Chapter 167 Spending money can relieve stress



The sky was clear and the sun was just rising.

Even though Cheng Shuang had lost her sense of time, the extra truffles and beef burgers in the space clearly told her that another day had passed.

The town streets were nearly deserted. The little girl pushed her shared bicycle, munching on a hamburger as she walked towards the school. Occasionally, she would look back; the abandoned school in the distance was shrouded in the morning mist, receding into the distance until it was hidden by the tall trees lining both sides of the road as she reached the corner.

Cheng Shuang snapped out of her daze, finished the warm hamburger patty in a few bites, and then took out a carton of milk from her backpack and started drinking it.

Even when there's no one on the street, there are still surveillance cameras, so the little girl is on guard!

Unfortunately, the hamburger drop skill was not available this time.

She wiped her hands with a tissue, then slowly rode her bike, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

Blue skies and white clouds, no ghosts, life is so wonderful!

The little girl calmly passed by the school and went straight to the bustling commercial street next door.

Most of the shops on both sides of the road had just opened for business. Cheng Shuang returned the car and decisively went into a mobile phone shop.

The shop assistant seemed a bit listless, perhaps not expecting customers to be shopping at this hour, so he kept his head down playing games until he heard a sweet, soft voice calling out, at which point he looked up.

"Uncle, do you have a charger?"

"What model of phone?" It's not unusual for kids to have phones these days, so the clerk wasn't surprised and got up to lead the person to the charger counter.

Cheng Shuang wasn't sure if the mobile phone brands in this world were compatible with hers, so she first leaned over the counter to observe them. She found that the charging ports of several chargers were basically the same before taking out her phone.

The salesperson glanced at it and muttered, "Where did this no-name brand come from? The screen, however, is quite good."

The little girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was good, because even though she and her sister were using phones that their parents had outgrown, they were still thinner than the large color screen models from 2015.

Fortunately, the shop assistant didn't say much. He took out a universal charger and two wired chargers from the counter and placed them on the glass partition. "Try them out. I can't say for sure which one will work for your phone."

She naturally wouldn't refuse.

After some attempts, both the wired charger and the universal charger were able to charge her phone, which made the shop assistant even more certain that the girl had a no-name brand phone.

Cheng Shuang finally felt at ease and bought ten universal chargers, two wired chargers, one wired charger of each type, one other type of wired charger, and ten rechargeable batteries.

The ratio of 1 point to 100 yuan remains unchanged, and these items cost 15 points.

While the clerk went to the back storage room to prepare the goods, she took out 'A Call from Time' and quickly used transparent tape to stick several strips of torn paper together and attach them to the missing pages of the book, but nothing happened.

The little girl wasn't disappointed. She put away the box of chargers and went to the pharmacy.

I bought some commonly used medicines from the list of medicines available to everyone at the rest stop, and wound medicine and gauze were especially essential.

Fearing that buying too much would arouse suspicion, she only bought five boxes of each item, including ten portions each of fever reducers, alcohol, and iodine.

The amount on the receipt can be converted into 30 points.

In addition to the prescriptions, each of them also had a size chart, which included all sizes, including shoes.

Prices in the town are not expensive; clothes and daily necessities are extremely cheap. However, the shops offer a limited variety of goods and are scattered throughout the town. Supermarkets, on the other hand, offer a wide selection of discounted items.

Compared to shops that require time to choose, Cheng Shuang chose the supermarket without hesitation.

She first found a locker in the supermarket, pretending to put her personal items, such as medicine, inside. In reality, she retracted the locker when she closed the door. Then she went to the bathroom to wash her face and rinse her mouth to clear her head completely before heading straight to the clothing section to choose clothes.

Two sets of summer clothes, two sets of winter clothes, two pairs of shoes, and three sets of underwear, all in comfortable sportswear styles. To prevent other maintainers from recognizing them as a rest station, the six of them each had their own style, ensuring there was absolutely no chance of anyone wearing the same clothes, including brands.

Before leaving, Cheng Shuang couldn't resist picking up a pretty apricot-colored dress adorned with colorful butterflies. She compared it to herself in the mirror. The dress resembled a modernized Hanfu, with its flowing tulle giving it an ethereal feel. The vain girl couldn't resist and also picked out a pair of white leather shoes, making an impulsive purchase.

These cost 25 points.

Keep the receipts safe and report the expenses when you get back. We've all agreed that the medicine will be paid for through the company account, with each person contributing 5 points out of every 30 points. Other items will be purchased on behalf of the company, and we'll pay whatever it costs.

The Land of Death uses up too many clothes, so it doesn't matter if you buy duplicates with other people, you'll always find a use for them eventually.

Cheng Shuang carried two large bags and repeated the steps of the supermarket lockers, putting everything into her storage space. Anyway, the supermarket would empty the lockers after get off work in the evening, and she might have already left by then.

Shopping can be addictive for women and can easily lower their intelligence, but it is also a great way to relieve stress. The young woman, who had relaxed by shopping, almost went to a restaurant to get some hot food to take home. Fortunately, she restrained herself because she had more important things to do.

As she left the shopping street and headed towards the school, several school buses stopped at the school gate, and a boy ran towards her enthusiastically, waving as he went.

Cheng Shuang looked over and saw that it was Guo Yang, the squad leader.

She pursed her lips, looked at the young man who was covered in a fine sweat, and listened to his joking complaint, "Why are you late? We have to leave at nine!"

"Where to?" Cheng Shuang asked in surprise.

"Didn't your teacher tell you? We're going on a picnic to Baiyun Mountain!"
