Chapter 47: The Richest Man's Daily Necessities

Cheng Shuili nods, glances at the toast, and asks, "Can we do business together?"

Bao Chi hasn't spoken yet when the system suddenly pops up a window.

【Sending a cooperation request to the Beast‑person NPC; note: insufficient favor may cause failure.】

Cheng Shuili reads that and knows she's about to be rejected, after all she just used 【Authority】 to scare the stuttering little one, though she didn't mean to…

Sure enough, the stuttering little one shakes his head resolutely.

Cheng Shuili: "……"

She gives an awkward smile and asks again, "I can at least buy the toast, right?"

Bao Chi Qing Qing nods.

Seeing this, Cheng Shuili no longer hesitates; she decides to keep 20 Game Coin to buy a porcelain bowl in the mall, and use the rest to stock up on toast.

She can buy a total of 55 bags.

Cheng Shuili looks around; the counter has just over twenty bags. She points at the toast and asks, "Are there any pre‑made toast left?"

Bao Chi nods again, and after a moment asks, "How many do you want?"

Cheng Shuili smiles faintly, "I want 55 bags."

Bao Chi is startled by the number, carefully peeks his eyes out and asks Cheng Shuili, "Do you really want to buy that many?"

Cheng Shuili nods; listening to him is rather tiring.

Fortunately Bao Chi moves quickly, deftly bringing out the packaged toast from the back kitchen, piling it at Cheng Shuili's feet; after the amount is sufficient, he scurries back behind the counter and crouches.

"That's all."

Cheng Shuili nods and promptly pays 385 Game Coin.

Bao Chi's eyes clearly brighten, and his gaze toward Cheng Shuili becomes a bit affectionate.

Realizing something, Cheng Shuili asks again, "Can we do business together?"

Bao Chi still shakes his head, but gives a reason: "We need a second meeting."

Cheng Shuili understands; it's probably some rule of Shou Ren Cheng Zhen.

She nods, puts the toast into the Abyssal Ring, and now realizes the ring is quite handy for storing things.

"Two hours."

The stuttering little one stammers out another sentence.

Cheng Shuili stops her steps to leave, turns and asks, "What two hours?"

"Each visit you may stay in Shou Ren Cheng Zhen for two hours."

Cheng Shuili nods, pushes the door open and walks out.

Bao Chi watches Cheng Shuili leave, finally sighs in relief and collapses onto the ground; thinking that this human bought so much toast, he can't help but feel elated. Selling that many items at once—today is truly a memorable day!

Even though he just saw the human off, he already looks forward to her next visit.

Two hours…?

Cheng Shuili ponders: she spent half an hour at the police station, buying toast didn't take much time, and she has plenty of time left to buy a porcelain bowl.

She thinks of heading toward the biggest mall in Shou Ren Xiao Zhen.

She still has 22 Game Coin in hand; buying a porcelain bowl should be fine.

Cheng Shuili stands before the shelf, eyes widening at the numbers on the label.

"One porcelain bowl costs me 9,999 Game Coin???"

Cheng Shuili: "......"

Now that's a ripoff merchant.

Cheng Shuili pauses, casually glances at the golden rice bowl beside it; if a porcelain bowl is 9,999 Game Coin, the golden one must be even pricier, right?

Her gaze fixes on the price tag.

She lifts her hand to touch the golden rice bowl.

【The Richest Man's Daily Necessities】

【Description: As you can see, this is an ordinary bowl; the gold on its surface may be a layer of gold paint, or the bowl itself could be made of gold. However… eating with this might bring unexpected surprises! Of course, its price fully lives up to its name!】

【Current price: 10 Game Coin】

Cheng Shuili keeps her grip on the golden rice bowl; although bugs have become commonplace, such occasional surprises still make her smile.

She thinks she could post a help request on the regional channel.

What to do if you want a porcelain bowl but get tangled up with a 9,999‑price golden rice bowl?

She didn't actually send it, after all other survivors would really scold.

Cheng Shuili, still gripping the golden rice bowl, places it on the checkout counter, where the cashier is a long‑eared little rabbit.

The rabbit cashier, Tu Yuan, visibly freezes at the human's item; although the golden bowl sits among other porcelain bowls, its price alone makes it the most expensive item in the mall.

There is none like it!

Tu Yuan widens his eyes, swallows a mouthful of saliva before speaking.

"Human, do you really want to buy this? You should have checked the price carefully, right?"

The rabbit's tone was surprised; he didn't look down on the human at all, just kindly reminding that the item is expensive, nothing more.

Cheng Shuili nods under his hopeful gaze; she of course understands the rabbit's meaning.

She silently gives him a thumbs‑up in her mind: what a good beast!

"Then I'll charge you first: one 【The Richest Man's Daily Necessities】, total 9,999 Game Coin, please pay."

As the rabbit finishes speaking, a payment panel appears before Cheng Shuili.

【Purchasing The Richest Man's Daily Necessities, you need to pay 10 Game Coin. Proceed?】

The light carriage road is now familiar.

Cheng Shuili clicked "Yes", tapping the table while waiting for Tu Yuan to help her pack the items; the moment she received it in her hand, she stored it into the Abyssal Ring.

She smiled at Tu Yuan, her smile made Tu Yuan's mind waver; this human actually damn rich, so rich yet still so easygoing, really a good person.

Cheng Shuili left the store without looking back, re-equipped the Supreme King, and hurried out of Shou Ren Xiao Zhen.

Nonsense, if we don't run, are we waiting for these beastmen to notice something's wrong and chase after us?

Cheng Shuili wasn't sure whether they could actually notice something wrong, but Cheng Shuili knew she had to leave as soon as possible.

After sitting back in the shopping cart, Cheng Shuili pressed the accelerator and drove off a good distance, making sure she could no longer see the shadow of Shou Ren Cheng Zhen, then she opened the Abyssal Ring, holding the golden bowl and examining it carefully.

This thing doesn't seem particularly special, does it?

What surprise does the system description mention?

Cheng Shuili opened the description again and looked; it was no different from before, except there was an extra line of small text at the end.

【Unique Holder: Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, this item cannot be traded, the holder cannot be changed, after gifting it will automatically return after a certain time.】

Oh?

This is locking her down?

Cheng Shuili raised her eyebrows; she had originally been a little worried that Wan Yi would see the bowl open.

She sent the bowl over for a meal, and if Wan Yi didn't give it back, the dishes would spoil.

Now that worry is completely gone.

Cheng Shuili, seized by excitement, ran to the bathroom and washed the bowl thoroughly, then knocked on Wan Yi's small window and directly sent the bowl over.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: My bowl, I'll use this to eat from now on.
