I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 451

Chapter 451: Eating Nuo’er and Eating Grapes

“Ah… I can’t take it anymore! I want to go on strike!”

One warm afternoon, after finishing the lunchtime rush at the café as usual, I handed the remaining tasks over to Vivi and ran out of the café alone.

In the little garden outside, Xiao Mo was wearing a sun hat and holding scissors and a spray bottle, tending to the grapes and roses. When she saw me come out, she gave me a somewhat mischievous smile.

“What’s wrong, wife? Did someone bully you?”

“I’m not your wife!”

I took off my beret, quickly tidied my long hair, and sat down on the small pavilion next to Xiao Mo.

“The number of customers is increasing more and more, and it’s becoming impossible to keep up!”

If the café was only packed during peak meal times a few months ago, the current customer flow is “completely exceeding the café’s capacity.”

You have to understand, our “Shangjing Maid Cat Café” is a large house located in a relatively remote place. Although it looks like an orange-yellow mushroom house from the outside, the interior space is quite large, almost like a dojo.

If we moved out all the furniture, we could easily set up three to five badminton courts on the first floor of the café. It’s really that big.

Furthermore, the café has a second floor. Although the second floor isn’t as large as the first, it’s still an expansion. Besides the first and second floors, the café generally doesn’t prohibit upstairs customers from bringing their food downstairs to play.

Additionally, we’ve added many tables and chairs to the open space outside the café, creating more dining spots. Considering these outdoor dining areas, it’s surprising that we could have so many customers visiting.

However, with the recent trend of “anti-fraud” campaigns on the internet, our café has gained sudden fame. The recent incidents of shortchanging have caught the attention of netizens, and many streamers have started making videos about “fighting against rigged scales.” As a recently famous café, we naturally attracted many streamers coming over to “verify” us.

The café, being a snack shop selling snacks and fruits as a “side business,” saw some streamers bring their own electronic scales. They bought our fruits and snacks and found no instances of shortchanging.

Unable to resist their fans’ repeated requests, they stayed at the café to experience the “cat café atmosphere” and “world’s best internet café” services. Suddenly, people realized that our café seemed to offer a better customer experience than most fast-food restaurants.

?Speaking of this, let me share my own experience. Just take a look—I’m personally not a big fan of cats and am somewhat allergic to cat fur. A friend dragged me to the café, and I saw they had a suggestion box. I casually wrote that I wished there were options for customers allergic to or afraid of cats. Within a couple of days, they had arranged free oranges, anti-cat perfume, and free dust masks. The efficiency was so quick that I thought it was an update for a foreign game server.?

?No exaggeration, the experience at this café is top-notch. There are many helpful tips posted everywhere, along with some cheerful signs. They even have detailed information about all sixty-plus cats, including their names, ages, birthdays, favorite foods, and personalities. When you go to interact with the cats, someone will give you a special booklet with all this information.?

?The kitchen is completely transparent. You can watch the kitchen cameras online, and they clearly list all the daily purchases, such as where they buy the chicken and the exact time of purchase. If you don’t trust the cameras, you can stand at the kitchen door and watch. The kitchen windows are also transparent. The only issue is that the chef is a bit lazy and always playing on his phone when I look.?

?This is true. I’m not a paid promoter—check my account history. I’m a real person. Shangjing Cat Café is a perfect place without any noticeable flaws. Apart from the cute cats and pretty girls, they excel in meeting most people’s needs with their food. Even the rice is completely free. If you’re bold enough, you can eat their sticky rice, get unlimited refills on drinks, interact with the cats when you’re bored, and even use their Wi-Fi and air conditioning to play games all day.?

?Don’t give people bad ideas. It’s because of people like you that the café gets packed during peak meal times. Many people come just to use the air conditioning and eat sticky rice. Nuo’er streams herself making colorful sticky rice every day, and it’s all taken advantage of. She doesn’t even stay on the second floor to rest at noon anymore, she escapes outside instead.?

It’s this kind of ongoing promotion from streamers that has led to an exponential increase in the number of people visiting the café.

As a result, I’ve lost any desire to make money and don’t mind if the morning sticky rice, juice, and oranges are taken for free. I just wish fewer people would come so we could have a bit of a break. The café’s fame has far exceeded our expectations and seems to be developing in a way we can’t control.

So, Xiao Mo and I came up with a “bad idea”: we found some plants from another world with attractive and delicious fruits and contacted the forestry department of Shenzhen City to announce the discovery of a “new species.” We named it “Sweet Sweet Fruit” in the hope of diverting public attention.

However, this news was quickly overshadowed by another round of trending topics like “The adorable cat delivery service from Shenzhen Café” and “Confirmation that Nuo’er has healing effects.”

A few months ago, Ouyang Xue was doing everything possible to boost the café’s popularity and increase traffic. Now, even without us creating topics, netizens can draw all kinds of attention to us. As the current manager, I actually wish the café’s popularity would decrease a bit.

“You can tell, there really are too many people,” Xiao Mo said, standing up by the grapevines.

“So many that Nuo’er would rather walk into the lion’s den than stay inside.”

“What lion’s den!” I snorted softly. “Do you think you can eat me up here?”

“Nuo’er, have you forgotten I have the ‘barrier’ skill?”

Xiao Mo put down the scissors, her face playful.

“I surrender!” I quickly raised my hands. “I’ve been busy all morning and I’m really tired.”

“Hmm?”

Xiao Mo casually picked a few grapes from the vine and walked over to me.

“Open your mouth.”

“Ah…” She stuffed the grapes into my mouth.

“Xiao Mo, I… mm, mm, I think this place doesn’t need any more promotion. If the popularity keeps growing like this, the café really won’t be able to accommodate everyone.”

“No worries, let it be. If it gets too popular, people will eventually get tired of it.”

Xiao Mo wiped the sweat from my forehead. “If you’re tired, Nuo’er, take a break.”

“Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing.”

Xiao Mo, feeding me grapes, said casually as if remembering something:

“Gabriel has already made a television in Diwutith and equipped it with a wireless internet receiver. We’ve also installed the corresponding base station, so it can cover the entire Diwutith Empire.”

“In a few days, Nuo’er, you might need to show your face as the queen in front of the public.”

“……”
