Chapter 124 Different Attitudes
"Yes, yes, yes! This is our pharmacy's signature product. Our pharmacy specializes in making deep-sea healing potions, guaranteed to cure any ailment!"
"Customer, if you don't believe me, I'll cut off a piece of meat right here and show you!" The Skull Fish shop manager was so excited that he turned around and sliced off a piece of meat from the employee next to him, so fast that no one could react.
In the blink of an eye, the shopkeeper had already poured a small drop of medicine onto the fish's wound, and in less than a second, the gouged-out wound healed rapidly.
The black fish even patted its own scales, looking quite proud: "Guest, look, this healing potion leaves no trace at all, it's definitely suitable for your pet!"
Yu Qi was completely dumbfounded and almost doubted her eyes. Were all the managers and employees in these pharmacies so powerful?
Without saying a word, he started cutting out the flesh.
She glanced at the fishbone shop owner next to her and strongly suspected that the owner had cut off all his own flesh!
However, it must be said that this medicine is indeed very powerful; just a drop can make a wound heal quickly.
This one bottle should work, right?
Seeing that she was still hesitating, the store manager immediately patted his fishbone and said, "Honorable guest, you've come at the perfect time! We're having a promotion right now: buy two get one free, plus a 20% discount!"
"Two bottles of potions for 10,000 crystal coins, 20% off, that's 8,000 crystal coins, plus a bunch of little gifts, how about it?"
The shop owner then eagerly brought over the pile of medicine gift boxes.
Yu Qi gradually discovered that these potions were somewhat similar to the high-level potions she had drawn before.
"Distinguished guest, I know you're experiencing the game. The game's system is very strict, and you're bound to get injured there. Perhaps we should prepare some more potions..."
"These bottles of medicine that our store is giving away are perfect for healing ordinary wounds!"
Seeing the shopkeeper casually holding those medicines, Yu Qi had some guesses in her mind.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." She opened one of the potions that had been given to her, examined it carefully, and found that it was indeed very similar to the high-level potion she had drawn.
Do pharmacies usually give away this kind of medicine as a free gift with orders?
There must be things she doesn't know!
Yu Qi then pointed to the blue potion that could heal the strange fish's injuries: "I need to know what materials you made these from. My pet can't just use any potion."
The shop manager immediately came over to explain: "Honorable guest, these special potions use a lot of deep-sea fish crystals. We grind the crystals of those healing deep-sea fish into powder, and then invited several healing masters to work together to make them."
"We guarantee it will restore your pet to normal. If the medicine you take back doesn't work, we'll refund your crystals exactly as they were!"
The store manager patted his own fish bones as a guarantee.
Yu Qi nodded, then turned to the medicines that had been given as gifts: "Let me introduce these as well."
"Alright, esteemed guest! Although these don't use precious crystal marrow, they were all handmade by a master healer. Even fatal injuries can be quickly healed. In our pharmacy, they usually sell for 1000 crystal coins!"
"You are receiving so many gifts because you are a valued Gold Card customer of Shopping Paradise. We don't give gifts to other ordinary customers!"
The store manager spoke very quickly, as if afraid the customer would run away.
Eight thousand crystal coins, plus a bunch of potions worth one thousand crystal coins each...
Simply because they are gold card customers.
Wait, Yu Qi suddenly remembered that when she left the masquerade ball, the Aries manager also gave her a lot of gifts from the shops.
Rather than saying these people gave a lot of gifts, it's more accurate to say these shops were promoting their products.
Just like in the real world, when you shop online, some merchants will send samples of new products to their premium members.
However, eight thousand crystal coins is still a bit too high.
Yu Qi frowned slightly.
Seeing this expression, the red fox who had brought her there also felt a chill run down her spine.
"Distinguished guest, shall we go to the next restaurant?"
He said nervously from the side.
Yu Qi pinched the bridge of her nose, thinking that the next store would likely have the same price; none of these potions were cheap.
She subconsciously took a few steps and inadvertently discovered the pharmacy, with a pile of garbage in the corner.
All the trash was packaged in porcelain bottles, some of which were broken, releasing wisps of medicinal fragrance.
Yu Qi paused for a moment. Wasn't this the smell of an intermediate-level potion?
Intermediate and advanced potions will likely be available again soon, but the recovery process will be somewhat slow.
Advanced potions can instantly restore injuries, making them exceptionally efficient during combat.
However, intermediate-level potions are not suitable for use during combat because they require several minutes to heal slowly.
However, in Yu Qi's view, the recovery effects of these medicines were all similar, only differing in the time it took.
But why were all these intermediate-level potions thrown away?
As if sensing her confusion, the blackfish shop assistant next to her came over and explained softly, "Dear customer, these are our discarded potions. They were all made by our newly recruited potion apprentices, and they didn't meet the shop's standards, so we threw them all away."
"Please rest assured, all the potions sold in our store meet the standards of Shopping Paradise. Any substandard potions will go straight into our trash can and will never be sold to customers!"
The blackfish slapped its scales together, making a loud cracking sound, and its barbels twitched.
Yu Qi nodded, then subtly withdrew her gaze: "I'll go check out the other shops, and come back to take a look later."
Upon hearing this, the fishbone shop manager and staff behind him became anxious, but could only watch helplessly.
Yu Qi went to look around at the other potions and found that Deep Sea was for sale.
As for medicines, there are only a few companies that offer them, and the prices quoted by the others are not cheap.
Moreover, none of those apothecary shops had discarded ultimate potions.
She turned back again.
The fishbone shop manager glanced at her and was immediately overjoyed.
"Distinguished guest, we have just discussed with the head office and decided to offer our valued gold card customers a 30% discount!"
"This discount will apply to all your future purchases!"
The fishbone shop owner really went all out to sell a single item to a gold card customer.
Hearing this, Yu Qi was deeply moved, because when she went to several other pharmacies earlier, she saw several ordinary customers buying things and asking if there were any discounts.
As a result, they were all met with disdain from the shop assistants, who all impatiently grumbled and complained.
Buy it or don't, if you don't want to buy it, then get lost!
We've come to a shopping paradise, what more discounts do we want?
However, after Red Fox led her over, the shop assistants' expressions immediately changed.
He even offered her a 20% discount and promised to give her a bunch of small gifts, showing a completely opposite attitude.
In fact, some ordinary customers bought items that were more expensive than what she bought!
Yu Qi felt that the definition of a gold card customer should be redefined.
Are the gold card customers of shopping paradise all from powerful families?
That's why these shops are so eager to make deals with gold card customers.
But why did she win such an important gold card?
To be precise, why would such an important gold card be placed in a blind box? Just for customers to draw lots for?
Yu Qi felt that this matter was not simple, but at present she could not find any more information, so she could only proceed cautiously, taking it one step at a time.
"Then let's buy it, but could you give me these things as a gift?"
"To be honest, I spoiled that little pet too much. It loves pretty porcelain vases and often plays with one only to drop it."
"I don't have time to find so many pretty porcelain vases for it. You're all going to throw them away. Why don't you pack this one up for me and I'll take it to my pet to play with."
Yu Qi nodded slightly.
Without saying a word, the fishbone shopkeeper packed up all the plain white porcelain bottles and had the black fish power supply next to him put them in a spatial box.
He carefully arranged the deep-sea potions (buy 2 get 1 free) and the high-grade potions that were given away in another exquisite box.
"Honorable guest, your food is packed up." The fishbone shop manager smiled broadly.
Yu Qi didn't even need to lift a finger; the red fox beside her had already picked up the box and the box.
"Honorable customer, do you need to buy anything else? If so, let's go browse around now and then go to the cashier to pay together," Red Fox asked in a low voice.
Yu Qi naturally wanted to explore other places, so she stepped outside.
This time, she went to a card shop downstairs.
