The strongest anime shop owner

As far as the memories in my mind are concerned, that's the situation. As for whether it's true or not, I don't know.

Her name hasn't changed, only her surname has been added. She's now called Bai Suluo, which sounds quite innocent. She's currently a senior in high school, but thankfully, it's vacation time now. Otherwise, Su Luo really wouldn't be able to stand going back to school. After all, nostalgia doesn't equal liking.

Su Luo opened the attribute panel, and sure enough, a new task had been added:

[Side Quest] Used to impress Bai Xiangrong. Reward: God-level writing (optional, no penalty).

[Side Quest Follow-up] Grant Shen Yizhen the adaptation rights to personally adapt the script. Reward: God-tier screenwriter (optional, no penalty).

Su Luo looked at the task and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The task was not difficult, and could even be said to be very simple, especially for someone in his current status.

Su Luo knew that Shen Yizhen would be coming to her house in the early stages, and as long as she controlled the kitchen, everything would proceed smoothly.

So, all that's left is to wait for Shen Yizhen to arrive. Su Luo doesn't know if the plot has already started, but at least she knows that Shen Yizhen hasn't come yet.

As for the tasks that follow, since they are optional, Su Luo thought it best to let things take their course. To be honest, the rewards that follow seem unattainable for ordinary people, but in Su Luo's opinion, they are really useless and not very useful. After all, he is just a chef, and with his amazing memory, he is not bad in many aspects.

These side quests are optional and not important.

Su Luo glanced at the task, then checked the time. It was still past 1 a.m., so she lay back down on the bed.

"Xinxin, Luoluo, get up and have breakfast." Su Luo was woken up by this voice, which was his current mother He Meilan's. Su Luo didn't have any particularly serious procrastination problem, and the weather wasn't too cold, so he quickly got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs to eat.

Perhaps because it's a small restaurant, the breakfast is exceptionally plentiful.

The parents, Bai Xinxin, and Su Luo were having breakfast at the dining table.

"Oh, right, Xin Xin, go ask the hospital for leave this morning." While eating breakfast, He Meilan seemed to remember something and said to Bai Xin Xin, who was still eating and looked a little sleepy.

"Are you asking for leave?" Bai Xinxin's mind cleared up, and she looked at He Meilan with a puzzled expression.

“Your brother is coming back today, go to the airport to pick him up,” He Meilan said.

"What? My brother's coming back? He doesn't need to ask for leave, it's just picking someone up. Speaking of which, I'm so angry, it's driving me crazy! Those fans of my brother's books are calling out to me every day, it's driving me insane! You know, even though I'm an intern doctor, I'm very busy, okay? This time, if I catch my brother, I'll make him pay! Who told him to push me out here but not show up himself, and he even called himself a mysterious author, ha!" Upon hearing this, Bai Xinxin was so angry that she couldn't speak, her face contorted with rage, as if she really wanted to tear her so-called brother apart.

After saying this, Bai Xinxin turned to Su Luo, who was eating breakfast, and said, "By the way, Luo Luo, do you want to come with me?"

"How many times have I told you? Don't call me Luo Luo, Su Su, and definitely don't call me Little Su Luo. Please just call me Su Luo, OK? Also, rather than wasting time picking up a goofy guy, I'd rather help out at the restaurant or go out and soak up some wonderful sunshine." Hearing this title made Su Luo angry. Damn it, how many worlds has this happened in? Why can't this title be changed? It's really enough.

“That’s true. My brother is really awful. It makes me not want to go pick him up anymore.” Bai Xinxin agreed with Su Luo’s words and nodded fiercely.

“Luo Luo, how can you stay at home every day like this? You should go out and play with your friends more often. If you don’t have enough money, Mom will give you some. Although our family is not rich, we are not short of money.” He Meilan was still very worried about Su Luo. She knew that Su Luo was very smart and had never caused any worry. However, she was a bit aloof in terms of interpersonal relationships, which made her, as a parent, very distressed.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll handle it myself," Su Luo said.

Seeing that He Meilan was about to say something, Bai Tianzhen, as the head of the family, spoke up: "Alright, Meilan, they will handle the children's affairs themselves, so don't worry too much. You have to trust them."

“Yes, yes, Mom, you don’t need to worry too much. We’ll handle it ourselves,” Bai Xinxin quickly replied.

He Meilan sighed silently and said nothing more.

------------

Chapter 423 Completed

Seeing this, Su Luo knew that the plot had already begun. It seemed that it was time to find an opportunity to show off her cooking skills. Otherwise, when Shen Yizhen came, there would be nothing for her to do. If she missed this opportunity, she wouldn't be able to find another one as easily as she was now.

Su Luo knew that she would only be here for a few days at most, so she didn't intend to have much interaction with the people here.

As for recruiting personnel, Su Luo hadn't thought about it. She could only leave it to fate. She could only stay in this world for a few days. It wasn't that she couldn't recruit, but it was obviously impossible to recruit suitable people.

His recruitment isn't the kind where you can come and go as you please; it's a lifetime position. Of course, that's not a difficult point, since as long as you tell me where you'll be working and what the salary is, I think there will be plenty of people willing to apply.

No matter what, it's a restaurant of the multiverse level, so the treatment is naturally incomparable to the salary in the mortal world. Whether it's immortality or having martial arts-like power, it's definitely a fatal temptation for many people.

The challenge here lies in loyalty, which for a store is a sense of belonging to the store, and this is something that can't be created overnight.

You see, Su Luo doesn't want temporary workers, much less people who would do more harm than good.

Time passed day by day until it suddenly spoke up. Normally, the system rarely appeared during world missions, so this was clearly a special situation: "Host, the plot of this world has undergone serious changes. Please make corrections as soon as possible, otherwise, unforeseen situations may occur in this world."

The sudden sound startled Su Luo, and upon hearing this, she was even more shocked and immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"An emergency has occurred in the kidnapping of Bai Xinxin. Please go to provide support immediately," the system said concisely.

"The kidnapping of Bai Xinxin?" Su Luo was naturally familiar with this plot; it was the opening episode of the TV series. After thinking for a moment, she said, "There shouldn't be any problem with that, right? Didn't the main character appear later to rescue her?"

"The number of thugs has changed, which is beyond Shen Yizhen's ability to handle. Besides, in the original story, he was eventually caught anyway," the system replied.

"How many thugs?" Su Luo was clearly taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"

Su Luo really didn't know the answer to this question.

"TV dramas are just TV dramas; they are very different from the real world," the system stated succinctly.

Upon hearing this, Su Luo immediately understood. The number of thugs was indeed suspicious. How could someone with a slightly organized group, who also used drugs, and with such a large territory, possibly have fewer than a handful of people?

As expected, TV dramas are just TV dramas, and many things are unreliable. For example, some scenes require tens of thousands of people to act. Is it really possible to hire tens of thousands of people to act? Obviously, that's quite unlikely.

"Even if there are a lot of thugs, there shouldn't be any problem, right? Also, what about Bai Xiangrong?" Su Luo thought for a moment and said.

According to what happened next, although Shen Yizhen was eventually caught, he later managed to capture the gang leader thanks to Bai Xinxin's wisdom and cooperation with Bai Xiangrong. Although the warehouse exploded later, Shen Yizhen was able to rescue Bai Xinxin in the end. It can be said that he escaped danger without any real harm.

"Host, TV dramas are just TV dramas. Real-life thugs aren't as mild-mannered as those on screen. After all, those are for the audience, so they can't be too extreme, especially in a certain country. Besides, that's how the scriptwriters wrote it, so what can you do? But this is reality, and we can't guarantee their absolute safety. Finally, a reminder to the host: Bai Xiangrong isn't home today, and his phone is still at home," the system explained.

"Does this have to be so unfair?" Su Luo wailed after hearing these explanations.

However, after complaining for a moment, Su Luo scratched her head and prepared to leave, thinking to herself: Right, what was the location where I was kidnapped again?

The old warehouse in the east of the city, um, that should be it.

Fortunately, Su Luo has a photographic memory, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to recall such details.

Su Luo went out, hailed a taxi, and then went outside.

About ten minutes later

"This is it." Su Luo got out of the car and, following the driver's directions, walked a distance in one direction until she arrived at the old warehouse in the east of the city. The old warehouse was very large, so it was a very obvious target.

He looked them up and down, then went inside. He hadn't gone far when he saw several figures loitering near the entrance, carrying weapons and looking menacing; they were clearly not people to be trifled with.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people guarding the gate. TV dramas are really unreliable." Su Luo couldn't help but complain as she looked at the situation.

Su Luo knew that there were no gatekeepers in TV dramas, otherwise Shen Yizhen wouldn't have been able to ride in so easily on horseback.

Su Luo really didn't want to deal with this sudden and troublesome task; it wasn't a matter of selfishness.

He's leaving in a few days, but unfortunately, his people are under threat, so he has no choice but to come.

"Hey kid, what are you doing here? Get out of here right now, or we'll get rough." The thug guarding the gate took a few steps forward and waved his weapon as a warning after seeing Su Luo approach.

“That’s right, this isn’t a place for students like you. Don’t blame us if anything happens,” another thug chimed in.

Hearing this, Su Luo couldn't help but roll her eyes and ignored them. They all looked fierce and menacing, but in Su Luo's eyes, they were just trash.

Su Luo didn't have any extra time to waste talking to them. If the people inside were really killed by these thugs, Su Luo would be devastated.

Seeing that Su Luo seemed not to have heard them and continued walking towards them, these thugs, who were being ignored, really didn't have a good temper. They exchanged glances, understanding each other's meaning.

Today is a special time, and these thugs dare not be careless in the slightest. They had already angered their boss by letting one person escape before. If another one comes, especially a student, the consequences will be dire. Just thinking about it terrifies them.

After all, their boss is no pushover; to be able to operate in such a large territory for twenty years is quite remarkable.

At that moment, the group stopped thinking about it. Although they hadn't taken the skinny kid seriously before, that was their initial thought. They figured he had already been taught a lesson by Shen Yizhen, or rather, by Shen Yizhen's other personality, Zhu Changjiang. Even now, Su Luo's expression showed a hint of wariness, indicating that he had been quite hurt, which was why they hadn't chased after him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although Zhu Changjiang in that state gives the impression of being crazy, don't forget that he is indeed very capable. You can see this from the scene where he accurately shot the things in the hands of those thugs with a steel needle. It's just that he always messes up at crucial moments, making him seem like he's there to be funny.

Looking at the group of thugs who had gathered around, Su Luo didn't take them seriously at all. After all, they were just small fry. More than anything, he thought this world was just an ordinary world, and if he wanted to, he could roam freely throughout the world without any problem.

Before the group could even get close, Su Luo didn't even glance at them before kicking out, sending the closest thug flying.

The thug flew straight back four or five meters, his eyes wide open. Before he could even feel the pain, he was probably kicked so hard that he felt nauseous and vomited up bile.

Then he clutched his stomach, looking pained, and struggled on the ground. Needless to say, it looked painful, and the other thugs were stunned.

For them, this level of absurdity was simply too much. They had never actually faced such a scene before, one that only appeared in movies. After seeing this, they got goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Brother, do we still want to go?" one of the thugs swallowed hard and asked with great difficulty.

The thug who was called "brother" was clearly a bit frightened by what he saw. After all, they were just a bunch of small-time thugs who occasionally raced cars and collected tolls; they weren't big shots at all. This level was far too far away for them.

Having witnessed Su Luo's strength, what else could he say? He hurriedly smacked the man's head hard and said, "Are you stupid?!"

This didn't need much explanation; everyone understood without saying a word. They silently kept their distance from Su Luo, fearing that she might suddenly become angry and attack them. Judging from the previous person, even if he wasn't crippled, he would probably have to stay in the hospital for several days.

Su Luo really had no interest in these small fry. To be honest, he wouldn't have come if he wasn't worried about something happening to Shen Yizhen and the others. Since they were so sensible, he had no interest in doing anything unnecessary.

He walked into the warehouse without even glancing at the people. If he was late, something bad might happen, and he didn't want the mission to fail, although he didn't know what would happen if the mission failed.

When Su Luo walked in, she saw that Shen Yizhen and Bai Xinxin were already tied to chairs. Bai Xinxin was alright, at least she wasn't seriously injured, but it was hard to say about Shen Yizhen. His face was swollen from being hit, and he was making hissing sounds. He looked rather miserable, but it seemed that he had now returned to his main personality.

The gang leader was now standing in front of Shen Yizhen and Bai Xinxin, while his number one stuttering thug was interrogating Shen Yizhen: "Quickly, tell me, where did you put that leather armor?"

"I really don't know anything about leather armor. Even if you interrogate me again, it won't do any good!" Shen Yizhen, who was being interrogated, looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding what was going on.

Of course, Shen Yizhen knew that these were definitely caused by his other personalities again. He felt extremely helpless. It was a tragedy that he, as the main personality, could not control his own body, especially since he had no recollection of these things at all.

Similarly, Shen Yizhen was filled with anxiety at this moment. He was supposed to attend the board meeting, but he received this kidnapping call, and with Zhu Changjiang's appearance, it was a disaster. If he missed the board meeting, he really didn't know what the consequences would be. Just thinking about it was terrifying.

"Ugh, ooo." Seeing this situation, Bai Xinxin, who was next to Shen Yizhen, was speechless. She really wanted to tell them that the clothes were with her, but unfortunately, her hands were tied and her mouth was taped shut. She could only express herself with her feet, but unfortunately, no one understood or paid any attention. She felt deeply helpless. What was originally a very simple matter had turned into this.

"If you don't talk now, then it'll be one of you who gets killed first," the stuttering thug said, gesturing towards the two men's necks.

Then, Bai Xinxin spotted Su Luo and immediately widened her eyes, shouting something, but because of the tape covering her face, she could only make muffled sounds. Presumably, she was telling Su Luo to leave quickly.

Compared to the gang leader, the stuttering gangster was obviously much smarter. He quickly noticed Bai Xinxin's strange behavior and immediately turned around. He soon spotted Su Luo, since Su Luo had walked in openly and had no intention of hiding.

Seeing the stuttering thug's actions, the old thug turned around and saw Su Luo. His expression changed, and he said angrily, "Those idiots, how could they let people in again? They're getting more and more unruly. They don't even listen to me. It seems I'll have to teach them a lesson later."
