I will never give in to Miss Death

Is the bear in there?

I hesitated for a moment, then took Yin Xiamo and Filo into the coffee shop.

"Yo!"

At this time, in addition to Ouyang Xue and Li Chen, there were also Elodie, who had changed out of her maid outfit after finishing her night shift, and Lan Jiajia, who had obviously just arrived. They were sitting around the largest dining table in the store, facing Su Yunjin, who had dark circles under her eyes, and Xiong Xiong, who was dressed like a young lady.

"I'm waiting for you, come quickly."

Seeing Yin Xiamo, Filo and I coming in, Su Yunjin waved over here.

"We have found the investor for the basement floor of the coffee shop. She should be considered an old friend of yours. Let's discuss the construction direction together."

"..."

……

No. 214 Cyber ​​Cafe 2022

Compared to the first few days when the coffee shop opened in mid-May, the customer flow in June has increased by nearly double.

Not to mention the peak dining times at noon and in the evening, even during the "breakfast time" at around eight in the morning, there are many customers in the coffee shop who come from afar to have breakfast, and they praise our breakfast and service online.

The location of the coffee shop is quite remote, and most people who know about it are users of Tongmeng.com and some friends in QQ and WeChat groups. For example, those who dine in the store take photos with me and upload them to their QQ groups. When they are asked "Who is this little Lolita?" and "Where is this place?", the reputation of Shangjing Cat Coffee Shop spreads.

Similarly, in addition to the "Lolita" Yin Nuoer, there are also the "perfect girl Yin Xiamo", "big-breasted beautiful girl Lan Jiajia", "royal sister store manager Ouyang Xue" and "staying up late girl Ai Luodi"... If everyone is photographed while working and spread online, the advertising effect will be even better than Tongmeng.com's promotional PV.

Especially for Yin Xiamo and I, any photo of us looks like it has been beautified with Photoshop, and there is absolutely no flaw in it. If it is a high-definition camera phone or a professional camera, it can be used directly as a wallpaper. This made our fame spread quickly in various QQ groups, and the popularity of the coffee shop also continued to rise, attracting a large number of tourists.

Nowadays, most people have the attitude of "just eat something casually" towards breakfast. After all, getting up in the morning to go to work is when a person is in the worst mood. Thinking about having to work for the boss all day and enduring such a long day, the pain has just begun. Basically no one will have a good appetite. In addition, the coffee shop is located in a remote area with few companies around it, and people will not pass by here on their way to work, so it is amazing for such a shop to have ten or twenty customers around eight o'clock.

However, compared to customers who dine in the store, the "breakfast takeaway" here at the coffee shop is quite good.

"No. 23, soy milk, fried dough sticks, chicken soup——"

"No. 24, chicken feet, cream buns——"

With the chef in the kitchen and Li Chen, who was in charge of counting, shouting, the coffee shop was extremely lively with delivery guys constantly coming in and out.

"Wow! It's really Noel, so early!"

"Good morning, little sister Nuo'er! And Xiaomo! I saw the announcement sent by your boss at Tongmeng.com and knew that you had to come here early to go to work today."

"Really? Actually, we don't have to go so early. We won't run away..."

"Haha, it just so happens that I don't have to go to work today. The environment here is so nice, and there is WIFI and a cat, so I thought about coming over to take a look."

"You guys want to have a meeting? Go ahead and do your work. I'll play with the kitten."

"..."

At present, the types of "breakfast" here in the coffee shop have expanded to the same specifications as the larger "morning tea shops" outside. In addition to the necessary soy milk and fried dough sticks, there are also various buns, xiaolongbao, crystal buns, vegetable buns, corn buns, soup buns, etc. If you don't like buns, there are also rice rolls, rice rolls, ramen, dumplings, wontons and other pasta, and even coarse grains such as corn buns, steamed buns, taro to choose from, basically covering all breakfast categories.

So...if I'm really lazy at home, I might as well not even make breakfast and sleep until 7:30, then get up, get dressed, wash my face and brush my teeth, and come to the coffee shop for a free breakfast.

But that's not my habit. I would rather get up earlier and watch the clumsy Yin Xiamo make breakfast, or go to the snack bar downstairs to eat some millet porridge or rice noodles. That would be more lifelike.

This is definitely not because I want to help Xia Mo cook.

"While cleaning the floor..."

After Yin Xiamo and Filo walked into the coffee shop, I saw a half-human-height sweeping robot coming towards us.

This "half-human height" refers to half of me, about sixty to seventy centimeters. It is an artificial intelligence sweeping robot with an identification chip, and the Tongmeng.com logo is printed on its body.

It is the most advanced sweeping robot currently sponsored to us by Tongmeng.com. It is said that its retail price online is tens of thousands of yuan. It can automatically identify the types of garbage on the ground and the objects in front of it, and realize functions such as sweeping, mopping, and cleaning garbage in gaps. It is several times smarter than those oblate sweeping robots currently sold on the market.

The biggest problem with cat cafes is the cats' smell and excrement. If it's just the cats shedding, it's not a big deal, as most sweeping robots can handle that. But the biggest problem with cats is not that they have too much hair, or that they jump around and make things everywhere, but that these creatures are extremely uncertain, and you never know when they will suddenly do a lot of things that go against common sense and logic.

Coffee shops have bought a lot of automatic cat litter machines. As long as the cat goes in and out, the machine will start, clean up the poop, remove the odor, and restore the entrance and exit. The whole process is fully automatic and does not require human management. However, not all cats will be obedient and go to the litter box at the appointed time. If an accident happens, it will be a headache.

What if a cat suddenly urinates out of stress when it is stimulated? Ordinary robots cannot recognize it, so they run to the puddle of urine, sweep it for a long time, and then run to another place, leaving a large puddle on the ground, and the smell spreads completely, which will cause disaster to the whole restaurant.

For example, some cats have diarrhea and can't hold it in until they get to the litter box. If you expect an ordinary sweeping robot to handle this kind of thing, the coffee shop will probably have to close for a whole day to tidy up.

In addition to cat climbing frames, cat cafes also have "rolling wheels" for cats to exercise, just like the small rollers for hamsters. We have them in our cat cafes. Some cats who love exercise usually run to the roller and accelerate like crazy. If one day... some small insects enter the coffee shop, and some cats see the insects moving, they are very curious, and go up and swallow the insects in one bite. The insects have too many bacteria, causing the cat who loves exercise to have diarrhea. If it runs on the roller again... what will be the consequences?

The smart sweeping robots sponsored by Tongmeng.com are used to handle these tasks, or in other words, this robot is specially designed to "manage cats". They can clean cat hair, deal with fallen cat litter, sweep the floor, and mop the floor.

In addition, the robot’s built-in “Tongmeng Intelligent Cloud Big Data Automatic Object Recognition Function” is also very useful.

"Drip-drip-"

Seeing me, the robot vacuum cleaner came towards me, the light in front of it lit up, a beam of light shone diagonally on my head, and then slowly moved down——

"Ding ding ding, human girl, age 10-12 years old, danger level: 2."

"what is this?"

Philo, who was standing next to him, saw the robot vacuum cleaner and was very curious: "Is it the same technology as the one Xiaomo introduced to me yesterday... the thing called a car?"

"Oh no."

I thought about it and said, "This... this is for household use... furniture, for cleaning."

"Cleaning?"

Filo was still a little confused: "A sweeper? A water magician?"

"Eh?"

Philo's answer left me with a lot of questions.

In another world, water magicians specialize in sweeping the floor?

"Meow--"

At this time, Timon and several ragdoll cats, sensing my presence, trotted down from the second floor. They first noticed Filo beside me and were probably frightened by her dragon aura, but her intimacy with me still gave them the courage to run over -

"Meow meow meow!"

"Meow!"

"It's just like what they say on the Internet. Noer is the Elvis here."

Several customers who were dining nearby joked: "These cats were sleeping on the second floor when I came. No matter how much I teased them, they were too lazy to open their eyes. When Nuoer came, they all ran downstairs."

Uh... maybe I have the cat girl gene in my body...

I picked up Ding Man and pinched his cheek: "Miss me?"

"Meow……"

Although he is already a big cat of several years old, Ding Man is still like a virgin at this time. He buried his big head under my neck and rubbed it several times to mark his scent.

"Drip drip..."

At this time, the robot vacuum cleaner under our feet turned a little and aimed the scanner at the cats on the ground.

"Didi, Ragdoll cat, large cat, 5-6 years old, danger level 7."

"what?!"

This scene stunned Filo: "Are the cats here stronger than humans? Aren't you a water magician, Nuoer?"

"Shh-"

Yin Xiamo heard this and quickly made a gesture to silence her: "We don't talk about magic here, and Nuo'er hasn't awakened yet."

"Oh, sorry."

Perhaps in order to figure out the principle of the machine, Philo squatted down and took the initiative to pull the "scanner" of the machine in front of him: "Hey, look at me."

"Drip drip..."

The machine that detected the new animal scanned Philo up and down as programmed.

"Didi, human girl, aged 15-17, danger level: 1."

"what!"

Philo was unhappy about this and knocked on the robot vacuum cleaner's forehead: "Why am I less dangerous than a cat? Even less dangerous than Nuoer... This is not right!"

"alright."

Yin Xiamo quickly went over to pull Filo over: "It's based on big data, such as how many accidents have happened in the restaurant, how many cases of children of each age group have had accidents, etc. The degree of danger is judged through these uploaded data, not combat effectiveness..."

Philo still didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"That is... for example, human children are the most mischievous when they are six or seven years old. If a child of this age is alone in a store, the probability of an accident is the highest, and they may be judged as dangerous level 9, and the machine will choose to avoid them. If it is an adult, such as around 20 years old, although they are physically mature and strong, they are sensible and have moral constraints, so there is almost no accident when they dine in the store."

Yin Xiamo explained, "Like kittens. Although kittens are lively and active, they are not very strong, so they are less dangerous. If they are cats in their prime, especially large cats, about three or four years old, big and strong, and curious about everything, then they are more dangerous because they can knock down robots... I heard these from Ouyang Xue, and I don't understand the specific logic. Anyway, the more dangerous it is, the more the machine will take a detour."

"What... is this?"

Filo, who was being held by Yin Xiamo, widened his eyes and asked, "Has technology developed to such a terrifying level?"

“This is what artificial intelligence is all about.”

At this time, Su Yunjin, who was not far away, came over and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

I gestured to Philo: "We should have met yesterday, Philo."

"This is Philo's ID card and health certificate."

Yin Xiamo took the initiative to hand over the prepared materials to Ouyang Xue: "And the checklist."

"So fast?"

Ouyang Xue was a little surprised and took the documents: "I remember it takes at least a week to get the health certificate, right?"

"Two days at the earliest."

Su Yunjin blinked at Ouyang Xue and said, "Of course, if you have acquaintances... ahem, it's not uncommon to get it done in one day, as long as the documents are legal."

"Then I'll register first, and we'll sign the contract after this is over."

Ouyang Xue, who heard Su Yunjin's subtext, did not ask any more questions and carefully put the materials aside.

"Come on, sit down."

Inviting Yin Xiamo and Filo to sit down around the big table, Su Yunjin gestured to Xiong Xiong beside us and said, "You should have known each other, right?"

"I only know her name in the group is Xiong Xiong."

I nodded: "It's me... um, the readers in my novel group."

Or a wealthy man - of course I just said the latter sentence quietly in my heart.

This is the impression Xiong Xiong has always given me: mysterious, generous, and talkative.

She has beautiful blonde hair and is obviously mixed-race. I can't really tell where she is from. When we first met, she was wearing the bear suit from the anime "Bears in Another World". Her QQ avatar on the Internet is also the avatar of the protagonist "Yuuna" in this anime.

Because my first impression of the "Yuuna" avatar was similar to that of "Maple" in "Because I'm Too Afraid of Pain, I Put All My Defense into It" or Kirito in "Sword Art Online". They are both that kind of... very free and easy, with a background, giving people a sense of mystery, and looking like the protagonist with an "invincible" aura. So I have always used "Kumako" with Yuuna's avatar, and my feeling about her is the same as in the anime.

What's more, she really is that character in real life.

The first time he came to Kamihama City, he took a "private cruise ship" that delivered several "freshly dug" coconut trees to the coffee shop. The second time we met after that was today, and this guy brought two bodyguards with him.

Anyway, in my entire life, I have never seen anyone other than celebrities go out with bodyguards.

"My name here is Sikong Yue."

Under my curious gaze, the "Xiong Xiong" in front just smiled and casually took out half a... uh, very strange fruit from a basket behind him.

When I first saw this fruit, it didn't feel like it was something from Earth. But when I looked at it the second time, it looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

Its skin is a yellowish earth color, like a thorny volcanic slime. When cut in the middle, it contains sticky flesh and seeds like the inside of a tomato, which doesn't look very appetizing.

"Here, this one is very sweet and refreshing, perfect for relaxing in the morning."

He handed me half of the "Volcano Slime" and inserted a watermelon into the "pulp" in the middle. Xiong Xiong took out a new, complete "Volcano Slime" and cut it in half with the multi-functional military knife he carried with him. He then gave them to Yin Xiamo and Filo respectively, and handed over the straw.

"What is this? Ambergris?"

Filo looked at the shell of the fruit and said, "But there is no magical fluctuation... Ahem, sorry, just treat it as nonsense."

"Haha, I was also very curious when I first saw this fruit. I thought it was a prank by Miss Sikong."

Our curious looks made Su Yunjin look like he was watching a kitten playing an adventure game: "This thing is called a prickly horn melon. You may not know it just by the name, but you may have seen it in the movies."

I looked up: "What?"
