Volume 1 Chapter 3 Discount Promotion

  Madman.

  This guy is absolutely crazy.

  Qin Di immediately reminded himself that the guy in front of him was not a human being, but a psychopath.

  But...

  How to explain everything in front of me?! The life fruit that sells for 40,000 'years' per piece, the Queen Mother's peach that costs 88,888.88 'years' per piece... How can it be explained?! The crystal clear and translucent fruits that shine with holy light, how can they be explained?!

  Qin Di could believe that the guy in front of him was a psychopath, but as someone who couldn't be more normal, Qin Di would never believe he himself was a psychopath.

  "One life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulating virtues, five reading books... Everyone has a chance to seize the opportunity given by fate, it's just a matter of whether they can grasp it. A middle-aged man glanced at Qin Di with a sly smile: "No one is willing to be ordinary! Everyone wants to shine on the stage of life! Everyone wants to marry their long-admired beauty! Everyone wants to be the center of attention... But before that, you need to have extraordinary capital... And now, the greatest opportunity in your life is right in front of you. Whether it's mediocrity or greatness, whether it's success or failure, all depends on your thoughts... Crisis often accompanies opportunity, doesn't it?"

  Opportunity is right in front of you!

  Qin Di's heart suddenly started racing!

  A middle-aged man glanced at him and said lightly, "Everyone has secrets. Dreams aren't necessarily just dreams. How can a person's life be blank for twelve years? Don't you want to know about the experiences before you were twelve?! Don't you want to know the truth of that dream?! Go find the secret of that nightmare!"

  "What about past experiences? Secrets in dreams?" Upon hearing this, the nightmare that had entwined Qin Di for five whole years emerged from the depths of his memory, unstoppable. Especially the culprit in his dream, who made Qin Di hate him to the bone.

  "Qin Di, have you forgotten?" In his mind, a stern voice seemed to be scolding him: "Have you forgotten how you were bullied and humiliated? Have you forgotten how you were framed and left with no way out? Have you forgotten the mother in your dreams, who was willing to sacrifice her life for you? You've been hiding for five whole years, are you going to hide for a lifetime?"

  "No!" Qin Di let out a low roar in his heart, the tragic scenes of his dream flooding his mind.

  A mother's determination to sacrifice for her child, that one gaze full of love...

  The chief culprit's triumphant and arrogant appearance suddenly appeared in front of Qin Di.

  "No!" All of this tragedy is absolutely not just a dream.

  In Qin Di's eyes, an unprecedented determination was revealed. He raised his head and stared at the middle-aged man: "Who are you, after all?"

  "I'm just a shopping guide in the supermarket." The middle-aged man smiled lightly, a very strange and cunning smile, also very complex.

  Then he lightly avoided Qin Di's gaze and said faintly, "You see, in this yin-yang supermarket, every item has the potential to bring endless possibilities to each person... For example, in this fruit section, there is a kind of memory fruit that is not particularly rare. After eating it, people can not only recall lost memories but also benefit from brain development... The price is 20.88 'years'... Of course, for you now, using twenty years of your life to buy the memory fruit is too costly, and your purchasing power obviously cannot be exerted in the fruit section. Why don't we take a look at the medical section instead?"

  Before Qin Di could react, the middle-aged man walked into the medical area... The soft light was like ripples on water, flashing and flickering, as if there were layers of thin gauze in between. With a gentle step, Qin Di seemed to have stepped into another world...

  Waft after waft of medicinal fragrance assailed him, and Qin Di felt his entire body warm and cozy, completely relaxed and comfortable. The annoyance in his heart dissipated instantly, and his gaze was quickly drawn to a medicinal herb that looked remarkably like ginseng.

  A single ginseng plant, surrounded by a seven-colored halo of light, with two crystal-clear leaves like black jade at the top, giving people a strong sense of vitality.

  Around ginseng are countless medicinal materials shining with a soft light.

  On the shelf to the right of the medicine rack, there were stacks of ancient bamboo scrolls with books that shone with dazzling brilliance... Compared to the fruit district's straightforwardness, the medical district gave Qin Di an endless sense of mystery.

  Mysterious Yin-Yang Supermarket...

  The middle-aged man with a mysterious smile once again put on the posture of a professional shopping guide: "Medical area, divided into two major areas. Area 1 has various medicinal materials and treatment tools, while Area 2 only sells medical books... Considering your current purchasing power, we can directly ignore Area 1, and Area 2 is the key. And..."

  He flashed another very sly smile.

  Qin Di's sharp capture, there is a feeling that something is wrong...

  As expected, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "Moreover... our supermarket's pharmacy is currently running a promotional campaign, not only discounted sales but also mysterious gifts. For customers like you with low consumption, this is a rare shopping opportunity. After all, your current consumption quota is only 72 'years', if you don't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I would feel sorry for you."

  Qin Di wisely chose silence.

  He didn't suspect or question it, facing this mysterious supermarket, he basically had no right to speak as a consumer... not even the right to choose.

  But there was one thing he could be sure of, and that was that the middle-aged man in front of him, who was acting as if he owned the supermarket, was absolutely not a psychopath.

  It seemed that the middle-aged man had guessed Qin Di's intention, and he led him to a small shelf with a "discount promotion" sign and a mysterious gift attached.

  Then he bypassed Qin Di, picked up a roll of old yellow bamboo from the shelf, which was dull and unattractive at first glance. Finally, he looked at Qin Di with a smile and introduced in a very professional tone: "Please note, customers, this is the product of our store's discount promotion this time, we call it 'Divine Doctor Unparalleled'... ...buy it down, you will be unparalleled in medical skills, dominate the medical world, and make your life full of miracles from now on... Do you want to revive the dead, cure diseases with just one medicine? Do you want to defy death, compete with the King of Hell? Do you want to be famous for thousands of years, shock the medical community? Then please buy it down, you will become a legendary divine doctor. And..."

  A middle-aged man, with a completely crazy look on his face, continued in the most sincere and professional tone: "And... it not only allows you to learn the most advanced medical skills in the shortest time, but its content is also very rich, covering everything, including traditional Chinese medicine's nourishing life science, essence energy science, yin-yang science, viscera image science... as well as Western clinical medicine, biology, biochemistry, cell science. It can even allow you to learn any kind of medical science in the shortest time, whether it's traditional Chinese or Western medicine, and make you a legendary doctor in just one minute."

  "Look... such a precious treasure, you only need to spend 7 years of quota to learn what others can't learn in ten years, twenty years... or even a lifetime, several lifetimes!" The middle-aged man's saliva flew again, spitting stars all over Qin Di's face, but he didn't notice.

  Qin Di was stunned, if he hadn't considered the supermarket's miraculous nature, he would have thought this guy was doing multi-level marketing.

  However, Qin Di still hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but blurt out: "Is this thing really that amazing? Doesn't it have any side effects? Will it emit radiation or something? Are you making up stories again?"

  "Are you doubting the credibility of this mall or are you doubting my intelligence?" the middle-aged man said in a cold tone with a dark face.

  "No, I just doubt that this thing can really make people learn and master so much knowledge in less than a minute, with no side effects." Qin said, her face red.

  A middle-aged man looked at him with infinite sympathy: "At the same time, you suspect that your nerves are disordered and you have an illusion, so that you see the fruit of life that will take nearly ten thousand years to mature. Nor can it be denied that you are now traveling in a dream... Don't believe me, pinch yourself hard and take a look!"

  Qin Di was taken aback, feeling extremely displeased because this guy was looking at him with a gaze that seemed to think he was an idiot.

  The middle-aged man took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and a gentle smile reappeared on his face: "Of course, 'Divine Doctor Unparalleled' is a discounted product, although it has some side effects."

  Qin Di revealed an expression of "I knew it", and looked at the other party with disdain.

  The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, coughed a few times and quickly said: "However, this negative effect will not target you... Relatively speaking, for you, this negative effect will bring endless benefits."

  "What's that supposed to mean?" Qin Di's expression was a perfect blend of innocence and slyness, instantly discrediting the credibility of the statement.

  A middle-aged man directly ignored Qin Di's ugly expression and explained: "'Shen Yi Wu Shuang' is a discounted product, but it still maintains many characteristics of the Yin Yang supermarket. Not only does it have fast entry, easy to learn, understand and master, but also does not waste any limited time for consumers, allowing them to acquire endless knowledge in the shortest possible time... Moreover, its greatest function is not environmental protection, safety, or non-radiation, but rather enabling you to earn more life, increasing your consumption capacity in this mall."

  "Make a profit from one's lifespan?" Qin Di thought this was utter nonsense.

  A middle-aged man stared at him with a silly look, saying: "Please don't be suspicious, yes... it can give you the function of earning other people's lives... let you earn life value through patients, their blood relatives, or their friends and family... even strangers, as long as someone is willing to use their own life in exchange for the patient's health during the rescue process, you can earn life value from it to increase your own lifespan... Moreover, the power to obtain life value is entirely up to you... from one day, ten days, to one year, two years, all the way up to three years... Three years is the maximum limit, everything within three years is decided by you."

  "What if no one is willing?" Qin Di couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.

  "I think there isn't a single son, daughter, wife, husband, or oneself who wouldn't want to trade one to three years of their life for the life of themselves or their loved ones." The middle-aged man let out a deep sigh and gave Qin Di a look that said "you're an idiot"... Then, he quickly collected his scornful expression and revealed a very cunning, shameless, and crafty face as he said: "And most importantly, who would believe that you can cure illnesses while also profiting from the patient's or their loved one's life?"

  "No one really believes it." Qin Di replied very decisively this time.

  "So...!" The middle-aged man's tone was once again filled with excitement, and the saliva in his mouth sprayed out continuously: "A product that combines so many functions at such a low price, allowing you to earn endless life to increase your purchasing power, is simply a must-have for people like you who consume less... Just imagine, if you buy one of these products, within one minute, you'll master the unparalleled medical skills and change your life... Do you want to be the center of attention? Do you want to control the lives and deaths of patients and have beautiful women at your feet? Do you want to have endless purchasing power in this mall and spend it freely? ... Then please don't hesitate, buy our supermarket's one-of-a-kind 'Divine Doctor' product, and all your dreams will come true."

  From product quality and benefits to personal cost-effectiveness, return on investment, cash-out ratio and all kinds of interests and benefits...

  He was eloquent and passionate, his words piercing to the heart, while spitting out saliva flying everywhere, a pair of eyes staring at Qin Di with excitement and expectation, just short of saying: "Brother, hurry up and buy it, I'm excited too!"

  Qin Di looked at this guy who was almost possessed, and when his emotions and performance reached their peak, Qin Di quickly said a sentence: "I don't believe that pies will fall from the sky."

  "Of course, the heavens won't drop free pies, but as a reputable and flexible business, selling at a loss often brings endless opportunities." The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Di quickly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "So, any customer who purchases this product must also accept a complimentary gift from our store."

  "Gift?" Qin Di felt like this was a trap: "What gift?"

  "It's better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish... especially for customers like you with low purchasing power, our mall usually uses the tactic of putting out a long line to catch big fish, not only selling at a discounted price but also giving away another gift that increases purchasing power."

  "What gift?" Qin Di became slightly interested.

  A middle-aged man picked up a yellowed bamboo scroll from the shelf, with a sly expression, saying: "Look, this is the gift, a profound health and spiritual cultivation method. It has the functions of nourishing life, increasing strength, generating violence, maintaining skin, detoxifying and beautifying... However... its main function is to increase human lifespan! As long as you cultivate this health method, not only can you greatly extend your limited life, but also increase your poor purchasing power... This is called killing two birds with one stone, allowing the low-consumption group to increase their maximum purchasing power in the shortest time..."

  As he spoke, his tone became more and more agitated: "Just imagine it, when your purchasing power increases, what you can buy in this mall... a grass that blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and ripens after another three thousand years... No, customer, if that's the case, you're underestimating the capabilities of this mall... We don't just have rare fruits, life-saving elixirs, unbeatable kitchen knives, unparalleled medical skills, and on the second floor, we also have a clothing store that sells clothes that are impervious to swords and fire... On the third floor, we even have a pet area... Hmm... Ah yes, have you seen a dragon? A dragon that's identical to the legendary divine dragon! Have you seen a phoenix? A bird that can revive itself with just one drop of its own blood, and is indestructible... Do you want to see a creature that looks like a deer, has horns on its head, and scales all over its body, like the Qilin, Xiezhi, or Bai Ze?"

  Qin Di's thoughts were in disarray, he swallowed hard and nodded his head desperately.

  But... the middle-aged man finally showed a very helpless expression and said, "Sorry, customer. Considering that you are not a member of this mall and your purchasing power is limited, your access is only limited to the first floor medical area of this mall, because... this is the lowest level area of this mall."

  He smiled and looked at Qin Di with a knowing glint in his eye, as if he had seen through his thoughts. "As for the fruit section earlier, sorry to say that it's just one of our business strategies... because only by letting customers understand what makes this supermarket unique can we better retain them... You see, isn't that right?"

  Qin Di felt that perhaps he had probably boarded a pirate ship...

  Finally, he smiled and looked at Qin Di, stuffed the two volumes of discounted bamboo books and a stack of paper into his hands, and said with a smile: "Well, please take these two items well, along with some explanations and introductions from our store...and now, please go to the cashier to pay."

  He dragged Qin Di to the checkout counter.

  There is no scanner, on the rectangular cash register, there is only a square device with a somewhat awkward appearance.

  A middle-aged man grasped Qin Di's right hand and pressed it onto the device... Qin Di only felt a sharp pain in his thumb, as if a hot current was surging out from his fingertips. It seemed that with this one move, his entire soul had been torn apart. Qin Di couldn't help but let out a miserable cry: "I'll f**k your mother!"

  "Hmm..." The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat, his face looking like it had just been squeezed through a door... After a while, he managed to squeeze out a smile: "Alright, the payment is settled. From this moment on, you are now a 9th-level member of our shopping mall."

  He handed a small black card to Qin Di, saying with a smile: "Finally, the supermarket in Yin Yang City opens its doors to members every six months. I hope that next time your purchasing power will surprise me... To be honest, customers like you who consume so little really make it difficult for me to feel excited... and it makes me feel very uncomfortable!"

  "Hmm!" Qin Di couldn't help but ask: "How does this product work?"

  A middle-aged man with a sly look on his face was ignored by him, and he dragged Qin Di to the front of the gate in an instant.

  He casually pushed... Qin Di plunged into a red glow, his eyes were bloodshot, and vaguely, he seemed to hear the guy muttering to himself, saying something that Qin Di didn't quite catch, it was like: "Finally caught a Qin family's turtle... Ah, smelling it can live for 360 years... Although I only smelled a wisp, it's enough for him to change his tendons and wash his marrow... What a gain, what a huge gain..."

  A middle-aged man's heart-wrenching wail echoed in his ears, but Qin Di didn't know... at least, he didn't know the meaning of this sentence at this moment...
