Chapter 68

Opening his eyes, the glaring sunlight shone in through the glass window.

It was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

Xie Yaoyao hurriedly climbed up, washed up simply, and hurried downstairs.

Opening the shop door amidst the complaints of the cats and dogs, scooping poop, feeding, watering, and cleaning up, after finally getting everything done, Xie Yaoyao thought about whether he should hire an employee while playing with the little ones.

As the time in the Fairytale World grew longer, the missions became more and more complex, and he might have more situations where he couldn't return to the real world in time in the future.

And the little ones in the shop needed regular care, otherwise, they were prone to illness and other conditions.

The shop door also had to be opened on time; could it be that he was really going to sell gold coins on the 'Dark Fairytale' website? And he didn't know if it was safe?

No, no, no!

Xie Yaoyao hurriedly shook his head to shake out the thought that had suddenly appeared.

Thinking it over, Xie Yaoyao felt he still needed to recruit a shop assistant, otherwise his shop would sooner or later be ruined by himself.

If he wanted to do it, he would do it; Xie Yaoyao had a printer himself.

"Clap!"

An A4 paper with the four big characters 'Recruiting Shop Assistant' was stuck on the pet shop's glass door.

On the ground, Orange was very dissatisfied and meowed at Xie Yaoyao; this piece of paper happened to block his old man's sun.

"Meow! Annoying!"

"Hey, you little thing, all you know is eat and sleep, sleep and eat. Look at how fat you are now, if anyone else comes to look at cats, they won't even want you!"

"Look at Huixing, Dou Dou, and Spark, how lively they are; when customers come, they know how to interact, only you are lazy!"

"Meow! They are dogs! I am a cat! Meow!"

"So what if you're a cat! Cats should eat and sleep, sleep and eat, look at you..."

"What are you doing!"

Xie Yaoyao was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared behind him.

Is it true that a Druid's vigilance will decrease in the city?

Turning around, it turned out to be Nie Yingying.

Oh, that's fine then! This person is an assassin, she doesn't make a sound when she walks!

Nie Yingying was looking at Xie Yaoyao, who was arguing with the orange cat, with a strange expression.

It's said online that there's a lot of pressure recently and people's mental states are unstable; this must be what they're talking about!

"Ahahaha! Nothing, nothing! You're here, come in, come in, I just happen to have something to discuss with you!"

Xie Yaoyao gave a dry laugh to ease the awkwardness, then led Nie Yingying into the shop, kicking Orange to the side as he passed.

The orange cat didn't care, just meowed softly in protest, not even willing to lift its head.

"You want to recruit a shop assistant?"

Nie Yingying took the tea Xie Yaoyao poured and asked casually.

"Can't handle it alone? Is business very good?"

"Not really, business is average, just enough to maintain life. But, you know, there have been problems with time management recently."

Nie Yingying immediately understood; it was very normal for a Traveler's time to be irregular.

This indeed had a great impact on a normally operating shop, not to mention the whole house full of little ones that needed care.

Speaking of which, she actually liked small animals very much... Hmm?!

Nie Yingying picked up the tea and took a small sip, looking very relaxed and casual.

"If you have too much contact with ordinary people, there will be a risk of exposing your identity, right!"

Scratching his head, Xie Yaoyao said distressingly.

"Yes, I'm also a bit worried! But there's no way around it, look at this mess! Can only be extra careful."

Reaching out his finger to stroke Helai'er's feathers, Xie Yaoyao felt a bit helpless.

"I plan not to bring Helai'er and Lilisi back to the real world in the future; they are the biggest flaws!"

Nie Yingying looked at the crow on Xie Yaoyao's shoulder and blinked her long, slender phoenix eyes.

"Still not very appropriate! How about this, if you trust me, I can come to your shop to help every day, we just need to stagger our time a little bit."

Xie Yaoyao's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

"Of course I trust you, you're the one I trust the most. But, I... you... how can this work!"

Nie Yingying didn't act coy at all, picking up Douding at her feet and gently stroking it.

"You saved me before, and we still have to do missions together later, so it's just right to discuss plans and countermeasures together."

Xie Yaoyao thought about it and it made sense, so he walked to the door and tore off the 'Recruiting Shop Assistant' sign he had just put up.

"Alright then, I guess you won't stay here for long, so I'll rely on your help for now, and I'll think of a way when you leave. No salary, no accommodation, three meals a day included."

Nie Yingying kissed Douding's little head and said with a smile.

"If it weren't for this full emotional value, you really wouldn't be able to recruit anyone with these conditions."

Nie Yingying naturally wasn't short of money; in fact, all Travelers wouldn't be short of money.

Let's just say, gold coins in the Fairytale World were much more valuable than Bitcoin in the real world.

"Alright, it's getting a bit late, I'll order some takeout. When it's evening, I'll show you my skills; since three meals are included, I have to let you taste my cooking."

"You can cook?" Nie Yingying was a bit surprised.

Xie Yaoyao operated his phone skillfully.

"Living alone, eating takeout all the time isn't very healthy, plus restaurant owners aren't very willing to cook anymore. Instead of spending money on pre-made food full of high-tech content, it's better to do it yourself and be self-sufficient!"

"Hee hee, then I'll look forward to it tonight!"

As soon as the words fell, Nie Yingying realized something was wrong, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

Xie Yaoyao didn't hear anything inappropriate and continued to operate his phone.

Nie Yingying didn't wait for Xie Yaoyao to answer and immediately changed the subject.

"The helper I found has already met with me, when can you get to Heisen Xiaozhen?"

Hearing this, a strange smile immediately appeared on Xie Yaoyao's face.

"I'm already in a logging camp outside Heisen Xiaozhen."

It was just that the smile on Xie Yaoyao's face made Nie Yingying misunderstand; she thought Xie Yaoyao was laughing at her for saying the wrong thing just now, and her face couldn't help but turn redder by three points.

Glaring fiercely at Xie Yaoyao, Nie Yingying was a bit annoyed and embarrassed.

"We've already found some clues, and you're still taking your time on the road! After all, it's a three-person mission, I don't care, but the teammates might not say anything to your face but will grumble in their hearts!"

Xie Yaoyao immediately noticed the key point in Nie Yingying's words.

"Three-person mission?"

"Right, wasn't that the agreement? What do you mean? I've already found the people, that's my only good friend."

Nie Yingying stared fixedly at Xie Yaoyao with her phoenix eyes; she suspected this guy wanted to kick out her good friend.

If that were really the case, then she would have to carefully consider this guy's character.

Just didn't expect Xie Yaoyao to have no opinion on her friend, but instead said with a smile.

"The number limit for this mission isn't fixed."
