The strongest anime shop owner

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining a pair of normal eyeballs." Not long after, before Su Luo could even react, the system had finished drawing the eyeballs, leaving only the system's emotionless voice.

puff~

"What? A pair of eyeballs?" Su Luo's lips twitched as she looked at the pair of eyeballs in her backpack. What kind of crazy prizes were these? What would happen if others saw them?

The system said, "Yes, and here's a reminder: anything belonging to the host will belong to the host after a transaction. It can also be sold back to the system, but the system will take a 50% cut. If the host wants to keep the item, they will have to pay that 50% cut. If they don't keep it, it will be converted into points and the host will receive 50%. If the system's items are used for the transaction, the 50% cut will be 90%. In addition, the host's personal items can also be sold back to the system, and only a 40% cut will be charged."

"Ugh, this is so unfair! I still have to collect everything in the system myself. System, is this really okay?" Hearing this explanation, Su Luo felt so tired.

The system said, "That's great, after all, it was the system that gave the host this opportunity."

"That's a very strong reason. I'm speechless." Hearing this, Su Luo couldn't help but give a thumbs up; he was completely speechless.

At this moment, the system added: "In addition, as long as it is the host's own thing, you can use it yourself without paying any fees. For example, these two eyeballs. Although the host's eyes can see things normally, they are actually nearly 20 degrees nearsighted. At this time, the host can replace them. The same goes for other parts."

Furthermore, let me explain what is meant by "the host's own things." "The host's own things" refers to private property, which includes the host himself. In other words, the host can also trade parts of his own body.

"Uh~" The first part was fine, but when she heard about using her own body parts as trade goods, Su Luo's forehead started to break out in a cold sweat. Just thinking about how she would dismember herself to make a trade was terrifying. She couldn't help but say, "Then the missions won't keep coming, right? What if there are too many? Especially if they want to replace organs or something, and I don't have any, then I'll have to dismember myself."

The system said, "That depends on the host's own judgment. Whoever gets the host's business card can be monitored live. The host will have to guess what they need. Also, on Thursday, the host must choose one person to complete the transaction. It is best to choose multiple people, after all, business is business and there may be cases where the deal is not reached. Furthermore, if the host completes 5 transactions, the system will upgrade to the first one."

"I see." After hearing this, Su Luo felt relieved: "What changes have occurred after the system upgrade?"

"The fees charged will decrease, and the replication ability will increase. Does that count as a change?" the system countered.

"..." Su Luo

"Then I'll choose the second floor!" Su Luo then began the task, which was very simple; all she had to do was make a choice.

The system said: "Selection successful."

Task: As a trading shop owner, you must have your own shop. Otherwise, do you think you're some kind of roadside charlatan? (Completed)

Reward: One regular lottery draw

"There's nothing in the regular lottery now, what's the point of even trying?" Su Luo complained, looking at the reward.

The system said, "Therefore, the host needs to work harder to add more things."

“Okay…” Su Luo.

"The day after tomorrow is Thursday, so please distribute the business cards now," the system reminded you.

"How do I distribute these? Should I give them to someone else or what? Also, why isn't there an address and phone number on them?" Su Luo asked, looking at the business card she had taken out of her backpack.

In the palm of my hand lay a pure black business card, its blackness somewhat eerie. I didn't know what it was made of, but I heard it wouldn't break no matter what I did with it.

The business card bore the words "Store No. 4" written in blood-red ink, followed by Su Luo's name and a sentence: "As long as you have enough money, you can exchange it for anything you want here." The sentence was straightforward but clear, and its meaning was immediately obvious.

The system said, "You can give it to others yourself, but only those who need it can see it. It's completely meaningless if you give it to people who can't see it. Even if someone gets the card, they might not come. So it's best to distribute several cards. Of course, the system can also distribute the cards for you. Actually, it doesn't matter where you throw them. It's best to do it in crowded places, since only those who are destined to receive it and those who need it can get it. Plus, the card won't get damaged, so there's no need to worry about that."

As for the address and phone number, what the heck are those? Do you think this is ordering takeout?

Chapter 5 Chu Yang

"This is outrageous! You only gave me one, and buying more is so expensive. It's impossible to send out more. What am I supposed to do? Seriously, you didn't even give me a few more." Upon hearing this, Su Luo started complaining. With only 10 points, she couldn't even afford a single business card. Helplessly, she said, "Then you can send them out for me."

"Okay." After the system responded, the black business card in Su Luo's hand turned into a beam of light and flew out, then disappeared from sight.

"Damn, why is my body so weak? Honestly, it doesn't even help me modify anything. It's true that other people's systems are always better." After explaining her conversation with the system, Su Luo realized that her body felt like it had been drained of all its strength. She felt weak all over and her face was pale.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Su Luo had already taken a shower and changed her clothes, but her face was still a little pale and she was a little weak.

"Who is it?" Su Luo went downstairs after hearing the knocking. Business had been terrible these past few days, so she was making other plans and didn't open the door. She wondered who would come to her house at this hour. After all, she didn't have many friends, and hardly anyone would contact her, let alone come to her house.

"Police! Open the door quickly!" A young woman's voice came from outside the door. It was very clear and crisp, and just by listening to her voice, you could tell that she was a very straightforward person.

"Police? What are the police doing in my house?" Su Luo opened the door with a puzzled look, and sized up the person who came in. It was a woman in her early twenties with a somewhat androgynous appearance. She was quite pretty, wearing a police uniform, and had short hair. She looked clean and efficient. "May I ask what brings you here?"

"I received an alert that screams were coming from your place, so I came to investigate." Zhao Yaxuan glanced at Su Luo as she looked him up and down, speaking directly without any hesitation.

After hearing this, Su Luo naturally realized that the so-called scream was hers. However, she did not expect that someone would call the police, and the police would arrive so quickly. It was unbelievable. For a moment, she did not know how to explain. After a while, a sudden idea came to her mind, and she said, "Oh, you mean this? It's just that the TV was turned on and the sound was a bit loud."

"Really? Then I wonder if I can go in and take a look?" Zhao Yaxuan gave Su Luo a strange look, clearly not very convinced, and said, after all, the person who called the police had given a very convincing account.

"Please come in." Su Luo didn't mind the request, since there was nothing shameful inside anyway.

After Zhao Yaxuan came in, he began to look around. Apart from the house being a bit old and worn, he didn't find anything else.

After finding nothing amiss, Zhao Yaxuan left, saying before departing, "If anything happens, remember to call the police."

Su Luo was completely baffled by what Zhao Yaxuan said. The reason Zhao Yaxuan said this was because the people who lived in this house before had all died. As a good policeman, he naturally had to fulfill his duties and care about the people.

Time flies. In the past two days, Su Luo has had basically nothing to do, except sell some miscellaneous goods. Business is still the same, neither hot nor cold, with no improvement. Life is quite leisurely and easy. After all, now that she has the system, she doesn't have to worry too much about some things, so her mood is naturally much better. However, life is a bit monotonous. Although she is very mature, she is still a young person after all.

The business card was actually obtained by someone after it was sent out, but since it wasn't Thursday yet, the person couldn't come even if they wanted to.

Not far to the east of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in a neighboring city, in a luxurious villa, in a room the size of an ordinary house, it was clear that the family was extremely wealthy, judging from both the decorations and the quality of the items.

In the room, a young man in his early twenties was sitting at a computer, watching the recently popular anime "Food Wars!" with an enthusiastic expression.

The man's name was Chu Yang. He had a clean and handsome appearance, and wore a silver earring on his right ear. He had long hair, and his bangs covered his right eye. He seemed to have been heavily influenced by South Korea, and his clothing style was rather naive.

"It looks so delicious! I wish I could have a bite." His originally handsome face turned into a lecherous expression as he looked at the food on the computer screen, and he was practically drooling.

"Ahhh! God, Satan, please hear the prayers of your faithful follower! Please grant me one of the delicacies in the Food Wars! I would gladly offer my soul!" Watching the food already devoured on screen, the feeling of being able to look but not eat was unbearable for Chu Yang. Just thinking about those beautiful dishes, their glossy colors tempting the appetite, the taste that made one involuntarily groan – it made his mouth water. But why couldn't anyone actually make it in reality? Thinking of this, Chu Yang frantically grabbed his hair and grumbled.

Just then, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a black card suddenly appeared in front of him. This scene was witnessed by Chu Yang.

Faced with this bizarre scene, surprisingly, Chu Yang showed no fear whatsoever. After a moment of stunned silence, he picked up the black card with delight. The eerie black color and the strange blood-red lettering looked like they came from hell, making people feel uneasy just looking at them.

Looking at the card in his hand, Chu Yang was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Lord Satan, thank you for your kindness."

After receiving the black business card, that was it. Since Store No. 4 hadn't opened yet, the wait was agonizing for Chu Yang, who complained from time to time: "Lord Satan, come out quickly and grant my wish. I will offer you a generous sacrifice."

"Huh, why is there no reaction at all? Is it because my summoning method is wrong, or is my magic power insufficient?" Chu Yang muttered to himself as he shook the unresponsive business card in his hand.

Chapter Six: The Young Boy is the Face of the Store

The rest of the time was spent doing all sorts of things, even setting up an altar, wearing Taoist robes, holding a peach wood sword, chanting incantations, and performing rituals. It was truly a funny and silly thing to do, but in the end, it was all for naught.

Faced with Chu Yang's strange behavior, the people in the villa turned a blind eye and went about their own business. For them, this was not the first time this had happened.

Think about how Chu Yang grabbed his family's chef and said he wanted to make food from anime, and then said that the chicks he personally hatched would grow into Bolton (the monster from Ultraman), and then actually tried to do it. There are countless things like this, so the people in the villa are already used to it, and it would be strange if they had any reaction.

Moreover, Chu Yang is usually accompanied by someone, who is said to be Hisako, Erina Nakiri's secretary.

If Su Luo saw this, she would definitely break out in a cold sweat. It's better to get rid of this kind of customer. To be so delusional is truly astounding.

"Ahhh, could this be fake? Which superpowered being is playing tricks on me? As a detective, Saber will definitely find out the truth." Chu Yang revealed a sharp look and looked around. His aura and actions made it seem like it was really true, but unfortunately, it was all for naught.

After struggling for a while, Chu Yang was exhausted and had no choice but to give up. What kind of nonsense is this? It's so unprofessional. Speaking of which, the person who made this business card should be severely criticized. Couldn't they have put in a little more effort?

"Your Majesty, we're almost finished eating. The King and Queen are waiting for you." At this moment, a pleasant voice came from outside the door. This person was Chu Yang's secretary, who had the appearance of Hisako from the anime. Wearing Hisako's clothes, she looked just like Hisako had stepped out of the anime.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

As for Su Luo, seeing that the time was almost up, he suddenly felt a little nervous, which he hadn't expected. You see, after he went to university, he started doing part-time jobs and had worked in many different jobs, including those that required interacting with a lot of people, such as a bartender.

After Thursday arrived, Su Luo went to one of the largest rooms prepared on the second floor. This was the trading place, and the situation inside had changed drastically. The room was somewhat dark, and even in the daytime, it looked a bit eerie.

A dilapidated table and several dilapidated chairs, so worn they looked like they would topple over at the slightest push. Behind them were what appeared to be many counters, all empty, presumably for displaying items. However, Su Luo's only item was those eyeballs. This place was already eerie enough; if they were to display something like that, customers would probably be scared away, except for certain special individuals, of course.

Beside the door stood a locust tree about 1.7 meters tall, which looked very healthy. It was blooming with flowers that were not supposed to be in season. The yellow and white flowers were in clusters, which looked very pleasing. In this gloomy environment, the bright flowers did not stand out at all, which was really surprising.

"System, all you've done is make the room a bit darker, add a broken table and a few broken chairs, a display stand, and a potted plant. Is that what you call a change? And are you sure this kind of decor won't scare people away?" Su Luo looked at the changed room and was speechless. She had originally thought there would be some amazing changes, but it was just like that, which was really disappointing.

The system said, "This is only the internal part. The external part is subject to change at any time. This room will appear on the path that the person holding the black business card must take. No matter which way he goes, he will eventually come across this shop. Whether he goes in or not is his own business. Moreover, no one else can see it. After the transaction is over, if the person loses the black business card and wants to come back, it is impossible for him to appear here, because it appears here precisely because he holds the business card."

"So high-end?" The system is indeed powerful, capable of doing such things. Su Luo was quite surprised for a moment.

"Of course. As for whether it will scare the guests, that's up to you, host. It depends on your own abilities," the system said.

"What? This has to be so unfair! I think the reason for this is just to make it harder for me." Su Luo was absolutely convinced of this.

"If that's what the host thinks, then so be it," the system said in a nonchalant tone.

"Just as I thought." Su Luo's face darkened, and she muttered to herself.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing you haven't claimed yet, host." At this moment, the system seemed to have remembered something and said.

"What is this?" After learning about the system's temperament, Su Luo didn't believe that such a good thing could exist.

"You'll understand once you receive it, host."

"You're just being mysterious, so let's accept it!"

Just after Su Luo finished speaking, a flash of light appeared before her eyes, and a figure about 1.6 meters tall appeared in front of her, which startled Su Luo.

"System, what the hell is this? You're not a human trafficker or someone who killed someone and wants to dump the body here, are you? You have such a heavy taste, you can even do this to such a cute little boy." Looking at the figure lying in front of her, about 1.6 meters tall, looking very young, probably eleven or twelve years old, with a slightly chubby oval face, closed eyes, long eyelashes, delicate features, and white hair, the system's evaluation was about 84. The key point is that he wasn't wearing any clothes, he was completely naked, with fair skin, and even a decent six-pack. How could Su Luo, with her potbelly, possibly live with this?

"Host is overthinking it. This is the host's body for Thursdays from now on," the system said.

"My Thursday body, what does that mean? Could it be to cover up my true identity?" Su Luo looked puzzled, seemingly unable to understand.

"Host, how can I put this to you? If I had to put it, it would be that your appearance is too detrimental to the store's image, so this body will be used by you on Thursdays," the system said.

"There's no need to be so direct." Hearing such blunt words, Su Luo felt as if she had been shot in the heart with a sharp arrow, feeling extremely hurt: "Then how am I supposed to use it? Also, even if it's arranged, there's no need to use a young boy."

"Don't think I don't know that the host actually longs for this kind of image, but unfortunately, she's always looked older than she is and has never had the chance." Seeing Su Luo's affected manner, the system ruthlessly exposed her.

"Pfft, you don't have to be so direct." Su Luo was completely speechless.

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

Chapter Seven: The First Business at Store No. 4

The system continued, "Host, you can just lie down. Didn't you realize that you're in a soul state right now?"

"Huh?" At this moment, Su Luo realized that she was different now, her whole body was transparent, and she was definitely shocked. She asked, "What about my original body? You didn't throw it into the sea to feed the fish, did you?"

"Host is overthinking it. Even if you threw that kind of body into the sea, no fish would eat it," the system said.

Su Luo felt as if she had been struck by an arrow again.

Su Luo didn't wait any longer and walked directly towards the boy's body. She saw a suction force coming from the body, which drew Su Luo's soul into it.

Not long after, the body lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, stood up, moved its limbs, and familiarized itself with its body. It was hard to tell if it was just a feeling, but it seemed that this small body was full of power.

Just then, Su Luo suddenly felt a chill beneath her and realized that she was completely naked. She exclaimed, "System, is this really okay? You're so stingy that you won't even give me a piece of clothing."

The system stated, "The state has issued an order stipulating that excessively heavy product packaging is illegal."

"Hehe," Su Luo said.
