Chapter 1: Transmigrated as a Convenience Store Ox and Horse

In the early morning, the sun had not yet fully risen below the horizon.

A young man with shoulder-length hair and a handsome face tightened his blue convenience store uniform, which had the words "Neighborhood Express Store" printed on it, and walked into a block.

The early spring wind carries the chill of winter; just blowing by is enough to coat the "Neon Zero" road sign with a thin layer of frost, which quickly turns into dew and slowly slides off after the sun comes out.

"Little Wuji, why are you here so early today?"

A gentle voice came from around the corner, stopping the young man who was walking with his head down.

Turning my head, I saw a somewhat plump old lady wearing a peach wood hairpin.

"Hey Grandma Zhang, why are you up so early?" Chu Wuji rummaged in his employee uniform pocket, pulled out a pack of hand warmers, and handed it over: "We're almost out of milkshake stock, so I'm getting some more to go."

From a perspective visible only to Chu Wuji, a line of small characters appeared above the old woman's head.

[Zhang Guilan (Fruit Shop Owner/Black Market Operator)]

"As people get older, they sleep less." Zhang Guilan smiled and casually took the hand warmer and stuffed it into her arms. "Is it that juice milkshake? Little Wuji, don't forget to bring me the dried fruit after you've made the juice. Grandma will still charge you the same price as before."

"Hey, I already said it's free, Grandma Zhang, no need to say anything more this time. If you send any more money, I'll block your account." Chu Wuji waved his hand: "I'm not chatting anymore, I have to hurry."

"You siblings have it tough too..." Seeing that there was no point in continuing, Zhang Guilan could only nod: "Yes, yes, Xiao Wuji thinks I'm nagging. Go open the shop quickly. If you need any help, just let me know and I'll ask Lao Chen to lend a hand."

In the nearby convenience repair shop, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a matte black mechanical mask covering his left cheek poked his head out and nodded.

Chen Mo (Repairman/Illegal Prosthetic Doctor)

Chu Wuji waved his hand, taking it as acknowledgement. He walked a few hundred meters further and arrived at his convenience store. He skillfully unlocked the door, pulled up the roller shutter, and revealed the store's entrance.

This is a Japanese-style chain convenience store with a blue and white color scheme. Most of the store is made of glass, allowing passersby to see the layout of the store at a glance.

Stepping through the sensor-activated glass door, on the left is a cashier counter and magazine rack that can fit two people. Further ahead is a bar counter with oden pots, hot and cold beverage cabinets, and hot food cabinets.

To the right are rows of shelves, and further back are two large refrigerated display cases, which seem to indicate that there is space behind them but it is not open to the public.

The indoor air conditioner and the incandescent light bulbs turned on simultaneously, emitting a soft hum. Feeling the rising temperature, Chu Wuji took off his scarf and casually tossed it behind the counter. Almost as a muscle reflex, although Chu Wuji was staring blankly at the store, his hands had already expertly picked up the ingredients from the freezer, opened them, and tossed fish balls, lucky bags, and chikuwa into the gradually boiling oden pot. The rich aroma of bonito broth immediately filled the air.

Instead of scrolling through short videos for entertainment as usual, he skillfully opened the brain-computer interface and brought up an encrypted private ledger. It recorded the astonishing sales volume of the "special milkshake" and the profit margin far exceeding that of ordinary fruits.

"The cost is almost zero, and the profit is considerable... It's a pity that the output is still too low."

Nineteen years have passed since Chu Wuji transmigrated to this world, and he has gradually adapted to his new life.

This is a technologically advanced world where humanity has begun colonizing the solar system.

At the same time, this world also has extraordinary powers, such as martial artists who can smash a building with a single punch, or superpowered individuals who can start a forest fire with a single thought. These are not uncommon in this world.

For example, his younger sister in this world is also one of the superpowered individuals.

Strangely, while his younger sister, who was a year younger than him, and his deceased parents both possessed superpowers, Chu Wuji himself was the only one without any abilities.

Fortunately, he had a cheat code.

That was a game interface that had traveled with me through time. I was able to see Uncle Chen and Grandma Zhang's identity information thanks to the abilities of this game interface.

Chu Wuji was reminiscing about the first half of his life when a ringing sound from inside his head suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"It's time to prepare the goods."

Chu Wuji stood up, jumped around to stretch his limbs, and walked straight to the back door of the convenience store. He casually picked up the metal baseball bat leaning against the door and tossed it lightly.

"Ding ding"

The baseball bat struck the ground with a crisp sound and bounced back to Chu Wuji's hand.

Metal baseball bats (white-grey)

[A regular metal baseball bat, after long-term use, will experience some metal fatigue. It may not be a problem to use in the short term, but it might bend under some high-intensity use in the future.]

For some reason, it has a very fragrant fruity scent.

"Can it be used for a few more days?"

Pushing open the back door, Chu Wuji was greeted by a somewhat dilapidated but clean alley. The alley was narrow, and after the convenience store's air conditioner unit took up some space, it could only allow two adult men to pass side by side... except for Liangzi.

In this crowded alley, a small, semi-transparent green door, visible only to Chu Wuji, stood quietly in the center of the alley.

The green door had some paint chips on its surface, revealing the solid wood inside. If it weren't for the fact that its color didn't match Chu Wuji's, he would have thought that a blue Doraemon would push the door open and come out.

Taking two steps forward, Chu Wuji reached out and grasped the metal handle of the small door.

The arrival of the system allowed Chu Wuji to see small doors appearing all over the world, behind which were "game instances".

As a player, Chu Wuji can choose between "One-Click Sweep" or "Challenge Dungeon" each time. The former does not require him to enter the dungeon himself, and the rewards are fixed.

The latter requires you to enter the instance yourself, and the rewards are naturally uncertain.

One of the ingredients for the milkshake that Chu Wuji had previously discussed with Grandma Zhang came from this instance.

"Challenge Dungeon"

Chu Wuji slung the baseball bat over his shoulder, and as he made his choice, his stamina dropped by sixty points on the panel.

At the same time, the green door opened wide, sucking Chu Wuji into it.
