Chapter 009 Chapter 9 Store
Even though An Qing had some expectations because of what 001 said before, she was still shocked by this number.
"Why so many?" she asked subconsciously.
The snow-white long-haired cat was currently curled up in bed, stretching its paws lazily. Hearing this, it snorted, "Is that too much? Pulling someone back from the brink of death in one fell swoop, no amount of gratitude is too much."
An Qing was stunned. On the verge of death?
Her pupils shrank slightly. No wonder she felt that the Bai Feng she met today was a little different from the original owner's memory. It turned out that he had already made up his mind to die.
An Qing's body was a little stiff. Her mind kept emerging from the time when she met Bai Feng before, when he asked her to call him tomorrow. She felt a chill in her heart.
She opened her lips and took a deep breath. She felt her hands and feet go numb from fear. She sat down on the bed, her eyes staring straight ahead.
001 flicked his tail, and the tip of his tail brushed gently against An Qing's arm. "Don't act like you're about to cry. This kind of thing is very normal in this world. Someone who brushed past you today might be a corpse tomorrow."
An Qing closed her eyes. In fact, she knew these things from the original owner's memory.
However, she came from a peaceful world, and even if she had the memories of the original owner, she could not adapt to this world in an instant. Her words and deeds mostly followed her own will, so she would sometimes really forget the cruelty of this world.
"You can feel the emotions of those who want to commit suicide, right?" An Qing looked at 001 who was curled up comfortably in a ball.
001, who had originally closed his eyes, opened one eye and looked at An Qing, "Well, it's obvious. Someone who wants to die has a gloomy demeanor and no trace of life can be seen on him."
An Qing nodded. "In that case, if you meet someone like Bai Feng again in the future, please remind me, okay?"
001 opened his eyes, and those beautiful mandarin duck eyes looked at An Qing quietly.
An Qing frowned, "Is it not possible?"
001 opened his mouth, yawned, and then slumped his head back down and closed his eyes. "Well, not really. Of course, I can. After all, if the food can restore their hope for life, then I can earn a lot of happiness."
An Qing breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled.
"So, Bai Feng next door won't commit suicide again, right?" Although An Qing had some guesses, she was still not sure, so she asked 001 for confirmation.
The long-haired cat flicked its tail: "Hmm."
An Qing confirmed her guess and then looked at her system panel again.
Her initial happiness value was 10 points. After that, she bought a bag of instant noodles from the big boss and used 3 points, leaving 7 points. The big boss and Wei Xunyi gave her 5 points and 7 points respectively, for a total of 19 points.
After I came back, I bought a bucket of instant noodles for Bai Feng next door, which cost me 5 points. Now I have earned another 100 points, and my total happiness value is now 114 points.
An Qing looked at the long-haired cat and asked, "I want to unlock the next shelf. How many points do I need?"
The long-haired cat opened its eyes and looked at her speechlessly for a long moment before saying, "It's still early. Your happiness isn't enough to unlock new shelves."
An Qing frowned and nodded, "I know, just tell me how much you need first."
The long-haired cat was a little impatient. There was no expression on its furry face, but An Qing felt that it seemed a little irritable.
This system is quite temperamental.
However, the long-haired cat didn't lose his temper after all. It seemed to have suppressed its anger. It turned around and faced her with its butt. Then it said, "The happiness points for unlocking the shelf vary. Some require 1,000 points, some 2,000, and some 10,000."
An Qing nodded. The happiness value required to unlock the shelf was indeed a bit high.
An Qing didn't disturb the system that wanted to sleep. After a simple wash, she took off her clothes and went to bed.
She lifted the quilt and pushed the long-haired cat into the corner.
The cat rolled over and stood up, staring at An Qing with its dim eyes.
An Qing turned off the lights, ignoring the cat's eyes glowing in the darkness, and said, "Go to sleep."
001 gritted his teeth and made a threatening snoring sound in his throat, but An Qing ignored it and just fell asleep.
Staring at the person breathing evenly, 001 stretched and retracted his claws, retracted and stretched them again, and finally jumped up and landed on An Qing's body, curled up into a ball, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
An Qing originally thought that she might not be able to sleep after traveling to this world, but perhaps because this body's schedule was so good, she fell asleep right after hitting the bed.
She had a dreamless night and her biological alarm clock woke her up on time at five in the morning.
An Qing sat on the bed. There was no light coming in from the window and the whole room was pitch black. Feeling thirsty, she reached out to turn on the night light on the bedside, but her hand was empty.
She was a little confused at first, but now she was completely awake. She realized that she was no longer in her home, but had traveled to another world.
Relying on the original owner's memory, An Qing turned on the lights in the room.
Looking at the small and cramped room, she sighed.
She couldn't remember where she had read that the area of a room should not be less than three square meters, otherwise it would easily make people feel depressed.
An Qing also saw it by chance on the Internet. She didn't know whether it was true or not, and she didn't know whether it had any reliable scientific basis, but she really felt a little suffocated when she looked at this room.
She stood up and took out a card from the bedside.
It was similar to the bank card in her original world, but it had a small display screen. With a click, the panel would recognize her fingerprint and she would be able to see how many points were in the card.
The original owner had been out on missions for four years and had earned a lot of points. An Qing counted the numbers and found that the total was more than 600,000 points.
In the base, being able to save more than 600,000 yuan in four years of missions is already very good, not to mention that she has moved out of the dormitory and lived in a single room.
You know, the rent of a dormitory is shared equally by everyone, so it can be much cheaper.
The rent for this kind of single dormitory is very expensive, costing 2,000 points per month. However, if they have the conditions, most people still prefer to live in a single room.
In fact, there are larger rooms in the base, but the rent for them is more expensive, and the monthly rent is several times that of a single dormitory.
But with these more than 600,000 points, even if it is 10,000 points a month, it is enough for her to live for more than 60 months.
However, these points were earned by the original owner of the coin market with great effort. Although according to the routine of the novel, since she has traveled through time, it is very likely that she will replace the original owner in the future.
But this is not absolute. After all, there are still many novels that go against the routine. In her case, she occupied the original owner's body without the original owner's knowledge, and in the end the body would be taken back by the original owner.
An Qing didn’t know which category she was in now, but no matter which category it was, she’d better not touch the original owner’s points. What if the original owner really came back one day?
What's more, with the supermarket system, she doesn't have to worry about not earning any coins.
After a quick wash, An Qing opened the door and walked out, just in time to meet Bai Feng from next door.
An Qing was stunned, then smiled and said, "Looks like I don't need to call you."
Bai Feng was a little embarrassed, his lips opened but no words came out.
An Qing nodded at him, closed the door and walked out.
Bai Feng hesitated for a moment, then followed, "An Yiqing."
An Qing looked over suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Bai Feng's eyes flashed, and he felt inexplicably nervous. His throat felt dry. He looked around and then asked in a low voice, "Do you still have that from yesterday?"
He looked at An Qing with anticipation in his eyes. After eating instant noodles yesterday, he felt particularly satisfied, and the previous feeling of depression disappeared in an instant.
Seeing the water made from the red leaf fuzz, he lost the desire to drink it and quietly disposed of the glass of water.
He was still savoring the taste of instant noodles all night last night. Even when he finally fell asleep, his dreams were of him lying on a mountain of instant noodles and laughing heartily.
But, I filled my stomach last night and I’m hungry this morning.
Moreover, after eating the instant noodles, he couldn't bear it when he looked at the nutrient solution and refused it from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, he got up very early this morning, after four o'clock, and kept waiting for An Qing at the door, for fear that he would not be able to find her if she left.
An Qing: "..."
Seeing Bai Feng looking around cautiously and vigilantly, she almost suspected that the two of them were doing some illegal transaction.
An Qing nodded. "Yes, but I won't give it to you privately now. Come to the first floor of Building 13 later. I opened a small restaurant there. You can come and eat there when the time comes."
"Don't come too early. The store may not be decorated yet." An Qing reminded.
Bai Feng was stunned. Hotel?
He looked at An Qing's back as she left and was lost in thought. In fact, after eating the instant noodles, he was very curious about where this thing came from. At first, he thought it was just like the fragrant pork, and he might die if he ate it.
But he is fine now, without any problem, which proves that this instant noodle is not poisonous.
Now it seems that the base has reproduced the instant noodles before the apocalypse?
Thinking of this, the taste of instant noodles came back to him. He swallowed subconsciously, and a little light appeared in his dark eyes.
If instant noodles can be replicated, will more edible things be replicated in the future?
After leaving the dormitory building, An Qing walked quickly towards the central building.
At the entrance of the central building, Wei Xunyi was already waiting for her. Seeing her coming, he nodded at her and said, "Everything you want is ready. Come on, I'll take you there."
An Qing followed Wei Xunyi to the first floor of Building 13.
The base moved really fast. It was so late yesterday when we discussed it, but everything was ready early this morning.
Many rooms on the first floor of Building 13 were completely opened up, leaving a 100-square-meter storefront. The door of the storefront was made of glass, smooth and bright, and faced the street.
There is also a sign of a small restaurant hanging at the door.
There are tables and chairs inside. I can't tell what material they are made of, but it doesn't feel like wood.
Wei Xunyi turned on the lights, and the entire small restaurant was suddenly brightly lit. The kitchen area was an open kitchen, but it was also separated by glass partitions.
"The range hood you requested won't be available for a while, but some experiments in the lab produce dense gases that need to be extracted and decomposed, so the leader had one brought over. It should be possible."
An Qing nodded and walked into the kitchen.
There is a long countertop in the kitchen, on which are placed pots, pans, and other things. Although they were made overnight and don’t look very good, they are usable.
An Qing touched it, looked at it, and then set her eyes on the stove.
Wei Xunyi followed her gaze and said, "Light this here to start the fire. If you want to turn it off, just light it again. It's very convenient. The size of the fire can be adjusted with the rotating head next to it."
An Qing tried it. Although it was a little different from a gas stove, the difference was not that big. It was quite simple and it was easy to remember how to operate it.
She originally thought that she would have to arrange everything herself, but now it seems that Wei Xunyi has already prepared everything and she can open for business directly.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked Bai Feng to come over.
An Qing sighed.
Wei Xunyi pointed to the card reader next to him and said, "This is what the boss ordered to be prepared for you. From now on, those who don't have any coins with them can pay directly by card."
This card machine was different from the POS machines An Qing knew, and the original owner had no memory of operating a card machine, so she asked directly, "How do I use this thing?"
Wei Xunyi explained the instructions to An Qing and even walked her through the process twice. After confirming that An Qing had memorized everything, he said, "You can also carry this communicator with you. If you need anything, you can contact me directly. It also has the contact number of the senior leader, so you can contact him as well."
An Qing was really surprised. The base was short of staff, and all research was focused on dealing with mutated plants and beasts, as well as human survival. Therefore, communicators were a scarce commodity in the base, but now Wei Xunyi gave her one directly.
But on second thought, it is understandable. After all, her golden finger is a very important resource in today's world.
"By the way, the boss plans to arrange someone to come and protect you, and asked me for your opinion." Wei Xunyi looked at An Qing.
An Qing couldn't help but sigh that this big leader really respected people.
She didn't even need to think, she just nodded, "Okay."
Although this base has strict regulations that prohibit humans from killing each other, there have been several cases where people have been suppressed to the point of madness, their emotions have become extreme, and they have carried out massacres in the base like crazy.
Even though the base security department acted quickly and subdued the crazy people, some people were injured or even killed.
An Qing believed in the strength of the original owner who had been traveling outside for four years, she just didn't believe in herself.
After all, even if she had the original owner's memories, it didn't mean she could fully digest all the knowledge and combat skills that the original owner had learned from childhood to university.
She still cherishes her life very much.
