Seeing the enemies approach them, the two inside the arena quickly reacted as they had their pets quickly attack.
During this time, they tested out the new skills that Lin Fan had told them their pets had learned and were shocked to see that it was all true, confirming Lin Fan's identity as a Master Monster Trainer!
This news sent ripples through the entirety of Green Wood City.
But the next day, there was almost not a single negative review of Lin Fan's shop left. The only ones that were left were from his competitors who hated the fact that he had taken all their business.
People started lining up in front of his shop early in the morning, but of course no one dared to cause trouble in this shop because they had all heard the rumours of the owner's backing. Even the Mu Family gave him face, who were they to try and cause trouble?
Just like that, the morning rush came and passed, with the training spots being quickly filled and the pet food being sold.
Once that was done, the store fell into a silence again.
During this time, Angela had brought the kids over.
She didn't bring them early in the morning since she knew that they would be terrified by the mass of customers that filled the store in the morning. It was better to bring them later to let them slowly learn at their own pace.
For the two smaller girls, it would be hard for them to lift the heavier goods out to the front, so Lin Fan had tasked them with handling the register and cleaning up the store. They easily picked up the cleaning part, but they couldn't handle the register well since they never learned how to read, write, and to do simple calculations.
But since Mu Xiao Hai now had a habit of visiting the store whenever he was free, Lin Fan roped his "nephew" into teaching these kids.
Mu Xiao Hai's first reaction when he saw these two girls was to doubt Lin Fan again, but seeing the happy smiles on their faces, he could tell that this wasn't what he thought it was.
The real surprise from this was actually how good Mu Xiao Hai was at teaching kids. Even with the temper that he had, when it came to these kids, he was very gentle and careful.
As for the boy, Lin Fan put him to work in the back moving all the different goods they had and at work stocking the shelves.
While it was hard work, the boy didn't mind since the pay was decent and it was good honest work.
As for Song Shu, Lin Fan had her manning the counter full time, helping customers with any questions and helping with the register since unlike the other two girls, she was surprisingly well taught.
This made Lin Fan curious, but there was a pained look on Song Shu's face when he asked her about her past, so he had never pushed this topic.
So the work was divided and they learned on their first day before being overwhelmed on their second day.
Lin Fan took the tiger training method and threw these kids off the cliff, letting them handle the morning rush by themselves.
By the time the morning rush was over, the kids were collapsed on the counter, looking dead tired.
Song Shu surprisingly had the hardest time of them all, as she was very popular with the customers. Not only were there customers that had questions for her, there were many customers that came over just to pat her on the head and offer her a treat. She took every single treat and stuffed her cheeks with them. When Lin Fan saw how she looked with all the treats stuffed in her cheeks, he really couldn't help thinking that her nickname really did fit.
But thinking about that, he then thought about her real name. Still since she wasn't willing to speak of the past right now, Lin Fan could only wait until she was comfortable enough to do so.
When the morning rush was over on the second day, Mu Xiao Hai came once again to teach the girls, but he was surprised to see his pupils lying on the ground looking exhausted. He looked at Lin Fan with a curious gaze and Lin Fan said, "I let them handle the morning rush."
Mu Xiao Hai immediately understood since he had been here for the morning rush yesterday. The only reason he wasn't here today was because he had a meeting this morning. Still he couldn't help saying, "Isn't it a bit too early for them?"
Lin Fan gave a shrug, "I hired them to do work, they're working for their pay."
Mu Xiao Hai wanted to say more, but Yang Yun came forward to stop him.
The reason why Mu Xiao Hai wasn't here this morning for the morning rush was because Yang Yun had actually called him over.
Yang Yun pacified Mu Xiao Hai before coming forward to greet Lin Fan with a slight bow, "Owner Lin, I hope you're well this morning."
Lin Fan was a bit surprised at being treated this politely, but he still said, "I'm fine."
Yang Yun nodded before heading over to the little kids and taking out breakfast for them, as well as several pieces of cake for dessert.
Once she smelled the cake, Angela quickly came over as well. However, instead of taking all the cake for herself, she divided them among the kids. It seemed like even the invincible Angela couldn't help herself in front of cute kids.
Lin Fan noted all of this, but he didn't say a thing.
Finally Yang Yun couldn't take it anymore and said, "Owner Lin, can I discuss something with you?"
Lin Fan looked at her with a faint smile and said, "You couldn't take it anymore? There's no need to be this indirect, just tell me what you have to say."
Yang Yun was surprised at first, but then she said, "There's an auction being held tonight by the Treasure Pavilion tonight. It's a yearly auction with many different treasures. My master was wondering if Owner Lin is interested in coming."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes when he heard this as he said, "I already told you, there's no need to be this indirect. Just spit it out already."
Yang Yun nodded and then said, "My master wishes to ask if Owner Lin would be willing to submit a pill for the auction."
Lin Fan fell into thought for a bit before saying, "What conditions does she have?"
Yang Yun revealed an awkward smile, she didn't expect to be seen through this quickly, but she still said, "My master wishes to watch you as you refine the pill and when it is being announced, she wishes for the auctioneer to announce that this pill was inspected by her."
Lin Fan fell into thought once again.
These terms were acceptable for him since he did owe her a favour and there was also the fact that there was still the mission from the system.
After Lin Fan had finished the 'exposing the fraud' mission, he had received another mission to spread his fame as an alchemist. The system stated that as the owner of the greatest pet shop, how could others doubt his ability to create pet food? Therefore, he had to be known as the greatest alchemist as well as the greatest pet trainer.
But Lin Fan wasn't worried about this quest since his reward from the previous mission was actually a God Tier Alchemy Skill, the Nine Revolution Pill Refining Technique.
At first Lin Fan didn't have any experience with alchemy, but it was a good thing that he had the Any Place Door. He had gone back to Snow Wind City during the nights to receive alchemy lessons from Momonga.
Momonga just taught Lin Fan the basics of alchemy since he was asked to do so, but then when Lin Fan used the God Tier Alchemy Skill, he was shocked by how effective it was. He had been practicing alchemy himself for several thousand years, but he had never seen a technique as refined as this. However, when he thought about it, it did make sense with the master of this store, so he didn't worry about it in the end. As long as he continued working for this store, he would receive such things eventually.
After thinking through everything, Lin Fan finally said, "Alright, those terms are acceptable, but I also want something from her."
Yang Yun hesitated a bit before asking, "Owner Lin, what are you asking for?"
Lin Fan pointed at the four kids and Angela eating their cake before saying, "I want her to teach those four kids alchemy skills."
He couldn't stay in this place forever, it was better to give these kids a way of taking care of themselves in the future than to leave them with nothing.
Yang Yun had a difficult look on her face, "Owner Lin, you do know that my master is one of the ten elders of the Alchemy Tower, right?"
Lin Fan just said in an indifferent voice, "So?"
Finally Yang Yun said with a sigh, "Alright, I'll tell my master."
