Chapter 140 Service Personnel (Unfinished) "You seem to have another business..."
Who says college graduates can't find jobs?
One-click application for a cashier position at a large chain supermarket, who wants to apply?
This good fortune is fine with anyone, but Liang Yan doesn't want it.
The shopping cart she had emptied was still in the aisle. Liang Jun had a sudden thought and pulled out a can of vegetables that she was least interested in from her shopping bag.
She wanted to see if she could still safely toss the canned vegetables into her shopping cart even if she crossed the counter.
But in reality, the canned goods lay unharmed at the bottom of the shopping cart, while Leung Yung herself couldn't even step over the counter.
The dungeon game has already started, and they have less than an hour left before they have to start their so-called "work tasks".
Liang Xun closed her eyes tightly, slowly exhaled, and tried to fill her mind with the thought of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it".
Just as she was thinking this, Liang Xun felt something lightly hit her neck, and then saw a ball of paper roll down onto the cashier counter.
She subconsciously looked up and happened to meet Jiang Zhiling's gaze.
Jiang Zhiling stood behind the cashier counter in front of her, pointing with both hands at the product display screen in front of her.
"Sister, my computer suddenly stopped displaying anything," she said, her expression and movements revealing helplessness, her large eyes filled with panic. "Do you know why this is happening?"
Upon hearing her say that, Liang Jun instinctively looked at her own product display screen.
However, the page still showed payment statistics, and apart from some wavy or distorted images, it did not show the abnormality that Jiang Zhiling had mentioned.
She couldn't see the specifics of the other party's computer in person, so Liang Jun could only shake her head, "I don't know either..."
Jiang Zhiling was taken aback at first, but after quickly thanking her, she turned around and crumpled up a brand new small paper ball, which she threw at Gu Keke in front of her, and continued to ask her about the specific situation.
Liang Jun turned halfway around again, facing all the checkout items in her area.
They know the system is very secretive, so the known rules that are revealed must be the most important.
Of the five rules that are known today, the first sentence of each one begins exactly the same: "as a cashier in the store."
As a cashier in a store—
This is not only the character identity that players obtain in this instance, but also a point that the system tries its best to make unforgettable for players.
Liang Jun would then etch that phrase into her very being through smoking—
She is no longer herself, nor anyone else; she is just an ordinary, diligent, and hardworking cashier.
After successfully brainwashing herself into her temporary identity, Liang Jun began to carefully study the relatively unfamiliar tools in front of her.
After the self-checkout, she had basically mastered how to use these tools. It was nothing more than scanning codes, receiving payments, and picking up tickets. Liang Jun then briefly ran through the whole process without any physical objects and felt that there were no problems. She then put the tools back in a place that was easy for her to hold, in case anything unexpected happened.
After standing for a long time, my legs and feet became noticeably sore.
Liang Jun searched for a long time but couldn't find anything to sit on in the space. Fortunately, she was still wearing the sneakers that Geng Qing had given her earlier. Liang Jun shook her feet, which relieved the numbness a little.
From behind, Xin Sang's voice drifted over, "Babies, remember to check beforehand if there's enough paper in the receipt printer. If not, remember to replace it promptly—"
Liang Xun turned around and saw Xin Sang holding up several rolls of brand-new, white printing paper, waving them in mid-air.
"The new printer paper is in a small hidden compartment under the cash drawer. Remember to check it beforehand—"
Upon hearing Xin Sang's reminder, Liang Jun immediately took action and indeed found three or four rolls of brand-new printing paper at the location the other party had indicated.
She then opened the back cover of the receipt printer next to the card reader, and after checking that there was enough paper inside, Liang Jun closed it again with peace of mind.
Gu Keke exclaimed with genuine admiration, "Sister Xin, you're amazing! How do you even know something like this!"
Xin Sang loosened her red hair, which was casually tied up behind her head, and quickly retied it into a neat bun.
"I used to run my own online store, so I'm extremely familiar with things like scanning and generating orders..."
It turns out that she honed her shrewd business acumen by running an online store.
Liang Jun was about to casually agree when, before she could even speak, the bell rang again from the loudspeaker overhead.
Unsurprisingly, there were a total of eight shots this time.
Game time: 08:00.
But Leung Chun knew very well that it hadn't been more than an hour since the last time the bell was rung.
It didn't even take half an hour!
She picked up her phone, which she had casually placed next to the product display screen. The screen saver showed that only ten minutes had passed since the first bell-ringing ceremony.
But Liang Jun quickly grasped this concept. One hour in the game world is equivalent to ten minutes in the real world.
If calculated this way, the rule requiring cashier work to be done from 8 am to 8 pm is actually only 120 minutes long.
Two hours of high-intensity system tasks were completed; when you think about it, it's actually quite humane.
While Liang Jun was joking in her mind, she was actually setting an alarm for herself two hours later.
Having gone through everything before, she now dared not trust the system at all. Liang Jun worried that the system might sabotage the players during the bell-ringing broadcast, so she felt more at ease reminding herself herself.
After setting the alarm clock, Liang Jun also took a screenshot of it and sent it to the "Never Die" group chat.
Liang Ying: [If calculated according to actual time, we only need to work continuously for two hours.]
Leung Chung: [It's best if everyone sets an alarm on their phone in advance to deal with any emergencies caused by system time discrepancies.]
"Who left their shopping cart here? It's in the way!"
A muffled voice interrupted Liang Xun's thoughts. She abruptly looked up from her phone screen and met the scrutinizing gaze of the person in front of her.
This man was at least 2.5 meters tall, and his waist was so large that Liang Jun couldn't see the end of it. His body, like a weight, was piled up in the checkout aisle, his loose flesh trembling violently with every slight movement, giving one the illusion that he was about to fall to the ground and emulsify into a puddle of filth.
Liang Jun's gaze shifted slightly downwards, catching sight of the shopping basket that he was carrying under his armpits, making it appear particularly tiny.
She quickly realized that this was probably the "customer" mentioned in the rules. Liang Jun decisively hid her phone back in the gap of the drawer, then raised a friendly smile and looked at the giant in front of her with her eyes crinkling.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to help you."
The rules state that a player's performance is closely related to the customer complaint rate.
Although she didn't know what factors were related to the complaint rate, Liang Jun thought that as long as the service attitude was top-notch, there shouldn't be any mistakes.
Sure enough, after enjoying Liang Jun's smiling service, the giant NPC's tone of voice softened considerably.
Instead of worrying about the shopping cart blocking the aisle, he casually stuffed the contents of the cart into his pocket and made it his own.
Fortunately, she had already packed all the supplies into the shopping bag at her feet. The only thing she lost so far was the canned vegetables she had used for experiments.
She watched as the other person placed the shopping basket under their arm on the checkout counter, and then Liang Jun smelled a sour, foul odor emanating from the plastic basket.
The giant, however, showed no unusual behavior. He casually glanced around, seemingly waiting for Liang Jun to pay the bill for him.
But Liang Jun knew very well that there was still a crucial step she hadn't taken.
"Please show me your membership card," Liang Jun politely reminded him.
The giant belatedly exclaimed "Oh!" and then his fat fingers reached into the pocket where he had just stuffed the can.
The sound of the card hitting the metal can was quite obvious, but the giant still pretended that he hadn't found anything yet, holding his head high and repeating the same action.
His original intention was to make Liang Xun impatient, but who knew that Liang Xun's patience far exceeded his expectations.
Several minutes passed, and she remained unhurried and smiling. The giant gave up and reluctantly took out his membership card from his pocket.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Liang Jun responded with a gentle smile, but her actions were anything but gentle; she deftly snatched the thin card from the giant's tightly clenched fingers.
After receiving the card, Liang Jun carefully scanned every piece of information on the card with her naked eye, not letting any clue slip by.
However, there was no mention of an "expiration date" on it. Liang Jun ran her fingertip over the magnetic stripe on the back of the card and decided to give it a try anyway.
Although the card reader did not give any prompts, Liang Jun gritted her teeth and swiped the magnetic stripe of the card directly across the reader's recognition area.
Almost at the same moment, a green warning box lit up on the product display screen.
In addition to the green border proving that the membership card is valid, there is also a headshot of the cardholder inside the border.
Despite the blurry image quality, Liang Xuan squinted slightly and could still make out that the person in the photo on the screen was the giant NPC standing in front of her waiting to pay.
[Hidden rule triggered.]
3. As a cashier in the store, you must ensure that every customer who comes to shop has a valid membership card. Membership is strictly based on real names. If you find that the cardholder's identity does not match the person's, please direct the customer to another checkout lane.
Sensing the supplementation of the hidden rules, Liang Jun finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It seems the system was relatively lenient this time, assigning me a task that wasn't too outrageous.
After confirming that the membership card was valid, Liang Jun handed the card back to Giant with both hands. Then she took out the items from his shopping basket one by one and scanned them with a barcode scanner. The product display screen then showed the price of each item.
Seeing that Liang Jun had successfully scanned the last item, the giant paused twice and casually mentioned, "Oh, by the way, could you also give me a bag?"
You also need to pay for the bags.
After skillfully scanning the barcode on the shopping bag, she placed the barcode scanner aside and rested her hands on the edge of the counter.
How much is it in total?
The giant asked casually, then pulled a worn-out wallet from his pocket, ready to pay for his purchase.
Liang Jun was in no hurry to announce the amount displayed on the screen.
She calmly reminded her, "It seems you still have one item you haven't checked out."
