I will never give in to Miss Death

I vaguely remember that when I was in college, our main subject teacher once said very confidently: "In the future, less than 20% of the students in this class will choose to continue working in their current jobs."

The teacher used the word "select" instead of "find", and his meaning was very clear. For example, in the "Software Technology" major of the School of Information Engineering, if there are 20 students in a class, then only 20%, or 4 people, will eventually become "programmers". The rest will either go to factories, deliver food, or change careers.

The university I attend is very ordinary - ordinary campus, ordinary major, ordinary classmates.

The only unusual thing is probably me, a fatherless and motherless student who needs to rely on student loans and work-study programs to graduate successfully.

And the fact is just as the teacher said back then, very few of us college students eventually choose to work as a full-time job.

Most ordinary college students are very confused after studying in school for three or four years. It is good enough if a company is willing to accept them, because they have no background or connections. The school has a hard indicator of "employment rate". If they can't find a job, they won't be given a diploma. Many people have no choice but to work in industries such as milk tea shops and restaurants where there is a huge gap in recruitment. It's better to get a diploma first than to work in a factory.

So basically, students who are not graduates from famous universities have worked as waiters and worked in milk tea shops. They have a certain understanding of some of the popular desserts on the market. As long as they are shown the recipe and familiarize themselves with it for a day or two, they can basically make the corresponding milk tea.

Elodie is obviously someone who has worked as a waitress in a milk tea shop or is a person in society who has some knowledge of this thing.

Through the manuscripts left by Elodie in the coffee shop on the second floor, compared with the original manuscripts of the milk tea coffee shop in the coffee shop, checked the various machines on the workbench, and looked up the desserts with the highest order rate from customers yesterday, I got a rough idea of ​​the revenue situation of the coffee shop.

At present, the best-selling desserts in the store are all "classics", including the signature pearl milk tea, grass jelly, and mango green milk tea, while coffee has relatively low sales. The sales of the most popular "Rabbit Coffee" are less than half of those of grass jelly.

[Brothers, I'm back. This PV is really not a lie. The signature maid of this store is even cuter than the one in the video.]

[The only question now is whether this girl named Nuo'er is really an adult. If not, then they are illegally employing child labor. If she is an adult... then it's really a sure win, a perfect legal loli.]

[But since this official account was able to successfully purchase official promotion from Tongmeng.com, it is unlikely that it employed child labor]

There are not many people coming to the coffee shop to eat at around 7 or 8 in the morning. Even if there are, they are on the first floor and Xia Mo is in charge of entertaining them, so I can first familiarize myself with the use of the various tools here on the workbench, and by the way, open the APP that connects the mobile phone to the coffee shop system, and open Tongmeng.com to check the comment section of Ouyang Xue's video.

What surprised me was that the promotional video of the coffee shop had already reached 100 million views today, and it was about to reach 200 million. The comments under the video were also varied, and most of them were positive.

[At the scene, if you don’t believe me, you can watch my video. It was recorded with my phone, and the beauty filter was not turned on at all. Nuoer is simply a little angel]

[Their store manager was also very hardworking. He stood in the sun to supervise the workers even though he had a fever. He finally fainted and Nuoer took him to the hospital.]

[Yes, I was there yesterday too. I noticed a small detail. The first thing little Loli Noer did after returning from the hospital was to go to the second floor to take a shower, change clothes, and disinfect. I was really moved.]

[Are you all paying attention to Nuoer? That maid named Xia Mo is also super pretty, okay? Her legs are really suitable for white stockings.]

Compared to the comments section, the comments on the promotional video are mostly harmonious and applauding.

[Noer, go, go, go! ]

[I got a 50% discount card, and I came here to fulfill my wish]

[I saw Nuoer, checked in as a souvenir, I will go to pet the cat for free tomorrow]

Switching to the homepage of Tongmeng.com, I found that the promotional video of the coffee shop was still hanging in the most conspicuous position on the homepage.

Thinking about what Su Yunjin said just now, I finally understood how powerful the power behind the coffee shop is, and why such a video is worth Tongmeng.com spending so many resources to promote.

Of course, in today's Internet environment, the sudden popularity of the "Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe" has also aroused the disgust of many people. There are many abusive comments and barrages in the video, but overall it is still quite harmonious.

Clicking on the "Xiao Xia Nuo Doesn't Hide in Cardboard Boxes" dynamic area that Xia Mo and I co-created, I saw a dynamic I posted in the hospital yesterday afternoon about Ouyang Xue's illness and hospitalization. The most praised comment in the comment area was this:

[If you want to see Nuoer's bare feet photos in white stockings, like me and I will go up so that Nuoer can see them]

This makes me neither cry nor laugh.

It seems like they don't care about Ouyang Xue's illness at all...

Although... well, considering that this is the comment section of my own account, this generation of netizens... is quite normal.

After completing the routine preparation work, I closed the Tongmeng.com APP and lowered my head slightly to take a look at my legs wrapped in white silk stockings under my maid skirt.

Wearing this kind of socks when doing activities is obviously different from the clothes that men wear.

It’s like... they will always remind you... that you are already a girl, you are very cute, super cute, extremely cute, just like the heroine in an anime.

I can’t describe this feeling specifically, but… these days when I was working in the coffee shop, feeling the wrapping of the stockings on my legs and the flowing feeling of the skirt around my waist, my “self-confidence” seemed to be easily stimulated.

When I was still an uncle, I didn’t care much about dressing, and I was used to the fact that I was an ordinary person when I went out. But it was different when I worked in a coffee shop. Wearing this kind of clothes while working here, I always felt more confident and optimistic, and my whole mood became happier.

"Hmm? Your name is... Xia Mo, right? Where's the little Lolita in the promotional video?"

"Second floor? Okay, I want to take a photo with you guys, and then play with the kittens here. Petting the cats is free, right?"

While I was sorting out materials on the second floor, many customers who had heard the news had already come in to the first floor.

Unlike yesterday's customers who were obviously just testing the waters, the people who came today were much more relaxed and their purpose was very clear.

Judging from the surveillance images and sounds transmitted back from the camera on the first floor on the mobile phone, the customers entering the store during this period of time are all here for the "cute maids", and most of them are young people.

Today is May 5th, Saturday, the first day of the weekend. If yesterday was Friday and no one had much time off, and because the new store opened and passers-by didn't know the specific situation inside and didn't dare to enter to experience it, then today is probably the "explosion period" of customer traffic in the coffee shop.

On the first day of the new store, the major websites promoted it vigorously, and many people were waiting and watching. Most of those who came were those who had relatively free time or lived near Kamihama City, or were big anchors who made a living from this. It was normal that there were few people, but after these anchors' "mine detection", the quality and service of the coffee shop were recognized, the number of PV playbacks of the promotion on Tongmeng.com continued to rise, and the discussion about the coffee shop soared. I don’t need to think about it to know... how terrifying the number of people coming to the store today must be.

"Wow! It's exactly like in the video!"

"Finally I saw the real person!"

"Go ahead, I'm going to start recording. I don't believe you dare to say it."

"What's there to be afraid of? I, I...I want to be Miss Noel's dog!"

"..."

Then, after the coffee shop became popular, I had to face various situations.

"Eh……"

Facing several male netizens who rushed to the store early in the morning to record videos on the second floor, I was stunned for a moment and tried my best to act like "I have also experienced many ups and downs": "But I like cats."

"Meow meow meow!"

Then the group of boys went crazy: "Meow meow meow!"

"I'm a cat, I'm a cat!"

"I can still be a mouse, and Miss Noel's cat can eat me however she wants!"

Then comes the classic noisy time.

"Would you like some coffee or milk tea? We also have small cakes and juice!"

“Bunny coffee is coffee with a bunny pattern.”

"The pattern can be customized, but... maybe I'm not very good at drawing."

"It's free to interact with the kittens, but it's best to pay attention to the cat's fur. If you need to use a cat teaser or a hair remover, you will need to pay to rent the items..."

Just as Ouyang Xue and I expected, the number of customers in the coffee shop increased dramatically after nine o'clock in the morning, starting with this group of netizens who came from afar after watching the Tongmeng.com video.

Compared with the large groups of couples and family trios that came before, today almost all the customers who came into the store to shop were groups of college students and netizens.

They came in groups of three or five, most of them carrying travel bags, and it looked like they had traveled a long way just to come here to see Xia Mo and me and experience the "high-end cat cafe".

"Little sister Nuoer, can I interview you?"

"Hello, I'm a streamer on Tongmeng.com. This is my account. Would you like to follow me?"

"Wow, this is the new internet-famous coffee shop? The atmosphere is quite good, there are so many cats, and there are free drinks? This is... plum juice?"

"To be honest, most of the Internet celebrity check-in spots are flashy and superficial. This place is different. It's solid, with food and drinks, clean, and a good environment."

In addition to netizens and college students, there are obviously a lot more anchors entering the store today than yesterday. Many people can't wait to go straight to Xia Mo to ask for a photo as soon as they come in. After taking the photos, they go straight to the second floor to find me. Finally, they savor the food and cats in the coffee shop and are impressed by the food and service here.

If I didn't have a certain amount of knowledge about the second dimension, and I often checked my own reader group and those few live groups, and knew a lot of popular elements and memes on the Internet, I probably wouldn't be able to cope with these influxes of netizens.

Ouyang Xue’s vision was right. For the maids recruited by the coffee shop, it was not enough to just be cute or pretty.

If the girl has no idea about the two-dimensional culture and popular memes, and has a serious personality, if a boy comes over and says "I'm Miss XX's dog!", she will probably think it's a mockery and won't be able to help but show a disgusted expression or even curse. This will lead to an extremely awkward situation. Then, once these netizens go back and tell the story and post the video, everyone may think that the maids here are boring and won't come next time.

Moreover, after working for a morning, I also found that the college students and netizens who came here today because of the video had a much higher willingness to pay than the couples and passers-by nearby yesterday.

Ouyang Xue's business philosophy of "free is the most expensive" was thoroughly applied at this moment.

It is free to enter the cafe, to pet the cats, and even to provide free drinking water and beverages. However, if you want to eat, take photos with the maids, or play with and feed the cats, you have to pay.

This is the same as the operating strategy of some free games.

Contemporary college students and netizens have almost become accustomed to the online game system - you can enter the game and play casually, and you will get fashions in the game, but the fashions are ugly, so you have to spend money if you want a good-looking character, and you will get equipments for completing tasks. It is not impossible to use this equipment to complete daily tasks, but it is slow, and you have to spend money if you want to kill monsters in one second.

Young people who have been exposed to various free games obviously have a different consumption concept from their parents' generation.

Yesterday, many parents brought their children to play and pet cats. When they saw their children playing with cats, they basically told them to be careful not to be scratched or bitten by the cats, and never mentioned any money-related items. However, the college students who came today were completely different. When they saw it, they saw that renting a cat toy stick cost one dollar? So cheap! Why don’t we just buy one and consider it as supporting the maid sister? This bag of dried fish only costs five dollars? So cheap! Buy ten bags and consider it as a reward!

And then unknowingly... even if they didn't eat in the restaurant, a plate of fried chicken without milk tea or milk tea, just petting cats and taking photos, etc., would cost dozens or even hundreds of dollars per person.

In addition, the reward system on the big screen in the center of the store was ringing non-stop throughout the whole process, and from time to time someone would give a reward of five or ten yuan. It gave me the feeling that... it was like rewarding a virtual anchor.

Although Xia Mo and I in the coffee shop can indeed be considered idols in a certain sense.

"..."

"Finally I can take a break."

Starting from nine in the morning, I made milk tea and coffee, helped to carry small cakes in the kitchen on the first floor, and also introduced various cat services to the customers on the second floor and took photos with them. I was busy until two in the afternoon when I finally couldn't stand it anymore. I asked Chef Wang for a "special lunch exclusively for Nuoer", hung a sign on the workbench that said "I'm going to have lunch, wait a moment, I'll be back soon", and went to the employee lounge to eat.

"Well... it's hard."

While eating, in a hurry, I didn’t even have time to look at my phone. I just wolfed down the “special lunch” on the table as gracefully as possible.

"Honey."

When we were halfway through the meal, Yin Xiamo, who was supposed to be introducing the cats on the first floor, pushed the door open and walked in: "Your friend is here."

"Jiang Wei?"

I swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "Got it. Ask him to wait for a moment."

"Eat slowly."

Walking over to me and sitting on the bed with me, Yin Xiamo seemed a little happy: "I'll feel bad if you choke."

I glared at the guy and said, "I'm not so stupid that I can't even eat."

"By the way..."

After looking at me for a while, Yin Xiamo said softly, "You remind me of thousands of years ago, when I was still that weak and pitiful little devil abandoned by my family and picked up by the brave man in the ruins."

"Ok?"

I turned my head away: "I'm just having a meal, how can you still remember something that happened so long ago..."

"At that time, the hero's hometown was destroyed. The surrounding area was a sea of ​​fire for dozens of miles. There was nothing to eat. I was hungry for more than a week."

Yin Xiamo sighed, "Then that idiot found me and gave me food, just like coaxing a pet - eat it, even though it's not good food, but at least it can fill my stomach."

I looked at the food in front of me, scooped up a mouthful of rice, and handed it to Yin Xiamo.

"Ok?"

Yin Xiamo was a little curious: "What are you doing?"

"Eat."

I imitated her expression just now: "Although it's not a good food, at least it can fill my stomach."

"puff……"

The girl in front of him couldn't help laughing: "Not at all."

"How can it be similar? I'm not that person, and you turned me into this... a little loli. Even if I speak in the same tone, it won't sound the same."

I put on an expression that said, "How dare you, the culprit, say that?" "Can you blame me for this?"

Just when I was about to take the spoon back, the girl next to me just bit off the spoon and ate the rice on it.

"Mm, it smells like Nuoer, so fragrant."

Yin Xiamo's speech was a little slurred because she was eating: "It feels like home."

“You really ate it…”

I reluctantly put the spoon back into the rice bowl.

"Of course, it's called indirect kissing."

"Cough cough..."

I looked at the spoon in the rice bowl: "Your spoon... doesn't have any special functions, right? Like making people's heart beat faster, their face turn red, or their body get hot, etc.?"

"What? I'm not a succubus."

Yin Xiamo said innocently: "Demons and succubi are completely different species, okay?"

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, that's right, demons are much more powerful than succubi!"
