a trance, he turned around.
Seeing another "he" in the milk tea shop, he continued to bury his head on his mobile phone and browse his WeChat Moments, and a cold subway chain appeared next to the shop.
bite!
The phone rang, and in an instant, Li Mu found that everything in front of him had returned to the darkness again. He seemed to have returned from another world to the dark storage room.
Bang!
He kicked open the door of the storage room and breathed in big mouthfuls. The immersive feeling of death just now almost made Li Mu's heart jump to the explosion, as if he was really dead.
"Elementary tasks are so real that they are scary. I really don't know what will happen if you choose intermediate and advanced tasks later... By the way, isn't it said that there will be rewards for completing tasks?"
Li Mu took a deep breath and took out the phone in his pocket. Seeing that the "SS" icon had popped up automatically, the blood-red font appeared: Your good luck allowed you to complete the first primary task, and the reward you received was - to sell ten cups of milk tea.
Sell ten cups of milk tea?
How to sell?
It seems that within half a year, ten cups of milk tea have been sold any day.
"Boss, give me ten cups of milk tea, five cups of pearls, and five cups of pudding." A young girl in her twenties, wearing a ponytail that is rare now, hurriedly walked up to Li Mu and said.
"Ah? Is this the way to reward?" Li Mu asked subconsciously stared at the SS icon.
"What did you say?" the young girl frowned and asked.
"Oh, nothing, start making it right away, wait!" Li Mu thought with shock while making milk tea.
It seems that the software with the SS icon has really been bound to his life. If you complete the tasks distributed by the software every day, you can get corresponding rewards in reality, which means that this software can affect the real world.
Of course, if the task is not completed, it should be punished.
However, a simple task brought such a great shock and heartbeat was something Li Mu did not expect, and it also made him know that he could not underestimate the tasks posted in the future.
Ten cups of milk tea were quickly prepared. After paying the money, the young girl left with ten cups of milk tea in a large plastic bag.
Li Mu opened the cash counter and prepared to put the cash paid by the young girl in it.
Who knows.
The moment he opened the cash counter, his face became bad in an instant.
Because in the money cabinet, I don’t know when there were two more eye-catching coins, which were the kind of paper money used by dead people.
Staring at the two ghost coins, the thoughts in my head quickly rotated.
Apart from the young girl just now, only the bald man came to buy milk tea.
The money given by the young girl is still in her hands. Could it be the underworld money given by the bald man?
But he clearly remembered that the fifteen yuan given by the bald man was RMB, how could it become a ghost currency?
The underworld money is money for the dead. Is the bald man really dead?
But at that time, the bald man standing in front of him was obviously a living person and was still chatting with him.
Could it be that someone deliberately made a prank when he was doing a task in the storage room just now?
I heard that many shops have not paid rents recently, so the square administrators have done all kinds of things to drive them away.
"Well, it should be the trick of the square administrator. I want to force me to pay the rent or move out!" Li Mu chose to use this reason to convince himself.
Because I really can't figure out why two ghost coins appear in the money cabinet.
Later, until eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Mu did not sell another cup of milk tea. The business was really fucked.
However, there are ten cups of milk tea that are rewarded for tasks, plus the three cups sold by Zhang Xiaojuan during the day, which has a total turnover of 195 yuan, breaking the daily sales record for more than half a year.
The rent for a milk tea shop is 4,000 yuan per month, the minimum water, electricity and gas is 700 yuan, and Zhang Xiaojuan’s salary is 3,000 yuan per month, which is equivalent to the fixed monthly expenses of a milk tea shop of 7,700 yuan. In addition to Li Mu’s own living expenses and tuition fees, if the daily sales record of a milk tea shop cannot go up to 300 yuan, it will be unsustainable.
Today's turnover of 195 yuan is still 105 yuan away from the basic standard of 300 yuan. It seems that you must do more tasks and get rewards.
When Li Mu packed up the countertop for making milk tea and was about to turn off the milk tea shop and return to school, he received a call from Pan Yang.
"Hey, Brother Mu, you're getting off work?" Pan Yang's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Well, the store is closing. Do you want me to bring the skewers back to eat?" Li Mu asked.
"No, come directly to the Hibiki KTV next to the school. We are still singing." Pan Yang said.
"Singing? Haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?" Li Mu was a little surprised. It was so late that none of these four guys were in the dormitory.
"Why are you going back to the dormitory? We are singing with three freshmen. Come on." Pan Yang's humble and small voice came, as if he had walked into the bathroom.
"You guys are so awesome! You just met a girl who can sing and not go back to school. She is quite capable. However, I still don't come anymore. I'm too sleepy and want to go back to the dormitory to sleep." Li Mu was tossed by various strange events for a day, and his body and mind were indeed a little tired.
"Brother Mu, I saw my sister-in-law singing here just now." Pan Yang said with a smirk.
"Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law?" Li Mu asked in confusion.
"Who else can you have? Our sister-in-law Zhou Lingling." Pan Yang said with a teasing smile.
"Is she here too? Then send me the private room number to WeChat." Li Mu hung up the phone, packed up the things on the bar, pulled down the roller shutter door of the milk tea shop and locked it, and walked quickly to the subway entrance not far away.
