My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Chapter 162 The Spinning Wheel Flipped 6 Times

Before heading back to the supermarket, Yamana didn't forget to scatter some advertising cards along the way.

"Our supermarket is so much more comfortable!"

Yamaha lay on the large sofa inside the cashier's counter, squinting as she rubbed against a large milk tea-shaped cushion, her soft tail swaying casually.

It was lunchtime, and many customers were already queuing up to buy food in the dining area.

The crisp sound of cutlery clinking together mingled with the lively chatter of customers, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

bb-07 specially brought a cup of honey loquat and pear syrup to Shannai.

"Boss, drink it while it's hot!"

Shanna pouted and gave it two kisses. "Thank you, Little 7. My throat was so dry."

The system lay on the counter, watching with a kind, fatherly expression as Shan Nai finished her hot soup and swung her little round legs.

[Host, wanna participate in the lottery?]

Shannai put down her cup, her little face flushed, and exclaimed, "Draw!"

The system brought up a colorful spinning wheel. Shan Nai rubbed her hands together, blew on it, and started spinning the wheel.

"The grand prize! The grand prize! The grand prize!"

Go! Go! Go!

Both Shannai and the system clenched their fists, staring expectantly at the constantly spinning wheel, cheering it on and giving it a buff.

"..."

Three minutes passed.

five minutes……

Yamana stared at the still-spinning turntable, her hands on her hips, her lips twitching slightly. "Wait... what's going on? Is it stuck?"

Ah, the system hasn't encountered this situation before either...

The system was also dumbfounded; the spinning wheel was spinning so fast it wouldn't stop.

Speechless, Shan Nai could only go back to her room to change into some light and comfortable clothes. It was too warm in the supermarket; she could wear short sleeves and shorts.

After she changed her clothes, went to the dining area to get a large apple, and returned to the cashier, the system was still waiting in front of the blue screen.

"Still spinning?" Shanna raised an eyebrow.

The system nodded.

Yamana stepped forward and pressed the manual stop button on the turntable, but it still didn't work.

"666, this must be stuck. Contact your superiors and report the situation." Shan Nai took a bite of the fragrant and crisp apple.

[We've already reported this; it's said to be due to StarNet fluctuations... If it won't stop, the turntable can only be turned off.]

Yamana tilted her head. "Close it? What about my chance to spin the wheel this time? Isn't it only possible to open the wheel by leveling up?"

The system was speechless and slumped to the side with a sigh.

[They said it would be compensation for a random reward, all of which would be at least a second-prize winner.]

These upgrade wheels cannot be opened at will, nor can they be given another chance to spin. They can only be opened when the host upgrades.

"Fine, turn it off then, it's making me dizzy... Where's the random reward?"

[Inside the bag.]

Shannai put down the big apple in her hand, opened the boss's backpack, and sure enough, there was a colorful gift box icon in the small compartment. She immediately opened the gift box.

"Lucky Selling Station..."

Wow, as expected of the host's hands! This random reward is no worse than winning the first prize!

Lucky Sale Station, from the outside it looks like a bus stop. The station is small, and under the canopy it can only accommodate three people standing at the same time.

There's a smart electronic screen and two rows of small shelves/machines that allow for simple shopping, and there's a delivery outlet.

However, the selection inside is very limited, with only water and rice balls available, and the prices are twice as high as those in a supermarket.

Its real purpose is to allow users to register for memberships on this machine and make reservations to ride in a mini flying bus that can carry 10 people.

A reservation requires a payment of 50 points.

A group of 3 people is all you need to form a group. Members will receive advance notice of departure and will be taken to Lucky Supermarket within 30 minutes!

The small stations can be placed anywhere in the city. Up to 10 stations can be placed in each large area, and 5 stations in each small area.

After listening to the system's explanation, Shan Nai finished eating the apple.

"So this is very much like... a post-apocalyptic survival guide for scattered survivors," Shan Nai offered her interpretation.

Small groups at the base camp can access buses and vending machines, but it's really hard to find individual travelers.

This little station is really nice; you can cast your net in many places and you're bound to get something.

Shannai thought the random reward was alright. "Also, this is more suitable for cities more than 2000 kilometers away."

The system thought the same way; it could expand the scope as much as possible.

"Even a mosquito's leg is meat, and the main thing is not to lose a single customer." After roughly understanding the purpose of the small station, Shan Nai closed the backpack interface.

Shannai opened the map again, marked the location of Lucky Supermarket, and carefully made plans.

Now, with City A as the center, we have successfully expanded outwards to a certain area. If we want to expand further, it would be best to simultaneously develop both vending machines and flying buses.

Fortunately, she could teleport freely to any new location she had checked in at; otherwise, with such a vast country as China, she would have been running herself ragged.

But Shannai wasn't some docile, dull cat; she came up with a great idea for quickly checking off new cities.

such as……

First, teleport to the border between a previously explored city and a new city. Then, enter the new city to check in. After that, you can teleport freely within the new city.

So, over the next month, whenever she was bored, Shan Nai used this little trick to successfully check off all the places on the map of China!

The wireless broadcasts also had some effect, as survivors who received the Lucky Supermarket message couldn't resist risking their lives to come and find out.

The result was that once they arrived, they didn't want to leave, and City A was cleaned up more and more thoroughly; there were no more zombies or monsters within the Third Ring Road.

The number of bases, large and small, centered around Lucky Supermarket continues to increase, and over time, City A is gradually beginning to show signs of life.

……

Yamana is deploying "Lucky Selling Stations" according to the map she studied.

She tries to select locations within each city where the buildings are relatively intact and the damage is not significant for deployment.

The chances of finding survivors are higher in such places.

Of course, there are also some safe subway entrances and underground shopping malls that you shouldn't miss.

These locations were places where Shannai had previously deployed vending machines and buses in other cities; they were all small experiences she had summarized.

"Alright, that's all for today's work. Time to head home!" Shan Nai patted the small, exquisite minibus station platform and smiled playfully.

【Yes, thank you for your hard work, host.】

The system waved its round little fists and rested them on Shannai's shoulder, giving her a shoulder massage.

Although the force was so small that Yamana couldn't feel it, the main point was to highlight the system's good intentions.

Yamana lowered her eyes to look at the system that was working hard, suppressing the urge to laugh.

"It was definitely the right decision to check in on the new map beforehand! We should just place the small stations in the outermost provinces and cities!"

[The host is right! Furthermore, the host has already posted a friendly reminder on the small platform; anyone from the base who comes across it will definitely see it.]

Shanna nodded in agreement, giving herself a big thumbs-up.

The small sales stations are designed to drop off scattered survivors, but it's possible that people with bases might also discover them.

Therefore, Yamana had the system print out a friendly reminder about the application requirements for the two types of buses and vending machines, for those in need.

After placing the small sales booths in City S, Shannai returned to the supermarket on the same spot.

Not far away, Tian Xiaoman rubbed her eyes, staring incredulously at the spot where Shan Nai had disappeared, stunned with surprise.

"Gone...gone..." she covered her mouth and muttered to herself.
