Chapter 13: Activating System Stores (Part 2)

  Chapter 13: Activating System Store (Part 2)

  The shopping malls in Huaxia country are divided into three levels: The third level is where the mall itself shows off, boasting about its long history, central location and gathering of elites; The second level is where customers show off, even if they just bought a piece of radish from this kind of mall, they would take it out in various occasions to show off to their friends, "This is a certain brand of radish, pure green, healthy, non-transgenic, its effect is comparable to that of thousand-year-old ginseng..."

  But that's not the top level, the first-class business is where customers and service staff pretend to be high-end together. The customers are all noble, the service staff are even more arrogant, when they see a customer wearing famous brand clothes with a famous brand bag, their mouths are sweeter than honey; but if they encounter two girls like Liu Xue and Ye Zi, who are dressed in shabby clothes, just barely crossing the poverty line, then the words that come out of their mouths are worth savoring. These beautiful female service staff can do it under the surface of politeness, exuding a cold and icy aura, as if they were disciples of the ancient tomb sect, making you retreat in shame, with no place to hide.

  Zhou Yi and Liu Xue encountered a service staff with an extremely high level of pretentiousness.

  This is a world-renowned children's clothing brand, and the price is also outrageously high. Just a pair of children's socks can sell for over a hundred yuan.

  But the brand is the brand, whether it's the style, workmanship, color matching and pattern of the clothes, are all top-notch, Xiaoyezi is so cute, wearing the clothes here must be a little princess.

  So Zhou Yi didn't say a word and dragged Liu Xue into the brand's counter.

  "Boss Zhou, don't be like that, a single piece of clothing here costs several thousand yuan, I'll have to sell stalls for half a month to make it back."

  She just took a glance at the price and shook her head. Two years of hard work had made this former materialistic girl understand the difficulties of life, and she became more self-respecting and self-loving. Although she had a good impression of Zhou Yi, she believed that love was about mutual giving on an equal basis, rather than one-sidedly accepting gifts.

  Her skin is too thin, and she really can't do it like the female guest who has a sincere intention to disturb. On the one hand, she is extremely eager for material things and dreams of finding a big shot to raise herself as a pet. On the other hand, she still wants to hypocritically say that this is to give male guests proper pressure, to test whether they have an upward heart. She's already been a bitch and still wants to set up a stinky monument.

  So, Liu Xue chose to decline Zhou Yi's kind intentions. In her view, excessive gift-giving would to some extent destroy the pure friendship and possible love that might come, and even be a serious affront to her own dignity.

  Zhou Yi looked at Liu Xue and, although he was a bit disappointed that she had rejected his good intentions, quickly understood her thoughts. He nodded and said: "Then let's take a look. It's not easy to bring leaves once in a while. If you really don't want to buy it, we can find a smaller brand later."

  "Uh, okay......" Liu Xue nodded and pulled Yezi into the counter to browse.

  The two waiters inside the counter carefully sized up Zhou Yi and others, and their pretentious habit suddenly broke out.

  A waiter walked over, with a professional smile: "Welcome, sir and madam. Are you here to buy clothes for your baby? I'm really sorry, but because we are a top brand, our clothes are quite expensive. If they get dirty, we will be penalized, so if you see something you like, please let me know and I'll take care of it for you?"

  "This sentence originally didn't have any problem, but it carried a strong sense of pretentiousness and professional rejection. Liu Xue's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Zhou Yi: "Brother Zhou, let's just forget it, we can go buy somewhere else..."

  "Hehe, why go somewhere else? I think it's pretty good here, and Yezi likes the clothes here, right?" Zhou Yi asked with a smile.

  "Hmm... Yezi likes the clothes here, but Yezi doesn't like the auntie here..." The clever and nimble little Yezi looked up at the waitress with a slight pout.

  "Just now Yezi looked at these clothes, should all be liked?"

  "Take this one, that one, and that one over there, I'll take them all!"

  "Everything is ready! Oh... okay, please have a seat with the lady in our customer lounge and have a cup of coffee. We'll get everything wrapped up for you right away."

  The waitress was visibly stunned, her professional smile suddenly turning into a heartfelt reverence, and she even bent down to gently stroke Yezi's little head: "Baby is so pretty, like a little princess..."

  This time, Liu Xue didn't refuse and walked all the way to the rest area before saying in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Zhou."

  "No need to thank me, it's like this everywhere, just don't mind it."

  Zhou Xing didn't bother to argue with the salesperson from earlier, and buying so many children's clothes at once wasn't about saving face, but rather using money to restore Liu Xue and Ye Zi's self-esteem, or in other words, to rebuild Liu Xue's confidence. After all, when someone has been struggling at the bottom of society for too long, their self-confidence will inevitably be bruised, and Liu Xue was no exception.

  Another function of the soft sister coin is that it can make the arrogant and domineering girl instantly become soft and weak, as if she had just been through a fierce battle, like the female waitress earlier, who was successfully softened under Zhou Yi's money attack and could no longer stand up straight.

  Willow also felt the intention of Zhou Yi, so she didn't stop him. Yezi is going to be three years old today, which is a crucial moment for establishing self-esteem and confidence. Even if it's with money, we should let Yezi stand up straight, although this sounds a bit sad.

  Since when did human dignity and self-confidence need to be bought and supported with money? But this is reality, an unavoidable reality.

  "Sir, the total is 13,880 yuan, we have received 13,000 from you. Here's your receipt..."

  The fairly pretty waitress handed over the bill with both hands, and it was as if she were facing her own father.

  "Willow catkins, you stay with Yezi for a while, I'll go pay the bill..." Zhou Yi took the payment slip without even looking at the female service staff.

  "Ma'am, you're so lucky to have such a cute baby... Here's our VIP card, next time you come to consume..." The waitress' flattering words came from behind.

  Soft sister coin, you're so cute, but also so hateful.

  As he walked to the payment counter, Zhou Yi took out his bank card and was about to hand it over with the payment slip when the system prompt tone sounded again: "Ding, system store activation, real currency detection in progress, building exchange channel..."

  A store interface appeared in front of Zhou Yi, with various goods that he had never seen before in reality, each marked with a certain amount of game currency.

  However, the goods here are divided by profession, with clear labels such as 'Culinary Class', 'Medical Class', 'Planting Class', 'Martial Arts Class' and so on, followed by corresponding goods and tools.

  However, the medical and other secondary occupations have not been activated yet, so the corresponding items are all grayed out and cannot be selected; currently only cooking-related tools are displayed in white, apparently available for purchase and use.

  "This system is really comprehensive, I didn't expect there to be so many secondary occupations, and even medical ones?"

  Thinking of his own cooking skills being upgraded to the ninth level, Zhou Yi suddenly became excited. After all, he was a medical graduate and attached great importance to the medical profession, which even surpassed that of cooking and other professions.

  PS: This chapter is a transitional chapter. I've racked my brains but couldn't come up with anything brilliant, so just bear with it, everyone.

  It's almost time to top the charts, my dear readers, take out your votes and collections, and hit them hard, let's move towards success together!

  Thanks for the light and darkness :)
