Chapter 9: The System Is Truly Wonderful
“Wow! It smells amazing!”
“The aroma is so rich.”
“And it doesn’t taste fishy at all.”
“I think I’ve discovered something—the drinks from Yu’s really have a uniquely captivating scent.”
“...”
Customers gathered around for the fresh milk tasting couldn’t help but praise it.
Why were they willing to pay such a price? Beyond the effects, it was the on-site tasting experience that drew them in.
Most of them didn’t know much about tea, but they had some real-life experience with it. Previously, they hadn’t been deeply impressed by any tea samples, but drinking Yu’s, they could genuinely feel the fragrance filling the air, and it seemed to clear their minds.
Especially the iced black tea—it truly seemed to calm the inner heat.
Listening to their compliments, Yu Zui poured one cup after another.
“Now, why don’t you try this new product?”
The customers eagerly picked up the cups and took sips.
At first taste, a sweet fragrance lingered on the palate, followed by a rich, creamy milk aroma. After swallowing, a silky sensation traveled down the esophagus, and when it reached the stomach, a comforting warmth spread through.
Even though the milk was kept chilled!
“This is the best milk I’ve ever tasted.”
“The best part is, it’s so refreshing—no greasy aftertaste at all.”
“Do you feel your stomach is more comfortable?”
“Hmm? Kind of, yeah.”
“Definitely! I’ve been dieting, and my stomach’s been a bit troublesome and uncomfortable. This feels noticeably better.”
Among the customers, one person argued earnestly and without hesitation said to Yu Zui, “Boss, I’ll buy a bottle.”
“Alright.”
Yu Zui remained calm. Since opening, the successive surprises had shown her that wealthy customers were plentiful—it all depended on whether the product was worth it.
She just wished those rich people would start counting her among them.
The customer went straight to the counter with the milk to pay.
As soon as the payment was made, the system notification popped up:
【Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed side quest 2.】
【You have received 1 product card.】
Yu Zui took the opportunity to draw cards—the time now was money for her.

【Reward: Yu’s Sour Plum Juice ×10, display cabinet ×1, self-checkout machine ×1】
【Countdown: 23 hours 30 minutes 27 seconds】
After introducing the new product, the advanced version of the quest appeared impatiently.
Not only was the new product priced over a hundred yuan with higher profit margins, but the reward now also included a self-checkout machine. Yu Zui really found it inconvenient to manage both checkout and customer service simultaneously.
She felt the system was truly thoughtful—quietly supporting her in every way!
After ordering 10 bottles of sour plum juice and retrieving the display cabinet, Yu Zui continued to serve customers. More and more people tried the fresh milk; some even brought it to the counter along with oolong tea to pay.
At this moment, a customer came over holding several bottles of iced black tea and oolong tea but carefully set them aside and cautiously asked, “I saw the ingredient list says it’s raw milk, with no additives—is that right?”
“Yes.” Yu Zui trusted the system’s products and answered without hesitation.
“I’m buying it for my child,” the customer, Bai Jingzhu, couldn’t help explaining, “My child has a weak immune system and often gets sick. I heard that your milk can boost immunity, so I wanted to try it.”
“That’s fine,” Yu Zui thought for a moment and replied.
Though the system hadn’t revealed the exact origin of the fresh milk, it certainly wouldn’t be subpar.
“Thank you. I’ll take the remaining five bottles.” Bai Jingzhu said decisively after receiving Yu Zui’s affirmation. She had come mainly for the iced black tea, as she usually felt quite hot, but after trying a cup yesterday, she felt less heat for quite a while, which brought her back today.
She had just bought a bottle of iced black tea, and after coming and going from the store, she confirmed its effect.
That’s why she was now paying attention to the oolong tea!
Everyone desires to look beautiful.
Then, just as she was about to leave, she noticed the fresh milk. Considering her niece’s situation, she decided to give it a try.
After all, her niece was already drinking milk regularly.
“Sure.” Yu Zui agreed and swiftly helped pack the items.
“Will you have more fresh milk later?” Bai Jingzhu looked at the empty shelf and asked.
“Yes.” Yu Zui quickly replied. She had already placed another order just moments ago.
Hearing that, Bai Jingzhu resolved that if the effect was good, she would come again.
By now, it was past 11 o’clock. After Bai Jingzhu left, the shop was left with only a few customers.
After the morning rush of fans, most visitors now were tourists, coming and going.
Yu Zui allowed herself a slight breath of relief.
At this moment, the advanced version of the quest was completed and had evolved into a strengthened version.
【Side Quest 2 Advanced Version Completed.】

The rewards kept getting more generous!
*
Though a bit tired, Yu Zui felt reinvigorated.
She now felt like a donkey, constantly tempted by a carrot dangling in front of her. The only good thing was that this carrot could actually be eaten.
After receiving the reward of 10 bottles of fresh milk, this batch appeared directly behind the counter.
Looking at the freshly arrived milk, Yu Zui suggested, “Can we build a warehouse for the store? So when I retrieve items, they can be placed inside, and I won’t have to grab them out in the open, feeling so conspicuous and nervous.”
Really, in her own store, she felt like a thief, always checking if anyone was watching.
She could only blame her inexperience—she hadn’t thought of this at the start. Now that she had, she decided to try carrying the items to see if it helped. After all, this was part of managing the business.
With that thought, Yu Zui smiled to herself. She felt like she was playing a management game, constantly fixing bugs.
Just as she finished speaking, she noticed a small red dot on the grocery store app.
Opening it, she found a new item in the shop.
【Product: Warehouse】
【Price: 800 yuan】
It cost money?
Surprised for a moment, Yu Zui quickly scolded herself.
The system had already given her so much—she shouldn’t be greedy.
She was a business owner, so paying operational costs was only natural.
She’d also earned quite a bit today, so this expense was worth it.
Most importantly, 800 yuan was already a discounted price.
Yu Zui chose to purchase it.
After buying, nothing happened immediately. She thought it might take effect tomorrow—nighttime would be the best time for installation.
But before long, she received a phone call.
“Hello, is this the store needing a wooden cabinet installed?”
A wooden cabinet? Could it be the warehouse?
“Yes.”
“I’m on my way now. Are you at the store?”
“Yes.”
“Are the materials ready?”
Materials?
【On the second floor.】 the system reminded her.
“They’re ready. Just bring your tools.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up, Yu Zui felt touched and said to the system, “Thank you.”
It turned out the 800 yuan was for labor.
Sniff, sniff—the system was truly wonderful!
