Chapter 233 Skyscraper 3

 "Isn't the supermarket over there?"

Bai Xi smiled and changed the topic. She looked at the aisle in front of her. Some were low and old, and the yellowing walls were peeling off in pieces.

"That's where the rich go. We don't have that much money. There's a cheap supermarket down there, and the things inside are very cheap."

Liang Xiner pointed to the stairs at the end of the corridor and said.

Following the aisle and going down another flight of stairs, Liang Xiner took Bai Xi to the supermarket she mentioned.

When she walked to the door of the supermarket, Bai Xi was stunned. She had never seen such a simple supermarket.

Rows of rusty shelves filled with merchandise, like the aisles, some walls are yellowed and peeling off, and the lights above are beating like candlelight.

Where is the supermarket?

It is clearly a large warehouse, the kind that is almost obsolete.

If it weren't for the discount billboard standing at the door, who would have thought that this was a supermarket, and even a personal convenience store on the street looked so good.

"There are a lot of people today. It's probably a windy day and they all want to stock up. We have to hurry up, otherwise all the good stuff will be snatched up by others."

Liang Xiner pulled Bai Xi and rushed in.

Others also immediately rushed to the cheapest discount area.

But Liang Xiner was wearing a skirt and couldn't move it. She gave up after trying it a few times. Bai Xi didn't want to crowd with so many people.

She took a quick look and found that the prices here were not very expensive, about one-fifth of those in her original world.

Although the one thousand yuan funding provided by the game has shrunk, it’s still okay!

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have worn a skirt."

Outside the crowd, Liang Xiner's face was filled with regret as she looked at the frenzied crowd.

Bai Xi was a little stunned.

She felt like she saw the scene of uncles and aunts robbing the supermarket in the morning.

Everyone as far as the eye can see puts them into their own shopping carts, and some people are always looking at other people's shopping carts to steal them when they are not prepared.

After looking at the chaos in front of her eyes, Bai Xi turned around and walked towards the regular-priced items area.

Most people are attracted by discounts and promotions, but there are fewer people here and the products are more complete.

Because of insufficient funds, Bai Xi can only choose to stock up on things that are cheap and easy to eat and can fill her stomach. For example, bread, milk, instant noodles, etc.

I don’t want to miss hot meals anymore.

Liang Xiner said that this kind of freshly made food can only be sold at the place where the noble lady went before, and the price is roughly twice that of the original world.

Bai Xi can't afford to spend this much money.

Before starting, she glanced at the others and saw that most people's shopping carts were full.

Then I felt relieved and started purchasing.

Because the goal was clear, Bai Xi soon had a cart full of food. Liang Xiner was familiar with the road, and the progress was not slow, and it was also a cart full.

Putting a bottle of mineral water in the car, a game light screen appeared in front of Bai Xi.

[Side mission: Wooden Man

Here and now, players are asked to remain still for one minute. The task is limited to three minutes to accept.

Mission reward: a lottery draw.]

Stay still for a minute.

Is this because she is afraid that others will not know that she is a player?

There were at least 300 people in the supermarket, and there must be other players among them.

After glancing around, Bai Xi walked to a corner where her vision was blocked, picked up a bag of food, turned her back to the shelf, faced the aisles on both sides, and pretended to look down at the information on the back of the package.

The countdown in the upper right corner starts in time:

59,58……45,44……

Time passed minute by minute, and Bai Xi also counted silently along with the countdown.

"Xu Xuan, let's go back! Is this enough to last for many days?"

After filling up her shopping cart, Liang Xiner turned around and saw that Xu Xuan who was following her was gone.

"Where are the people?"

Liang Xiner began to search everywhere in the supermarket.

After several searches, she found Bai Xi standing in the corner with his head lowered.

"Xu Xuan?"

When she received no response, Liang Xiner walked over with a puzzled look on her face, and her shouts also alerted others around her.

Someone curiously looked in her direction, but only saw a shelf.

Bai Xi was very nervous, but she didn't dare to move at all and continued to remain motionless.

There are fifteen seconds left in the countdown, and Liang Xiner's voice is getting closer and closer.

"Xu Xuan?"

Liang Xiner shouted again, but Bai Xi still didn't get any response.

"What are you looking at? So fascinated."

Liang Xiner was a little curious, quickened her pace, and walked over.

Countdown:7,6,5,4……

Liang Xiner has already entered within five meters, and Bai Xi is so nervous that his palms are sweating.

Seeing that Xu Xuan was fascinated, Liang Xiner slowed down as she approached, stretched out her hand to Bai Xi's shoulder, and suddenly patted her, "Xu Xuan, what are you looking at? You're so fascinated."

Bai Xi's body trembled slightly, looking frightened. He looked up at Liang Xiner, glanced at the task completion message in front of him, and said with a smile: "Nothing."

He raised the biscuit box in his hand and said, "When I saw the biscuits that my grandma liked to eat, I suddenly thought of her."

"I thought what was going on? You didn't reply to me for a long time." Liang Xiner looked at Bai Xi's shopping cart and said in surprise: "Why did you buy such an expensive thing? It costs hundreds of dollars."

"Isn't it a windy weather? I don't really want to go out, so I'll stock up on more." Bai Xi grinned.

According to Liang Xiner's words and the behavior of most people in the supermarket, strong winds should be a relatively destructive natural weather that will seriously affect people's lives and work.

At this time, most people will choose to stay at home and hoard supplies without being suspected.

"But the ones you bought here are too expensive. There are cheaper ones over there, and the price is half as low as this."

Liang Xiner pointed to the opposite area, where there were obviously more people, and said.

"It's hard to put it back after you've taken it, so that's it."

She had gone there just now to look. Although the items were cheap, the packaging was too crude, and many of them were about to expire.

Those discounted promotional items that are being snapped up by people are probably what they will do after they expire.

Although the items here are more expensive, they are still a month or two away from expiration, so the quality is obviously better.

Although there is not much money, when it comes to food, Bai Xi will try her best to eat as well as possible within her ability.

You cannot treat yourself badly when you treat anyone wrong.

"It seems that you have a good income. If you save money, wouldn't you be able to live on a better floor? You can't see or touch what you eat. How can you live well and live in reality?"

Liang Xiner doesn't understand Bai Xi's concept of eating too much.

Bai Xi smiled and said nothing.

She also couldn't quite understand the concept of these aborigines who lived frugally on food and clothing and risked their lives to live in a higher place.

All we can say is that each world has its own cultural customs.

"Okay, let's go quickly!" Liang Xiner looked at the time on the wall, "The lights will be turned off in less than an hour. If you don't catch the last elevator, you will have to climb back to the 35th floor."<

/p>

"Ah?" Bai Xi looked confused.
