Chapter 38

The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another day had gone by.

After Bu Lige and the others left, no other guests visited the store.

Regarding meals...

With Yao Ziyan's arrival and her lack of interest in the human world, Luo Chuan resorted to bringing food back from the hotel outside.

As night fell, the two retired to their respective rooms.

"System, do I still have a lottery to use?" Luo Chuan inquired mentally.

"The host has completed the clerk recruitment task and won a chance to draw from the lottery," the system replied. "Would you like to proceed?"

"Start!"

In an instant, Luo Chuan found himself in the familiar yet strange space.

Observing the invisible lottery roulette in front of him, he instructed it to "spin" mentally.

The roulette spun faster and faster, blurring everything into an indistinct image.

"Stop!"

After a few moments, Luo Chuan commanded.

"I wonder what good things will be drawn this time. Hopefully something different from the usual cola and spicy strips," Luo Chuan mused as the roulette slowed.

Finally, the roulette came to a halt, the pointer landing on a golden section.

"Congratulations to the host for winning instant noodles. The option to purchase instant noodles has been unlocked!"

Back in his room in an instant, Luo Chuan couldn't help but address the system seriously.

"I have to ask, what's going on here?" he questioned.

"Why does the host say that?" the system responded.

Luo Chuan sighed. "Coke, spicy strips, instant noodles... it all feels a bit like a typical Chinese canteen. Is there a reason for this, system?"

After a moment of silence, the system replied, "The lottery roulette is spun and stopped by the host themselves. There's no foul play involved."

Just as Luo Chuan was about to respond, a flood of information inundated his mind.

"This is the probability distribution of various items in the system's lottery. Please review it, host."

Checking the information, Luo Chuan realized there were millions of potential items with minuscule probabilities.

As for why these specific items were drawn...

Was it really just random chance?

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Luo Chuan attempted to remain calm.

After all, as the future strongest shopkeeper, selling cola, spicy strips, and instant noodles shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Suddenly, the system sent another message, seemingly sensing Luo Chuan's mood.

"Increase the training speed tenfold for one hour after consuming instant noodles. Price: 10 Lingjing."

"Additionally, the store has been renovated to include a new hot water machine with vital spring water. Cost per use: 100 Lingjing."

"Note: Instant noodles are only effective after being soaked in the hot water machine."

Impressed by the system's thoroughness, Luo Chuan couldn't help but comment.

"System, you've really thought of everything."

"Thank you for the compliment, host," the system responded.

The following morning, as per routine, Luo Chuan was awakened by his biological clock. After freshening up, he encountered Yao Ziyan emerging from her room in a purple haze.

"Good morning, boss," greeted Yao Ziyan.

Luo Chuan nodded. "Morning."

Thinking it prudent to inform her, Luo Chuan addressed her about the new addition to the store.

"There are new instant noodles available in the store, and there have been some changes. The vending machine charges 100 Lingjing per use."
