I will never give in to Miss Death

Lan Jiajia deliberately put on an envious look and said, "If you become rich, don't forget me, Xiao Nuo'er."

"No way, we are just ordinary friends. Or maybe not even friends. At most, we are acquaintances."

I waved my hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go check out the new basement door."

When I arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop, I looked at the small downward-sloping staircase on the right, as well as the strange graffiti and LEG lights on both sides of the staircase.

How should I put it, this dressing style is a bit like... a black Internet cafe?

That's not right. The environment in the black Internet cafe is much worse than this. The stairs here are very clean, and the graffiti on both sides also have the American "degenerate" style. At most, the stairs "going down" look a little "sneaky".

This staircase probably hasn’t been renovated yet.

When the stairs are renovated, hang some small accessories or night lights around the entrance, and make the stairs look more technological, and it will feel about right.

I walked down the small staircase, turned left at the end, lifted the door curtain in front of me, and came to the familiar e-sports center on the underground floor.

Well, it’s still the gorgeous cyberpunk light pollution style, with a bar in the middle, surrounded by some small tables and chairs for playing board games or drinking, and then there is the game area, e-sports area, box area, VR area...

The small staircase leading to the cat's living area is still there, and it may be made into a path like an "emergency passage" in the future.

Then there's the elevator over here...

I followed the direction signs with the lighted "Walk" on the soles of my feet and found the elevators.

It’s actually done?!

"So fast?"

Seeing the elevator here, Lan Jiajia was also surprised: "I thought they would need at least ten days to complete the elevator..."

"Didn't Elodie say a few days ago that there were cranes moving things outside at two or three in the morning? I guess they were moving the elevator at that time."

I pressed the elevator door button with a "beep" sound and walked into this high-tech elevator which was slightly wider than most residential elevators.

Like the layout of the underground floor, this elevator also uses a lot of cyberpunk elements. When we walked in from the outside, it was like we were walking into the internal control cabin of an EVA mecha. The constantly flashing breathing lights and the sturdy metal baffles around it surprised me, who is not very interested in the cyberpunk style.

"It's true that money can make a fool of himself."

Lan Jiajia said with emotion: "Tongmeng.com has really invested a lot this time. I remember Xiao Ai said before that working at night seems to triple the salary..."

"We are the only place that can work at night. If it were downtown, someone would definitely complain about the buzzing noise at night."

I pressed the "1st floor" button of the elevator.

The elevator door closed, the breathing light changed from blue to green, a subtle feeling of weightlessness came over me, and the elevator door in front of me opened again.

We have arrived at the first floor of the coffee shop.

"so amazing……"

Duoli and Yueyue widened their eyes: "How can something this complicated be made in just a few days?"

“It can even go up to the second floor.”

I turned around: "It seems that there are three exits in the basement."

Before this, the coffee shop only had one main exit at the lobby.

The second floor is relatively small and has only one exit, which is the staircase. However, the stairs from the first floor to the second floor are very wide, and there is basically no congestion even when there are the most people. So I have always thought that this design is very good.

Now they have even added an extra elevator. I really don’t know how to complain about the people at Tongmeng.com.

"That's great. This way, if those people playing games downstairs want to eat something, we won't have to go through so much trouble to deliver the food. They can just take the elevator down."

Lan Jiajia came to the first floor and walked towards the stairs: "Change clothes and get ready for work!"

"Meow……"

Ding Man, who seemed to have just woken up, walked over from somewhere, stretched as he walked, and then greeted me.

"Did you eat something secretly again last night? You've become so fat."

I squatted down and picked up the cat, which was almost as big as me when standing up: "It's so heavy."

"Meow……"

Ding Man cried out in grievance in my arms.

"What is it saying?"

I turned and looked at Yueyue: "Can you hear it?"

"Catgirls and cats are totally different species!"

The cat ears on Yueyue's head stood up instantly. "Just like humans and fish, and even though we are all cat girls, we have different dialects over there. Without a translator or Mewtwo to learn from... I can't understand."

Really?

I turned to Ding Man: "Can you understand what Yueyue said?"

Ding Man tilted his big head: "Mmmmm?"

"You two are really..."

I put the big cat on the ground and patted its fur: "Okay, okay, I'm going to change my clothes and get ready for work."

Although Su Yunjin is coming here today, he should come forward regarding the matters concerning Ye Yuqing, Mayor Ye and the TV station, but he still has to do some face-saving work.

The coffee shop is usually full of the atmosphere of the second dimension. There is a magic circle here, a painting of a beautiful girl over there, and portraits of characters from a certain animation, just like the maid costumes. When the national TV station comes to interview, we'd better put away these controversial things first.

Hats, little skirts, socks and shoes...well, they're all here.

I went up to the locker room on the second floor and took out my own uniform from my bag.

Gothic Lolita, a small dress with a school uniform design, plus a beret.

I really like this outfit, not only because it can be paired with flat shoes, but most importantly... its color and theme really fit the feeling of "Yin Nuoer" - sky, nature, cute, elves, artists.

My favorite is this beret with a ribbon. My hair is too long and difficult to manage. With this hat, the hair at the back can be naturally gathered inside the hat, and the bow ribbon is very suitable for my long hair, which looks very cute.

This outfit combines so many elements together, but it doesn't look out of place. This is enough to show how talented the designer Xiong Xiong brought here is.

Except for mine, Xiaomo, Filo, Gabriel, Elodi and Lan Jiajia's uniforms are all unique. Xiaomo's is themed on the Grim Reaper, mainly black, giving people a serious and handsome feeling. Filo's is the "Black Dragon Girl", a belly-exposing outfit. Gabriel's is a pure angel theme. Lan Jiajia and Elodi are both "editors" with a slightly literary atmosphere.

Ouyang Xue was in charge of the theme proposal for the clothes. I suspected that she might have known something, after all, the dragon milk had indeed had a significant effect. However, due to Ouyang Xue's high emotional intelligence, this respected store manager said nothing.

"Xiaomo!"

After changing clothes, I waited outside the locker room for a while. Until Xiaomo next to me came out, I went up to her and kissed her on the face as usual.

Xiaomo responded to me as usual and smoothed my long hair behind me: "Are you going to count the cats today or am I going to count the cats?"

"Xiao Mo, you can count them. The cats are more familiar with you. I'll go set up the store."

I helped straighten the bow on Xiaomo's chest.

"Love you."

"Nasty."

"It was you who started it first."

I smiled evilly on purpose.

"This is called paralyzing the enemy. When someone is immersed in happiness and love, suddenly raise the banner of rebellion and catch them off guard!"

"..."

No. 324 ornamental fish, edible fish, cat fish

The soft and round blue and white beret with a ribbon, the little dress in European Lolita style that seemed to blend the sky and green land together, the tights that were not see-through and patterned with natural vines and small flowers, and the pair of blue and white round-toed flat shoes with bows... Ouyang Xue had this new uniform of the coffee shop customized by the factory several days ago and received it the next day, but I still love it so much to this day.

I have basically adapted to the life and dressing style of girls now, and I'm used to little skirts and the like. And because I have Xiaomo, an online shopping addict, we have a lot of clothes exclusively for girls at home. But I was still amazed when I saw this exclusive uniform for the first time.

It really is... perfect for me.

I don't know why, whether it's due to my physical condition or the influence of my previous life as an uncle otaku, I am very accepting of this type of two-dimensional clothes. For example, the "artist" themed hoodie and little skirt that I fell in love with when I bought clothes for girls for the first time. This set also belongs to that type, but with the three elements of "nature", "blue sky" and "Lolita", the level of gorgeousness has been slightly raised to a higher level. It's a bit conceited if I wear it outside, but it's just right for daily office work in a coffee shop.

If the color tone of my uniform is related to "life", then Xiaomo's uniform is based on the theme of "death".

It's still a little dress, a little skirt, tights and round-toed shoes, but Xiaomo's main colors have become black and white. At first glance, she looks a bit like Mercury Lamp in "Rozen Maiden". However, unlike Mercury Lamp's maid headband, Xiaomo's outfit is matched with a small hat, just like the vampire girl next door wearing an evening gown to attend a castle party. This outfit makes Xiaomo, who already has a royal temperament, even more elegant, and forms a sharp contrast with me, who is more cute.

"Come on, lift one foot up and put your hands like this...Okay, smile, be more sunny and lively...Very good."

As usual, after trimming the flowers outside, counting all the cats in the coffee shop, and doing a routine check of the store's equipment: automatic water dispensers, automatic feeders, sweeping robots, etc., after seeing that there were not many customers in the store, Ouyang Xue pulled Xiaomo and me to a small table on the side and took several photos.

"Yes, Nuo'er is also very cute today. This time, she is standing on two feet. Yes, that's right. Bend your knees a little bit inward... Just like that."

"Click, click, click..."

This small table is a small plastic cylinder, similar to the round cylinder under the stand sold online that is placed on the desk or in the computer case. I have taken photos here before when I was wearing a maid outfit, and Ouyang Xue described it as a "life-size figure."

"By the way, Nuo'er, you are so cute when you walk. If Su Yunjin hadn't told me about you, I would have thought you were some young lady who came here to experience life."

After taking the corresponding photos, Ouyang Xue motioned Xiaomo to go up as well: "Xia Mo too, although you usually like to joke about little devils from another world or something like that, but this set really suits you very well."

"It's okay to treat me as a demon."

Yin Xiamo stood up and struck a particularly domineering pose: "This might make it easier for you to imagine me."

"Yes, that's the temperament."

Ouyang Xue quickly raised her camera and took several photos in a row: "Just by looking at Xia Mo's expression, I can imagine Nuo'er being bullied every night."

"Hey!"

I said dissatisfiedly: "Please put away your unwarranted associations, I am the master at home!"

"Is it authentic?"

Ouyang Xue looked as if she couldn't imagine it: "I can't think of it at all."

"Reliable!"

I felt my cheeks puffing up. "Xiaomo always listens to me at home. She has to eat whatever I cook in the evening. She also washes all the clothes at home. She is completely tamed by me!"

"Oh?"

Ouyang Xue put on the smile that Tom showed when he picked up the invisibility potion in Tom and Jerry: "I'll teach him a lesson and he'll be completely obedient."

"Noer's current appearance is a bit like the way a cat's cheeks start to swell as it enters its growth stage from infancy."

Yin Xiamo walked down from the small platform: "She feels like an adult now, so proud of herself. As a parent, we naturally have to give in to her."

What is the childhood growth stage? Is there a maturity stage and complete form after it?

"You guys have such a good relationship."

Seeing Xiaomo and I bickering, Ouyang Xue laughed out loud: "I have envied this kind of relationship since I was a child. It is really a great fortune to have one or two close friends in life."

"Ouyang."

At this time, Li Chen came down from the second floor: "Are you ready here? Go get today's goods."

"Okay, why are you in such a hurry? Let me chat with the little guys for a while."

Ouyang Xue glared at Li Chen and said, "Are they the ones that Lao Yang and the others mentioned earlier?"

"Well, they just called and said the goods are ready and they're waiting for us to pick them up."

Li Chen hesitated for a moment: "Why don't you stay here and I'll bring it over."

"You can't do anything by yourself."

Facing Li Chen, Ouyang Xue had no patience at all as she did when talking to us. She put the camera aside, stood up and walked over: "That fish tank and the landscaping weigh nearly 50 kilograms. Can you carry it by yourself?"

Li Chen frowned: "I can just ask Lao Li's people to help out."

"They are your wives, right? Will they help you just because you ask them to? If we help them once, they will have something to say next time we go there."

Ouyang Xue said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's go, I'll go with you, and we can move together."

"This……"

Li Chen scratched his head: "If it's my wife... then... can she help me move?"

"what are you saying?"

"nothing."

Li Chen looked at us aggrievedly, like a big orange cat being scolded by its mother cat, and then turned around and said, "Let's go."
