As a passionate surv...

Chapter 8 Inflation 7

On the 11th night, a looting frenzy broke out in the entire town! Supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, convenience stores, bakeries... almost all the shops that were still open for business were looted.

All night long, Su Han hid in the rough-finished apartment (without doors or windows, so people could come and go at will) and heard ghosts howling outside. There were all kinds of noises, including looting, smashing, and burning.

All Su Han could do was change his position and continue sleeping.

On the morning of the 12th day, Su Han looked out of the window and realized how tragic the night had been - the few shops that were still open had become ruins, and the owners were nowhere to be found; there were several people lying on the street, most of them were seriously injured, a few were on the verge of death, and those with stamina points of 0 had probably been refreshed; important supply points like department stores, where no accidents could happen, had forty or fifty more guards guarding the door overnight.

"It's clear that there is more than one group of people committing crimes." Su Han muttered to himself, "The number of people who can't hold on is increasing."

Under the purchase restrictions, it is still possible to buy something if you are willing to spend time queuing. She was willing to go to the department store to join the rush to buy, but unfortunately she was short of money and had no money on her, so she had to give up.

Su Han took out a piece of butter and pork floss bread and started to eat it, while counting the inventory.

The portable warehouse contains 100 bars of soap, 14 bars of soap (separately occupying two compartments), 100 bottles of mineral water, 9 pieces of meat floss cream bread, 60 packs of instant noodles, 10 medical bandages, 5 boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, 69 bags of steel balls, 2 slingshots, and a fishing rod.

There was an opened bag of steel balls, 5 candles, 5 lighters, 1 magnesium stick and 1 flint in the backpack.

These are all her belongings.

Su Han thought to himself, "Should I stock up on some ready-to-eat products?"

Instant noodles, although they can be eaten dry, only half of the satiety they provide after being boiled, so eating them dry is not cost-effective. Now, she only has nine pieces of pork floss and butter bread left.

"When I first entered the game, I thought meat floss and butter bread were too expensive, and I didn't have enough money to stock up. Milk and brown bread are in small quantities and take up space, so I prioritized them." Su Han calculated carefully, "Where can I get meat floss and butter bread now?"

The talent skill has a 5% chance of obtaining the luxurious meal of "three bottles of milk + a piece of pork floss and cream bread + a piece of chocolate cake". The probability is so low that it can be basically ignored.

Su Han held up his chin, "Should I use up my meat floss and butter bread and stock up on brown bread instead?"

Because the source of black bread is relatively stable, it is more conducive to stockpiling. As for meat floss butter bread... she deeply felt that this thing would not be found in the later stages of the dungeon.

While cleaning up the inventory, I reflected and summarized. Soon, it was 9 o'clock in the morning.

The system mechanically announced, "On the 12th day, the price level increased by 100%."

"Power shortage. Effective immediately, power supply will be limited. Residential buildings will be cut off for two hours a day, and there will be a complete power outage after 8pm."

"Due to poor maintenance of the water pipes, the number of bacteria in the tap water has seriously exceeded the standard. From now on, the tap water cannot be drunk. (If you force yourself to drink it, you will easily be infected with negative conditions)"

Su Han's heart suddenly sank. The limited supply of electricity was not a big deal, she only moved during the day, and there were candles in her backpack for lighting. It was too cruel that the tap water was not drinkable! How could people not drink water? From then on, the crowd must have become even more panicked.

The only good news was that she found 4 bottles of milk, 1 loaf of brown bread, 1 loaf of meat floss cream bread, and 1 piece of chocolate cake in her backpack. Apparently, the talent probability was triggered at the same time, and she got both packages together.

Chocolate Cake: Satiety +40 after use.

Su Han has never been so grateful that his profession is "nutritionist".

Although he could just find a secluded place to stay, after thinking about it, Su Han decided to go out for a walk to see if he could get something. After all, one can never have too much supplies.

As a result, as soon as she walked out of the apartment building, she saw someone setting up a stall next to the department store, surrounded by a group of people.

Su Han walked closer curiously.

There were a number of matchboxes, long-stick candles, and bottles of mineral water on the stall, and there was an oversized backpack next to it, which was obviously used to carry goods.

There was a sign on the left side of the stall that read, "If it gets robbed, I will never set up this stall again." I didn't know if it was a warning or a threat.

There is also a sign on the right side that says, "Barter, mainly accepting jewelry and medicine. If you have other practical items, please ask the stall owner if he will buy them."

"Come on, line up. Ask one by one, don't rush." ​​The stall owner was a young man in his twenties. He was very tall, about 1.85 meters. He had a well-proportioned body and great explosive power, and he looked like he had trained professionally.

Su Han felt that this stall owner was a talented person - setting up a stall next to a department store with forty or fifty guards watching him, a normal person would never have the courage to rob him.

The cruelest thing was the words written on the sign, "Once it is robbed, I will not set up a stall again."

As time goes by, people gradually realize that what is more frightening than the decline in the purchasing power of money is that they cannot buy what they want even if they have money.

There is a stable supply point here, although it is not easy, but at least there is hope of getting something. But if the stall is closed, I really don’t know where to buy candles and drinking water.

So the crowd was quite cooperative and soon formed a long line.

Su Han had no shortage of drinking water and candles, so he watched silently.

The first customer spread out his hands, and the gold rings, gold necklaces, and gold earrings in his palms almost blinded his eyes.

"What do you want to change?" The young stall owner was very calm.

"I want candles and mineral water." The customer said nervously.

"One piece of gold jewelry can be exchanged for two candles or a bottle of mineral water." The young man calmly quoted the price.

The customer exclaimed, "It's so dark!"

"If you think it's black, you don't have to change it. I'm not forcing you to buy it." The young man said indifferently, "But remember to seize the opportunity. I don't have too much of these things in stock."

In other words, even if you are willing to do so in the future, you may not be able to get it.

The customer gritted her teeth and said, "Give me two candles and a bottle of mineral water." Then she took the gold ring back - after all, she was reluctant to replace them all.

The first transaction was completed successfully.

Su Han was watching from the side, and found that after looking at the gold ring, she actually saw the words "gold ring, 999 gold, 4.8g". She muttered to herself, this is quite convenient, and she doesn't have to worry about being cheated.

The second customer held a small golden Buddha statue and said confidently, "My treasure weighs 50 grams! It can't be considered a piece of gold jewelry, right?"

"I'll give you ten pieces. What do you want in exchange?" the young man asked.

The second customer wanted to bargain, but the young man said indifferently, "This thing is inconvenient to carry and difficult to cut. This is the price."

Customers had no choice but to shut up and shop quietly.

The third customer took out a jade bracelet, which was emerald green and transparent, and looked very good.

Su Han couldn't help but think, why not exchange it for some gold? Although it won't be useful in this instance, it might be useful in other instances!

But after careful consideration, she gave up the idea - it would be inconvenient to carry the gold after exchanging it. Moreover, she only exchanged a small amount of currency before entering the game, and the stockpiled materials were not sufficient to exchange them at will.

Shaking his head, Su Han left with regret.

The young stall owner tilted his head and watched Su Han go away, with a thoughtful look on his face.

**

With nothing to do, Su Han simply went to the market.

The so-called market actually has no fixed location. As more people set up stalls and shop, it naturally gathers popularity, and then more people will be willing to come and take a look.

This is how the market on the overpass came to be.

Su Han walked forward, looking around. Perhaps because of the looting last night, the market had a wide variety of items for exchange, including canned food, shampoo, medical bandages, and everything else.

A man passed by her and muttered quietly, "Player?"

If you are not careful, you will be ignored.

Su Han's heart moved, and he looked in the direction of the voice. Standing behind her was a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The other party lowered his voice and said, "I have news. Do you have daily necessities?"

"Let's talk in a secluded place. Follow me." Su Han led the way.

The young girl pursed her lips and followed.

When they reached the corner and confirmed that there were only two of them, Su Han asked, "How do I know if your information is valuable? I don't want to spend money to buy information I already know."

The young girl said, "I'll tell you the first half of the story, and you can choose whether to listen to the second half."

Su Han raised an eyebrow, "For example?"

“All daily necessities can be improved in cleanliness, but…” The young girl hesitated and motioned for the customer to pay and listen to the second half of the sentence.

However, Su Han said, "I know this."

“All foods are OK…”

Su Han interrupted ruthlessly, "I know, next one."

The young girl stared at Su Han for a long time, but what she said was, "Do you have any daily necessities?"

"Soap, more than ten yuan." Su Han reported the inventory.

The young girl thought about it for a long time and finally made up her mind, "Portable warehouse organization technique, which is my own experience. But the price is a bit expensive, 10 bars of soap."

Su Han showed a half-smile, "For example?" If this guy dared to tell her to stock up on the same items, she would be furious.

The young girl had to let out a hint to show her sincerity. "When stocking up on food, try to stock up on ready-to-eat foods that are high in satiety. This way you can not only last longer in the dungeon, but it is also convenient to eat. If you stock up on other foods, it will be difficult to cook once there is a cutoff of water, electricity, or gas."

"That's right. But I've thought of all the things you mentioned." Su Han threw out a bar of soap as a reward for his hard work, and then wanted to turn around and leave.

"Five bars of soap! I'll tell you everything I know!" the young girl shouted hurriedly, "It's impossible that you know everything I'm thinking of?"

She couldn't help but be anxious, because her cleanliness level had dropped to nearly the red line of 25%. In addition, because she couldn't get soap and shower gel for a long time, her physical strength value slowly but surely dropped, and it was about to break 50!

Furthermore, there were not many players with portable warehouses, and even fewer who could be found, and almost no one could offer the price. Therefore, she actually had no choice.

Su Han stopped walking. Five bars of soap were not expensive, so it would be okay to listen. So she turned around, paid the balance, and said calmly, "Go ahead."

The young girl calmed herself down and spoke slowly, "The portable storage has ten compartments in total. Put 100 bottles of mineral water, or milk, or beverages, or anything else, as long as it's clean drinking water."

"Put 100 soaps in the second compartment for cleanliness. Put ready-to-eat foods with high satiety in the third compartment for satiety."

"With these three items, I think I don't need to stock up anymore, and the other seven slots can be used to store survival tools."

Su Han had a blank expression on his face. "One tool per grid?"

As she spoke, she thought, this guy is simply a fraud! She strongly demanded a refund!

The young girl smiled mysteriously, "No, each of the other seven compartments has a backpack with tools in it."

Hearing this, Su Han was stunned.

The author has something to say: System note: This is a backpack full of miscellaneous items, it cannot be stacked
