There were still more than thirty thousand lottery tickets left, but it was still not safe. He didn't know if he could sell them all this week. He had to leave in three days at the latest, and this trip might take half a year.
There was still some time before the store closed. Mo Tiankong went back to the backyard alone. He originally wanted to solve this problem tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he decided to ask today.
He suddenly thought of a problem. Could Luo Ruo stay in the grocery store until she came back? This problem was a little troublesome. Five to six months was a long time. If she only wanted to stay in the store for three months, it would be a little troublesome.
Mo Tiankong sat down on a stone bench in the backyard and chanted in his heart.
"System, if I go out, how do I open the store?" The first problem was the store's door. Only Mo Tiankong could open the store's door. If he went out, how would Luo Ruo open the store?
Every day when Luo Ruo came, she would wait outside the store. Therefore, this problem was very important.
"Hang a clock in the main hall. The System will close and open the store after two rings. There will be a 15 minutes delay for each ring. The clock will be sent to the Space Backpack. Please hang it up," the System replied after a while.
Well, it seemed like the System was prepared. It had even thought about how to open and close the store.
When he opened the Space Backpack, a clock appeared. It was not big, about fifty centimeters long. There was a pendulum hanging below it. According to the System, the bell would ring twice, once for opening and once for closing.
However, the System also said that there would be a 15 minutes delay. After thinking about it, Mo Tiankong understood.
Since there were two groups of words, it should mean that the store was supposed to open at ten o 'clock. The store would close at ten o' clock at night. Then, Luo Ruo would have fifteen minutes to tidy up the store and leave the store.
The System would delay the opening by fifteen minutes as a buffer. After Luo Ruo left the store, the store would close.
Therefore, the problem of opening and closing the store was solved. Without Mo Tiankong, the System would control the opening and closing time.
This troublesome problem was finally solved. There were still a few more problems.
Mo Tiankong went back to the main hall and installed a wall clock. It was not the end of business yet, so he wanted to try it out today.
"What is this?" Luo Ruo asked curiously.
During this period of time, Mo Tiankong was still very easy to get along with, so Luo Ruo's originally shy personality had also changed. Furthermore, during this period of time, she had interacted with other warriors.
"This is a wall clock. There are 24 hours in a day, so it's just an item to tell the time." Mo Tiankong did not explain further, and decided to explain it later at the dinner table.
That's right, the wall clock made by the System was about the same as the modern clock, which was more intuitive. However, it didn't matter if it had any impact on the two-hour world.
In any case, it was only for use in the shop. If someone asked about it, it was just an explanation. As for what other people thought, there was no way to control it. There was also no way to control whether or not they wanted to use it.
"Oh, oh." Luo Ruo nodded, not fully understanding. This wall clock divided each time period in a more detailed way. It didn't matter if she understood it or not, the System would notify her when it was time.
"Dang, dang, dang." The wall clock suddenly rang, which startled Luo Ruo.
"The wall clock rang, which means it's closing time." Mo Tiankong looked at the time on the wall clock. It was already 10 pm. The wall clock indeed rang on time.
After closing the door, Mo Tiankong and Luo Ruo went back to the backyard. Luo Ruo went to the kitchen first to cook, while Mo Tiankong sat on the stone bench, organizing his words and thinking about how to ask later.
At the dinner table, Mo Tiankong said while eating.
"Luo Ruo, how long are you going to work in the shop?" Well, Mo Tiankong admitted that he was not good at talking, so he went straight to the point.
Hearing Mo Tiankong's words, Luo Ruo put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked nervously, "Store Manager Mo, did I do something wrong?"
"No, no, it's like this. It's because I have to go on a long trip, which may take half a year, so you'll be the only one left in the shop." Mo Tiankong saw that Luo Ruo had misunderstood and looked at him nervously, so he quickly explained.
Mo Tiankong also wanted to ask this question, because if Luo Ruo stopped working after three months, she would definitely need to hire new people. At that time, he would be outside and would not be able to take care of her, so he had to ask first.
If the shop was closed all the time, who knew how the System would exploit him? Maybe he would not have any rest time every month, and would have to use it all to pay off the debt. If the shop was closed for two months, he would only have 60 days of rest. Ten months of rest would be gone.
It had been almost a year, and the key point was that he was not just resting, but traveling. This would not do, absolutely not. To prevent hidden dangers, Mo Tiankong had to ask first.
The mission was to be completed within three months, but the time to return naturally did not count. If he was fast, the total time of the mission could be controlled to be completed within four to five months.
The key point was that most of the time was actually spent on the road. Of course, if the empires had set up transmission arrays on the way back, then most of the time on the road could be reduced.
Two to three months was also possible. The Aquamarine Empire also set up transmission arrays in all the cities in just a few months.
The only thing was that Mo Tiankong did not stay in each empire for long. If these warriors wanted to buy, they would have to go to the Aquamarine Empire to buy, and the journey would still take some time.
"As long as Store Manager Mo doesn't mind, I will continue working," Luo Ruo said first.
"It's just that, after such a long time, I'm afraid that I can't do it alone," she added.
When Mo Tiankong heard Luo Ruo's words, he immediately felt relieved. As for whether she could not do it alone, there was no need to worry about that.
If warriors caused trouble, the System would still take action. There was no problem in the store. "It's fine.
You've been doing it alone these days, so just continue doing it. Also, the wall clock will ring once in the morning and once in the morning, corresponding to the opening and closing times of the store. When the clock rings, you can enter the store. Every day, when the clock rings, you can go home. Someone will close the store, "Mo Tiankong explained the function of the wall clock, and also casually mentioned that the warriors in charge of the store would still be in the store.
This also gave Luo Ruo a sense of security. If warriors caused trouble when Mo Tiankong was not around, the warriors in charge of the store would also take action. There was no need to worry about her safety. Also, it was a reminder to Luo Ruo that, even if Mo Tiankong was not around, there was still someone in charge of the store.
"Okay, got it, Store Manager Mo," Luo Ruo nodded and felt a lot more at ease.
If Mo Kongkong wasn't around, it would be a little scary if there weren't any powerhouses guarding the store. After all, treasures arouse the envy of others.
"If it's still the lottery, we will continue to do it. Every month, we will sell three lottery tickets. I will put five months' worth of lottery prizes in the cabinet at the cashier counter. Every week, we will take out one item as a prize," Mo Tiankong continued.
Even if Mo Tiankong was not around, the store still had to do the lottery. The spirit stones that were sold would be stored in the bracelet, and the System would automatically add it to his spirit stone balance.
Three times a month was about enough. There were twenty-one days left, and the store would be open for business for a few days. The last six days were for rest, so three times was enough.
It was not a small amount. Mo Tiankong was thinking of reducing it to once a month in the future. The first few times were just to accumulate some loyal buyers. Later on, he could adjust the prizes to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. This way, he would be able to make a lot more money.
Of course, there was no rush to adjust it. This was just the beginning. If he wanted to adjust it, he would have to wait until Mo Tiankong returned.
As for the lottery prizes, he would use the remaining one million spirit stones. The reason why he did not give them to Auspicious was because he needed to keep the lottery running.
He could not be in the store all the time, so the majority of the one million spirit stones would have to be given out at once. The prize would be martial skill pills. Fifty thousand spirit stones. If he sold the lottery three times a month, he would have a total of seven hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones.
"System, buy sixteen bottles of martial skill pills." Mo Tiankong ordered.
"It has been sent to my spatial bag."
It was basically instant. But Mo Tiankong looked at his spirit stone balance. He only had two hundred thousand spirit stones left.
In two days, he had spent almost two million spirit stones. This money really could not be squandered. As for buying sixteen bottles, he had included this week's lottery prizes.
After becoming rich overnight, he became poor overnight. But the good thing was that once the lottery tickets were sold, the spirit stones would slowly come back. This time, he had spent eight hundred thousand spirit stones. By the time he returned, Mo Tiankong would have earned double the spirit stones.
"By the way, you have six days of rest every month. I forgot to mention it before. You can arrange it as you wish." Mo Tiankong continued.
If he did not need to open for business for six days, then the staff would naturally not be able to enter if he did not open for business.
Rest time was necessary. Otherwise, it would be mentally tiring to open for business every day. Fortunately, the store had been upgraded until now. Mo Tiankong had also survived the novice period.
"Ah, there's still rest time? Then the banquet at the Zhang Clan counts as a day of rest." Luo Ruo was surprised. When she came to the store before, Mo Tiankong did not mention that the store was not open. She thought she would have to come every day.
"Count it as a day." Every month, the store would be open for at least twenty-four days. This was set by the System. The banquet at the Zhang Clan counted as a day of rest.
"Okay, I understand." Luo Ruo said.
"Auspicious, I will also bring her this time." Finally, regarding Auspicious, Mo Tiankong had spent so many spirit stones to reach the Martial Emperor Realm. It would be a loss if he did not bring her along.
Of course, this was also because he did not need to cook for Auspicious or eat in the store. After business hours, the System would close the store when Luo Ruo left.
