Chapter 13: A Great Bug!

Come look at mine! Come look at mine! The radish vegetables on our rabbit stall are the healthiest! And they're super cheap, a red radish costs only ten Game Coins!

Cheng Shuili didn't speak, let alone ten Game Coins, she didn't have a cent.

But just looking doesn't cost anything, Cheng Shuili squeezed up to the rabbit stall, where several kinds of vegetables were neatly laid out on a cloth—radish, cabbage, spinach, and so on.

They looked lush green, with a few droplets of water, especially fresh! Too bad Cheng Shuili couldn't cook and had no Game Coins, so she couldn't eat even if she wanted to.

Further ahead was a fox beastman's stall; seeing Cheng Shuili, he enthusiastically introduced: "Hey, human, haven't found anything suitable yet? Come check out my stuff! Our fox family sells fast food, a hundred times more convenient than what that rabbit sells."

He flashed a sly smile, "But the price… it's definitely a bit higher than the rabbit's! Look, you're the first customer, I'll give you a discount."

Cheng Shuili stood in front of the stall and pointed at the instant noodles, asking: "How much is this per pack?"

"Not much!" the fox beastman held up two fingers, "Just this amount!"

Cheng Shuili pondered for a moment, "Twenty Game Coins?"

"My stuff is a hundred times better than the rabbit's! How could I sell it so cheap? It's two hundred!"

Cheng Shuili frowned, turned and left, this swindler! Twenty was about right, yet he demands two hundred!

"Hey, don't go!"

Cheng Shuili ignored his call; everything in the trading post was complete and excellent, but she didn't have a single Game Coin on her.

But browsing costs nothing.

Cheng Shuili entered the splendid Myriad Beasts Firm, where a dog beastman wearing a black vest immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"Honored guest, what would you like to buy? Our Myriad Beasts Firm has everything! Spend over 2,000 Game Coins to get first‑level VIP; spend 4,000 for second‑level VIP; spend over 100,000 Game Coins for third‑level VIP!"

"With first‑level VIP you get a 10% discount in our store; second‑level gives 20% off; third‑level gives 40% off!"

Cheng Shuili nodded, kept his words in mind, and pretended she had money, saying: "I'll just look around; you don't need to follow me."

"Okay." The dog beastman nodded and stepped back.

Cheng Shuili walked a few steps forward; the counters on both sides were filled with a dazzling array of goods—everything for food, clothing, housing, and travel—but they were far pricier than the outside stalls.

In the very center lay a card; Cheng Shuili leaned in to look—it was exactly the store employee ID mentioned on the radio.

Cheng Shuili had just been browsing casually, since she couldn't afford anything anyway, but she gasped when she inadvertently glanced at the price list.

What was written there wasn't the 3,999 broadcast on the radio, but a big fat zero!

BUG!

Who knows if this BUG is usable!

Cheng Shuili's heart surged; she guessed that Game Coins were probably a kind of virtual currency, and since it's part of the system, payment should be made via the system!

In other words, she might have a chance to snag a bargain!

Cheng Shuili immediately went to find that dog beastman, pointed at the store employee ID, and said: "I want to buy this."

"Sure, I'll wrap it up right away!"

The dog beastman carefully pinched the card, looking as if he wanted to go straight to package it.

Cheng Shuili hurriedly said: "No need, I'll pay now."

Upon hearing that, the dog beastman instantly realized this was a big client—the employee ID costs a full 3,999 Game Coins; if the sale went through, he'd pocket a ten percent commission, a full 400 Game Coins!

His heart burned hot, his gaze toward Cheng Shuili blazing—this wasn't some ugly human at all, she was practically the God of Wealth!

He led Cheng Shuili straight to the checkout counter; the cashier was an elephant‑headed beastman who took the employee ID, dripped it with a device, and the amount instantly appeared on the screen beside her.

【About to purchase the store employee ID, you need to pay 0 Game Coins. Confirm payment?】

Great, and it's a system operation!

This BUG instantly became great!

Cheng Shuili clicked "Yes"; after a moment the system flashed and a new page popped up.

【Transaction successful.】

【You have obtained first‑level VIP status in the Myriad Beasts Association! Purchase all supplies at a 10% discount!】

【Store Employee ID: after use, gain beastman NPC identity, allowing entry into any beastman town! Simultaneously unlock a fast‑sell channel—unwanted supplies can be directly exchanged for Game Coins!】

Cheng Shuili gripped the card tightly, smiled, nodded at the elephant and dog beastmen, then turned and walked out of the Myriad Beasts Firm at a leisurely pace.

Just as she stepped out the main gate, she bolted back to the shopping cart as if fleeing.

The dog beastman watched her move, frowning: "Why is this customer running so fast?"

The elephant beastman likewise frowned, stared at the screen for a moment, confirmed the payment had succeeded, and scratched his head in puzzlement: "Right, she paid, yet she's running that fast?"

"You can't leave without paying, after all—the cat Ning guarding the door isn't a vegetarian."

The dog beastman watched Cheng Shuili leave, guessing this might be a peculiar habit of human customers, after all Cheng Shuili was his first human patron.

"Don't even… human business is really easy."

The dog beastman watched Cheng Shuili drive away in the shopping cart, gradually fading, and finally realized something was off: "Did she pay?"

The elephant beastman looked bewildered: "She did pay."

The dog beastman slammed the table: "Where's the sound of the money?"

Whenever he'd done business with beastmen before, each successful transaction would trigger the sound of rolling coins—the notification tone for Game Coins arriving! "Where are my 3,999 Game Coins? And my 400?"

The elephant beastman kept scratching his head: "What's the rush? There's still my 40 in there! Maybe there's a delay with human transactions."

"Really?"

"Probably."

Cheng Shuili twisted the shopping cart forward, her heart practically blooming with joy—a small windfall!

She gripped the card, chose to use it, and the system reminded her:

【You have obtained beastman identity!】

【You have obtained selling permission!】

Cheng Shuili nodded satisfactorily—what a bountiful harvest!

She didn't know that after she left, the two beastmen sat facing each other, propping their heads up, calculating accounts all night, and still couldn't figure out where her payment of 3999 Game Coins went.

At three in the afternoon, Cheng Shuili successfully finished today's schedule.

She didn't stop, the grand prize she had been longing for was right ahead—who would give up now?

Driving all the way was a bit boring, so she opened the regional channel to see what everyone was saying.

She never expected that clicking in would bring the latest news of 【Glorious Shining Blue Star】.

【Glorious Shining Blue Star】: It's best to stop and explore the buildings encountered along the way; currently, we know of four types of buildings.
