Chapter 5 Rules Convenience Store
A rule-based convenience store that treats humans and ghosts equally.
The old woman wanted to throw a tantrum, but the Sunny Doll tied her up tightly with the string of the wind chimes. A big head that swelled up like a balloon instantly stopped in front of the old woman:
"The damaged goods total 7296 soul coins. None of you are allowed to leave until you are compensated."
Not only the old lady at the door, but even the mother and son standing next to the freezer wanted to run away instantly.
The woman was holding the child and was about to walk towards the back door, but the glass door slammed and the back door was locked.
The Sunny Day Doll, which had expanded to the point where it blocked the entire door, opened its scarlet mouth:
"7296 Soul Coins, how do you want to pay?"
Qiao Song was watching from behind and was amazed. It was indeed a black shop that spared no humans or ghosts.
She stood far away from the yogurt shelf and looked at the mess on the ground: "I've said it before, free things are the most expensive."
The ghost girl holding the child immediately pointed her finger at her and said, "I'm going to report your clerk for violating the rules! She wanted to sell us items from the red shelf without swiping her card!"
Qiao Song immediately looked innocent: "I never said from the beginning to the end that I would sell it to you."
She picked up a box of squashed yogurt and said, "I told you this yogurt smells weird, but you guys are still fighting over it. It's really weird."
The huge sunny doll turned its head towards Qiao Song, and after determining that she had indeed not violated any rules, it turned its head towards the mother and son.
A scarlet mouth opened wider and wider.
"A total of 7296 soul coins, please pay."
Now even a fool would know that he has been cheated.
The female ghost holding the child cursed the black shop several times, but in the end she could only look sad and took out rolls of banknotes with black silhouettes drawn on them from her bag, but the amount was far from enough.
"We only have over 2,000 here. Can we let that old ghost pay for it herself?"
The old woman, who had been tied up and unable to move, almost had one of her eyes popped out in an instant. Her skin began to rot gradually, and blood flowed from all her orifices, as if she was returning to her pre-death state.
“Mmmmm—you shameless—mmmm—”
Fenglingxian found some scattered money from the old woman, totaling more than 1,000 yuan.
Qiao Song suddenly stood up and said, "Hey, this guest seems to need soul exchange service. There is a 24-hour automatic soul vending machine at the door. Do you want to take a look?"
Even the Sunny Doll at the door couldn't help but look at Qiao Song again.
The female ghost, who was about to burst into tears while holding the ghost child, finally reacted: "Yes, yes, yes, there must be a soul vending machine at the entrance of a newly opened convenience store like yours. We can sell this old ghost and get some money!"
She doesn't want to be torn to pieces.
But ghosts who haven't paid cannot leave the convenience store, so Qiao Song walked over and negotiated with the Sunny Day Doll, asking it to open the door so that he could go out and throw the tied up old ghost into the vending machine.
After she promised not to leave the convenience store, Sunny Doll actually opened the door.
When Qiao Song mentioned the ghost old lady who was tied up, he happily rushed towards the soul vending machine that he had wanted to use for a long time.
The soul vending machine standing in the corner outside the convenience store is like a big matchbox. The trumpet-shaped entrance in the center is empty at this moment, like a black hole that can absorb all life.
The old lady in Qiao Song's hand struggled frantically and looked at her with resentment. If she hadn't been entangled in the wind chime string at the door, she would have violated the rules and come up to tear a piece of her flesh.
Qiao Song didn't hesitate and picked her up and threw her in like a bag of garbage.
With a whoosh, the old lady was sucked in like icing on ice.
The black soul vending machine emitted a dazzling light like the small colored lights around it. A colorful screen suddenly appeared, with colored bars scrolling wildly on it, and the old woman's various resentful and crazy faces kept appearing.
Finally, there was a ding sound.
"Recover one white-clothed ghost, a total of 3,000 soul coins!"
The wonderful sound of counting money suddenly rang out, the cash outlet popped open, and a stack of brand new money appeared.
Holding the fresh soul coins, Qiao Song felt that the entire convenience store copy had become cute.
So what if there are so many restrictive rules? Not all humans are weak.
Isn't this another way to make money? Sell ghosts to make extra money!
Tang Xiaoxiao, who had no idea of her bold idea, was still standing at the front desk, watching the situation at the back door nervously.
She only knew that there was a sound of glass breaking suddenly in the snack area, and then the back door seemed to be sealed. When she saw the white sunny doll, she was already thinking about whether to rush out to help Sister Qiao Song, but she seemed to only hear the dry howling of those ghosts.
Sister Qiao Song should be okay, right?
Just as she was twisting the corner of her clothes, hesitating whether to listen to the other party and stay here, Qiao Song had already returned with a happy face.
"Xiao Xiao, why do you look like that?"
As usual, she snorted the innocent little head of a high school student.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked her up and down: "Sister, are you okay?"
Qiao Song gave a sincere smile: "Of course I'm not the one in trouble."
A burst of crying was heard in front of the cashier counter. Tang Xiaoxiao saw that the female ghost was holding the child tightly in her arms, covering the child's mouth that was still sobbing.
The ghost child cried until his face was covered with black tears, but he didn't dare to ask for chocolate eyeballs.
I ate all my grandma's food while eating a snack.
Beep beep.
The broken perfume bottle labels were scanned into the cash register system one by one, and the rest of the money squeezed out by the female ghost after she spent all her money was collected. After the 7296 soul coins were collected, the front and back closed doors were finally unlocked, and the giant sunny doll with bared fangs and claws turned back to its original cute and exquisite appearance and continued to hang on the wind chime.
Qiao Song waved at the female ghost and her son who were almost running for their lives from the convenience store.
"Welcome to visit us next time."
The ghost child who was held tightly didn't even want to look at her and could only bite his fingers and continue crying.
But as soon as I mention the keyword "eyeball", my mother will slap me on the head.
"I told you to eat, you eat. If you hadn't asked for chocolate eyeballs, your grandma wouldn't be dead."
The crying sound spread far away before disappearing into the darkness.
Qiao Song was in a very good mood.
Because she just saw the new words that appeared on the system panel after the front desk settlement.
[Congratulations on your sales tonight exceeding 5,000! Reward the front desk staff with a 1% commission each! ]
[Please continue to work hard to help the Rule Convenience Store to grow bigger and stronger in the infinite road of survival! Create more glory! ]
Tang Xiaoxiao also saw this message, and at the same time, her system balance had increased by several dozen yuan.
Her eyes widened instantly: "Sister Qiao Song, is this extra money?"
Qiao Song smiled: "Silly boy, this is the real commission for work. They won't be stingy and only give us 1% of the extra income. After get off work, I will take you to do some no-cost business."
Tang Xiaoxiao was frightened by her.
I don’t know if it was because Qiao Song had gone too far, but there were almost no customers in the entire convenience store in the second half of the night.
Even if they did, they would just buy normal things in a hurry, and they wouldn't use any other tricks. They would just do what they bought and leave.
Sometimes, when Qiao Song looked at these ghosts that came in the late night, which were tall and strong but specialized in picking up daily necessities, he would still wonder if they were disguised as humans.
How could there be ghosts that only eat human food?
This made her want to continue her sting operation, but she didn't know where to start.
And the one in front of me seems to be the last guest of the day.
Although he was also tall and strong, he was not like the previous guests, who either had an animal head or looked eerie and ghostly.
He was wearing a high-collared jacket that completely covered his face, and even his hands were covered with thick gloves.
Qiao Song scanned the code to pay for several lunch boxes, bottles of water and some snacks, and asked casually if they needed plastic bags.
The person opposite seemed stunned for a moment, then nodded.
After a few beeps, Qiao Song helped him pack his things, gave him the change, and said with a smile, "Welcome to visit next time."
The guest opposite did not leave immediately, but took out a small notebook and seemed to have written something down.
Qiao Song immediately remembered that when the guest first entered the door and smelled the lingering scent of perfume in the air, he seemed to go to the place where they had spilled the perfume and yogurt before, and that area had already been cleaned by Aunt Liu.
Could it be that he is here to check the hygiene?
The dangers encountered when the convenience store was open tonight were almost all caused by the few customers who came in the first half of the night.
Although these ghosts that come to the convenience store do not seem to be in the same group, almost every customer who leaves creates an opportunity for the next person to enter the store.
If the water stains left by the fish head customer are not cleaned up, the family of three who come in later will fall. The hippopotamus will unlock the red shelf after swiping the card. If the items are sold to customers without a pass, it will violate the rules of the convenience store employee code.
The purpose of these guys, without exception, is to trip up the convenience store employees.
The things on the red shelves still cost money to buy, but a fresh and delicious convenience store clerk has so many parts in his body.
As long as she is fired and we can trick her out of the convenience store, won't we be able to have a fresh meal?
So although the convenience store rules seem to be threatening them, they are actually a form of protection.
Although the 1% commission is a bit stingy, at least we are in the same camp during working hours.
I can't speak well after get off work.
Unlike her thoughtful look, Tang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she realized the clock was almost 6 o'clock in the morning.
After get off work, you don’t have to face those strange ghosts at night.
Qiao Song, on the other hand, looked serious before leaving get off work.
"How many times a day can you use those skills?"
Tang Xiaoxiao immediately said, "It can be used once every 24 hours, but there are 9 books in total. The better the grade, the stronger the attack power. I haven't used it yet, so I only know the approximate power."
She gestured with her hands and said, "You shouldn't hit people, but it's okay to hit ghosts."
They are worthy of being the flowers of the motherland. What a conscientious metaphor.
Qiao Song nodded, and after confirming that there would be no customers in the convenience store in the last few minutes before the end of the working day, she also used her skills to take out her useless toolbox.
[The temporary worker’s universal toolbox]
[Hey, I detected that the player has changed from a poor guy to a temporary worker with a little money, and the things that can be opened in the toolbox seem to have increased. ]
Qiao Song saw that on this plain toolbox, there was a pull bar that rolled like a soul vending machine. She pressed the switch on the toolbox, and soon the screen started scrolling.
Various tool images flashed by, finally stopping to show a wrench.
[An ordinary wrench may also help you to perform miracles]
[Note: The toolbox does not limit the number of tools that can be stored. The number of uses is refreshed every 24 hours, ten times a day. But if you are unlucky, you will still get screws even if you draw 100 times. Isn't that right?]
Qiao Song really didn't believe it, so he pressed the button ten times in a row, and what he pulled out five times were screws, three times were screwdrivers, and two times were wrenches.
Never mind, something is better than nothing.
Finally, she resigned herself to her fate, picked up the wrench, and pulled Tang Xiaoxiao to the back door of the convenience store before getting off work.
The little girl stood with Aunt Liu, who was busy cleaning the whole night, staring at her in some confusion. Qiao Song, one of the top ten employees who worked diligently all night, was even more vigilant after get off work than during working hours.
Qiao Song talked about the protection scope of convenience stores.
"Although the convenience store said it would only protect us during business hours, as long as we don't step out of the blue and white floor tiles of the convenience store during the day, there shouldn't be any problems for the time being."
But the problem is, throughout the night, they were busy serving wave after wave of guests at the front desk, but what were those two people in the warehouse doing?
Qiao Song gently pushed open the warehouse door with a wrench.
A pungent fishy smell wafted from the dark warehouse.
