Chapter 68 Shopping Paradise
Sure enough, neither "A Narrow Encounter" nor "When Flowers Bloom" appeared in the chat lobby after that.
They were probably exchanging information there, or secretly calculating the time, planning to exchange all the resources in her spatial backpack for her.
Yu Qi wasn't particularly resentful of the two's scheme.
She also used special cards to deal with the two guys; now it's just a matter of who has the better skills.
As for the flower blooming, did this guy also get a bad luck card?
Even if there were similar cards, they wouldn't pose much of a threat to Yu Qi. She mainly had a lot of strange and unusual cards, including three side-effect removal cards!
Yu Qi tapped her fingers and waited.
Suddenly, I sensed some movement from my home.
She opened the storage compartment and saw that one of the card compartments was emitting a dazzling golden light.
Upon drawing out one of the special cards, Yu Qi discovered that it wasn't a side effect removal card, but rather a glowing gold card from Shopping Paradise.
After the gold card was taken out, it automatically floated in mid-air and then cast a white beam of light.
The shadow of a goat-like monster dressed in a black uniform slowly emerged.
The goat monster had barely appeared when it gracefully performed a retro bow and then looked over respectfully with its amber eyes.
"Dear Gold Card VIP, I am Aries Manager from Shopping Paradise. Tonight, Shopping Paradise will be hosting a grand masquerade ball, and we sincerely invite all our distinguished guests to attend..."
The Aries said a lot of respectful things and finally promised that all the gold card guests present would receive a big gift.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qi's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
This shopping paradise is so considerate, they even give away a big gift package?
In other words, even if she doesn't spend any money there, she can still receive a big gift?
What are we waiting for?
Yu Qi instantly forgot about the chance encounter and the blooming flowers, and readily accepted the manager's invitation.
What's there to be afraid of? She's a gold card holder at the shopping paradise!
The Black Cat store manager said that as long as she is in the shopping paradise, she is absolutely safe.
No monster dares to lay a hand on a shopping paradise's gold card VIP, because it would offend the entire shopping paradise!
Yu Qi had just agreed when the Aries manager in the black uniform smiled even more broadly and quickly waved his hand.
A golden road stretched out from the darkness ahead, with a golden building faintly visible at the end, along with swaying lights and shadows.
"Dear Gold Card Guest, simply follow this path to reach our ballroom. Have a wonderful evening!"
The figure of the Aries manager slowly disappeared, but the golden road remained shining brightly.
"Sixth Brother, do you think it's okay for me to go to the shopping paradise today?" Yu Qi asked his assistant all the way.
"Wow, you were actually invited there directly, and there's even a golden path to the front!"
"Do you know how lucky you are? So many monster families want to attend this kind of masquerade ball, but they can't get in!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's go check it out! You might just find something good! The great gifts from the shopping paradise are never bad!"
"It's a pity I don't have a physical form yet, otherwise I would definitely shamelessly follow you and go see the world together!"
The little helper was yelling and screaming inside the vehicle.
Yu Qi was completely relieved. Why not go to a ball where you can get free gifts?
"Then you stay outside and keep an eye on the chat lobby, see what those two guys, 'Narrow Encounters' and 'When Flowers Bloom,' are saying this again."
"I'm going right now!"
Yu Qi picked up his important weapon and put it in the storage compartment.
As for the few mutated offspring, they stayed inside the vehicle to guard the base and prevent monsters from attacking them in the middle of the night.
Wait a minute, you can't exactly go to a dance wearing combat gear, can you?
Yu Qi had previously bought a combat suit in the chat lobby for easier combat, and she liked it very much because it made her look dashing.
I can't dress like this for a dance!
After thinking for a moment, she hurriedly bought a new burgundy fishtail dress from the trading shop, and pinned the turtle hair clip on it as a brooch, giving herself a simple makeover.
With everything prepared, she stepped onto the glittering golden road and set off following the signs ahead.
Stepping onto this golden avenue, the heat of the outside world is completely shut out, as if you have instantly entered a bright and sunny spring, with the fragrance of flowers in the distance.
She walked forward step by step and soon saw a leopard-print monster.
This leopard-print monster is very similar to a human, and its face has a wild beauty, completely different from the previous pig-headed and goat-headed monsters.
Yu Qi muttered to herself, wondering if this handsome young man in leopard print was specially sent by Manager Aries.
How thoughtful! Knowing she's human, they specially arranged for a handsome guy who's more human-like to come over.
"Honorable Gold Card Guest, this way please." The leopard-print-clad young man's smile never stopped after he saw her.
"Honorable guest, let me introduce you. This masquerade ball is hosted by Shopping Paradise, mainly for everyone to come here and relax..."
The guy in leopard print introduced a lot, and at the end he even brought out a bunch of masks.
"Distinguished guest, every guest entering the masquerade ball must wear a mask. Which mask would you like?"
After seeing her clothes, the young man picked out all the exquisite half-masks.
"Distinguished guest, your appearance is exceptionally beautiful, making you perfectly suited for such exquisite and beautiful masks. What do you think of these?"
The leopard-print guy looked over expectantly, his brown eyes sparkling brightly.
Actually, Yu Qi thought any mask would do, and originally wanted to randomly choose a monster-shaped mask.
However, with such a handsome guy staring at her so intently and adopting such a humble attitude, she found it hard to refuse.
"Okay, this is it." Yu Qi put the gold mask that the leopard-print guy was holding on her face.
"Could you tell me what I should be aware of when attending this ball? What fun things are there to do around the ball?"
Yu Qi asked calmly.
She holds a gold card.
This shopping paradise should treat her as one of the very wealthy customers.
In reality, Yu Qi had never even seen a shopping paradise, let alone a masquerade ball of this caliber.
Asking for more information will help you find the best deals later!
Yes, she had no intention of dancing at this masquerade ball or enjoying life.
Everyone's just trying to survive, why bother with all that fancy stuff? Why not take this opportunity to grab some freebies!
At this price, a masquerade ball must have plenty of drinks and some free small gifts. Is it unreasonable for her to take them multiple times?
Becoming a Gold Card VIP member is not excessive at all, okay?
The guy in leopard print over there was clearly very happy to see her choosing the mask he picked.
They explained all the things that needed to be noted about this masquerade ball.
"Distinguished guest, the very purpose of this 'Very Masked' shopping paradise is to entertain valued members like you and make you feel right at home..."
"Therefore, all distinguished guests who come today, regardless of what you purchase, will receive an additional item of equal value as a gift!"
"Furthermore, there are many games at this ball, and if you place in any game, you can receive lots of free gifts!"
"Not only that, you can also participate in a discount lottery at checkout. If you win, everything you buy today can be taken home for free!"
The more the leopard-print guy talked, the brighter Yu Qi's eyes became.
Is there really such a good thing?
Thank goodness she came, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!
This is a great opportunity to take advantage of freebies!
Wait a moment, and she immediately went over with the leather bag.
