The way men and women shop is different. Women shop by walking around and it becomes a slow marathon.
When men go shopping, they usually have already decided what they want to buy and get straight to the point.
When Bai Wu entered the bargain hunting port, he had already decided what to buy. So even though he had the capital to be a bargain hunter, he still gave these vendors some room to survive.
He looked at several stalls one after another but didn't find what he wanted.
However, when I glanced over, I did see some interesting objects.
It thought it was a low-key razor, but it was useless. A hair dryer as outstanding as this one would still be so unique even if it turned into a razor. Current level of the spirit: 4h.
Seeing such a familiar introduction, Bai Wu did not spend any money. It was not something he wanted, so he would not spend a penny more.
Who would have thought that there would be a weirdo who would take the chamber pot out of the tower? Within ten feet, the chamber pot is 100% hit. Buy it, and you can also pee ten feet against the wind and accurately enter the hole. Mom will no longer have to worry about her baby wetting the bed. Current spirit level: 2.2h.
The white fog could not figure out why the man had taken the urinal out of the tower and survived for two hours and twelve minutes.
I just suddenly thought of the welfare girl in my previous life, who exposed herself in the wild for the first time.
A machete, a knife that men dream of. Once hit by this knife, the clothes under the body will be torn apart instantly, and the effect on the clothes of the opposite sex is doubled. Buy it and you will be a boy who can kill others. Current level of spirit: 5.7h.
More than five hours? Could it be that someone from the Survey Corps left the tower? And then found that the attributes of this knife were too rogue, so they threw it on the bottom floor
Bai Wu looked at these strange items and found that the outside of the tower was like a random enchantment device.
But so far, he hasn't seen anything he wants to buy.
He had walked a full third of the street to see the items he had just seen. The rate of genuine goods here was comparable to buying lottery tickets.
But there are actually quite a lot of goods that have left the tower. A quarter of the goods have been outside the tower, but no ghost phenomenon has occurred.
Soon, half of the entire port was visited. In the middle of the port, the road area was expanded, no longer a straight channel, but a huge disc.
This is the popular shopping area, and the shops next to the round plate are the so-called boutique shops. They are called boutiques because the quality of the fake goods they buy is better than ordinary fake goods.
Bai Wu also discovered that the streets that should have been crowded before were not so crowded... because the crowds were gathered in the middle of the port.
People gathered in three layers around the huge screen in the center. The content on the screen was quite interesting.
On the screen, a masked man wearing the Survey Corps' blue combat uniform said:
“My friends, this shovel in my hand is also called the mining god shovel. Seventeen hours, I think everyone knows what seventeen hours outside the tower means.
This is the item I sent my spirit to when I was on a mission with the Survey Corps. With this shovel, you can mine like a god! Just think about it, you only need to dig casually, and you can mine good ore that others may not be able to dig in a month!
If I hadn't joined the Survey Corps, I would have kept this thing for myself to make money. Now I can only reluctantly sell it to someone who is destined to be with me. I also came from a low-income family, and I know how hard life is for everyone, so I'll only sell it at a price that's meant for me!
998 Tas, you won’t lose money, you won’t be cheated, it’s very cheap, right? If you place an order now, you can get an immediate discount of 300…”
I didn’t look at the white fog behind me anymore.
After hearing the familiar lines from the TV shopping show, Bai Wu roughly knew what was going on.
He had to sigh at the wisdom of the working people, who even came up with live streaming to sell goods. As expected, watching TV will always be the core spiritual sustenance of the majority of working people.
The crowd began to make a noise. Everyone wanted such a shovel, especially since the other party was wearing the uniform of the Survey Corps, which added a lot of credibility.
This is indeed more popular than selling it directly at the stall.
But Bai Wu knew that the entire live broadcast was a fraud. When he focused on the screen, he saw the following note:
I thought cosplayers should wear cool and simple clothes, at least black or white stockings, but there are actually people cosplaying as Survey Corps... And the simple scene layout is too unprofessional, please look away!
Judging from the information in the remarks, this person is not from the Survey Corps, and he is not outside the tower at the moment... He is somewhere inside the tower, setting up a scene that looks like the scene outside the tower.
Yes, I have learned the essence of the fraudulent practices of some live broadcasters in the past. It can be seen that people have always been very smart in taking shortcuts.
Bai Wu did not expose it, nor did he have the ability to do so.
To be able to put up a screen in the central stand for people to watch, and to deceive people in the name of the Survey Corps, the power behind it must be quite powerful. I can ask Wujiu later.
There are actually many tricks involved in selling goods outside the tower, which are exactly the same as the antique scams in the past. The underground rules here are also extremely complicated.
He just wants to buy the goods he likes.
After walking through most of the bargain hunting port, Bai Wu came to a shop called "Orange Baby Shop" and stopped.
It’s not that this store has genuine goods, but the things sold in this store are different from those sold in other places.
The items in other shops are daily necessities or items needed for mining work.
In the Orange Baby Store, most of the items on display are related to food and drink. The store is also much more advanced than the stalls. At least there is a room for displaying items.
Although it is also very simple, it is quite high-end in comparison.
Bai Wu looked at the things in the shop casually.
A cup that can boil water instantly. If you take it outside the tower for a few days, it might evolve into a portable water purifier. Current level of the spirit: 2.5h.
It's a hot item for now, but according to the notes, it may become a portable water purifier after being sent to a spirit. It wasn't considered high-tech in the past, and it's not a treasure now. But for Bai Wu, it's still useful.
A rice cooker with the potential to harbor spirits. If you want to take it with you, I suggest you don't put a seal on it. The Evil Dead are not Lord Piccolo, and the Demon Sealing Wave is useless against them.
The items that have not been taken out of the tower are priced at 139 taels. If this price were put in the previous life, it would definitely be a rice cooker of a cheap brand.
But nowadays, people eat nutritional meals, so this kind of food has become obsolete. The price has also become sky-high.
"Handsome boy, what do you want to buy? We are having a promotion right now, 50% off for everything, but it's only for you."
A woman in her early twenties wearing black-framed glasses came out from the counter. She looked at Bai Wu, her tone was not deliberately flattering, but her eyes made people think a lot.
A sea queen who has been in love 19 times, has hundreds of backups in her fish pond, and is dating six people at the same time. Her recent taste is young and handsome.
Bai Wu didn't realize at all that the owner of this orange grocery store was actually a veteran.
However, her appearance and figure are acceptable. For someone who can own such a shop in such a low-end place, she is naturally not a weak woman.
He has no intention of making friends:
"I want both this rice cooker and this cup."
"You have a good eye. The cup is indeed a good thing. But this pot is useless. Putting it here will fool fools. I suggest you don't buy it. You are not a fool, and I don't want you to be a fool, hehe. By the way, my name is Liu Chengzi."
"I said, I want them all." Having already bought what he wanted, Bai Wu didn't want to stay any longer.
"Are you going to leave the tower?" Liu Chengzi narrowed his eyes.
She twisted her slender waist, walked closer, and looked at the white fog again.
What a clever woman... Bai Wu will leave the tower tomorrow.
He hated the taste of nutritious meals, but delicacies in this world were apparently a luxury, so he thought about buying a pot that could convert ingredients.
After walking around for a long time and not finding anything I liked, I decided to just bring a pot with me and try my luck. What if it turns out to be the “legendary kitchen utensil”
"How much?"
Bai Wu ignored Liu Chengzi's question.
"I just offered a 50% discount, but I changed my mind. I'll give you 10,000 taels of this pot, or give it to you for free. It's your choice. By the way, I'm the only one who sells boilers on the entire ground floor."
He couldn't take out 10,000 Tashi Baiwu. He looked at Liu Chengzi, was silent for a few seconds, and said:
"I'm just an ordinary person. How about you stop giving me discounts and sell it to me at the original price?"
"Will an ordinary person insist on buying this pot after I clearly told him it is junk? This is the modern age. The pot has no use anymore and no one would buy it unless... it has a spirit-hosting phenomenon. And this cup is useless inside the tower, unless you go outside the tower."
Bai Wu was not surprised, as this boss had the potential to be a dishonest businessman.
Liu Chengzi was very close to the white mist, so close that his breath could blow on the white mist's neck.
Generally speaking, in this situation, a young man of Bai Wu's age, full of vigor and vitality, would have some reaction even if he tried to restrain himself.
Bai Wu did not. He took a step back calmly and said:
"Then I choose free delivery."
Free things are always the most expensive. Liu Chengzi smiled and said:
"It's a pleasure to work with you. I'll help you pack it up."
Bai Wu watched Liu Chengzi take out an old camera with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Liu Chengzi explained:
"Don't worry, little handsome boy. You didn't tell me anything and I know nothing. I just accidentally left this camera among your goods. A few days later, you found it by chance and kindly returned it to me. You are really a good person who returns lost property, hehe."
Bai Wu roughly understood why Liu Chengzi could become the Queen of the Sea.
He saw that she was going to leave the tower as soon as they met, and immediately proposed a deal, helping her take the camera with her when she left the tower. At least he has good observation skills and is good at seizing opportunities.
“What if the camera can’t send spirits?”
Bai Wu didn't ask why he brought this camera, but from the notes, he could guess something.
A damaged film camera, with no film inside. But it had captured many secrets, comparable to Edison Chen's camera, it was a miracle that it had not been destroyed.
The lady boss probably wanted people to leave the tower, hoping that the camera would experience a ghost phenomenon. Or maybe she wanted to see some of the images that the camera had captured
"It's up to fate. Anyway, I'll give you this pot and cup. Let's start over. My name is Liu Chengzi."
"White mist."
"Then it's a pleasure to work with you, Brother Bai Wu. I'm waiting for your good news."
A strange commission just happened, it was just like a Ubisoft game, it seemed that just by walking around, I encountered an NPC with a question mark above his head.
But Bai Wu didn't object. He was a little curious about what was in the camera.
…
…
After leaving the leak-picking port, Bai Wu began to return to his residence.
A 25-square-meter house with simple decoration.
Wujiu was very meticulous in his work. In addition to arranging accommodation, he also left a lot of supplies for Baiwu, such as spare clothes, which were standard equipment for the Survey Corps.
In addition, there is also a brochure on the precautions for out-of-tower investigations.
Bai Wu did not act arrogantly. He picked up the manual and read it carefully. He thought some of the items were quite reasonable.
"When newcomers leave the tower, we will equip them with emotion detection watches. When your emotions fluctuate too much, the watch will sound an alarm. All members of the Survey Corps must abide by the rules and activate the teleportation wheel as soon as the bracelet sounds an alarm."
Among the supplies Wujiu gave him, there was a watch with the Survey Corps logo engraved on it. After Bai Wu put it on, he found that the number on the watch dial was 0.
The danger level is 75, and when it reaches 75, the alarm will be triggered. It is indeed a response mechanism.
After all, people sometimes don’t know whether they are in a state of emotional out-of-control. Having a unified data standard will reduce a lot of trouble.
Another thing that Bai Wu found reasonable was a mood stabilizer. This thing was also described in the promotional brochure.
"If you are close enough to the evil, and the dial pointer is about to enter the danger zone, you can consider injecting this. It is a non-suppressive mood sedative. It will not produce muscle relaxation effects. It will temporarily calm people down. The effect lasts for about five minutes. Please use this time to escape. Remember to escape, don't do anything stupid."
In order to increase the survival rate outside the tower, the Survey Corps has indeed made a lot of preparations.
Conventional tranquilizers relax muscles and significantly reduce a person's reaction speed, so they are not suitable for use outside a tower where high alert is required.
However, the tranquilizers used by the Survey Corps will not affect their combat capabilities, but they also have side effects.
"When the five-minute suppression effect ends, your emotions will enter an excited state, and any negative emotions will be amplified. So, please try not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary. Once you use it, be sure to use it to return to the tower."
Bai Wu picked up the box of injection reagent and looked at it carefully.
"So it's the principle of emotional rebound. It will force you to suppress your emotions, and after five minutes, your emotions will rebound..."
The crying child gets the milk. Although he hates crying and aggrieved children, Bai Wu does not want to give up these normal emotional sensations.
He hadn't felt sadness, anger, or fear for a long time.
He recalled the most painful experience in his previous life, his face remained expressionless, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Then he took out the syringe, inserted the reagent, and injected it into the right side of his neck.
There was no unusual feeling, except for a slight tingling sensation when the needle was inserted.
Bai Wu counted the numbers silently, waiting for the emotional rebound in five minutes.
(I have to go to the hospital tomorrow and won’t be staying at home at night, so I’ll post tomorrow’s post first. If I have time, I’ll continue to update tomorrow.)
