Chapter 9 Rules Convenience Store
If it were in the real world, Qiao Song would never spend this money in vain, but this is a copy world.
At the beginning of the copy, the wages were paid to the players first, which was probably a form of selective protection, allowing them to buy things that were beneficial to them.
The only thing that Qiao Song was curious about was that since he was paid a salary of 210, there would definitely not be only 25 soul coins waiting for him to spend, and whether there would be any other consumption items in the convenience store.
The humanoid creature holding the display screen almost hummed a song as he collected the soul coins from the two people. He flicked his white-gloved index finger and arranged two shelves for the people.
Qiao Song narrowed his eyes: "Pay to sleep on the shelf?"
"Oh, it's the shelf hut, here are the keys for both of you~"
The manager blew them a kiss before leaving and said they would come back automatically when it was time to work.
The brass keychain fell into his arms, and Qiao Song instantly felt that the shelves in the warehouse were a little different. A halo of light flashed by, and the shelves in front of him began to expand like expanding mahjong tiles. In an instant, a building covering the sky suddenly rose from the ground -
No, it's not that the shelves are getting bigger, they're getting smaller.
With a click, Qiao Song's feet landed on the ground and appeared inside a tall and unfamiliar building.
But it wasn’t completely unfamiliar. Qiao Song immediately leaned on the railing and looked out: “It really is a shelf hut…”
In front of you are tall buildings that seem to be hundreds of meters high, but if you look closely you can find that they are all familiar decorations, but they have been infinitely magnified.
The cartons stacked with goods were like giant containers, and the white water pool in the distance that was used to store human body raw materials last night now looked like a white cliff, and a hollow one at that.
It turns out that the rest rooms in convenience stores are mini houses on the shelves?
She had clearly never seen such a magical thing on the shelves in the warehouse before.
No wonder the supermarket is so small, yet it can provide accommodation for several of them at the same time. It turns out that the dormitory does not take up any space at all.
However, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't seem to be grouped together with himself. Judging from the volume, there might be countless small houses on one shelf.
Qiao Song took the key in his hand, turned around and opened the gray door in front of him.
It was a very ordinary one-bedroom apartment, but it actually had a bathroom and a kitchen. It was so ordinary that it seemed like the most standard cozy one-bedroom apartment in real life.
If there is anything special about it, it is that all these places are posted with sticky notes.
"A 10-minute shower costs one soul coin for cold water and two soul coins for hot water. The cheapest instant noodles start at one soul coin..."
Why don't you just rob this crappy convenience store?!
No, this is already being snatched.
Qiao Song closed his eyes, thinking that he shouldn’t have too much expectations from unscrupulous businessmen.
But what is very interesting is that this whole room is just like a model house. There is a small label in the corner of every product, indicating its price.
Qiao Song thought for a while, searched everywhere in the room, and sure enough, he found a mark somewhere on the wall.
【Portable Zoom Cabin (One-Bedroom Version)】
[Build the most intimate home for every person living in a small house! (Price 10,000 Soul Coins)]
Wow, this price is almost as high as a small car in the game Street Fighter.
But she seemed to suddenly understand how those people who live in the car for a long time solve the problems of sleeping and going to the toilet.
Wait, when she was strolling in the supermarket during the day, she roughly scanned the goods in the store, including the shelf where the red pass of the Goblin League was needed, and she only saw some card-like things, which should be prop cards, but she had never seen this thing called a portable zoom cabin.
So this thing is only sold among convenience store employees?
Doesn't that mean you can only buy it after you pass the Novice Convenience Store copy, just like you can only buy a car in the bus copy.
New players definitely cannot afford 10,000 soul coins. Only old players who have completed many dungeons and saved enough money can do so. And one of the old players in this dungeon is Xin Boyu.
Interesting, is there a purchase limit for this kind of thing? Otherwise, why would Xin Boyu hide so much information?
Qiao Song can’t afford it for the time being, but she still has two days left before going to work, which doesn’t mean she can’t afford it after two days.
She ordered herself a hot lunch, then turned on the hot shower and took a comfortable bath.
Although I really want to call the convenience store owner a profiteer, this cabin is indeed very comfortable and lives up to its product introduction, "Satisfying all those who live alone."
Qiao Song had a good sleep after eating and drinking. After waking up, he studied all the products in the cabin and it was 10 minutes before work time.
Qiao Song saw a reminder pop up in front of him that there were only 10 minutes left to use the cabin.
She held the key and soon reappeared next to the warehouse shelf. The convenience store owner holding the display screen did not take the key back. The familiar smiley face emoji jumped on the screen:
"If you want to stay for the next two days, you can renew your subscription automatically."
hehe.
There were several other people standing behind the store manager, and only Tang Xiaoxiao quietly stretched out her hand to greet Qiao Song. Qiao Song narrowed his eyes and looked at the positions of Xin Boyu, Uncle Ma and Aunt Liu, which seemed to indicate that they were forming a group.
Except for Aunt Liu who was obviously a little embarrassed, Uncle Ma and Xin Boyu looked very calm.
It seems that when she and Tang Xiaoxiao went out of the convenience store to look for clues during the day, the two of them had already pulled Aunt Liu into the same camp.
Uncle Ma and Xin Boyu, both of them may be old players.
The employees were all present, and the store manager was ready to speak. A string of new emojis flashed across its fancy display:
"Yesterday was the first day of business for our convenience store, and the sales far exceeded my expectations! The only thing that was not so nice was that the ladies at the front desk received two complaints."
Qiao Song instantly guessed that it was most likely a complaint letter written by the hippopotamus and the mother and son.
She raised her eyebrows and didn't care about it. If there was really a punishment, the two ghosts would have been more arrogant at that time, instead of waiting until she had controlled them and then complaining like children.
But speaking of complaints...
She rubbed her fingers and thought of the complaint phone number of the bus company saved in her phone when she got off the bus on the first night.
At this time, the TV creature wearing white gloves held his forehead with one hand, seeming a little distressed: "Since our convenience store has just opened, the front desk is also very important, so the tasks of the warehouse and the front desk will be switched today."
He pointed at several people except Aunt Liu with his fingers.
"The two ladies who were complained about will go to the back of the warehouse to work, and you two gentlemen will go to the front desk."
Xin Boyu and Uncle Ma, who were pointed out, seemed to have expected it. They accepted the arrangement calmly, leaving Tang Xiaoxiao holding the corner of Qiao Song's clothes with a look of surprise.
They had finally figured out the rules for operating at the convenience store front desk yesterday, so why were they sent to the back today?
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Just follow the warehouse management rules. What are you afraid of? Think about your books."
Tang Xiaoxiao seemed to vaguely see the word "troublemaking" on her sister Qiao's face.
In fact, Qiao Song guessed that even if there was no complaint, it was very likely that the staff in the store would be swapped out at work, otherwise the two old players would not have been so calm.
Qiao Song pointed his finger at the piece of white paper still stuck to the edge of the pool.
【Warehouse Management Rules】
The goods in the daytime are handled during the daytime. There are actually only three things they need to pay attention to when they are on duty at night:
Do not allow goods that have not been put on the shelves to leave the warehouse;
Distinguish white shelf ingredients from red shelf ingredients and do not confuse them;
During working hours, a courier will pick up the goods every hour. The blue courier can take the goods from the red shelf. The courier who is not wearing a blue coat can take the goods from the white shelf. Just prepare the goods in advance.
If any of these steps go wrong, their parts may be used to replenish the supply.
Qiao Song put her hands on Tang Xiaoxiao's shoulders and said, "Your book will probably do a great job tonight. I'll take you to earn some extra money tonight."
Tang Xiaoxiao swallowed, and although she was still afraid, she recalled the commission she got on the first day of business and the more than 1,000 soul coins she got from the robbery during the day.
Well, although she was really scared, her sister Qiao always seemed to be able to lead her to wealth and fame through danger.
Compared to the two people in the warehouse who were quickly calming down, Lao Ma and Xin Boyu who were walking towards the front desk obviously did not look as relaxed as they appeared.
Lao Ma might have been really tired in the warehouse last night. As soon as he relaxed a little, he was reminded by the person next to him.
Xin Boyu: "Although job changes are bound to happen, the front desk is not that simple. Remember to keep your skills on tonight."
Uncle Ma is a warehouse manager in real life and is very experienced in the scheduling of goods in and out. His skill is that he can check the status of all non-living and partially living organisms within a certain range.
【Warehouse manager's special notepad】
[Are you still worried about the difficulty in checking the goods coming in and out? With this notebook, you can automatically record the time and quantity of all goods coming in and out. What, you said your goods have legs and can run? What does the notebook have to do with that? The notebook is only responsible for recording. You have to rely on yourself to catch the goods. ]
With this skill, Uncle Ma can spend a few nights safely in the warehouse without any problem. Even if the goods run away, he can locate the specific location of the goods as quickly as possible.
So for them, the warehouse at night was not as scary as they described to the two girls yesterday.
But that may not be the case for the two newcomers.
The main reason was that Xin Boyu told him that the items needed by the team this time could only be obtained at the convenience store front desk at night. The two old players spent a lot of energy locking down this convenience store copy just for that thing.
Meanwhile, in the warehouse, Qiao Song was also telling Tang Xiaoxiao earnestly, "Red shelves will definitely rise at night. There will only be more and more ghost things at night, and the difficulty will definitely not decrease. You must be prepared at night."
Xin Boyu at the front desk also warned Lao Ma: "There will be more red shelves tonight. You will receive guests and I will go find things."
Aunt Liu, who was cleaning, was standing at the back door of the convenience store. She was a little nervous holding the tools, but when Xin Boyu looked over, she nodded seriously.
The pointer ticked and the time came to 23:00.
A bell rang, followed by a cheerful electronic child's voice at the door: "Welcome, dear customer, come to the convenience store and choose the products you like."
The first wave of guests for the evening arrived.
