Qi Xu discovered that this Rose Tea was a great thing; finishing a single cup actually added two points of Health.
A thought stirred in Qi Xu’s mind. “This Rose Tea is delicious. Do you grow the roses yourselves?”
“Yes, honored guest. Do you like it? If you do, I’ll give you a few packs. Please, you must accept them. The Monster Store loves capable customers like you the most.”
Qi Xu nodded and took them. “All right, thank you then.”

“You’re welcome. It’s my honor to serve you! Guest, all the items you selected just now come to 12.2 Survival Coins in total. Because you are our Supreme VIP member, you also enjoy a 20% discount. After the discount, it comes to 9.76 Survival Coins. Here is the payment code.”
Qi Xu confirmed her suspicion once again. When the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox stated the price, she had paused slightly. Sure enough, the prices Qi Xu saw and heard were completely different from the prices they saw and heard!
This middleman actually had a conscience!
Qi Xu scanned the code and paid 10 Survival Coins. It really wasn’t that she was putting on a show of generosity; rather… you just couldn’t take advantage of the Monster Store.
After having those cups of flower tea, if she didn’t leave even a small tip, she definitely wouldn’t get this kind of treatment next time she came. Qi Xu didn’t want to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.
“Ah, my guest, why did you pay so many extra Survival Coins!”
The White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox looked shocked, gazing at Qi Xu with misty eyes.
Qi Xu waved a hand nonchalantly. “The extra is a tip for you. Your service is so attentive—you deserve it.”
The White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox was on the verge of tears. Boohoo, this customer was so nice to her. Sure enough, beautiful girls were the cutest creatures, whether monster or human.
“Then really… thank you so much!”
Qi Xu was already eating the cookies. They were toasted and crispy, still a little warm, with an unusually rich milky aroma. If she didn’t have to maintain her image, Qi Xu really would have stuffed a whole handful into her mouth at once. These were way too delicious!
And eating one gave Health +1…
Delicious and useful—who wouldn’t love that?
And that sandwich was even more amazing. It didn’t add Health; it added Constitution…
[Sandwich handmade by the Monster Store owner, the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox: Grants Constitution +1 upon consumption! With nutritionally balanced food like this, if you eat it every day, you’ll never have to worry about constipation.]
Reading this, Qi Xu couldn’t help but sigh.
Maybe because she hadn’t been eating enough fruits and vegetables, she hadn’t pooped in three days… Her lower belly was bloated as could be.
This time, though, before Qi Xu even had to ask, the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox took the initiative to run to the back and carefully prepared 4 more sandwiches and two plates of delicate little cookies.
Qi Xu looked delighted. “My gosh, you are way too friendly. Is the payment code still there? I want to scan it and give you another tip.”
The White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox hurriedly covered the payment code. “No, you mustn’t, honored guest. You have already given more than enough. I can’t let you spend any more.”
“Beautiful White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox owner, you deserve it. It’s just a few Survival Coins; what does that even count for?”
After an intense back-and-forth between the two of them, Qi Xu finally sighed. “All right then, I’ll let it go this time. I look forward to meeting you again.”
“I look forward to it too! Honored guest, unfortunately my work hours aren’t fixed. The Monster Store has three managers in total.”
Qi Xu nodded. “That’s fine. If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again!”

Bowing slightly and holding the gifts in both hands, the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox personally walked Qi Xu out to the entrance of the Monster Store. As luck would have it, another player arrived right then and sized up Qi Xu and the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox from head to toe.
Qi Xu could sense the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox’s mood souring beside her, so she decisively said goodbye!
“You can stop here. Make sure to take care of yourself at work, too.”
“Don’t worry! Goodbye, dear customer!”
The White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox bowed slightly and offered the prepared gifts with both hands.
Qi Xu took them.

Seeing this, the other player walked straight over to block Qi Xu’s path and even tried to use his light screen to scan the items in her hands.
“Hey, beautiful, what kind of place is this?”
Qi Xu frowned slightly. “Get lost!”
She hadn’t taken two steps before cursing rang out behind her. “Stinking bitch, what are you acting so cocky for? Next time I run into you, I’ll definitely rape you and then kill you! If you’ve got the guts, stay right there and don’t leave, you stupid cunt! Fuck!”
When Qi Xu reached her tricycle and took a look, there was a puddle of slightly yellowish liquid by the front wheel. She was instantly disgusted. How was this guy just like a dog, peeing everywhere regardless of the occasion?
Even a slightly sensible puppy wouldn’t do something like this, right? Did he have no morals, no brains, and no sense of shame? Or was he just born a scumbag!
Good thing she had used the 5-hour Boost Pack and the Protective Barrier was up; otherwise, her tricycle might have been smashed to pieces!
Qi Xu decided not to leave just yet. Losing a little more time didn’t matter. Being too soft-hearted would get you killed fast in the survival game.
This guy’s Vehicle was actually pretty decent—an off-road vehicle, and from the looks of it, a Level 2 vehicle.
In the early stage, unless someone had extraordinary luck, it was impossible to have that many Survival Coins. On top of that, the guy had just made a poor impression on the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox.
Qi Xu guessed he would be back out very soon, so she might as well wait. As long as a player wasn’t dead, their Vehicle couldn’t be recycled as scrap.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before the arrogant player was thrown straight out, accompanied by the angry roars of the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox.
Now that Qi Xu had decided to make a move, she wasn’t going to hesitate. It was a great chance to test out her new weapon!
The Pink Chainsaw wasn’t solid pink; it was a mix of pink and magenta, and the color-blocking looked really nice.
It was just that with Qi Xu’s current arm strength, lifting it was still a bit of a struggle.
Still, for dealing with a weak newbie lying on the ground howling, it was more than enough!
Qi Xu sprinted right over, lugging the chainsaw, and slammed it straight down onto his neck. The man had no time to put up any resistance at all; he croaked on the spot, his head flying three meters away.
Qi Xu hadn’t expected this thing to be so violent. Feeling a bit awkward, she put it back into her inventory backpack…
Sensing someone watching her from behind, Qi Xu turned around to look. It was the White-and-Pink Two-Tailed Fox.
Qi Xu seemed to recall that… the Fox Family hated blood and filth more than anything.
Feigning composure, Qi Xu spoke first. “It’s fine if he insults me, but I won’t have him making you angry.”
