"You brat, you disappeared for two whole days! Yo… you're even carrying a duffel bag! Don't tell me you went out scavenging for bargains again?" Chen Yuxuan shot back at Wang Xiaofei without holding back.
"It was just some small-time stuff, nothing worth mentioning. How could it compare to Boss Chen's huge operation? I still have a lot to learn from you!" Wang Xiaofei said modestly.
"Stop—cut it out with the nonsense! There's a major internal overhaul in the shop today. All shopping machines are suspended, and business won't resume until tomorrow! Pretty unlucky for you to run into this, huh?" Chen Yuxuan told Wang Xiaofei honestly.
"Huh… how could this happen? I haven't eaten a single thing since morning!" Wang Xiaofei said, putting on a pitiful act.
"Enough already! Fine… come in first and exchange your stuff, then we'll talk!" After saying that, Chen Yuxuan walked straight into the shop without looking back. Wang Xiaofei followed him inside.
"Wow… Boss Chen! I've only been gone for two days, and the changes inside the shop are huge!" The moment Wang Xiaofei entered, he was stunned and couldn't help exclaiming.
At the same time, he thought to himself—this Shiduo shop was way too magical! From the outside, it looked exactly the same as before, but the interior space had expanded by several times over.
Chen Yuxuan didn't pay him any mind and walked straight toward the [Gold Coin Exchange Machine] beside the counter.
Seeing that Chen Yuxuan wasn't saying anything, Wang Xiaofei could only follow behind. This time, he had brought jewelry and accessories as well. After all, in the current state of the world, these things couldn't fill anyone's stomach, so no one bothered to fight over them—making them cheap gains for him. In the end, this bag of jewelry was exchanged for 780 gold coins.
Last time, Huang Tianba's box of gold bars had exchanged for more than eight thousand gold coins, while Wang Xiaofei's bag of jewelry only fetched a little over seven hundred this time. No one knew how the system calculated the exchange rate—this gap was just too big.
"Since you're a decent guy, I did a ten-pull on the blind box machine earlier! I only opened one at the time, and there are still nine left…" Chen Yuxuan hadn't even finished speaking.
"Boss… then sell them to me! As long as the price isn't too outrageous, I can accept it," Wang Xiaofei interrupted eagerly.
"Sell your head! Haven't you read the shop rules on the display board next to the entrance? 'All supplies purchased in the shop are strictly forbidden from being resold to others. Violators will be blacklisted.'"
"You'd better memorize every single rule carefully. Otherwise, if you get blacklisted, you won't even be able to step within half a step of Youjian Shiduo ever again!" Chen Yuxuan scolded sharply as he smacked Wang Xiaofei on the head.
Wang Xiaofei rubbed his aching head, but there was no resentment in his heart. If Chen Yuxuan didn't care about him, he wouldn't bother lecturing a stranger so earnestly.
However, when he heard the latter half of Chen Yuxuan's words, his heart couldn't help but tighten. He really hadn't paid much attention to the shop rules before, thinking they were just for show. Who would have thought the consequences were this serious?
Luckily, he had never thought about reselling supplies. If he really couldn't enter Youjian Shiduo anymore, he wouldn't survive at all…
"Alright, don't look like you're attending a funeral! Just remember it from now on." Seeing Wang Xiaofei standing there with his head lowered in silence, Chen Yuxuan couldn't bear to scold him further and spoke to comfort him.
"Although the shop rules forbid reselling, they never said you can't give things away. For now, I'll give you these blind boxes to use. Next time you come, just give them back to me," Chen Yuxuan continued.
Wang Xiaofei, who had been standing there silently with his head down, trembled when he heard those words. He slowly lifted his head—his eyes were already red and moist…
