Chapter 73: Discounts on Top of Discounts
240 for 10 jin, 2400 for 100 jin.
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow lightly, "If I buy enough, is there a discount?"
Hu Lailei glanced at Cheng Shuili; this person is lucky enough to be able to trade with the Rat King right now! A client this big must be secured!
Hu Lailei nodded and said seriously, "If you buy a lot, we can give you an additional 20% off!"
Discount on top of discount!
Cheng Shuili was satisfied, nodded, and said, "I'll buy 100 jin first, and come back after I finish."
Hu Lailei didn't expect that such a major customer would only ask for 100 catties.
She smiled apologetically and said, "One hundred jin is still too little; even after the discount it's under 2000 Game Coin, not a big deal. Think it over—if it were 100 kilograms, that would be perfect!"
Cheng Shuili was silent for a moment; she hadn't expected the orc to find even 100 jin insufficient.
But the acquaintance had made it clear when introducing herself that she holds a position, so it's normal she doesn't care about such a small transaction amount.
Cheng Shuili thought buying either 100 jin or 100 kilograms would be fine; she has enough Game Coin and currently no place to spend it.
Moreover, she has a suggested trap device pending contract manufacturing; she could charge a processing fee and recoup the money.
The only problem is whether Wan Yi can store that much food!
Cheng Shuili thought about it; she really didn't understand the situation and couldn't think of a solution, so she simply said to Hu Lailei, "Hold on."
She opened a small window and sent Wan Yi an inquiry message.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: How many jin of rice can you store?
【Wan Yi】:?
Wan Yi isn't the type to reply with just a question mark; the current situation is simply exhausting!
She knows Wu Ya has money and is meticulous about the food side!
But what does it mean to ask how much rice a rice jar can hold? If I say it can hold several thousand jin, can you afford that?
Wan Yi fell silent; maybe Wu Ya can really afford it.
【Wan Yi】: It can probably hold a hundred or two hundred kilograms. I have a rice jar. Buying a lot is fine; just put it there.
Cheng Shuili completely forgot that such an option existed.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Buy 200 catties, you eat for free, Xinxue and Liang Shanbo eat and ask them for Game Coin.
【Wan Yi】: Okay, boss!
Cheng Shuili smiled; the deal was settled.
Hu Lailei saw the human's expression and knew the matter was likely settled, immediately smiling, "We can arrange for someone to deliver it onto your vehicle; safety is guaranteed. If anything goes wrong, our shop will fully compensate!"
That's good!
Cheng Shuili isn't after the full compensation; it's the service attitude that matters!
Just one word: good!
Hu Lailei, seeing her satisfaction, immediately called two suit‑clad servers to load several bags of rice onto a cart.
Cheng Shuili glanced over; she had assumed this place, like the outside stalls, sold bulk rice, which made her worry about Wan Yi's jar capacity, but it turned out to be bagged.
Now there's no worry about whether it fits.
Just eat one bag, then open the next.
Each bag is 20 kilograms; she bought 100 kilograms, so five bags total—not as much as she imagined.
But the weight is definitely considerable.
This time Hu Lailei didn't lead her to a checkout; instead he pulled out a card‑reader‑like device and smiled, "The price for you is 30 Game Coin per catties, original total 6000 Game Coin. Because you're a Level‑2 VIP here, we give you 20% off, which is 4800 Game Coin."
Hu Lailei gave a coy smile, "With my personal discount, you only need to pay 3840 Game Coin. If that's fine, you can pay directly."
As Hu Lailei finished speaking, a system panel appeared in front of Cheng Shuili.
【Purchasing rice ×200 jin, you need to pay 3840 Game Coin, proceed?】
The numbers match.
Cheng Shuili clicked "Yes" directly.
Hu Lailei's smile grew brighter, and his gaze at Cheng Shuili became a bit passionate.
The competition inside Ten‑Thousand Beasts Trading Hall is still fierce!
But within Ten‑Thousand Beasts Trading Hall, nothing is discussed except one thing that draws attention: performance!
Right now business on the orc side is tough; customers are mostly fixed and no new ones are coming, whereas human customers are still a whole blue ocean—a big, unclaimed cake!
Hu Lailei's own perspective doesn't matter; he trusts the Rat King's eye. Anyone the Rat King is willing to give weapons to surely has huge wealth‑making potential.
"Is there anything else you need?"
Hu Lailei waved the payment device in his hand, his smile bright and warm.
"We'll still give you a discount."
Cheng Shuili nodded; she indeed had things she needed.
"What are the prices of your fruits?"
"These are rare goods!"
Hu Lailei's eyes lit up again, thinking the human was about to make another thousand‑plus transaction, and he hurriedly called staff to bring the shop's fruits forward.
Apples, mangoes, watermelons, cantaloupes, pears, apricots…
Various kinds were laid out in front of Cheng Shuili; they were clearly different from the fruits she'd seen in her past life, as if produced to a standard.
Each type of fruit had a uniform size and looked exactly the same.
Cheng Shuili was silent for a moment, then realized these weren't sold like in her past life; they weren't weighed by jin but sold per piece.
Looks like Liang Shanbo probably can't afford them.
Cheng Shuili thought and asked, "What's the cheapest?"
"The cheapest?" Hu Lai Lai blinked, obviously surprised; this human customer shouldn't be short of money, so... How...?
But Hu Lai Lai had professional training; after a brief hesitation she immediately recited the prices she knew by heart: "Apples are forty game coins each, peaches are thirty-five game coins each..."
She listed a string of prices in one breath, and Cheng Shuili listened carefully; none were below thirty game coins.
"The cheapest is the orange," Hu Lai Lai picked up a fully orange orange; this orange even had two dark green leaves, looking extremely fresh: "It's thirty-five game coins."
Cheng Shuili frowned; this price is simply outrageous.
But thinking of Liang Shan Bo, that big glutton, who would definitely borrow money from Xinxue, she still pulled out game coins: "One orange."
"Just one orange?"
Hu Lai Lai was quite astonished; just now this human had paid over three thousand game coins, nearly four thousand!
And yet they didn't even blink an eye!
Cheng Shuili nodded.
But Hu Lai Lai had a new idea: if this human was now reluctant to spend game coins, she might as well proactively give them a fruit.
It would be forming a good karmic connection!
Besides, if this human accepted her favor, in the future when they came to the trade station to spend, they would report her name.
