In any case, Bao Chi was quite happy now.
It was a win-win for both of them.
Despite the friendly atmosphere, Cheng Shuili didn't let her guard down for a second. Bao Chi was being very kind now, but he might not be so friendly once he saw the specific profit-sharing figures later.
Going from twenty-five percent to one percent—it would be normal for him to flip out.
Better take advantage of the twenty percent discount and grab them now!
Cheng Shuili picked up the last two European breads and placed them on the counter for Bao Chi to ring up.
“I want these two as well!”
“A-as… as agreed…”
Why was he starting to stutter again?
Cheng Shuili waited patiently for a good while before she finally understood what he meant.
“The twenty percent discount as agreed; that makes 4,800 game coins in total.”
That was right.
Cheng Shuili successfully made the payment.
After finishing her mileage today, she had been rewarded with another 10 game coins. She had spent 3,000 on the first batch of European bread and another 4,800 this time, leaving Cheng Shuili with only 1,293 game coins left.
Cheng Shuili sighed. Money really didn't last long. No matter the era, money always seemed to disappear so quickly.
Cheng Shuili didn't rush to eat them, instead tucking the European bread into the Abyss Ring.
She had already spent half an hour in the bakery, leaving her with an hour and a half left in the beastman town.
She stood up, straightened her clothes, and was just about to push the door open when she saw a few old acquaintances in the distance through the glass.
A wolf-headed beastman, a bear-headed beastman, and that police bureau chief.
The group had a very clear target: they were heading straight for Cheng Shuili.
Cheng Shuili: “……”
Surely she wasn't going to have to take another trip to the police bureau?
She didn't rush to leave, instead sitting back down on the wooden chair to adjust her title.
She switched from 【Noob's Salvation】 back to 【Supreme Monarch】; majesty could resolve quite a few troubles.
Bao Chi cautiously peeked out with just his eyes. Seeing Cheng Shuili sit back down instead of leaving felt strange. He was just about to ask when he felt this human suddenly change.
In that split second, this human suddenly became terrifying.
Bao Chi shrank his neck and hid back behind the counter.
The bakery door was quickly pushed open. The arrivals scanned the room, but Lang An didn't see Cheng Shuili or Bao Chi. He scratched his head in confusion and shouted, “Bao Chi! We’ve got beasts visiting and you’re not even greeting them?”
After a moment, Bao Chi's voice drifted out from behind the counter.
“W-welcome… to our shop!”
Lang An: “……”
Was he being a bit too hard on this little stutterer?
Lang An's view was blocked by Xiong Gu, which was why he hadn't seen Cheng Shuili, but the other two beastmen had spotted the human sitting over there at a glance.
The chief signaled Lang An to shut up with a look before leading the two beastmen toward Cheng Shuili.
She had clearly prepared herself mentally, but the moment she faced Cheng Shuili, she realized her preparation had been insufficient.
Cheng Shuili remained expressionless; these beasts were definitely here to cause trouble.
She took the initiative and asked, “Is there something you need?”
The chief suppressed her inner nervousness, pursing her lips twice before finding her voice: “R-recently, there has been a high incidence of influenza. Humans entering the beastman town are required to have their temperatures taken. Only those with a normal temperature are allowed to move about the town.”
Oh.
If that was the case, it was only fair.
Cheng Shuili was silent for a moment, then suddenly realized something was wrong. Shouldn't she have been pulled aside for a temperature check the moment she entered the town?
She had been wandering around for half an hour already; wasn't it a bit late for these people to be tracking her down?
If the chief knew what she was thinking, she would have silently wiped the sweat from her brow. That was how it was supposed to be, but who could blame her when this human was so imposing? Hadn't she noticed that even Lang An and Xiong Gu didn't dare speak to her?
The chief sighed inwardly and summoned her courage: “Shall I take your temperature then?”
Cheng Shuili nodded: “Of course.”
The chief pulled a thermometer gun from somewhere. Cheng Shuili sat in her chair, watching as the chief aimed the gun at her head.
“Beep.”
The thermometer gun emitted a green light.
The chief let out a visible sigh of relief, “Human, you are healthy.”
Of course she was healthy.
Her health value was locked at 80; it wouldn't drop even if she got sick.
Cheng Shuili suddenly wondered: if she were to get sick, what would it look like? Would there only be symptoms without any specific numerical indication?
She didn't dwell on it.
The chief didn't leave immediately; instead, she pulled a few bags of herbal medicine from the same place she had hidden the thermometer.
“Human, influenza is common lately, so you should be careful. This is our beastman town’s special preventive medicine. Taking it can prevent the flu. Three times a day, two days per course. This is one full course, so keep it safe.”
Cheng Shuili accepted it silently.
【Special Preventive Medicine of Beastman Town】
Was that really the name?
【Description: Preventive medicine! The medicine lives up to its name! It can prevent all diseases! A top-tier choice for strengthening the body and health maintenance! Daily use increases health value, adding 10 points per course.】
Increasing health value by 10 points.
Good stuff.
Cheng Shuili had only experienced health value increases when changing titles, and the feeling of clearly sensing her physical constitution growing stronger was actually quite nice!
The smile on Cheng Shuili's face became more genuine, and her whole demeanor softened. She thanked the chief sincerely: “Many thanks.”
The chief didn't really understand human aesthetics, but the moment she saw this human's smile, she inexplicably felt that this person must be the type who was very popular among humans.
The three beastmen left quickly, not wasting a second.
Cheng Shuili took one last look at the pitiful Bao Chi. The little stutterer was still hiding behind the counter, and he probably wouldn't realize that the profit distribution had been modified by a bad person like Cheng Shuili until he went to collect his game coins.
Cheng Shuili felt no guilt whatsoever as she pushed the glass door open and walked out.
With just over an hour left, where should she go for a stroll?
The special items from the bakery and the shop had already been acquired.
Cheng Shuili stood at the entrance of the bakery and scanned the area. There was a beauty salon open right across the street.
A beauty salon?
What use would a beauty salon have in a place like this?
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow and crossed the flow of people to the other side of the street. She pushed open the heavy glass door of the beauty salon, revealing only a counter and a staircase leading to the second floor.
“Welcome～ to the Tiger Beauty Salon!”
A tiger beastman with a small red flower tucked behind her ear popped up from under the counter. Seeing that it was a human entering the shop, her expression changed. She frowned and repeated, “We are not at all happy to welcome you! We are not happy to serve you! Human! What are you doing coming in here?”
Cheng Shuili: “……”
Wasn't that a bit biased?
Since she was already here, she couldn't just walk back out, could she?
Cheng Shuili coughed lightly. Based on her understanding of these beastmen, the system must have forced them to offer services for humans, and this kind of welcome was purely the beastman's subjective opinion.
“Do you have any services?”
Tiger Sister was startled, nearly jumping up from behind the counter!
This human actually dared to ask her what services they had?
She would call Tiger Brother, who made weapons, to come and deal with her in a minute!
