Hearing this, Ye Yun hurriedly called everyone inside the shop to head toward the observation carriage.
"Everyone, let's step out of my little shop for a moment. The shop is about to undergo an upgrade."
Hearing this, the group stood up one after another and headed toward the observation carriage.
The three little ones ran the fastest, scurrying toward the observation carriage with pattering footsteps.
Soon, everyone arrived at the observation carriage.
Silver Wolf, who had been catching up on sleep in her own "private room," sat on the sofa looking displeased, crossing her legs.
She had been sleeping soundly when Ye Yun woke her up, claiming they were going to do some remodeling.
How annoying! It seriously disrupted this great Silver Wolf's rest!
Welt looked at Ye Yun and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Ye Yun, you mentioned just now that your shop is about to upgrade?"
Ye Yun, who was communicating with the system, smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
"That's right. A very fun feature will be added then. But let's not get ahead of ourselves; I need to handle the shop upgrade first, and you'll find out when the time comes."
Hearing Ye Yun's words, Welt and the others had their curiosity thoroughly piqued.
However, they did not disturb Ye Yun, who was fully focused on communicating with the system.
[Notice: The shop is under renovation. The host can use 5,000 Stellar Jades to expand the shop's scale. Would you like to do so?]
Ye Yun thought for a moment and asked in his mind.
"How much can it be expanded?"
[Notice: It will increase the space by 5 times, adding 3 booth seating areas, 1 sofa tea-break area, 1 reception room, 1 host-exclusive lounge, and 1 library.]
The previous items didn't register much with Ye Yun, as the current booth seats and other facilities were sufficient.
Only this exclusive lounge struck right at Ye Yun's heartstrings.
There were no proper bedrooms in the shop, and lately, he had been laying down makeshift bedding in the data room with Dan Heng.
"Upgrade! Hurry up and upgrade it for me!"
[Notice: 5,000 Stellar Jades have been successfully deducted from the host. The shop is expanding and will be completed in one hour.]
Having settled the matter of the shop, Ye Yun walked to the side and began chatting with everyone.
...........
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour went by.
[Notice: The shop upgrade is complete. The host may now return to the shop. Wishing the host a prosperous business.]
Ye Yun heard the prompt chime from the system.
"Let's go, everyone. The shop upgrade is finished; let's go take a look together."
Hearing this, Welt and the others felt a surge of curiosity.
Everyone entered the shop.
Upon entering, everyone was deeply shocked.
This... this, how did this place become so huge?
As they saw, the area near the entrance remained much like before, featuring the kitchen, the small bar counter, three booth seats, and a long dining table in the middle.
Now, not only that, but a massive new area had been added on the right side.
In the center of this area was an oversized sofa tea-break area capable of accommodating dozens of people for rest.
Inside, there were sofas of numerous shapes: rabbits, whales, lions, tigers, ramen bowls, golden ingots, thrones, and even a lazy sofa shaped like a garbage can.
Seeing the animal-shaped sofas, Caelus—wait, Klee, Hook, and Diona instantly lit up with excitement.
"Wow! This place is so pretty!"
The three little ones charged toward the sofa area and started playing, kicking off their shoes and leaping back and forth among the sofas, jumping around and having a wonderful time.
Ye Yun instructed.
"Play safely."
The three little ones chorused a unified "Okay."
Afterward, Ye Yun and the others continued their tour.
Next to the tea-break area were a lottery shop, three booth seating areas, and an ultra-large room, with numerous art pieces hanging on the surrounding walls.
They arrived at the lottery shop.
The interior of the lottery shop was quite minimalist, featuring only 5 rows totaling 25 bench seats, a machine for purchasing lottery tickets, and a giant display screen.
On the display screen, the grand prize of the current period was being shown.
[Prize of the Current Period: Spatial Teleportation Ability
Description: Can consume stamina to briefly execute a spatial teleportation. Maximum teleportation distance per use: 1,000 meters.
Value: 100,000 Stellar Jades]
After taking a look, everyone grew interested; this prize turned out to be a special ability that could directly enhance one's combat strength.
Spatial teleportation.
This was an ability tied to space itself, and anything connected to space was bound to be extraordinary.
Ye Yun checked the price of the lottery ticket: 1,000 Stellar Jades per entry.
Ye Yun directly bought one entry, and Welt, Zhongli, and the others each bought one entry as well.
Buy a lottery ticket just for fun—who knows, maybe they might actually win?
After purchasing their tickets, the group arrived at the doorway of a very spacious room.
Ye Yun pushed the door open.
A huge reception room came into view.
Inside the reception room, the overall style was exceptionally elegant.
There was a giant floor-to-ceiling window, by which stood a tea table adorned with a very exquisite tea set.
Near the tea table, many clump bamboos and fresh flowers were planted.
On the left-hand side upon entering, there was also a small private cinema with limited seating—only 5 seats in total.
Zhongli and Welt fell in love with this place instantly, feeling that it was practically tailor-made for them.
The two exchanged glances and decided to stay right here, telling Ye Yun to make himself at home.
Ye Yun looked at the two of them, speechless for a moment. Good grief, they were really planning to hang out right here.
Ye Yun turned his gaze toward the remaining Dan Heng.
"What about you?"
Dan Heng thought for a moment and said.
"I'll go check out the library. The room next door seems to be the library."
With that, Dan Heng left the reception room and headed toward the adjacent library.
Ye Yun then also left the reception room and walked toward his own exclusive room.
His exclusive room was located behind the small bar counter.
Ye Yun pushed the door open to reveal a large studio-apartment layout, spanning roughly around 60 square meters of space.
Inside the room, there was only a sofa, a dining table, a wardrobe, and a two-meter-wide large bed.
As for the rest of the furniture, Ye Yun would need to purchase it himself.
For the remainder of the time, Ye Yun busied himself decorating his room.
Silver Wolf returned to her own "private room," burrowed into the sofa, pulled the blanket over herself, and fell fast asleep instantly.
.........
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, night fell.
Stelle opened her eyes sleepily, checked the time, and was stunned to realize she had slept for an entire day, with the hour already approaching 19:00.
With a swift carp-like spring, Stelle leaped up from the bed, put on her clothes, and walked toward Ye Yun's shop.
Yawning heavily, Stelle pushed the door open.
Upon catching sight of the scene inside the shop, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and froze in place.
"I think I walked into the wrong place."
Stelle closed the door and carefully double-checked.
That's not right—she hadn't walked into the wrong place!
Stelle opened the door once more and stepped inside.
"No way! What happened to this place?! I just took a nap, and the place changed this much?"
At that moment, Silver Wolf, who had just woken up and was eating a meal nearby, spoke up.
"You didn't walk into the wrong place. While you were sleeping, that jerk Ye Yun redecorated the shop."
Hearing this, Stelle finally understood: so that was how it was.
