"True."

Chen Mang silently withdrew his gaze from the clerk. Since no one was buying, there was naturally no need to restock. However, he quickly realized something and turned to look at the clerk again: "After such a long time, is this stuff still edible?"

"Everything is fine to eat, ha."

"Really?"

"Yes, ha."

"Why do you add 'ha' at the end of every sentence?"

"It's set by the boss; makes it seem more friendly, ha." The clerk behind the counter smiled and looked at Chen Mang and his companions as he replied.

Biaozi shivered instinctively, holding his arms and feeling the goosebumps rising on his skin. To be honest, during the bustling daytime, seeing these robots seemed quite interesting; they wore bikinis with a full imitation human body.

Viewers might actually feel something.

Really stand up.

But if it's nighttime and you're alone in this city, it really turns into a horror movie. Why does it always give people an eerie feeling when talking here?

Wait.

Biaozi suddenly thought of something, hesitating for a while before approaching the clerk and tentatively putting his hand on the clerk's shoulder.

In the casino, the beauties in red bikinis all acted sleazy and seductive, merely requiring a touch to say, "Sir, want to come? 100,000 points."

Although such behavior isn't unreasonable in that casino environment.

But this clerk, wearing short sleeves and jeans, had a very normal appearance, looking just like the girl next door. Surely she wouldn't act like those sleazy casino beauties?

The next moment—

The clerk, sensing the physical contact, smiled at Biaozi.

"Sir, want to come? 30,000 points."

"Damn, I knew it!"

Biaozi cursed in frustration and quickly withdrew his arm. He realized that it wasn't the casino environment but the city environment—here, anyone can do whatever they want as long as they pay.

But...

Only 30,000 points, two-thirds cheaper than the casino, so it's quite cost-effective.

Though he still feels it's better to directly go to a custom shop; aren't custom shops cheaper?

No, he was just led around. Gosh, why go to a custom shop? It's all robots, nothing fun about it. Leaving the real deal to play with robots?!

At this moment—

The doorbell suddenly rang, and a burly man strode into the shop, loudly shouting: "Where is everybody?"

Ignoring Chen Mang and his group, he directly placed his wristwatch in front of the counter instrument, and the sound of 30,000 points being credited occurred, then he just walked behind the clerk, pressing the clerk against the desk.

"Wait..."

Biaozi confusedly looked at his reflection on the refrigerator: "Master Mang, we're not in stealth mode, right?"

"How can he just ignore us like that?"

"..."

Chen Mang squinted a bit, carefully observing the scene in front of him; the burly man was working hard, and the clerk was cooperative. What was just a formal scene instantly turned weird; naturally, this burly man was also a robot.

So he's the city's decoy.

There wasn't anyone around this convenience store except for their group; others couldn't reach this area for now.

This decoy didn't randomly appear here to press the clerk; more likely, it's a program set by the city's owner, intentionally creating an absurd sense of decay, allowing customers to gradually sink here.

"Let's get out."

Chen Mang put down the Red Heart Nut and led Biaozi and the others straight out of the convenience store, pausing at the door for thirty seconds, then suddenly strode back into the store.

"Eh, still at it?"

"No worries, sorry to interrupt, carry on."

He initially thought those two robots performed just for them; when they left, naturally, they'd stop. Surprisingly, they still carried on; apparently, the program was set: once begun, it must end.

However—

Chen Mang suddenly smiled, thinking of a quicker way to earn points. These robots are all loaded with money, very generous in spending. Perhaps he could try asking each robot, to see if he could trigger any money-making tasks.

Like the one in the casino.

Immediately, he strode back into the convenience store, looking at the burly man busy behind the clerk, seriously saying: "Hello, brother."

"May I help you with anything?"

"Sure!"

The burly man cursed and swore while exerting: "I'm very pissed off right now! This morning, a batch of goods was robbed by the damn 'Viper Gang' over at a nearby street. If you can help me retrieve this batch, I'll reward you richly!"

"What?"

Standing behind Chen Mang, Biaozi looked at this scene full of disbelief, his voice involuntarily rising: "Is this f**king for real?!"

"We're pros at fighting."

Chen Mang laughed happily, clearly, this city indeed designated some robots with triggerable plot tasks, providing greater experience to the customers here.

Allowing those not very wealthy to engage in this city.

Meanwhile, adding more playability.

So this 'convenience store' should be the plot trigger point.

Once a customer enters this convenience store and stays for a certain time, this burly man will walk in, then in an enraged state press down the clerk that still appeared as the girl next door earlier.
