Chapter 16 Chapter 16 (Revised) The Way of Balance, Simple and Rough...

Chang Ruijia closed the system mall page with a snap. She felt that she might need to calm down first.

She originally thought that the system had heard her expectations and put the kitchen knife back on the shelf.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a carrot dangling in front of me by the system, which I could see but couldn't eat, and I was just coveting it.

Her eyes wandered blankly in the dark night sky in front of her, and Chang Ruijia tried to give herself or someone who might be watching her a psychological hint.

No...

As the most kind-hearted and customer-centric shopping mall that never takes advantage of its customers and offers high-quality products at low prices, how could they treat a poor girl like her who has nothing?

The price must be wrong in the mall, that's for sure.

Mercifully giving the system time to correct the error, Chang Ruijia turned around and carefully opened the kitchen knife exchange page again.

…

OK, confirmed! The system is such a shitty system.

Looking at Ye Ge on the product page, Chang Ruijia gritted her teeth and thought that her lower limit for the Kan Yidao system was constantly being refreshed.

However, the third-level authority only allows her to PK with those unknown creatures in the seabed. Even a kitchen knife that appears in a mall can have two different prices.

It really takes advantage of the fact that there is no Price Bureau in this world and there is no place to report it directly, right?

Chang Ruijia clicked on the details interface of the kitchen knife with resentment, and she was really not convinced.

She insisted on looking carefully on the page of this kitchen knife to see what kind of amazing and miraculous function it had that required 3 points of level 3 redemption authority to exchange for a kitchen knife.

But even though she read the introduction carefully, she couldn't see any difference. Even the kitchen knife in her hand looked better than the one in the mall under the comparison of the system.

This is the place that Chang Ruijia always talks about: there is no worst place, only worse places.

If Chang Ruijia hadn't been dissatisfied, she would have looked more carefully and might have missed the last line of words on the kitchen knife details page, which had been shrunk several times.

[Warm Tips: This kitchen knife has a 10/10 usage rate. Please replace it in time. If there are any subsequent problems caused by wear and tear, this mall has nothing to do with you.]

It's actually "Yo"!

Chang Ruijia's breath was stuck in her chest and she almost couldn't breathe.

She had only heard that cheap things are not good, but she had never heard that expensive things are actually worse than cheap ones!

Looking at the shameless introduction of the system on the product interface, Chang Ruijia really wanted to wave her hand with backbone and never buy anything from this unscrupulous merchant again!

But, can she still go against life?

After cursing in her heart for a long time in indignation, Chang Ruijia finally knew the situation and secretly noted down the position of the kitchen knife in the [Food] column.

Although she doesn't intend to be cheated by this unscrupulous businessman now, who knows what will happen in the future.

For the sake of her life, Chang Ruijia didn't feel at all that she was bowing to the system's profiteers.

This is just finding a plan B.

No matter how much she made excuses, Chang Ruijia really couldn't completely put aside the system's sudden and strange pricing.

This is only the third day since she got the system. There will be many more days of dealing with it in the future. The sooner she understands the rules of the system, the sooner she can be mentally prepared.

Taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, Chang Ruijia looked at the product page of the [Regular Price] kitchen knife in front of her, and tried hard to recall the memory of exchanging the kitchen knife before.

However, at that time, I was just happy to have a handy weapon, and there were very few things I could remember. Most of the memories were evoked by the special price skylight.

Authority reduced, quantity*2...

Chang Ruijia suddenly thought of something and hurriedly flipped through the redemption notice for the currently discounted skylight. Suddenly, she seemed to understand the change in the price of the kitchen knife.

"Exchange privileges are reduced for a limited time, and the required amount for exchange is automatically increased by 2"

It turns out that this rule is not just a simple talk. Chang Ruijia's eyes moved. It turns out that the system's association of exchange permissions between different levels is so simple and crude.

The second-level permission obtained by cutting fingernails and the third-level permission obtained by chopping down unknown creatures on the seabed are just numbers in the eyes of the system.

Just as she slapped her head in frustration, regretting not seeing the true face of the system earlier, something suddenly popped into her mind and interrupted all her emotions at the moment.

If the system simply doubles the exchange amount between the discounted and regular-priced kitchen knives, then Tianmu, who is currently on special promotion...

The moment she realized this, Chang Ruijia's indifferent attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

Buy it! Buy it now! If you don't take advantage of a bargain, you're a jerk!

Chang Ruijia immediately returned to the mall homepage and clicked on the redemption page with a pious heart, but was given a cold response by the system the next second.

[Special Sky Curtain Exchange Price: 4 points of Level 3 Exchange Permission]

Looking at the eye-catching number 4 in front of her, Chang Ruijia just wanted to say sorry for disturbing her.

A canopy that you don't know when it will be used actually costs 4 points of Level 3 redemption privilege? This is simply outrageous. It's just a ridiculous opening - it's outrageous to the extreme!

Even the kitchen knife that Chang Ruijia had been dreaming of only required 3 points of level 3 exchange privileges among the regular-priced items at this moment. How could a sky curtain be more expensive than a kitchen knife that could fly and intimidate people?

Faced with the choice of whether the skylight or the kitchen knife is more important, she would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

If she continued to be shocked like this, Chang Ruijia felt that she might really want to have a good talk with the system. Holding her little heart that could no longer bear the blow, she clicked on other columns and decided to divert her attention.

The housing and transportation items page still has no items added, which is expected.

According to the current situation, the products appearing in the system mall all pay special attention to the word "balance".

Putting aside the prices of the goods, according to the update frequency of all the goods appearing on the current mall interface, even if the goods are not updated at the same price, they will be updated synchronously according to the quality of the goods.

Even the special offer on the canopy requires 4 points of redemption authority, not to mention the other items that appear in these two categories.

Even if it appeared, Chang Ruijia felt that she would only be able to drool in envy.

However, unexpectedly, two products were updated in the clothing column, which I had not had much hope for.

[House shorts: Pure cotton floral print, new and fashionable. What? My grandparents fell in love with them instantly? See? I told you there's still a market for them. As for the quality, what else do you want at this price?]

Solid color T-shirts: Loose and simple, skin-friendly and breathable. Actually, there are tons of them in the factory. If you insist on saying they're special, does that count as being exceptionally cheap?

…

After reading the introductions of these two products, Chang Ruijia didn’t know what to say.

The third-level exchange privilege of 3 points for a pure cotton T-shirt was said to be very cheap, but I tolerated it because at least I could wear it out.

But those five-point floral shorts, which were said to be a popular item among our grandparents’ generation, are a slander to their aesthetic taste, yet they still require 3 points of third-level redemption privileges?

Chang Ruijia felt deep down that the system must have misunderstood her needs.

In fact, if there are really no new products, she wouldn't mind not launching new ones. There's really no need to use these things to be perfunctory, right?

After strolling around the system mall for a long time, although she didn't buy anything in the end, Chang Ruijia was already familiar with all the products in the mall.

Looking at the faint light that finally appeared in the sky, Chang Ruijia took a deep breath, feeling heavy in her heart.

The unbearable night was finally over, and it was time to face the dangers of the crowd.
