Chapter 165: A little more expensive is reasonable.
Before long, Shan Nai had documented and photographed everything around the supermarket, including trees, bricks, withered grass, asphalt roads, and ants.
Yamana held up the recording device, which was shaped like an old-fashioned flip phone, and found it both novel and fun.
The SUV came to a stop slowly on the road in front of the supermarket.
Four cars in a row, carrying nearly 30 tall and strong foreigners.
The curly-haired foreign man leading the group saw Yamana squatting at the door and his eyes lit up. He chattered on and on to his companions, and the group strode over to Yamana.
"What?!"
The curly-haired foreigner, who could understand Chinese, greeted us excitedly.
Shannai had just gotten up to go back to the supermarket when she looked up at the group of foreigners. Her smile froze, and her little tail almost stood up straight.
"Uh... okay, hello."
She quickly called out to the system in her mind, "System, come quick, there are foreigners!"
[I'm here, host. Don't worry, the system can translate any foreign language for you online.]
Shanna rolled her green eyes; that wasn't what she meant. "No, I meant if foreigners are buying supplies, can we sell them to them?"
[Well, that depends on the host's mood. Things are even worse overseas than here right now.]
"Oh, Davis, is she the cat owner from the radio? It's unbelievable that she still has a supermarket in this apocalypse! It's amazing! We're finally saved!" The blonde, blue-eyed woman was almost in tears.
The next second, Shanna's eyebrows twitched.
The system's translation is just unbelievable.
Even though the foreigners were speaking a gibberish language, it sounded to Yama Nai as if the system was translating it for her online, complete with a strange, jarring dubbing accent.
It's really addictive.
They were foreigners who came to China to work, study, or travel before the end of the world.
After the apocalypse, they slowly gathered together. Returning to their own countries was almost impossible, so sticking together for warmth in a foreign land was a good option.
It was after receiving a radio broadcast from Yamana that I came to City A.
The foreigners stared at Shannai with wide, puzzled expressions, while those behind them whispered amongst themselves.
Perhaps thinking that Yamaha couldn't understand their mother tongue, a spiky brown-haired man even made lewd remarks to harass Yamaha.
"Zi!!"
Hearing the harsh words, Shan Nai got angry and, without thinking, raised her hand and sent him flying with a jolt of electricity, slamming him onto the main road.
The foreigners' expressions changed instantly upon seeing this, and some of Davis's companions behind him screamed loudly.
"Watch your mouths." Shan Nai glanced coldly at the group of foreigners.
Davis quickly apologized and begged for forgiveness, saying that his partner just liked to joke around and had no malicious intent.
They just wanted to buy some supplies honestly and had no intention of going against Lucky Supermarket.
Yamaha didn't want to talk to them much, so she went back to the supermarket, and the foreigners hurriedly followed her in.
Davis's attitude was quite good, and he sincerely expressed his intentions, but regarding the issue of foreigners buying supplies, Yamana had an idea.
"System, can you charge foreigners a higher price for supplies?" she asked in her mind.
[The host is the supermarket's top manager and can make minor adjustments to prices.]
The system doesn't care. Given the host's capabilities, the supermarket will eventually reach the highest level. Who to sell to and how to sell it are all up to the host.
After listening to the system's words, Shan Nai looked at Davis and gave a faint smile.
"I can sell you supplies, but the price will be tripled." Shan Nai stood behind the cashier and pointed to the exchange rate between crystal cores and points.
Davis had been teaching in China for six or seven years and could understand simple Chinese.
He and his companions translated the meaning of "山奈".
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone got angry.
They felt that Shan Nai was targeting them.
The man ran to the shelf, pointed to a bottle of water, and started gesturing wildly and chattering away.
Why does water that costs 6 points become 18, and beef jerky that costs 20 points becomes 60... and so on.
“Lucy, calm down! Even if you buy it with 3x points, it's still more cost-effective than using crystal cores at other bases! That's the most important thing,” Davis explained to the man in a low voice.
Davis can accept it.
Didn't you see how badly Peter was electrocuted?! You still want to go head-to-head with Boss Cat?
Go crazy.
"shit...@!＊:)" "&～%/!!"
Peter, the brown-haired man who had just been electrocuted, rushed in, his face twitching, and strode to the cashier, still fuming and glaring.
"It's hopeless, block him, block him." Shan Nai shook her head with a look of disgust.
The system also found this person unreasonable, so it immediately blocked him and threw him out again.
"You have one minute left," Shannai said, glancing at the time.
"Okay, please process our membership. Thank you very much." Davis hurriedly took out the crystal core and handed it to Shannai.
He didn't care anymore, let them do whatever they wanted.
Anyway, I need to become a member and buy supplies!
Most of Davis's companions followed his instructions and lined up to become members.
They didn't want to be electrocuted like Peter; it was too horrible.
At the back of the line were a few short Asian men, looking around timidly and whispering about the supermarket. When they saw the full shelves, their faces lit up with greed. They exchanged glances, thinking they would sneakily steal something later.
Just then, customers from other bases passed by and overheard them, which immediately enraged them.
He used to work as a translator and can understand multiple languages.
"Boss Cat, these are some Japanese! They're trying to steal from the supermarket, please don't sell them any supplies!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several more customers gathered around, staring at the short men with disdain, and resolutely refusing to sell them the goods.
"Yes, yes, more than ten years ago, their country was illegally discharging nuclear wastewater. They were worse than demons! Ha!"
"Trash, what goes around comes around. The first year there were constant earthquakes around the world, and their wretched island was already shattered to pieces, with countless deaths and injuries. It's perfect retribution! They still have the nerve to live a life of shame in our country. It's disgusting."
The three men couldn't understand what everyone was saying. They huddled together, trembling. They hadn't even made a move yet, and they were already being verbally abused.
Moreover, the crowd was very agitated towards them, and there was a feeling that they wanted to rush up and kill them.
After listening to the customers' comments, Shan Nai couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
How can this happen?!
She would definitely refuse them entry to the supermarket.
"Trying to steal again? Haha, I'll block you."
The three were instantly blocked, thrown out of the supermarket, and then given a high-level electric shock.
The customers present relaxed slightly upon seeing this scene. Some even stared at the three people thrown out of the supermarket with gloomy eyes, sneering thoughtfully...
"Boss, why can't they get in? They have crystal cores too." The blonde, blue-eyed woman looked bewildered.
Shan Nai stood straight and said righteously, "This is my supermarket. Can't I prioritize supplies for Chinese survivors? There are some foreigners I don't like, and I don't want to sell them supplies."
Now that the world is in a post-apocalyptic state, it's not unreasonable for her, as a member of the Chinese Spirit Cat Clan, to prioritize helping local survivors.
Such earnest words startled Davis, who was in charge, and he could roughly understand what Shannai meant.
He made a decision in his heart: he would cut off all contact with those three people from now on. They actually tried to steal something?!
They're really courting death. We can't afford to anger the cat owner because of them, especially since the supermarket's supplies are really amazing.
He also plans to find a place to stay in City A and is in great need of supermarket supplies.
This was just a minor incident that lasted a few minutes.
Davis and his group eventually settled into memberships and went shopping together.
And Yamana didn't forget to set their membership card checkout rate at 3x.
They're not compatriots. They're fighting zombies on Chinese soil to earn points, so it's reasonable for them to pay a little more.
