Chapter 34: Mango Pomelo Sago

Sun-protective Clothing Blueprint x1, Air Conditioner Blueprint x1, Electrolyte Water Blueprint x1, Parasol Blueprint x1, Mini Fan Blueprint x1, Sneakers Blueprint x1, Underwear Blueprint x1, Wooden Table Blueprint x1, Bench Blueprint x1, Sanitary Pad Blueprint x1, Greatsword Forging Blueprint x1.

Mo Yubai quickly sorted through them, first placing the more urgent blueprints and materials onto the Workbench for processing, such as the Sun-protective Clothing Blueprint, Electrolyte Water Blueprint, and Sanitary Pad Blueprint.

After all, many women were bound to be short on sanitary pads right now. She had harvested plenty of cotton, plastic, and linen tonight, so she could make some sanitary pads first and list them on the Cat Snack Shop. Once she restricted the buyer gender to female, it would at least help resolve an urgent need for some girls.

She then took out the forging table and clicked on the Greatsword blueprint to check the required materials.

Greatsword Forging Blueprint: Forging Stone x10, Iron Block x20, Stone x65, Cat’s Eye Gem x1, Mithril x2.

Since the forging table was currently empty, Mo Yubai eagerly clicked forge. The display showed a twelve-hour countdown, meaning it probably wouldn’t be finished until tomorrow.

So, Mo Yubai stored it in her backpack to let it forge slowly. After tidying up the blueprints she didn’t need immediately, she was about to go to sleep when a notification sound for her pinned contacts suddenly rang in her ear.

“Sister Mo, I finally ran into the Chest Guardians you mentioned tonight! And there’s one for every single chest, it’s so annoying!”

“Sister Mo, your Pig-driving Stick is amazing! The Golden Chest Guardian I ran into tonight was electrocuted to death with just a light poke from me! It was so satisfying! I just love weapons with such foolproof controls!” Zhu Ou eagerly shared her joy in their three-person group chat.

“.” Wen Ruyan stared expressionlessly at the pinned contact notification that had woken her up, offering a silent protest.

Mo Yubai smiled helplessly. Ou Ou really was a lucky girl bursting with energy, only running into a Chest Guardian tonight.

She couldn’t help but grumble inwardly: Are we really playing the same game? I drove at top speed all day and didn’t see a single Golden Chest.

“If you’ve been using it all day, don’t forget to feed it a battery tonight, or it’ll run out of power.”

“It actually needs to be recharged? Good thing you reminded me, Sister Mo, or I’d be in deep trouble if it ran out of power right after I opened a chest!”

After a moment of thought, Mo Yubai asked in the group chat, “I have a new dungeon opening tomorrow. It’s a management minigame type. It might be a bit tiring, but there’s no danger. Do you guys want to come and help me in the dungeon?”

Seeing the message, Zhu Ou immediately responded enthusiastically, “Yes, yes! That way we can meet up again!”

Wen Ruyan followed closely behind. “Sure.”

The smile on Mo Yubai’s face widened. “Then I’ll pay you wages tomorrow, two hundred coins each!”

“Wow, Boss Mo is so generous! I’m definitely clinging to your coattails!”

“Hello, Boss.”

In a good mood, Mo Yubai looked at their messages and took out two Tracking Gold Coins to inspect them.

Tracking Gold Coin: Allows the user to select a target profile picture from the chat channel. Once tracked, the highways will merge for twelve hours, allowing the user to reach the target’s side. The heads side of the coin merges the highways to pursue the target, while the tails side ends the merge early.

“Then I’ll give you the Tracking Gold Coins. Tomorrow morning, you can merge your highways to join me for breakfast. I opened a lot of food ingredients tonight. After breakfast, we can enter the dungeon together.”

Zhu Ou’s mouth instantly watered, and she cheered loudly, “Ahhh, long live Sister Mo!”

“Teacher Mo is the best!”

After ending the chat, Mo Yubai began to plan tomorrow’s schedule. In the morning, she could use the electric griddle to make some scallion egg pancakes, simmer a pot of millet soup, stir-fry a dish of pork with garlic sprouts, and steam three crabs.

Slurp… Just thinking about it made her mouth water.

After eating, she could use the Double Coins^[1] in front of them, making them think it was a dungeon coin. Then, once they entered the Internet Celebrity Milk Tea Shop, she would have people to help her.

She remembered that when she played this minigame in the past, the customers in the later stages would become too numerous to handle, and their patience would deplete faster and faster. If more than twenty angry customers left, the game would end in failure.

The Cat Snack Shop was a newbie benefit that came fully upgraded, so it had no reference value.

She didn’t know if tomorrow’s Internet Celebrity Milk Tea Shop would be a one-to-one replica, or if there would be changes to the management aspect.

If it really was the same as before, where losing more than twenty customers meant failure, she would suffer a massive loss, especially since she was using the Double Coins.

However, if she could clear the entire game, she would make a fortune just by selling milk tea in the Cat Snack Shop, not to mention the ultimate weapon that was the Double Coins!

With that in mind, Mo Yubai opened the Cat Snack Shop and posted a prominent announcement with gold text on a white background.

[To show appreciation for our new and regular customers, this shop will start selling milk tea tomorrow at 8:30 AM. We accept various payment methods, including materials and coins. First come, first served!]

Nodding in satisfaction at the announcement, Mo Yubai wrapped herself tightly in her sleeping bag, snuggled closer to the heat-radiating Xiao Ling, and comfortably closed her eyes to sleep.

Meanwhile, the chat channel exploded because of this sudden announcement!

“Holy crap, am I seeing things?”

“Bro, you’re not seeing things! The Cat Snack Shop has been transformed into a milk tea shop! Awesome, I finally don’t have to worry about running out of water. I’m going to buy a hundred cups of milk tea tomorrow!”

“Stop dreaming. You’ll be lucky if your hands are fast enough to snag even one cup!”

“Heh heh, I’m definitely grabbing a Jasmine Green Milk Tea tomorrow.”

“I want Mango Pomelo Sago. I’m craving it so bad.”

“Four Seasons Spring Tea^[2] with Cheese Foam is the real deal!”

“Lemonade! In this hellish weather, no drink is more refreshing and thirst-quenching than lemonade!”

“Lemonade doesn’t even count as milk tea. Kick them out of the group!”

“Mango Pomelo Sago is way too cloying. Does anyone actually like drinking that?”

“That’s because you have no taste! Trash!”

“Is it that serious? A single sentence triggered you. You dare call me names? Do you really think this is the real world where I can’t crawl through the internet cable to your house?”

“Idiot, come at me if you have the guts. Your daddy is waiting for you in my car!”

“Fine, fine, fine! You’ve got guts, grandson^[3]. I’m coming right now. Wash your neck^[4] and wait for me!”

“Wait, isn’t it just a cup of milk tea? What grown man drinks that stuff anyway? You two are actually going to fight over this? You’re an embarrassment to men!”

“Fine. I have plenty of Tracking Gold Coins. I’ll come find you after I kill him.”

“Wait, big brother, don’t! Real men should drink milk tea! My mouth ran off, please don’t hold it against me. I apologize! I’m seriously completely broke, killing me won’t even cover the cost of the Tracking Gold Coin.”

“Just you wait.”

Early the next morning, Mo Yubai prepared breakfast and crafted the wooden table and bench from the blueprints she had received yesterday. She also scheduled the 2,121 sanitary pads, which the Workbench had spent all night producing, to be listed on the Cat Snack Shop at 8:30 AM.

The women who would buy sanitary pads right when the milk tea shop opened were likely in urgent need. This timing would also prevent some people from maliciously hoarding them!
