Chapter 19 A Prelude to Death
Once the customer heard that there was plenty to go around, their emotions immediately calmed down.
Shan Nai went to the warehouse and pulled out the supplies. There was no need to put them on the shelves; everyone just squatted there and started taking them casually.
Who cares, they're all good stuff, I'll grab whatever I can.
The dining area was the hardest hit.
Today's serving is steamed pork ribs with rice, 17 points, and garlic broccoli, 6 points.
There were only a few tables to begin with, and even if everyone squeezed in, they couldn't seat many more people. So everyone had to swipe their cards and sit on the floor to eat with their trays.
Perhaps it was because everyone hadn't had a hot meal in a long time, the ribs were steamed thoroughly, and there wasn't even a bone left on the plate. Throughout the meal, not a single person said a word.
Because everyone's focused on their work!
They stuffed food into their mouths one by one, like hamsters hoarding food.
One uncle choked so badly that his eyes rolled back, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. Yamana, who was standing next to him, was horrified by the way the customers were eating.
Finally, the plates were stacked incredibly high.
Half of the people were asked to leave the supermarket when their shopping time was up, while the other half left with their purchases, full of gratitude, after eating and drinking to their hearts' content.
As the supermarket customers gradually left, Shan Nai noticed a sleazy-looking man in a floral vest and shorts squatting on the side of the shelf, peeking at her.
His lewd gaze was completely uninhibited, and he kept grinning foolishly at Yamana as he looked at her.
Shannai gave him a murderous glare, then turned her attention to the POS system backend.
“Zhu Chang?...900 points…” Shan Nai scrolled through the lewd man’s membership information, pursed her lips, and thought the name was a bit awkward.
However, considering that he had recharged a lot of points and had not done anything wrong, Shan Nai decided not to lower herself to his level.
Zhu Chang was overjoyed.
He happened to be passing through this city when he saw a crowd of people at the intersection, and out of curiosity, he came over to take a look.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.
There's a convenience store here!
Who is Zhu Chang?
Professional resellers.
With a try-it-out mentality, he exchanged the white crystal core he had just acquired for 300 points!
Zhu Chang began a shopping spree.
6 points for a bottle of water?
He can sell 5 gray crystal cores in a matter of minutes!
So he exchanged all the gray crystal cores he had for a total of 900 points, which made him extremely happy.
With supplies secured, we can also make a fortune. We can rely on this to get rich, no problem.
He didn't believe the shopping instructions the pretty saleswoman at the supermarket mentioned.
Supermarket goods cannot be resold?
What? He's going to move to another city's base to sell his products, and this pretty girl is going to follow him?
However, this pretty girl is really good-looking. Although she's not a big-breasted, curvy beauty, she's different in style.
With fewer people in the supermarket now, Zhu Chang couldn't resist sneaking a peek for a while. He did have lustful thoughts, but not the guts to do so.
Having witnessed countless storms and waves in the post-apocalyptic world for over three years, what good are beautiful women compared to supplies?
Moreover, his mind was entirely focused on reselling supplies.
His future looked bright, and he had already begun to dream about it.
Zhu Chang placed the full load of goods one by one on the cashier counter, waiting for the final checkout.
The membership card has a notification function. After redeeming points, customers will start shopping. Once the purchase amount exceeds the points on the card, the card will issue a notification.
Therefore, customers will not over-purchase.
"Beautiful boss, your cash register is pretty advanced. It takes only one scan and it's all done? You're not making a mistake, are you?" Zhu Chang leaned against the cash register, grinning as he stared at Shan Nai.
Seeing that Shan Nai ignored him, he continued, "Little beauty, do you need any employees since you run a supermarket all by yourself? How about you, brother? Hehe, look how pretty you are, it's too dangerous..."
Shan Nai rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "You talk too much nonsense."
"Oh my, this little beauty is quite aloof, I like it!" Zhu Chang's eyebrows shot up as he spoke, and his expression instantly became extremely lewd.
Don't you know you smell rotten?
He kept talking nonstop.
Yamana almost couldn't resist kicking him to death.
"If you dare utter another word, I'll smash your head in with this stick." Shan Nai pulled out a meteorite baseball bat from under the cashier's counter and slammed it into his face.
Upon seeing Shan Nai's serious expression, Zhu Chang covered his mouth with both hands.
do not judge a book by it's cover.
Although Zhu Chang only has the ability to store space, his judgment of people is always accurate. The pretty boss must be an ability user, so he can't keep talking nonsense.
When he finished paying the bill, he was stunned to see the steamed pork ribs and white rice laid out in the dining area.
"Damn it, I should have saved some points!" Zhu Chang was incredibly greedy, but there was nothing he could do; he hadn't saved a single point.
Right now, all I'm thinking about is finishing off this batch of supplies so I can eat my fill!
Zhu Chang walked out of the supermarket with his arms tucked under his arm, quickly found the pickup truck he had hidden when he arrived, and sped away.
If there's any commotion in this place, it will attract zombies.
He had just driven out of the city and shaken off the zombies chasing him when he saw several living people on the deserted highway.
Fish have arrived!
"Hey buddy, need any supplies? Top-notch stuff!" Zhu Chang drove up beside them, his face a mixture of mystery and smugness.
Several lean men stared at him with ill intent.
"Don't be silly, guys," Zhu Chang said, pulling out a pistol and flashing it with a crooked smile.
He deals with living people, so how could he not have a backup plan?
Sure enough, as soon as the pistol was revealed, the men's eyes darkened considerably, and the leader said, "Tell me."
“Right, who knows, we might be long-term partners in the future. Mineral water, 30 gray crystal cores, chocolate biscuits 25…” Zhu Chang only listed a few basic and commonly used items.
……
At Lucky Supermarket.
"Goodbye, little boss!"
"Goodbye." Shanna smiled as she saw off the last customer, rubbing her neck.
【Thank you for your hard work, host! Mwah~】
"Hmm... the promotion today was quite effective. I also asked them to go back and continue promoting it. There shouldn't be any problems later." Yamana looked at the empty shelves, feeling quite satisfied.
She's still waiting for the supermarket to upgrade its automated stocking robots!
[Yes, my host is awesome! A total of 9500 points have been earned today!]
"Nice!" Yamana exclaimed with a small, excited laugh.
Although it's still far from the points required for the upgrade, it's already a significant improvement.
"10 small flashlights sold, 9/10"
"100 registered members have been reached (49/100)"
The dining area can accommodate 50 customers (48/50).
"The mission is progressing! This is great, system!"
[However, today is a special day, so there's no need to rush, host. There's no time limit for leveling up, so take your time.]
The system felt sorry for its busy host.
Actually, a few customers a day would be fine, but if the host is happy, it's happy too.
"I know, I'm starving, let's eat."
Shannai didn't have time to go and stock up on goods. To save time in the morning, she just ate a piece of pineapple bun, and now she's starving.
"Hot and sour rice noodles... snail rice noodles... mala tang... Oh my god, why do I have to choose! Tongzi, which one do you like? Waaaaah..."
Shannai stared at the three food pictures on the screen, her mouth watering.
【Uh…】This is difficult for it, it needs energy.
"Spicy hot pot, please!!! Tongzi, promise me you'll separate them next time!" Shannai said angrily, pulling on her cat ears.
She wanted to eat everything, but her appetite was limited, and the portions of food offered by the supermarket were enormous.
Even the small portion isn't small!
Shan Nai only chose mala tang (a spicy hot pot dish) because she also wanted to eat steamed pork ribs from the dining area; both of these were enough to fill her stomach.
The soup base is rich, spicy, and numbing. It includes shiitake mushrooms, potatoes, broccoli, meatballs, corn, enoki mushrooms, dried bean curd, bacon, quail eggs, green vegetables, lotus root slices, and instant noodles.
Looking at the large bowl full of food, topped with a spoonful of sesame paste, chopped green onions, and minced garlic, Shan Nai's appetite instantly increased!
"Ah wu——"
"Hmm... System, it's such a shame you can't have this, it's so delicious!"
Shannai took a bite of the fish ball coated in broth and sesame sauce, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"boom!"
Just as she was enjoying her meal, the door was suddenly pushed open.
