Chapter 11: Being Scammed?
【 Wow, so many things! 】
Tu You excitedly flew around, watching Sang Chu construct spatial layers and then organize things.
After the two formed a contract, their visions were shared, allowing Tu You to see everything within Sang Chu’s space.
【 These can regenerate, which is quite good. I have Wood Element Supernatural Ability, so I’ll try to accelerate the growth of these plants when I get back. 】
Tu You: 【 Then let’s hurry back! 】
【 No rush, I’ll go buy some clean water sources first. 】
Sang Chu stood up from the steps and walked towards the Water Source Shop nearby.
The owners of the Water Source Shop were a young couple, and their eyes lit up as soon as they saw Sang Chu:
“Customer, are you looking for water sources? Come and see our water storage devices. These are all high-level goods. Look here, look at this one. This is the latest storage device made from new energy stones. It can regulate water temperature and store about 140 cubic meters of water.”
Seeing Sang Chu frown slightly, the young woman directly took her hand. “If you don’t like the one my husband recommended, how about this one? This is an old-fashioned water storage device. It’s cheap and affordable, but it doesn’t store much water. But it’s cheap, and you can buy more when it runs out!”
Sang Chu somewhat reluctantly pushed the female boss’s hand away. “How many Star Coins for the new energy one, and how many for the old-fashioned one?”
The male boss glanced at the female boss. They tacitly said, “This new energy water storage device uses the latest light energy ore, which is rare and hard to come by. And don’t let this small sphere fool you, it has a 140 cubic meter water reservoir inside. Even though it’s so good, it only costs eight hundred and eighty thousand Star Coins. Very cheap, right!”
Sang Chu: “What about the old-fashioned one?”
The female boss said with a smile, “Although the old-fashioned one isn’t as large as the new energy one, it can still hold twenty to thirty cubic meters. It just can’t regulate water temperature, but it’s very cheap, only ten thousand Star Coins.”
Sang Chu didn’t speak, but searched on her optical computer for places selling water sources. However, it seemed there was only this one in the entire City A.
Tu You flew in front of Sang Chu. Taking advantage of the fact that others couldn’t see it, it directly flew behind the counter and saw, “Hmph, so it’s a scam shop!”
【 A Chu, this shop is haunted! They’re all liars. They don’t actually sell these light energy water storage devices at all!! 】
Sang Chu frowned slightly and asked: 【 What did you see? 】
【 I saw their procurement list. They have a total of three new energy water storage devices, but they’ve sold over a dozen. They’re definitely selling fake goods! 】
Sang Chu: 【 So, you’re saying these new energy water storage devices are real? 】
Tu You nodded: 【 That’s true. 】
Sang Chu was silent for a moment.
They were real, but they sold the new energy ones and replaced them with something else, yet no one complained. This shop was still the only water source shop in the entire City A. They probably had backing.
As expected, there are disgusting things like this everywhere!
Seeing Sang Chu not speaking, the female boss couldn’t help but say, “Little sister, do you want to buy it? I only have a few of these new energy water storage devices left. Once they’re sold, they’re gone!”
“Boss, I don’t have many Star Coins left. Give me an old-fashioned one first.”
“Okay, no problem. Wait here for me, I’ll get it ready for you right away. Husband, take the money.”
The boss’s wife called out softly, and the young man beside her immediately responded loudly, “Alright, big sister, come this way.”
He led Su Bai towards the counter on the right. The boss’s wife used a key to open the warehouse door and immediately closed it after entering.
She dragged out a bucket from a corner and rummaged through it.
“Another poor ghost. I’ll find you an old one this time!”
Tu You looked at the untrustworthy boss and wished it could bite them.
【 A Chu, she’s not even giving you an old one, the one she’s finding for you probably doesn’t have clean water in it!!!! 】
Hearing Tu You’s exasperated voice, Sang Chu said: 【 It’s okay. Didn’t you say you have a small space after we contracted? Ten thousand Star Coins to enter the warehouse. You can directly fill your small warehouse. Anyway, the water storage device isn’t big, so give it to me after you come out. 】
Tu You excitedly flapped its ears. 【 Right! How did I not think of that? I’ll pack things after she goes out. Since the ones in the wooden bucket are all old stock, I’ll pack the ones on the shelf! 】
【 Yes, you can pack some old stock too. It’s never too many water storage devices. The mercenary dormitory has pipes connected to the water reservoir building. It’s good to wash the old ones and fill them with water. Take all of their new energy ones. 】
Hearing Sang Chu’s words, Tu You couldn’t help but laugh: 【 I thought you were a good person! 】
【 Good is relative. If they did business with integrity, I would pay, but they don’t. They tried to cheat me even on an old water source, so what’s wrong with me stealing from them! 】
Tu You: 【 Mhmm, I’ll wait until you’re far away to steal, so I don’t affect you. 】
【 Okay. 】
While they were talking, the male boss had already prepared the receipt. When Sang Chu took the water storage device handed over by the female boss and wanted to inspect it, she grabbed both of her hands.
“Sister, look, it’s getting dark. Your big brother and I have to go pick up the children from the mercenary academy. This water storage device is definitely good, so don’t look at it. Go back now, we’re closing up.”
Sang Chu said with difficulty, “But how will I know if the water source inside is clean without checking?”
“Clean, absolutely clean. We’ve been running this shop for so many years, would we lie to you for such a small amount? Go, go, let’s go outside so your big brother can close the door.”
The female boss directly pulled Sang Chu out the door, pushed her aside, and then watched as her husband closed the door before they walked away hand in hand in the opposite direction.
Sang Chu walked expressionlessly towards the mercenary dormitory under everyone’s gaze.
She inspected the water storage device. The reservoir inside had already grown moss, and there were bugs in the water. She didn’t know how long it had been there, which made Sang Chu’s face darken.
【 Youyou, don’t take the discarded water storage devices. They’re full of moss and dirt and are hard to clean. Take a look when you get them, and only take them if the water storage device is clean. 】
Tu You: 【 No way! These two are too outrageous! They’re actually un-cleanable water storage devices! 】
It thought at most the water would be old and not clean, but it didn’t expect it to be stagnant water!
And the water storage device is un-cleanable!
【 Okay, A Chu, wait for me. I’ll be done soon. They’re back, I can’t talk anymore, I need to pack things quickly! 】
【 Okay, I’ll head back to the mercenary dormitory first. Come find me later. 】
【 Mhmm! 】
“Husband, when do you think that little girl will realize she bought a discarded water storage device! Hahaha~~”
“Who cares? We got ten thousand Star Coins anyway, let’s have a good meal tonight!”
“Mhmm, this idiot actually came to buy a water storage device. Without official paperwork, who would give her good stuff? Oh right, since we’ve already sold something, should we just close up and go home?”
“Okay, wait for me a moment. We’ll go home after we pack up.”
As soon as Tu You heard they were leaving, it quickly stuffed everything on the shelf into its belly and quietly flew away.
