Chapter 58 Delivering Goods
The armored vehicle continued forward and soon came into view of the familiar two-story building.
Customers continued to come and go, and all sorts of monsters kept coming over, holding money bags and ordering various dishes at the counter in front.
The familiar black-cat uniformed shop assistants were still guarding outside the restaurant, and they even showed a surprised expression when they saw the armored vehicle.
This armored vehicle is so cool that it's not commonly seen even among players.
When the people inside came out, the Black Cat Uniform Shop assistant had already changed to a warm and welcoming expression.
"So it's a distinguished guest! The weather outside is too hot, please come in."
Yu Qi nodded to the black cat uniform, then pushed open the door and stepped inside.
"Oh dear, no wonder we had a magpie customer this morning!" The black cat shopkeeper looked up from the ledger, his gold-rimmed glasses chain gleaming.
He slapped the counter with his paw-like paw, and his three wisps of mustache stood up excitedly: "What good things has our distinguished guest brought this time?"
Yu Qi unloaded the bulging yellow space backpack. The moment the metal zipper was slid open, a rich aroma of soy sauce mixed with the sweetness of corn wafted out.
The black cat shopkeeper's pupils instantly shrank to vertical slits, and even the tip of his tail straightened.
"Twenty bottles of tomato juice, fifteen jars of spicy peanut sauce..."
Spicy meat sauce, mutated steamed buns, pumpkin porridge, cornstarch, boiled corn, and canned potatoes... and of course, all sorts of fresh, unprocessed crops.
As Yu Qi lined up the goods and finally presented the crystal-clear pumpkin porridge, fine water droplets formed on the glass counter.
She added, "Many of them are processed using mutant crops."
The black cat shopkeeper's paws left afterimages on the calculator: "Sauces and canned goods: 200 crystal coins per box; mutated steamed buns: 10 crystal coins each..."
The clinking of the abacus beads stopped abruptly. He suddenly sniffed and lunged at the bag of pearl corn: "Wait! Why does this starch smell so good? Did you grow it in high-grade nutrient soil??"
Yu Qi nodded, because her homeland was like nutrient soil.
The morning light shone through the shop window and fell on her hair, making the tortoise hair clip gleam with a bluish glow under the corn pearl light.
"Eight thousand eight hundred crystal coins!" Black Cat, the shopkeeper, suddenly spread his arms wide, two buttons popping off his satin vest. "I'll take them all!" He turned and shouted to the kitchen, "Bring two servings of the new Longjing shrimp, Black Cat mint coffee, and everything else in our restaurant, and present them to this distinguished guest!"
Just as Yu Qi was about to refuse, the other party had already stuffed the gilded food box into her arms.
The black cat totem floating on the surface of the food container is completely different from the one she took before, and the sapphire inlaid in the lid changes its shade with the temperature.
"I know you like our food." The black cat manager winked and patted the back of her hand with his paw. "You have a card and can enjoy our restaurant's employee discounts. You bought a lot of food last time."
"You don't need to worry about it this time, I'll have them pack it all for you!"
It wasn't that the black cat was being too attentive; rather, all the food that this human brought was far too rare!
Each and every one of them can improve the three-dimensional attributes. This is exactly the kind of food that the black cat has been dreaming of!
It's no big deal to send out more dishes, since Black Cat Restaurant makes all sorts of delicious food every day!
The most important thing now is to win over this supplier so that he will send more ingredients in the future!
The black cat shopkeeper was calculating in his mind, and his smile deepened.
"Would you like to deposit the crystal coins into a shopping card? We've partnered with Shopping Paradise..."
Yu Qi was both amused and exasperated, thinking to herself that the Black Cat Store Manager's business scope was really wide, even having a collaboration with Shopping Paradise!
"I have this." Yu Qi took out a gold card.
She got this gold card from opening cans of food at the Turtle Merchant and hadn't used it before. Since Black Cat Restaurant has a collaboration with Shopping Paradise, she should be able to add gold coins to her gold card, right?
The entire restaurant suddenly fell silent. The orange cat chef, who was grooming himself, froze in place, fish balls rolling from his paws; the white cat waiter, who was dozing in the corner, fell "thump" off the hanging basket.
The black cat shopkeeper's beard trembled violently: "This...this is..."
He suddenly covered his mouth with his front paws, looked around, and then lowered his voice: "What exactly is your relationship with Shopping Paradise? This gold card is a supreme VIP card. Just by having this card, you can get the protection of Shopping Paradise, not to mention discounts on all kinds of precious items!"
The black cat shopkeeper looked on with great envy. Even though he had been running the restaurant for so long, he had never seen such a card before!
Yu Qi subconsciously touched the turtle hair clip in her hair. She knew a little about the gold card, but she underestimated the cats' reaction.
"Actually, this is a long story. Since it's convenient for you, just transfer all the crystal coins into my card."
The black cat shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, then leaped onto the counter and personally transferred the crystal coins into the gold card. His paws trembled as he made the transfer, nearly accidentally pressing two extra zeros.
Fortunately, he treated this human guest with great enthusiasm from the very beginning; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Can someone who owns a shopping paradise gold card be an ordinary person? They must be a big shot!
"Honorable guest, all the ingredients in the store have been packaged." A black-cat-uniformed shop assistant brought over another storage container from nearby.
He originally intended to hand it to Yu Qi, but the Black Cat shopkeeper intercepted him halfway and personally delivered it to him.
"Honored guest, these are the other dishes from our restaurant. Please keep them."
Yu Qi took it and placed it together with the food container from before, extremely satisfied with the service at Black Cat Restaurant.
Of course, she still remembered the nice gift she had promised to give the black cat a uniform.
Yu Qi smiled and handed over two sets of Flame Scorpion Tail Needles and three sets of Lava Carapace: "These are the good things I promised you."
Of course, besides these, she also sent some tomatoes and corn that she had grown herself to the black cat uniform.
The dark red needle shimmered with lava-like patterns under the light, and the black-cat-uniformed shop assistant accepted it with a sense of flattery.
It stared wide-eyed at the orange-red glow emanating from its paw pads.
The black cat shopkeeper beside him, his tail bristling with envy, quickly said, "Honorable guest, this is high-grade weapon-making material. Giving it away like this... is that really appropriate?"
"It's nothing. This cat guy helped me a lot. This is nothing." Yu Qi naturally knew that these were materials for making high-level weapons.
The cat shopkeeper gasped, then continued, "Honored guest, you have a shopping paradise gold card. If you have any remaining fire-attribute materials, you can sell them there. They will definitely give you the best price!"
