Chapter 6 Rules Convenience Store
Qiao Song had a keen nose and could quickly distinguish that this was the smell of formalin.
Who knows why there is formalin in a convenience store?
But when you think about the products that appear on the red shelves, it seems to make sense.
So these things in the warehouse are “special commodities” that have not been processed yet?
Behind her, an old man and a young boy, both heads leaned against her tightly.
In one hand he held a math book, in the other a mop with a metal handle.
It seemed that as long as Qiao Song gave the order, the two of them could immediately take the things out.
As a result, Qiao Song fumbled in the dark room for a while, and finally used a wrench and clicked a button on the wall.
After a few buzzing sounds, incandescent lights in the warehouse lit up one after another.
What appeared before my eyes were large stretches of black shelves, almost every shelf filled with cardboard boxes of all sizes.
At the end of the long row of shelves, there were two human-shaped figures hanging like corpses on the side of a giant bathtub.
Tick-tock.
A few drops of unknown liquid fell from the faucet onto the heads of the two humanoid creatures.
Tang Xiaoxiao was shaking all over almost instantly. Even Aunt Liu couldn't help wondering, "Could something have happened?"
Qiao Song doesn't think so.
It was just after get off work, and employees are protected by convenience store rules during working hours, so how could it end up in such a miserable state?
The three gathered together and gradually approached the giant bathtub under the leadership of Qiao Song.
It's not quite right to call it a bathtub. From a distance it looks like a white ceramic shell, but judging by its shape it should be a very large wash basin.
It should be used to clean goods.
She walked over to the two corpse-like things and pushed them gently with the wrench.
With a click, the two light human skin frames deflated and slid into the bathtub.
Tang Xiaoxiao hid behind Qiao Song trembling with fear. If Qiao Song hadn't patted her hand and reminded her that it was okay, the little girl would probably have dropped the math book in her hand on the spot.
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows: "Is this thing a paper figure?"
It looked like a ghost, much better than the worst human rack she had imagined.
The human skin is as thin as cardboard and will leak if you poke it lightly. And if you look closely, you will find that the broken bone frame is made of bamboo sticks. At first glance, it does look like a human.
Qiao Song looked around and soon found a warehouse management rule posted near the sink.
【Warehouse Management Rules】
[1. During night business hours, goods that have not been put on the shelves cannot leave the warehouse, otherwise the staff on duty will use their own raw materials to replenish the goods]
[2. Please put the products on the shelves during the daytime break. Shelf operations are prohibited at night.]
[3. Please properly distinguish the raw materials on the white shelves from the raw materials on the red shelves. If they are confused, you will be dismissed on the spot and the employee on duty will be replaced with new raw materials.]
[4. During working hours, a courier will pick up goods once every hour. The courier wearing a blue coat can pick up goods on the red shelf. The courier not wearing a blue coat can pick up goods on the white shelf.]
At this moment, she heard some noise coming from the other side of the shelf. As soon as she raised the wrench in her hand, she saw two men with huge dark circles under their eyes, leaning over the shelf and looking over here.
As soon as they saw them, the two of them said as if they were in another world: "It turns out to be you, it seems you are finally off work..."
Qiao Song was shocked. What on earth did these two people do in the warehouse? Why did they become so exhausted?
The middle-aged man named Xin Boyu no longer had his previous neat appearance. His face was extremely pale, his mouth was dry and chapped, his suit was almost turned into pickles, and he was still wearing a pair of waterproof kitchen gloves on his hands.
There were blood stains all over it.
"What are you doing?"
Xin Boyu probably guessed what she was going to ask, so he took a breath and said, "We picked up the goods all night..."
The shorter man next to him, who was slightly older than him, was called Uncle Ma by everyone. He coughed a few times before propping himself up and said, "Let me tell you. He was also dragged into the warehouse last night."
As Uncle Ma said, they worked as coolies in the warehouse for almost the entire terrifying night.
"At first, I was just sorting the goods, but it seemed that this convenience store not only sold goods itself, but also had a large number of express deliveries to be sent out. Soon I was overwhelmed."
Uncle Ma put his head next to the faucet and drank several mouthfuls of water. He did not react at all to the two dead-like paper figures soaking next to the tank.
I even reflexively sorted out the two things and folded them into a square shape, like two pieces of clothing.
"I didn't expect the goods in the warehouse to be so difficult to deal with. I have been a warehouse manager in the real world for 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen goods run away..."
After Xin Boyu entered the warehouse, he immediately studied the warehouse management rules with Lao Ma.
The focus throughout the article is on the raw materials.
But whether in the supermarket or the warehouse at the back, Xin Boyu couldn't find the red shelf, so he chose to sort out the goods on the ordinary shelves with Lao Ma first. After all, the couriers came at fixed times, and they had to prepare in advance.
Not long after, after a beeping sound, a red shelf really rose up in the warehouse.
The red shelves were filled with unprocessed raw materials, hearts, spleens, lungs, and kidneys, like people coming to the warehouse to dance. After the shelves were fully raised, they almost swarmed out as if they were preparing to escape from the convenience store.
Xin Boyu yelled almost reflexively at that time: "Old Ma, don't worry about the express delivery! Come and put these things back!"
He soon discovered that the fully raised shelves could no longer hold the bulk human materials, and that special equipment was needed.
He quickly thought of the place where the warehouse management rules were posted.
That is the eye-catching large white pool in the middle of this group of shelves!
The pool had been filled with pungent preservative liquid at some point, and Xin Boyu immediately realized the real purpose of the liquid in the pool. He quickly asked Lao Ma to catch the escaped goods and throw them into the pool one by one. Only then did those things calm down.
The couriers arrived almost on time, and a group of guys in white coats took away several cartons that had been prepared in advance.
The courier in a blue coat looked at the organs in the pool with an expression that was hard to tell whether he was disappointed or satisfied. Finally, he cast his eyes on Lao Ma and him, and muttered, "The freshness is barely acceptable."
Xin Boyu could feel that if they had not been able to intercept the batch of organs in time, he and Lao Ma might have been turned into commodities and sent away.
Instructing the blue courier to take away several organs from the pool, he registered and then left with a slight regret.
According to Xin Boyu, the reason why he reacts so quickly is due to his passive skill, which can only take effect once a day.
[A fleeting and amazing intuition gained from twenty years of trading experience]
[When facing a great crisis, you can react to the best solution, but the effect time is very short. Please act according to your intuition and do not hesitate. After all, the crisis that can make this skill effective is a fatal crisis. If you hesitate, you will lose and die directly! ]
When Lao Ma thinks about the express deliveries he sent and received last night, his scalp tingles.
He pointed to the large bathtub-like pool in front of him.
"The whole pool was filled with body parts, some real and some paper-made. We could only distinguish the red and white couriers based on whether they were human remains. We ended up dealing with all these things all night. Fortunately, the couriers only came once every hour, otherwise we would be exhausted just sorting them."
In fact, this was also due to Xin Boyu's skill, otherwise they would not only have to do the sorting in the pool that night, but also have to catch the escaped raw materials in every corner of the warehouse, otherwise they would have to use their own parts to fill the gaps.
But perhaps because they had been dealing with these ghost things for a long time, both of them were extremely tired, as if all their energy had been sucked out, and now it was difficult for them to even lift a finger.
Qiao Song thought that working at the front desk was dangerous enough, but he didn't expect that working in the warehouse wasn't much better.
And she found that everyone's profession seemed to correspond to the configuration required by the copy.
For example, these two people in the warehouse are indispensable.
Aunt Liu's cleaning skills can also clean up everything in the convenience store that will affect customers' shopping and prevent ghosts from stealing the convenience store.
On the other hand, if the fault lies with the customer, then the loss of the goods will be borne by the customer himself. Qiao Song took advantage of this to cheat the family of three.
However, how come a convenience store copy just happened to recruit 5 players who met the job vacancies?
The front desk work was relatively simple, as there were only two of them, a high school student and a college student.
"Because the convenience store is a tailor-made novice copy, it is used to deliver supplies."
Xin Boyu is an old player, and he took the initiative to explain: "In Infinite Survival Road, soul coins are the main currency. The player's system mall has almost no goods. In addition to daily dungeons, there are only convenience store dungeons. This kind of building-type dungeon can replenish supplies."
After calming down a bit, he found a place to sit down next to the shelf and explained to the others, "Each dungeon is separated by fog and darkness, and can only be moved by hearses. Generally speaking, people who died in a ground traffic accident will directly take the bus they were on to this world, while people who died for other reasons will directly appear in the convenience store."
There are hundreds of such convenience stores on the entire Infinite Survival Road, and this one at the intersection should be a newly opened one.
That's why he was so sure at that time that Qiao Song, who came in from outside the convenience store, died in a car accident.
Qiao Song, who learned of his own death again: ...
"Are you saying that humans also come to the convenience store to restock their supplies?"
Xin Boyu nodded: "To move between dungeons, you can not only pay to ride in those hearses, but you can also drive yourself. However, not many people can afford to maintain a car. If the passengers in the car do not enter the dungeon, they will have to live in the car, so of course they need supplies."
Living people who go to convenience stores to shop are different from ghosts who go to convenience stores to shop. They all go there with a clear goal of buying daily necessities, so they are easy to distinguish. This leads to the phenomenon that sometimes convenience store ghosts hunt living people.
Qiao Song quickly remembered the last customer he served today.
That person might be a human in disguise, but he held a notebook at the end, what was he writing down?
After a short break, Xin Boyu and Uncle Ma quickly remembered that they still had one last job to do today.
[Warehouse Management Rules 2: Please put the goods on the shelves during the daytime break, and do not put the goods on the shelves at night]
Qiao Song loved her very much.
It's really unethical to continue working after get off work.
The same salary of 210 is not easy to get in the warehouse.
When Xin Boyu and Uncle Ma were carrying things, the other three women would also lend a hand.
After the red shelves were raised yesterday, a large amount of raw materials that fell had actually been sent out via express delivery. Only a small part of them needed to be put on the shelves and sold in convenience stores today.
These broken limbs and arms were soaked in a pool of special formalin for a night before being packed in boxes. They now look like their original parts.
After Uncle Ma operated the only computer in the warehouse, a small transparent frame fell from the ceiling.
After each original human body part is put in, it will suddenly turn into a piece of cardboard, and then expand little by little, turning into a bag of colorful snacks.
The main color is still red, and the corresponding snack name will be automatically matched on the cover.
"Spicy kidneys?"
Qiao Song went to the transparent cabinet and read out the name of the product.
It's quite realistic.
Tang Xiaoxiao's expression was originally sullen, and now her reaction was even stronger: "Sister Qiao Song, please stop talking..."
The spicy pork kidneys that were transformed from spare parts into snacks quickly disappeared along the pipes on the ceiling.
"So this is how snacks on the red shelf are stocked, what about snacks on the white shelf?"
Xin Boyu suddenly looked like he didn't want to attend this class for a single day.
"I have to go to the front and replenish them manually one by one."
After all, those are real daily necessities. Except for some ghosts with special preferences, most of them are bought by human players on the road to survival.
Fortunately, I don’t know if it’s because this convenience store is newly opened, or maybe there are really few ghosts at this intersection, but only a few items were sold yesterday night, and not many needed to be restocked.
The best-selling item turned out to be the perfume in that cart, because it was knocked over.
Xin Boyu also broke into a cold sweat when he heard them mention the family of three who deliberately stole goods from the red shelf.
"The usual trick of these little devils in white is to come to the supply replenishment area to cheat for things. Humans who violate the rules of the copy can be killed directly. This is the consensus of the infinite survival road."
The front desk of this kind of convenience store usually accepts more new customers and they are less vigilant.
Uncle Ma also sighed: "Fortunately you are smart and didn't get fooled by them."
Tang Xiaoxiao thought that not only did they not get cheated, but the three ghosts even compensated one of them, which became their commission.
But now she also understood what Qiao Song meant by taking her to do no-cost business after work.
Xin Boyu felt that Qiao Song's plan was a bit risky. After all, the convenience store rules said that employees' safety would not be protected during off-duty hours. If they encountered ghosts at this time, they could only rely on force to fight.
Qiao Song waved the wrench in his hand.
"It's okay. I just wanted to see what the outside of a convenience store looks like during the day."
By the way, take Tang Xiaoxiao to test the power of the skills.
