I will attack as a player!

Chapter 3 Collaboration Plan

As soon as Chu Wuji exited the instance, he saw a figure appear next to the back door of his supermarket.

A creature that resembles a human is pouncing on a trash can, picking up a sandwich that he had thrown away yesterday because the packaging was damaged and it was past its expiration date.

Someone with a strange look in their eyes would think they'd found gold.

Of course, Chu Wuji was quite certain that the other party did not directly see how he "refreshed" out of the air.

As long as you don't see it directly, everything is fine. People tend to subconsciously rationalize things they don't understand, and as long as you appear calmer than the other person, there won't be any problems.

Just like when you see someone brazenly open a museum display case and pick up an artifact, your first reaction is most likely "Oh, a staff member," rather than "Run! Someone's robbing us!"

If the person is also carrying a toolbox or a folding ladder, the suggestive effect is maximized.

Now there are two problems.

First, I locked the iron gate at the entrance of the alley long ago to prevent this situation from happening. How did this wild person get in? Is it necessary to call the police?

Secondly, Chu Wuji's current appearance is not very attractive either; if the police arrive, he should be the first person they detain.

With this in mind, Chu Wuji decided to first try to appease and calm the other party down.

Of course, he didn't forget to glance at the top of the other person's head before doing so.

Gu Zixin (unemployed)

As long as he's not a thief.

"Your...that packaging is torn, it might be contaminated." Chu Wuji carefully chose his words: "Shall I go to the store and get you two new ones?"

"Eek!" The wild man was startled and let out a strange, mournful cry.

"I...I...I'm okay!" Gu Zixin was genuinely frightened and instinctively reached into her pocket to touch the poison. "Um...um...the clerk is innocent. You...please calm down. I'll just eat this."

"Okay," she said, quickly picking up the sandwich from the ground with her other hand, tearing open the packaging and stuffing it into her mouth. As she ate, she seemed a little guilty, her eyes darting around: "Hehe, a little dirt won't hurt, right?"

"..." Chu Wuji understood that the other party regarded him as a perverted killer. Looking at this posture, there was a tragic sense of "as long as I eat this sandwich, I can save the innocent store clerk".

"You've misunderstood. I'm a clerk at this store." Chu Wuji stretched out two fingers, pinched the collar of his raincoat, and pulled it down to reveal the convenience store uniform underneath. He then opened the sack and showed the other side the bright red blood oranges from the store: "These things on me are just from processing juice."

Gu Zixin's expression froze.

The next second, her tense body completely relaxed, like a noodle with its bones removed.

"puff--"

She spat out the strange-tasting sandwich, and her right hand slipped limply out of her pocket.

Overwhelmed by fear and embarrassment, Gu Zixin blushed and broke down on the spot.

"Pah! Seriously? What normal person would dress like that to make juice? Especially in a place like this?"

"That's why I locked the front door," Chu Wuji retorted. "How did you get in?"

Gu Zixin looked in the direction he pointed, and there was indeed a large lock on the rusty wire gate at the entrance of the alley.

It felt like I had fallen from the sky.

and many more!

Put yourself in their shoes; your current behavior is exactly like that of a thief!

Who would believe such a thing if I told them?

At this point, we should use Tang Xiao to fool them!

"Hehehe."

"..."

Hearing Tang Xiao's laughter, Chu Wuji almost lost his composure.

The person in front of me has the potential to be a big influencer; it would be a waste not to use him as a persona actor.

"Hey, wait here, I'll go get you some food and water. After you eat, go to the Pingkou Division to collect your relief funds."

In this life, Chu Wuji was also raised by the neighbors of this street. Naturally, she would lend a helping hand if she could in this situation, since judging from the name given by the system, she was also a pitiful person.

Just as Chu Wuji opened the back door to go in, Gu Zixin had a flash of inspiration and blurted out.

"Wait a minute! Um... are you still hiring at your convenience store?"

----------

A moment later, Chu Wuji sat on a small stool and watched Gu Zixin beside him busily preparing milkshakes from the juice he had just extracted from the system.

She was still walking with a slight limp, as if she had sprained her ankle while she was homeless, but she had already applied the shop's liniment to her ankle, and it should be mostly healed by tonight.

Gu Zixin is currently wearing Chu Wuji's sister's work uniform. After some tidying up, Chu Wuji realized that this black milk dragon's appearance is actually quite outstanding. It's just that her somewhat mature face doesn't quite match the milk dragon's true form inside.

Gu Zixin has short, neat black hair with a few tufts of feathers that spread backwards beside her ears, suggesting she is a crow-like subhuman.

The model is also quite supermodel-like; that World Cup-level presence almost caused her to tear her sister's work clothes.

Alas, as expected, God opens a window for people while closing a door.

As Chu Wuji mentally called her a "milk dragon," a strange chill ran through Gu Zixin, who shivered and turned to look at him.

Now that she knew Chu Wuji was actually the owner of the shop, she immediately forced a smile: "Is my work alright, boss?"

"It's alright, you can continue." Chu Wuji waved his hand and looked away.

They got a taste of the pleasures of being capitalists ahead of time.

There's still a little while before the peak time for students at nearby schools starts... so let's scroll through some short videos.

Just as Chu Wuji opened the brain-computer interface, a red notification symbol suddenly appeared in the upper right corner of his vision.

Although it was also directly displayed on the retina, Chu Wuji immediately recognized it as something from the system and opened it with a thought.

[Event Notice]

The new version 1.10 will be available soon!

To thank our players, we will be launching a limited-time collaboration with the super popular IP "Demon Slayer" for 21 days, starting in three days!

The linked content is as follows:

[I. Special Collaboration Gacha Pool: A limited-time Demon Slayer-themed gacha pool will be available, allowing players to draw limited-edition collaboration items.]

[Guaranteed reward mechanism: Every 80 draws, you are guaranteed to receive one purple-quality item. This item has a 50% chance of being a key to a limited-time Demon Slayer dungeon; if you do not receive it on your first draw, your next purple item will definitely be a key.]

[II. Demon Slayer Limited-Time Dungeon Opens: Requires a corresponding access key to unlock. Once entered, players can experience the Demon Slayer story firsthand.]

The notification was short, and Chu Wuji read it quickly.

"Is it another collaboration?"

Chu Wuji remembered that the system had done something similar a few years ago, and it was linked to Minecraft.

However, he was short of money at the time, and he had to save his money to support his sister's education, so he didn't participate much.

But this time...

It seems like it has some potential.
