Plane Store: I rely on five-star reviews to become rich and live forever

If you want to help, you first need to know what the players need.

Gu Xingyan didn't need to ask specifically to know that the food produced by the ice room, especially the drinks, could bring many unexpected increases to the players.

She has three ideas: one is to increase the variety of drinks, two is to enhance the effects, and three is to extend the duration of the benefits.

But to be honest, Gu Xingyan herself was also at a loss. Her understanding of her own drinks might not be as detailed as what was recorded in Xie Hanqiu's little notebook.

She herself is not a gamer, so she cannot feel the effect. Otherwise, she would not have realized that this is not the authentic magic world but a game world more than a month after the store opened.

Gu Xingyan glanced at Xie Hanqiu and Xie Er from time to time, wanting to borrow the little notebook to take a look, but she didn't know how to start the conversation.

It would be great if they were from the realm of cultivation. Gu Xingyan is very familiar with them.

Like Xie Er, or to be more precise the demon cultivator Quan Er, Gu Xingyan and him were good friends who had gone through the training tower together and fought monsters back to back.

As for Xie Hanqiu, she is an important customer to whom Gu Xingyan sends annual gifts. The high-end musical instruments produced by the Xie family have always been very popular in other dimensions.

How popular is it?

Many mermaids in the ocean plane go on blind dates by playing the erhu and pipa together.

Angels in the heavenly plane think that the trumpet is too conservative and are trying to use the suona to spread the gospel of God.

This wave of cultural invasion, ah, cultural communication, has an immediate effect.

Far away.

Anyway, at the wedding of the century for these two people, Gu Xingyan is the guest of honor second only to the immediate family members. If he was not too busy, Quan Er would definitely shamelessly invite her to be the "best man".

But now, Gu Xingyan's thoughts wandered a little, and her eyes looked back and forth between the two of them.

How far has this pair progressed?

Gu Xingyan did not hide her curiosity at all. Xie Hanqiu and Xie Er, who were players on the leaderboard, had already noticed that she was observing them.

Xie Er leaned close to Xie Hanqiu's ear and said, "Miss, why is that store manager NPC always looking at us?"

Xie Hanqiu shook his head: "I don't know, Dean never mentioned this situation."

The two pretended to look back casually, and saw Gu Xingyan with a look of understanding on her face, as if saying:

Oh my! So you two are in this kind of relationship!

Gu Xingyan is not usually so gossipy, but she is like this only with people she knows well. This feeling of time and space confusion is really magical.

More excitement is yet to come.

At around 2:00 p.m., the representative players sent by the second guild arrived safely.

The name of this guild is Xuanyuan, and its president and vice president are Lou Xu and Wu Yao.

Let’s talk about Wu Yao first. He was the first among the four to know Gu Xingyan.

However, due to his military status, he did not show up for a long time, and then handed over the docking matters of the plane store to the more professional Lou Xu.

Later, he transferred to the Ability Management Bureau. Although he didn't have many opportunities to contact her, he was in charge of Gu Xingyan's file and knew her inside out.

As for Lou Xu, he was the one who had the most contact with Gu Xingyan among the four people.

She basically does everything herself, from all the docking work between Technology Blue Star and the Plane Store, from big things like the development of the land around the Plane Building and the prevention of foreign spies to small things like helping to pass on a message.

Privately, she and Gu Xingyan became even more familiar with each other.

For example, if Gu Xingyan wanted to go shopping in Technology Blue Star, or eat skewers and drink beer late at night, she would basically call Lou Xu.

Right now, the Dragon Breath Ice Room was completely full, and there were still five or six people who had no place to sit, so they just leaned casually on the armrests of the sofas.

Xie Hanqiu obviously knew Lou Xu, because the two were both leaders of top guilds and were also from the same hometown, so they must have had some dealings with each other.

Xie Hanqiu ignored the store manager NPC who was looking at him strangely and took Xie Er to share a table.

Four people that Gu Xingyan was familiar with gathered at a table and started chatting, talking about what they had seen on the road, cold drinks in the ice house, and patriotism to the management of the guild...

Then, Xie Hanqiu shared the little notebook with Lou Xu.

Because behind the Xuanyuan Guild are the Chinese government and millions of compatriots.

In this type of official guild, the president and vice president are often one military and one civilian, with a certain number of military and political talents assisting in the work.

Soldiers in particular master combat skills, are the first to adapt to the rules of the game in the gaming world, and upgrade quickly.

However, the ranking list is not dominated by military players, because the official guild also has to accommodate many ordinary people who cannot be independent, such as the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Many resources need to be uniformly allocated and selected among various guilds and between the strong and the weak, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that the top combat power is not obvious enough, but the advantage is that there are more Chinese players surviving, the people are more united, and the military formation can be used in the BOSS decisive battle.

It can be said that every time the BOSS explodes, more than half of the rewards go into the pockets of Chinese players.

Therefore, the official guild is relatively "poor" compared to private organizations such as the Xie Guild.

Therefore, there are many self-reliant top players like Xie Hanqiu who will provide the official guild with all possible help when they have spare capacity.

Hearing that Lou Xu was also cursed, Xie Hanqiu directly invited her to drink a cup of Imperata root and sugarcane juice, and paid the bill before Lou Xu could refuse.

When the little notebook that Gu Xingyan wanted fell into Lou Xu's hands, it saved the cost of trial and error and made the money worth spending.

After that, the people from the two guilds kept drinking throughout the afternoon, and only ordered drinks that increased their skills.

This caused Gu Xingyan and Zheng Jiaxin to be so busy that they were dizzy and dozens of cups were sold at once.

Soon, due to everyone's targeted harvesting skills, the ingredients for some drinks were all used up.

The customers were reluctant to refuse our hospitality and were eager to place their orders. We asked them to order other drinks, but they refused.

Seeing that it was only a little after four o'clock and there was still some time before closing, Zheng Jiaxin asked Gu Xingyan, "Boss, can I go downstairs and get two bottles of osmanthus honey?"

Gu Xingyan was too busy to talk, so she nodded, twisted her wrist and neck, and looked at Xie Hanqiu's table. The four of them were chatting again.

Gu Xingyan had to give up the little notebook temporarily and recalled those popular drinks, and fell into deep thought involuntarily.

Why do customers only order these? Of course, it’s because the increase in the amount of other drinks is limited in time.

But why are there no time limits for these types?

Because it increases skills, not buffs?

What is a skill? It is something you use when you want to make a move, and when you don't want to use it, you keep it in your possession.

What is gain? It is a state that lasts for a period of time starting from the moment you drink the drink.

But to be honest, isn't the charming effect brought by the pink lychee and bayberry iced tea more like a skill? It's just that I can't control time.

Is it possible that there is no distinction between skills and benefits at all, only the length of storage time?

Just like food has a shelf life.

Just like... the most commonly used osmanthus honey, which can theoretically be stored for more than two years.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingyan felt that his mind suddenly opened up!

"Jiaxin, can you make osmanthus honey?"

Zheng Jiaxin didn't expect her boss to ask such a question out of the blue, and misunderstood her meaning: "Yes, I will, but it's too late to make it now. I asked my colleagues from the property management department to deliver it to your door."

The store currently uses ready-made syrups, which are produced by its own food processing factory and sold to the outside world, so the ice room does not make any extra syrups itself.

Gu Xingyan waved her hand and said, "Let's satisfy the guests' needs first. We can make our own osmanthus honey when we have time."

Zheng Jiaxin nodded and took note of it in her mind, thinking that the boss simply wanted to learn this and never imagined that Longxi Ice House would one day become a wholesale processing factory for osmanthus honey.

The next day, when Zheng Jiaxin came to work, the supplies prepared by the property management department had already been placed at the elevator door.

She planned to move the things to the bar herself as usual and add the various ingredients to the corresponding bottles and jars.

Seeing the extra small bag of osmanthus flowers, she grabbed a handful and sniffed it. The faint sweet fragrance was like a breeze carrying the flavor of autumn, fresh and melodious.

It's freshly picked.

Without Gu Xingyan's instructions, Zheng Jiaxin found two pots and started picking osmanthus flowers.

To make the best osmanthus honey, you need to remove all impurities, including the flower stalks, otherwise the finished product will be a bit astringent.

The petals of osmanthus flowers are only the size of rice grains, so this step requires a lot of patience.

Halfway through, people from the two guilds came over during business hours.

The wealthy members of the Xie Guild came to have breakfast, while the people from the Xuanyuan Guild continued to drink skill drinks.

When Zheng Jiaxin came back from her busy work, she saw Gu Xingyan taking over her previous job and doing it even faster.

Afterimages appeared at her fingertips, and there seemed to be air currents flowing around her, sweeping away the impurities in the petals and throwing them into the trash can.

"Jiaxin, you came just in time. Should we wash the osmanthus flowers and soak them in salt water next?"

Gu Xingyan had done her homework in advance, but still wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.

"Yes, Boss, soaking in salt water can further remove the astringency and sourness of osmanthus, sterilize it at the same time, and facilitate storage.

"But the next step is critical. The water must be dried, otherwise the osmanthus will easily rot."

There wasn't a lot of it, so the two of them just spread the osmanthus flowers out on a plate and placed it next to the windowsill. The dry desert climate would quickly take away the moisture.

The windowsill faces the tent area, which is much more lively than before. If you don’t know, you might think this is a camping base rather than the level 100 ultimate battle map.

Gu Xingyan couldn't help but take a few more glances. It seemed that two more guilds had appeared last night, and their tents looked a little different.

However, they were pushed to the side by the Xie's Union and Xuanyuan Union who arrived earlier, and their tents were shaking in the strong wind of the desert.

Then, Gu Xingyan saw Xie Hanqiu and Xie Er coming out of the same tent one after another.

The two people were particularly sensitive and glared at him immediately. When they realized it was Gu Xingyan, they embarrassedly relaxed their expressions and nodded slightly in apology.

Gu Xingyan waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and asked them enthusiastically through the window: "Did you sleep well last night? Is there anything you need?"

The two men smiled and said no, then walked around the house and entered the store through the front door. However, their facial expressions became serious and cold, as if they were not someone who could be easily messed with.

Because two new guilds had already sat down in the store, and both sides did not look friendly.
