Speak Plainly, Do What You Say

He hadn't really understood it before, but now, after seeing these strangely shaped Player, Bai Zhi finally understood the meaning of the so-called S-rank Station benefits.

Actually, he was quite lucky. In the several Dungeon he went through, he didn't encounter any Anomaly similar to those about the mutated of the human body. Otherwise, he would have at least gone to the Operating Room.

After glancing at the people in line ahead and roughly estimating the time in his mind, Bai Zhi looked at the baby's head with its eyes gouged out and a sinister grin on the neck of the man standing in front of him, and decisively chose to leave.

People with low stress tolerance really can't stay in places like the Infirmary...

Compared to the deserted Infirmary, the supermarket was quite lively. Bai Zhi wasn't the only one who recognized the Jar Merchant from the Dungeon & Fighter scandal; any other Player with even a little knowledge of the Game would naturally recognize him.

When Bai Zhi walked over, more than a dozen people surrounded the counter, making it completely packed. Every now and then, cheers or sounds of regret could be heard coming from inside as jars were smashed.

The cans sold by the Jar Merchant aren't expensive individually, costing 100 Game Coins or 1 point each. However, a Rare Level of Equipment or item can cost several thousand Game Coins. Spending the money for a Rare Level of Equipment to buy dozens of cans to try your luck isn't really a big deal.

Having no intention of joining the crowd, Bai Zhi began searching through the supermarket shelf by shelf.

There's no Friend system or the concept of adding Friend here, let alone a private chat channel. It's rather difficult to contact other Player; you need to rely on some special items... For example, the [Nostalgic Postcard] that he fed to [Pitch Black Rubik's Cube] last time is an example of this.

However, these kinds of props have very niche uses, so they are basically hard to find on the market. He saw one when he came to the supermarket last time, but he didn't know if anyone had bought it...

As luck would have it, just as he turned the corner of a counter, he saw a Girl pick up the item he wanted.

The Girl had a long Red Scarf around her neck, her long hair was braided down her back, and she carried a red guitar on her back. As if she noticed his gaze, the Girl turned her head and glanced at him.

"Is there something you need?"

The Girl had a beautiful voice, but her face was expressionless, giving off a distinctly aloof feeling... Bai Zhi noticed a beauty mark under her left eye.

"Um... could you give me that thing you have? I need it for something."

Bai Zhi pointed to the Diary in the other person's hand and carefully asked the question.

"I understand the principle of first come, first served. If possible, I can give you some extra compensation."

"... Not for sale."

After a moment of silence, the Girl looked down at the Diary in her hand and silently gave her answer.

"These are what I put here for sale, but I don't want to sell them anymore."

"Um... I can pay a little more, is that alright?"

Seemingly surprised by this, Bai Zhi paused for a moment before quickly speaking.

Some of the items in the supermarket are sold by the supermarket itself, while others are consigned here by Player. Items consigned in the supermarket can also be found in the supermarkets of all other stations.

--As one of the benefits of S-rank Station, Player in S-rank Station will not be charged any handling fees when consigning Item in the supermarket.

"... Feel sorry."

Clutching the Diary to her chest, the Girl turned and walked silently toward the supermarket exit with her head down.

They quickly disappeared from his sight.

"... Forget it, let's think of another way."

Shaking his head, Bai Zhi walked to a shelf and took out a small, Exquisite Handmade Ship Model from his Inventory.

The Elite Level item he had previously swindled from the Fuzi— [Essmor Yacht].

The most difficult person to contact is the Fuzi. Heaven knows where he is right now. If he wants to recruit Fuzi Master, then the Fuzi's sister, who is also involved in this Large-scale Campaign Quest, is a potential breakthrough.

"Hopefully she'll recognize this model ship..."

After casually setting a price of 99,999, Bai Zhi deliberately added a few words to the product description.

[Fuzi, A’Ling, please leave a comment if you understand immediately.]

"Alright, man proposes, God disposes; now it's all up to luck."

After clapping his hands and setting the relevant consignment options in the System Interface, Bai Zhi stood up from in front of the shelf.

As for whether the Fuzi's sister will be able to see this thing... who cares, let's just do it.

With the Ocean Gem and the Plush Cat around, the speedboat was practically of little help to him.

After he finished doing all that and was about to head to the Infirmary to see if the White-haired Man in Sunglasses was free, he discovered that the dozen or so Player who had been surrounding the jar Merchant at the counter had left. The counter was littered with broken jar fragments, discarded slippers, underwear, socks, and broken water bottles...

Of course, these weren't the most important things. The most important thing was that he saw a jar Merchant squatting next to the shards, taking the items out one by one and stuffing them into new jars, revealing his true nature Shady Merchant.

... So, feelings are like a jar that can hold anything?

Upon noticing a pair of lace stockings stuffed into a new, intact jar, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

"... You saw it all?"

Seemingly sensing his gaze, accompanied by a soft voice, the jar Merchant turned his head a full 180 degrees towards him, while continuing to fill the jars with his hands.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on. A guide cane also appeared in his hand at some point. Then, he groped his way towards the supermarket entrance.

"You have the time for three Dungeon, and you still have two more Dungeon."

As Bai Zhi reached the doorway, the jar Merchant's eerie voice came from behind him.

"Also, I'm not Shady Merchant, don't misunderstand. This is called sustainable development. Welcome to buy jars from me again next time."

Bai Zhi: "..."

"What, have some strange things grown on your body too?"

Just as he himself claimed to be a top-notch doctor, the White-haired Man in Sunglasses was quick to "save lives." By the time Bai Zhi returned to the Infirmary, all the Player had already been treated.

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses clearly recognized him and scrutinized him carefully from head to toe, his tone slightly odd.

"But I don't see anything extra on your body... or is something missing? It's okay, feel free to speak up. Doctors have the heart of parents, and I will take responsibility for healing you."

"Don't worry, I'm not sick."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi found a chair and sat down.

"I've come here specifically to discuss a deal with you... or rather, a business transaction. Are you interested?"
