I will never give in to Miss Death

Yin Xiamo winked at me and said, "I'll go give it to Master Wang first. Don't eat the spicy noodles on the second floor."

"Know it."

Understanding that she was hinting at the start of the plan, I nodded calmly, took the note upstairs, entered the workbench, and began looking for coffee powder.

After a while, Yin Xiamo also came up, and I quickly called her: "By the way, I have another request."

"Ok?"

The girl took some spicy noodles from the snack cabinet next to her and said, "What's your request?"

I said seriously, "In order to prevent you from playing tricks like last time, I need you to keep in touch with me during this time, preferably with video."

"Eh?"

Yin Xiamo was stunned: "There may not be a signal on the sea surface?"

"Anyway, I have to keep the video on. If there's no signal, there's no signal, but I hope I can still see you when there is a signal."

I said as I ground the coffee for the bear below me: “Is that okay?”

"OK then."

Perhaps realizing that she was wrong for "breaking the appointment" last time, Yin Xiamo nodded and took out her phone: "Then I'll send you a video invitation."

"it is good."

"beep--"

The next second, the phone under my skirt received a video request from Yin Xiamo.

accept.

"Okay, I'm going to ask Sister Ouyang for leave now."

Holding the phone, Yin Xiamo waved to me: "See you in the afternoon!"

"Be careful..."

Although I knew Yin Xiamo would not "disappear" again this time, I still chased her a few steps with my coffee in hand, feeling a little worried: "If it doesn't work, come back. Compared to the coffee shop, I...I hope you are safe and sound."

"It's okay, it's just a small problem."

The girl ran down the stairs with small steps, "da da da da". "I'm so touched. It turns out that I have such a high status in Nuo'er's heart."

"I just don't want someone to die and have no one to do the laundry when I go home tonight!"

Saying this dejectedly, I returned to the workbench and continued to grind the coffee Xiongxiong wanted, then added hot water and stirred it.

A few minutes later, I put the coffee on a plate and went downstairs.

Xiongxiong seemed to be still chatting with her two bodyguards. When she saw me coming over, she raised her hand happily: "What a rich aroma! Are the coffee beans here imported?"

"Yes."

I put the plate on the table and pointed to the cubes of sugar and condensed milk next to the steaming coffee: "If you think it's too bitter, you can add these."

"It's okay. I don't even put sugar in my coffee back home."

As they were talking, Yin Xiamo ran out from the kitchen not far away and ran out of the coffee shop with the sound of "tat tat tat".

"Noel."

Then, Ouyang Xue also came out: "Do you want to take her to the hospital? It seems that she has a stomachache."

"It's an old problem."

I quickly pretended to know her well and said, "Our home is not far away. We have medicine. Just take some medicine and rest. I'll be fine."

"Well... okay, call her from time to time to check on her situation, and don't make a fuss like I did before."

Probably because she felt that she had no right to say such things, Ouyang Xue smiled helplessly: "I bought that bag of spicy strips specifically for Elodie. They were very spicy, but she insisted on eating them. Now, here we go."

"I'll call and laugh at her in a minute."

Seeing that Ouyang Xue didn't suspect anything, I went upstairs with the food tray and took out my cell phone.

However, the scene on the mobile phone video call at this moment made me stunned.

Yin Xiamo, who was wearing a maid outfit... had already rushed out of the ocean. No one knew what kind of magic she had used, but she was like a torpedo, causing a terrible wave in an uninhabited sea area. The piercing sonic boom made the phone vibrate constantly.

I quickly turned off the sound.

——I hope this guy is safe.

"..."

……

No. 172 The mysterious power from the East

Ouyang Xue was busy in the coffee shop as usual until around 2:00 p.m., when she began using the store's broadcasting equipment and large LCD screen to send messages to the customers around her.

"Dear customers, our restaurant is occupied by a newly married couple this afternoon, so we are about to start decorating the wedding hall. Customers who have not finished dining please hurry up and eat."

"If there are customers who wish to bless the newlyweds, please go to table 1 on the first floor for dinner. All meals and drinks are free..."

"..."

However, compared to this wedding, I was more worried about Yin Xiamo, who had not appeared on my phone screen for several hours.

Just as we discussed before going out, there is no mobile phone signal on the sea. What's more, Yin Xiamo needs to run along the sea south of Kamihama City towards the Pacific Ocean in the southeast. The straight-line distance alone is more than a thousand kilometers. It is impossible to have a signal base station in a place like this located in the endless sea and far away from land and human activity areas.

I even suspect that Yin Xiamo had been to a place like this before.

Either they are on the sea, or deep in the ground, or they have gone abroad, or to another world.

Even though Yin Xiamo kept saying that there was no problem and even cited the example of the "highest-level magician in another world" to reassure me, I don't know why, every time I encountered a situation where Xiaomo was not around, I couldn't calm down.

As a result, my "energy value" was not that high when I was working in the coffee shop. Ouyang Xue complained to me the whole time, "Nuo'er, why do you feel like Sora and Shiro in "No Game No Life"? You become shy when Yin Xiamo is far away from you."

I don’t know how to refute this because I know that this is indeed my situation recently.

As soon as Xiaomo left, I always felt like something was missing around me, and the world always seemed empty and a little insecure.

Before leaving, Yin Xiamo once compared the typhoon in this world to that in the other world, saying that in the other world, only a few "highest-level magicians" were needed to create a typhoon, and the demon king in the other world could easily kill these magicians. Then she killed the demon king, using this as an analogy to say that she was "very strong."

However, without a clear concept of the magic and laws of the other world, I still couldn't figure out exactly where Xiaomo's "strength" lay.

I just hope nothing happens to her, really nothing happens to her.

In my impression, typhoons are natural disasters, and when natural disasters strike, humans have almost no means of resistance and can only escape.

The scale of this typhoon is only relatively strong at present. If it is a super typhoon, not to mention the ships in Minami Nagi Port, even the buildings on land will be destroyed. If humans want to survive, they can only hide in air-raid shelters.

And Yin Xiamo...she now needs to face such a behemoth.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

While Ouyang Xue was decorating the coffee shop for the wedding, the words "No Signal" kept flashing on the screen of the phone in my hand that was connecting with Xiaomo via video.

"When a typhoon comes, how can ordinary people avoid danger? We have invited Professor Sun, a typhoon expert from Kamihama City. Please welcome Professor Sun..."

"Hello, Professor Sun."

"Hey, hello, host."

"Professor Sun, can you tell us how ordinary people like us can ensure our own safety when a typhoon comes?"

"Okay, we in Kamihama are used to typhoons. This time, the typhoon 'Orchid' is quite large. According to the calculations of the Meteorological Observatory, if Orchid lands directly at Minami Nagi Port in Kamihama City, it will cause huge losses to our shipping. A force 11 wind is very scary. If it is stronger, a force 12 wind can even blow up cars..."

At this time, the super-large LCD screen on the first floor was still broadcasting the facts and progress of Typhoon "Orchid". The previous weather forecaster was replaced by a gentle older sister, and the background was switched to a large crystal stage.

"When the weather station issues a red alert, it means that the area may or has been affected by a tropical cyclone within six hours, and the average wind speed reaches above level 6. At this time, we must be careful, go home immediately, close the doors and windows, take back things that are easily blown away from the balcony or windows, pay attention to lightning protection, and it is best not to use televisions, computers and other equipment in heavy rain weather."

"If you can't get home, remember not to take shelter near temporary buildings, billboards, or towers. For example, there is a popular check-in spot in Kamihama City, the Pearl Tower in the central district. Don't go under it on typhoon days. Aren't there many coconut trees near Minami-nagi? Don't take shelter under the trees either. Even though coconuts are so small, they can still knock you unconscious if they fall from such a high place. If you faint in this kind of weather, you will be in danger of death."

"For citizens living by the sea, there is now a tsunami warning, so please pay attention to flood prevention."

Judging from the serious expressions on the faces of the host and the "professor", this typhoon seems to be really terrifying. Although it is still about two days before landing, the city has already issued a red alert in advance and carried out a live TV broadcast on Shenbin TV, paying full attention to the typhoon's developments.

"It looks like there's a wedding going on here? Should we leave?"

"Didn't they say we can stay if we want? It's written on the notice that the bride and groom have already said that if there are guests who want to give their blessings, they can stay in the coffee shop, and all the food and drinks will be on their expense."

"What announcement? I didn't see it."

"It's the official account of Tongmeng.com Cafe. They will announce the names of the maids who will be working one week in advance. If you like a maid, you can come on the day they work. This morning, the official account posted a message saying that there will be a wedding in the afternoon. Those who want to eat for free can stay, so I stayed."

"Don't you have to give a gift money?"

"I don't know about that. They didn't tell me. I'll go over and give them a hundred or two as a symbol. Haha. The main thing is that I really don't want to go back and listen to my mother's nagging. I want to stay here and play with the cat until night."

At the same time, I don’t know if it was affected by the typhoon, but the originally clear sky outside gradually became covered with dark clouds. Through the glass door of the coffee shop, I could see that it was drizzling outside.

"Nuo'er, please arrange the flowers. I'll go take care of the outside."

Pulling a large box of roses over, Ouyang Xue motioned for me to place the flowers on the red carpet on the first floor, and then put away the cartoon murals that were originally hanging on the first floor of the coffee shop.

"Why, are you still worried about Xiaomo?"

Perhaps seeing my worried look, Ouyang Xue said with a smile: "She doesn't give me the impression of someone who falls ill easily."

"Manager, the second floor has been arranged."

Lan Jiajia walked down from the second floor: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"You put these baskets on the table, and these flowers."

Ouyang Xue directed in an orderly manner: "Put the red melon seeds at the bottom, spread them out, put the soft candies and red envelopes on top, and arrange the remaining flowers more beautifully."

"receive."

Lan Jiajia left pushing a cart full of gift baskets.

"I really don't know if the coffee shop can be saved if this typhoon really comes..."

Watching Lan Jiajia walk away, Ouyang Xue sighed: "As expected, man proposes, God disposes. I originally thought that as long as I worked hard enough, I could succeed... at least the situation wouldn't be so bad. Alas."

"I hate this feeling. Either you let me succeed from the beginning, or you let me fail directly. I don't mind starting over again, but this feeling of being praised high after success and then falling down heavily... It's so uncomfortable."

Ouyang Xue turned to me and sat on a chair beside me with a broom. "Nuo'er, do you know? When I was a host, I also played games. I played more crazily than many young people. At that time, a game called Dragon Nest was very popular. There was a hero in it, Gerald. He was a golden dragon. For the sake of the humans in the main city, he swept away countless monsters and resisted wave after wave of monster attacks for the towns and villages. Then he fought the black dragon and killed the sea monster. Because of the high consumption, he was finally killed by the sea dragon... who was not very powerful."

"Then the human main city was gone."

"Gerraint said something that I didn't realise until later on, how powerless it was, he said... 'I tried my best but didn't get the best result'."

"Sister Ouyang..."

I was a little moved as I listened to Ouyang Xue's nagging silently: "The typhoon hasn't come yet, and it's hard to say where it will go in the end."

"The weather forecast is very accurate now. Typhoons can be simulated with supercomputers, and the prediction accuracy is quite high. If the Meteorological Bureau says it will land in two days, then it will land in two days. There is basically no possibility of it deviating from the track..."

While Ouyang Xue was saying this, the large screen in the center of the hall just switched to the typhoon forecast.

"It has been confirmed that Typhoon 'Lanhua' will land in Kamihama City in 44 to 46 hours. The local education bureau has issued a holiday notice. Colleges and employers are requested to strictly adjust their holidays in accordance with the notice..."

The host on the big screen read the script seriously to the camera, and behind him was a very clear map of the Taiwan service simulation route.

"Look, the holiday notice has been issued. Now our country can basically detect any typhoons that appear nearby in the first place, and then predict the places where the typhoon may land and the cities it may affect about a week in advance. For example, it is basically a foregone conclusion that it will land in two days."

Ouyang Xue stood up from her seat: "Okay, I won't take out the trash with you. I'm really tired these past few days. After the wedding, we'll move the cats tonight. We'll move the valuables tomorrow and then take a day off. I hope the damage to the store won't be that serious after the typhoon."

"Sister Ouyang..."

I felt a little sorry for a moment: "Don't be sad, maybe the typhoon will really change direction soon."

I can totally understand Ouyang Xue's current mood.

If a Category 12 typhoon makes landfall directly, the damage it causes to a coastal city like Kamihama will certainly be enormous, especially since the coffee shop is a restaurant built on the seaside, located at the highest point of the small hill here. By that time, there will definitely be some damage here.

Even if the coffee shop is truly God's chosen one, and none of the rocks and wood blown by the typhoon hit it, and the sea water could not flood it, and the coffee shop remained intact after a few days of storm, we still could not reopen it.

Because when that time really comes, the nearby power lines and networks will definitely have problems. There will be no electricity or internet, and the operation will be impossible, which will be delayed for several days.

As someone who has written novels, I know this very well; many things really need to be done while they are hot.

A novel is written with 100,000 words. The editor gave a small recommendation. The reader saw it and thought, "Oh, there is another big new book. You can try it." He clicked on it and saw that it was well written. He added the book to his collection and clicked on it every day when he saw there was an update to follow the author's plot.

This is a very good start. If the editor gives another strong recommendation at this time, and the author updates the novel steadily, the data of the novel will only get better and better, and its popularity will accumulate more and more.

But if you have a novel that has a good start and is very popular, the editor recommends it, and many people click in and collect it, and the recommendation ends, and it is the stage where the author needs to update the book steadily to keep the readers, and suddenly, "bang", the website is hacked and paralyzed for three to five days, what will the readers think?

Habit is a terrible thing. People must have read this new book at first because they wanted to relax and have fun after work or in their spare time. After collecting the book, they would habitually come in and subscribe when the novel is updated. The website suddenly crashed, and readers could not read the book for several days. Even if the website is restored later and the author calls one by one to inform them that the novel is available, readers probably don't want to come back.
