Chapter 045 Every Family Goes to the Supermarket (Part 2)
"You, I——" Hao Fang was startled.
Is this minotaur in front of me D-059?
Her mouth opened wide, and she was too shocked to speak.
"you--"
This is not a good place to talk. Bai Tao bent down to interrupt her and led the way: "Sir, please come this way."
After saying that, Bai Tao turned and left. Hao Fang took a deep breath and quickly followed.
She looked at D-059's back inquiringly. This was completely different from the image of a human girl described in the archives. A monster that could transform?
——She, oh no, has become him, he is like a different person.
She had envisioned meeting D-059 many times.
The current situation is different from all expectations.
D-059 has a different disguise, and the file needs to be updated.
They received information that D-059 was the courier.
The supermarket doesn't welcome couriers, so D-059 disguised himself?
Things have changed, she thought.
She couldn't see through the disguise and see what D-059 was thinking, so facial observation was useless.
I wonder if D-059 can destroy the supermarket.
The employees' eyes are on the customers and they don't suspect their colleagues at all.
With the help of her identity as a shopping guide, Bai Tao successfully took Hao Fang away.
After getting on the elevator, she looked at Hao Fang and asked, "Which floor do you want to go to?" She was like a diligent and conscientious supermarket guide.
If Hao Fang hadn't known that she was sane, she would have almost thought that what she heard before was an illusion created by the copy.
There is no time to delay, Hao Fang knows that if she spends a long time with D-059, her IQ will drop! ! ! !
She got straight to the point and said, "D-059, should I call you Bai Tao or Hua Jia?"
Bai Tao shook her head in her heart. The information was inaccurate. Her name was still Taozi.
"Just call me Niu Er. What's your name, sir?"
"Hao Fang." Her mouth was faster than her brain. "Niu Er, I want to confirm——"
Bai Tao interrupted: "Ms. Hao, you don't mind me calling you that, right?"
Hao Fang: “…”
Have ghost stories also learned the meaningless greetings of humans?
"Sure," Hao Fang said confidently, "You can enter the supermarket only after receiving a call."
When cooperating with the ghost story, she cannot lose the initiative, so she chooses to take the initiative.
The minotaur tilted his head playfully: "Guess?"
Hao Fang: “…”
Hao Fang forced herself not to look away and directly stated the conditions: "Humanity can allow you to enter more copies, provided that you ensure the survival of humans."
It was quite straightforward. Although Hao Fang performed impeccably, Bai Tao still smelled something unusual.
——They didn’t know that Bai Tao could also hear the system announcement.
Bai Tao has always been puzzled about one thing: players in the real world have already destroyed the copy, so why would humans still want to cooperate with her?
Aren’t you afraid of raising a super weirdo?
Unless something goes wrong in the real world.
Hao Fang's actions confirmed Bai Tao's guess.
What could have happened in the real world? There was too little information to make any inferences, but what was certain was that it must have been something that endangered all of humanity.
Bai Tao didn't say yes or no.
"I will try my best to meet the customers' requirements as long as I get enough benefits." Bai Tao touched the three fingers of her left hand together.
She didn't intend to reveal her identity as it would be too troublesome to explain. Humans thought she was a ghost story, so Bai Tao would behave like a ghost story.
She's a human-friendly weirdo, that's all.
As for the players, she would help them if she could. She always did so, regardless of whether Hao Fang put forward the conditions or not.
Bai Tao politely reminded: "Ms. Hao, aren't you in a hurry?"
He said with a double meaning: "I will serve you from now on. I will charge you the service fee later. Ms. Hao, do you want to go shopping or participate in the event now?"
When Hao Fang heard the word "service fee", her heart tightened. In the ghost story copy, the service fee does not only refer to money.
She did not forget that when she called, D-059 said one word - send the package.
She might have to pay double for her service, but Hao Fang was ready.
From what D-059 said, she was planning to tag along, and with a staff member by her side, the chances of being exposed were slim.
I carry a gadget to resist cognitive tampering, hoping it will protect me from D-059. If I fall for it, I can only hope that the Bureau's research on D-059 is correct.
——D-059 never attacks players under her influence
So she nodded, and they reached an agreement.
Bai Tao wanted to act alone, but the rules restricted her. Her current role was to serve as a shopping guide for every household in the supermarket.
Shopping Guide Service Guidelines
1. Customers are God. It is forbidden to harm supermarket customers and honorifics must be used when addressing customers.
2. When a customer asks you for help, try not to refuse her, but do not agree to her unreasonable requests.
3. Always pay attention to customer movements. If you encounter a customer with strange behavior (including not shopping for a long time, not participating in activities, etc.), please pay attention to this person. If the suspicious behavior occurs more than three times, tell the black vest employee the customer's name.
4. There should be no human customers in the supermarket. If you see a human outside the fresh food area, please catch him and hand him over to the employee in a black vest in exchange for a supermarket reward.
5. There are no thieves in the supermarket. If a customer claims to have encountered a thief, please close the floor and prohibit customers who are not accompanied by supermarket employees from leaving the floor.
6. Shopping guides are not allowed to leave their work area on this floor unless there are customers around.
7. At the end of the service, remember to charge the customer a service fee.
8. What's in the warehouse is not free, but you can give it to customers.
9. Your responsibility is to sell products to customers every ten minutes.
10. For employees’ meals, please go to the Zhen Xiang Restaurant on the 5th floor and do not dine anywhere else.
11. If an employee damages a product, double compensation will be paid on top of the original compensation. If the product is damaged in front of you, please ask for compensation immediately. The employee can get one-tenth of the compensation. Otherwise, the employee will compensate for the product together with the person who caused the damage.
12. When there is a shortage of goods, please go to the warehouse to replenish them.
Rule 6 forces Bai Tao to find a customer to accompany her. Compared to choosing other monsters or uninformed players to engage in intrigue, Hao Fang, who knows everything about Bai Tao, is more suitable.
As for the mailing, it is not too late to charge the service fee after the copy is completed.
Then Bai Tao saw Hao Fang press the button for the first floor.
She walked out of the elevator and came to the event registration desk on the first floor: "I'm signing up for the event!"
The shopping guide on the first floor agreed immediately: "No problem, please wait, I will match you with teammates."
Hao Fang stopped him: "I want to team up with him!"
This guy is exactly Bai Tao.
Seeing the surprise in Bai Tao's eyes, Hao Fang felt proud. Naturally, he had to make full use of the strange teammate around him.
"It's just a small event, would you be willing to help?" Hao Fang said to Bai Tao.
The shopping guide looked at Bai Tao, who was snatching food from a tiger's mouth, with resentment: "Okay, dear, please come this way."
"The name of the activity is Single-plank Bridge. It's very simple. You and your companions will be tied to a rope. If you pass the bridge successfully, you will get a coupon to go to the supermarket. There is no penalty for failure."
"Come, let me help you tie the rope."
When it was Bai Tao's turn, the shopping guide had a sly smile on his face and looked Bai Tao's waist up and down. Bai Tao had no doubt that the shopping guide intended to make Hao Fang lose his teammate before the breakthrough.
He grabbed the rope and said, "Brother, I can do it myself!"
Bang--
The shopping guide fell heavily to the ground.
Bai Tao: "Hey, brother, why did you fall? Are you too weak? Do you want to come to our second floor? The medicine in the pharmacy is very good for your kidney deficiency!"
Get the sales task
The shopping guide dared not speak out but was angry.
After the shopping guide left, Hao Fang frowned and reminded: "We still have to pass the level, it's best not to offend the shopping guide."
Then she saw a mocking look on the face of the minotaur opposite her.
"Human, don't assume anything about us."
Different worlds have different rules. Whether in the Dream City or the Dungeon, it is only natural that the strong are respected.
If Bai Tao doesn't show her strength, the shopping guide will definitely take action. But now, the shopping guide won't take action until she is sure that she can kill Bai Tao.
She calmly told the players the rules of survival in the dungeon.
With the appearance of a minotaur, it becomes different.
After passing through a small tunnel, the light reappeared. The single-plank bridge was a real single-plank bridge, with a tree that had not been processed in any way lying across the crack.
The total length of the crack was inestimable. Bai Tao stood on the edge. Below was a bottomless abyss. The sky was also dark. In the entire venue, only the single-plank bridge was glowing.
“A small event.”
Then there will be no big events in the world.
The road behind me had disappeared, and a sentence was written on the ground.
[When there is only one person left, the level will fail and the person will be teleported out immediately. ]
Another little trick to sow discord.
Under normal circumstances, there should be two customers who go through the checkpoint together, and then they scheme against each other and harm each other.
"Oh my, be careful." Bai Tao deliberately scared people.
Hao Fang was startled.
After a while of reaction, he was speechless: "You are a staff member."
Hao Fang didn't know the rules for the staff, but there must be one of them: not to harm customers.
She once saw a real customer yelling at the shopping guide and cashier, and even bit off a piece of the shopping guide's flesh. The shopping guide was much stronger than the hurtful customer, but he just dodged and didn't fight back.
D-059 is a fake shopping guide, but her target is the supermarket. If her identity is exposed, based on the supermarket's hatred for couriers, she estimates that D-059 will be seriously injured if not killed.
This is another reason to be with D-059.
The trees across the crack are not thick and only one person can pass through.
Hao Fang pulled the rope: "I'm going to get on."
She was the first to step onto the single-plank bridge. The rope between the two of them was about one meter long. Then Bai Tao also stepped onto the bridge.
Spiders have strong balance and grip. Although Bai Tao is not in spider form now, crossing the single-plank bridge is a piece of cake for her.
If she were the level designer, when the challenger reached the middle, she would make the single-plank bridge rotate, and at the same time arrange for NPCs to raid from under the cracks, and it would be better to arrange a few in the sky as well.
——If we compare which level has the most deaths, Bai Tao would definitely do this. It would be so interesting.
Her ears moved slightly, and she heard the sound of flapping wings, coming from the sky, and the target was - Hao Fang.
Hao Fang was a beat slower, but she also noticed the attack from the sky. She squatted down and hugged the wooden bridge, avoiding the first wave of attacks.
She subconsciously looked at Bai Tao and found that D-059 was also attacked.
While he was distracted, the second wave of attack arrived. Hao Fang was caught off guard and slipped and fell off the single-plank bridge.
