Chapter 7 Rules Convenience Store
Regarding Qiao Song's adventurous outing, Xin Boyu stammered a few times, but finally said nothing, only asking her to come back early.
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows and looked back at him, then continued to pull Tang Xiaoxiao out.
Generally speaking, after working a whole night shift, people should find a place to rest, but since it is now time to get off work, they must find an absolutely safe place to sleep.
Aunt Liu stayed and explored with the other two people to see if there was any safe space hidden in the convenience store where they could rest.
Qiao Song took Tang Xiaoxiao with him and prepared to go out for some fun during the day.
Although the rules state that convenience stores only protect their employees at night, what happened last night also shows that ghosts generally don't dare to cause trouble directly in convenience stores, and they have to pay the full price for breaking things.
Moreover, Qiao Song felt that judging from the commissions given to them by the convenience store, it seemed that the convenience store itself was also enjoying the benefits of cheating ghosts, which was interesting.
Is the soul vending machine at the door for ghosts or for humans?
Qiao Song has a bold idea about this.
Tang Xiaoxiao: Sister, don’t be too bold, I’m scared.
Tang Xiaoxiao is a high school student, only two or three years younger than Qiao Song. I don’t know why she is so timid.
Qiao Song comforted her: "Don't you want to come out and try out how powerful your skills are? If you smash things in a convenience store, even ghosts can't escape, let alone us. So come out during the day. Even if you encounter danger, you can just throw the book at him. If he dares to chase us, we can run back."
The main idea is that if you want to have fun, go out and have fun. If you want to die, go back to the convenience store and die together.
Tang Xiaoxiao: It seems to make some sense...
So under Qiao Song's repeated brainwashing, she held a thick math book and felt her back straighten a little.
After all, there aren't many opportunities to play whack-a-mole against ghosts, so whatever she does is self-defense.
The convenience store is still open during the day, but the location of the cash register has changed, becoming a self-checkout model like in real-world supermarkets.
Wow, so hiring two sales clerks to work the night shift is really just for the entertainment of the ghosts?
Qiao Song did some research and found that there was really no need for a salesperson. He could just pick up the items and scan the code to pay.
But she soon found out the reason, because it seemed that no ghosts would enter this convenience store during the day.
The wind chimes at the door kept ringing, and after a mechanical welcome, a hooded boy suddenly pushed open the door of the convenience store and quickly picked up items in the convenience store in a doomsday shopping manner.
In less than three minutes, he came to the front desk to check out by himself, carrying a full basket of things.
Although he also saw Qiao Song and Tang Xiaoxiao standing in the convenience store, he had no intention of greeting them and simply treated them as air. He only faced this side when he was checking out and packing, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Qiao Song just kept staring at him without any hesitation.
Most of the items purchased were food and water, which were exactly as Xin Boyu said, and were the supplies that people who live in a car for a long time would buy.
She was a little curious, how to go to the toilet? It can't be that everyone drives an RV, right?
"Excuse me, you usually..."
As soon as she started to speak, the man started to run away with a bag in his hand, as if he had seen a ghost. Qiao Song subconsciously followed him.
Who knew that the man would run as fast as a rabbit. After Qiao Song pushed open the door of the convenience store, there was a vast white fog in front of him. The boy in gray clothes had disappeared.
Dozens of seconds later, not far away, two orange headlights lit up at the platform where Qiao Song remembered he got off last night.
The sound of a car starting was heard, and the orange light quickly disappeared into the fog.
You can’t believe this guy is actually a survival player who can afford his own car.
At this time, Tang Xiaoxiao grabbed the hem of her clothes and pulled it with a little force.
"Sister Qiao Song, there..."
Tang Xiaoxiao's voice was trembling a little. Qiao Song looked in the direction she pointed and saw a group of black humanoid creatures coming towards them.
Qiao Song immediately gripped the wrench tightly, and a minute later, the eagerness in his eyes quickly disappeared.
Because this is truly a group of human beings.
They were just like the young man in gray just now. Each of them wore a hat and looked at the door of the convenience store very vigilantly. They seemed to observe the two of them carefully, and finally decided to avoid the front door and enter the convenience store from the back door.
Qiao Song could clearly tell that these people were shopping for food.
They also purchased large quantities of food and water, but something surprised her. A leader among them actually ran to the counter and swiped a red pass.
Then a red shelf suddenly rose up in the convenience store!
A man and a woman went to the red shelf and started picking out items.
Not only Qiao Song was surprised, but Tang Xiaoxiao was also stunned.
She couldn't judge whether the person opposite her was a human or a ghost based on some subtle habits like Qiao Song did, but when she saw the red shelves rising, she subconsciously thought that they were some ghosts buying special snacks.
Qiao Song quickly covered Tang Xiaoxiao's mouth and hushed her.
Because she found that the goods on the red shelves seemed different from those at night.
Her vision is 5.2, and when she peeked across a shelf, she could actually see the thing clearly.
Disposable item: three-second acceleration card.
Qiao Song supported his neck and read the contents on the card silently, while the woman standing in front of the red shelf turned around as if she had eyes on her back and held the sword in front of her.
"Do you understand the rules? People without a pass cannot touch the products on the red shelves."
Faced with a long knife suddenly appearing in front of him, Qiao Song immediately came out from the shelf and waved his hand.
"We have no ill intentions, we are just curious as to why the red shelves are raised during the day."
The woman in neat black clothes looked her and Tang Xiaoxiao up and down.
"Newbies to the game? Is this the convenience store where you guys go through the novice dungeon?"
Qiao Song restrained his expression and nodded obediently.
When she is not acting like a troublemaker, she is extremely innocent, wearing a simple white T-shirt and a high ponytail. She is accompanied by Tang Xiaoxiao, who is wearing a high school uniform, just like two unlucky girls who have strayed into a game.
The man next to him immediately gave a meaningful smile: "You're quite brave to come out and hang out during the day. Didn't any of the old people in your group tell you this time? It's best to hide in a convenience store during the day."
The woman with the sword in hand frowned and glanced at her companions. After realizing that Qiao Song and the others were newcomers who had passed the convenience store copy, there was not much hostility in her eyes when she turned around to continue confronting Qiao Song and the others.
She asked, "Did you come out on your own initiative?"
Qiao Song heard footsteps coming from behind. The people who were purchasing supplies in the convenience store had surrounded her and Tang Xiaoxiao without her knowing.
The man continued, "The newly developed convenience store will have its own soul vending machine outside. That machine can exchange any living thing for money. If you two walk outside like this and encounter a convoy, won't you be walking soul coins?"
Qiao Song raised the wrench in his hand and said fearlessly: "How can we get more information without taking a risk?"
Although Xin Boyu said that he was an old player, he also concealed a lot of things and did not tell them.
If she hadn't made this trip during the day, how would she have known that the convenience store copy during the day was actually open to humans?
The woman showed a hint of appreciation, as if she didn't care how much the humans in front of her could sell for.
She waved behind her, and the people who had gathered around her quickly left with their supplies, as if they were in a hurry and were ready to settle the bill and leave immediately.
"The red shelf can be raised because of the pass issued by the Ghost Alliance. If any of you have worked as a salesperson on the night shift, you should know this."
Tang Xiaoxiao immediately nodded like a good student.
The woman was amused by her appearance and continued, "The red shelves at night are high-end goods consumed by ghosts. The ones that rise during the day are high-end goods needed by the human group, that is, prop cards."
"But people without a pass can't touch this thing. It's not like at night, when those ghosts can take advantage of the shelves being open and steal things from them to settle accounts."
The woman picked up a card with a picture of a pair of shoes on it from the shelf and waved her hand.
"If you don't believe me, do you want to come over and try?"
Qiao Song is just brave, that doesn't mean he is stupid.
She hasn't even completed a single copy, so there's no need for her to covet the so-called item card now.
All the existing information showed that there was no need for this woman to lie to her. On the contrary, she provided some very useful intelligence.
Seeing that she was still rational, the woman showed admiration.
"Since you are still going through the dungeon, don't leave the convenience store during the day. It's just as dangerous during the day as at night. Running around can really get you killed."
The woman picked up a few cards from the shelf, walked to the counter, swiped her pass, paid, and left the convenience store with a large group of people.
Before leaving, Qiao Song saw them get on a bus together.
This time she finally saw clearly that there was a huge skull logo printed on the front of the bus, with the words "Ghost Alliance" written next to it.
It seems that the vehicles that can travel in the fog may have been stamped by the Ghost Alliance, and the red pass cards for consumption supplies in the copy also have the logo of the Ghost Alliance.
Just as Tang Xiaoxiao was about to pull Qiao Song's clothes and ask her when she would return to the convenience store, Qiao Song grabbed her and said, "Hold the math book tight."
I don't know when the third car came to the corner of the street. It was the same bus, but small and broken. This time, only three or four people got off the bus.
Unlike his previous relaxed state, this time Qiao Song took Tang Xiaoxiao and retreated to the employee passage.
"If you notice something is wrong later, can you just hit someone with the book?"
Tang Xiaoxiao's voice trembled: "Smash, smash people?"
Didn’t you say it was to smash ghosts?
Qiao Song seemed to know what she was going to ask and quickly analyzed the situation:
"During the day, the number of ghosts on the Infinite Highway should be quite low. There will be more humans at this time. When we go out during the day, the greatest danger we face should come from humans."
The danger at night comes from ghosts, and the danger during the day comes from people.
No wonder the convenience store said it would only protect its employees during working hours. The store is full of customers during the day and they cannot treat everyone equally.
Qiao Song thought about all this in her mind, but she did not relax her vigilance. She took the wrench and got into the shadow of the door, and soon saw the people in the distance approaching.
"Remember, you can hit people and buildings outside later, but don't touch the things in the convenience store."
Tang Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and squatted in the corner for the first time in her life, staring at the blue and white tiles that marked the boundary between the convenience store and the road.
Qiao Song comforted her: "Don't worry, if they don't have evil intentions, we won't touch them."
As soon as she heard these words, Tang Xiaoxiao felt Qiao Song in front of her jump out.
Tang Xiaoxiao:!
Sister, don't be so reckless!
