As she was busy interviewing her prospective future employees, her main mission was also progressing and things were getting much better.
She didn’t have any strength to think about anything else and completing the mission was all that matters to her.
After three days of intense interviews, she finally managed to hire the staff that she wanted, the three ladies were very good. They were well learned, and the three of them were cultivators.
One was a martial disciple and the other two were still martial apprentices. There was no guarantee at this stage that she will be able to complete her mission but looking at the 77% progress on the thirteenth day, her mood was much better than before.
Alayna had the three new girls to sign the contracts and since she wanted them to learn as fast as they can, she had them move into the staff house. Elena finally wasn’t alone as she now has roommates.
On the fourteenth day, Alayna was currently watching as the new employees work while serving the customers and Sonya was doing her best at the till with Elena guiding her.
Alayna’s job was very easy, talking to customers and watching everything else that was happening. It just so happened that around six hours were left till the shop closed for the day and her 83% progress was nagging her a lot.
As her own money wasn’t counted when doing missions, she was facing a huge and depressing dilemma that was driving her crazy.
"Lady boss, why are you stressed?"
"Yes, you have been like this for a couple of days now. How can we help?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Alayna felt so much warmth as she listened to her regular customers asking about her welfare. She couldn’t possibly tell them that she was currently on a mission and she was about to fail.
To be honest, she didn’t have a lot of rules when it comes to this system. She wasn’t allowed to tell anyone about the existence of the system but there wasn’t anywhere she had seen or read that she wasn’t allowed to in her own special way convince people to help her.
Although she couldn’t personally advertise her own shop for many reasons, she couldn’t help but wonder if it is possible to give this a try.
She didn’t want to fail at all, owning a supermarket was her dream come true, and just thinking of the several things she will be selling in the future, she was already beaming with happiness.
"It’s nothing much, it’s just that ummm, I will be truly happy if those of you who are richer than others use some high-level spirit stones. He he he," she jokingly said as she looked at her customers.
"Ha ha, lady boss is quite funny!"
"She is true!"
"Don’t worry boss, I will definitely buy with them."
"Yes, yes."
"…"
The chatter started again and she continued to tease the customers. As the system didn’t reprimand her or give her a warning, she was relieved to hear about that.
She just hopes that her mission will get fulfilled before the end of the day.
Just like that time was passing and the progress bar was also moving and this was something that needed to be celebrated.
Around lunch, Alayna left the shop and drove her car back home. She was going to have lunch with the kids, she didn’t want them to be lonelier than they already were.
She was disappointed however after she arrived, those two brats were busy cultivating and she regretted deeply pushing them to this point but seeing them working hard also made her look at them proudly.

’These are my kids!’
Being transmigrated as a waste, Alayna was just happy to adopt kids with such a rich cultivation level. It will even be great if they get into big sects but this is something that she will talk about with them when the time is right.
After watching the kids, she went to warm up her food and have a bite. It’s just that when she was in the middle of eating, something crazy happened that made her wonder who exactly visited the shop when she was gone.
[Mission progress 95%.]
This was something that she wasn’t expecting at all, she had been gone for less than an hour and yet a miracle happened. As much as she was desperate to find out the reason why her progress shot up like this, enjoying her lunch was her first priority.
When she was done eating, she checked the kids for the last time and left in her car. When she arrived at the shop, she found other people talking and it was quite a scene.
Dumbfounded by what was happening, she pulled one of the staff to ask what has happened.
"Lady boss, some immortals just came and bought things like crazy. We have never seen something like this before," the young girl was so excited as she narrated what had happened.
Alayna found it a pity to not have seen these big shots but it was okay as long as they emptied their pockets at her shop.
At the same time, Alayna had no idea that the Heavenly sect had sent some scouts to her shop to find out what was really going on at that shop. As the royal family’s movements were hardly hidden from the sect.
So, it wasn’t difficult to find out about the existence of the shop. For every powerhouse that emerges on Niafell, it was their business to find out where they came from and why they are there.
The upper echelons wanted to know who opened the shop and what they wanted by showing up from nowhere. And as scouts, the team sent were geniuses and it comprises of ten young cultivators from the age of eighteen to thirty.
All ten of them possess green and blue spirit roots, and it could be seen by how the Heavenly sect sent these people that they meant serious business.
Only three of them had visited the shop to check it out first and since the sect had given them a lot of spirit stones, they bought everything. As each person was allowed to only buy one single item, the three just bought as much as they could.
When they arrived at the inn where the other was settled.
"What did you find out?" the team leader asked as soon as the three returned.
"We have done our best and so far, we can tell that whoever is behind this shop is very powerful. We failed to sense much as a barrier was stopping us from doing so."
"Umm, and it also felt like if we push too much we were going to suffer in the end."
"We heard from others that anyone that causes trouble will be zapped by lightning and blacklisted from ever buying anything from the shop."
The rest of the team listened as the three narrated what they heard and saw at the shop.
"Did you see the lady boss?" this was the person they all wanted to see.
Who wouldn’t want to meet the person operating such a unique shop?
Selling snacks and beverages wasn’t something new, it only begins to attract attention when one starts selling exotic things that no one has ever heard of or seen before. And items that contain spiritual energy and can improve one’s cultivation.
While shaking their heads, one of the three answered, "no, she went for lunch but if we want to see her, we can do that after lunch."
Hearing this, the team leader’s curiosity was piqued, "then it’s good that way. I will visit the shop alone. You all stay here and check if there is anything that we should be wary of in the items that you bought."
The nine all agreed with their leader, after all, seniority was something that everyone respected and followed.
Alayna still didn’t know what was happening and simply sat in her previous position and watched as customers came and went.
Around three in the afternoon, Alayna couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows as she looked at the man standing in the queue.
With a glance she could tell that he was powerful even more than her but seeing him standing obediently in line while waiting for his chance, her impression of him rose up.
The man also noticed that someone was looking at him and when he looked at her, he couldn’t help but shudder with fear. He wanted to scan her deeply but that fire halo surrounding her made his eyes hurt.
’She isn’t as simple as she looks. I wonder who exactly is backing her!’
After receiving that shock, the man didn’t look at Alayna again and waited for his time to get into the shop and see what he can buy. As he didn’t lack money, he picked out everything that fascinated him and went to pay the bill.
Alayna had been keeping up tabs on the man so when he left the shop, she smiled as the progress of the mission rose up once more. With only less than two hours left, she was almost there.
The heavenly sect wasn’t the only sect out there, there were also others and if the Heavenly sect was making a move, it also meant that the others were doing the same.
So, Alayna’s shop found a surge of late customers arriving after four and Alayna was clasping her hands in deep prayer.
Seeing the remaining customers leaving, Alayna respectfully sends them off and a smile appeared on her face.
