Chapter 800 Don't pick up the statues by the roadside!
The Steel aliens couldn't understand why this unprofitable coffee shop could persist in operating on Earth.
The store receives fewer than ten customers a day, and the manager doesn't care about anything except cooking a meal when he's in a good mood.
In addition, there are two female employees who slack off every day, and a strange-looking cat that can talk and is also very strong.
With this setup, you could earn more money doing other things than opening a shop.
"There's still a patch that's not cleaned properly. How did you do your job?" Baluru called out when he saw the dazed Steel alien.
"Oh oh..." The Steel alien quickly got up, grabbed a mop and a bucket, and ran over.
There's nothing he can do; he's the lowest-ranking person in the shop now, even a kitten can poop and pee on his head...
"Why does our store manager insist on opening the store here?" While mopping the floor, the Steel alien asked the question that had been bothering him.
"From what I've observed, your store seems to be consistently losing money, right?"
"Heh, you wouldn't understand," Baruru replied absentmindedly while watching TV.
“Our Black Star Coffee is a well-known enterprise in the multiverse. Whether this store makes money or not is not important at all. We don’t need this little bit of money at all.”
"Aren't there any performance evaluation standards?" The Steel alien was even more puzzled.
"Who do you think our store manager is?" Xiao Yao asked with a mysterious smile.
"He's the biggest boss of this brand, who would dare to evaluate him?"
"Is it that powerful?" The Steel alien was hearing this information for the first time and stood there stunned.
"But if he's already so rich, why would he want to steal my savings?"
"It's not robbery, it's confiscation," the kitten Songsheng corrected, stretching on the table and wagging its tail.
Having spent so much time with Jaden at the coffee shop, this little cat has become the manager's true lackey—no, his cat lackey.
Song Sheng emphasized: "You made a mistake, and confiscating your property is the price you have to pay. These are the store manager's exact words."
Baruru: "Yes, although the master is very rich, he always seems to feel that he can't earn enough money... In short, he enjoys the process of making money."
"What a strange adult," Steele muttered as he mopped the floor.
“You’ve only just joined the gang, there are still many things you don’t understand. You’ll understand naturally as time goes by,” Baruru said, adopting the tone of a senior.
"Hey, remember to take out the trash after you mop the floor."
"Got it... Huh? Where's the shop manager now?" Steele asked again.
Xiao Yao: "I took those two human kids out to play. The adults really enjoy the kids being together."
For some reason, Baruru sighed beside her: "Sigh~, I like children. I could have a child through replication, and it would be even better if it could be combined with adult genes, but unfortunately the adults are unwilling."
Xiao Yao shivered beside her and glared at Balulu: "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying? You're still a child yourself."
"How many times have I told you? If we consider human lifespans, I could be your ancestor." Baruru tapped the table.
"Besides, don't you think our Baltan people's method of reproduction is very convenient?"
"Earthlings pay great attention to children. They believe that children are the continuation of their bloodline and, in a sense, their own future."
"Although Lord Zetton isn't exactly an Earthling, I think his mindset is very Earthly. If he wants a child, I..."
"Stop, stop." Xiao Yao really didn't want to listen anymore, so she covered Balulu's mouth.
"Although the adults don't have partners now, they already have quite a few children."
"Think about Cotton, he's a bit dim-witted but can eat a lot."
"Take another look at Song Sheng... Kuin is being fostered here, do you really think it has absolutely no connection with the adults?"
"Thinking about it this way, it seems that adults don't lack children, huh?" Baruru realized and nodded to himself, "There are both boys and girls."
"Hey, you're a male kitten, right?" Baluru said, lifting Songsheng up with one hand, wanting to see its private parts.
The kitten hissed immediately: "Respect my privacy, or I'll scratch you later."
"Furthermore, powerful beings should not be bound by gender. The universe is not binary; I am neither male nor female!"
Baluru: "...So, are you a male cat or a female cat?"
Xiao Yao sighed and went back to the kitchen to bake a cake.
……
In the EX area, Su Yang is playing games with a group of children.
"Are you sure you want me to be the one to find people in this hide-and-seek game?" Su Yang pointed to himself.
"Uncle, you can't cheat. You can't use superpowers. You can only use your eyes and hands," Duan emphasized.
“That’s a superpower to you, but to me it’s something I was born with, like your eyes and hands.” Su Yang spread his hands.
"Then let's find someone else to be in charge of the search."
In hide-and-seek, the person hiding has a better gaming experience.
"Then I'll go find it." Kenta knew that the shop manager was always like this, and felt very helpless.
"I'll count to twenty, you'd better hide now."
"20...19...18..."
As the countdown began, Su Yang grabbed Duan and another child's hands: "Let's go, let's go to Antarctica."
"Uncle, you're going to cheat again. Even if you hide in Antarctica, Kenta will never find you. How can we play like this?" Duan was speechless.
Su Yang: "Then I'll become invisible?"
"Can't we respect the rules of the game? Let's just hide around here," the child next to him added.
“My house is just ahead, you can hide in my house.”
“Shinta, I remember your dad was pretty scary,” Duan said softly.
The boy named Shinta lowered his head and said, "My father has been very depressed ever since he got injured and couldn't dance the lion dance."
“A while ago, he picked up a statue of a deity by the roadside, took it home and enshrined it. Since then, he has become even stranger.”
"Can't it be cured?" Duan asked, then looked at the shop manager.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm just an ordinary coffee shop manager, not a wishing well." After saying that, Su Yang teleported into the house in front of him with the two children.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard the man's whispered prayer: "God of Kema, please help me. I desperately want to dance the lion dance again, and I also want all those who disrespect the lion dance to die..."
“This is traditional culture. How can they desecrate it like this? I can’t stand it.”
"Please make my wish come true."
"Kaima God, if you truly have a spirit, please help me."
“This statue…” Su Yang’s gaze fell on the statue, and he was very interested.
He could sense the negative energy fluctuations and otherworldly abilities emanating from the statue.
Simply put, this statue has become sentient, and it might actually be able to grant people's wishes.
Su Yang: "This is not something you can worship. If we continue to inject human resentment into it, this statue will eventually become a gigantic monster."
Duan: "Really?"
"So how can we help him?"
