Chapter 018 Chapter 18 Unlocking New Shelves
After get off work in the afternoon, the restaurant attracted many customers, and An Qing and her colleagues were busy until 11:30 in the evening before they packed up and closed the restaurant.
In fact, when the store closed, there were still quite a few people waiting in line outside. If it weren't for the members of the Fire Team forcibly dispersing them, it would be hard to say how long it would take to close.
An Qing had never done such a heavy workload since she was a child. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect or the original owner's body was not that strong. Anyway, at this moment, An Qing felt her shoulders were sore and painful, and her muscles were stiff.
She sat at the bar, rubbing her shoulders and stretching her arms.
The people from the Agni team were helping to clean the store and wash the bowls and forks.
An Qing rested for a while, took out the nutrient solution and drank it, then checked her happiness value.
From six o'clock to eleven thirty, all 100 bags of instant noodles were sold out, and she later replenished them with several hundred bags.
After opening her purchase records and adding them up, she later purchased another 527 bags.
Together with the previous 100 bags, the total is 627 bags.
The total cost is 1,881 happiness points. Fortunately, the benefits are also considerable. With so many happiness point reminders, An Qing has neither the time nor the energy to calculate them herself. She directly looks at the happiness point balance, which is currently 3,549 points.
An Qing looked at so many happiness points, and she was so happy both physically and mentally that her eyes were curved with smiles.
"Boss, this is the point coin income for this afternoon." A box was placed in front of An Qing.
An Qing looked up and saw Lin Zhiqi, who was responsible for collecting coins at the entrance in the afternoon.
"I have counted them. There are 1,881 coins in total. Boss, please count them." Lin Zhiqi said.
An Qing nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Zhiqi shook his head, "It's not hard."
He turned to leave, but An Qing hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, what did you think of the instant noodles we had earlier? Was it delicious? Did you like it?"
Lin Zhiqi looked over in surprise, then glanced at Tang Ming who was standing next to An Qing.
An Qing asked, "Don't like it? Don't worry, just tell the truth. I just want to understand."
Seeing that Tang Ming didn't say anything, Lin Zhiqi nodded and recalled the instant noodles he had eaten before.
The instant noodles are very chewy after being cooked, and the flavor of the soup is completely absorbed by the noodles. Both the texture and taste are excellent.
The rich flavor instantly awakened his usually bland taste buds. The moment he finished eating, he actually felt a little regretful because it was too little.
But that bite really made him savor it for a long time.
To say that I don't like it is absolutely impossible.
"I like it." Lin Zhiqi said honestly.
An Qing smiled and said, "Okay, go next door and call everyone from the Fiery Team over. Everyone has worked hard all day, I'll treat everyone to some noodles as a reward."
Lin Zhiqi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "No need, boss, we have already eaten this afternoon."
An Qing said with a smile, "Your wages are paid by the base, but I can't just not show any appreciation and ask you to work for me for nothing. It's settled, go now."
She turned to look at the captain of the Blazing Team, "Captain Tang, is it okay for me to treat everyone to noodles?"
Tang Ming lowered his head and looked at her for a while before saying, "As long as you think it's okay."
An Qing nodded and said to Lin Zhiqi, "Okay, go quickly."
As she spoke, she bought one hundred and one bags of instant noodles from the supermarket, selected several flavors, handed them to Jiang Shui, Bai Wei and the others, and asked Yun Cheng and his group to help make the noodles.
Making instant noodles is very simple. Just put the seasoning packet in and add water. Jiang Shui and the others can do it perfectly.
Tonight, An Qing gave each of them a bag of noodles. For 101 people, that’s only 303 happiness points, which is much more cost-effective than giving them some coins.
After all, even if one person received 10 coins, 101 people would still receive 1010 coins. Furthermore, she couldn't even afford to pay out 10 coins. It was like paying people 10 yuan a day in her own world. It was a shame to think about it. She might as well not pay them and just treat them to instant noodles.
Even if these people's happiness points do not increase at all, they will only lose 303 points of happiness points.
While the Fire Team was eating instant noodles, An Qing walked out of the restaurant and came to a secluded corner.
Tang Ming was still following her closely. An Qing felt helpless. "There's no one here right now. Captain Tang, you should go eat too. I'm not a weak researcher."
In the entire base, perhaps only those researchers who have not received physical training, have not experienced dense jungle battles, and are devoted to research have no combat effectiveness.
An Qing felt that with the original owner's memories and her body's muscle memory, she would be able to hold on for a while even if she encountered danger, so it would not be necessary for Tang Ming to stay by her side to protect her.
What's more, those people were driven away by the Fire Team, so there is no one around now.
Tang Ming shook his head and said, "No, I can't leave your side for a moment. This is the boss's request."
An Qing curled the corner of her mouth, feeling that Tang Ming was a bit stubborn and didn't know how to adapt.
"Forget it, whatever you want." An Qing walked to the wall, leaned against it, took out the communicator and dialed Wei Xunyi's number.
In the afternoon, Wei Xunyi called her, but the store was busy at that time and An Qing didn't answer. Wei Xunyi didn't call her again after that.
An Qing guessed that it was not an important matter, otherwise if Wei Xunyi failed to get through, he would either continue to call or come to her directly.
She thought about it and guessed that Wei Xunyi probably wanted to talk to her about ordering dishes and selling them individually.
About half a minute later, the other party picked up the call.
Wei Xunyi's voice was a little hoarse, "An Yiqing?"
An Qing paused and slapped her head. It was so late, Wei Xunyi was probably asleep, and she had woken him up from his sweet dream.
"Sorry, Secretary Wei, did I disturb you?" An Qing felt a little apologetic.
There was a rustling sound from the other side, as if someone had woken up. After a while, the voice lost its previous hoarseness. "It's okay, what happened?"
An Qing: "No, I just want to ask about the single-player version of the ordering service. What does the research institute say?"
Gulp, gulp. An Qing heard the sound of someone drinking water from the receiver of the communicator.
After a while, Wei Xunyi said, "We can actually make what you requested, but it will take a little longer. It will probably take about half a month to complete."
An Qing was a little disappointed, but when she thought about it, she realized that she would have no use for this kind of thing after the end of the world. If she wanted someone to make one for her now, many parts would probably have to be made on the spot, so it was normal that it would be slow.
She sighed, "Okay, I get it."
"How's the situation in the store today? Can you still cope with it?" Wei Xunyi asked.
An Qing nodded. "There's no problem for now. I feel like I can handle it."
Wei Xunyi hummed, "The leader has temporarily blocked off a lot of roads leading to Building 13 today. If you can handle it, could you open another one tomorrow?"
An Qing: "???"
She was a little confused, and then she realized that the aroma of instant noodles was very strong, and it should be very obvious to people who had never smelled this smell before. However, although it looked busy today, there were really not many people attracted by it.
You know, there are quite a few people in the entire base, and a few hundred people are not even a fraction of it.
It turned out that the big boss had the road blocked.
No wonder.
An Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's not open the gate for now. I have a feeling that everyone who can reach Building 13 has already come. There are still many people waiting in line at the back tonight who haven't been able to enter the hotel. I predict there will be even more people tomorrow."
Wei Xunyi nodded. "That's fine. Is the store cleaned up? If you're done, go back and rest. We can expand the store a little tonight. Tomorrow, the store should be able to accommodate more people."
An Qing nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After a communication time, when An Qing returned to the store, most of the Liehuo team had finished eating and were queuing up to wash the dishes.
After entering, An Qing asked Tang Ming to go over and eat quickly, and she went back to sit at the bar.
There was a constant ding ding ding sound in her ears. An Qing looked around but couldn't find 001.
She called out in her mind, "001?"
The furry cat lazily appeared on the bar, looking unhappy because its sleep was disturbed. It glanced at her lazily, "What's the matter?"
An Qing opened the system panel and said, "I want to unlock a new shelf."
Hearing this, 001 suddenly woke up and stood up, full of energy, a completely different cat from before. "Ah, can I unlock the new shelf now?"
An Qing hummed, "How much happiness is needed for the next shelf? 1000, right?"
001 nodded, "Yes, 1000 happiness points are enough for the next shelf, and 2000 points for the next. Your happiness points are enough to unlock two shelves at once."
An Qing was speechless seeing how excited and eager it was to try. She only had a little over 3,000 happiness points now. If she really had to spend so much at once, wouldn't she be in financial difficulty again?
She ignored 001 and chose to unlock a new shelf.
[Confirm to use 1000 happiness points to unlock new shelves? ]
An Qing: "Confirmed."
[Ding—Happiness value has been deducted, and the new shelf has been unlocked.]
Next to the lonely instant noodle shelf, a shelf suddenly appeared, standing side by side with the instant noodle shelf, and it was still filled with instant foods.
Snail noodles, hot and sour noodles, as well as self-heating hot pots and self-heating rice of various flavors, fill the entire shelf.
However, seeing the amount of happiness points required, An Qing couldn't help but frown, "What's going on? Why do these things require such a high amount of happiness points?"
Hot and Sour Noodles actually requires 6 points of happiness, which is the lowest happiness point required on this shelf.
Snail noodles require 18 happiness points.
Self-heating rice requires 26 happiness points.
Self-heating hotpot is more expensive, costing 32 happiness points.
An Qing felt that her blood pressure was a little high and she was a little breathless. If there weren't so many people here, she really wanted to pinch her Ren Zhong.
"Is this happiness value wrong?" An Qing looked at 001.
After all, normally, a person's highest happiness value is only 10 points, so wouldn't she just be losing money?
The long-haired cat flicked its tail and rolled its eyes at An Qing. "You're right. Different products can bring different levels of happiness. For example, if you gave Bai Feng high-happiness products like self-heating hot pot or self-heating rice instead of instant noodles last night, he would definitely have gained more than 100 happiness points."
