Chapter 46 - Beyond Kitchenware Set! A Major Power Boost for Zhu Jiang!
The ground was covered with a thick, heavy carpet, and the metal shelves had decorative wrought iron patterns on the edges.
The products displayed also emanated a strong aura of Yin energy!
The beautifully packaged ingredients and beverages were not only clean but also made one’s mouth water at first sight, while toiletries and other daily necessities were packaged in very high-end styles, housed in crystal-like glass bottles.
The prices started from several hundred to several thousand or even tens of thousands!
Lin Yu casually picked up a beautifully packaged pork chop, and the label carefully detailed its ingredients, “From a vengeful-grade ghost beast, premium leg meat.”
Lin Yu looked at the description, slightly taken aback!
It was actually meat from a vengeful-grade ghost beast!
In horror games, ghosts include not only humanoid spirits but also livestock, animals, and even some plants infected by yin energy!
This piece of leg meat from a vengeful-grade beast weighed about two kilograms and cost only over 600!
Lin Yu turned to a similarly uniformed store employee following him, handed it over, and said, “Wrap this up. I’ll take it.”
As he said this, the paper ghost employee nodded, “Understood!”
The paper ghost employee carefully placed the meat into a paper bag, and then Lin Yu glanced at the drinks on the shelf, instructing to wrap up the two most expensive bottles, one priced at 15,000 and the other at 8,000.
The 15,000 bottle was called “Drunken Life and Dreaming Death,” while the 8,000 yuan one was called “Soul Brew of the Clear Shadow.”
Compared to the Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine, which had better appearance and Yin energy content, these were still nice wines!
Afterward, he also bought some toiletries: towels, dental supplies, soap. All of them were the most expensive options!
In total, he spent 56,000 ghost money!
The 100,000 he recharged immediately dwindled by half!
However, Lin Yu felt no fluctuations about this…
None of these purchases even helped him complete his “impulse spending” task!
After all, his current task required him to spend at least 100,000 on low-priced items!
These items were just too cheap!
Even if this was a “members-only high-end store”!
“Indeed, no matter how upscale daily necessities are, there are still limits!”
Lin Yu sighed as he took the nearly 60,000 yuan worth of items to check out!
Although Lin Yu thought the total for these items was quite cheap… for even this “high-end” store, it was still a big sale!
It should be noted that the entrance threshold for this store was actually only “30,000”!
In other words, as long as the room card balance exceeded 30,000, one would become a member of “Beyond Selections”!
The purchasing power of ghost money was actually stronger than Lin Yu had imagined!
Therefore, when Lin Yu was checking out, a round, very short ghost creature that was only as tall as Lin Yu’s calf, with short arms and legs but still wearing a red uniform and a tie, appeared from behind the selection store counter!
Instead of being human, it looked more like a meatball with a swollen head!
“Greetings, VIP from Room 1202! I am the manager of the selection store!
“Your patronage is a great honor for us!
“As a token of appreciation, we will provide you with a small ‘gift’!”
The manager wore a smile, and behind him, a paper ghost attendant presented a beautifully crafted gift box similar in size to himself.
“What is this?” Lin Yu casually took the gift box and asked.
“This is a kitchenware gift box from the 30th-floor rotating landscape restaurant. Since you’ve bought so many ingredients, you will need these kitchenware!
“Even as a Beyond member, you cannot buy this… it’s not for sale! It is only provided to the directors of the Beyond conference!”
Hearing the response, Lin Yu was quite surprised!
Zhu Jiang’s profession was a chef!
After leaving the Yellow Springs Inn, he hadn’t brought his set of pots and pans with him, only that soul-cleaving butcher knife remained, thus Zhu Jiang’s power was somewhat diminished.
After all… Zhu Jiang was not only powerful in direct combat, but his cooking skills were also very high!
As long as he had good kitchenware, he could prepare a dish from a fierce ghost that would increase one’s spirit power!
Now that Lin Yu had purchased some high-quality ingredients rich in yin energy…
using only ordinary kitchenware would indeed be a waste!
【Ding! Detected a mid-grade second-tier yin object: Beyond Kitchenware Set! Automatically bound to the host!】
【Ding! Detected that the Beyond Kitchenware Set is highly compatible with your ghost, Zhu Jiang. Do you wish to equip it?】
“It’s actually mid-grade second-tier… great!”
Lin Yu immediately chose to equip it for Zhu Jiang!
The manager was also quite pleased when he saw Lin Yu accept it.
“VIP from Room 1202! Do you need us to help deliver the remaining items you purchased?”
he asked, and Lin Yu nodded.
“By the way, you just mentioned the directors of the Beyond conference…
“If I want to become a member of Beyond or join the Beyond conference, do you know how to go about it?”
