Chapter 043 Chapter 43
[Do you want to use 256,000 happiness points to unlock new shelves? ]
An Qing: "Yes."
[Ding—Happiness value has been deducted, and the new shelf has been unlocked successfully.]
The next moment, the tenth shelf appeared.
Obviously different from the previous nine shelves, this shelf is not that high and should be considered a container. The container is not big and has two compartments inside, one for rice and the other for flour!
When An Qing saw these two things, her eyes lit up immediately. After all, these were staple foods!
As her eyes fell on the white rice, An Qing's mouth began to secrete saliva, and her mind uncontrollably began to recall the feeling of eating in her previous life.
She used to be a picky eater with a small appetite. She couldn't eat much every day. If there was nothing to her taste, she wouldn't be able to finish a single bite.
If there were no vegetables and she was only asked to eat rice, she would really find it difficult to swallow.
But now, An Qing feels that she can eat ten bowls of rice on an empty stomach!
An Qing looked at the prices on the shelf. After seeing the labels clearly, she was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked carefully to make sure she was not mistaken.
She couldn't help but call the system, "001, what's going on? Why is there still a cooldown?"
After a while, 001's weak voice finally rang out, "Do you want to see what time it is? If you don't sleep, I should sleep too! If you have anything to ask me during the day, can't you?"
An Qing: "..."
Hearing the strong resentment in 001's voice, she glanced at the time and suddenly felt a little guilty.
But she quickly realized what was happening and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you a system? Do you still need to sleep?"
001 was very confident, "Who said the system doesn't need to rest?"
An Qing choked and had to admit that all the systems she knew were from novels. Whether the real system needed to sleep or not could not be based on novels.
"Okay, I'm sorry." An Qing thanked him sincerely, "But since you're awake, can you tell me what's going on? Why is there a purchase limit for this thing? And why is there a cooldown period?"
There are several lines of words clearly marked in front of the containers of rice and flour.
For rice, the maximum purchase amount at one time is 100 kilograms, and the cooling period is 48 hours. Purchases of less than 100 kilograms will not be accumulated or added.
The same lines of words also appear on the flour side.
The price is below these lines.
Rice is worth 10 happiness points per kilogram.
Flour is worth 18 happiness points per pound.
100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour sounds like a lot. If she eats it alone, if she is a little frugal, it may be enough to last her for two years.
But it is obviously not enough to feed the entire base.
Under normal circumstances, the average adult can eat half a kilogram of rice per day. Even if she only feeds them one meal a day, it is only enough for two hundred people and cannot cover the entire base.
Not to mention, it has to cool down for 48 hours after purchase.
001 said unhappily, "Whatever the system says is what the rules are. Don't ask me any more questions. I know you seem to want me to change the rules, but that's impossible."
An Qing: "..."
Even though her thoughts were exposed, she didn't feel embarrassed. She just shrugged and said, "Okay, but why? Aren't you the system itself?"
001 said angrily: "But I don't have permission to modify it!"
The air suddenly became quiet. Even though she couldn't see 001, An Qing could imagine how stiff the cat became after it roared this sentence.
An Qing: "Oh."
001 gnashed his teeth. This time he was really not sleepy at all. He was wide awake. He suddenly appeared, his whole face distorted. You can imagine how angry he was. "You did it on purpose?"
An Qing touched her nose and said, "I didn't. I just asked out of curiosity. It's your freedom to answer or not."
001 stared at An Qing, still feeling angry. He always felt that she was taking advantage of the fact that he had just been woken up and was still sleepy to trick him into talking, but he had no evidence.
001 was very angry, but he couldn't do anything about An Qing. He snorted in frustration and disappeared.
An Qing smiled. Although she had expected it, she had never confirmed it. Now she got it out of 001.
She doesn't have any special tricks in asking questions, mainly because 001 is easier to get.
However, 001, as the Happy Supermarket System, and the system itself belong to two different individuals, yet they are closely connected.
It understands the system, but not completely, and cannot modify anything in the system.
Although An Qing still doesn’t understand what’s going on, it’s actually a good thing for her that 001 can’t repair things in the supermarket.
After all, 001 is really too smart.
An Qing glanced at the cabinets of the supermarket system. Although the supermarket had not opened yet, the base was now distributing food on its own, so she no longer had to cook instant noodles and snail rice noodles in the restaurant.
To be honest, although she also likes to eat snail noodles, after cooking too much snail noodles, the smell all over her body is still very uncomfortable. Even taking a shower cannot easily remove the smell. It is as if it has been marinated.
Of course, the other four stores could send some instant noodles, snail noodles and other things over. After all, she could easily handle 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour by herself.
In her previous life, she seldom did housework, and when she cooked occasionally, she would only use an electric rice cooker. However, she had watched many videos of cooking in her previous life, because watching others cook was actually quite relaxing.
In her free time every day, she either reads novels or watches these videos.
An Qing felt that it was actually quite simple and she shouldn't have any problems.
but……
There are no electric rice cookers for cooking now, and the pots made in the restaurant base cannot be used to make porridge.
As for flour, there is no yeast powder for making steamed buns, and no seasoning for rolling noodles...
Thinking of this, she still had to unlock the shelf.
[Confirm to use 512,000 happiness points to unlock the shelf? ]
An Qing: "Confirmed."
[Ding—Happiness value has been deducted, and the shelf has been unlocked successfully.]
A flash of light and a new shelf appeared.
This shelf is filled with a variety of oils.
There are soybean oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, scallion oil, ginger oil, pepper oil...
These oils are all packaged in 1-jin packages and have a uniform price of 50 points per bottle.
However, except for soybean oil, other oils are still gray and locked and cannot be purchased.
An Qing carefully looked at the instructions on the shelf.
Use soybean oil to make a new dish to unlock the next oil. (Note: New dishes are dishes that have never appeared before, and those that have appeared will not be rewarded.)
An Qing: "???"
Are you kidding? She doesn't even have the ingredients, so how can she make a new dish?
An Qing was also very concerned about the notes after the brackets. What does it mean that it has never appeared?
There are probably two possibilities. One is that these dishes have appeared before the end of the world, so they are not considered new products if she makes them.
Or perhaps it could be said that the dishes from her original world, which she copied here, don't count.
No matter which one it is, it's a bit troublesome for An Qing.
She had never cooked before, and she might not be able to make the dish well by just copying the recipe, let alone researching new dishes.
As for the lack of variety, the lack of ingredients is even worse.
Although the animals and plants in this world have mutated, they all contain extremely strong toxins and are not edible at all...
etc……
An Qing looked at the requirements on the shelf. It only said that new dishes could be unlocked by researching them, but it didn't say that the new dishes had to be edible!
Of course, she wasn't sure whether her crazy idea would work.
But for now, soybean oil is the only oil that can be used, and she can't use anything else.
She had just unlocked two shelves, which had used up more than 700,000 happiness points. Her current balance had dropped from more than 8 million to more than 7 million.
She looked at the system panel, happiness value: 7962597.
The twelfth shelf will cost a little over a million...
An Qing thought for a while, gritted her teeth, and still endured the pain, and unlocked the shelf again.
[Do you want to use 1024000 happiness points to unlock the shelf? ]
At this moment, An Qing covered her chest with her hands in pain, and squeezed out a word from between her teeth, "Yes."
An Qing felt a little suffocated when she thought that the next shelf would cost more than two million.
But until she successfully unlocked it, she had no idea what the next shelf was.
[Ding—Happiness value has been deducted, and the shelf has been unlocked successfully.]
Soon, a new shelf appeared in front of An Qing. On the shelf were a wide variety of goods, including pots, pans, woks, soup pots, stew pots, casseroles, steamers, pressure cookers...
It can be said to be very complete, but like the oil, except for one wok that can be purchased, the other pots are all unlocked.
An Qing took a look at the price of the wok and was so scared that she jumped up from the bed.
She stared at the price above.
I silently counted the zeros after the price.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... tens of millions!
A pot like this actually costs 30 million happiness points! Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
She could understand that a pot was a long-term item, unlike food that would disappear after being eaten, but wasn't the price a bit too outrageous? An Qing really wanted to catch 001 and ask him about it, but thinking about how angry she had just been, she could only hold it back and wait, at least until tomorrow to coax him into a fight.
An Qing was not worried that 001 would not answer, because she had a guess in her mind at the moment. Although this system was a scam, it was centered around her.
It is not certain whether this speculation is accurate, but the possibility is quite high at present.
Of course, you still have to coax them.
No matter why this pot is so expensive, An Qing feels very uncomfortable now. It feels like she spent a million to buy something that is nothing and has no use.
An Qing took a deep breath and could only comfort herself.
Perhaps the pots on this shelf have some special function? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so expensive. If there's no other function worth the price, An Qing would rather talk to Wei Xunyi and ask the research institute to make her a complete range of pots.
Even if it is a pressure cooker or an electric rice cooker, I believe that with the science and technology in this world, as long as they are willing to do it, they can definitely make it.
