Chapter 570: 570
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu was confident that Veda had done something to the Pocket Dimension .
The remaining snacks had died down after the first canned potato chip finished speaking . The mustached male figure, the ever-smiling spokesperson, the leopard that was eating corn puff… Numerous faces sat neatly on the shelves, staring at her quietly in the dim light .
“What the hell does it mean by picking the correct packet of chips?”
In merely a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu had lost sight of the canned potato chip . She paranoidly scanned the shelves over and over again from top to bottom .
“Tell me! What am I supposed to do?” Her voice dropped to a low growl .
The shelves remained silent; there was no response from the snacks .
Apparently, the Veda had deleted the ‘rules explanation’, but the Pocket Dimension was still running on the same rules . It seemed like she was taking an exam in which she wasn’t given the question, and she had to write out the correct answer .
After a short moment of contemplation, Lin Sanjiu lifted her shopping basket and touched a bag of corn puffs using its corner .
She chose the corn puffs and not the chips, as she wanted to see the consequence of getting the wrong answer . The corn puff wiggled slightly before deflating, but it soon returned to normal . There was a few seconds of silence, and nothing happened .
“So, as long as I don’t put it into my shopping basket, it’s okay if I pick the wrong packet of chips?”
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and squatted down . She stretched her arm and poked a bag of cereal with a rooster printed on its packaging .
The bag of cereal rustled, prompting Lin Sanjiu to retract her hand . She quickly looked around at the shelves, but the shelves soon became silent once more .
It seemed like she was right in her guess .
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief as her courage mounted . She glanced across the shelves . All of the snacks were covered in a layer of dust . Their colors had faded, and they all looked musty . Apparently, they must have been put on the shelves a long time ago .
“The correct packet of chips… Could it be the one that hasn’t expired?”
She looked at the shelves with a quizzical look on her face .
“In that case, I’ll have to figure out today’s date and then the manufacturing date printed on the bag so that I can make the comparison… but isn’t that too simple?”
Since she could only make her next moves based on guesses, Lin Sanjiu began to get paranoid again .
But she still decided to try it out nonetheless . “I should probably check out the magazine at the cashier . The magazine should be of the latest issue…” However, the moment she got up, she froze .

Then, she lowered her head slowly .
Similar to any other convenience store, it was impossible to have only one unit per product on the shelf . Typically, a shop owner would arrange a few more packets of similar products neatly together in a line and occupy a small section of the tray . The shelf that Lin Sanjiu used to do her experiment was no different as well . One by one, the black and red packaging lined up on the shelf below . There was a massive rooster printed on each bag, and all of them were showing her their smiling profiles .
However, there was this one giant rooster that faced Lin Sanjiu directly . Its enlarged beak was pointed towards the top of the package . It looked as if it were trying to come out of the drawing .
And what surprised Lin Sanjiu the most was that that package was the one Lin Sanjiu poked just before .
Her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily looked at the other corn puff, the one she touched using the corner of her shopping basket . However, there weren’t any changes to the cartoonized leopard . Similar to its other comrades on the shelf, the leopard puffed one side of its cheek .
“What would happen if I touched it again?”
Although the idea appeared in her mind, Lin Sanjiu did not touch the corn puff again . The hint given by the canned potato chips was apparent: pick the right chips . Thus, after much thought and consideration, Lin Sanjiu stretched her arm towards a package of potato chips that had no drawing .
She touched the package and quickly retracted her fingers . Her heart pumped fast like a fluttering bird as she stared unblinkingly at the potato chips .
Nothing happened .

Lin Sanjiu then extended her hand once more, but this time, she lingered a little bit longer . Aside from getting some more dust on her fingers, the result was the same .
Her courage grew deeper and her mind firmer after each attempt when nothing happened . Finally, at her last attempt, she gripped the packet tightly with her fingers and slowly took it off the shelf .
A deep hole immediately appeared amidst the fully filled shelf, looking like a tunnel that could go on forever . Lin Sanjiu could feel cold air blowing out . Looking at the “hole”, Lin Sanjiu did not put the packet of chips in the shopping basket . She instead flipped it over and over again, looking for the manufacturing date .
She soon found a line of words in a tiny font that was fading on top of the seal: “1986 . 10 . 21 . ”
“It has been so long?”
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, as she did not expect a packet of chips to be even older than her . She continued to study the packet of chips, but she couldn’t find the expiry date .
‘Well, I should just put it back,’ Lin Sanjiu thought inwardly . Since she couldn’t leave the lane, she could just summon Puppeteer here . Even though that guy did not seem to be a bright person, two brains were still better than one .
As she thought, she raised her eyes .
A blurry face had appeared in the hole, staring squarely at her .

Lin Sanjiu’s heart raced . With a quick motion, an arm shot out from the shelf and gripped onto her wrist . The arm was pale and skinny, but Lin Sanjiu couldn’t shake it off no matter how hard she tried . The arm then pulled her towards the shelf . The hair on her back bristled, and just when she wanted to summon the [Tornado Whip], everything went dark .
The face and the pale arm that hid behind the shelf had all disappeared like magic .
Very soon, her vision returned .
The lane, the shelves, the dim light, and the dust in the air… everything remained the same .
The only difference was that her viewing angle had changed . Right now, she was looking at the place where she had been standing a few seconds ago .
She tried to turn her head, but somehow, she felt that her body had become very stiff .
She fell silent for two seconds, and the scale dropped before her eyes .
She mustered up all her strength and looked to the left . Nevertheless, she could only see with the corner of her eyes . All kinds of snacks were sitting firmly and obediently next to her .
Not only her left and right side, but even the level below her was neatly arranged with snack packages and canned potato chips
She had turned into a packet of chips on the shelf .
