Chapter 4
January 6025, 4, early morning.

Jingle Bell!
The crisp alarm bell rang in a rental house, but was quickly pressed down by a palm, followed by a long yawn.

You Wangxin turned over and sat up on the bed, quickly washed up and packed his work clothes.

Today is his first time going to work in two years, and he tries to make a good impression on his new boss by going to work early.

Well, if time permits, he can also inquire about salary and benefits during work breaks.

Ahem, I can't care about myself, I'm really worried.But it's strange, isn't the contract usually in duplicate?

Yesterday when I went back to my residence to drink beer to cheer myself up, I just remembered such a thing. Who made him stay away from the workplace for too long!
Washing, squatting in the toilet, dressing, after everything was packed, You Wangxin picked up the umbrella and messenger bag hanging behind the door, and ran out of the rental house excitedly.

In less than 10 minutes, You Wangxin was standing in front of the Wangyou Hall.

At this time, he had to admire his "wise" decision-making and luck. He didn't have to take transportation to go to work every day, which invisibly saved a lot of expenses.

"Huh? Why is the door still ajar?"

You Wangxin looked up at the red lantern, there was still a flickering candle burning inside, as if it had never been extinguished.

The red horizontal plaque completely revealed its true colors in the clear day, and it was clear at a glance even if the inscription was not seen clearly yesterday.

"No.80 No. [-], You Wangxin!"

Um?How is this going?

Could it be that they have the same name?This is too much of a coincidence!

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still opened the ajar door and walked in.

The rare sunny weather did not add much brightness to the store. The screens, lounge chairs and tables were still in the semi-dark light just like yesterday, and the old owner of the store was not in the store either.

No longer as cramped as yesterday, he also noticed that there was a hollow wooden staircase leading upward behind the desk, and an inconspicuous small door at the bottom of the staircase was tightly closed.

Maybe the uncle is still resting?

"Boss, I'm here to go to work, You Wangxin, have you ever gotten up?"

You Wangxin raised his wrist and looked at his watch. After confirming that it was past eight o'clock, he knocked on the table carefully and called out in a low voice.

There was no response from the store. Instead, the hidden compartment on the table slid open again, revealing the items inside.

The yellowed employment contract, the ink bottle with the quill pen inserted, the brush and inkstone, and the ink pad box are all objects seen yesterday, except that there is a small and unique copper plate pressed on the contract.

You Wangxin looked around, and called the old shop owner softly again, but still did not get a response.

Maybe uncle went out for breakfast?

Leaning on the edge of the table and waiting, he casually picked up the bronze medal and looked at it in front of his eyes with some curiosity.

"No. 80 No. [-] Shopkeeper, You Wangxin!"

On the front of the bronze medal are two columns of exceptionally clear regular script Yang characters. The fonts are straight and the strokes are clear, just like a personal seal.

what happened?

The shop owner is also named You Wangxin, what a coincidence these ladies must be!

Turning over the bronze medal in his hand again, there is a lifelike Pixiu on the back, with lofty arrogance in his eyes.

The difference from the shop door pattern is that it does not play with the ball under its feet, but its claws are turned upwards, and there is a shining ball in the claws.

The overall color of the bronze medal is dark yellow, and the outer edge is smooth and clean, which shows that it is often played with.

Just as You Wangxin was about to put down the bronze medal, a strange and thin voice came into his head, as if whispering in his ear.

"The new shopkeeper, what are your orders? Xiaotong is always at your disposal."

Uh, new owner?

Who is talking here?Who are you talking to again?

You Wangxin, who was already suspicious in his heart, quickly looked left and right, trying to find out the source of the words, but unfortunately there was no one in the store.

"You are the new shop owner. Yesterday you signed a contract with your predecessor, and successfully transferred the Wangyou Pavilion to your own name."

The hidden speaker seemed to be able to hear his thoughts, and responded very promptly.

What?
Become the new owner?Could it be that yesterday's uncle was grateful for his kindness and bad luck, and gave him the entire storefront?

This is too...

You Wangxin hastily put down the bronze medal, took the employment contract in the hidden compartment and looked through it, turning every word in it over and over twice.

……

After half an hour.

The employment contract was put back into the secret box, and You Wangxin picked up the bronze medal again with a complicated expression, feeling inexplicably surprised.

Perhaps, there are more ingredients of surprise and disbelief.

In short, I was "cheated" by the shop owner!

In fact, he was on the verge of unemployment collapse, even if the former shopkeeper explained the ins and outs of the matter, he would accept the "good intentions" after a short hesitation.

If it had been two years ago, You Wangxin would have thought that this was some kind of farce, and even took the initiative to call the hotline of the mental hospital to send the other party to enjoy his life.

But now...

All kinds of superpowers are emerging in endlessly. The news media are constantly reporting on this aspect, and it is actually happening around him. It is not unacceptable to have another pawn shop that deals with superpowers.

That's right, Wangyou Pavilion is mainly engaged in the trading of superpowers!
In the employment contract, it is clearly stated what the pawn shop is engaged in, including the service period and benefits, as well as the approximate share of tasks that need to be completed each month.

In addition to the extremely long service period, it is really a standard employment contract.

Of course, this requires deliberately ignoring its employer.

Duration of Service: Forever (until someone is willing to take the job)!
Employer: Creation (don't try to escape, we are optimistic about you)!
"Xiao Tong, are you still there? Can you help me answer this question?"

Young people are the most receptive to new things, and You Wangxin quickly put the annoyance of being deceived behind her, and surrounded her mouth with both palms to look like a microphone, calling out in a low voice.

"Shopkeeper, what are your orders? Little Copper is always at your disposal."

The thin voice rang in his ears again, and removing the word "new" also made him feel inexplicably comfortable.

"How does this...Wangyou Pavilion work? I don't have superpowers, how can I trade other people's superpowers?"

Sure enough, the new official has the momentum to take office!
Now You Wangxin can't wait to make some achievements to avoid being fired by the mysterious "Chuangshi".

As for why the former shopkeeper chose to deceive and flee in a hurry, it is not in the immediate scope of consideration.

Thinking about it now, that uncle did not go to buy food and drinks yesterday, he clearly ran away in a hurry, the best proof is that he never saw another paper umbrella in the store.

With a basic salary of 5.00 U.S. dollars per month and a [-]% performance commission, You Wangxin is already very satisfied with such good treatment.

"The guest room crowd is resolved by the owner himself. He can sit on the sidelines or go out to find customers. With the foreshadowing of the previous owner, the quota for the first three months is easy to achieve."

"The new store owner has ten bonus points, which can be used to exchange for other temporarily borrowed super powers; in addition, the shop owner automatically has the ability to identify and recover super powers after signing the employment contract."

"It looks good, by the way, where is Xiaotong?" You Wangxin, who was in a good mood, asked the last doubt in his heart.

"I am the bronze medal elf you hold in your hand, and I belong to the current shop owner. My name can be changed, the form of existence is also up to the shop owner, and the auxiliary work I perform can also be specified."

Bronze Elf?

Such an emotional setting, Creation really cares about it!
This is obviously a bonus system elf, which can help the hired shopkeeper answer and handle affairs, which is equivalent to his own deputy.

He looked at the small and unique bronze medal in his hand, and suddenly wanted to try the various functions the other party said.

"If you can change your form, well, let's change the appearance of a young girl. She should be smaller and not exceed my shoulders."

As soon as the words fell, the bronze medal turned into a dark yellow smoke and rushed to the tiled floor, and under You Wangxin's surprised eyes, it was shaped into a young girl with bronze skin.

A decent white dress covered the body, and the two calves below the knees and the two thin arms were exposed.

On the delicate melon-seeded face, the long eyelashes were properly placed on a pair of big watery eyes, and the small cherry mouth curved upwards, looking at him playfully.

It's really pleasing to the eye.

"Shopkeeper, is this okay? Do you want to adjust your skin color?" A soft and pleasant voice came from her mouth, much more beautiful than before.

"That's it. Actually, I don't have many requirements for the girl's appearance." You Wangxin looked up and down at her appearance with satisfaction and added duplicitously.

What a beauty embryo!
Undoubtedly, Wangyou Pavilion is my own creation!

Work is worry-free, and the beauty is in front of you. You Wangxin now wants to "expand more"!
"Uh, that, I'll call you 'Ruotong' from now on. Besides, hehe..."

"Wangyou Pavilion should provide breakfast, right?"

 Some people say that novels about pawnshops are standard for beauty assistants.Well, Muping is speechless!
