Chapter 1350: Christmas Gift

On December 25, at night, Iwata Convenience Store.

Yamazaki found that when the suspect was wandering into a corner of the convenience store, he took something out of his pocket and dropped it, then went straight to the cashier, took a pack of chewing gum that he took halfway, and lined up in front of the cashier.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yamazaki went to the corner to have a look and found that the suspect had lost a plastic bag.

Although he didn't feel the danger, Yamazaki squatted down to check carefully, and found that there was something wrapped in newspaper in the plastic bag.

Yamazaki looked at the pile of things that looked like bricks, and couldn't help thinking, this can't be money, can it?

When I opened the gaps in the newspaper, I saw that it was really money. It seemed to be 10,000 yen a piece.

Yamazaki weighed it, and it was about 300,000 yen.

What's the meaning? compensation?

Yamazaki took the plastic bag to find the suspect, "Sir, please follow me to the store manager and tell me what's going on?"

"This..." The suspect was speechless.

"You don't want to say anything about it here, do you?" Yamazaki said, "Please."

"Yes, yes." The suspect said with a bad face.

"Xiao Xuan, please come here too." Yamazaki said.

"Oh, I'll be right here." Qi Chuanxuan responded quickly. ...

Toilet.

Yamazaki knocked on the door, "You are all here, so the secret entrance is here?"

"No," Mei Daizi asked, "brother, what are you holding?"

"Guess what." Yamazaki took the newspaper package out of the plastic bag.

Yuanzi asked, "This can't be money, can it?"

"Excellent, I guessed it right." Yamazaki unwrapped the newspaper package, revealing the brand new money inside, "This plastic bag was left by the customer next to me in the corner of the convenience store."

"It's about 300,000 yen," store manager Iwata came over, "customer, what's going on?"

"I..." The suspect hesitated to speak.

At this time, Qi Chuanxuan ran over and stood beside Lan silently.

Mei Daizi asked: "Hey, tell me quickly, is it because you stole something here before, so you want to use the money to compensate?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." The suspect said shamefully.

"It's really you?" Sonoko called.

"I'm sorry." The suspect saluted the store manager, "I'm very sorry."

"And Xiao Xuan." Lan asked back, "You caused Xiao Xuan to be treated as a thief, shouldn't you apologize?"

"Yes," the suspect hurriedly saluted Qi Chuanxuan, "I'm sorry."

"Sir, I'm curious now, how on earth did you steal from me?" Store Manager Iwata asked, "Are there any secret entrances and exits in my store?"

"That," the suspect said shyly, "I've actually been living on the ceiling of this bathroom before."

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.

"My name is Yicheng Baodian," Yicheng Baodian sighed. "Because I lost my job and couldn't find a job, my money bottomed out, so I had no choice but to hide on the ceiling of the convenience store."

"So that's how it is," said store manager Iwata, "so you step aside when you go to the bathroom, so that you can hide when no one is around."

"Yes." Yicheng Baodian said shyly.

"I said," Mei Daizi smiled, "I thought you had kleptomania or something."

Yuanzi smiled and said, "That's right, you are obviously rich, but you still come here to be a thief, and you still live on the dark and narrow ceiling."

"No, no," Yicheng Baodian said quickly, "I really had no money before."

"Then where did you get the money?" Lan asked, "Did you steal it?"

"No, no." Yicheng Baodian said quickly, "I got an unexpected harvest in the magic world of the cocoon game today.

So I exchanged the game currency for cash. "

"So that's the case." Mei Daizi smiled.

Yuanzi said, "Then what you ate earlier..."

Yicheng Baodian interface said: "It's for living."

Lan said: "The stolen things..."

Yicheng Baodian said, "Some are for my own use, and some are for money to take care of myself." Then he smiled wryly, "If my body is dirty and smelly, and I have a lot of hair and beard, I won't be able to get in."

"Indeed, in that case, I won't let you appear in the store." The store manager Iwata said, and then asked, "But, you said you live on this ceiling, but I just checked, and there is nothing here , how did you do it?"

"You mean garbage, right?" Yicheng Baodian said, "Every morning I have a full meal, and then I take out the garbage during the rush hour, and then I go out looking for work until evening, and then I come back after eating something casually, Hide in during rush hour, wait until you close to get something to eat, then go back to sleep on the ceiling until the next morning, in order to avoid you finding out, I clean up after using the bathroom at night."

"I see." Iwata store manager said.

"Shop manager, please don't call the police." Yicheng Baodian pleaded, "If you feel that the money is not enough to compensate for your loss, I will definitely compensate you in full in the future."

"No need, the money is enough." Store manager Iwata said, "Although the anti-theft camera was installed because of you, it will be installed sooner or later, so forget it."

"Thank you store manager, thank you store manager." Yicheng Baodian said happily.

"Hey, don't be too happy, there is Xiaoxuan." Mei Daizi said.

Lan said, "Yes, you have caused her to suffer so much."

Yuanzi said, "Xiaoxuan, tell me what you want to do."

Yicheng Baodian said sincerely: "Miss Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry, just say what you want."

"I," Qi Chuanxuan hesitated and said, "I just want to know why you chose to be on duty when I was on duty."

Yicheng Baodian said ashamedly: "Well, it's just a coincidence. I think that if I take things every day, I may soon reveal my secrets, so I take things for three days at a time. I didn't expect that your shifts happen to happen every three days."

Manager Iwata asked curiously: "How do you know that shifts are changed every three days?"

Yicheng Baodian said shamelessly: "A month ago, when the store manager reprimanded Miss Xiaoxuan, I accidentally overheard it."

"So that's how it is." Store Manager Iwata asked, "What about your month?"

Yicheng Baodian said with shame: "After that time, I felt very uncomfortable. It happened that there was a game guild recruiting people in the game city, and the machine, food and housing were included for a month. I gritted my teeth and went, and then stayed in the game city. Inside, I didn’t come back until the contract expired yesterday.”

"Wait, it was you yesterday, right?" Store Manager Iwata said angrily, "You have been working for a month, why do you still come to my place to steal things? If that is the case, I will never forgive you."

"No, no, store manager, don't get me wrong," Yicheng Baodian said hastily, "I have no salary for this month, and the game guild didn't give me a penny."

"Nonsense, there is no such thing." Iwata store manager said, "You must have spent your salary."

"Really not," Yicheng Baodian was sweating anxiously, "There is really no salary, because my game character's experience, skills and equipment, etc., are my salary for this month."

"What he said is true. Guilds in wizarding world games generally don't give money, because although the game characters become more powerful, the game coins that can be obtained every day will increase, and game coins can be directly exchanged for cash. Mei Daizi said, "Because it was the end of the year, there were a lot of people exchanging game currency for cash, and the official exchange rate was lowered a lot. Now, one copper coin can be exchanged for 120 yen. This 300,000 yen will probably take 2,500 copper coins, that is, 25 silver coins, if he waits for the new year to change the money, maybe he can get tens of thousands of yen more."

"That's right," Yicheng Baodian quickly echoed, "That's it."

Store manager Iwata asked in disbelief: "If you earn 25 silver coins in the game, can you exchange for 300,000 yen?"

"Please, do you think that the money in the game is so easy to earn? That is much more cruel than the reality. If you accidentally lose, you will lose everything." Mei Daizi said, "He was taken away by the union for a month like this If not, the game currency obtained every day may be just enough to make ends meet, and it is still too early to develop the characters in the game."

"That's it." Yicheng Baodian said, "But as long as you continue to play with this game character, I believe that you will be able to exchange extra game coins for money."

"Well, although I still don't quite understand it, it seems that there is no need for it." The store manager Iwata said, "I wanted to give you a job."

"Shop, store manager." Yicheng Baodian cried emotionally, "Thank you, thank you."

"Then, that's the end of this matter." The store manager Iwata said, and then he said to Nanakawa Aya a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I blamed you wrongly, and please don't take it to heart."

Qi Chuanxuan shook her head and said, "I won't."

"By the way, excuse me for asking one more question," Store Manager Iwata asked Mei Daizi, "How are you going to arrange Xiaoxuan next?"

"This matter depends on Xiaoxuan's own opinion." Yamazaki said, "Whether it is studying or working, there is no problem."

"I..." Qi Chuanxuan hesitated again and again, "I don't know either."

"Then go study." Teacher Judy smiled, "Knowledge is power."

"Really, is it okay?" Qi Chuanxuan asked nervously.

"Of course." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I just don't know whether you plan to go to high school or take the college entrance examination class."

Lan smiled and said, "In high school, you're one year behind us, Xiaoxuan, you have to call our senior sister."

"Xiaoxuan, why don't you go to the college entrance examination class." Mei Daizi smiled, "I'll see you at the university."

"Okay." Qi Chuanxuan nodded expectantly.

"Cough," said store manager Iwata, "Since this is the case, Xiao Xuan will leave it to you."

"Don't worry, I will let someone take care of Xiaoxuan." Mei Daizi said.

"However, Xiaoxuan," store manager Iwata said with some embarrassment, "I have to ask you to do me a favor. It's hard to find staff during the Chinese New Year. Please leave after the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, manager." Qi Chuanxuan said with a smile. ...
