I opened a mall in ancient times

【……ah? 】The system did not expect Luo Chaochao to call the police.

The hosts bound to those subsystems under it will feel superior after gaining abilities beyond ordinary people. If they can solve it by themselves, they can solve it by themselves. If they can't solve it, they can exchange things from the system and rely on the system to solve it.

It's not that they don't follow the rules, it's just that people in this world are just NPCs, and there is no need to abide by the rules of NPCs.

They feel they are above the rules.

It's not that there are no timid people, but although they don't know how to bully NPCs, they don't take them too seriously. Even if something goes wrong, they can just run away.

Cases like Luo Chaochao who encountered problems that he could solve privately did not solve them by himself, but instead chose to respect the local laws and directly report to the officials to solve them...

001 thinks that Luo Chaochao is very special.

He really regarded this as another kind of life. Although it was a bit tiring and troublesome, he did behave well and did everything he could do within the scope of not breaking the law.

[Outside Nanluo Alley is the scope of inspection by patrolling officers and soldiers, and he will pass by the entrance of Nanluo Alley in 10 minutes. 】The system finally compromised, and began to give Luo Chaochao a little help within his ability.

Although Nanluo Alley is biased, it is not so biased that the officers and soldiers on patrol do not come. Luo Chaoxi had actually dealt with officers and soldiers before, but they were his guests at that time, but they directly arrested them. The current situation will never let people go.

[The third page of No. 70 of the metaphysics class in the mall has a maze symbol. ] Just when Luo Chaochao was worried about how to keep people under the special circumstances of exposing his store, the system gave Luo Chaochao a trick.

Being too honest is bad.

If anything, his mind froze.

Obviously the system has many useful functions, but Luo Chaochao just couldn't think of it, and needs to remind himself.

【thanks, thanks! 】 Luo Chaochao was reminded by the system, and suddenly realized.

It's just heartbreaking to see that the maze talisman is so expensive.

Forget it, just use it.

It's a waste of money.

Luo Chaochao bought it for five hundred cash, walked lightly to the kitchen door, and pasted it on the kitchen door.

The thief in the kitchen was still rummaging through boxes and cabinets, not knowing that he couldn't leave. After Luo Chaochao finished posting, he quickly ran out of the door, got out of Nanluo Alley, and ran to the main street.

After all, it was early in the morning at this point, and the place was relatively out of the way. Most of the shops were closed. The system was right. The officers and soldiers had indeed patrolled here. Luo Chaoxi could see the lanterns slowly approaching in the distance at the entrance of the alley. There are also several officers and soldiers who are completely unknown.

When Luo Chaochao saw them, he ran over as if he had seen a savior. When the patrolling officers and soldiers saw Luo Chaochao, they subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

"Master, I finally found you guys! A thief broke into my shop! He went to my kitchen to rummage and I locked him in. Can you guys go and have a look?!"

"...This is, Boss Luo?" When Luo Chaochao was explaining, someone at the end of the officers and soldiers called out to Luo Chaochao in surprise.

When Luo Chaoxi saw it, it turned out to be one of his customers. He had told Luo Chaoxi to go to his shop more, but he didn't expect to meet him tonight.

"Do you know?"

"Captain, it's the super delicious barbecue restaurant I told you about when I went to work at night." But the officer was also a little strange, "Why do you want to steal something from your kitchen? It can't be stealing meat, right?"

Several other officers and soldiers also laughed when they heard the words, "Is it so delicious that you want to steal meat in the middle of the night? Then we will definitely eat it tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go and have a look first." It was the team leader who stopped them from guessing. After all, now that Luo Chaoxi came directly to ask for help, they couldn't waste time here.

Several people hurriedly silenced, and followed Luo Chaoxi all the way to Nanluo Alley.

Luo Chaochao opened the door, and then led the officers and soldiers to the kitchen door.

At this time, everyone heard the sound of crockery breaking and cabinets being knocked over from Luo Chaochao's kitchen.

Luo Chaochao lifted the effect of the spell, and the thief inside seemed to realize that he could leave, and he didn't care to attract attention, so he planned to jump out of the window and escape.

The wooden window was violently smashed open. Although the thief had no force, he was very flexible. He immediately wanted to take advantage of the time difference to escape. He directly pushed down an empty water tank by the window, trying to stop the officers and soldiers , It's a pity that the officers and soldiers are much better than him, and they smashed the water tank directly, making a loud noise, and soon, there were complaints from the neighbors next door.

The captain was the fastest. He kicked open the door and rushed in. The black-clothed thief came out of the window and was grabbed. Then he swung himself, pushed the man down, and pinned him to the ground with his hands and knees. , The thief screamed and begged for mercy loudly.

"Guard! I don't dare, Guan!" the man wailed.

As soon as he came out, the neighbors' voices became louder.

Luo Chaoxi twitched the corner of his mouth, and immediately understood that he was coming to eat melons.

The captain didn't care about this, and directly tore off the thief's black turban and mask, revealing his face.

Luo Chaoxi has never seen this person before. This thief is just an ordinary face between the age of a young man and a middle-aged man. He has only been in this world for less than twelve hours, and this is the only person he has seen. A few, I really have no impression of him at all.

"Wang Erlai?!" The captain immediately recognized the other party's identity when he saw his face, "You were just released! Here to steal again!"

When Luo Chao Chao heard this, he was still a habitual offender.

"Officer, please spare me!" Wang Erlai shouted, "I am wronged! I am wronged, Official!"

"Wronged? If you are wronged, you dress like this and run to someone's house? You run away when you see us?!" The captain knew that Wang Erlai must be in trouble as soon as he saw Wang Erlai.

This person is a habitual offender here. He stays in the prison in Kangzhou City every day, and he will go in again soon after he goes out.

This time too, less than a month has passed since the last time he came out, and he was caught by them again.

The gate was open, and the disheveled melon-eating crowd arrived at the scene and followed the traces all the way to the backyard. There was an officer and soldier in front of them, but no one dared to steal the things in Luo Chaochao shop. With the acquiescence of the officers and soldiers, they came to the backyard. Saw these guys.

"Oh, why is it Wang Erlai? After he came out, he came to do bad things again." When the surrounding melon eaters saw Wang Erlai, they sighed the same as the officers and soldiers.

"Hand over what you stole!" The captain ignored the others and continued to ask Wang Erlai instead.

"I didn't steal!"

"You set him up, and I'll search." Several team members set up Wang Erlai, tied his hands, and the captain went up to touch things.

In addition to a small knife, he also took out a small bag of white powder.

[Strong laxative. 】The system immediately identified what it was, and Luo Chaochao frowned.

What hatred and what resentment?Want to give yourself laxatives?

In addition to the bag of powder, the team leader found a large bag of stuff on Wang Erlai's chest. When he opened it, he found a bag of marinade that had been crushed, and a few pieces that Luo Chaochao hadn't made before. Good for cured meats in the cabinet.

"That's my marinade and meat!" Luo Chaochao said immediately.

"It's really for the meat!" Several officers and soldiers were dumbfounded, but the surrounding melon-eating crowd was in an uproar.

Some people really knew how lively it was when Luo Chaoxi went out to set up a stall, and some even joined in the fun and bought some, and then couldn't resist buying some, and finally came back after eating a full stomach.

They knew that Luo Chaoxi would be open tomorrow, so they didn't bother Luo Chaoxi at this time. As a result, within a few hours, Luo Chaoxi's house was burglarized.

Or to steal Luo Chao Chao's meat!

And the seasoning--

"Why did you steal these from me?" Luo Chaochao asked.

In fact, he knew that it was definitely not as simple as stealing meat, because Luo Chaochao heard that he said it was difficult to do business by himself in the kitchen, which meant that there was definitely someone behind him.

Their goal is their own sauce, not simply want to eat meat.

It's a pity that Luo Chaochao can't explain it, and there is not enough evidence now, as long as the other party bites tightly, Luo Chaochao can't help it.

That can only rely on the system.

"Of course it is to eat!" Wang Erlai naturally couldn't confess to his employer when there were so many people, so he could only kill him because he came to steal meat, and that's all he could say at this time.

"Fart, what are you doing stealing the sauce?"

"I bought the sauce and went back, can't I eat it myself?"

That seems to make sense.

"Boss, people who eat delicious meat like you are here to steal." The neighbors sighed, "This is too popular."

Luo Chaoxi smiled wryly and said, "How could I have imagined that, if the person who came today is for the recipe, wouldn't he be going to my room?"

"That's dangerous."

The melon-eaters who were still watching the excitement heard Luo Chaoxi say that they might go to their bedroom, and immediately thought of the blade found on Wang Erlai.

Boss Luo stayed up so late, if he was discovered, he might encounter something.

Luo Chaochao is good-looking, and his body is slim. He looks very weak in a slightly looser clothes. Compared with Wang Erlai, who is five big and three thick, Luo Chaochao can be described as pitiful.

"It's okay, it's okay, luckily nothing happened to anyone."

Seeing Luo Chaochao's frustrated and frightened expression, all the aunts and uncles around came to comfort Luo Chaochao, telling him not to be afraid.

On the contrary, the officers and soldiers noticed that Wang Erlai trembled when Luo Chaoxi said the word formula.

He immediately understood what was going on, and felt around Wang Erlai's body again, and finally found a small paper bag in a sandwich with a small layer of dry powder inside.

In these dry powders, there is the taste of the marinade without adding water.

"Sure enough, you even stole the human formula!"

Suddenly, there was an uproar!

"I'm not! I'm not!"

But with the physical evidence in hand, Wang Erlai couldn't argue at all, and was taken away by officers and soldiers. Even Luo Chaochao was taken away to record a statement.

In addition to dealing with these officers and soldiers, Luo Chaoxi also kept paying attention to Wang Erlai's expression. When the officers and soldiers pressed Wang Erlai out, he also attracted the attention of several people, but it was early morning after all, and the people who were still awake really not much.

When he left Nanluo Alley and walked to the street, Wang Erlai kept looking at a Rongji restaurant.

Wing Kee Restaurant?

Luo Chaochao glanced at Rongji Restaurant.

This place is bigger than my own shop, does this restaurant think highly of me?

It's a pity that Wang Erlai killed the man who just went to steal meat during the interrogation, but it's impossible to torture him directly to extract a confession for the crime of theft, so he can only be locked up in prison for a few days.

And because he has numerous criminal records, this time he will be squatting for a month.

"Can I see him again?" Luo Chao Chao could have left directly, but he had a guess.

Since it's the victim, it's definitely okay.

Luo Chaochao met Wang Erlai.

After the meeting, Luo Chaoxi didn't do anything, but asked directly: "Did the owner of Rongji Restaurant ask you to do it?"

How could Wang Erlai think that Luo Chaoxi had hit the mark directly, and his expression was a little uncontrollable.

[Is there any props that can make him have nightmares? 】

[Yes, the seventh page of metaphysics. 】

This nightmare spell is much cheaper than the obsession charm. Luo Chaochao handed him the spell folded into a small triangle from between several poles: "Don't you want the formula?"

"...What do you mean?" After saying that, Wang Erlai still couldn't help the temptation and stretched out his hand.

But the charm was absorbed as soon as it touched the opponent's skin. Luo Chaoxi smiled and retracted his hand, ignoring Wang Erlai's horrified eyes when he found the thing disappeared, and explained: "It's nothing, but if you don't obey, you will be found by dirty things." Come to the door."

After speaking, Luo Chaochao turned his head and left.

When he left, he also greeted several officers and soldiers, and got a promise that they would come to eat tomorrow.

When he got home, the neighbors couldn't bear it anymore and went to sleep. Luo Chaoxi closed the door behind his back, making sure that there was nothing missing in the house, and then went to tidy up the kitchen.

And several hours had passed by this time, Luo Chaoxi tidied himself up, and Luo Chaoxi relaxed.

[Tong, you are really useful. 】

【Thanks. 】The system readily accepts Luo Chaochao's compliment.

With the system at his back, Luo Chaoxi felt a lot more at ease, but now he was no longer in the mood to sleep. Instead, he went back to his room and opened the system store to see if there was anything he could protect himself.

Now I am in my store, and there is a protective array in my store to protect my safety, but what if I am not in the store?At that time, there was no system protection, and if he really ran into any enemy, he would definitely be the one who was unlucky.

Luo Chaochao was covered with a cool summer quilt, flipping through the system store on the bed.

He didn't look at the ingredients, recipes, and daily necessities for the time being, but clicked on the column of special items.

He originally thought that these things would not be accessible until he had upgraded two levels.But now it seems that it is better for me to make plans as soon as possible. The amount of silver that can be used in Luo Chaochao's account is about six taels.

Originally comparing the prices in this world, Luo Chaochao felt that he was quite rich.But with the calculations like this now, there is still a long way to go to live a more comfortable life.

Luo Chaochao rummaged around in the store for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and spent 500 Wen to buy five talismans, three for attack and two for defense.

Of course, it was the lowest level, but Luo Chaochao couldn't afford dozens or hundreds of high-grade talismans.

Luo Chaochao looked at it with heartache, especially when he saw that the cinnabar and talisman paper in the mall could buy thousands of copies.

How about learning by yourself?

Luo Chaochao turned to the back, and sure enough, he saw the book teaching talismans.

[You have to get started before you can learn this. 】The system prompts next to it,【Eight Meridians of Extraordinary Meridians have not been opened yet, learning this now is half the effort and easy to waste. 】

The system gave Luo Chaochao a choice, and chose the most expensive one that Luo Chaochao could buy among the elementary books.

"Introduction to Body Refining", Luo Chaochao guessed right, there are "Introduction to Foundation Establishment" and "Introduction to Golden Elixir" later on, and you can also turn to the more advanced "Introduction to Yuanying" and "Introduction to Cave Void" , the most advanced is a book called "Crossing Tribulation, From Beginning to Giving Up".

The name Luo Chaochao thought the system was playing tricks.

The book "Introduction to Body Refining" is very thin, with less than fifty pages in my hand, but it is written in great detail. What to do every day, how to cultivate, and how to feel the aura between heaven and earth are all clearly written, even if it is never Luo Chao Chao, who has never been in contact with it, can understand it.

What surprised the system even more was that Luo Chaochao fell into samadhi directly after watching it!

This day...

The system is speechless, but it also quietly stays in Luo Chaochao's sea of ​​consciousness, protecting Luo Chaochao.

Luo Chaochao didn't know what 001 was thinking, at least when he woke up it was already daylight, and the system 001 greeted him as usual.

[Good morning, host, it is 7:30 in the morning. 】001 said, 【Congratulations, you have already started, but I still suggest you take a bath. 】

Luo Chaoxi was stunned, he didn't feel it just now, but now he suddenly smelled a bad smell.He looked around and found that the stench came from himself. He didn't care about saving money, so he asked the system to separate a separate bathroom next door, took off his clothes and washed himself from head to toe.

To say that magic is really magical, Luo Chaoxi feels light and refreshed all over himself. The dark illnesses accumulated from staying up late and working overtime in the past and the exhaustion from yesterday's busy day are all gone, and he even feels I can immediately go downstairs and run ten kilometers to prove that my body is very strong.

But the dirt from his body still made Luo Chaochao feel a little nauseous.

It took Luo Chaochao nearly half an hour to take a bath. The hair length of normal men in modern times also grows to the waist. I am used to it, I don't know how to tie my hair, so I can only let it loose, I randomly found a hairband in the backpack and tied it casually, and changed into the most low-key novice suit in the backpack, and then I came down from the stairs.

Needless to say, the physical state after cultivating immortality is different, walking is much lighter, and even thinking is much clearer. Books that need to be read several times can now have a general impression after reading it once, and can be obtained after reading it twice. Remember, the calculation questions that originally had to be drafted can now be answered in my mind, and with the assistance of the system, Luo Chaochao feels that he is in a good state.

The only bad thing is probably only your own wallet,

Now Luo Chaochao only has the rent and arrears reserved in advance, as well as the subsequent working capital. Apart from these, Luo Chaochao has nothing left in his pocket.

I hope it sells well at night, otherwise there is really no money left.

It's not too early for Kansai.

Originally, it was planned to come in the afternoon, but Kansai had other things in mind, so he chose to come in the morning.

But when he went out and walked to Luo Chaochao's store, he found that Luo Chaochao's store was being talked about around him.

Yesterday...was stolen?

Kansai was shocked.

He hurriedly stopped a person to ask, and the person saw that someone was curious, and said happily: "The food made by the owner is so delicious! Even Wang Erlai went to steal meat to eat in the middle of the night! I will try it at night." Try it and see how delicious this can be!"
