Chapter 324

"This vending machine is so convenient!" Tang Yu'an said excitedly.

Zhou Qi next to him couldn't help but sigh, An An really gets whatever he needs!

"Let me try."

Zhou Qi walked up to the vending machine to scan his face, and saw a line of small words pop up on the panel: [This vending machine is only open to customers].

Tang Yu'an came over and felt a little disappointed when he saw this line of text.

"Ah... so, doesn't that mean we can't hire Shanfeng as an employee?"

Zhou Qi didn't think it was a big deal. He said, "Since we already have a vending machine, there's no need to hire him as an employee."

Their original purpose was just to hope that someone could continue to do business with the giants while they were away from the other dimension. Now with the vending machines, it has become simple and direct.

"Doesn't that mean Shanfeng can't help us with our business?" Tang Yu'an asked.

"Why not?" Zhou Qi said, "Does it mean that only by becoming our employee can you help us do business?"

Tang Yu'an was stunned.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "He can also use the goods he gets from us to trade with other giants, and then use the traded goods to exchange for more goods he needs through the vending machine."

During this process, except for not being able to gain experience points, they can still gain points, and they do not need to be paid wages.

Of course, there is no way to assign tasks to Shanfeng.

However, they have no idea about the alternate dimension for the time being. After all, they have too many things to do. The wasteland plane and the original world alone take up most of their energy, and they really have no time to spare.

It’s not too late to make plans when you have an idea in the future.

After listening to Zhou Qi's explanation, Tang Yu'an realized that his thinking was rigid. He nodded and said, "This is not bad. Shanfeng is like our partner. They can buy goods from us and sell them!"

Just like the merchants in Jufeng Mountain, they can go to Jufeng Grocery Store to exchange pepper and make hot soup to sell.

Although these merchants are not employees, they also bring them a considerable number of points. As long as they always have product advantages, they do not have to worry about losing these merchants.

"Then let's go back to the alternate dimension!"

They didn't say goodbye when they left, and Shanfeng and Sasa were still waiting for their reply.

After Tang Yu'an minimized the vending machine, he put it into his personal storage, and then he and Zhou Qi took the teleportation array back to Qiancenglin Grocery Store.

Shanfeng was still waiting outside the grocery store. If Little Phoenix hadn't been there, he would have thought that the two little men selling things had left again. When he saw them reappear, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mountain Breeze, we brought this for you!"

Tang Yu'an took out the vending machine and adjusted it to the maximum.

"What is this?" Shanfeng looked at the vending machine curiously, feeling unfamiliar and novel about this square-shaped thing.

When Shanfeng appeared in front of the vending machine, the panel of the vending machine automatically lit up, and then emitted a beam of light to scan his face.

[Calling customer files...Customer information has been locked and the customer account has been created]

Mountain Breeze

【Attribute: Old Customer】

[Race: Giant]

【Points Balance: 0】

[This race's language is not included. The voice mode has been automatically switched. The voice pack is being called: Giant Language.]

As this text appeared, a mechanical voice rang out: "It's a pleasure to serve you. Please tell me what you would like to purchase."

Shanfeng was startled, "Who, who is talking?"

"It's this vending machine." Tang Yu'an explained.

He also didn't expect that this vending machine was so smart. It could not only retrieve customer information and automatically switch to voice service, but also accurately select the appropriate voice package!

It’s worthy of being a system product!

"Can this thing talk?" Shan Feng asked, "Is it also a robot?"

"That's understandable."

Shanfeng suddenly became interested and said, "I want potato chips!"

The mechanical voice sounded again: "Restocking, please wait."

Along with this mechanical sound, a message popped up in front of Tang Yu'an.

[Vending Machine No. 0001: Mysterious Merchant, regular customer "Shanfeng" is using the vending machine and needs to restock "Potato Chips"]

[Vending Machine No. 0001: The vending machine is sold out. Please restock as soon as possible.]

How to replenish goods?

Tang Yu'an opened the homepage panel and found that there was indeed an "automatic vending machine" function interface in the panel, through which he could replenish goods.

There are two ways to replenish goods, one is the wholesale market and the other is the portable warehouse.

He needs to set the items on the shelves in the vending machine in advance, otherwise he will have to replenish them in real time when customers make purchases.

This is more convenient than ordinary vending machines.

Tang Yu'an first added potato chips, and the supplementary source was the wholesale market.

[You have restocked "Vending Machine 0001" with potato chips. Your current purchase points are 0. Do you want to top up?]

Tang Yu'an studied it roughly.

In other words, he needs to transfer a portion of his points into the active purchasing account, and then choose the types of goods that the vending machine can sell.

When a customer makes a purchase, the vending machine deducts points in exchange for the goods and sells them at the price he sets.

Yes, he also needs to set a price.

Tang Yu'an couldn't help but feel conflicted. He asked Zhou Qi through the message board and soon got a reply.

【Message Board (Private Chat with Friends)】

[Liangzai Porridge: 20%]

[Dongtu Datang: Is that too much? ]

[Jiangzai Zhou: No]

This is a very normal profit. If it weren't for the huge size difference between the giants and them and the huge amount of each transaction, Zhou Qi might have increased the profit margin a little bit.

Therefore, Tang Yu'an increased all prices by 20% based on the value, and then transferred 100,000 points to the purchasing points account.

He looked at the instructions and learned that the points earned from the vending machine would be stored and transferred to his personal points account when he withdrew them.

He can also check the box so that if the purchase points are insufficient, they will be automatically transferred from the points earned.

What’s more humane is that the items purchased from customers can also be automatically put on the shelves, so that truly automated operations can be achieved.

However, Tang Yu'an only checked the option to automatically transfer points. After all, the thousand-layer leaves and crystals used by the giants for trading were what they needed.

After making sure the settings were complete, he put all the food that Shanfeng and Sasa liked to eat on the shelves.

[Vending Machine No. 0001: Restocking completed. Please clean the vending machine's cargo area regularly, otherwise it may affect the normal operation of the vending machine.]

If a vending machine is out of stock, it will no longer be able to receive goods from customers. Once the customer points are used up, the vending machine will have to stop working.

Fortunately, the vending machine's warehouse is connected to Tang Yu'an's portable warehouse. As long as he regularly cleans the portable warehouse designated as a warehouse, he doesn't have to worry about this problem.

"The potato chips are fully stocked. Please select your size and flavor."

Pictures appear on the panel, and the options for each picture are explained in voice.

Shanfeng's head was about to explode when he heard this, but fortunately Sasa noticed the movement on their side and came over to discuss with him.

After they selected the specifications and flavors, the panel changed again.

"Insufficient points balance. Place the transaction item in the area illuminated by the aperture in front of the vending machine."

I saw that the aperture that had just scanned the mountain breeze was projected onto the ground, forming a circle.

Shanfeng tentatively put the melaleuca leaves that Sasa had just collected on it.

"Goods have been placed. Do you want to proceed with the transaction?"

"Trade, trade." Shanfeng said anxiously.

Then, the thousand-layer leaves in the aperture disappeared from their sight, and the information on the panel changed again.

"Trading 103 Melaleuca alternifolia leaves. My points balance is 10,300. Would you like to exchange them for a large bag of tomato-flavored potato chips?"

Although the vending machine spoke in Giant language, Shanfeng still understood it after a while before nodding and saying, "Change, change a pack."

"Points deducted successfully! Delivery in progress, please wait."

As the light flashed, a bag of potato chips at least two meters long appeared in the circle of light. Shanfeng and Sasa were ecstatic when they saw it.

"We really got it!" they said happily.

Seeing that the process went smoothly, Tang Yu'an smiled and nodded, "Yes, this vending machine will be placed here. When you want to exchange things, just look for it."

"Okay, okay." Shanfeng laughed happily.

He opened the potato chips and asked Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi first. Seeing that they didn't want any, he shared them with Sasa.

"By the way, do you want to use the teleportation function?" At this time, Tang Yu'an started to sell it to them again.

"Teleportation function?"

Seeing that they were confused, Tang Yu'an patiently explained to them.

"From now on, you can take the teleportation array to visit Uncle Bol and the others, and you can go back and forth on the same day."

Shanfeng and Sasa were amazed when they heard this.

"You are such an amazing race!" they exclaimed, adding, "But your house is too small. We can't get in."

“That’s easy.”

Tang Yu'an moved the teleportation array into the yard, so even if only one foot stepped in, it would not affect its use.

Of course, he also needs to arrange the other huts that serve as teleportation points.

"Each round trip costs 5,000 points, which can be purchased at the vending machine," said Tang Yu'an.

This is also a function prompted by the system. After the purchase is successful, the vending machine will generate a round-trip transmission card, which will become invalid after the number of times is reset to zero.

Tang Yu'an even thought that this kind of teleportation card could be used at home, just like an overnight stay card.

Unfortunately, this function is currently only available in vending machines.

So after saying goodbye to Shanfeng and Sasa and going to other teleportation array huts to make arrangements, Tang Yu'an asked the system.

"System, is there any other way to obtain this vending machine?"

This is such a useful machine, I definitely need more of them! And the one he has is number 0001, so there must be more than one, right?

[Host please work hard to upgrade]

Looking at the system's reply, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but curl his lips. Upgrading in the future would become more and more difficult. How long would it take him to reach level 33?

At this time, Zhou Qi next to him spoke.

"Try using the seven-day sale refresh card, maybe it will work?" Anyway, they still have two refresh cards.

【……】

The system popped up a string of ellipsis, and Tang Yu'an excitedly said, "Okay, let's give it a try!"

The author has something to say:

System: Handsome Zhou, hold your tongue! [Angry]
