Chapter 40 Welfare
The salesperson saw that Wen Le looked upset and quickly explained, "It's like this. A 10,000-word review is definitely harder to write than one of a few hundred or a few thousand words. So we have a standard price. If you exceed a certain number of words, you'll have to pay extra. And since you need it urgently, before tomorrow morning, the author who accepts the order will definitely have to stay up all night to help you write it, so there's also a fee for that."
As he said this, he took out a price list from the side. The prices shown on it were clear at a glance, and it also stated how much extra would be charged for urgent deliveries. This was all transparent and there was nothing to say.
The customers who place orders here are generally students around Wen Le's age, often at a troublemaking age with relatively little pocket money. The salesperson is understanding, as 600 credit points is quite expensive. However, this price was discussed with many parents when they first opened the shop, and a slightly higher price is a way to teach these naughty kids a lesson.
They would have hired someone to write for them anyway, so it was impossible to control this kind of thing. It was better to bring it out in the open so that parents could at least know what was going on. That's why this shop has been able to stay open until now; otherwise, it would have been smashed by angry parents.
Things have come to this, and tomorrow is the final deadline for submission. No matter how reluctant he is, there is nothing he can do. In the end, he can only transfer the money with a painful heart.
As soon as the money arrived, the order was successfully accepted. The salesperson told Wen Le, "Someone has already accepted the order. We promise to send the draft to your personal account before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember to check it then. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can request a revision before 8 o'clock, but after 8 o'clock, no revisions can be made. I hope you understand this."
School starts at 8:00, and this review has already been submitted, so there's no time to revise it. To prevent unreasonable customer behavior, they usually explain this beforehand. After all, their clientele is young, and it's common for them to refuse to pay. However, since they're able to open a shop like this, they'll definitely be able to get their money back eventually. However, to avoid any potential friction, it's best to be upfront.
The salesperson then told Wen Le all the things to pay attention to after accepting the order, and emphasized the precautions such as customers maliciously giving bad reviews and asking for a refund. If the manuscript is really badly written and the customer is not satisfied, this can be resolved through negotiation between the two parties, and the customer can give a bad review.
However, if the customer is obviously being unreasonable and intends to cause trouble maliciously, the stationery store will blacklist the customer. In short, it is best to think carefully before giving a bad review.
In short, Wen Le's head was filled with stuff, and when he went out, his mind was full of good and bad reviews, and he was completely confused.
…
Xu Dongdong looked at him gloatingly and said, "It's like this the first time you come here. You'll get used to it later."
Wen Le: “…”
Is there a future? Let me tell you, there is no future, our friendship is over!
Wen Le felt like he could cry like a 200-pound pig. Spending 600 yuan on a self-criticism made him so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
After leaving the stationery store, Xu Dongdong suggested going shopping. They were free anyway. Wen Le glanced at him and said, "Just the two of us? Come on, what's so good about shopping for two men? Are you willing to carry my bag? If so, let's go."
You can see the things on StarNet but you can't receive them. Many merchants won't accept orders from abandoned StarNet. Wouldn't it be even more frustrating to see that they don't sell the things you want? Why bother yourself with unhappiness?
Xu Dongdong glanced at Wen Le and snorted in pain, "Forget it, you're not a beauty."
However, since he was already on the Star Network, Wen Le simply went to the Healer Association headquarters and made an appointment for a medicinal herb. This service was specifically designed for small, economically underdeveloped planets like theirs, located in remote areas, but it required the therapist to be at least one star, and Wen Le met this requirement.
Because the transportation of medicinal herbs takes time, advance reservations are required to receive them. After the association's internal artificial intelligence system verifies the applicant's identity, the applicant only needs to wait a week to two weeks for the herbs to arrive. At that time, the purchase price will be automatically deducted from the applicant's account. If the applicant is financially struggling, they can use finished medicinal preparations or other valuable items such as minerals to offset the cost. This flexible fee system is designed to facilitate these applicants.
As a beneficiary, Wen Le was quite impressed with the service. These herbs were not only cheaper and safer than those sold on the black market, but he also didn't have to worry about robbing them himself. Furthermore, Wen Le didn't have to worry about seeing something every time he went. Even if he saw something, he couldn't do anything about it. After two visits, he never wanted to go again.
Although his behavior was rather like that of an ostrich, he preferred to turn a blind eye. However, he always asked the system to record the incident as evidence. When he found an opportunity, he would post it on the Star Network forum and let someone with the ability to take care of it.
After filling out the form and waiting for the staff to enter the application into the file, Wen Le received a notification that his application was successful. He was an acquaintance here, having successfully applied twice recently and sold the finished medicines back to the association. Therefore, he had a good reputation and the association would give him priority in shipping.
After their application was successful, Wen Le and Xu Dongdong were about to leave when a staff member stopped them. "Sir," they said, "we've noticed that you've been applying for medicinal herbs a bit too soon lately. We suspect your mental power might be on the verge of upgrading, so the association would like to give you a checkup. If we confirm you're about to upgrade, we'll send you the appropriate mental potion to help you."
The staff member handed over a spreadsheet and said, "If you agree, you can fill out this application form and we will help you enter the information into your file. Don't worry, this is a benefit that all therapists have. You can apply for one or two stars for free until you reach three stars."
It has been clearly stated in the internal forum of this therapist association that it is indeed one of the basic benefits for low-level therapists, so there is no need to worry about them cheating.
But he had the system, and he could level up as long as he reached proficiency, unlike other healers who had difficulty leveling up, so this potion was a bit redundant. He hesitated for a moment, whispering to Xu Dongdong about whether he should go get it. He didn't need it, but maybe Xu Dongdong and the others could?
Xu Dongdong said angrily, "You're stupid. Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future. Go get checked out right away. Opportunities don't wait for you, do they?"
Xu Dongdong was somewhat familiar with the affairs of the Healer Association. Although the forum stated that this was a basic benefit for low-level healers, not many people could actually obtain the Mental Power Potion. The application process alone was tedious and inconvenient. After all, this potion was also useful for ordinary psychics to level up, and the healers who could craft it were all three stars or above. At that level, they basically had their own careers. Who would spend their days crafting this potion for others?
Therefore, this kind of mental power potion is a mandatory task issued by the association. Healers with three stars or above must submit a certain number of finished products every year, otherwise points will be deducted. Therefore, this potion is still very popular.
The fact that the staff proactively reminded Wen Le showed that the Association had a strong interest in him. After all, a ten-year-old two-star healer was quite a headline. Furthermore, Wen Le's "awakening" had only been around for a short time, yet he had leveled up quickly, demonstrating his talent. The Association wanted to maintain its long-term development, so naturally, more talented healers like Wen Le were the better, and so they were prioritized in resources.
After receiving the advice, Wen Le followed the staff to get checked.
This inspection device is a bit like the biological chamber on the market. When a person lies inside, his mental power will be automatically connected. Then Wen Le felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then a bright screen, and a whack-a-mole game screen appeared in front of him.
Wen Le: “…”
He had originally thought that something grand and impressive would appear, but in the end, he was left playing whack-a-mole again...
This, this is a bit embarrassing.
At this time, a soft voice sounded in his ears, telling him the rules of the game, which was to use his mental power to control the hammer to hit the moles, and the more moles he hit, the better.
Wen Le did as he was told. He was familiar with the game, so he waited until the countdown ended and quickly picked up the angry hammer and smashed it at the cartoon version of the mean-looking mole.
The test was completed and the results came out soon. The results showed that Wen Le's mental power level was 1.9, only 0.1 away from upgrading.
The tester congratulated Wen Le and told him to wait at the front desk. Once the results came out, they would automatically receive them there, and the rest would be a matter of following the procedures. There was nothing he could do but wait.
The front desk staff saw Wen Le coming and smiled and congratulated him, which made Wen Le a little embarrassed. Xu Dongdong said in surprise: "Wen Le, you are so good, you are going to be promoted again so soon."
This talent is quite scary, and it hasn't even been half a year.
Wen Le didn't have to wait long. After about five minutes, the receptionist informed him that the Spiritual Power Potion had been collected for him and that he should go to his branch to swipe his card to claim it. If the branch didn't have it in stock, the potion would be delivered along with the herbs. To avoid wasting time, the receptionist advised Wen Le to go claim the potion as soon as he logged off the Star Network. If the potion wasn't available there, he could report it to headquarters.
Wen Le nodded in agreement.
At least he got two bottles of mental power potion for free, which finally gave Wen Le some comfort.
