The dinner was a success and soon the shop upgrade was complete. Alayna was very excited so she left early in the morning and didn’t bother with the breakfast, after all the kids can take care of themselves.
Alayna drove the car to the shop and she noticed that the fog was still there but this wasn’t the problem as the fog can only be removed once the supermarket is open to the public again.
She walked into the fog and stood there with a dazzled expression. She rubbed her eyes repeatedly not believing what she was seeing, ’is this really what I signed up for?’
Right in front of her was a huge shop, it was no longer that small convenience store that couldn’t accommodate her customers. She was looking at a normal supermarket, so big and so grand that accommodating more than one hundred people at a time wasn’t a problem.
The name board with ’THE RISING PHOENIX’ was shining so bright and its power was so oppressing by just taking a glance and she couldn’t help but feel pity for those with a lower cultivation base.
The golden phoenix insignia was on top and she couldn’t help but smile at this. She was reminded of her spiritual beast that is always with her, a beast she only took out once as she has never encountered any trouble that the system can’t handle.
Outside the supermarket, the parking lot got extended and the whole lot could accommodate over twenty carriages. There was space for automobiles like her car but the space was only for three cars, she didn’t know where she can get the other two cars, but it didn’t hurt to have more.
There was also space for beasts as it wasn’t humane to keep beasts with the carriages when they can at least rest and have some food while waiting for their owners.
Outside there was also additional space with several small gazebos where people can sit down, eat or relax.
Alayna wasn’t in a hurry to check inside as she knows that the shock, she will receive will be much greater, so it was better to be done with the outside first before checking inside.
She went to the back and smiled happily seeing the restrooms. She checked the lady’s restroom first and inside there were three cubicles, three sinks, the tissue holder, the hand-washer holder, the hands warmer, and a huge mirror.
Its decoration was practically the same as the ones that one sees and known in the modern world. To be honest, there wasn’t anything special about them especially from Alayna’s point of view since she grew up with this kind of thing but in this world, this doesn’t exist so it was different.
The men’s toilets also have three cubicles, a urination station for men and suitable for those that didn’t want to do number 2 and the other facilities were also the same as the ladies’ restroom.
Satisfied with this, she returned to the front again and braced herself for what is to come and what she will see inside.
She opened the door and walked inside and voila the magic space opened up. There were two doors, one for entry and one for the exit. Upon entering the entry door, the trolley baskets and small trolleys were lined up beautifully on the other side and they all carried the phoenix symbol.
On the right side upon entering the supermarket there was a long counter it looks very familiar, a place where those with higher positions work.
She checked the space and seeing just one computer, she didn’t hesitate to check it out. After seeing it working fine, she was satisfied with it. She will decide who will supervise others in the future, and this person can use this counter space.
On its side, there were several shelves, and on them and these spaces were usually for small items like cigarettes, oils, and those daily necessities that we probably can live without if we take a look at them closely.
On the other shelf, she practically didn’t understand what was going on but after observing for a while her eyes lit up seeing the books that were on a hidden shelf. It was the counter for the stokvel registrations and any other things that she will come up with in the future.

For example, some shops back in her home world will have a counter where people will go and buy electricity, deposit money or withdraw from their mobile wallets.
Although she has never done that as her family was rich, it didn’t mean that she didn’t know how to deal with that.
Seeing this, she couldn’t help but think of more crazy ideas to come. Since it was already too late to go back to her home world, she didn’t even know if they missed her, or if someone actually cried when she died but she was going to do all her best to do something positive in this world since she has been given a chance.
After checking this space, she went to the far right of the supermarket and there were several display fridges for drinks and water. This row of display fridges covered the whole wall and it was for different purposes.
There were several rows for other daily essentials like rice, flour, sugar, salt, utilities, and any other items that people need for their day-to-day life.
The display fridges were also for meat products, cheese products, oil products, other beverages, and so on. There were also rows of deep freezers for ice creams, frozen vegetables, meat products, and so on.
The other display fridge was for fresh vegetables while there was space for other fruits and vegetables that didn’t require to be placed in fridges.
There was also the confectionery space where bread, scones, and ready-made food could be sold. She didn’t see any bakery or kitchen, which means that the system will still provide for anything and she doesn’t have to prepare everything herself just like other normal supermarkets.
The tills were four, three for heavy shoppers and one for light shoppers. The tills could accept both monetary currency; copper coins, silver, and gold coins. At the same time, it also has a separate space for placing spirit stones.
There was the barcode sensor which was going to make everything easy for everyone. The supermarket was still empty and since she wasn’t going to open again on this day she was not in any hurry.
[RANDOM MISSION: The host should note down a list of the items that should be sold in the supermarket.]
There wasn’t any reward for this and she wasn’t looking for it this time as she needed to fill this whole shop up.
"Okay, I can do that. Give me the list of what is available and the current number of what I should be picking on my level."
Alayna understood this perfectly, she had been restricted before about the number of things she can put in the shop and since she didn’t have a hypermarket yet, she didn’t believe that she can just fill the whole shop with everything.
[The list currently has two hundred items that the host can choose from. The host can only pick one hundred and fifty and choose wisely.]
Hearing this she was very relieved and looking at the brochure with perfect and marginalized images she was so happy.
Just like that with a pen in her hand, she began to tick the items she finds satisfactory when she was done, she checked repeatedly to see if there is anything she can change and after repeatedly doing this, she came up with the final list.
As soon as she confirmed the list, the supermarket suddenly was covered with another light she had gotten used to and within one minute, the supermarket was filled with a lot of things.
Looking at the vibrant space, she was finally happy, ’this is what a supermarket should be like.’
Yes, she was very satisfied with what she was seeing. All starch products like rice, flour, maize meal, and many others covered one row, so people didn’t need to get confused when they want to look for them.
The same was true for all products in the same family and what she liked was that meat was already packed and was affordable. The prices of the products at some times were so exaggerated and her heartache for the common people.
She didn’t want the common people to suffer while those cultivators with riches get to enjoy benefits. She hoped that there was a way to cover this.
It took her a very long time to check everything and finally, she looked at the office that will be her own in the future. There was a desk in cherry color, a rotating chair that can make anyone go dizzy if one plays too much on it, and a desktop.
At the back, there was a bookshelf for putting files and other things she finds necessary. The fact that she finally has her own working space, she was over the moon, and the feeling was exhilarating.
