Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 109 - 104: There’s Something Good!
Tang Yiyi had no idea what the shopkeeper was thinking at that moment, and even if she did, she wouldn’t solve his doubts for him. At this moment, Pudding was frantically shouting in her mind, "Hurry up, buy them all! There’s something good here, you must buy everything!"
Tang Yiyi’s mind moved, and she instinctively began searching with her eyes. However, although the room was quite spacious, it was piled with all sorts of cheap goods. At a glance, they were just ordinary mutated creatures, and she couldn’t see what Pudding meant by ’good stuff.’ Still, she didn’t doubt that Pudding was deceiving her.
Though this guy had become strange and bad-tempered after upgrading, he had never messed up when helping her. Therefore, she trusted Pudding quite a bit. Besides, these were all cheap goods, and buying them all wouldn’t cost much. Even if Pudding was tricking her, her loss wouldn’t be great.
So she didn’t hesitate to speak to the shopkeeper not far away, "I’ll take everything in this room. How many Credit Points in total?"
The shopkeeper was stunned at her words; Tang Yiyi hadn’t wanted this much before! He didn’t suspect that Tang Yiyi had discovered something valuable; in his eyes, everything in this room was junk, and there couldn’t possibly be anything valuable. He was just curious why Tang Yiyi wanted so much garbage.
But he only pondered internally since this transaction was the boss’s request, and he had urgently brought in so much junk from elsewhere for it, hinting at Tang Yiyi’s unusual identity! Even if he hadn’t thought much of her before, realizing this, he wouldn’t dare offend her now!
Thus, he was briefly stunned before quickly saying, "Wait a moment." Then he opened his personal terminal and swiftly sent an inquiry. Very soon, he received the boss’s reply, which was a brief three words—agree to her.
The shopkeeper’s heart tightened, realizing once more that he might have overlooked something, and the person before him had an extraordinary identity! However, he wisely asked nothing, only gave Tang Yiyi a positive response, and even took care to offer a total price in accordance with her earlier quotation, making it even cheaper!
Though he would hardly earn any commission this way, since Tang Yiyi was someone even the boss valued, she was someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend!
Tang Yiyi was surprised once again; the price she had previously given was already exceptionally low, yet now the shopkeeper’s asking price was even lower! Though the total Credit Points were much higher than her quote, she was taking all the goods, which was undoubtedly a huge bargain for her!
This odd situation made her uneasy again, but before she could say anything, Pudding set to work directly, eagerly stowing all the goods into the System Backpack!
Tang Yiyi looked at the suddenly emptied room, and her forehead involuntarily twitched!
Pudding was really too reckless!
Instinctively, she glanced at the shopkeeper’s reaction, seeing him staring at her wide-eyed in astonishment. Meanwhile, the two workers in the room were still bent over, but the goods had suddenly vanished!
The two likewise turned their heads, looking at Tang Yiyi with faces full of shock!
You couldn’t blame them for their exaggerated reactions; ever since the invention of the Space Storage Device, also known as Space Ornaments, Superpower Users have been able to use spiritual power to store items in the Space Ornaments or retrieve them, and the strength of spiritual power determined the distance items could be retrieved from. Theoretically, as long as the items were within the range covered by spiritual power, Superpower Users could use it to store them in the Space Ornaments.
Fortunately, humans also discovered a material that could block spiritual power and used it in construction, or theft cases would likely be maddening!
While ordinary people’s spiritual power was very weak, only physical contact could enable them to store items in Space Ornaments, which was vastly inferior to Superpower Users with strong spiritual power!
Because of this characteristic of the Space Ornaments, the ability to retrieve items also became a marker for judging the strength of one’s spiritual power!
The shopkeeper had only guessed that Tang Yiyi might have a Space Ornament but wasn’t sure, since the things she was buying were just too cheap, not something you’d think a person with a Space Ornament would do. But he had never imagined that Tang Yiyi could retrieve all the goods in the room in an instant!
Doesn’t this mean her spiritual power could cover the entire room?
This implies that this woman is not only a Superpower User but perhaps one with considerable talent or high Superpower Level?
The shopkeeper’s face turned slightly pale, instinctively recalling if he had ever offended Tang Yiyi!
It’s truly terrifying! You know, although he was the shopkeeper, he wasn’t even a Superpower User, just an ordinary person! If Tang Yiyi had high talent or Superpower Level, wasn’t he courting disaster with his previous actions?
However, he understood why the boss had specifically instructed him to ensure the transaction went through! Whether Tang Yiyi had high talent or a high Superpower Level, she wasn’t someone to offend lightly! She merely wanted to spend money on a bunch of garbage; what was there to prevent?
Thinking about it this way, the young shopkeeper couldn’t help but feel that Tang Yiyi might have some peculiar hobbies, like enjoying spending money to buy a pile of useless junk or something.
He was taken aback by his own thoughts, and as he turned around, he saw Tang Yiyi handing him an anonymous Point Card.
He quickly accepted the Point Card, swiped it on his personal terminal, and after entering the password Tang Yiyi provided, he saw the sum displayed, which was a bit higher than the amount he asked but not too much.
He understood this was Tang Yiyi’s intention, so he didn’t say anything foolish like "You gave too much," but rather smiled slightly and, with a courteous attitude, opened another door, leading Tang Yiyi outside.
Through this door was an ordinary alley. Tang Yiyi turned around to see that the door behind her had closed, leaving no trace, just an ordinary wall.
She frowned, thinking about the goods in the System Backpack, her brows then relaxed. She pulled the hat on her head, lowered her head, and quickly walked out of the alley.
She still remembered being watched before, so she was very cautious throughout, vigilantly keeping an eye on her surroundings. Strangely enough, until she left the Underground City, those people never approached!
This odd situation made her furrow her brows again; she thought about the shopkeeper’s sudden change in attitude, and her brows tightened even more! Yet, try as she might, she just couldn’t figure out who was helping her and for what purpose!
It can only be said, this is truly bizarre! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
