"We made so many crystal cores today!" Bingbing carefully presented the small ledger with both hands.
The entire list of items sold today is densely written on it.
Lu Sheng and the others huddled together to take a look and couldn't help but chuckle.
The child didn't know how to write some words, so we used simple line drawings to sketch out the approximate shape.
This ledger is half text and half small, abstract illustrations of various styles; you have to guess what it is to figure it out.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
They made a considerable profit on Meituan Maicai in one day, selling over a thousand crystal cores today alone.
"That's all! Please come early tomorrow! I'm off work today!"
On the other side, Han Mingjun sold the last rack of spare ribs and then waved his hand to shoo people away.
As the senior figure at Lu Sheng Base, he has always firmly supported the 8-hour workday. He started by rejecting cutthroat competition, and leaving work on time was of paramount importance.
Those who didn't get anything looked disappointed, but asked with forced smiles, "What time does it start tomorrow? We came early to queue."
"9 to 5, don't come too early!" Han Mingjun hurriedly added to Leyiju.
This group of people is so enthusiastic. He gets up at five in the morning to feed the chickens and can see crowds of people outside. It's kind of scary.
After these people finished packing up their stall and were about to close up shop, they discovered that Lu Sheng and the others had already returned.
"The poultry at our base are growing too fast. The warehouse is overflowing with meat. The rate at which they are being eaten can't keep up with the rate at which they are being raised. There's simply no place left to store them."
Han Mingjun immediately explained to Lu Sheng, "I was afraid that this meat would go to waste. There were some refugees nearby who wanted to exchange food with us, so I thought I would sell it to them to earn some crystal cores."
"All the accounts have been prepared these past few days, and not a single crystal core is missing; they're all on the table in the villa."
Regardless, everything in this base belongs to Lu Sheng. Selling it to outsiders without informing Lu Sheng is, in a sense, overstepping his bounds.
After saying that, he took Lu Sheng and the others back to the villa for a check-up.
Sure enough, the table was piled high with crystal cores, almost too big to fit on the table.
"It's alright, making the most of everything, you've inspired me too."
Lu Sheng waved his hand dismissively, and a new idea popped into his head instantly.
Instead of wasting manpower on this repetitive work, why not just start a business that sells goods to the public?
All the modules and functions in this system require a lot of crystal cores to unlock and upgrade. Instead of them working hard to fight zombies and dig for crystal cores, wouldn't it be faster to just sell the goods?
After a short rest, Lu Sheng opened the supermarket module of the system that evening to see if it could be upgraded.
Good news! It is indeed possible to enable the sale of goods to the public, and there are even vending machines available.
Bad news: it requires 10,000 crystal cores to unlock, which is incredibly expensive.
This system certainly wouldn't let Lu Sheng gain any advantage; its main strategy was to bleed him dry before he could eat the meat.
Looking at the brand-new and tempting vending machine in the system, Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and made a tough decision to pay 10,000 crystal cores.
Ten minutes later, Lu Sheng placed the vending machine in the most conspicuous location on the outskirts of the safe zone.
The system's vending machines are very advanced and thoughtful, allowing customers to select and purchase all categories of products, and even equipped with a dedicated instant noodle machine and heating equipment.
To meet the demand for cold drinks, a special ice maker was also installed.
It's practically like a convenience store before the apocalypse.
To free up the labor force in the base, Lu Sheng used the zombie factory to create specialized zombie salespersons.
Considering the balance of yin and yang, she chose a female zombie employee this time, using the appearance template of a certain "national little sister".
So when everyone in the base woke up and opened their eyes, they saw a beautiful, delicate-looking, long-legged zombie girl guarding the vending machine, while a group of refugees crowded outside, scrambling to put in crystal cores to buy instant noodles.
When you're lacking in oil and fat, instant noodles, this junk food, can be incredibly satisfying, bringing a strong sense of satisfaction from the tip of your tongue to your stomach.
The aroma of the spices gave everyone a feeling of returning to the pre-apocalyptic world.
Yesterday, the square-faced old man bought instant noodles three times in the morning in an attempt to get closer to the long-legged zombie girl, and his lips turned red from eating them.
[Beep - Upgraded business activity detected at the base]
[Current base prosperity level increased by 200]
[The base's level has been upgraded; it is now rated as a prosperous county town.]
[Upgrade Reward: System Assistant +1]
The little panda in the corner was moved to tears. It's here, it's finally here! It's going to have companions too!
Lu Sheng spent a long time choosing from the options provided by the system, and finally picked a small kangaroo.
The main problem is that no one is taking care of Penpen and Little Sunflower, and Zhuangzhuang has been a mother for a long time without pain, so we should give the long-term employees some benefits.
With the little kangaroo helper, Piglet and Flower at least have a caregiver!
The base was thriving, and Su Jiwen, who had driven a long distance from outside, was almost speechless with astonishment.
