Chapter 183

Wow! RV mode!

Tang Yu'an was excited when he saw the first line, but the system prompts had not stopped yet.

[New "Teleportation Array" section added to the homepage, and a new customer authorization list was added. Details can be viewed on the homepage.]

The Staff Forum has added a new "Exchange Area" and "Trading Area". For details, please visit the "Staff Forum"

[Dream Message in a Bottle +1, Daily Catch +1, Current Daily Catch: 4]

【Super Cargo Container Capacity +3】

Looking at the upgrade rewards below, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Can the teleportation array be opened to customers?

Currently, only employees and pets can be authorized to use the teleportation array. If it can be authorized to customers, the scope of use will undoubtedly be much larger.

Of course, they still need to evaluate and decide whether to authorize customers to use it.

After all, customers are not like employees who can be fired and their memories erased.

The forum has added new communication and trading areas?

Tang Yu'an quickly opened the employee forum to check, and saw that in addition to the original monotonous message board, two new sections had been added.

He first clicked into the communication area. The rule of this area was that employees could post and reply to messages. It was not instant like the message board, but records could be kept.

In this way, the chat records will not be mixed together, and you can find the information you need according to the topics of different posts.

The communication area is only open to employees at level 15 and above. If you want to open it to employees at a lower level, you will need to spend points to unlock it.

"It takes points to open it up to low-level employees? Is this reasonable?" Tang Yu'an grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Currently, apart from me and the Lord of Lanhu Town, there shouldn't be any employees above level 15, right?"

Tang Yu'an nodded. Among the employees between lv10 and lv15, there were only Shitou Xiaocao and Haijing, and the others were below lv10.

“If it’s not open to lower-level employees, it might take a very long time for this communication area to develop.”

Employees can only gain 1 experience point for each profitable transaction, and the upgrade speed becomes slower as time goes by.

Unless you live in a densely populated area and have a certain status like Lan Yunqing, you can quickly upgrade your level.

Otherwise, it will definitely take time to accumulate.

Tang Yu'an also understood this logic. He was thinking that since there was already a message board, was there any need to open this communication area?

"Let's open it." Zhou Qi said, "Some posts can be preserved so they won't be wiped out by new messages."

The message board does not display the time, nor does it have filtering or search functions, making it very inconvenient to view historical information.

Especially now that there are so many people, and everyone knows each other, the daily banter and idle chat is a disaster for those who want to get useful information.

"Okay, then I'll lower the level."

Tang Yu'an opened the interface and operated. It cost 2,000 points to lower each level. He directly lowered the requirement from lv15 to lv5, spending a total of 20,000 points.

He did not lower the remaining levels any further. He and Zhou Qi both believed that the forum function should retain a certain threshold like the message board.

Moreover, this function only allows posting and replying to posts. Newcomers below lv5 can still view posts.

After carefully studying the rules of the communication area, Tang Yu'an also discovered that in addition to free posts, employees can also post paid posts, requiring browsing employees to pay points to view them.

Half of the points paid go to the poster, and the other half is deducted by the system as handling fees.

Tang Yu'an grumbled again in dissatisfaction.

"Isn't it me who issues the employee points? The system's handling fees are way too high!"

Because Tang Yu'an hadn't officially opened it to employees yet, Zhou Qi couldn't see the specific details. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What are the conditions for setting up this fee post? Can employees set it up on their own?"

"Yes." Tang Yu'an nodded. "However, if more than 80% of people who have paid think that the information provided by this post is not worth paying for, half of the points will be refunded."

The worst part is that half of the handling fee collected by the system will not be refunded.

"So are we going to offer this paid service?" Tang Yu'an asked.

Zhou Qi thought for a moment and nodded.

"One of the purposes of opening this communication area is to encourage employees to exchange useful information, and offering paid posts is an effective means of encouragement."

Especially in this end times, the concept that knowledge is wealth has been deeply rooted in people's minds. Paying for knowledge can make more employees willing to share truly useful experiences and information.

Of course, for the better development of employees, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi will definitely publish some free sharing posts to help employees grow faster.

This way employees can earn more points for them!

After setting up the communication area, Tang Yu'an opened the trading area. The rules of this section are similar to those of the plane store.

Employees can post showcases in the trading area to sell points and items.

Yes, points can also be sold.

The buyer can submit the goods to the window. If the window owner is satisfied with the goods after inspecting them, the system will automatically award points to the buyer.

To purchase items in the window display, you can only use points.

Like the Plane Store, all trading systems will charge a 10% handling fee.

Zhou Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"This function is a bit like a message in a bottle in Dreamland, allowing employees with limited transportation to get goods from other places."

Of course, transactions between employees are definitely not as big as An An's operating space, but this trading area also has great potential, especially in this world where transportation is extremely underdeveloped.

Zhou Qi couldn't help but ask, "What are the restrictions of this trading area?"

"Only employees with a level of Lv20 or above can use it, and lower levels also need to be unlocked." Tang Yu'an couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this rule.

Because his level is only Lv18, he should be able to level up tomorrow, but it will only be 19.

In other words, even he couldn't use the trading area, let alone the employees!

Of course, Tang Yu'an also knew the importance of this trading area.

If this section becomes active and helps employees develop, they can use more drift bottles to pick up new bottles——

After all, every dream wisher basically has a close friend who has been recruited as an employee.

So, he started unlocking levels again.

The trading area is much more expensive than the exchange area. One level requires 5,000 points. Tang Yu'an spent 75,000 points to directly lower the level requirement to Lv5.

This trading area is actually more useful for lower-level employees.

Because of the low level, in addition to the short employment period, the biggest possibility is probably due to the limited geographical location and there are not many suitable customers around.

Just like they were in the deserted city before, even if they had goods and worked hard to do business every day, they could not compare to Xiaocao who had the population advantage in Jufeng Town.

If we can own this trading area, employees can put local specialties in the window for sale, and use points to buy things from other places, which will not only increase their own survival ability but also create advantages locally.

However, he also knew that people would not cherish things that were easily obtained, so he set a minimum threshold of Lv5.

To reach this level, you need to complete 210 profitable trades, which is a small test.

After selecting the anonymous mode for the trading area and checking that there were no other problems, Tang Yu'an opened the forum's communication area and trading area to all employees.

Then he temporarily closed the interface and opened the mode that interested him the most - RV mode!

On the store details page of the main store, there is a mode selection button with two modes: "Grocery Store" and "RV".

Now it is in grocery store mode. When Tang Yu'an clicks to select "RV", the system prompt pops up immediately.

[Do you want to deduct 5000 points and switch the main store "Ping An Grocery Store" to RV mode?]

With the forum unlocking as a prelude, Tang Yu'an had already prepared himself mentally. When he saw that it only required 5,000 points, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He still has more than 400,000 points now, so 5,000 is just a piece of cake!

Tang Yu'an chose to switch.

【Points deduction failed! 】

[You are switching the main store "Ping An Grocery Store" to RV mode. Please ensure that there are no living organisms inside the grocery store, otherwise accidents may occur during the switching process.]

Seeing this, Tang Yu'an quickly pulled Zhou Qi to the door of the store.

However, after hearing his explanation, Zhou Qi said, "It would be safer for us to go to another branch."

After switching to RV mode, the awning at the store door may not be retained. If that happens, the protective barrier will shrink and they are likely to fall into the water.

Tang Yu'an thought about it and agreed, so he ran up to the attic with Zhou Qi and took the teleportation array to Store No. 1.

Then, Tang Yu'an clicked again to switch.

【Points deduction successful! 】

[The main store "Ping An Grocery Store" is switching to RV mode. It is expected to take 10 minutes. Please wait patiently.]

It wasn't instant? Bad review!

Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had no choice but to wait patiently.

At this time, sensing their presence, Black Pearl and Yuanbao also hurried over.

Tang Yu'an hugged Black Pearl and Yuanbao first. When he saw the dirty Wangcai and Silver Coin, he used purification magic to clean their hair before hugging them for a while.

He left in a hurry and didn't have time to take them with him. He was away for more than three days and he missed them very much.

Zhou Qi watched from the side.

Ever since he swallowed the Fire Spirit Bug, several pets seemed a little afraid of him. Even Black Pearl didn't like to get too close to him...except for Silver Coin, of course.

After acting coquettishly with Tang Yu'an for a while and getting enough petting, it pounced on Zhou Qi with its tail wagging.

Although it's silly, it's really cute.

Zhou Qi also touched the silver coin's head, and then the puppy enthusiastically slobbered all over his face.

Tang Yu'an couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw Zhou Qi's helpless expression.

Because it was already night, the foggy night sky could be seen from the window, but the entire building did not fall into silence.

On the contrary, there was a noisy voice coming from the 5th floor, mixed with beautiful melodies.

There was no movie to watch today, but in order to lighten the mood, Old Li still asked the computer to play some music.

Due to copyright issues, the optical computer is purchased as a bare machine and does not have any pre-installed music. However, the optical computer has powerful AI functions and can copy music from movies.

The films that Tang Yu'an and the others brought out were all classics from before the disaster. Even if Old Li and Granny Guo hadn't seen all of them, they were familiar with the music in them.

They all like these music very much and have copied them to their own light computers. They like to listen to them whenever they have time to comfort themselves.

After listening to music for a while, Tang Yu'an thought of something and opened the newly generated teleportation array block, spending points to connect the teleportation array of Store No. 1 with that of Lanhu Town.

This way you don’t have to go through the main store to get to Lanhu Town!

With only a few minutes left, they decided to go to the alternate dimension first. They left so suddenly that they didn't know what happened to the mutant eggs that were hatching in the chicken coop.

Since the store connected to the extradimensional teleportation array is Store No. 3, it won't be affected if you want to go there now.

So they and a few pets were teleported to the swimming pool, and then came to the small house in the other dimension.

They had only been in this plane for about 85 hours, but three months had passed in the other plane.

The giant forest, which was still chilly in spring and had just awakened from hibernation when I left, is now lush and green, and various animals are becoming active again.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp—”

“Chirp, chirp, chirp—”

As soon as Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi left the cabin, they saw a chicken as big as a football in the yard?

This chick is much larger than an ordinary chicken, but it is covered with tender yellow feathers and looks like an enlarged version of a little yellow chicken. It is still quite cute.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp—”

The big yellow chicken was searching hard for food in the ground. Since it was close to the giant tree forest, there was no shortage of insects.

Because of the existence of the protective barrier, the only insects that can enter the yard are basically larvae with little fighting power, so after it is born, it will not starve to death even if no one feeds it.

Yinbi and Wangcai ran towards the big yellow chicken first, scaring it so much that it chirped and ran all over the ground.

But Yuanbao and Black Pearl were not so naive. They breathed in the rich spiritual energy of the giant forest, and finally left the yard and went to play in the giant forest.

Tang Yu'an went to stop Wangcai Silver Coin from bullying the chicks, while Zhou Qi went to the chicken coop to look for the housekeeping robot.

When he came in, it took out another piece of fire stone - the eggs were hatched and the chicks ran out, but it was still diligently regulating the temperature in the chicken coop.

Apart from regulating the temperature, the only time it leaves the chicken coop is probably to go out in the sun and recharge.

"Master, welcome back."

Zhou Qi responded, first pausing the command to adjust the temperature, then calling up the monitoring of the past three months, and quickly understanding the hatching status of the chicks with the help of AI.

Ordinary eggs can hatch in just 20 days, while mutant eggs take much longer, about 70 days.

Moreover, the mutant chickens grew significantly slower than ordinary chickens. After 20 days, although they were much larger than when they first hatched, they showed no signs of molting.

Fortunately, it hatched successfully and is growing well without artificial breeding.

Moreover, the temperatures required for hatching these two types of eggs are similar, so they can be hatched together.

Tang Yu'an came in to replenish the robot's fire stones - after three months of alternating use, most of the fire stones had turned into ordinary stones.

Even if there is no residual heat, the temperature is not enough.

Tang Yu'an collected all the fire stones that were still warm. Such fire stones would not burn people and were very suitable for sale in Jufeng Town.

Then he put two mutant eggs, three normal eggs and one duck egg in it this time, and renamed the chicken shed the hatchery.

After recording the time, they went to check on the mining robot.

These three digging robots are not solar-powered, so it is unknown when they stopped, but the iron ore and limestone they dug are enough to last for a while.

So Tang Yu'an put them into his personal warehouse, and then took out the three super-capacity containers given by the upgrade store.

Because it is level 1, the capacity is still a bit small, but it is still 20 times larger than a single-grid portable space.

After transferring the iron ore and limestone into the container and making sure there were no other problems, they returned to their original plane.

They had been busy in the alternate dimension for so long, but less than 5 minutes had passed in this dimension.

After waiting for a while, the countdown finally ended!

Congratulations! The main store, Ping An Grocery Store, has successfully switched to RV mode. Visit to view it.

Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi couldn't wait to step onto the teleportation array and return to the main store.

As the familiar dizziness disappeared, the scene before my eyes was very different - the familiar attic of the grocery store was gone, replaced by a carriage.

This carriage is larger than ordinary cars, about 2*4 meters in size, and is equipped with a kitchen, dining area, shower room, toilet, and two display containers.

There is also a sleeping area at the back, divided into two levels, connected by a narrow spiral staircase.

There is a glass window at the rear of the carriage, through which you can see the dark water outside. However, due to the presence of a protective barrier, the water does not invade the carriage.

Tang Yu'an climbed down from the bed and leaned over the window in the middle of the carriage to look out.

To be honest, he was feeling more panic than excitement, because everything in the carriage was new and his familiar home was gone.

But he comforted himself that this was just a switch to RV mode. Once it switched back to grocery store mode, the home where he grew up would be back, so there was no need to worry too much.

Zhou Qi walked to the door at the front of the carriage, tentatively opened it a crack, and then saw the cockpit.

There are two seats in the cockpit, which is very spacious and not crowded at all. Zhou Qi entered first, followed closely by Tang Yu'an.

Zhou Qi sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands.

Tang Yu'an looked here and there, and finally sat in the passenger seat. He finally recovered and said excitedly: "Brother Xiaoqi, we have an RV!"

Zhou Qi nodded slightly.

"Does that mean we can open the main store somewhere else?" Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up.

Zhou Qi smiled bitterly and said, "First, we have to learn how to drive."

Tang Yu'an looked at the operating device on the driver's seat and nodded.

Oh, this is indeed a big problem.

"Secondly..." Zhou Qi continued, "We also need to solve the road problem."

He tentatively pressed a button that looked like a car light, and the light in front came on, illuminating the rocks in front of him.

Ping'an Grocery Store is located in a sunken pit. These stones used to serve as a good concealment, but now they have caused problems for their departure.

Compared to that, floods are nothing.

After all, the protective barrier will automatically isolate the water and will not affect the RV. It may only reduce the speed a little at most.

"Do we have to build a road first?" Tang Yu'an muttered.

There are no longer any complete roads in the wasteland. After earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters, the ground is either cracked or blocked by various debris.

If they want to drive smoothly, they have to at least clear away the debris.

"Let's figure it out slowly."

Even if they really build a road, it doesn't seem to be a bad idea. After all, they have points and superpowers. If they can really drive around in an RV, it is definitely worth considering.

After all, once the road is repaired, other people can use it, and as long as there is no earthquake, it is relatively easy to maintain.

"Let me learn how to drive first." Zhou Qi began to study the device on the driver's seat.

The operating system of this RV seems to be similar to that of new energy vehicles in the original world. It would be great if it had automatic driving.

He activated the middle panel and, following the instructions, finally found the autopilot button, but...

[Network not connected, unable to load map! ]

Well, without a map there is no way to navigate, and artificial intelligence becomes artificial stupidity.

Zhou Qi was thinking about how to drive, while Tang Yu'an looked back at the car and saw that the door had closed automatically.

He stood up and walked over. Just as he grasped the door handle, he saw the system prompt pop up in front of him again.

【You are opening the door, please select the entry location】

[1. Carriage]

【2. Ping An Grocery Store (Unlocked)】

Tang Yu'an blinked. This option felt too familiar to him.

Why does it look so much like a magic tent? Could it be...

Tang Yu'an quickly chose the second option, and the result...

【Do you want to deduct 200,000 points to unlock this space? 】

Tang Yu'an: ...

200,000 points, why don't you grab it :)

He exited this interface and turned on the switching mode in the store again, and found that it only cost 5,000 points to switch back.

Tang Yuan sat back in the passenger seat and angrily shared the new news with Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, then said, "Buy it."

To be honest, if it were like a magic tent, where you could choose to go back to the original shop or enter the car when you open the door, and it only costs 200,000 points to unlock it permanently, it would really not be expensive.

This way, when they leave in their RV in the future, they won’t have to switch modes every time they want to go home.

Each switch costs 5,000 points, which means 10,000 points round trip. If you do it 20 times, it will exceed 200,000.

“It’s still a good deal as a one-time payment.”

Zhou Qi patted Tang Yu'an's head and said soothingly, "We now have employees helping us earn points. Just spend what you need. Don't worry."

"Oh well."

Tang Yu'an was persuaded, so he gritted his teeth and chose to spend 200,000 points to unlock it.

Then he opened the car door again.

This time, what appeared before his eyes was no longer a carriage, but his family's old store. After walking in, he saw that everything was the same as before.

The windows and rear door can no longer be opened, and the balcony is also sealed off. However, there is an extra glass window, exactly the same as the rear window of the car, through which you can still see the scenery outside.

Tang Yu'an looked at the familiar attic with a happy smile on his face, without any trace of heartache.

It’s still more comfortable to be back home!
