Chapter 45 - Membership Fee? Do You Think This is Enough?

After checking out with Crazy Blade, he carried the bread, water, and sandpaper toilet paper toward the elevator!

Before leaving, the enthusiastic Crazy Blade repeatedly reminded Lin Yu, “If you have any difficulties, be sure to come find me in Room 1111!

“We hit it off, Brother Feng Du. Don’t be too polite!”

Lin Yu, of course, had no idea what Crazy Blade was imagining!

Crazy Blade leaving on his own was indeed a good thing for Lin Yu!

After all, even though he didn’t plan to eat or use anything from the supermarket, with his current balance of 100,000 yuan in the card… he could casually buy something without worry!

But this annoying room card printed the balance on the card’s surface, and in front of Crazy Blade, it was really awkward to take it out!

This guy had been flaunting his wealth for so long, and the moment he pulled out the card would surely be embarrassing!

Moreover, Lin Yu didn’t want to reveal his “financial strength” too early or too conspicuously to Crazy Blade.

Although Crazy Blade seemed warm-hearted and righteous, he likely wasn’t a bad person, such straightforward people could easily be used by others to extract information!

Lin Yu had already made up his mind to keep a low profile and not expose his identity in reality, so he naturally wanted to minimize risks!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After all, sometimes human hearts are harder to read than ghosts!

Therefore, Lin Yu planned to send Crazy Blade away and go check out the second floor!

He remembered very clearly that the second floor… had a “high-end lifestyle store for members”!

While he wanted to keep a low profile, there was no need to force himself to eat those moldy foods… especially the sandpaper-like toilet paper!

This really shocked Lin Yu!

After Crazy Blade’s elevator slowly ascended, Lin Yu pressed the button for the upward elevator, and another one opened.

He stepped inside, and surprisingly, the elevator ghost, upon seeing Lin Yu, was also silent and didn’t even mention payment!

Lin Yu guessed that perhaps there was some communication between the two elevator ghosts!

When the elevator doors opened, Lin Yu arrived on the second floor!

The entire second floor looked very different from the other floors Lin Yu had been to!

The ground was covered with a deep red carpet, the walls were adorned with light gray wallpaper, and even oil paintings were hanging.

Aside from the pervasive yin energy and the fact that most of the paintings featured grotesque organs and severed limbs… this floor surprisingly didn’t seem so hellish!

In fact, the yellowish lights in the hallway were somewhat bright, making Lin Yu temporarily think he had returned to reality!

“Wow, is this what a ‘high-consumption venue’ looks like? It wins on environment alone!” Lin Yu exclaimed and quickly found the upscale lifestyle store!

A delicate sign and artistically designed font radiated a deep red glow, with the words “Beyond Selections” appearing eye-catching yet not jarring.

The large frosted glass door at the entrance also exuded an air of sophistication!

Lin Yu felt increasingly intrigued!

He had actually found a sense of wealth disparity in the ghost realm!

Thinking about the supermarket downstairs, it was completely overshadowed by this store!

Lin Yu approached the double frosted glass doors, and they opened automatically!

Not because they were automatic doors… but because two paper ghosts dressed in dark red servant uniforms slowly opened the door for him.

These two paper ghost servants, although of the vengeful ghost level, were among the stronger ranks!

They were even slightly stronger than the elevator ghost!

At the same time, while they emanated a dead aura and looked pale as paper, their faces were adorned with eerie red makeup, clearly indicating they had been made up!

One of the paper ghost servants looked at Lin Yu and offered a smile that kept others at a distance, “Hello, sir, this store is members-only and does not provide services for ordinary residents of Beyond Apartments!”

Lin Yu was stopped but didn’t rush.

He simply asked calmly, “How much is the membership fee?”

Upon hearing Lin Yu’s question, the paper ghost servant continued, “This store does not allow payment for membership… Your room card balance must reach a certain amount to automatically qualify you as a member!”

Lin Yu nodded at this, took out his Room 1202 card, “Then take a look, is this enough?”

The two paper ghost servants exchanged glances, seemingly a bit helpless.

Clearly, they had seen too many newcomers trying to check if they qualified!

But this prestigious “selection store” was not something one could enter with a few thousand or even hundreds in savings!

“Hello, sir, your balance is insufficient…” The servant on the left lowered his head as he said this, and then his voice fell silent!

“Ten… ten…”

This clearly trained servant’s voice began to tremble, and his companion looked at him in confusion before also lowering his head.

Then they understood why the other was shocked!

“Your balance is 100,000… You… you are now a member of our store! Please come in quickly!!”
