For the post office, Alayna wanted to introduce the personal mailboxes where registered individuals will receive their letters. The individuals will pay a certain amount every month or year to keep the box.
And if they are willing, she can also put a mailbox at the customer’s house, and once every week, the postmen can go check if there is any letter to send there.
The office still has some space, so she went there to do some measurements and see how many boxes can be put there. She was going to start by putting them at the supermarket, and find someplace where these boxes will be placed, this way people will get used to them.
Alayna didn’t have time to deal with all of that at the moment as she was still required to open another shop in a place of her own choice. She didn’t want to let Selena down and she was also curious about Astrid, so her choice was to open a shop there.
As for her own kingdom, she will see it in the future. Alayna didn’t leave for Belshoy though, she hired the system once again to construct a post office for her.
After that, spent another day with the kids and departed once more. This time there was no need to rush back as there were no pending issues. She was going to do her best to finish some missions and check on that murderer in Ioneka when she has time.
The three months deadline was fast approaching after all.
Alayna went to see Selena and she told the lady that she wanted to open a shop there. Selena was so happy that she decided on the spot to accompany her to Astrid.
Alayna wasn’t willing to waste a lot of time on the road, so she teleported herself, Selena, and a few maids she wanted to bring along.
Selena was quite surprised with how amazing Alayna was as it wasn’t every day, she gets to see someone powerful enough to teleport to such a long range.
Alayna was invited to stay at Selena’s maternal home and she didn’t reject the invitation. She knew no one there and the family was very friendly, so she got along with them well.
She was however embarrassed seeing how eager Selena was to brag about her but she could tell that the other meant no harm, so she let her go wild.
This also improved Selena’s family’s attitude towards her positively and she was truly happy about that.
The following day, Selena dragged her brother out to help her tour the city, and Alayna could tell that Selena was trying to matchmake the two of them.
To be honest, Alayna didn’t think much about love at this point. She just wanted to excel and provide a better future for her children and family. If she were to engage in a relationship, her attention will be divided and she didn’t want that.
Since her life was very long, it wasn’t too late for her to wait until her children were old and no longer needed her.
Luckily Selena’s brother didn’t seem to be interested in her which was a huge relief. He was however very knowledgeable and also a businessman. The two had the same topic to talk about and became very chatty.
Alayna toured the city and learnt a lot of things. The next day, Sean, Selena’s brother took her to see someone and it was the mayor of Astrid.
She was very glad to see the man, she humbled herself and they talked business-like professional. The mayor didn’t make any moves on her which was another huge relief, it was just that something felt really wrong, especially seeing the mayor and Sean in the same room.
She just didn’t get what exactly she was thinking of even when she left after receiving the documents that allowed her to trade and operate in Astrid.
The next thing on the agenda was to buy either land or shops, so she bought both, with the land on the outskirts of the city. She decided to let the system start from the ground, she didn’t want to be limited like the Belshoy shop.
She also bought another shop to be used as a post office, there was no need to open another magazine agency here. Just one is enough.
To be honest, in a cultivation world, strange phenomena were very normal and as long as one is very powerful then they were capable of doing anything.
So, when people saw a certain land being shielded by a mysterious fog, they all thought that a treasure has emerged and this rumor spread wide. And before the Astrid RISING PHOENIX branch officially opened, a lot of people were looking forward to unveiling whatever was there.
Alayna didn’t mind about all of this and just let them be curious and spread their weird rumors. Only she and Selena’s family knew exactly what was going on.
At the same time, the building that she bought also went under a baptism. As she received a renovation card as a reward last time, she directly used the card on the building she bought to use as a post office.
And she used two more days to check some information and explore the city further.
With Sean’s help, she was able to find some quick-witted candidates suitable to become her employees and since she didn’t know what kind of shop, she was going to receive this time, she made sure to hire at least six people this time, four ladies and two men for security.
While waiting for the system to finish building the shop, something that was taking a bit longer than expected, she trained the four ladies by word of mouth.
She also hired two more people, a professional manager to keep an eye on the shop and an accountant to help with the financial side of the business which was mainly the side hustles and the project’s income.
It took the system five days to finish the construction and when she heard the good news, she dashed to the site to check the good news.
She was surprised greatly when she saw the shop that the system gave her. instead of some convenience store, she was directly promoted to a supermarket.
Although it was level 1, it was still much better than getting a convenience store. The outlay was just the same as the other supermarket back home but two new features didn’t come with the first shop.
Outside the supermarket, there was a building with over five hundred private mailboxes and this scene was enough to make Alayna shed tears of joy. Most of the job had been done by the system and she couldn’t help but become grateful.
The system was so giving that it gave her a free staff house that was just some distance away from the shop. She checked the house and it was quite big, it looked more like a dorm as four people can share one room.
The whole house has eight bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a sitting room, and a dining room. It was enough to accommodate a lot of people in the future, so this time she didn’t need to worry about upgrading a house.
She also checked the post office and the renovations were good, it even came with fifty private mailboxes, something that wasn’t even available at the old post offices now.

Since the system was generous and gave her free private boxes, she decided to sort this issue out with all shops as soon as possible. Procrastination is a bad habit.
Alayna was running out of time actually, she needed to open the shop in two days if she still wanted to receive some rewards. But her employees were still few and at the same time, she needed to teach the new employees practically.
In the end, on the first day, she got ten more people although they weren’t enough and she took all of them to the shop the next day.
All those that were being trained as cashiers, for the first time learnt how to use the strange computer to serve customers and Alayna was very patient with them.
Among the eighteen employees, only five were men at the moment and twelve were ladies. Among the twelve ladies, only eleven were cashiers while one was an accountant.
She still needed seven more people for the job and she was going to deal with that issue after the shop opens.
Alayna wasn’t planning on doing a celebratory feast for opening the shop. On the day of opening, Alayna and Selena’s family, all went to the site. It wasn’t just them but other people were present as well.
Since Alayna didn’t bring her employees directly to learn, no one has ever seen them.
[It looks like everyone is interested in the treasure.]
[I heard that they were the ones that bought the land!]
[What do you think is there?]
