Chapter 50 Boutique
Jiang Baiyue closed her eyes and stretched comfortably.
Day 9 of survival, 14:31:41, temperature 0°C～2°C, zone 301, number of survivors 91234/100000.
It was still raining outside. Jiang Baiyue put on the floral cotton-padded jacket and trousers she had changed into. Even after her upgrade, she felt a bit cold.
The first thing she did after getting up was to place the blueprints for the advanced protective shield on her workbench.
[Player has been detected to possess materials for crafting an advanced protective shield. Do you wish to use the materials to craft the advanced protective shield?]
"yes."
Gu Zilin would return the workbench to Jiang Baiyue every night before going to bed, so when she woke up, the workbench was still with her, so she simply made the advanced protective shield first.
Besides, it was already afternoon, so she wasn't in a hurry to go out.
Jiang Baiyue opened the warehouse and checked the materials and supplies obtained last night one by one.
Going "bankrupt" and then suddenly rich overnight is more thrilling than riding a roller coaster.
The food was almost gone, with only a few berries left.
There weren't many basic materials left, so I picked up some more dropped items to replenish them, and also got some new miscellaneous materials, but I don't know what they're for.
Jiang Baiyue is a little obsessive-compulsive. When playing games, she likes to organize the placement of resources. She moves basic materials such as wood, stone, and scrap iron together, mechanical parts together, weapons in blocks, and then food...
?
I accidentally clicked on the investment promotion card, and its details popped up.
[Recruitment Card: Used to recruit merchants (Note: Fanletao is currently one of the eligible recruiters.)]
There's an extra line of text after the details, with Fan Letao's name highlighted in blue.
Jiang Baiyue's heart pounded as she reached out and clicked on Fan Letao's name.
[Has the player "Lying Flat and Salty Fish" confirmed using a merchant card to recruit the mobile store merchant Fan Letao?]
"Um... if we're only recruiting Fan Letao, what about her shop?"
The mechanical voice didn't answer Jiang Baiyue's question, but she had a strong feeling that it was possible!
"Recruiting Fan Letao!"
The air was quiet, and there were no clanging or clattering sounds of construction.
Could it have failed?
The cute duck bag sold by Fanletao is actually a backpack. Although it is not cheap, it has a large capacity—50 compartments.
Previously, residents had to grit their teeth to buy them, but after tonight, she felt it was very likely that everyone could buy one, after all, she heard many people say that they had earned 10,000 to 20,000 coins in one night.
Two minutes later, a new screen popped up in front of Jiang Baiyue.
Boutique (Fanletao)
Level: 0
Product Supply: Cute Duck Bag
Quantity of goods: 20
Prosperity Value: 300
Architectural effect: To attract more residents to move into the site.
Tax setting: 0%-100% (Note: Base managers can set this themselves.)
Regarding taxes, Jiang Baiyue treated everyone equally, setting the rate at 10%, just like the Mercenary Bar.
Fan Letao's shop is only level 0, so the quality of game rewards is definitely higher.
She turned off the screen and turned on the base's 3D projection. The boutique appeared next to the mercenary bar, and Fan Letao could be seen looking around as he opened the door on the projection.
Fan Letao's projected avatar seemed to be beckoning customers, and a player who was strolling around and about to enter the mercenary bar was pulled into the store by Fan Letao.
Jiang Baiyue: ...Um, it shouldn't be a shady shop, right? The stuff is indeed good stuff.
Shaking her head to clear her wandering thoughts, Jiang Baiyue continued to deal with the matters at hand.
The first is to settle the task rewards for the residents at night.
The system has already recorded and calculated the rewards, but Jiang Baiyue needs to confirm and release them.
She glanced through it, had no objections, and clicked "Confirm with one click".
The second thing is to plan the construction of farmland. If zombie attacks become the norm in the future, the base must be self-sufficient in food in order to develop in the long term.
Otherwise, like today, after a major battle, most players won't be able to go out to collect resources the next day, and sooner or later the base will not be able to operate, or even develop abnormally.
...
"Is this White Moon Base safe?"
"Should we go to the Tier 2 base? I heard it's heavily fortified, and nothing happened there last night..."
"Do you know where there's a Level 2 base?"
"have no idea……"
The funeral parlor worker looked up at the base.
Upon entering, there is a white building with four large characters on the top: "Mission Hall." Inside, there seem to be many people, standing, sitting, chatting, and walking around.
Next to the mission hall was a neon-lit building with the words "Mercenary Bar" flashing in colorful lights, dazzling and eye-catching, with people coming and going at the stylishly designed entrance.
Everyone looked cheerful and relaxed, while some had flushed faces and were being supported by their companions, as if they were drunk.
The view of the funeral parlor shifts to the side, and there's another building—a boutique?
"Brother, are we going in or not? Or maybe we should spend the night here?"
The fat man, who wasn't thin, hesitantly poked the dazed funeral parlor worker.
"Go in! Have you ever seen so many buildings in the Peach Blossom Base?"
The fat man, who wasn't thin, turned to ask others.
The others were stunned, while someone muttered, "White Moon Base is pretty good. It survived the zombie attack last night, so it might be able to get through tonight safely as well. Plus, the accommodation fee is only 3 coins, which is more than 3 times cheaper than Peach Blossom Base."
"Besides, I saw a lot of them crammed into those buildings, maybe we can go in and take shelter from the rain too."
"The White Moon Base even has public toilets and showers! I want to go in, I haven't showered for eight days, my clothes are covered in mud..."
When it comes to taking a bath, even those who were unsure no longer hesitated; taking a bath in this cold, rainy weather is just too appealing.
Moreover, I've heard that the atmosphere at the White Moon Base is very good, with no exploitation or domineering factions.
After hearing that his companions had all agreed, the funeral service worker had just submitted his check-in fee when a woman with a wolf tail and a severed hand walked past him and directly into the White Moon Base.
Upon seeing this, others immediately paid the fee to avoid not being able to find a place to rest.
After entering the White Moon Base, Yang Liu Fei Dao looked at the rows of wooden houses and buildings and felt a little lost.
She didn't know if what she was doing was right. Taking her mother and father, who were unable to fight, she abandoned all supplies and stubbornly left Peach Blossom Base.
How can they survive when they have nothing?
Besides, he had lost an arm...
Why are there so many people gathered there?
Upon hearing this, Yang Liufei instinctively turned his head to look—it was a boutique store, and the entrance was crowded with noisy people.
She walked over to take a look out of curiosity.
"Oh, boss, I saw the one first!"
"I was here first! I was here first! Don't push!"
"Ouch, who is it that stepped on my shoes and got them dirty again?"
"Boss, please save me one duck bun! Just one!"
Fan Letao wiped away imaginary tears from the corners of her eyes. How long had it been since she'd seen such a frenzied scene? Wait, wasn't this her first time opening a shop?
"Quiet down, everyone! Line up! Limited to 20 per day! Everyone gets one!"
"There are only 20 a day! Don't fight me for them, you can buy them tomorrow anyway."
"Get lost! Why don't you buy it tomorrow?"
The group of people were completely bewildered by the funeral service and couldn't squeeze into the crowd, so they grabbed one of the people who managed to get through and asked him.
"What's going on, friend? We just arrived, what are the rules at this base?"
"Rules? You're unfamiliar with them. The White Moon Base's resident rules are just a few... In short, you can't steal or rob in the base..."
