"Jiang, what's wrong? You look terrible."
The Brown Bear noticed Jiang Yi seemed to be frozen in place and asked with concern.
Jiang Yi snapped back to reality, gritting his teeth, "Nothing, just a bit tired from work."
Hearing this, the Brown Bear nodded, his voice deep, "I understand, you have to inspect so many products, it must be exhausting."
"Jiang, you're working hard!"
"How about this, I'll give you a full body massage with essential oils later!"
As soon as he said that, Jiang Yi immediately shook off his previous mood and smiled, "That sounds great, my arms are sore, I've been wanting to experience an authentic Brown Bear massage!"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
After cursing the damn system and game a few more times in his mind, Jiang Yi nodded and walked down the stairs, looking at the products on the table that the Brown Bear had organized for inspection.
He battled internally for a few seconds before finally saying, "There are too many products, just sample 8 cans, uh, 10 cans will do."
As he said this, Jiang Yi felt like his heart was bleeding.
How was this any different from taking money out of his own pocket?
But he had already established his persona and built up affinity, so he had to see it through to the end.
Besides, considering the massage service from the Brown Bear, this was a long-term investment, not a loss!
Even so, Jiang Yi's eyes couldn't help but linger on the thirty-something cans of honey in front of him.
These...
Were all potential gains...
"!"
The Brown Bear was startled!
[Brown Bear Manager Affinity +10]
[Current Affinity with Brown Bear Manager: 33]
"Great! I won't be polite then, Jiang, you should come often!"
"Mm!"
Under the Brown Bear Manager's watchful gaze, Jiang Yi began his performance in the carriage with only one inspection bed.
Since the carriage was closed, Jiang Yi didn't have to worry about the Brown Bear Manager discovering anything.
Inside the carriage.
Jiang Yi put 10 cans of honey and 3 bottles of essential oil into his backpack, then started to daze.
—He couldn't just go in and come out immediately; inspections don't happen that fast.
Jiang Yi sat on the metal table, resting his chin on his hand;
Perhaps for the convenience of inspection, the inspection table was very high, and even though Jiang Yi wasn't short at 178 cm, his feet still couldn't touch the ground.
Jiang Yi opened the Regional Chat Channel:
[Dragon Nation Region 189, Zone 999 (99616/100000)]
Jiang Yi paused slightly, the number of people had decreased!
Compared to the first day of the Newbie Adaptation Period, the death toll had skyrocketed!
It seemed the danger of the treasure chests was higher than he had imagined!
His Silver Treasure Chest only had a mouse, probably because it was a system reward!
Jiang Yi reminded himself silently.
In the chat interface, many players were talking about the treasure chests they opened today:
Player [Tiga, Give Back the Light I Lent You]: "Good news, I found a Bronze Treasure Chest, and there were no monsters inside; bad news, damn it, I got medicine: Dinggui Belly Patch and Digestive Tablets."
Jiang Yi almost laughed out loud when he saw this message.
What a talent, brother!
Dinggui Belly Patch is still okay, at least it can treat stomach and diarrhea, but Digestive Tablets, really couldn't hold it.
Apparently, this wasn't the only unlucky person.
Player [0923]: "I got a can of pickles... fuck, I'm almost out of water, I don't dare touch this stuff!"
Player [China's Little Princess]: "Who opened a live octopus?!! What kind of place likes to eat this? At first glance, I thought there were two monsters inside!"
Besides the unlucky ones, there were also people looking for others.
"Ningning, are you there? It's your brother!" Player [I'm Anxious]
"If the person above is looking for a sister, then I'm looking for my dad! Dad, it's your kid, we're out of food at home, the kid's gonna starve." Player [Ma Chao in the Flesh]
"Son, hang in there!" Player [Identity V, Launch]
"Screw you!"
...
Player [Guojiao Outhouse]: "The car's out of gas, can't move at all, any brother got some gas, lend me a bit, I can trade food for it!"
Perhaps because it was the second day and treasure chests had started to refresh, the Trading Hall finally had some transactions, although the volume was extremely limited.
Jiang Yi opened the [Trading Hall] again for a look, most of the resources weren't very interesting—
Water, food, and batteries he still had a bit of, not too urgent for now, but these basic supplies were always better to have more!
For water, Jiang Yi still preferred to make the Water Condenser as soon as possible;
With the honey reserves from this batch, he didn't have to worry too much about food;
As for batteries, the more the better!
If only there were solar-powered devices, that would help alleviate the power shortage problem.
You can't become a big shot overnight, it takes time.
Jiang Yi marked three items in the [Trading Hall] for sale: batteries, flour, and yeast.
With flour and yeast, the former can be mixed with water to make dough; add the latter, and you can make steamed buns!
Jiang Yi felt a bit lucky about his good fortune, having opened an electric forklift, the socket could directly connect with his electric cooker, just add water to steam buns!
—Although Jiang Yi's cooking skills weren't professional level, they were decent among ordinary people.
Thanks to his solo cooking skills, his [Humanities Graduate Survives on 300 Yuan a Month] vlog was doing quite well—
Even though most of the comments praised his voice and hands.
...
This face-value world.

After waiting another five minutes, Jiang Yi finally kicked off and lightly jumped down from the inspection table.
The modified forklift's rear compartment wasn't very high, Jiang Yi could see the outside scene through the side window of the compartment.
The Brown Bear Manager's paws were rubbing back and forth on his apron, looking very nervous.
"Almost done..."
Jiang Yi muttered.
"Bang"
The compartment opened, Jiang Yi jumped down from it and walked towards the Brown Bear Manager.
"Jiang, how, how is it?"
The Brown Bear Manager quickly jogged a couple of steps, coming closer.
Jiang Yi smiled, and under the Brown Bear's nervous gaze, he said, "The products have been inspected, all qualified!"
Pausing, Jiang Yi added, "They all meet the standard of premium products."
—He had just opened a can and tasted a bit, and had to admit, the Brown Bear Manager had some skill!
This was simply the best honey Jiang Yi had ever tasted!
As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, suddenly, a ball of white light appeared in front of the Brown Bear Manager;
Whoosh!
A badge fell down, it was a green badge with the word [Premium] on it!
At the same time, the game notification sounded:
[Level 1 Quality Inspector: Jiang Yi; this inspection is valid.]
[Received positive feedback from Brown Bear Manager, performance pay for this inspection: 5 Car Coins.]
The badge slowly descended, and the Brown Bear Manager, too focused, ended up cross-eyed!
(◑▽◐)
After rubbing his eyes, the Brown Bear Manager caught the badge with one paw.
"It's [Premium]! Great!"
The Brown Bear Manager couldn't help but chuckle a few more times, his paw seemed about to pat Jiang Yi's shoulder, but Jiang Yi swiftly moved, placing his hand on the Brown Bear's...
Waist.
If this bear had a waist.
"Congratulations!"
Jiang Yi grinned.
So this was roughly how the Quality Inspector's workflow went!
Select sample products for inspection, bring them back to the inspection vehicle for testing, provide product evaluation, the system reviews it, and issues valid evaluations and pay!
Damn system, the job content and process all rely on players to figure out themselves!
And this pay is too low, only 5 Car Coins.
He just checked, a can of honey sells for 3 Car Coins...
Which means, with Jiang Yi's current savings, buying two cans of honey would bankrupt him!
