Chapter 10 Unlocking Commercial Vending Machines

"Speaking of which, I don't know if you've noticed, but soaking in the pool not only gives you a cooling buff, but also heals all kinds of burns caused by the high temperature."

“I noticed that too,” the blond-haired guy chimed in. “I have some old wounds on my body, all burns from hunting monsters. They used to itch every night when I went to sleep, but they didn’t yesterday!”

Yesterday, they were so amazed by the abundance of water resources that they didn't notice anything unusual about themselves until now, when they realized the pool's amazing effects.

Li Ziqi looked at Lin Nanxing and sincerely praised, "Boss, you are truly beautiful inside and out. This swimming pool is a safe haven bestowed upon us by heaven."

Lin Nanxing smiled calmly on the surface, but she was actually shocked inside. She was the master of this territory, and she had no restrictions as they had mentioned. This was the first time she had ever heard of such things.

Since this swimming pool works so well, could she take some of it and sell it as burn ointment?

Lin Nanxing's mind raced, but this seemed like a feasible solution. She kept the idea in mind and said with a calm expression, "You all paid for these, so they are your rights."

Lin Nanxing kept her identity very clear: she was just a small businesswoman, not a savior, so don't have any romantic feelings for her.

After Li Ziqi and the others finished looking at the shower and their initial excitement wore off, they wanted to go into the pool, but Lin Nanxing stopped them.

Lin Nanxing looked somewhat troubled: "There are 12 people currently using the swimming area. I estimate that you'll have to wait if you go in now. Why don't you rest outside for a bit?"

"I just received a new batch of jelly. It was originally priced at 20 points, but as compensation, I'll give you a 20% discount. Do you want some?"

Their eyes lit up; the owner had new food for sale again! Of course they wanted some!

Not only that, "Boss, do you still sell instant noodles here? We want some too!"

This group of people truly lived up to their reputation as intermediate to advanced players; each of them bought 20 bat jelly pieces, and not only that, each of them also purchased three boxes of instant noodles.

Before Lin Nanxing could even calculate how much money he had received, a pop-up window from the system suddenly appeared.

[Congratulations, host, for completing 104 transactions and successfully unlocking the mall's business module.]

Reward: 1 vending machine (already in backpack)

The business module is now activated. You can go to the store to purchase related buildings, such as shops, markets, and exchanges.

Please continue your efforts, host, and let's create a perfect territory together!

"Boss, what's wrong?" Li Ziqi looked at Lin Nanxing, who was holding instant noodles and unwilling to hand them to her, with a puzzled expression.

Lin Nanxing snapped out of her daze, suppressed her excitement, and quickly handed three boxes of instant noodles and 20 bat jelly pieces to Li Ziqi.

After receiving the instant noodles, the four of them couldn't wait to follow yesterday's example and tore open the packaging to make the noodles.

Lin Nanxing glanced at her account; a total of 3080 points had been credited to her account. Satisfied, she put away the panel, turned around, and looked around the hall, beginning to search for a suitable location to place the vending machine.

The aroma of instant noodles was as strong as ever; even the guests swimming in the pool could smell it.

"What's this smell? It smells so good." After eating too much nutritional puree, I'm almost losing my normal sense of smell.

Mao Qindong, who had just eaten instant noodles yesterday, suddenly remembered, "Oh dear, I almost forgot to tell you, this swimming pool not only provides showers and swimming services, but also sells food. This smells like instant noodles."

"instant noodles?!"

Upon hearing that the shop also sold food in addition to nutrient-rich mud, everyone in the pool couldn't stay still and all wanted to find the owner.

"Hey, hey, hey, put your clothes on first. The monster attack was an emergency, but if we go out without clothes on now, the boss will think we're thugs."

"That's true."

When the 12 people appeared in the hall dressed neatly, they saw four people sitting around a wall, each with a bowl of instant noodles in their hands, doing something they didn't know.

Someone looked around, puzzled, and asked, "Where did the boss go?"

The man's voice wasn't quiet, and it immediately alerted Li Ziqi and the others who were watching the commotion. They turned around and immediately saw their captain standing in the middle.

The captain was surrounded by familiar faces; they were two teams that had previously teamed up to hunt monsters together.

Mao Qindong naturally saw his team members as well. He wasn't surprised by their arrival and naturally stepped forward, saying, "You guys are a bit slow."

Mao Qindong and the others had already played one round before these four arrived.

Yellow Hair slurped up a forkful of noodles, his mouth stuffed full, and still couldn't resist making sarcastic remarks about his captain, "Isn't it because you're not here, Captain? We're leaderless."

"Forget all that nonsense. You bought these instant noodles from the boss, right? Do you have any more? Where did the boss go?" a voice asked urgently, its eyes fixed on the instant noodles in the blond-haired man's hand, as if it wanted to snatch them away and keep them for itself.

"The boss is right here." Huang Mao saw his gaze and subconsciously tightened his grip on the instant noodle box. He moved aside, revealing the person who had been blocked by the four men.

Lin Nanxing was squatting in front of a very familiar machine, intently fiddling with something, completely unaware that a group of people had gathered behind him.

"Alright, it's finally set up." Lin Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, put the remaining 39 bat jelly pieces and 50 boxes of instant noodles into the vending machine, set the price, and then stood up.

As soon as Lin Nanxing turned around, he was startled by the scene in front of him.

A dozen burly men surrounded her, looking behind her with eyes full of expectation and longing, like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing their prey.

Lin Nanxing subconsciously took a step back, almost shouting for Da Rong to defend himself.

Fortunately, there was a rational person among them. Mao Qindong once again acted as their representative, stepping forward and trying to keep his tone calm: "Boss, this machine..."

Lin Nanxing nodded and smiled, "That's right, I've added a new vending machine. From now on, if I have anything to sell, I'll put it in this vending machine, and everyone can buy it here."

She paused, then added, "I don't have much on hand yet. I've only put in some instant noodles and bat jelly, which are all very practical foods. I hope you like them."

"Can we buy it now?"

"certainly."

As soon as Lin Nanxing finished speaking, the group of burly men in front of her rushed forward, startling her so much that she took several steps back. Looking at this group of people who were crazy about food, she patted her chest with lingering fear.

[Congratulations, host! The vending machine has sold 1 serving of instant noodles, earning you 150 game coins.]

[Successfully sold 2 Bat Jellys, earning 40 game coins.]

...

Ignoring the constant pop-up notifications, Lin Nanxing returned to the service counter in a good mood, letting the customers shop at the vending machines.
