Chapter 218 What are you talking about?
When the three people were about to enter the supermarket entrance, a dummy in work uniform immediately stepped forward to remind them: "Please redeem the shopping voucher first, and then enter the supermarket to shop."
The sound came from a small speaker on the dummy's chest, with a distinctive electrical rustling sound.
However, the three of them ignored him and walked in directly.
The dummy didn't stop.
As expected, just as Luo Xi had discovered before, the dummy employee's statements did not have to be followed.
If you really comply, you may suffer losses.
After entering the supermarket, the layout inside is no different from that of an ordinary large supermarket.
The only difference is the merchandise on the shelves.
"What, what is this?" An Zhiyan stared at the goods on the shelf with wide eyes, then took a deep breath, lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, then looked over again.
There were all kinds of cards on the shelves.
There are many varieties and the selection is dazzling.
As a person who collects memories, it is impossible not to know the importance of cards. To a certain extent, every day of each cycle, one constantly challenges various levels and scenes, with the purpose of obtaining cards. Some people even do everything they can to obtain cards, almost to the point of madness.
The reason is very simple. First of all, the prerequisite for becoming a memory collector is to have [memory], which is the key to resetting and preserving memory on a daily basis.
In addition to [Memory], there are also various cards with extraordinary abilities, spells, curses, weapons, and strange creatures.
Each one is an important prop for the Memory Pickers to challenge level scenes and fight for survival.
No one can deny this.
So anyone would be stunned if they suddenly saw so many cards on the shelf, and then have an irresistible urge to pick them up.
But after a closer look, I found that these cards were a little different.
"[Apple juice]? In a large barrel, ingredients: unknown, origin: unknown. Weight: 2.5 kg!"
"【Compressed biscuits】, ingredients: unknown, origin: unknown. Weight: 0.1 kg."
"[Tonton instant noodles], bone broth flavor, extra large. Weight: 0.675 kg."
“[Chubby Soda].”
"Luo Xi, these cards are all commodities, and all commodities have specific descriptions, but the weight is the same, all are marked in 'kilograms'. This may be related to the 'shopping cart' card book in our hands."
"Also, the price of [apple juice] is 20 points of shopping coupons, [compressed biscuits] is 12 points of shopping coupons, and [TonTon instant noodles] is 27 points of shopping coupons."
Now the three of them don't have any shopping coupons and can't afford anything.
In the distance, a person named Shi Yi walked by and saw Luo Xi and the other two, but ignored them completely.
This is a good thing, which means that the memory-seekers in the supermarket basically do not interfere with each other.
"Let's walk around first and familiarize ourselves with the terrain and environment." Luo Xi said.
The information he had previously obtained from the senior person was very limited, and he could only rely on himself to explore step by step. This process could not be avoided unless the people who collected memories here took the initiative to pass on their experience, but obviously, there is no free lunch in the world.
Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan both carried out Luo Xi's instructions seriously without any objections.
From the moment they decided to enter the 'Yongge Supermarket', they had already assumed that Luo Xi was the captain of their three-person team.
Yongge Supermarket is very large, and because we already know that the Shiyi people are not allowed to attack each other here, that is to say, there is no 'killing mode' here, so it is better for the three of them to explore separately, otherwise the efficiency will be too low if they act together.
Luo Xi chose the middle passage, while Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan went to the two sides.
There are shopping racks on both sides of the aisle, with various cards on display, but they are all unique "commodity cards" here, which are the commodities that can be seen in supermarkets, including food, beverages and daily necessities.
"The weight of the corresponding shopping cart card book will be different depending on the shopping cart you choose, and the product cards here all have weights. In other words, one of the ways to play Yongge Supermarket is related to weight!"
This speculation is almost certain.
But I just don't know what the specific weight rules are.
"There are also shopping points. The redemption machine at the door is a rip-off, but if you can't find other ways to get points in the supermarket, you can only choose to redeem them there. However, according to the clues that the person just accidentally revealed, there is a more cost-effective place to redeem shopping points in the supermarket."
At this time, Luo Xi found a dog in front of him.
The dog owner also put a piece of clothing on the dog, but the dog owner was not seen, only the dog.
The breed was probably a Labrador, off-white in color, and it was currently looking at him with its head tilted.
Luo Xi also looked at the dog.
The next moment, the dog pounced on him.
Luo Xi didn't move. He stared at the dog because he couldn't sense any hostility from it.
When it got closer, the dog circled around Luo Xi and sniffed him.
"Wang!"
He called out, then skillfully took out a strip of cloth from his pocket. There was a small rolled-up paper tube tied to the strip of cloth.
"You want to give it to me?" Luo Xi looked at the dog wagging its tail and reached out to take the strip of cloth.
"Wang Wang!"
After barking once, the dog ran away.
Luo Xi looked at the rolled-up paper in his hand, untied the cloth strip, unfolded it, and saw a stack of shopping coupons, five of them, each with a denomination of 100 points!
It turned out to be a shopping voucher!
Luo Xi was a little confused. Just now, a dog gave him 500 shopping vouchers?
"Everyone who comes here for the first time will receive a 500-point shopping voucher from the supermarket. There's nothing strange about it. You can use it with confidence." At this time, a voice sounded from the side.
There was a person sitting on the ground over there, looking a little decadent, with messy hair, and a pair of eyes staring straight at Luo Xi. One could tell from the other person that he had an extremely depressed and inexplicable emotion.
There was a half-drunk bottle of mineral water on the ground next to him. The man was sitting casually, with one hand on the ground, as if he had been sitting here for some time, with a little stubble on his face. The other hand was hidden behind his back, and it seemed that half of his body was shaking. I don't know if he was sick or uncomfortable. "Thank you!" Luo Xi nodded.
He did not know before that he could get shopping points when entering a supermarket for the first time.
"The prerequisite for receiving new member points is to select a shopping cart, and the weight of the shopping cart means the upper limit of the corresponding weight of cards that can be purchased. I believe you have already figured this out, but please note that there is a setting for 'hunger level', which means that you will get thirsty and hungry very easily, but you can buy food cards to replenish it."
There is something wrong with this person.
It’s hard to say for what purpose.
All human behavior has internal motivations, let alone in a place like this. If you talk to a stranger who is collecting memories, there must be an ulterior motive. It can't be for the sense of accomplishment after helping others, right?
"So if I choose product cards that match the weight of the shopping cart, can I check out and leave?" Luo Xi thought for a moment and asked.
"You go and try it!" The other party smiled and seemed not to intend to reveal any more information.
The other person's smile was forced, and it was obvious that he didn't really want to smile.
Luo Xi nodded again and continued walking forward. The man's voice came again.
"This supermarket is filled with the smell of desire. Can you smell it?"
"desire?"
Luo Xi looked back at this time and saw that the man had stood up with his back to him and walked in another direction.
His figure was stout and he looked lonely, which was not in keeping with his age.
The man walked to the front shelf, turned a corner, and stopped at the side. His expression was no longer as calm as before.
ferocious!
He couldn't help shaking.
There was a piece of flesh on the back that was scratched by fingernails and covered with blood.
This is what he just caught himself.
That is to forcibly control the emotions that can no longer be suppressed, just like a volcano that is about to erupt but is suppressed abruptly, but that can only delay it, and it will still erupt when it is time to erupt.
Moreover, the destructive power will be even greater.
The man reached out and grabbed his own hair, exerting force with his fingers and staring with his eyes wide open like a ferocious beast.
"Why, why are you here?"
"You didn't recognize me. Did you lose your memory? How is that possible? How could you lose your memory?"
"Can someone explain to me why this is happening?"
A mixture of fear, anger, confusion and almost madness kept colliding with this man, causing him to feel great pain. His intestines began to cramp violently, causing him to hunch over and veins on his neck bulged. Just by looking at him, one could feel that he was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, his nails pierced into his scalp fiercely, and the severe pain prevented him from collapsing directly.
Calmness and rationality are slowly returning.
"You've already left, you [escaped] this place, but you still appeared, as a 'newcomer', which means you failed. So, was it because there was a problem with the [escape], or did some other accident happen?"
"Or maybe, all of this is just a lie of yours?"
He loosened his hands that were tightly grasping his hair, not caring at all about the blood flowing from his forehead and the even more messy hair.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart!
At this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes had lost their previous charm, and he was like a walking corpse.
"It's meaningless. If even you who can find the way to escape fail, who else can escape? Who else can break this invisible confinement? What was the purpose of everything I did before? In the end, I will still lose my memory, lose everything, and become a pathetic bug!"
"Hehe, hehehe!"
He began to laugh, at first it was just a suppressed laugh with clenched teeth, but it soon turned into a wild laugh, and his eyes had charm again, but this time, there was only madness after despair.
It is impossible for a person to fall into despair and change his mood in a short period of time.
All it can be said is that the emotions of despair and confusion have been accumulating and tormenting him for a long time, and this time, it was just a trigger, a spark that ignited the explosives.
"Perhaps those guys from the Eternal Society are the ones who are truly awake. Here, high-level memory restorers have already achieved immortality. We have everything. Those low-level memory restorers and those who have lost their memory are nothing more than ants to us. We are gods. What's wrong with being gods?"
"What's wrong with that?"
“Lin Yixuan!”
At this time, a woman's voice sounded beside him, interrupting the man's mumbling.
The man turned his head and sneered, "An Zhiyan, why are you here?"
"Finally found you." An Zhiyan walked over with a look of joy, then a solemn expression: "You haven't shown up for more than three days. People in the association are saying all kinds of things. People are panicking now. You don't know that some people in the association want to seize power, and some want to set up their own factions. I can't control it by myself, but if I can find you, the problem can be solved."
"The Awakener Association?" This person was Lin Yixuan, but at this moment he looked very different from the leader that An Zhiyan was familiar with, who could always remain wise and calm.
Like a different person.
"I remember now. That group of trash is just a bunch of burdens. They can do whatever they want. Why do you care what they do?" Lin Yixuan waved his hands impatiently.
An Zhiyan was shocked.
She blinked, thinking she had heard it wrongly.
"Lin Yixuan, what are you talking about?"
