Chapter 2: Unusual Shelves
Xu Qiuqian checked the panel. Spiritual stones can be exchanged for points. It seems that she should use points to buy these things.
"Can we see what we can buy?"
[The store owner's points are less than 10, so the grocery mall cannot be opened~]
It seems that she must sell those ten low-level fire talismans first, and 10 points are required to open the grocery mall, which means that she has to sell those ten low-level fire talismans for at least ten spirit stones.
Then let’s set the price at twelve spirit stones.
Just as he was thinking about it, a miserable cry came from the door, and Xu Qiuqian quickly turned around to look.
The male cultivator whom I had just seen outside the store was now lying on the ground, twitching all over. If you looked closely, you could even see tiny flashes of lightning.
"What's going on?" She walked over.
The male cultivator stared at the shelf in horror, unable to speak clearly because of the electric shock: "It, it, it..."
Xu Qiuqian looked at the shelves. They looked like ordinary shelves. How could they make the male cultivator fall to the ground and twitch so frightened?
Is this person planning to commit fraud?
[Warm Tips: Void Objects can only be touched by the store owner and the store staff designated by the store owner. If other people touch them, the attack mode will be activated. Please remind the customers in the store to be careful~]
I see.
She thought it was just an ordinary shelf, but she didn't expect it to be so useful.
That's good. This way she doesn't have to worry about things on the shelves being stolen. After all, she is just a useless person with a damaged spiritual vein. If someone really has bad intentions, I'm afraid anyone can deal with her in her current condition.
By then, let alone selling things, I guess it will be difficult to keep the store.
"So you touched this shelf and it attacked you?"
The male cultivator got up from the ground in a panic and said angrily, "Yes, what's wrong with your store? How dare you hurt people? Do you know how dangerous I was just now? If something bad happens to me in your store, can you bear the consequences?"
As he spoke, he was calculating in his mind. The shelves were probably set up with a formation by a formation master. Anyone who could afford to open a store must have savings.
He also saw that Xu Qiuqian was a mortal without any spiritual energy. If it were someone else, he probably wouldn't be so rampant.
Xu Qiuqian frowned: "Then what do you want?"
"The formation on your shelf caused me to be so badly injured, so you must compensate me! Pay me two thousand spirit stones and I'll leave you alone. Otherwise, don't blame me for smashing your store!"
After saying that, he waited for Xu Qiuqian to pinch her nose and give him two thousand spirit stones. He was very proud. As expected of him, he could even think of such a perfect method. He had just wanted to steal those ten low-level fire talismans, but who knew that there was a formation set up on the shelf.
The shop owner was also puzzled. An ordinary formation cost at least five hundred spirit stones. The formation on the shelf was definitely not an ordinary formation. It cost at least five thousand spirit stones.
She had spirit stones to ask the formation master to set up a formation for the shelf, but she only put ten low-level fire talismans. What a smart, stupid woman! Just thinking about it, Xu Qiuqian sneered, crossed her arms and looked at the male cultivator coldly: "You tried to steal things from my store but failed, and were injured by the shelf formation. Now you dare to shamelessly ask me for spirit stones. I will count to three now. If you don't get out, don't blame me for being rude!"
"three."
The male cultivator sneered, "I want to see how you can be rude!"
He concluded that Xu Qiuqian was bluffing.
However, Xu Qiuqian was not at all panicked and just looked at him expressionlessly.
Seeing Xu Qiuqian's appearance, the male cultivator became suspicious. Could it be that she really had someone to rely on?
"Two." Since he was able to open a store and set up a formation on the shelves, perhaps... this store also has a formation? The male cultivator looked around the store and could see the end at a glance. His sight returned to the shelves at the door. The shelves looked ordinary, but when he touched them, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. Now thinking of the pain he felt when he was struck by lightning just now, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
"One." Seeing Xu Qiuqian's face becoming increasingly gloomy and the murderous light in his eyes almost overflowing, the male cultivator became afraid.
How could a mortal reveal such a strong murderous intent? She was not a mortal! "Let's go!" After saying that, she grabbed the boy next to her and ran out of the store as if escaping.
Xu Qiuqian looked at the backs of the two people running away. The boy who was being dragged by the male cultivator turned around and looked at her. Xu Qiuqian was slightly stunned. It was difficult to describe what kind of look that was.
There are too many emotions hidden in it, despair, pain, numbness, resentment, and a malice so strong that it cannot be dissolved.
Xu Qiuqian looked away and stopped looking. The young man also lowered his eyes slightly and then turned back.
“Pah. Pah. Pah…”
Accompanied by a round of applause, someone praised: "Smart, very smart!"
He was a handsome young man who looked about seventeen years old. He was dressed elegantly, had a leisurely look, and had an outstanding temperament. Behind him followed six monks, four men and two women, who all looked up to the young man.
Don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that this person looks extraordinary, Xu Qiuqian nodded: "Welcome."
"My name is Chen Wei. May I ask your name, young lady?"
"My last name is Xu, just call me Manager Xu."
Being called a girl by a seventeen-year-old boy, Xu Qiuqian got goosebumps. After all, she was over one hundred and thirty years old before she died in her previous life. In her eyes, this boy was no different from a baby.
"Miss Xu was very brave just now. Aren't you afraid that person will see through your trick?"
The male cultivator just now was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, so he naturally couldn't detect whether there were any formations in the store. In fact, Chen Wei couldn't detect it either, but he could ask the people who were protecting him.
They told him that there were indeed restrictions on the shelves, but there were no restrictions anywhere else.
In other words, Xu Qiuqian was indeed bluffing just now.
If she had shown any sign of timidity just now and been noticed by the male cultivator, given his temperament, he would have definitely attacked her. As a disabled person with a damaged spiritual vein, she would not have had any chance to fight back.
But she didn't show any fear at all. Not only that, she turned defense into offense, making the male cultivator think that Xu Qiuqian was actually a master who was hiding his true abilities.
Xu Qiuqian was surprised: "What's so scary about this?"
"Aren't you afraid that person will find out and kill you?"
"Then I won't let him go even if I become a ghost." Xu Qiuqian said expressionlessly.
When Chen Wei heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What an interesting mortal!
Xu Qiuqian just felt that Chen Wei's smile was a little weird, but he was a customer in the store.
"Sir, do you want to buy anything?"
Chen Wei's smile had not faded, and he asked her, "Okay, what do you have here?"
"Low-level fire talisman."
"What else?"
“No more.”
The low-level fire talisman was of no use to him, but considering the happiness Xu Qiuqian brought him, he didn't mind buying it and putting it in a corner to gather dust.
"Okay, how much is one?"
"Twelve Spiritual Stones each, and a pack of ten will cost one hundred and one."
The new store is opening, so let’s just give a discount, Xu Qiuqian thought with a painful feeling.
"A low-level fire talisman costs twelve spirit stones. What you are doing is..." What a profiteer!
"What's wrong?" Xu Qiuqian asked puzzledly.
"Nothing." The smile on Chen Wei's face faded. This was the first time that someone had so blatantly taken advantage of him after knowing who he was.
Forget it, since he said he wanted to buy it, he would buy it for one hundred yuan each. This amount of spirit stones is nothing to him.
He took a low-level fire talisman from the shelf and handed it to Chen Wei.
Chen Wei took out two spirit stones, "These are two middle-grade spirit stones, one is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones, no need to change."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"He's still a good man." Xu Qiuqian muttered as he looked at the spirit stone, "I'll give him a 50% discount next time."
[Ding, congratulations on selling ten low-level fire talismans. The soft cloud bed has been issued! ]
[Ding, it is detected that the host has 200 low-grade spirit stones, which can be exchanged for 20 points. Would you like to exchange the points and open the grocery mall? ]
