Cheng Shuili nodded, glanced at the toast, and asked again, "Can we cooperate in business?"
Before Bao Chi could speak, a pop-up window suddenly appeared from the system.
【Initiating a business cooperation invitation to the beastman NPC. Note: Failure is highly likely due to insufficient favorability.】
After reading this, Cheng Shuili knew things were going south. After all, she had just frightened this little stutterer with 【Majesty】, even if she hadn't intended to...
Sure enough, the little stutterer in front of her shook his head very firmly.
Cheng Shuili: "..."
She smiled awkwardly and asked again, "Buying toast is fine, right?"
Bao Chi nodded gently.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuili didn't hesitate. She decided to keep 20 game coins to buy a ceramic bowl at the mall and use the rest to stock up on toast.
She could buy a total of 55 bags.
Cheng Shuili looked around and saw there were only about twenty bags on the counter. She pointed at the toast and asked, "Is there any more freshly made toast?"
Bao Chi nodded again, and after a moment, asked, "How many do you want?"
Cheng Shuili smiled slightly: "I want 55 bags."
Bao Chi was startled by the number. He carefully poked his eyes out and looked at Cheng Shuili, asking, "Do you really want to buy so many?"
Cheng Shuili nodded; listening to him speak was honestly quite exhausting.
Fortunately, Bao Chi was quick. He nimbly brought out the packaged toast from the kitchen and piled it all at Cheng Shuili's feet. Once the quantity was sufficient, he ran back behind the counter and crouched down.
"That's all there is."
Cheng Shuili nodded and promptly paid 385 game coins.
Bao Chi's eyes clearly lit up, and his gaze toward Cheng Shuili grew a bit more affectionate.
Cheng Shuili realized something and asked again, "Can we cooperate in business?"
Bao Chi still shook his head, but he provided a reason: "Need to meet a second time."
Cheng Shuili understood; it was probably some rule of the beastman town.
She nodded and stored the toast into the Abyss Ring. Only now did she realize how convenient this ring was for carrying items.
"Two hours."
The little stutterer stammered another sentence.
Cheng Shuili stopped her steps to leave and turned back to ask, "What's this about two hours?"
"You can stay in the beastman town for two hours each time."
Cheng Shuili nodded, pushed the door open, and walked out.
Bao Chi watched Cheng Shuili leave and finally sighed in relief, slumping to the floor. Thinking about how much toast this human had bought, he couldn't help but feel happy. Selling so much at once—today was truly a day worth remembering!
Even though he had just sent this human away, he already found himself looking forward to her next visit.
Two hours...?
Cheng Shuili pondered. She had spent half an hour at the police station earlier, and buying the toast hadn't taken much time. The remaining time was more than enough to go buy a ceramic bowl.
With that thought, she headed toward the largest mall in the beastman town.
She still had 22 game coins; buying a ceramic bowl shouldn't be a problem.
Cheng Shuili stood in front of the shelf and widened her eyes as she looked at the number on the tag.
You're charging me 9999 game coins for a ceramic bowl???
Cheng Shuili: "..."
Now this is a profiteer.
Cheng Shuili paused and casually scanned the golden rice bowl displayed to the side. If a ceramic bowl cost 9999 game coins, this gold one must be even more expensive, right?
Cheng Shuili's gaze fixed on the price tag.
She reached out to touch the golden rice bowl.
【The Wealthiest Person's Daily Necessities】
【Description: As you can see, this is just an ordinary bowl. The gold on the surface might be a layer of gold paint, or perhaps the bowl itself is made of solid gold. However... when eating with this thing, you might receive an unexpected surprise! Of course, its price is absolutely worthy of this name!】
【Current Selling Price: 10 game coins】
Cheng Shuili's hand didn't let go of the golden rice bowl. Although she was already used to the appearance of bugs, this kind of surprise that popped up from time to time still made the corners of Cheng Shuili's mouth curl up.
Cheng Shuili felt she could post a request for help on the regional channel.
What should I do if I want to buy a ceramic bowl but get entangled by a 9999-game-coin golden rice bowl?
She didn't actually post it; after all, other survivors would truly curse her.
Cheng Shuili clutched the golden rice bowl and placed it on the checkout counter. The cashier was a little rabbit with long ears.
Tu Yuan was clearly startled when he saw what the human in front of him had brought out. It was important to know that although this golden rice bowl was placed alongside the other ceramic bowls, judging by the price alone, it was the most expensive item in the entire mall!
Without exception!
Tu Yuan widened his eyes and swallowed his saliva before he could speak.
"H-human, do you really want to buy this? You should have looked at the price carefully, right?"
Tu Yuan's tone was very surprised. He didn't mean to look down on the human in front of him at all; he was just kindly reminding the human that this item was very expensive, nothing more.
Cheng Shuili nodded under his expectant gaze. She could naturally understand the rabbit beastman's meaning.
Cheng Shuili gave him a mental thumbs-up. This was a good beastman!
"Then I'll check you out first. One 【The Wealthiest Person's Daily Necessities】, that's a total of 9999 game coins. Please pay."
As Tu Yuan's words fell, a payment panel appeared right in front of Cheng Shuili.
【About to purchase The Wealthiest Person's Daily Necessities. You need to pay 10 game coins. Confirm payment?】
She was already familiar with the drill.
Cheng Shuili clicked "Yes" and tapped the table, waiting for Tu Yuan to pack the item for her. The moment she received it, she tucked it into the Abyss Ring.
She smiled at Tu Yuan, making his heart flutter. This human was actually damnably rich, and yet so easygoing despite being so wealthy. What a good person.
Cheng Shuili, however, didn't look back as she exited the store. She swapped her title back to 【Supreme Monarch】 and left the beastman town without stopping.
Nonsense, why stay and wait for these beastmen to realize something was wrong and chase after her?
Cheng Shuili wasn't sure if they could actually figure out the mistake, but she knew she had to leave as early as possible.
Sitting back on the electric shopping cart, Cheng Shuili stepped on the gas and drove a good distance away. Only when she was sure the silhouette of the beastman town was no longer visible did she open the Abyss Ring and look at the golden rice bowl carefully.
This thing didn't seem to have anything unique about it?
What was the surprise mentioned in the system description?
Cheng Shuili opened the description again. It was no different from before, except for a line of small text added at the end.
【Sole Holder: Angry Crow Takes Flight. This item cannot be traded or transferred to another holder; it will automatically return after a certain amount of time if gifted.】
Oh?
Does this mean it's locked to her?
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow. She had originally been worried that Wan Yi would get greedy upon seeing the bowl.
She was planning to send the bowl over for serving food, and it would be a disaster if Wan Yi didn't return it.
Now that concern was completely gone.
Caught up in a wave of excitement, Cheng Shuili ran to the bathroom to wash the rice bowl thoroughly. She then knocked on Wan Yi's little private window and sent the bowl directly over.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: My bowl. I'll be using this to eat from now on.
