14 Chapter 14 Is this Still a Werewolf Village?_1

"Do you have any other classmates or alumni you could recommend? I promise they would be well compensated!" Mu You asked, still hopeful.

"Erm... I'll try my best..."

Zhao Qian didn't have the heart to turn him down outright, so she simply waved him off and left after those words.

"What a shame..."

Mu You also knew that his chances were slim. It was rather unrealistic to expect graduates from prestigious universities like Zhao Qian to lower their status and work in a pet shop.

"We can think about this later..."

He decided to put this topic aside for now.

Mu You returned to the store and helped Little Ya serve the remaining customers.

They were busy until the afternoon when they finally sent the last customer away. The two then slumped before the front desk computer and began to tally up the day's takings.

Throughout the day, they had sold a total of twelve hamsters, seven chinchillas, five rabbits, three money turtles, six canaries, and five koi fish.

Additionally, many other pets had been marked for reservation by customers and were waiting to be sold.

Then there were also various pet supplies and food that customers had purchased while buying their pets.

After tallying everything, they found that the total revenue for the day had reached a whopping fifteen thousand. Even after deducting costs, the net profit exceeded eight thousand!

"Boss, our turnover today almost exceeds that of the past month!" Little Ya exclaimed, her eyes thin slits of joy, and a grin almost tearing her face apart.

"Don't get too excited. This is only the first day. We need to find ways to retain these customers and make them regulars, which is the most important task."

Mu You took a deep breath. The explosive sales today were mainly due to the viral video he had posted.

However, hitting such viral milestones is a rare event.

It was already quite incredible that they could achieve it once; they would still need to rely on the quality of their own store to retain customers in the future.

With business complete for the day, Mu You transferred a bonus of five hundred to Little Ya as a reward for her hard work.

"Thank you, boss!"

Standing at the store entrance, Mu You watched Little Ya bounce away. He took out a cigarette and silently reflected on all the events that had unfolded since the previous night.

Actually, after obtaining the Time Pocket Watch, making money had become an easy task for him. He didn't need to go through the trouble of training pets and managing the store every day. He could easily obtain the money he needed by visiting casinos abroad.

However, Mu You had never considered this method. The reason was simple: such an unconventional way of making money could easily expose him!

On Earth, he was not the only player. Among all the players, he was merely a rookie who had just started playing the game. If other players detected his identity, then...

In any case, as long as the situation did not involve a pressing need for money, it would be wiser to continue running the shop as usual.

"Let's take things one step at a time..."

After finishing his cigarette, Mu You crushed the stub and tossed it casually into the nearby trash can, before turning to head back into the shop.

He still remembered that he had one unused action point left in the game.

Closing the shop door behind him, he took out his phone and launched the Fool.

In the game, he had just obtained a brand new job and his own house. Feeling triumphant, Mu You was eager to guide his character out of the house to embark on an adventure.

[You open the door and walk out of the watchman's cabin, continuing to explore deeper into the village.]

[It is already dark outside, the road ahead is shrouded in darkness. You have no choice but to light your pumpkin lantern to guide your way.]

[The light from the pumpkin lantern stands out especially brightly on the dusky path.]

[You walked a certain distance, and just when you were about to reach the intersection ahead, you suddenly noticed a werewolf crouching near the bushes.]

[The werewolf has noticed you. It lunges at you!]

[You've been killed by the werewolf!]

[You died. Lifespan -1, remaining lifespan 54 years.]

Damn it, he died again!

Mu You had thought that once he entered the village, there would be no more scenarios where he would be killed by small animals without warning. But the game immediately surprised him.

And what the hell was a werewolf?

Mu You read the text several times to confirm that it was a werewolf, not a wild wolf.

Which meant that this damn village was a werewolf-infested one?!

The sudden appearance of this new creature disrupted Mu You's plans: this village was indeed not safe!

With his character dead, Mu You was planning to press on the Pocket Watch to rewind time, but he discovered that the game did not immediately end.

Following the death of his in-game character and his return home, there was a new line of text that popped up on the screen.

[After the agony of death, you resurrect in the basement of the wooden hut.]

[Just as you were about to get up, you felt something on the ground. It's a dust-covered book.]

[You picked it up and found that it was the Watchman Notes left behind by the previous watchman. The notes recorded what he saw and heard on his nightly rounds. Unfortunately, the notes were written in Star Spirit Language. To understand the text, you need to learn Star Spirit Language.]

[Perhaps you can go to the Owl, the store owner, and buy a "Star Spirit Dictionary" to learn the Star Spirit Language.]

Watchman Notes?

Mu You paused. It seemed that scripted the death and reincarnation in the game specifically to trigger a new event to give him a notebook.

Given its name, it was likely a diary written by the watchman, recording what he experienced during his nightly patrols. If he could translate all of it, he could glean a lot about the Star Spirit World.

However, to understand the diary, he needed to purchase a dictionary from the merchant to learn the world's language.

"That's a problem for later..."

Whether it was the werewolf or the Star Spirit Dictionary, they were problems that Mu You didn't need to consider now.

He was exhausted from the day's work and it was only six in the afternoon. With the six-hour offline penalty approaching, he had nothing to do for the rest of the day. Since he had to stay up late to complete the 'watchman task', Mu You decided to go back to his room and take a nap.

At 11:30 PM, the alarm clock woke Mu You.

Dragging his famished body downstairs to find food.

After dealing with dinner and taking a bath, he checked the time again. It was already 11:55 PM.

"Time for the task!"

As midnight approached and most people in the city were fast asleep, Mu You prepared to go out and get ready for the task, full of energy.

Excited about the first time heading out in the middle of the night to complete the watchman task, he felt a bit thrilled!

Of course, Mu You didn't walk out the front door in a showy manner to avoid exposure. He ran to the pet washing room on the first floor and climbed out the window of the washing booth.

Having grown up in a pet shop, he was quite familiar with the area and knew where the blind spots of the surveillance cameras were. No one knew this better than him.

Mu You travelled along the blind spots of the surveillance cameras until he reached a deserted alley a couple of blocks away.

Hiding in the darkness, he applies makeup to his face to switch into the 'watchman' mode.

Seeing the maroon outfit covering his body, Mu You then lit the pumpkin lantern and exited the alley, ready for his task.
