Chapter IX. Purchase offerings
Liang De returned to the LOFT apartment in the Red Leaf Building on Shanqian Street, and happened to bump into the old lady of the landlord who came to return the pet at the door, and he accepted the old lady's chatter for more than half an hour as Li Zhixian's distant cousin, and only after promising to keep the salted fish and her pet well, the old lady left satisfied.
Liang Deti slipped through the bird cage and entered the door, and the owl in the cage kept looking at the old lady who had left with reluctance, and was not at all happy about seeing his master again.
Li Zhixian sat on the sofa with his legs folded and watched the ten o'clock stall, holding a can of Waterloo dark beer in his hand.
A man and a woman sat side by side on the rooftop on TV and complained to each other, and the beer in their hands was drunk for almost half an episode, which was unbearable, and they couldn't mix the male and female protagonists in hardcore dramas like the story of rural love.
Li Zhixian is an average of three sips and a can, and he throws it away as he drinks.
Fortunately, Liang De had the foresight to build a small briquetting machine into the waste picking robot, which can collect multiple cans and compress them into a metal block the size of a cigarette box, otherwise the house would be filthy again.
Li Zhixian dangled her feet on the sofa, the owl pattern on her socks seemed to be shaking her head constantly, she heard footsteps, turned her head and said hello to the owl that Liang Deti was holding in her hand.
"Yo, Lili."
The owl opened its beak in the cage and said:
"The time has come."
Surprised, the bird is still smoking.
Li Zhixian said to Liang De: "You open the cage, it wants to eat, and it won't run." ”
Liang De put the bird cage on the ground and opened it, and the owl inside walked out of the cage door and gave him a look of distress, and walked to the kitchen by himself.
Liang De watched the talking owl skillfully open the kitchen cabinet door and grab a bag of bird food and a bowl to pour out for himself, so sensible that it was distressing.
He said to Li Zhixian:
"Are you an owl or a parrot?"
"It's the long-eared owl, my original guide beast, whose name is Lili, will turn over and say a few nonsense words, and it can't compare to a parrot."
"You're quite willing to spend money on pets, and the staple food and complementary food are imported."
Liang De glanced at the untorn price tag on the bird food bag, yo, this bird eats better than people.
Holding the empty beer can, Li Zhixian squinted at the not-so-intelligent scavenging robot and threw it into the briquetting machine feed slot on top of it.
"The guide beast was raised by the bureau, and it used to be paid to my card, but later it was changed to direct distribution of materials, which is really inconvenient."
Liang De looked at the wine-stained salted fish, and felt that he had already understood why the Evil Disaster Bureau would change to send her supplies.
That is, bird food cannot be drunk, otherwise it will ......
"Lao Liang, you look at how much reserve grain there is in the cabinet, if there are more, I will hang a few packets and sell them online to buy wine."
The smoky owl was shocked when he heard Li Zhixian's words, and immediately spread his wings to block the kitchen cabinet door, and a deep sound came from the bird's beak:
"Evil is stirring!"
"Lili, you're so stingy! Wouldn't it be nice to eat less? ”
Li Zhixian stepped off the sofa and approached the bird food in the kitchen cabinet step by step.
The owl glass clings to the cabinet door, its eyes are intertwined with despair and courage, and a helpless voice comes from the beak of the bird:
"A dark fate is coming!"
Liang De gave the owl a reassuring look, and stepped forward to stop Li Zhixian.
"The balance has been collected, go to the supermarket tomorrow to buy the rest of the sacrifices, and by the way, buy you some discounted drinks, don't compete with the birds for food."
Li Zhixian fell backwards, his hands propped up on the floor, and his hands collapsed back on the sofa with a neat back hand.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock, I have set 30 alarms in your phone from 8 o'clock to 8:30 o'clock, it should be enough."
"Lao Liang, we are working flexibly, it's only the first week now, and there is a lot of time, do you want to be so rigid."
Li Zhixian turned on her phone and was about to delete the alarm clock, when Liang De's gloomy voice rang in her ears:
"Hair loss, gout, neck lines, athlete's foot, hemorrhoids, fox odor, bad breath, uncle odor, middle-aged hair fat, nose hair, lumbar disc herniation, mouth ulcers, chronic gastritis, ......"
Li Zhixian was chilled when she heard this, and hurriedly added another 30 alarm clocks to herself on her mobile phone, and after adding the alarm clock, she saw that the time was not early, and after washing, she went upstairs and lay down in the bedroom.
"See you tomorrow." From downstairs came the happy voice of the rigid social animal.
Li Zhixian pulled out the bedside table drawer full of wine versions, and drank three 50ml cognac versions in a row before falling asleep.
"Damn, it's more troublesome to be an evil god employee than to be a magical girl......"
……
At 9:10 a.m., the fresh food section of the supermarket was full of old men and old women.
Liang De asked Li Zhixian to push the shopping cart, and he stood two meters away from the shopping cart, flipping through the recommendations of today's sacrifices on the "Pure Sect Sacrifice".
The contents of this parchment book are not static, and the offerings used to worship Du Gongtai vary from day to day, and must be determined according to the recommended list of offerings for that day.
The main items he ordered online were the materials for building the altar of the evil god and several fixed offerings, and the rest of the offerings had to be purchased on an ad hoc basis.
"A box of hazelnut chocolates costs more than 110 grams. A can of seedless plums, more than 150 grams, and then take a pack of plain potato chips to share, two bags of fruit hard candy, and three boxes of matcha-flavored and strawberry-flavored Pocky.
Well, go to the fresh fruit section. ”
"One pound of jackfruit, two pounds of lychee, four coconut......
Pork ribs are so expensive, replace them with lamb slices...... Eldest sister, is this black tiger shrimp wild, why don't I look like it? Okay, okay, I'll buy some and go back and try it.
Master, catch a melon seed spot, just that one, yes, yes, the skiniest one, swim so lively, it must be delicious, let you skin.
Is there a rainbow sea bream?
Oh, I see, that one, the fat one, eh- yes. ”
After buying the fish, Liang De opened the shopping list on the tablet and compared it with the parchment, and said:
"There are still two bags of laundry pods and a box of conditioner, let's go to the daily chemical area."
Li Zhixian looked at the fish bouncing in the shopping cart, then looked at Liang De, and said:
"Lao Liang, are we buying sacrifices for the evil god, or are we helping his mother shop?
Is Mr. Thunder Chun Zongdu's request for sacrifices so close to the people?
Doesn't the new altar have to kill a few people to warm up the scene? ”
Liang De put away the tablet and said, "The evil gods you understand are those strange-shaped miscellaneous fish and monsters that the Evil Disaster Bureau usually deals with.
The four friends of Thunder are all high-level realm primordial walkers, and if they are serious, they may be able to subvert an empty and sea system, do you think they have anything that they can't get and must be sacrificed by you? ”
"Conditioner?" Li Zhixian guessed seriously.
Liang De shook his head: "These sacrifices are not for the evil god himself at all.
The Altar of the Evil God at Thunder Cliff has two main functions.
The first is used for up and down contact, which is equivalent to an internal office phone.
The second is to provide a trading platform between the dependents of evil gods.
These things we bought today are all requests from other evil god dependents, after sacrificing these things, you will have 100 points in your account, which will be automatically promoted to the beginner user group, and then you can use the internal communication function of the evil god altar normally, and you can also use the points to shop on the platform. ”
"You can still shop...... So what did you mean yesterday when you said that I was a pious blood and could get a six-percent discount? ”
"Suppose someone sacrifices one sacrifice to get 1 point, you only need to sacrifice 0.6 parts of the same sacrifice to get 1 point."
"Then I can pay for a sacrifice?"
"Brother Xian, your thinking in this area is really broad and active......
"Lao Liang, this project has a head, at the beginning of small profits and quick turnover, the development of users, I only draw ten points, who would not be happy?
You introduce a few more relatives of the evil gods you know to me, and I will give you dividends according to the head at that time, and one person will share two points for you! ”
Li Zhixian waved his hand, and he was arrogant.
"But Brother Xian, have you ever thought that if you are an ordinary family member of an evil god who does not have the privilege of sacrificing, at this time, a pious blood who has served the evil god for generations and has been handpicked as loyal by the above will come to you and ask you if you want to gather the wool of the evil god together...... What would you think? ”
"This bastard must be trying to fish for law enforcement!
I've been hooked by a colleague in the bureau before, and that year she was rated as an advanced worker! ”
Li Zhixian, who has rich life experience, thinks carefully about how to solve this key trust problem.
Liang De looked at her helplessly and sighed, it was half past nine, he turned on the cross-border communication switch of the special mobile phone to refresh the mailbox, and saw if Bai Hekong had replied to his email.
