Instantly, a pungent, musty smell assaulted them, making Lin Shen frown.
Seeing this, Lin Ping quickly found a mask for Lin Shen. Only after they put them on did they enter the shop to inspect it.
The place was filthy, and the tables and chairs were old and broken.
The peeling walls still had the old menu posted on them, and the back kitchen was so disgusting they couldn’t even bring themselves to enter.
’This is disgusting!’
Lin Shen had no trouble suspecting that the place had already become a nest for cockroaches and rats.
Having this kind of time bomb right next to his Cat Cafe, an infestation could break out any day!
So, without hesitation, Lin Shen immediately contacted professional cleaning crews through various social media platforms.
He even offered to pay extra to have them clean the shop with the utmost urgency.
He finally scheduled an appointment for the next day, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Someone is coming to clean tomorrow. You watch over it for me."
Lin Shen handed the key to Lin Ping.
"Contact me when they’re done."
"Okay."
Lin Ping carefully put the key away, then followed Lin Shen into the Warm Paws Cat Cafe to inspect the renovation progress.
Overall, he was very satisfied.
The ambiance, the layout, and even the small decorative touches that highlighted the cat cafe theme all met Lin Shen’s expectations.
This further solidified his resolve to start this business.
"Go make me a cup of coffee."
After inspecting the superficial aspects, Lin Shen decided to examine the cafe’s core—the quality of its drinks.
This was, after all, the most critical part of the service industry.
So, Lin Shen had Lin Ping prepare one of the shop’s most popular coffee drinks for him—kopi luwak.
During this time, he finally had a moment to check his phone.
Lin Shen first opened the Goddess Manual in Shuaiyang. Just as he expected, Lin Ping’s information had been entered.
[Name: Lin Ping]
[Looks: 5 Points (The pinnacle for a woman in her thirties. Mature and glamorous face, excellently maintained skin. The absolute template of a beautiful young wife. Superb.)]
[Figure: 6 Points (Slender waist and full hips. A classic young wife’s figure. Soft and easy to push over.)]
[Personality: 5 Points (Gentle and virtuous, knows how to care for others. Understanding, but also timid, weak-willed, and averse to conflict.)]
[Abilities: 3 Points (An ordinary person with no special skills. An expert at home-style cooking. Hardworking and resilient. Ordinary.)]
[Conquest Progress: 70%]
[Currently Releasable Intel: ...]
"This is about what I expected..."
Lin Shen murmured as he looked at Lin Ping’s information, but the details in the "Currently Releasable Intel" section were a bit unexpected.
’Huh?’
’It can’t be what I’m thinking, can it?’
Lin Shen’s expression suddenly turned strange.
He had come across information about it before, but he always felt it wasn’t something that would be so easily accepted.
In any case, Lin Shen had absolutely no interest in that sort of thing.
’But...’
’Lin Ping has been married, but she probably hasn’t... right?’
A bold idea suddenly occurred to Lin Shen, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve up slightly.
[Congratulations, Host, on acquiring your first "friend"! The system will provide random supplements for the "friend" to help the Host solidify your relationship and forge a stronger gilded cage.]
[...50%...99%...100%!]
[The system will provide a 50% rebate on the consumption amount for this friend’s daughter, "Anan," but only on the condition that it is in accordance with her wishes.]
[It is worth noting that although this is a "friendship," please do not be too presumptuous, Host. It is acceptable to be a scumbag, but please do not be human trash. A mother’s love for her child is selfless and deserves the highest respect from all of us.]
