"Clap."
The massive bear paw slapped the switch, and the lights inside the Honey Spa flickered on.
The spa seemed to be a small two-story building. The lower level was lined with rows of honey, all amber-colored. Although each jar was covered, the sweet aroma filled the air.
Jiang Yi even noticed a few bees buzzing near the window.
The upper level had a circle of dark brown wooden railings, but Jiang Yi couldn't see what was inside.
As Jiang Yi walked in, he curiously looked around.
He had to admit, the inside of the spa was beyond his expectations. The spa's sign was old and dirty, and the Brown Bear Manager seemed a bit clumsy... no, adorably clumsy...
Inside, it was much cleaner and tidier than Jiang Yi had imagined!
Even the rows of honey jars were aligned perfectly—the depth of the jars and the labels with the Brown Bear's face were all on the same plane. Under the lights, the glass jars emitted a uniform, lustrous glow.
Jiang Yi didn't hold back his praise, raising a thumb to compliment the Brown Bear Manager:
"The hygiene on the first floor is quite impressive."
[Brown Bear Manager Affinity +1
Current Affinity with Brown Bear Manager: 13]
The affinity increased again.
The Brown Bear Manager bashfully patted Jiang Yi's shoulder, "Hehe!"
Jiang Yi's shoulder once again creaked under the weight.

Jiang Yi: "..."
He discreetly freed his arm from the Brown Bear Manager's grip, his dark eyes shifting slightly as he cleared his throat.
"Ahem, Manager, the hygiene is indeed good... So, shall we proceed with the product inspection? Is now a convenient time for you?"
Jiang Yi showed no outward signs, but internally, he was starting to feel nervous.
According to his job description, a Quality Inspector could indeed check the quality of products, but he didn't know the exact process and could only take it one step at a time.
Fortunately, the Brown Bear Manager didn't suspect a thing!
He just seemed a bit nervous!
The Brown Bear Manager nodded, "Alright, I'll get the products for Inspector Jiang right away!"
Jiang Yi was overjoyed!
—These inspected products definitely couldn't be sold to customers, and the system didn't specify how to handle them, so without a doubt—
These could all go into his own pocket!
Isn't this just—
Getting free goods?!
The Brown Bear Manager told Jiang Yi he could look around while he fetched the products. Although Jiang Yi was eager about the soon-to-be-acquired goods, he didn't dare show too much excitement. So, he decided to wander upstairs.
Thump, thump, thump.
As Jiang Yi stepped onto the second floor, he discovered a massage bed?
Next to the massage bed was another row of honey, slightly different in color from the ones below.
Curious, Jiang Yi picked one up to take a look:
[Special Honey Essential Oil]
Using it grants: Fatigue -20, Strength +1, Stamina +1, Agility +1; when combined with the Brown Bear Manager's exclusive massage technique, grants Fatigue -50, Strength +3, Stamina +3, Agility +3; continuous use will have diminishing returns, refresh time depends on personal condition.
What a treasure!
Absolutely a treasure!
Jiang Yi shouted down, "Manager, the essential oils upstairs are also for sale, they need to be inspected too!"
The Brown Bear Manager downstairs didn't respond immediately.
Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, could it be...
Fortunately, after a few seconds;
"Alright, Inspector Jiang, please help bring them down!"
Instantly, Jiang Yi beamed with joy!
He smiled like a child, innocent and carefree!
Truly, fortune favors the bold!
Jiang Yi took three bottles downstairs, unsure of the inspection quantity, he didn't dare take too many.
Holding the special essential oils, Jiang Yi circled the second floor. Besides the massage bed, there were a few closed doors, which seemed to be the Brown Bear's living quarters. Jiang Yi only glanced briefly before leaving the second floor.
Downstairs, the Brown Bear had already organized the products for this month's inspection.
Seeing Jiang Yi and the three bottles of massage oil in his hand, the Brown Bear was momentarily stunned. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Jiang Yi paused;
Did he take too many?
Feeling a bit anxious inside, Jiang Yi forced a smile, just about to feign calmness and make an excuse about being new and not knowing the inspection quantity, when he heard a notification sound:
[Brown Bear Manager Affinity +10
Current Affinity with Brown Bear Manager: 23]
...Huh?
Jiang Yi was bewildered.
Did he do something?
Jiang Yi looked at the Brown Bear in confusion, only to see the towering two-and-a-half-meter creature wiping its eyes with a paw.
Jiang Yi's mind went blank.
What happened?
"Inspector Jiang, you... you really are, sob, a good inspector!"
Jiang Yi was even more confused.
"Previous inspectors would take 1/5 of the products each time... I, I don't mind the inspection! But, but this is a small business, profits aren't much..."
"Sob, Inspector Jiang... no, Brother Jiang, you're too kind to me!!!"
—There were at least fifty bottles of massage oil on the second floor, and Jiang Yi only took three! Compared to other inspectors, Jiang Yi was really considerate!
Thinking of this, the Brown Bear wiped another tear.
...
...
On the stairs, Jiang Yi was completely stunned.
Damn.
No one told him?
He could actually take that much?!
Damn it, the system tricked him again!!!
