Chi Qingchi's small face was also filled with shock.
Buying all three would cost nearly three thousand yuan!
Where did Lin Yu get so much money?
Even if he had it, he shouldn't spend it like this; it was too extravagant.
In front of the others, Chi Qingchi couldn't directly say anything.
She could only tug on Lin Yu's sleeve, trying to stop him with her eyes and subtle headshakes.
Lin Yu smiled, raising his eyebrows, and gently patted Chi Qingchi's small hand.
This intimate gesture was once again clearly seen by the three.
It was just like a girlfriend complaining about her boyfriend's reckless spending, only for him to comfort her...
Lin Yu asked Zhao Yuhao:
"Yes, I'm buying all three, Vice President Zhao. I'm new to the anime scene."
"Can't I buy all three together? Is there some rule about that?"
Hearing that he wanted to open three orders, the ponytailed female store manager at the counter quickly scurried over:
"You can buy them together, of course you can buy them together!"
"Handsome guy, beautiful lady, if you buy all three together, you can get a 10% discount."
"You can also get a free membership card for our store, and you can redeem gifts with your points."
This store usually sold many items for tens or hundreds of yuan.
Large-scale figures costing one or two thousand yuan rarely sold.
But if you open an anime merchandise store, you can't *not* have large figures, or your prestige won't be high enough.
Hearing that a small goldmine was about to be reaped, the female store owner couldn't be happier!
At this point, it was Zhao Yuhao's turn to lose face.
He reminded him, half-believing, half-doubting:
"Lin Yu, are you sure you've thought it through? Goods in this store cannot be returned!"
He was still suspicious, wondering if Lin Yu planned to buy them reluctantly first.
Then, when no one was around, secretly return the figures.
However.
His threatening reminder had no effect.
Lin Yu simply looked at the store manager: "Miss, can I pay by card?"
Store manager: "Yes, yes, handsome guy, beautiful lady, please wait here for a moment, I'll help you pack the figures."
Afterward.
Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi went to the counter, Chi Qingchi squeezing close to Lin Yu.
In a voice only they could hear, she anxiously said:
"Xiao Lin, are you crazy? You're actually buying figures worth over two thousand!"
"Is it that damned competitive spirit between guys?"
"Don't waste money fighting with Vice President Zhao, it's really not worth it."
"It's not too late to back out now. I'll say it, I'll say I don't like the one over two thousand, how about we just buy the other two?"
These words made Lin Yu think even more highly of Chi Qingchi.
Xiao Chi was a good person, and her values were quite sound.
She even knew to advise against wasting money just for the sake of pride.
It's just that she didn't know that today, to "slay the Evil Spirit Mister," this money had to be spent.
After the slaying, most of the expenses would be paid by the Evil Spirit Mister.
"Xiao Chi, let me tell you a secret, don't tell anyone, I recently made a small fortune."
Chi Qingchi had a bitter expression like someone who had been swindled, and she asked suspiciously:
"Really? Don't lie to me."
Lin Yu said confidently:
"Who could lie to you? Otherwise, where would I get so much money?"
"I wrote a novel online, it got a bit popular, and I earned a lot in royalties!"
Lin Yu found a somewhat plausible excuse, stopping Chi Qingchi's attempts to intervene.
Earning royalties from writing a novel wasn't unrealistic; it sounded quite reasonable.
Soon.
The female store owner personally packed the figures and came to the counter to check out Lin Yu and process his membership card.
Lin Yu took out the spirit stones stored in the system, and his balance became over four thousand.
After paying, he still had 【1524.62 yuan】 left.
On the membership card, every ten yuan earned one point, and one point was roughly equivalent to one yuan in redemption value.
This purchase earned two hundred and fifty-one points.
When registering for the membership and entering the phone number.
Lin Yu nudged Chi Qingshui beside him: "Phone number."
Chi Qingchi, surprised and excited, said: "Mine?"
Lin Yu: "Otherwise?"
Chi Qingchi bit her lip and hesitated: "Over two hundred points... you can exchange for many small gifts."
Lin Yu nodded: "I know, it's your reward, go have fun with it. When we go back, just help me with more massages every day, won't that be good?"
Hearing this, Chi Qingchi no longer hesitated, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
She happily said: "Thank you, Xiao Lin, hehe!"
【Ding!】
【Heavenly Show Operation: The desired gift is the strongest weapon to open the heart of a Zong You. The intimate relationship between the Hehuan Sect Bell Messenger and the Host has advanced to the fourth realm!】
【Reward: Spirit Stone 20】
Sure enough.
When giving gifts, you still have to give them to the other person's heart.
If he had directly given Chi Qingchi two hundred yuan, she definitely wouldn't have accepted it, nor would she have been happy.
Giving a points card not only got the money back but also elevated their intimacy level.
At this moment.
Looking at Chi Qingchi's information panel again: 【Intimacy Level with Host: 40% (Fourth Realm, Mutual Understanding)】.
Having mastered the score-boosting manual for the little homebody, breaking through to higher intimacy levels was merely a matter of time.
At the counter.
Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi's hands touched, shoulders brushed, completely disregarding the feelings of the others.
Zhao Yuhao stood between the shelves, staring blankly at the counter.
It was all ruined!
He had planned the plot, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to become the protagonist.
Some people look alive, but they've actually been gone for a while.
His companion Hao Qian, holding Zhou Yang's arm, continued to gossip:
"How is Zhao Yuhao going to explain this? Even a blind man can see they're a couple."
Zhou Yang had originally come to Spring Plaza with the mindset of watching a show and joining the fun.
Seeing Brother Hao being utterly defeated, he felt a bit of sadness, like a rabbit mourning a fox's death:
"Let's save Brother Hao some face, say less later."
【Ding!】
【Critical Hit: The Outlaw Evil Spirit Mister has been severely wounded by the Host and is already on his last breath. Please seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!】
【Reward: Spirit Stone 20】
Oh ho!
Not dead yet?
The Evil Spirit Mister is truly difficult to kill!
Is his psychological resilience that strong?
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then loudly pointed at Zhao Yuhao and said:
"Store manager sister, if it weren't for our Vice President Zhao's recommendation, I wouldn't have found such a great merchandise store like ours."
"Since I bought so much, can there be some freebies? To give to my recommender, Vice President Zhao."
"He's an old customer of your store. Can you give him a 99 Zoro, just like mine?"
Zhao Yuhao: "???"
Zhou Yang, Hao Qian: "???"
Killing... and tormenting the heart!
Chi Qingchi's "boyfriend" was too cruel.
The stunned Zhao Yuhao quickly waved his hand and said: "No need, no need."
However.
His reaction speed was still slower than the business-savvy store manager.
A 99 Zoro had already been placed in front of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu personally brought it to Zhao Yuhao, who then struggled fiercely: "Really no need, keep it for yourself."
Lin Yu generously said:
"Hey!"
"Why would I keep two identical ones?"
"Vice President Zhao, didn't you say you liked this one?"
Chi Qingchi quickly added another stab:
"That's right, Vice President Zhao, thank you for your recommendation today."
"It's free, please accept it, it's 'our' little token of appreciation."
Our token of appreciation...
Our...
Lin Yu's actions hadn't been that painful initially.
It was Chi Qingchi's words that were truly a sharp blade.
Stabbing directly into the heart!
Zhao Yuhao seemed to lose all his strength, taking the free gift like a walking corpse.
The small gift in his hand felt like carrying a huge mountain.
【Ding!】
【Heavy Critical Hit: The Outlaw Evil Spirit Mister's physical body has been destroyed, only a remnant soul of obsession remains. Not delivering a finishing blow may leave future trouble. Please seize the opportunity, Host!】
【Reward: Spirit Stone 20】
Lin Yu: "???"
What the hell is a remnant soul!
He's already like that, and you still want me to deliver another blow?
System, don't be too cruel.
Speaking of which.
Zhao Yuhao's perseverance was astonishing.
At this level, he still hadn't completely "fallen and his soul vanished"; it was almost like he needed a small movie played in front of him!
There was really no other way... time for the ultimate move!
Lin Yu very naturally took out his phone and casually opened a recent debit message.
He frowned with realistic acting and said:
"Ah, I almost forgot..."
"Xiao Chi, the water bill for our house is due."
"Let's go back, we need to pay the water bill before the property management closes for lunch."
