Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

"Three times? On what grounds?" she asked, then suddenly remembered that Xixi had just explained it: a tainted guest, what a tainted guest!

Fine, it's your shop, you call the shots, she'll have to accept her fate!

You like crystals? Then I'll use crystals to humiliate you!

"I'll pay four times the price. You must stop all other orders right now and start working on this!"

Xixi casually wrote, "Ten times the price for unconditional queue jumping!"

"Fine! I'll pay ten times!" she said, her heart bleeding, but she forced herself to keep quiet for the sake of her pride.

This time, Xixi finally looked up at her and said seriously, word by word, "Because you are a tainted customer, you need to pay three times the price to order. If you want to cut in line unconditionally, you need to multiply the price by ten times, which is thirty times the original price. I have already calculated it for you. It comes to a total of 336,000 crystal stones. Let's round it up to 340,000 crystal stones!"

"Oh, by the way, we're a small business, so we don't offer credit. Please count the crystals on the spot and pay in person!" With that, he cleared the area in front of him, indicating that the other party could put the crystals down.

"Are you crazy for money?! 340,000 crystals, how dare you ask for that!" Iris finally broke down, her eyes and face red, glaring fiercely at Xixi.

Xixi didn't care, shrugged, and rolled her eyes, "Why act like a big shot if you don't have money!"

"I'm rich! I've got plenty of money! It's just 340,000 crystals, right? I have that!" With that, she actually started throwing bags of crystals at the top of her head.

It is evident that those who participate in the selection are all of considerable status, and the rare storage rings are not uncommon; they have become standard equipment for these participating females when they go out!

As the thirty-four bags of crystals came crashing down, Iris finally roared triumphantly, "Is that enough now?"

"Of course... no way!" Xixi didn't even glance at her, but instead said to Tuntun, who was tasting the condiments, "This person is trying to cut in line. Here are 340,000 high-grade crystals. Help me count them, and I'll give you half as compensation later!"

"Huh? Cutting in line? Who?" Her mind wasn't on this at all, so she had no idea what was going on. But the moment she saw the aggressive Iris, she immediately understood. She knew that Xixi wanted to find a third party to help her verify the currency.

After all, as the person at the very front of the group, Iris's cutting in line directly harmed her interests. At the same time, as a wealthy woman who had been dealing with crystals for a long time, she could naturally tell the quality of crystals at a glance!

After thinking it through, she didn't refuse. She came over and sat down, checking everything bit by bit. However, she still said, "Forget about half the compensation, just offset it directly. Make me some more food later!"

Xi Xi's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but smile. This was truly a wonderful person.

He is worldly-wise but not cynical, wealthy but not greedy, knows when to advance and retreat, and understands gains and losses. He is a person worth associating with!

So, while Yunxi was still preparing food, Tuntun started counting the crystals in front of everyone, and neither side was delayed.

It has to be said that this person with a huge sum of money is indeed quite capable. Soon, she divided the thirty-four bags of crystals into four piles. Pointing to the largest pile, she said, "These are all mid-grade crystals, a total of 232,768 pieces."

“These are low-grade crystals, a total of 56,312.” She pointed to the two smaller piles and continued, “These are waste crystals, that is, useless crystals with leaked energy. It may have been caused by a mistake during the mining process, or it may have been… that someone absorbed the energy from them! Because many of them are already broken, it is impossible to assess the exact number… Oh well, they are just waste materials anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether we assess them or not.”

Without pausing, he pointed to the last small handful of crystals, "These are the real top-grade crystals, a total of 1,861!"

After giving the report, she looked up at Xixi and said, "They said it would cost 340,000 to cut in line, right? She's still a long way off. I'm going to go wait for my food!"

After saying that, without any hesitation, he happily ran back to the stove, stared at the flames, and showed a happy and satisfied smile.

But even after she left, the crowd did not disperse. Their gazes slowly shifted from the crystal on the ground to Iris, carrying a hint of disdain.

Finally, someone couldn't help but mutter, "If you don't have money, why pretend to be rich!"

"Shut up!" Iris's face turned as red as a purplish-red as she glared fiercely around.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too eerie, or perhaps it was because her face was truly ugly, but no one wanted to cause trouble, so they all avoided her and did not argue with her.

"Are you still going to buy it or not?" Xixi didn't kick him while he was down; instead, she asked calmly.

"Buy it!" Iris bit her lip, her voice seemingly bursting out from between her teeth, full of resentment.

She couldn't bear to take back the money she'd already given away!

So, she waved her hand dismissively and said in a seemingly generous manner, "You can arrange it yourself!"

Xixi chuckled lightly and didn't argue with her, saying that she could arrange it herself, but in reality, even if she used the money, she wouldn't be able to buy much.

One thousand low-grade crystals are equal to one mid-grade crystal, and one thousand mid-grade crystals are equal to one high-grade crystal.

Her thirty-four bags of items, when converted into high-grade crystals, would actually only amount to two thousand high-grade crystals. However, as a tainted guest, these crystals could only be used as eight hundred and sixty high-grade crystals.

A bowl of soup on the menu costs five hundred high-grade crystals, and her thirty-four bags of crystals can't even buy two bowls of soup!

"Alright!" After some writing and drawing, Xixi presented the best plan according to her budget and handed it to the other party. "Take a look yourself. If you'd like, sign it. You're number nineteen in line. There are eighteen customers ahead of you. It'll probably be this evening before you get a turn!"

This is similar to the ticket dispenser in my previous life. She handles the cashier's work on one side, while Yunxi serves the food on the other, working together seamlessly.

After Iris paid, Xia Lan, who had been craving it for a long time, finally couldn't resist. Although she didn't buy much, she also ordered ten cumin skewers and successfully joined the queue.

After finishing the checkout, Xixi finally had some free time. She kept one bag of crystals for herself and threw the rest into the baby bag.

She has now realized that her cubs are money-devouring beasts; no matter how many crystals she earns, they can swallow them all in one gulp!

Perhaps due to the influx of a large amount of energy, her condition finally improved somewhat. The ever-present feeling of hunger subsided a bit, and she was able to concentrate her mental energy.

However, there are always people who can't stand to see her comfortable!

Iris and Xia Lan, who considered themselves her guests, insisted on sitting near her.
