Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Luo Qing's Daily Life
After understanding the core of this copy, Miao Ling felt that she was able to do it again!
At the same time, she felt a little silly.
Miao Ling felt a little embarrassed when she recalled that the feeling of near-death she felt during the shadow puppetry experience was largely caused by herself.
How could she not control her wandering thoughts?
And when it came to those snack stalls... Miao Ling now thinks that her imagination was a little too rich.
Stop, stop my brain!
After getting the answer and looking back at the previous process of solving the problem, Miao Ling felt sad for herself.
But she had to admit, she found it difficult for any player to avoid falling into such a thinking trap.
Every player who is pulled into the dungeon is afraid and nervous, not knowing where the dungeon's hidden killer moves are, and has a strong "paranoia".
This copy is exactly based on this point. The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen, and it will hit the player's weak spot directly. It is simply too scary.
Thinking of this, Miao Ling sighed deeply.
This "Temple Fair in Progress" copy seems to be harmless in itself, but once players' fear and imagination are aroused and they cannot control their thoughts, it will become really dangerous.
Moreover, you may be able to control your own thoughts, but you cannot control other people!
It was obvious that the group of players walking on stilts turned the stilts under their feet into the "sharp knives" she saw due to the combined effect of everyone's thinking.
Even though Miao Ling told the core of this dungeon now, the six players believed it, and the injuries on their feet did not change.
Because they were sure that they had stepped on a knife, and that the sharp knife had caused a wound, all the players bandaged the wound, thus completing a logical closed loop.
Miao Ling sent these uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers to the exit of the temple fair. After watching them leave the copy, she returned to the temple fair area.
She opened the map again and began to think about what she should do.
Now that she knew the key to this copy was "thinking", Miao Ling only needed to control herself, watch a few more performances, eat more snacks, and even experience it a few more times, making reasonable plans to get herself a better clearance rating.
Although she suspected that the long-haired beauty was the recently hotly discussed "Luo Qing" in the forum, it was not easy to find someone just by saying so.
Now, I still have to work hard for my clearance rating, and help other players by the way.
Miao Ling continued to run to the snack stand. She had just seen off six players. Each of them gave her three regular-priced ghost coins for chicken fillets, mushrooms, and octopus balls.
For Miao Ling, it was like earning the difference by running errands, and she wanted to continue trying other snacks.

Luo Qing and Shang Qingyun were strolling around the market. The stalls were of different sizes. Some were set up on small carts, while others were set up on the ground with a cloth spread out on the ground with various things placed on it.
In addition to those who set up stalls to sell things, there are also people who tell fortunes, shake lots, and draw tarot cards!
"Wow, this is quite lively." Luo Qing looked at the many people queuing there.
"I feel like most of them are just here to join in the fun. I wonder if they have any shills." Shang Qingyun said.
Since the two of them had nothing to do, they ran over to watch the fun nearby.
This is a stall with a sign that says "Fortune Telling for You". A man wearing a melon-shaped hat and a mandarin jacket is sitting behind a table. He has an eye patch on one eye, and it's unclear whether he is really blind or just pretending.
At this moment, there was a young man sitting opposite the fortune teller.
"Young man, I see that your brows are tense, your forehead is slightly dark, your face is sallow, and you lack energy."
"I can tell you often stay up late, so your energy and blood are very insufficient. You must be tormented by something recently. You must be extra careful today, as you may encounter a bloody disaster." The half-blind man tapped the table with a folding fan in his hand.
Luo Qing couldn't help but twitch her lips as she listened to this. It felt like none of these words made any sense. There was no clarification of past events, and no technicalities used. It felt like this half-blind guy hadn't learned anything for two days and was already scamming people out there.
This fortune teller's skills are not good enough, I'm afraid he can't fool many people.
"Master, can you calculate when this bloody disaster will happen?" asked the young man.
"Oh, as the saying goes, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. My skills are not that profound yet, so it doesn't count, it doesn't count." Banxia said while stroking his fake beard.
The young man left disappointed, and the next person who wanted a fortune telling came forward and stretched out two tentacles to ask for a palm reading.
"From what I heard, there is not a single truth in it. They are all nonsense." Shang Qingyun shook his head.
"There's not even a backup arranged. There's no dramatic effect at all." Luo Qing couldn't help but complain. She thought she would see a scene where a master was so accurate that he said, "My whole family is in trouble today. Please find a solution quickly."
After waiting here for a long time, this is it? It's really disappointing.
In addition to fortune tellers, there were also vendors selling medicines, cockroach poison, rat poison, and plasters with secret family recipes. This made Luo Qing feel that the organizers of the temple fair probably didn't screen the stalls at all.
"However, traditional temple fairs seem to be like this, with everything." Luo Qing thought about it.
They passed by a stall selling children's toys, a stall selling beaded bracelets, ten yuan a string with a large number of tourists browsing, and a stall selling fake jade bracelets...
Of course, they also saw some exquisite handicrafts, but after looking at them for a long time, they still didn't buy anything.
"My mentality is really different now. Before, when I went out, I always thought that since I was already here, I might as well buy some souvenirs or something. But they were useless when I got home and I would just throw them away. Now, the things in my hotel dormitory can really be counted by number." Shang Qingyun said.
Luo Qing agreed very much. "In the past, I bought things because they were cheap, but when I got home, I found that they were useless. Even if they were cheap, it was still a waste of money, so I just didn't buy them."
The things we use in daily life at home are fixed. Buying some small gadgets outside is purely to provide emotional value. When you bring them home, they either take up space or gather dust in the corner.
However, having said that, Luo Qing still stopped in front of a stall.
This was a stall selling handmade keychains, each priced at 5 Gui coins. Luo Qing saw keychains with square buildings in them, each with a different building number marked on it, ranging from 1 to 20.
The material is stainless steel, and the pattern of the small building should be laser engraved. Considering Luo Qing's own experience in reselling and setting up stalls, the price of 5 strange coins each is definitely a huge profit.
This thing can produce a lot of goods at a time, and you can still make a profit even if you sell it for 2 ghost coins!
"Why? Do you want to buy a keychain? For use in the store?" Shang Qingyun asked her.
"I think this is pretty good. It can be used in the store or given as a gift." Luo Qing said.
"Hello, how many of these key chains are there? How much discount can I get if the quantity is large?" she asked casually.
"Then it depends on how much you want. Let me know how much you want." The stall owner did not give a direct quote. After all, there were people coming and going, and the price tag was still on it, so it was not convenient to talk loudly.
Soon, Luo Qing used her superb bargaining skills to buy all the goods on the stall, a total of 320 key chains. She finally lowered the price of each key chain to 2 yuan, and the stall owner said he would never lower the price.
On a whim, they cleared out a stall, and Shang Qingyun helped her carry the big bag, and the two of them simply prepared to leave.
Now that you have seen, shopped, eaten and bought things at the temple fair, it is time to start your next trip.
After throwing Bao Yuan's keychain into the trunk, Luo Qing clapped his hands and looked at his friend: "Where else do you want to go?"
It's only one o'clock in the afternoon, so there's plenty of time to play.
"Luo'er, are you tired? If you are tired, let's find a place to sit down and rest for a while." Shang Qingyun looked at Luo Qing.
"I'm fine. I've been working part-time lately and I've been away all day. This is just the beginning." Luo Qing smiled. From his friend's words, he knew that he was worried about his physical strength.
"And you?"
"I walk 18,000 steps every day at the hotel, but I only walk a fraction of that during the temple fair. Okay, didn't you say you wanted to consider changing to a few daily rental rooms? You need to look at the linens, so I'll go with you to choose."
"Let me drive. I rarely have the chance to drive in the hotel. If I don't practice, I'll lose my driving skills." Shang Qingyun said.
I visited the temple fair in the morning and continued shopping in the afternoon. The park of the Shehuo Temple Fair is quite far away from the city center of Guicheng. There were many cars going out at this time, and it was congested for a while. It took me 40 minutes to drive to the Sasa hypermarket.
The first thing Luo Qing and Shang Qingyun did when they arrived at the hypermarket was to buy a cup of fruit tea each, and then push the shopping cart and stroll around slowly.
"Luo'er, there aren't many tourists visiting the old town. Why do you want to rent it out for the day?"
"I don't plan to make any major changes. There are quite a few outsiders here recently. I see that they seem to want to try staying here for a night and then book a room after experiencing it, so I'm thinking of changing a few rooms. There aren't many hotels in the old town, so if I change a few of them into daily rental B&Bs, if someone wants to stay there, there will definitely be an advantage in terms of price. Anyway, the house will be left there anyway, and no one will live in it otherwise," said Luo Qing.
Shang Qingyun nodded when he heard this. "That's right. The plumbing, electricity, and furniture are all ready-made. You can just add some soft furnishings and bedding. The cost is low."
This is what Luo Qing thought. She has been very well off recently and does not plan to do any advanced modifications. She just wants to add some daily necessities and make a few houses presentable and habitable.
"Hello customer, welcome to the home textile area——"
The guy in the hypermarket apron gave the two of them a firm bow, which startled them.
"Wow, this is such a big gift. It's not worth it." Luo Qing said while looking at the young man.
"Hello to you too." Shang Qingyun was also happy. He bowed and spoke so loudly. It was obvious that he was a new shopping guide who had not been deeply exhausted by the job.
The two pushed the shopping cart forward, and Duan Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the copy prompt.
Don’t be a silent shopping guide; say hello and get customer responses (7/10)
Finally, I received 7 responses. The Sasa Hypermarket copy has strict assessment requirements, and various regulations change frequently.
As a worker, you need to greet every customer warmly and get a response from the customer to prove that you are "working effectively" rather than just giving a perfunctory welcome.
Duan Liang was speechless when he saw the requirements of this copy. He really tried hard to greet every customer, but these weird people and natives ignored him as if they didn't see him.
Of course, in real life, when Duan Liang goes to a store or a restaurant and hears loud greetings, he would want to pretend not to hear or leave quickly, for fear of being disturbed the next moment.
But now he is in the dungeon, Duan Liang just feels that he is suffering, his heart is miserable, it is really hard to be a worker.
Fortunately, he quickly thought of a solution. If he just said hello, it would be easy to be ignored. Duan Liang added some actions to himself: one bow, two waves, and three smiles.
If you suddenly see someone performing such a great courtesy, you will have to react even if you are scared!
Sure enough, Duan Liang's trick worked.
However, there are not many customers coming to this textile area, and Duan Liang is still short of responses from three customers. He is full of fighting spirit.
"Hello customer, welcome to the home textile section of Sasa Hypermarket!"
Luo Qing and Shang Qingyun were looking at pillows. Shang Qingyun was pointing at different signs and explaining to her, "The standard pillows provided in a king-size bed room are four. Two high, two low, two soft, two firm. Our hotel's most distinctive bedding is the memory foam pillow. We can also provide latex pillows, down pillows, and buckwheat pillows upon request."
As Shang Qingyun spoke, Luo Qing felt as if she was in a hotel listening to a lecture, and the smiles on her friends' faces had become standard patterns.
"Stop!" Luo Qing interrupted quickly.
"Qingyun, just tell me which one is more cost-effective and which one do hotel guests usually prefer?"
"It's a memory pillow, but the hotel's is a specially customized one. I think the price of similar substitutes here in the store still has room to go down. If you want the same one as the hotel, I can find the manufacturer for you." Shang Qingyun said.
"I'm a small shop, and I only need a few pieces. There's no need to look for the manufacturer." Luo Qing shook her head. She planned to buy everything she could here, as long as the price and quality were acceptable.
As they talked, they quickly chose a pillow. Luo Qing directly picked up six and filled the shopping cart in one go.
"You also need to buy four sets and bedding. Should I go and push a cart?" Shang Qingyun asked.
"No, let's continue looking. Let's buy pillows first today and take a look at the four-piece bedding set. We'll buy it when Yan Fufeng gets off work. Otherwise, it will be tiring for the two of us to push several shopping carts." When she is with her friends, Luo Qing often calls her husband by his first name.
"That's right, I won't do hard labor for you anymore." Shang Qingyun smiled.
The two were looking at the count of the four-piece set when they heard a loud voice saying, "What do you two customers need? We are happy to serve you."
It's that apron guy again.
Duan Liang had completed his "greeting" mission, but he still had sales targets to meet. He wandered the home textile display area, looking for customers. But he wasn't the only sales assistant there; there were also locals. Finally seeing someone, he rushed over.
What a coincidence, this was the customer I just greeted not long ago!
Moreover, Duan Liang noticed that these two beautiful customers had already put pillows in their shopping carts. They really wanted to buy something, not just customers who were just browsing!
"Hello, two customers. What kind of bedding are you interested in? Tencel? Indian cotton? Washed cotton? Double-layer yarn? It's late spring or early summer now, so you can take a look at mulberry silk in advance. The mulberry silk bedding in our store is all produced in Xiaosang Village, and the quality is very guaranteed." Duan Liang recited a paragraph of words in one breath.
In fact, he himself can't even tell the difference between pure cotton and artificial cotton in real life.
"Where is the pure cotton one?" Luo Qing asked.
If you want to use it for daily rental, you certainly can't use something too expensive, but you can't use something too cheap either. After much thought, solid-color cotton is more suitable and can be used all year round.
"Over here, please follow me." Duan Liang said with a smile.
"Are we moving to a new house? There are a lot of things to buy."
"No, just take a look first." Luo Qing said casually.
Duan Liang felt a heavy blow. No, not buying? Just coming to take a look? This beautiful woman didn't seem to like overly proactive shopping guides. She was a bit cold.
After taking the people to the pure cotton bedding display area, Duan Liang decisively shut up and said nothing. He just stayed not far from the two customers, waiting to be called at any time to prevent being intercepted by other shopping guides.
"This small floral pattern is very pretty. The count of 100 should be enough." Luo Qing touched the fabric.
"But you have to consider the decoration of those rooms. This two-color pure color is safer." Shang Qingyun suggested.
The two of them looked at colors, studied counts, and pondered over fabrics and patterns. Finally, Luo Qing decided to ask for opinions from outside the venue.
She saw the shopping guide in an apron standing nearby and waved, "That guy."
Duan Liang was delighted. He had finally waited for something. Did he want to ask for a discount?
"Here I am, customer, what do you need?"
"Hey man, if you were to stay in a B&B, which type of bedding do you think would be suitable?" Luo Qing asked.
"Ah?" Duan Liang was stunned. This question was completely beyond his expectations.
"I might like this better." He pointed to the bedding with light blue and dark blue on the front and back.
Thinking of the guesthouse the customer was asking about, although he still didn't know that the natives in this instance actually ran a guesthouse, Duan Liang took the initiative and continued, "If you need to purchase in bulk, I can help you apply for a discount and even deliver to your door."
"Thank you." Luo Qing thanked him and touched his chin.
"Solid colors are better after all. I'll buy a set of these floral prints and try them out at home to see how they feel when I sleep."
Shang Qingyun burst into laughter at her excuse, "You just want to buy this small floral print. Okay, buy it home and wash it in water and try it out, so you don't buy too much and get into trouble."
Luo Qing chuckled, "Brother, could you please help me find a new set of this floral pattern for my 1.8-meter-long bed, and I want the fitted sheet."
"Okay! I'll find it for you right away." Duan Liang responded decisively!
I only took one set out of the four-piece set for now and put it on the shopping cart, which immediately added a little height.
"Are you going to open a B&B? Where is it?" Duan Liang asked again, fearing that this was another newly added copy.
"It hasn't opened yet. We just plan to offer daily rentals. I'm a real estate agent." Luo Qing thought the young man was in a hurry to solicit business again, so he started to explain.
Real estate agent?! Duan Liang was stunned again.
The contents of several posts on the Rugui forum emerged in his mind.
"There are multiple instances near Ping'an Home Community. Within two kilometers there's a Sasa hypermarket and the Seventh Middle School..."
"Based on our current exploration of Ghost City, the only known [Real Estate] that can rent out properties to players and process [Ghost City Temporary Residents] after signing a contract is [Ping An Real Estate], and it's under the sole responsibility of its owner, Luo Qing."
The posts about this mysterious aboriginal [Luo Qing] made him seem even more divine.
"Agent? I know there's a Ping An Real Estate nearby, but I haven't been there yet." Duan Liang said casually.
"Huh?!" Luo Qing couldn't help but look at the guy.
"You also know Ping An Real Estate?"
Could it be that his store's reputation had become so great? It didn't seem strange, though, as Sasa Supermarket was quite close to Ping An Home.
"Yes, I heard about it from my friends. I've always wanted to go and see the house, but I haven't had the time. Could you be the agent for this house?" Duan Liang knew it in his heart, but still pretended not to know.
"What a coincidence." Luo Qing smiled.
"Then you are welcome to come and see the house when you are free. Here is my business card with the address and phone number on it. It's very close."
"Okay, okay, thank you. I will definitely go when I have time." Duan Liang was so happy when he got the legendary business card.
Opportunities come to those who are prepared! Hahahaha!
Knowing that the person in front of him was Luo Qing, he became even more enthusiastic and considerate, leading him all the way to complete the checkout. If he hadn't been unable to leave the copy before getting off work, Duan Liang would even have wanted to help deliver the goods!
"Luo'er, your business is getting more and more prosperous. Even a salesperson knows Ping An Real Estate." Shang Qingyun joked after loading the pillows and four-piece sets into the car and returning to the passenger seat.
"Oh, I don't know how my tenant, Xiao Liu, promoted it. They must be lucky." Luo Qing said.
After driving to Ping'an Home, Shang Qingyun helped Luo Qing move the things they bought today back home. They first threw them into the second bedroom, and then simply ate snacks and watched a movie in the living room.
It was not until Yan Fufeng got off work that night that Luo Qing drove to pick up her husband with her friends, found a restaurant for a big meal, and then sent him back home.
The day's schedule was too full, and by the time his lover drove home, Luo Qing had finished taking a shower and fell on the bed. He didn't want to move and fell asleep quickly.
At the same time in the real world, [Rugui] forum.
"I met Luo Qing, a local in the dungeon [Temple Fair in Progress], and she directly revealed the core of the dungeon."
Ahhhhh, I met the legendary Luo Qing while working at Sasa Hypermarket and got her business card!
The posting dates of these two posts were both on the same day, and the posting times were extremely close, which made the players who saw the posts stunned.
I originally thought that the first one [Temple Fair in Progress] was suspected to be fake, but when comparing the contents of the two posts, the [Luo Qing] described by the two posters had the same clothes and hairstyle, and the details of the short-haired indigenous people beside her were also the same.
Such a special native suddenly appeared in two copies on the same day, which immediately aroused discussion among players.
[So, how did Luo Qing suddenly appear in two instances? Didn't she say she was a part-timer before?]
Luo Qing is a tourist at the temple fair and a customer at Sasa Hypermarket, not a guiding NPC. So, is this considered a normal day in the life of an indigenous person?
Native Luo Qing: "A temple fair in the morning, a mall in the afternoon—a joyful day." The miserable players: "The temple fair is killing me, the mall is a death warrant, a day that could end at any moment." Same world, different joys and sorrows. Ugh!
