Chapter 170: Buying Electronics (Part 1)

"We should buy the refrigerator from Haier, and buy one which isn’t that space consuming . After all, the surface area of our house isn’t that big . "

"As for the washing machine, Siemens and Samsung are better, but I prefer Siemens . "

"The television . . "

Lu Shu brought Lu Xiaoyu to a bench at ‘eight cube electronics hub’ and both of them were discussing the brochure which they had just received . A teenager with a younger sister who had a squirrel on her head . Somehow this scene looked quite strange no matter how you looked at it .

And no one attended to them . After all, they looked more like people who could possibly buy a handphone rather than large electronic items .

It wasn’t that they were looked down on, it was just that there were many customers today and the salespersons had to choose the customers which had the most potential for making purchases .

The two of them didn’t know much about electronics and one of them was searching online and looking on reviews on forums . In this day and age, reviews had to be carefully regarded as some reviews were crafted by workers of the company . . .

"Air-conditioners from Gree are better . People claim that those similar brands are manufactured by smaller companies and that their brands are just pasted on as their production lines couldn’t keep up with the demand…" Lu Shu said .

Lu Xiaoyu then asked, "How many air-conditioners are we buying?"

Lu Shu thought for a moment, "Two? One for the living room and another for your room . Depending on the weather, I can sleep on a mat on your floor if I have to . This way, we can save on the cost of one air-conditioner . It’s three thousand dollars . "

Lu Shu claimed to be willing to spend initially, but now that he was in this huge electronics store, he started being extremely calculative like he how he was used to . A leopard can never change its spots . . .

Lu Xiaoyu nodded, "Then we’ll buy two air-conditioners . I heard neighbors mentioning that Sino gas company wanted to install heaters in our houses but it was too expensive and many owners did not agree . "

"Yeah, I didn’t agree too…" Lu Shu said, slightly depressed, "At that time, our landlord wanted us to cough out this sum of money, it was more than 10 thousand dollars and I didn’t have it… If I had known that I could earn money in the remain, I would have agreed . I’ve never stayed in a house with a heater . Apparently, houses in the south didn’t have heaters, who knew how they managed to live their lives…"

Lu Shu then thought that those fellow citizens in the south were quite pitiful before thinking again, he didn't have a heater as well… and the temperature of those people’s winter was much higher than Luo Cheng’s . . .

At this moment, little fury was on Lu Xiaoyu’s head looking all around . It felt that the human world was actually warm and friendly, unlike those skeletons who only wanted to kill . It once ran towards the core of the remain only for a skeleton squad to dig their way out from Earth, scaring the living lights out of it . It then decided it was more practical to stay amongst the fruit trees . After all, there were so many squirrels there .

He looked at this new world with curiosity . There were too many things that he had never seen before, weird humans who wore weird and different clothes .

‘Lord of the rings’ was currently being broadcasted in front of little fury and it was curious as to what exactly it was . Just as it started observing, a monster emerged, scaring little fury and causing it to cover its eyes immediately!

"Alright, let’s go buy it since we have decided," Lu Shu brought Lu Xiaoyu over to the salesperson, "Hello, we would like the Siemens washing machine which costs 4399 dollars, the 1888 dollars refrigerator from Haier…" These were decisions made after the two had observed for a long time . Air-conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, television, rice cooker et cetera, everything was chosen after much consideration . Lu Shu planned on negotiating with the manager after the price had been calculated . Buying each individual item was just not worth it .

The salesperson was stunned . She keyed in all the items into her computer and she actually thought that these two siblings came in just to rest after shopping . Who would have guessed that they were really shopping for electronics?

All these cost about twenty thousand dollars . Who had so much confidence in their children’s money handling? And right after, Lu Shu and the manager were slowly haggling over the price . Lu Shu now had plenty of time to argue and the manager was eventually mentally exhausted by Lu Shu,

Seeing distress points from the manager coming in bundles of tens, although it was quite a low value, there were many waves of it and it was quite a good feeling .

The manager suddenly wondered why this teenager was getting more agitated the more they spoke about the price . . .

In actual fact, Lu Shu had realized that there was an advantage in this mischief system of his . If he ever got into a squabble with someone, he could remain calm and collected due to the income of distress points which could even help him improve his battle capabilities .

Lu Xiaoyu opened a bag of chips at the side . One bite for her, one bite for little fury . Another bite for her, another bite for her, another bite for her . . .

"From little fury’s distress, +1+1+1…"

Finally, Lu Shu and the manager finally agreed on a price . Before the manager could heave a sigh of relief, Lu Shu whipped out his daoyuan identification card, "A further 200 dollar discount!"

The manager stared at the identification card in disbelief . It was actually the first time someone asked for a discount using a daoyuan card!

200 dollars, so be it!

Lu Shu was stunned . He was just testing it and didn’t expect it to really work .

For some reason, he suddenly felt like the advantages and higher standing of practitioners within society had become even more drastic .

Just moments ago, Lu Shu saw a few metahumans as spokespersons on a Samsung commercial and each of them had their own specialty .

Such advertisements were still not seen in China but they would probably surface someday… who knows?

Lu Shu noticed that those metahumans in the commercials were class E elemental types . Under normal circumstances, elemental types would make more visually pleasing commercials but based on competency in battle, Lu Shu felt that one spear of his was all he needed to take each of them out . Those elemental metahumans could control elements but they probably couldn’t block the attacks of strength types .

Moreover, his spear was a magical weapon?

Lu Shu was shocked suddenly . He didn’t know when but when he started looking at practitioners, the first thing he would access was their effectiveness in battle and their class and abilities compared to his own . Simply put… it was whether or not he could beat them in battle .

Metahumans of other countries had many different styles and they looked to be commercialized any moment while he himself couldn’t come up with any business ideas currently .

Because he had come into contact with that spy and knew about the huge losses of the Indians through this experience in the remain .

He could see that beneath the peaceful surface, there were huge waves already building up .

This world was never actually peaceful .
