for sponsoring and remember anywhere you
go magic follows for now it's time for
new game so here we are in front of our
brand new supermarket in the middle of
our cute little neighborhood look at
this we have all kinds of foot traffic
people just swaggering their way to work
and we can tell as we follow this guy
that we are in the United States of
America as you can clearly tell by this
very American license plate wait maybe
that was just that one car because we
can see here that this one's from Iowa
and this one's from California what an
inclusive neighborhood you can even have
the same license plate as someone else
anyway the neighborhood is about what
you'd expect and by that I mean it has a
bunch of buildings with nothing going on
NPCs just wandering around living their
lives of doing nothing but most
importantly we're in a neighborhood that
we cannot Escape like everything might
look and feel very peaceful ow but as
you can see there's something sinister
going on underneath the whole
neighborhood is just one giant Loop the
good news about this though is it means
you're the only supermarket in town so
let's go ahead and begin our Supermarket
Empire clearly from the ground floor cuz
look at these slim pickings so it looks
like we've got two shelves as well as a
register a door that I'm not even
allowed to get into yet and a computer
awkwardly in the corner and something
tells me this is going to be the brains
of our operation on account of the
tutorial telling us to order goods using
the computer well don't mind if I do but
first let's go to the bank oh good and
we can take out a loan straight away
let's use this slide here to turn that
lone term length into 25 days because I
want to take as long as possible to pay
it back okay and now instead of $50 we
have $800 to work with it's like free
money and now let's head on over to the
market which is our One-Stop shop to
buying goods for our store look at this
we've got all the essentials carbs carbs
and more carbs and oil for your daily
hydration needs we're going to start
with flour cuz it's the cheapest to buy
and I get the feeling that it doesn't
really matter what we buy I'm pretty
sure customers are going to be
interested anyway okay all that stuff is
ordered I guess all we need to do now is
wait for it to
arrive oh wait there it is what the hell
even happened out here I mean it was
delivered really fast which is nice hang
on let's order some more of these and
I'd love to order more than 10 at a time
but it turns out 10 is the max okay
orders in quickly
outside thank God my groceries aren't
very delicate well I guess right off we
know where that loan money is going to
it's time to buy as many of these as we
can so that we can just have more boxes
all the time and we'll order another 10
looking good watch out car oh of course
they don't care and another and another
you know I thought the pile would be
bigger but whatever it's still plenty to
work with oh and also I just noticed we
also have this room right here also
known as the storage room that I let's
check yep can't get into whatever that's
a problem for later right now we need to
handle the basics like picking up some
of this flow ripping open the box
looking at this person and hurling it in
their face yeah she's impressed and then
climb over all of this crap pick up the
box and let's get to
shelving oh well that was easy and now
the game wants to demonstrate to me that
we can throw out the empty boxes and I
threw out that one because the tutorial
made me but it's going to be the only
one also we're not done filling this up
this looks very sad we're going to need
a lot more flour to fill these shelves
hang on I'll do the hard work first of
getting our crap in there so we can
stock up and we'll just hurl more of
these on the shelves and then throw this
crap in the corner and rinse and repeat
watch out everybody we're really gaming
now and there we go it's some hard work
but someone has to do it and also this
is not the price I want after all the
market price alone is 371 right now
especially when how high can this go
that's it fine that's our price now and
I don't expect anyone's going to pay
this but let's see anyway and last but
not least we're going to reposition
these shelves a little bit more to our
liking so we're going to take this one
and shove it in the corner somewhere yep
just like that and let's get some of
these boxes out of the way so that we
can fit this other shelf right next to
it there we go all of it facing away
like it's bashful okay I think we're
ready for our grand opening crap in the
street crap in our store I've never been
more ready and now let's wait for our
first
customer ma'am what do you think do you
want to come in oh boy here we go
flowers is too expensive how do you even
know you don't even look at the prices
you just made assumptions you'll be back
or I bet someone that looks just like
you okay yeah I think it's safe to say
that the flower is probably too
expensive fine let me crawl back here
and see if I can change it pardon me
boxes let's lower it to a much more
modest $5 hello sir would you like to
buy some
flour well you know I'm not really sure
what I expected except that I can see
that there's a rush on flower now ooh
going for the lower shelf between that
guy's legs I get it you're a Discerning
flower connoisseur you know where the
good stuff is and you all look like
you're late for the same wedding or
something so let's go ahead and get you
handled okay let me ring this up and
it's going to be 5 oh well that's
probably a little too much cash but okay
really you only gave me $10 it sure felt
like more anyway that means your change
is $5 hold please while I give you your
change in pennies 1 2 3 4 five boy howdy
am I pleased that you're allowed to do
this and just to help all you
non-americans out there $5 and pennies
is 500 pennies 500 glorious pennies and
not a single Cent more okay sir here's
your change don't spend it all in one
place okay and also while we were
getting this guy's change looks like we
have quite the line forming hey you get
out of here you're holding up the line
look at this we're already the hottest
destination for all your flower needs
just clip through all these people use
your telekinesis to pull it from the
other side and then wait for your turn
to even get in line until then please
help yourself to a little bit of Milling
around the back of the store for no
reason don't worry I'm sure the line
will go down eventually oh no you know
what I just realized in addition to
moving the shelves I can also move this
thing even if there's people waiting in
line and now they're all like oh no what
do we do don't worry I'm going to put it
back down I'm just going to face it in a
weird Direction like this just because I
need to see what she'll do as a result
okay everybody find your place in line
oh no were all those people leaving oh
no did we lose some customers nope no we
did not they're just waiting in line
like they're supposed to I mean I guess
it makes sense line starts right there
makes sense that it would go out here
hang on so what happens if I put it like
up against this wall where nobody can
possibly line up behind
it well that was a stupid question of
course he would just go inside the wall
I feel dumb for even asking but what I
really want is for everybody to feel
involved so I'm going to shove it all
the way back here against where all the
customers are anyway because I want
everybody to feel like they're part of
the process okay good no one's even
really trying anymore the thing I love
by the way is it doesn't look like
anyone's willing to leave like they
committed to buying this flow and so
help me they will like these people walk
up here really contemplate if they want
to do this and then they're like well I
do need flour and I'm willing to fight
the mobs to get it now Excuse me while I
use the force and grab not one but two
sacks of flour also you might notice
this text at the bottom that says to
finish out the day that's because we
reach 9:00 p.m. which I guess is closing
time except not really cuz the game lets
you just keep playing I guess it just
means if people are walking by they're
not going to choose to come into your
store anymore unlike you suckers that
are stuck here forever okay whatever
let's let you finally buy your flower oh
I see we got a credit card customer this
time and this is about as fun as you'd
expect you click on their card and it
flies right into the card reader as they
look down in shame and then you enter
the amount here you go sir thank you for
your patronage and then the next sadl
looking dork shows up and you do it all
again that's right sir don't make eye
contact just put the credit card on the
dresser and that's pretty much what you
do you ring up groc groceries and you
take their awkward amount of drug money
they try to hand you you give them their
change in only pennies and then you send
them on their way I like to do something
a little bit special every time I see
this guy in his little bow tie I move
the register so that the next person in
line is no longer him so that he loses
his place in line with my goal being to
never ring him up and anytime he gets to
the front of the line time to move the
register once more uh-oh what are we
supposed to do there's two of them okay
nice try but I can see right through
that disguise okay fine we'll finally
ring up your groceries one and two and
credit card and then we'll walk away
from the machine take this entire thing
fold it back in the Box throw it at that
guy turn and look at our very American
light switch in electrical socket shut
off the lights with everybody still
inside and finish the day ah good the
Riff raft cleared out finally we can
have a nice place again but of course
let's move around our setup a little bit
this time we're going to take this and
we're going to put it all the way over
here right in front of the door and it
should be fine because you can actually
sneak your way in the same and we'll
leave the other one there just so people
have a reason to come in and no I'm not
going to buy other stuff also let's
lower the price on this and see if we
can get more people to come in there $
four whole dollars for all this crap
can't wait okay ma'am come on in we're
open for business you know you need to
ma'am ma'am excuse me uh what are you
doing there how did
you what if we take a look at this other
person they just clip right through and
they acquire flow through the wall
That's not the only way they can do it
though they can walk right up to the
shelf and do the all through the Shelf
special and then wait in line but not a
single one of them can seem to find
their way in I mean really though you
can just walk in just like this I don't
see why you're all having such a problem
something else that's kind of curious is
there's flower right here and if this is
here usually it means there's a customer
waiting in line which obviously we don't
see so let's ring it up and see what
happens hello somebody owes me $8 oh I
see it must be whoever's arm this
belongs to I got it hold still I'm
trying to take your cash although kind
of a problem I can't take that cash
because I need to be standing at the
register for it and I can't reach it
from here oh wait I know what to do easy
solution just move this closer okay
let's see maybe if I move it on the
other side like this okay let's give it
a shot hello well I'm not seeing anyone
wait a minute I think this guy's trying
to tell me something okay yeah I
understand now he's standing over there
and he's trying to hand me his credit
card through the wall as you do wow it's
like an accidental drive-thru and after
ringing them up I just kind of stare at
the wall and hope I can figure out if
they're paying cash or credit what a
weird way to do business ah another
successful day of not letting anybody
actually into my store I did also try to
set up the register outside but
unfortunately the game doesn't let you
place it so the best I could do is box
it up and throw it at people anyway
whatever time for the next day and then
the game shows me that market prices
have changed for stuff like I care the
only thing I care about is if we can
find weirder ways to set up our shop and
thank God we have so much more wait a
minute what are you doing out here
you're already in there this shouldn't
even be possible well now we got to to
try something are you telling me that if
I pick this thing up and then box it up
and then let's say just throw it over in
the corner like that if I then back out
and then reload my
game oh well that's good well now I have
a question what can we do with extra
registers oh my God how much do they
sell for
$250 well I think we can see where this
is going you back in the Box get in the
corner and then after a quick reload
look who's back again oh and good news
it works on shelves too pick up box up
throw outside and then after a quick
reload oh boy do we have some fun work
ahead of us and we could sell all of
them but what if we need them so let's
go ahead and Stow them outside for now
so hold
[Music]
please okay so I've been doing this for
quite a while now just boxing up some
Goods turning around and throwing them
outside and I feel like we're making
good progress like I feel like we might
have enough shelves and also probably
enough registers it's enough that when
we're inside the store you can barely
see the outside oops all boxes and it
looks pretty impressive from the outside
too you can't even see the storefront
and as expected no one is remotely
concerned about this who cares if it's
in the street and I'm pretty sure our
money problems are solved every time we
need more money we can just sell some of
