Thriller copy beating workers

The owner of the grocery store is a middle-aged woman in her fifties, with a thin build, dark skin, and a very cold expression.

The customer takes something from the shelf and hands the item and a translucent bank card-like card to the other person.

The boss puts the items and cards under a machine on the counter at the same time, scans them, and then pushes the items and cards to the customer at the same time.

Two or three customers in a row used their cards to make transactions, then took the items they needed and left.

Not a single word was exchanged during the whole process, and all transactions were done using cards. It was probably similar to the bank cards in Shu Xin's original world, and the amount was deducted directly from it.

And Shu Xin also noticed that these people basically buy bread, water, self-service lunch boxes, and salt.

And this kind of finished food is the most popular on the shelves.

Shu Xin felt a little depressed and a little disappointed, and asked Su Su the time in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Just now, I have spent more than ten minutes observing the life behavior of people in this world.

She had to find a place to live before five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only one chance of accommodation. Once she used the only recommendation credit in her hand, she would definitely reimburse her here.

After all, the red light law that has invaded her body is second only to the law of commanding heights, and she, a little second-level employee, has no power to fight back.

Shu Xin looked around, observing other shops on Jie Road and the situation across the street.

It's a pity that they are basically small shops like this.

People were also silent, doing things like robots in a routine.

Just as she was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from the grocery store: "The basic balance is insufficient. Do you want to continue buying?"

Shu Xin looked up and saw that the boss had swept away his indifferent expression and stared at the somewhat fat middle-aged man in front of him with burning eyes.

The voice is deep and slightly hoarse.

A trace of panic flashed across the middle-aged man's face, and he said loudly: "It's not impossible. I just mortgaged an outsider to you the day before yesterday and only purchased primary energy bread twice. How can it be possible that the balance is insufficient?"

The boss's expression remained calm, but he looked at the man as if he were looking at a piece of merchandise. "The balance is insufficient. Do you want to continue purchasing?"

The middle-aged man seemed to be very afraid. His lips moved and he mumbled something, but he never dared to say it out loud.

He just reluctantly took out a bottle of energy drink.

The boss put the remaining items and cards into the machine again for scanning, and then pushed them to the man.

The man left with two loaves of bread in transparent boxes.

When Shu Xin came back to her senses, she found that her back seemed to be wet with sweat.

"Mortgage an outsider?"

She is an outsider now. Fortunately, she didn't chat with anyone casually just now, otherwise she would have been tricked into it somehow.

After all, the rules here are different from before. Who knows if a person you meet by chance will deliberately dig a hole for you?

Shu Xin kept standing nearby and observing. The boss didn't seem to care at all that she just didn't buy it.

After the boss saw off the guests, Shu Xin walked forward with some anxiety and asked cautiously: "Hello boss, may I ask...how to recharge here? Can I buy something if I don't have that kind of card?"

The boss said without raising his head: "People here have been carrying the card since they were born, and all their consumption and earnings in their lives are on it. If you are an outsider, you can give me a letter of introduction and I will apply for one for you."

After saying that, the boss quickly added: "That is the life card of the residents of Taoyuan Town, and it is also the status symbol of permanent residence here. As long as you have the card, you can directly swipe it to enter any community."

Ask for a letter of introduction when you open your mouth?

Shu Xin asked: "Except for the letter of introduction, are other items okay? I mean, these things you are selling here, do you need to collect them?" It was impossible for Shu Xin to just take out the letter of introduction, but I saved a cubic meter of items, most of which were food and water.

It would be great if I could exchange food for some currency of this world.

When she asked this, she was prepared to be scolded by the other party.

However, it does not.

The boss looked up at her abruptly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and finally said: "I can apply for a temporary trading card for you, but you have to agree to one condition."

Shu Xin felt happy, but when she heard the other party's conditions, she became wary: "Tell me about it."

Boss: "Tomorrow night, you will stay at my house all night."

Shu Xin was about to refuse. She didn't know the other person at all. Although he looked like an ordinary grocery store owner, who knew whether he was pretending to be a pig but actually was a powerful boss with extraordinary means. Lure her onto her turf and it clicks.

Just like the middle-aged man just now, he directly sold an outsider and turned it into currency.

The boss pushed a piece of paper directly in front of her without waiting for her to speak, "You can read it first before talking."

Shu Xin temporarily suppressed the impulse in her heart and stared at the paper in front of her.

This is a power of attorney.

To be precise, it was her boss who asked her to stay at home for six hours.

The reward is to give Shu Xin a chance to temporarily trade cards. Of course, the amount of money in it still needs to be obtained through his own labor and material exchange.

The boss added: "This is a contract protected by the rules of Taoyuan Town. Except that you need to stay at my house between twelve o'clock in the evening and six o'clock in the morning tomorrow, and only stay at home, I will not do anything to you." Other than that, you don’t have to do anything.”

Shu Xin thought to herself that she had been brought to this world by the other party through the energy vortex. The rules here were so strict. She didn't think that just anyone here could create a different space. That way, people here wouldn't be so depressed.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the other party uses her to accomplish something within this period of time, it is reasonable.

Of course, if you have no use value at all, why should others let you go to their home? Why should I apply for a trading card for you?

Shu Xin only hesitated briefly before agreeing.

There was no need to sign on it, she just asked Shu Xin to press it directly.

Shu Xin pressed it, and the boss also pressed it, and the paper flew up automatically, split into two parts in the air, and one part flew to the boss and disappeared.

The other part flew straight to Shu Xin's heart, and then merged into the red light of the town's laws.

The boss didn't lie. He was really protected and bound by the rules of the town.

After the contract was completed, the boss's originally gloomy face seemed to relax a lot, and she stretched out a hand towards Shu Xin.

Shu Xin was stunned for a moment.

"food."

"Oh, okay." Shu Xin came to her senses and pretended to take out three pieces of bread and two bottles of water from her backpack and put them on the counter.

When the boss saw that the other party took these things out of the bag easily, a strange look flashed across his face, and his face immediately became filled with joy.

She put the bread and water into the machine, and in a moment, the goods disappeared.

If you look carefully, you will find that there are three more loaves of bread and two bottles of water on the shelf, but they have changed to the style here, and they are on the high-end energy food shelf.
