MMORPG: Crowd Control

The woman was shocked by Lei Zhen's sudden price asking for the treatment. She was a bit speechless by him for being so straightforward.

Meanwhile, Lei Zhen mistook her silent response for something else.

"Miss, the price I asked for is really reasonable." Lei Zhen said awkwardly.

And he continued, "The tweezers, alcohol disinfection, soft cotton balls, and the bandage all add up to around $60. But with my great medical services, I can guarantee the bullet wound won't leave a scar. Hence, I only charged you $85 for it which is 70% lower than the average hospital fee."

A slight 'puchi' sound emitted from the woman's mouth as she started laughing at Lei Zhen's nervousness in price asking.

It was her first time seeing someone charging her and trying to reason himself.

"Do you really not know who I am?" She suddenly asked him.

Lei Zhen scratched his head, clearly confused by her question.

How was he supposed to know her?

Was she some sort of a famous person or a celebrity?

As a bookworm, Lei Zhen had naturally not been interested in the entertainment industry nor read the current news.

Showing a helpless expression, Lei Zhen shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. "Sorry Miss, I don't know who you are, so I apologize if it somehow offended you."

Although the woman in front of her was extremely beautiful and her short purple hair was alluring, Lei Zhen didn't dare to harbor much intention.

He was a realistic person and understood a woman such as her would definitely not put him in her eyes. It was like comparing a pile of poop to a peerless diamond. He dared not daydream such fantasy.

Meanwhile, the woman held an amused expression as she could sense that he wasn't lying to her.

"Well, thanks for your meticulous treatment. I, Liu Lingxin, will remember this debt of gratitude." The woman, Liu Lingxin introduced herself and purposely emphasized her surname, Liu.

'That should be enough hints, right?' Liu Lingxin thought. By emphasizing her surname, she believed Lei Zhen would finally know her background and be shocked to the core.

However, to her dismay, Lei Zhen held a calm expression and smiled briefly at her.

"Nice to meet you, Liu Lingxin. As for my name, my tag here should have told you already." He replied and pointed at his name tag on the left side of his chest which was labeled Lei Zhen.

Liu Lingxin faked a cough when she realized she was overthinking herself.

She took out her phone and said, "You can just scan the barcode on my phone to accept the payment."

Lei Zhen nodded his head.

Barcode scanning on the phone was another common payment type in the year 2089.

It was just that Lei Zhen thought someone like her who had received a bullet wound would not want to use her phone to pay. After all, if she had decided to come to a convenience store to try to cure her wound, then it must have meant that she didn't want anyone else to know her location.

Still, none of this was his business since he was just trying to earn some sales from this treatment. As for the rest, he could care less, and seeing how carefree Liu Lingxin was, there was no point in him worrying.

The saying goes that the emperor is not worried but the eunuchs are worried to death was what described the current scene. He wasn't a eunuch nor does he wish to place himself in some sticky situation.

He grabbed the barcode scanner that was placed on the counter and scanned her phone's barcode.

Beep!

The barcode scanner made a beeping sound, confirming the payment had been successful.

"Alrighty then, Liu Lingxin, you should be fine now." Lei Zhen stood up and placed the barcode scanner back in its original position.

"If you still want to purchase something in the convenience store, then feel free to glance around. If you have nothing else to do here and wish to leave, then, by all means, goodbye. I'll be returning to my work."

Liu Lingxin was originally dazed until she saw Lei Zhen returning to his work. She couldn't help but ask him in a dumbfounded tone, "You don't want my contact number?"

Lei Zhen paused his footsteps, turned around, and raised his eyebrow. "Why would I want your contact number? I know my limits and someone like you is above my league. I wouldn't dare to daydream."

With that said, he turned around and proceeded to stock up the new potato chips on the shelves, ignoring the baffled look from Liu Lingxin.

Although Liu Lingxin was a beautiful woman, Lei Zhen didn't dare to harbor nefarious intentions toward her. Just a glance at the clothes she wore were all branded clothes and designed by famous people.

Not to mention, the people she interacted with must be the big shots in the current society. He couldn't afford to interact with her and possibly bring some calamity to his normal life.

For someone like him who had no money or background, those big shots could easily have him buried alive and not a single media would report the news.

Rather than dying without a corpse remaining, Lei Zhen preferred to be humble and earn enough money to support his sister's medical fees.

'Sigh, what an unlucky first day at work. This Liu Lingxin must be a daughter of a conglomerate and have encountered her competitor's enemies. I should have been more careful and greedier. Why did I charge her only $145 for the treatment?' Lei Zhen lamented his dumb brain.

He should have inspected her more thoroughly instead of trying to act like some saint and avoid looking at her body figure.

If he had leered at her body figure longer, then he would have noticed her branded clothes alone cost up to 300-500 thousand dollars.

While he felt like crying, Liu Lingxin remained still for a few minutes before standing up and leaving the convenience store.

Though, she made sure to sneak a final glance at Lei Zhen before muttering in a low voice, "Lei Zhen huh… why does this name sound so familiar?"
