Chapter 4 Don’t ask, if you ask it’s true

Shannai took the two gray diamond-shaped crystals and walked to the cashier counter, placing the crystal cores on the exchange machine. "Please look at the camera," Shannai reminded.

The small lens on the instrument quickly scanned Yang Liu's entire body, and the crystal core disappeared, and information appeared on the display screen.

【Exchange successful】

[Points balance on card: 100]

Due to the one-person-one-card system, Shannai carefully recharged the membership cards for the mother and son respectively.

Then, two orange gold-stamped cat-shaped cards were spit out from the redemption machine.

This was also the first time Shannai had seen this kind of operation. He held the card in his palm and looked at it for a few more seconds before picking up the card and handing it to Yang Liu.

"Okay, please keep your membership card. It's for personal use only. All items purchased from the supermarket are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and not for resale. You will be responsible for the consequences if you do. Please remember this."

Yang Liu was a little surprised at this operation.

She reached out and took the cat card woodenly and took a look at it. The three big words "Membership Card" were printed on the front, and her identity information and card number were on the back.

But she didn't seem to say what her and her son's names were.

This supermarket is amazing, and the owner is also very strange. The cat ear headband on his head looks so real, soft and fluffy.

She looks like just a bright and lovely girl, but she has the ability to open a supermarket in the end times.

But these are just thoughts.

Lucky Supermarket, it is really lucky to encounter this supermarket in the end times.

"Customers can now choose and purchase goods." Shannai reminded. The customer seemed to be worried and kept staring at her in a daze.

Is she just too cute? Or is there something on her face?

Yang Liu came to her senses and quickly pulled her son to the shelf to start calculating how much she could buy.

Because of the 20% discount, she got a lot of points, so she bought water and biscuits as much as possible.

I only bought two packs of instant noodles and didn't have any extra noodles, so I bought some more biscuits.

I used the remaining points on each of the last two cards to buy two meals.

The mother and son sat at the dining table by the window, drooling at the sight of the steaming hot stew in disbelief.

"Boss... there's a countdown on the back of my hand. What's going on?" Yang Liu was shocked when she saw the row of numbers just after she broke off half of a steamed bun and gave it to her son.

This galangal has done its homework in advance.

"Customers don't need to be afraid, that's the meal time reminder. If you exceed the time, you will be automatically asked to leave the supermarket. The time limit for purchasing goods and eating is three hours."

The system says that the store is an absolutely safe place and this is done to prevent customers from staying.

"Okay, thank you, boss. Come eat quickly, Xiaohang. This is a steamed bun made of flour, and this is pork..."

Shannai felt sad as he listened to Yang Liu patiently explaining to Xiao Hang.

Judging from Xiaohang’s age, he probably doesn’t remember eating it even if he was a child.

"Mom, eat first!" Although Xiao Hang was very greedy, he still obediently picked up a piece of potato for his mother.

Yang Liu also fed him a small piece of meat.

"Mom, this is what meat tastes like. The steamed buns smell so good too! Mom...why are you crying..."

Xiaohang tasted this delicacy for the first time and was very happy eating it.

But when he saw the tears flowing from the corners of Yang Liu's eyes, he hurriedly stretched out his little hand to wipe them away for her.

Yang Liu shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, Mom. Eat quickly. Just eat until you're full. Don't eat too much, or you'll feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

She was excited because she hadn't tasted a normal hot meal in a long time.

This bite of meat instantly reminded her of the good days three years ago, and the dish and steamed buns tasted so good.

Xiao Hang had never eaten such a sweet and soft big steamed bun in his memory. He felt a little choked when he took a bite. Yang Liu quickly opened a bottle of mineral water, carefully poured the water into the bottle cap, and then fed it to Xiao Hang.

“…Mom, can I have another sip? The water in this bottle seems sweet and clean!”

Xiao Hang's eyes were sparkling. Everything here was fresh and dreamy to him.

Yang Liu patted his head and pushed the bottle to him, "Sure, drink it."

If we were to say what is the most scarce commodity nowadays, it would be water.

The water outside is polluted, and there are only special ways to drink water.

Either find water resources from before the apocalypse, or have water-related psychics or scientific researchers purify it.

But no matter which one it is, the cost is not small.

Yang Liu looked at the clean and hygienic mineral water and couldn't help but want to cry again. She didn't know how the child's father was doing, and she really wanted to share it with him.

Sadness can only last for a moment. She needs to cheer up because her son still needs her.

Shannai watched calmly as the mother and son dipped the steamed buns in the soup and ate them cleanly. Only then did she feel relieved and took a cup of health-enhancing and beauty-enhancing tea and drank it in small sips.

It should be enough. The dish is a big plate and the steamed buns are also large. She was full after eating half of it and saved the other half for the next meal.

【Host, rest assured, the portion is quite large! 】

"Hmm? Do you know what I'm thinking?" Shannai asked in her heart.

[Uh uh... If I say that we have a telepathic connection, would you believe me? ]

"I don't trust you, stop spying on me, hum."

The system tactfully shut up.

Yang Liu watched her son finish the last bite of steamed bun with a smile, and took out a worn handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

I wanted to open another pack of biscuits, but maybe I had been hungry for too long, so I felt full after eating only the steamed buns and vegetables.

Save as much as you can.

The countdown on the back of her hand showed that there were still 40 minutes left. Yang Liu began to organize her backpack and neatly pack the newly purchased goods. If these supplies were used sparingly, they could last a long time.

It was already dark outside, and zombies were wandering around the streets.

There was no reaction at all when passing by the brightly lit supermarket, as if it was automatically filtered out.

Faced with this scene, Yang Liu was greatly shocked. He glanced at Shannai secretly and thought that the owner of this store must be a powerful person!

She packed her backpack, put the tableware back into the serving area, and then took her son to Shannai.

"Are you satisfied with the dishes?" Shannai also stood up and asked with a smile.

"I'm satisfied, very satisfied, and I'm very grateful to the boss for opening this store!" Yang Liu bowed deeply.

"Thank you, sister. You are so pretty! The cat ears on your head look real and they move!"

Xiao Hang looked up at the light yellow cat ears on Shannai's head, his eyes shining and full of curiosity.

He had seen a cat once before, and it was very cute, just like this sister.

Shanna was stunned, his expression stiff. The cat ears were showing?

"System, why didn't you remind me?"

No wonder the mother kept looking at her just now!

This is too social, they won't doubt themselves...

[It's been there all day. I thought the host didn't care. You don't have the ability to take it back anyway, so let it be. How cute, isn't it?]

Shannai was speechless. Fortunately, there was no tail, otherwise there would be no way to explain it.

Okay, okay, just think of it as a cat ear headband.

"Hehe, it's true, meow~"

Shannai stretched out his hand and made a clawing gesture, deliberately teasing Xiaohang, making the little guy giggle.

Yang Liu hadn't seen her son smile in a long time. She looked at him as if he were a treasure, then turned to Shan Nai and asked, "Excuse me, will your supermarket always be here?"

She always felt that Shannai was very mysterious. She wondered if she would just disappear once she left.

"Yes, welcome to visit again. If you have the chance, could you please help promote it?"

That’s great. Yang Liu planned to find a place to stay nearby while looking for her husband and trying to get some crystal cores.

As long as this supermarket is there, there is hope that we won’t starve to death.

"Of course! Then we'll take our leave."

"Goodbye, pretty sister."

Xiaohang looked at Shannai reluctantly.

"goodbye."

Shannai walked the person to the door and waved with a smile.
