I will never give in to Miss Death

Elodie was not surprised: "Honey, do you want to show off too?"

"What's your relationship with me..."

"It's just about love. What else can it be?"

"No, no, let's just show off in the game..."

A breakfast full of daily flavor ended in a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

After dinner, Yin Xiamo and I went to the bathroom at the request of Editor Rabbit to brush our teeth and wash our faces again, and asked Lan Jiajia to put on some light makeup.

It was not until then that I found out that Lan Jiajia was not only the famous beauty editor-in-chief of the Miguabao editorial department, but also a part-time "makeup girl" there.

For example, at comic conventions, the official Miguabao needs to have some more presentable "sign girls" or make introduction videos, and Lan Jiajia is responsible for the makeup of those people.

Although Yin Xiamo and I said that we would just use some skin care products and not wear makeup, Lan Jiajia still helped us choose the makeup. She applied a very light makeup that was said to last a long time and would not fall off even if soaked with sweat.

Under Lan Jiajia's skillful hands, my already very big eyes were made to look like a little girl in anime. My little face was white with a rosy glow, and my nose was so small that it was almost invisible. I looked like a little loli from the second dimension. Yin Xiamo, on the other hand, looked like an elf from a mythological world, elegant, beautiful, and dignified.

Makeup is just like photo editing with PS, which is a kind of oriental "magic". Not to mention making girls cute, even if you are originally a man, a skilled makeup artist can turn you into a beautiful woman. What's more, Yin Xiamo and I both looked like we were from another world from the beginning, so the effect after makeup was really... amazing.

[Bing Ling: Get up, get up, start mic, start mic, start mic, I’m going to start mic at Shenbin! ]

Coming out of the house with Yin Xiamo and Elodie, while taking the elevator, I took out my phone and glanced at the messages in my group chat -

[Physics Duck: So early? I may not leave until 10 o'clock. Did you get the tickets? ]

[(Administrator) The World is a Dream: Are you serious? Are you really going? ]

[Kill all Kirito: What do you mean? I'm in Kamihama, there is indeed a new cafe here, I'm not going to laugh with you guys, are you really going? ]

[Qianfen: I’m just kidding, I still have to go to work]

[Maple: Let's go. I've got a 50% discount coupon. Let's meet at the Glory District Station as we agreed a few days ago.]

[Xiongxiong: I'll go directly by sea]

After reading the group message, I felt something was wrong.

——Are these people serious about this?

Don't want to play your game anymore? Don't want to complete the daily missions? Don't want the daily enhancements?

Because my own reader group is relatively small, four years have passed, and people have come and gone. There are only two or three hundred people left today, and no more than twenty people pop up in the group every day, so I have more or less understanding of their personalities and family backgrounds.

For example, the few people who have been popping up in the group early in the morning, Bing Ling, Physics Duck and Kill All Kirito, should be ordinary college students. These three plus the other two group members who don’t talk much are the main members of the "300 Heroes Black Group" in the group. They play with three or five people every day. Their nature is similar to that of Marisa, whom I met in the editing group before.

As for Maple and Xiongxiong, their QQ genders are female, so they should be the most likely female readers in the group. Maple is also a college student, and her school is next to Kamihama City. It only takes a few hours by train to get here. Xiongxiong rarely shows up in the group, and her identity is a bit mysterious. She has been in the group for at least three years, but I can’t match her account on Yaedo Novel Network in these three years. Her tone of voice is also very girly. I really didn’t expect that a low-key person like her would want to come to Kamihama to play, and "go by sea".

What does it mean to go by sea? To come here by boat from somewhere else?

There is indeed a pier in Minaminagi Ward, Kamihama City, and there are also many cruise ships, but the trains are so developed nowadays, unless you are abroad or really like the feeling of riding a boat, you don't think you would want to come here by boat, right?

[Uncle Loves Lolita: Wait, what do you mean? Someone come and tell me, are you really coming? ]

In the elevator, I quickly typed on my phone: [Now? Today? Come to Kamihama? ]

Then, someone in the group responded to my question:

[Bing Ling: What else? ]

[Physics Duck: Uncle, Maple has expressed her intention to go this time. She is the only girl in the group that I know of. If she goes, I will definitely go. You must be prepared.]

[Qianfen: Damn, my crappy company doesn’t have holidays, otherwise I would have gone too. I watched the introduction video of that coffee shop last night. They were really pretty, especially Nou’s maid.]

[Kill all Kirito: Could it be that the Noer in the uncle's book was based on that Noer? When I put it into the image in the video, I found that the temperament of the two is exactly the same.]

May 10th is a Friday, which happens to be the week after the May holiday.

Although many companies have taken the May Day holiday, companies that focus on marketing will definitely not miss this golden week, especially businesses - other people are on holiday and want to go out and have fun or buy things, so if you, as a business, also take a holiday, will you make money?

Therefore, most businesses will choose to "adjust holidays" during the three days of May Day, requiring employees to go to work first, and then make up for the holidays after the peak tourist season and consumption peak period are over.

May 10th happens to be the first weekend after May Day. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the days when those employees who work overtime get "adjusted" holidays.

I have to say that Ouyang Xue was very insightful in choosing this time to open the coffee shop, because even if everyone didn't have a holiday on Friday, we could get a feel for it on the first day of opening, and the next day, which was Saturday, would still not have a low flow of people.

[Maple: I'm not the only girl. Aren't Nemu and Kirito girls too? ]

[Qianfen: Kirito is a girl? This joke is not funny. Don’t they play games with microphones on every day?]

[Maple: It could also be a voice changer]

As we were chatting, I saw quite a few people with first-level chat signs popping up in the group.

[B Army: What is the relationship between you, the group leader, and Nuoer, the maid in the cafe? This matter has been circulating online recently]

[Huludao Wu Qilong: It is said that the group leader is Nuo's maid, I don't know whether it is true or not]

[K9999: I joined this group because I heard someone say Nuoer was the group leader, and I even paid to subscribe to this book]

Then, some people in the group who knew me took up the topic -

[Physics Duck: An uncle can’t be a girl, okay? I would believe you if you said that Nuo’er in the coffee shop is his sister, but he is an uncle? Haha, I don’t believe it. He has sent voice messages in 300 games.]

[Maple: I also think that an uncle should be an uncle, but... maybe he can use a voice changer like Kirito-san?]

[Bing Ling: Sister, why are you so sure that Kirito used a voice changer? ]

[Maple: Because she is my roommate, we kept it a secret from everyone...]

"..."

After reading the chat messages, I felt like my little brain was not enough.

When did their relationship become so messy?

Where did the little group I had before... where I would just chat with the group leader through voice chat when nothing happened, and the leader was useless, and I would not subscribe after the novel was updated and still ask the leader to send red envelopes?

Your uncle is no longer the same uncle, don’t come!

"Ding dong..."

Suddenly, the elevator door of the community opened.

“Stop looking at porn pictures!”

Yin Xiamo on the side took my hand and said, "Am I not sexy enough?"

“Is this a problem with the porn picture?!”

I put away my phone. “My main readers are really going to come to the coffee shop, and the promotional video of Tongmeng.com has such a high number of views. How can I… face them…”

"I know that this group of readers have been following you for several years and have developed feelings for you. You have also been pretending to be a man for your own safety."

Elodie beside him yawned: "But, Nuoer, some things should be confessed."

"And you have to be mentally prepared. That video is very popular right now. There should be quite a few people coming to the coffee shop today, including some big anchors. Your novel traffic will reach a new high in the next few days, and more people will join the reader group."

Elodie looked down at my fresh-style "cartoonist" sweatshirt and skirt.

"Your uncle's image will definitely not be maintained any longer."

"Pen name...it's time to change it."

"..."

……

No. 117 was too shy so he brought a shield with him.

As a southern city, the sky in Kamihama City was already almost bright at around seven o'clock.

We walked south along Xingxing Road, climbed a small slope, and arrived at the entrance of the commercial street. Yin Xiamo, Elodie and I were just in time to bathe in the faint rays of the rising sun breaking through the horizon.

In fact, when I was working in the coffee shop these days, I saw a similar scene almost every morning.

The east side of this small slope is the Kamigahama River. The morning sun slowly rises from the horizon, casting its warm and beautiful light all over the world, sprinkling brilliant golden light on the surface of the Kamigahama River, the sea not far away, and the merchant ships and passenger ships on the coast.

Whenever I see this scene, I feel deeply moved, feeling the warmth and beauty that is like a new life.

Especially... when the not-so-hot morning sunlight shines obliquely on the lake and the sea, it will make the water there sparkling and golden.

There are many fishing boats and yachts on the Kamijuma River, and a large number of passenger and cruise ships anchored at the estuary. In between the two is the Kamijuma Cruiser, a free "historical museum" opened by the Kamijuma City Government. On one side are civilian recreational boats, and on the other are formal large ships, giving a feeling of "reflection on the left hand, time on the right hand".

What impressed me most was that the position where the sun rises every morning happens to be the mouth of the Shenbin River, which can separate the recreational fishing boats and yachts on the left from the cruise ships and merchant ships on the right that support the operation of this super-large city, making the area near the river mouth extremely bright. Standing at a high point like a coffee shop and looking down, it is like looking at some kind of new life and hope.

The "Kamihama Cruiser" is located right at the mouth of the Kamhama River and is directly exposed to the sunlight.

In the world war that year, the Kamijama cruiser was one of the few surviving warships. Without the people's sacrifice of their lives and blood in that era, we would not have the peaceful life we ​​have today. The Kamijama cruiser is a heroic warship that survived from that era. Although seventy or eighty years have passed, this heroic warship is already rusty, but it still stands proudly at the estuary, like a guardian angel, guarding the tranquility near this sea area.

Behind the cruiser Kamihama is the sun.

On the left is the Shenbin River, which represents the peaceful times for the common people, where they can go fishing by the river, go fishing and swimming on fishing boats, invite friends and family to take a boat to cross the river, or play on a yacht. On the right are the ports and various merchant ships that represent the prosperity of the country. In the middle is the sun, and the heroic warships of that year.

I think if the poets of that time, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, could live to this day and see such beautiful scenery, they would inevitably compose a poem, right?

"Isn't the location of her coffee shop so beautiful? This is probably the highest point nearby."

"The commercial street at the back hasn't been built yet, but it looks like it should be very large... Wow, it's amazing that they built this store here."

"The greening is also very good. This banyan tree must be hundreds of years old, right?"

What surprised me was that there were already quite a few people in the coffee shop and the door was already open.

Not only in the open space on the slope and under the trees, but also on the tree stump tables and chairs placed at the entrance of the coffee shop, there were several young ladies taking pictures with their mobile phones.

Several Maine Coon cats and Ragdoll cats, which are very friendly to humans, even swaggered out of the store and kept acting coquettishly around the crowd outside.

Dingman, Maomao, Nuomi... well, they are always there when we are naughty, and now they are brave enough to run out of the house on their own initiative.

"What kind of cat is this? Isn't it too big?"

"Can I touch them? They look so polite..."

"I almost forgot this is a cat cafe. When I saw that ad, my attention was all on the maid."

Compared to last night, there is a long street stall with exquisite colors, extending from the end of the small slope all the way to the entrance of the coffee shop. Next to the life-size stand of Yin Xiamo and me at the entrance, there are several more billboards such as "Kamihama Maid Cat Cafe Officially Opened", "5% off for seven days from May 10th to May 5th", and "Free petting of all kittens in the store".

Through the gaps between the flowers, plants and leaves outside, you can see that there are quite a few people sitting in the store.

"It looks like today is indeed a battle day."

Elodie, who was standing next to him, saw this and yawned loudly: "I wanted to wait until no one was around and eat some snacks..."

"Looking at this situation, let alone snacks, it feels like a blessing to be able to take a breath during the peak period."

I took out my phone with a headache and glanced at the time: "It's not even 7:30..."

What does it mean that there are so many people near the coffee shop at 7:30 in the morning?

This is definitely a sign of an explosion in the number of people during the peak period...

Because the area near the Minami Nagi district is relatively remote and transportation is not very convenient, not many people come here usually. Most of them are individual visitors from the neighboring Shenbin River or the artisan district further behind. These days, I usually arrive at the coffee shop at around 7:40 or 7:50 in the morning, then go upstairs to change clothes and go to work on time at 8 o'clock.

Although I usually change my clothes and start working at eight o'clock, in most cases I am quite idle between eight and ten o'clock. My basic work is to clean, comb the cats' hair, and check if there are any faults in the automatic feeder and automatic water dispenser. No customer ever comes to the store to eat around eight o'clock.

As the kitchen was expanded and the dishes were gradually improved, Ouyang Xue launched the "breakfast series" of the coffee house, such as steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and rice noodle rolls. However, most customers who come to the store to eat these dishes usually arrive after 10 o'clock. In fact, if you put yourself in their shoes, you will understand that the location of the coffee house is not the type where office workers can come to eat before work. The customers who come in the morning are almost all of that kind... It's a rare holiday, and I want to go somewhere else to relax and unwind. Where should I go? There is a new coffee house here. I will try it tomorrow.

No crazy person would set the alarm for six o'clock on holidays, then get up, pack their things, take the bus or subway to the starting point, and come to the coffee shop at eight o'clock just to have breakfast here.

Everyone likes to sleep in during holidays. Even if you go out to play, you will sleep until nine or ten o'clock, and then get up slowly.

There is only one possibility for so many people to be around the coffee shop before 8 o'clock, and that is that the advertisement that the store manager Ouyang Xue placed on Tongmeng.com was too effective.

I tried to open the phone screen, turned the brightness to the highest, and opened the Tongmeng.com app. Before I could watch the video, a prompt "New Message 99+" popped up in the upper right corner.

I have a newly registered account with few followers, but I received 99+ new messages in one night?

As Yin Xiamo, Elodie and I walked towards the coffee shop, I quickly clicked on the 99+ prompt in the upper right corner of my personal message.

Then I realized... I was still too young.

The display of 99+ is only because the APP can only display 99+ at most. After clicking in... you will have 999+ new fans, 99+ comments, and 999+ likes.

Last night, he posted the "Cat Head: Shocked" emoticon package under the "Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe PV" produced by Ouyang Xue. Without saying a word, this account directly gained more than 2 fans and more than 3000 likes.

I randomly flipped through the comments, and most of them were things like "group photo", "Is that her?", "Is there really such a cute girl?", "Maid sister, please."

Following these likes, I reopened the promotional video and saw that it had been played more than 300,000 times.

The video was played more than 24 times in less than hours after it was released. This...

Then, I noticed several comments and comments on the video——
