The saying goes, "If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate."
This statement is also perfectly embodied in the character of the Line Man.
Upon hearing the customer shout that he was going to complain, the two waiters immediately panicked, offering a formal apology while simultaneously fixing the sign.
The waiters' attitude changed dramatically. Seeing them bowing respectfully and speaking softly to him, the customer felt satisfied.
There is no loss for it; making things difficult for the waiter is just a way to get rid of the psychological burden of hurting others.
"Alright, alright, just be more careful next time." It waved its hand dismissively, feigning magnanimity.
“Yes, we’ll be more careful next time. Our time is precious too. Our teacher always says that wasting time is wasting money. Don’t you agree, Uncle?” Cheng Shuang said innocently, with a childlike expression.
The customer's eyes darted around quickly, as if he had just thought of something. He took a step closer to one of the waiters and said fiercely, "Even a child understands this principle, don't you understand it? Shouldn't you compensate us for the harm done to our customers?"
"Oh? Yes, brother, you're so thoughtful. We've wasted the whole afternoon here!" Hei Zishan immediately chimed in.
Lie Fu nodded a few times in agreement, "We wouldn't have thought of these things if it weren't for you!"
The little girl's big eyes immediately sparkled with admiration.
Du Jun... Du Jun watched with a blank expression as his friends put on their dramatic performances.
The customer, head held high, said, "I won't make things difficult for you. If you make a mistake, correct it and provide adequate compensation. I can consider the complaint!"
The waiter's eyes darted around excitedly, but he ultimately succumbed to the customer's greed and reluctantly pulled out five discount coupons, which stated that all items (including food, drinks, beverages, etc., but excluding special offer items) were 20% off.
Seeing that Cheng Shuang and her group of four didn't reach out, and the waiter hesitated to offer any discounts, the customer with raised eyebrows snatched the discount coupons, examined them carefully, and then smiled, waving them back to the waiter.
The waiter's face was puffed up like a pufferfish, but worried about the risk of being complained about, he could only leave quietly, and couldn't even keep up a smile after turning his back.
Cheng Shuang noticed that one of the waiters walked to the terrace entrance and was about to check the electronic book. She remembered that the electronic book in the buffet restaurant was used to register guests' room numbers.
She quickly tugged at Du Jun. Clearly, Hei Zishan and Lie Fu had also noticed the waiter's actions. Lie Fu hurriedly smiled and said to the customer, "Brother, next time if you need anything, just ask the waiter. Look how much trouble we caused today. It's mainly because we feel bad that others have to suffer!"
"What you said is absolutely right, young man!" The customer who had been clutching the scroll, not wanting to share it with anyone else, immediately handed it over, three embarrassed vertical lines appearing on his forehead, apparently realizing his mistake.
The four of them grabbed the scrolls and quickly retreated, not even bothering with the mechanical voices echoing in their minds.
They felt no remorse for profiting from the deaths of people in the pool; they had taken a risk to get the discount coupons. Who knew what trouble it might cause if the staff held a grudge?
But neither Lie Fu nor Du Jun, these two clever teenagers, ever regretted it. After all, fortune favors the bold, and while the Line People could use loopholes in the rules to harm them, they could also take advantage of the situation.
Because the guests had drawn so much hatred, the waiter didn't pay any attention to the four people's movements. Once they were off the terrace, Lie Fu breathed a sigh of relief and gave Cheng Shuang an admiring smile, "Little smarty, good observation skills!" Moreover, he didn't talk much, but he always got straight to the point when he spoke.
Cheng Shuang scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed, "I was afraid my brothers would blame me for being nosy!"
Kuroko laughed heartily and ruffled the top of her hair.
Du Jun's pupils contracted as he glanced at the rosy-cheeked, happy-looking girl, lost in thought.
“It’s getting late, let’s all go back to our rooms and rest. See you at the banquet?” Lie Fu glanced at the clock above his head. The hour hand pointed to five. The welcome banquet would start at 6:30. “It would be best to arrive at the first-floor hall at 6:00. Arrive a little early in case of any unforeseen circumstances.”
The sensible girl immediately understood Lie Fu's subtext and promptly said goodbye to the three of them.
Kuroko suggested, "Why don't we send the child back first?"
Du Jun: "I'll take her!"
“Alright then.” Kuroko didn’t refuse, and the two waved and walked deeper into the corridor.
Cheng Shuang was on the sixth floor, which was conveniently accessible via the stairs. Du Jun mainly wanted to familiarize himself with the doors. He glanced at the location of room A6058, his almond-shaped eyes slightly raised in inquiry, "Do you know who lives on either side of you?"
The young girl shook her head as she pressed her fingerprint, "Never encountered one." She pushed open the door, let the guest in first, and after confirming the door was locked, suddenly asked, "Young man, do you think the skeletal figures have fingerprints? If not, how do they open the door?"
"Use the card!"
Du Jun checked the room and, finding the facilities to be adequate and nothing particularly noteworthy, turned and said succinctly, "Move the chair to the door tonight and hang a cup on the doorknob."
As if afraid the little girl would be frightened, he added, "With this little alarm device, you can sleep more soundly."
"Okay, I understand, thank you!" Cheng Shuang carefully noted it down. If someone could enter the house without fingerprints, the danger during the night would increase.
Du Jun took out a card, his tone somewhat surprised, "The discount coupon has turned into a special card."
Cheng Shuang immediately took her own scroll and, seeing the content displayed on it, exclaimed in surprise, "Was the mechanical voice earlier a reminder of this change?"
[20% discount card for employees of the Tissopono:]
Don't underestimate my discount! This is a discount card based on the internal employee price! You can buy whatever you want with it, but it can only be used once per cycle gate.
Note: After using my service, discounted items in the store will have to be purchased at the original price!
"Hey bro, do you think there might be any other special cards on the ship?"
"It's hard to say. Kuroko once inadvertently revealed that not all maintainers have spatial compartments." Du Jun solemnly warned, "Even if spatial compartments cannot be seized, it's only without using special skills or special cards, so it's best to be cautious."
Cheng Shuang knew the seriousness of the matter and obediently nodded. She then mentioned her speculation about the level of the line figures to him. The two of them sorted out the fragmented information, and finally the topic came up with the ticket title prompt.
If we define it by 'rules', then isn't 'drifting with the current' also a kind of rule?
Thinking about it this way, there's a high chance something will happen to the cruise ship.
Drifting on the high seas is no fun. Putting aside unexpected situations such as temperature and weather, even ferocious sea monsters are enough to give them a hard time.
