Chapter 19: Black Heart Mall

Views:

Most of the shelves are vacant, as if they have not been visited for a long time, and they are all covered with dust; the remaining individual shelves are skewed with goods, much like those that cannot be sold all the year round and have been stockpiled.

There is no manufacturer, shelf life, quality inspection certificate, these are all, the most damning thing is that there is no packaging instructions, no product introduction.

Just put a label next to the stand, indicating the name and amount, and nothing else will be explained.

It almost read [I will eat you], although there is no hawker standing in the container, but the hateful breath of unscrupulous profiteers is floating in every corner of the mall.

The third box in the upper left corner: [Tyrannosaurus snotball 10 capsules/1 box, 50¥]

The fourth row in the middle and the seventh from the left: [Xiaoqiang brand protein powder 300g/1 can, 50¥]

The first grid on the bottom: [Withered potted plant 1/1 pot, sale price 8.8% off 172¥]

In a shoe box spread out on the ground, a smelly wavy line was also made on the surface: [a lost sneaker (left) 1/1,100 yen]

The last inconspicuous moment: [Beethoven Finger Cot (Middle Finger)1/1,85¥]

An old slot machine was placed next to the shelf. Music was playing "Zila Zila". Next to the scrolling pattern was marked 100 yen for single draw and 10% off for ten consecutive draws 999 yen. (It’s 1 RMB cheaper)

Chen Chao carefully looked at each product back and forth, and it was basically impossible to accurately deduct the functional attributes and specific effects of the product from the product name. The only thing that can be absolutely determined is the price ranking of the product.

As a text editor, Chen Chao has always been insensitive to numbers; however, his self-consciousness as a poor person has always urged him to be extremely sensitive to prices.

The more expensive the price = the more valuable the goods = the better things! ! !

What you pay for what you pay for is the cornerstone of the prosperity of the commodity economy. It is also the shopping principle that Chen Chao believes in. Simple and honest. Those who disagree with this equation even forcefully come up with some false explanations. are some "sour grapes," the bitch, covered in sour stench fills all at risk.

Of course, Chen Chao is also a member of "Can't Eat Grapes" most of the time, but he is very honest. He does not say that grapes are sour. He just thinks that the grapes that cannot be bought are more expensive than the grapes in his hand. sweet.

Honesty is a virtue!

And it will not be changed because of [Logical Ghosts] and [Blood Endows Courage], which is a deep-rooted quality in Chen Chao's body.

"[Finger Coats] and [Running Shoes] should actually not only calculate the price of a single piece, but the price of a set, and the [potted plant] is a promotional price and needs to be restored to the original price, then..." Chen Chaozai Calculate the price of each item in my mind, and rank the items: "[Beethoven finger cot (middle finger)]>[Get a lost sneaker (left)]>[Withered potted plant]>[Xiaoqiang brand protein powder]> [Tyrannosaurus snot ball]."

After calculating the order of the products, Chen Chao glanced at the golden number 172 in the lower right corner of the screen. This was the number in his mall wallet, which was exactly equal to (372-200).

"Thriller points are the number of gold coins. The difference is that the former is not counted as a reduction after consumption, while the latter is spent!"

Chen Chao instantly sorted out the source of the gold coins, and then the roots of the teeth were a little bit painful: "I didn't know the purpose of the horror point just now. I spent 200 points to modify Xia Nannan's destiny line. In fact, I spent 200 gold coins to buy a destiny modification. Is the coupon so expensive?!"

"Impulsive consumption, I hope Xia Nannan can be worth the money!" Chen Chao recovered at the moment, only feeling that he was heartbreaking, and it took several seconds to calm down the rhythm of his breathing.

Return to the merchandise.

If the wallet is abundant, Chen Chao will definitely buy it all, but the embarrassing situation forces him to care about it, and he has discovered that the mall is very inhumane.

There is a line of small characters on the wooden frame in the upper right corner of the shelf, which is the size of a fly and is extremely inconspicuous: [If you want to buy as soon as possible, it is out of date, the money and the goods are delayed, and you do not recognize it when you go out, refresh the shelf every weekend at 14:00! 】

"Things that can't be bought temporarily can't be stored in the shopping cart. I really don't understand sales psychology at all. I deserve to be bankrupt!"

Chen Chao confided in his heart, but suffered from the lack of communication with Xiaomi customer service, so he could only accept the status quo: "The products that need to be discounted and promoted are not good products, and the discounted price turns out to be the total number of gold coins, huh ~ such crude ** consumption , Thought I would be fooled?... First of all, [potted plants] are excluded and not purchased."

"The complete [finger cots] should be 10, and the price of a complete set of products is the highest, but unfortunately, the probability of putting together a complete product, uh...it’s the poor and shameless manner of this grocery store, instead of Going to gamble can be made up by buying, it is better to gamble on slot machines, so it is simply eliminated."

"Although the possibility of getting another [shoe] together is difficult to estimate, relatively speaking, the probability will rise too much and you can take a gamble. Moreover, even if you wear one foot, it is always useful!"

Chen Chao decided in his heart to purchase the first item, deducting the frozen number, and the remaining gold coins are only enough to choose between [Tyrannosaurus snotball] and [Xiaoqiang brand protein powder].

Of course, you can also save it and keep it refreshed next week, but just a few gold coins, in Chen Chao's view, it really doesn't make much sense.

(Ps: The most important thing is that the logical ghost warns Chen Chao that if you don't consume here, the popularity above your head will drop!)

Chen Chao looked back and forth on the labels of the two goods.

At the same price, preference first!

Snotballs are more confusing than protein powder, and Tyrannosaurus and Xiaoqiang are comparable, the latter is not even qualified to be placed on the table of the former, so there is no need to consider it at all.

The only thing that needs to be tangled is the slot machine next to it.

The sound of "Zila Zila" music and the strange scrolling icons always make Chen Chao's eyes drift away from time to time.

Take a gamble, turn a single shoe into a motorcycle

If honesty is a good quality of human beings, then winning (du) awards (bo) is rooted in the inferior nature of human instinct, which is like opium addiction.

In particular, the talent badge [Logical Ghost] that Chen Chao got from opening the treasure chest today, or the [Fear Converter] selected by the two-item extraction, are obviously not like ordinary goods, which makes him a rare "European Emperor". The illusion of possession, luck is really swelling.

Chen Chao restrained this unrealistic illusion, "[Logical Ghost] and [Fear Translator] are special probabilities within a specific period of time. In other words, the probability calculations of those two draws are mixed with something similar to "Novice Gift Pack". "The characteristic is a kind of pseudo-random probability.

However, now that I have passed the novice unit, this concealed special privilege must have flew away from the top of my head quietly. At this time, if I use all my net worth to bet on slot machines, then I will definitely lose out! "

[Buy a lost sneaker (left)! 】

[Buy Tyrannosaurus snot ball! 】

The items on the shelf disappeared, the gold coins in the lower right corner were deducted to 22, the air was sunken to reveal a whirlpool, a foul-smelling sneaker was thrown out, a metal box stuck in the shoe, making a clinking sound .

Chen Chao: "..."
