I will never give in to Miss Death

"It's going to be a tough battle in the coffee shop today, don't keep your online fans waiting for too long."

"..."

……

No. 139's value suddenly increased

It was a Saturday morning in Minaminagi Ward, Kamihama City, and it was unexpectedly quiet.

This place is obviously different from the Chuo Ward. Based on my experience of living in the Chuo Ward of Kamihama City for so many years, the number of people there is slightly smaller only during the rush hour on Sundays, and there is not much difference between Saturdays and weekdays.

Because people in the city have already tacitly accepted that Saturday is a working day, and the rest system of most private companies is to take one day off a week or take a break during the week, so everyone can work as usual on Saturday.

However, Saturday in Minaminagi Ward really made me feel what a "day off" means.

"I always feel like there are fewer people around me today."

"It's Saturday, everyone is at home sleeping in at this time."

"But Noer still went to work."

“To save money to buy a house.”

"I'm so touched... Nuo'er actually worked so hard for our wedding room."

"Humph, I'm not doing this for you."

"So arrogant, my hair is standing up."

"..."

Walking on the street outside the community with Yin Xiamo, compared with the previous days when I came here to work, I can obviously feel that there are fewer passers-by, and even the number of customers going to the roadside breakfast shops to eat has decreased a lot.

For example, there was the breakfast shop that I really liked to go to a few days ago, which sold noodle rolls that allowed people to wrap and eat by themselves. This kind of shop is a typical county-style bungalow-style private shop. It is very large, but the decoration is very simple. Many of the chairs and tables in the shop are "heirlooms" and they are shining from being sat on. At this time in the morning when I came out of the community, there would usually be a dozen customers dining in this shop, but today there were only three or four people, and it looked empty at a glance.

"Girl, why are you so early today?"

Obviously, maybe because my appearance was too cute and eye-catching, the boss lady of the breakfast shop recognized me and greeted me from a distance: "Are you going to work today too?"

"Yes, we are taking a day off."

I waved to the old couple as a greeting: "We are closed on Monday!"

We chatted a little when I came to buy rice noodles before. They knew that I had joined the ranks of "office workers" at a young age, and I also knew that they were a well-known "couple with a love stronger than gold" - just as Elodie said, the couple did not expect to make money by selling breakfast when opening the shop. Their son in the city made a fortune and would send them living expenses on a regular basis every month. The reason why they had never left Nannai District and got up every morning to open the shop to sell breakfast was because they couldn't bear to leave the folks here.

"Oh, be careful on the road!"

"Uh-huh!"

As time entered May, the temperature in Kamihama City gradually became hotter.

When I went to the comic exhibition at the convention center, the weather forecast showed that the highest temperature was less than 32 degrees, and the average daily temperature remained at around 27 degrees. Now the average temperature has exceeded 30 degrees, and the highest temperature is close to 40 degrees. Even in the morning, it is still very hot.

Ah...by the way, why is Yin Xiamo the God of Death instead of the "Ice God"?

In that case, even if she didn't say anything, I would probably take the initiative to get close to her in such weather.

"So early?"

We walked along the familiar path through the cobblestone boulevard, and checked the coconut trees that had just been planted yesterday. Then Yin Xiamo and I arrived at the familiar coffee shop. When we opened the door, we saw Elodie, who was cleaning the store with an expression that looked like she could fall asleep at any moment.

What surprised me was that there were several strange cars parked outside the coffee shop. They looked very expensive and I had no idea who drove them.

"Did the new editor Mint tell you about the things to pay attention to when signing the new book last night?"

Elodie in the store yawned: "The distribution should be completed, right?"

"Well, I read the group rules, they are similar to Rabbit's. I will keep updating them later."

I nodded and looked around the coffee shop: "You've been at work for almost 24 hours, is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter. There weren't many customers last night."

"Okay then, let's switch shifts."

At this time, several young men were lying on some chairs in the coffee shop. They gave people the feeling of being "kicked out by their wives" or "having no money for accommodation", and looked quite down and out.

Admission to the Shangjing Maid Cat Cafe is free, and it also provides some free drinking water and porridge, so when Ouyang Xue was on night shift these days, some people would occasionally come in to take advantage of the "accommodation fee", but most people would leave on their own accord at dawn the next day.

"Meow--"

While chatting with Elodie, Timon, sensing my presence, trotted down from the second floor. His little head kept rubbing against my ankles. I had no choice but to half-kneel down and rub the top of the big cat's head. "How did you sleep last night?"

"Meow."

"Have you gotten used to the new environment?"

"Meow……"

The name Timon comes from a very old cartoon "The Lion King". The prototype is an animal called meerkat, and it has a very good companion called Pumbaa. If I remember correctly, "The Lion King" also had a spin-off called "The Adventures of Timon and Pumbaa". Timon in it has a very famous line or spell - Akula Matata!

It is said that the cat owner named this Maine Coon Timon because it is very talkative. People who have raised cats know that cats will not meow at home unless they are hungry or have some needs. Most "meows" are made by people to tease cats, but Timon is completely the opposite. He likes to meow when he has nothing to do. He will respond when people meow. Even if people don't meow, he will meow when he is having fun, just like the talkative Timon in "The Lion King".

But I didn’t find the cat “Pumbaa” among the cats brought in by Ouyang Xue. I don’t know if there was no cat originally and the original owner only had Timon, or if there is some sad story behind it.

"There's something I think I need to tell you."

While I was interacting with Timon, Elodie, who was dressed in a maid outfit, put a broom in the corner of the coffee shop, yawned, and pointed at the cars outside: "Do you recognize what model that is?"

"what?"

I stopped touching Timon's hand and turned to the outside of the coffee shop: "Is it a sports car?"

I don't know much about cars.

When I was an uncle, my salary was barely enough to support myself, so I would never consider things like RVs, so I would never think about learning about this knowledge.

I have the impression that most boys have an instinctive love for cars, just like most boys like guns, but I don’t know if I am reincarnated as a hero and there are no cars in the other world, or if my salary is too low to pay attention to it. I have never known anything about the types and models of cars, and I can’t even recognize all the car logos.

The most I can do is to judge based on the appearance of the car: “This should be an ordinary car,” “This is probably a taxi,” “This is a van,” “This is a Wuling Hongguang,” and I can’t do anything more complicated than that.

Precisely because I am not very fond of cars, I have always used bicycles as my means of transportation.

Bicycles can go anywhere and there is no traffic jam. It is perfect for ordinary office workers like me who only need to go out to buy groceries.

By the way...it's time to bring back the bicycle I had in my small apartment, before it gets stolen.

"It is said that it is a luxury car worth several million dollars, but I don't know."

On the first floor of the coffee shop, Elodie yawned again: "Just now, around seven o'clock, a few men came in those cars, saying they were directors of some group or something, and asked to see you. I said Nuo'er hadn't come to work so early, so I asked them to sit on the first floor for a while. Before they even sat down, they complained that there were so many people sleeping on the first floor, so they went upstairs to drink tea."

"You asked to see me?"

I was a little confused: "Did they say their names?"

Director of what group? I don't know this kind of person...

"No, but I think they were attracted here after you became popular on the Internet yesterday. Those people gave me the impression that they were playboys."

Elodie turned her gaze to Yin Xiamo who was beside me: "Xiaomo, why are you clenching your fists?"

"Ah? No, not at all."

Yin Xiamo smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Nuo'er is popular."

Really? Why do I feel like you are ready to open the void gate and take out your sickle to chop people at any time?

I stood up and asked: "Is he upstairs now?"

"Yes, he's upstairs."

Elodie walked towards the staircase leading to the second floor: "You can talk to them yourself."

Row.

Following Elodie up to the second floor, I saw several young men drinking coffee at the largest dining table here.

There were three of them in total, and their attire was obviously different from that of ordinary people I knew. They exuded an "upper-class" aura from head to toe, and seemed like they were from a completely different world than I was.

"Noer! Over here!"

Seeing me going upstairs, one of them immediately waved over here: "Here, here! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Although I had roughly guessed the purpose of their visit, I still smiled and walked over: "Would you like a refill of coffee?"

"No, not about the coffee."

The young man who spoke wore a gorgeous watch and was dressed very respectably, but his tone was a little frivolous: "I would like to ask if you sell maids here?"

"This gentleman..."

I smiled and tried to maintain my composure: "Please don't make such a joke."

"No, I'm serious."

The young man took out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to me: "I heard that when the store manager first hired you, he only offered you a salary of tens of thousands a month. So, how much does your store manager pay you? I'll pay three times more than her. If there is any penalty, I'll pay it."

"And little sister Xia Mo too."

At this point, the young man turned to Yin Xiamo and said, "If you also intend to change jobs, contact me directly. I will also triple your salary."

Eh? What is this called?

I've only been working for a few days and someone's poaching me? And this happened when Ouyang Xue was sick?

"Or if you like, you can get in the car and go with us now. Our legal team will take care of the contract."

Seeing that I didn’t say anything, the young man pointed outside the coffee shop and said, “Did you see those cars? The starting price is at least 8 million.”

Are you sure you are here to poach people?

"Thank you very much for your invitation and appreciation, but I am not considering working elsewhere in the short term."

Under the frivolous gazes of several people, I handed the young man's business card back: "Sorry."

"It's okay, you can keep it. You can come to me if you change your mind."

The other party did not take back the business card, but walked past Yin Xiamo and me and said, "If it's about money, we can discuss it slowly. Call me when we have figured it out."

After saying that, the men went down the stairs.

"Nuo'er has been favored by a wealthy bachelor."

Elodie on the side joked: "People are afraid of becoming famous just like kittens are afraid of becoming big."

"No, I have absolutely no interest in changing jobs right now, and what they said was very vague and suspicious."

I casually threw the business card into the trash can beside me. "I'll just work as a maid in the coffee shop, and then go home to write novels at night and live an ordinary life."

"Hey, isn't this Brother Zhao? Why are you here drinking coffee so early in the morning?"

As he was speaking, Su Yunjin's voice came from downstairs.

Then came the voices of the young men: "Su Yunjin? Why are you here?"

"I'll come over for tea, okay?"

"Haha, I remember that your Tongmeng Network owns shares in this coffee shop. Don't I know what you are planning?"

"Oh? Then tell me, what is my plan?"

"Forget it, let's go."

"Go slowly, and don't drive such an expensive car next time. It would be bad if it gets bumped into something."

"..."

After a while, Su Yunjin came up from the first floor: "Nuo'er, it's so early."

"Don't you, a rich second generation, have to go to work?"

“The sun isn’t even out yet,” I said as I put the contents of my bag behind my workbench.

"No, I came here today mainly to check on the progress of those coconut trees. I heard that a rich man sponsored us yesterday. This is the first time we have received investment."

Su Yunjin came to me and Yin Xiamo.

"Nuo'er, your connections... I am increasingly confused. Tell me the truth, do you know any important people?"

"I also know the Dark Messenger of another world, the Hero and the Demon King of another world, and the God of Death of this world."

I pointed at Yin Xiamo: "Now you know her too."
