Chapter 171 Online Store
[Player 6666: You killed someone?! You haven't left, have you? I'm coming right now!]
Lu Youyou found Wang Qiao's name on the [Gang] list and clicked to teleport.
Through the window, she saw a patch of blood on the ground, and many people lying there, grinning from ear to ear.
She got out of the car, handed the note to Wang Qiao, and said, "The monster merchant's preferences: increase his favorability to 50% to open the online store."
Wang Qiao said with disdain, "You're going to use these people to cook for the monster merchant? That's disgusting. You can't use that pot anymore, and you can't use the spatula either."
"I'm not here to cook, I'm here to give these people as gifts. Oh, come help me, pick out a few that are relatively intact."
As Lu Youyou picked through the items, she complained, "Tsk tsk, you're really ruthless! Half a head is gone, it's not clean at all, I can't give it away, I can't give it away..."
With Wang Qiao's help, the two finally selected several men and women who were physically intact and good-looking.
Lu Youyou specially used tap water to wash the filth off them.
They waited a while longer, letting the sun dry the water off their bodies, before handing them over to the monster merchant.
This time, the monster merchant replied instantly.
[Monster Merchant: What do you mean by giving me five people?]
Lu Youyou hesitated for a while before sending the message.
[Player 6666: I didn't mean anything by it. I just remembered that I gave some to the Sand Monster before, and they liked them very much. I thought you would like them too, so I specially cleaned them and gave them to you.]
[Monster Merchant: You gave them to those low-level monsters too?]
[Player 6666: No this time. It was because I was annoyed by the dead people blocking the way, so I kicked them all into the yellow sand. That's when I accidentally discovered that the yellow sand monster likes them. So, do you like them?]
[Monster Merchant: So you're saying the low-level monsters you give them aren't this clean and tidy?]
[Player 6666: Yes.]
The monster merchant did not reply, but Lu Youyou's watch buzzed.
The favorability rating jumped directly from 20% to 30%, less than halfway to 50%.
"Have you finished taking care of your business? Which color do you want, the red suit or the black suit?" Wang Qiao asked.
"I want the black one."
"Okay, I'll give it to you as a gift. Remember to wear it when it gets cold."
Lu Youyou smiled helplessly: "I know, do you think I'm some kind of idiot who doesn't know to wear clothes when it's cold?"
Wang Qiao rolled her eyes at Lu Youyou and took out a rattle drum from her hand.
"Here, give this to the monster merchant's child."
Lu Youyou stared intently for three seconds.
[Pet-specific rattle: The sound is soft and not harsh, so even pets with highly sensitive hearing can play with it, and monsters can play with it too.]
“This is yours. You can give it to the monster merchant to earn favor,” Lu Youyou suggested.
"No need, I only have 10%, so I'll prioritize you. When the time comes, you can just buy me whatever I want from the online store, otherwise neither of us will be able to activate it."
Lu Youyou thought about it and realized that made sense, so she gave it to the monster merchant in her own name.
As expected, the Monster Merchant's favorability rating rose to 35%, bringing us one step closer to opening an online store.
"I'll go collect the toys the monsters can play with from the public chat and see if I can raise their favorability to 50% in one go," Wang Qiao said.
"Wait a minute, the rankings are all public. Many people think that our ranking rewards include warm clothing. If you post this on the public chat, they will definitely ask you for warm clothing."
"Yes, yes, let's find Uncle Zhang. He's not even in the top 100, so nobody should notice him. Let him post it."
Lu Youyou agreed, "I'll contact him right away."
[Player 6666: Uncle Zhang, do you have any toys that work with both monsters and pets? Food that works with both is also fine.]
[Zhang Weimin: Wait a minute, I'll send it to you. By the way, Xiao Liu used to work for Shen Taiyang, so his backpack has a lot of miscellaneous items. Ask Xiao Liu if he has anything you need.]
After receiving the universal teething stick from Zhang Weimin, Lu Youyou sent Xiao Liu another message with the same question she had asked Zhang Weimin.
[Xiao Liu: Yes, I helped Shen Taiyang pack his things earlier, and there are a lot of things in his backpack. Wait a moment, let me take a look.]
After a while, Xiao Liu sent a message.
[Xiao Liu: I've sold all the pet-specific and general-purpose ones. I only have some monster-specific ones left, which I'm afraid you can't use on Xiao Hei. Sorry, Sister You.]
[Player 6666: Don't be shy, the ones specifically for monsters are even better.]
[Xiao Liu: That's great. I'll give you all this junk; it'll free up some space.]
Xiao Liu gave out a total of 20 items, including various flavors of monster-themed cookies, toys, and clothes.
Lu Youyou gave all the things Zhang Weimin and Xiao Liu had given her to the monster merchant.
Contrary to expectations of an explosive increase in favorability, the favorability level rose by 1% or 2% at a time, very slowly.
Fortunately, she achieved 50% of her goal and her favorability rating reached 52%, allowing her to apply to the monster merchant to open an online store.
The application was approved quickly, and a cartoon icon for a shop appeared after the Monster Merchant's name.
Once you click in, the product layout is no different from what you see offline.
Lu Youyou specially projected the void screen so that she and Wang Qiao could watch it together.
[Fleece-lined sweatshirt: Valued at 20 gold coins each, providing warmth; limited to 5 pieces per purchase today.]
[Fleece-lined sweatpants: Valued at 20 gold coins each, limited to 5 pieces per purchase today.]
[Ten-pound cotton quilt: worth 50 gold coins each, limited to 5 per purchase today.]
【Radiant Lights: Valued at 10 gold coins each, limited to 5 purchases today.】
[Candle: Worth 1 gold coin each, limited to 200 purchases today.]
Seeing the items in the shop, Wang Qiao was puzzled: "I can understand selling warm clothing, but why are there table lamps and candles here? Do we need these things in cold weather?"
Lu Youyou asked uncertainly, "Perhaps it's so cold that it might freeze and damage the electrical system in our car?"
Wang Qiao agreed and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you buy me 50 candles, and double everything else. Then I'll transfer the gold coins to you."
"No, I can't buy it for you first," Lu Youyou said somewhat embarrassedly. "I only have 118 gold coins, I can't afford it."
Wang Qiao was shocked: "You're so poor? Don't you have a treasure bowl?"
As she spoke, she transferred 300 gold coins to Lu Youyou, saying generously, "Consider the extra gold coins as your shopping fee."
After paying, Lu Youyou had 168 gold coins.
She bought three cotton quilts in one go, using up all the remaining cotton quilt purchase slots.
Then open the public chat.
[Player 6666: Ten pounds of cotton quilt, DM me if interested. Only accepting gold coins, no bartering. Don't bother if your offer is less than 200.]
[Player 790900: Holy crap! A ten-pound cotton quilt! I knew it! As the second-place finisher, she couldn't possibly be without warm clothing.]
[Player 88929: Luckily I didn't tell her about the monster merchant's preferences beforehand. I've already messaged her to exchange them for a cotton quilt. Sweet!]
[Whether you live or die is entirely up to fate: Everyone upstairs is an idiot. The other person's dinner party was canceled, and you've already left home, yet you're smugly thinking they'll wait for you.]

Messages were scrolling rapidly across the public chat, and the number of messages on Lu Youyou's private chat page was also increasing dramatically.
