Chapter 96 The Wooden Shopkeeper
Without further ado, Yu Qi quickly found several empty large mineral water bottles and filled them with the spring water from the space.
She quickly got off the armored vehicle, stuffed the spring water into her storage bag, and went inside.
Before I could even get in, a wooden figure blocked the entrance, its withered yellow eyes glancing at me sideways.
"This is the Treasure Pavilion. You need to hand over your most important possession before you can enter."
If it weren't for the assistant's reminder, Yu Qi would definitely have been intimidated and would have chosen what she considered most important, wondering whether or not to hand it over.
Seeing the wooden figure's disdainful look, she smiled and took out a bottle of spring water.
"Manager, I have some spring water here that I brought from my hometown. It's been kept in a sealed container the whole way, so it's very fresh."
As she spoke, she quickly twisted open the cap of the bottled mineral water.
"Would you like to come and take a look? Does the water quality of this spring meet your expectations?"
"What good is this little bit of water?" The wooden man was a little disgusted, but he still walked over.
They were instantly shocked when they smelled the spring water.
"Where did you get this quality spring water?" the wooden man shop owner exclaimed excitedly.
"Do you have any more? If you're willing to provide enough spring water, I can give you a gift from the Treasure Pavilion for free!"
Seeing the shop owner's expression, Yu Qi looked somewhat embarrassed: "This is spring water from my hometown. There isn't much of it, and I didn't bring more than a few buckets with me."
"It's alright, it's alright. Just sell me as many buckets as you bring, I'll buy them all!" The wooden shopkeeper smiled like an old chrysanthemum.
"There's only one bucket left at most," Yu Qi said sadly, her voice filled with reluctance.
The wooden man shop owner was in a panic; there were only two tubs, not enough for it to take a bath!
The weather has been ridiculously hot lately, and my skin is so dry!
If he takes a bath in such high-quality spring water, his skin will definitely recover!
"Let's not beat around the bush. What do you want in exchange for another bucket of spring water?" the wooden shopkeeper whispered.
Yu Qi was still in a dilemma. She finally sighed and said, "Never mind, I was originally saving the last bucket of spring water for drinking."
"But seeing how much you need it, I'll keep it for you. However, I need to buy something inside the Treasure Pavilion. Do you have any discounts available?"
The wooden man nodded repeatedly: "It's just a discount, right? I'm the shop owner, I'll give you a 9.9% discount card right away!"
9.9% off?
Upon hearing about the discount, Yu Qi almost questioned her existence.
It's been so long since I've seen such a stingy discount; the shop owner is really daring!
"Manager, let's just forget about it then. I don't think you're very sincere. It's better not to go into the Treasure Pavilion."
"Anyway, it's all the same whether you buy it in shopping paradise or not."
Yu Qi inadvertently revealed the gold of the shopping paradise.
The wooden shopkeeper's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He knew perfectly well that the shopping paradise had a wide variety of goods and that many monster merchants and customers liked to go there.
The woman in front of me is a gold card customer of the shopping paradise, so she must be able to get the best discounts!
If the other party really wants to give up, then the high quality he's been longing for will disappear, won't it?
The wooden man had an exceptionally keen eye and immediately recognized that if this spring water were used to irrigate crops, it would definitely produce high-quality crops.
If those monster ranchers saw this, they would be overjoyed!
No, I absolutely cannot let this woman leave!
"I'm sorry, esteemed guest. My attitude was poor just now, and my words were a bit harsh. I apologize to you right now." For the sake of his skin, the wooden man could bend and stretch.
"It's just a discount card, right? I have a 10% off discount card here!"
After hearing this, Yu Qi picked up her several buckets of mineral water and turned to leave.
"I was thinking of packing a few bottles of mineral water and bringing them to you, store manager, after I got back to my hometown, but it seems there's no need for that now..."
"Hey, wait, wait..." The wooden man shop owner was bewildered and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Honorable guest, I was just joking. Is a mere 10% discount card even presentable? If we're going to make a purchase, it'll definitely be 21% off!"
The wooden shop owner's heart was practically bleeding.
The treasures in these Treasure Pavilions were all painstakingly collected by him. Even if they were sold at the original price, he would be incredibly arrogant, let alone offering such a high discount!
However, the woman in front of him has many such springs at home. If he can make a deal with her, he will have a continuous supply of high-quality spring water in the future!
The wooden shopkeeper knew perfectly well which was more important, his skin or the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Manager, why didn't you say so earlier? To be honest, I'm a gold card customer at the shopping paradise, what can't I buy?" Yu Qi stopped, sighed and shook her head.
"I heard from the manager over there that your Treasure Pavilion has some strange and unusual things, and I like opening blind boxes, so I came here to take a look."
"Otherwise, why would anyone come to suffer in such an arid region?"
Yu Qi raised her head slightly, looking proud.
The wooden shop owner was also convinced, and upon further reflection, it seemed to make sense.
Shopping paradise treats its gold card customers like royalty; they'd give them anything they wanted, even the moon.
Why would I care about what he has?
It's likely that this gold card customer was curious about the legend of the Treasure Pavilion here, which is why he came to take a look in person.
With this in mind, the wooden shopkeeper could understand. How could ordinary players possibly have such high-quality spring water? Only monster families with long-standing traditions could possess such a treasure!
Therefore, the woman in front of you must be an important member of that monster family!
At the start of each game, many monster clans will send some of their members to the players to experience the game.
That's quite normal.
After thinking it through, he smiled even more broadly: "Distinguished guest, it's just a gold card, right? Our Treasure Pavilion also has a gold card, I'll process it for you right now!"
"With this gold card, you can come to our Treasure Pavilion anytime, anywhere! We hope our esteemed guest will bring more spring water for trading; the price is negotiable!"
"Honored guest, this way please..."
Outside the door, the little wooden figure that had been thrown out stared in disbelief. Did the shop manager ever have such a kind and sunny side?
In this godforsaken place, where we hardly ever see any customers all day long, how could they possibly have a gold card?
"Go away, what are you looking at? Don't disturb our VIP customers who are shopping here!" The wooden shopkeeper chased him away.
The little wooden figure sat outside the shop, looking somewhat dazed. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to be a player who had come to participate in a survival game.
But he made a mistake, so he was forced to work here.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Will other players come over from outside?
He glanced at the woman inside the Treasure Pavilion, her withered yellow eyes gazing aimlessly into the distance, when suddenly he spotted an armored vehicle outside.
Little Wooden Man: "!!!!!!!"
Isn't this a vehicle?
What is that strange vehicle? His brain seems to have turned to wood!
Anyway, the woman inside seemed to be from the same place as him!
However, the little man was very puzzled as to why the shopkeeper was so attentive to the players inside.
Could it be that his memories are all wrong, and there are no players, no vehicles, and no survival game at all?
"Hey you, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and find something for our esteemed guest!" The wooden shopkeeper inside started to get irritable again.
"Coming, coming!" The little wooden man hurriedly ran inside.
"Distinguished guest, what would you like? Our Treasure Pavilion has collected rare treasures from all over the world. If you can imagine it, we can find it!"
The little wooden figure bowed respectfully.
Yu Qi looked at the wooden figure and felt that something was very off about it.
This wooden figure has a different temperament from those monsters.
Remembering her assistant's reminder, her heart skipped a beat.
As expected, this world is not as safe as she imagined. If she hadn't obtained various items by chance, things probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
"Hello, where are your other employees? Why are you the only one here?" she asked casually.
"Some of the other employees just fell asleep and never woke up again, probably because they were too tired…" The little wooden man scratched his head.
"Distinguished guest, what are you looking for?"
Yu Qi glanced at him and found that the little wooden figure looked exactly like the larger wooden figure of the shop manager, as if they were copied.
She seemed to be deep in thought.
"Do you have skill copying cards, or any special cards?"
"Just bring me those strange and unusual things as soon as possible."
