Chapter 630 Luxury Goods Zone
And one thing that’s better than ordinary supermarkets is that everything here is introduced.
For example, the bottle of sugar-free cola in front of her was labeled: out of print cola, hard to find sugar-free, expired.
Very honest and truthful. The price is also clearly marked, 30 points.
Annan didn't know whether 30 points was expensive or cheap. She only knew that even if she and Gu Zhiyu's initial points were added together, it would not be enough to buy this bottle of Coke.
The two continued walking forward and found that the quality of the goods on the entire first floor varied greatly, and the prices were also different.
The same item is sold for 30 points on one side of the shelf, but becomes 14 points on the other side.
You need to have a certain eye when buying, otherwise it is easy to overpay.
It feels like comparing prices on Taobao.
Unfortunately, there is no one-click search for the same product here, so you can only compare prices and quality with your own eyes and feet.
Although it is time-consuming and laborious, it is a good place to kill time.
In the end times, being able to safely pick and choose from piles of supplies without having to worry about being robbed or killed is already quite a luxury.
There are many armed soldiers patrolling here, acting as both human surveillance and security guards.
No one should try to steal or smuggle goods.
The first floor was filled with consignment items, all kinds of strange things. Annan even found an amulet.
The label reads: The magical energy has kept me safe through the last three years of the apocalypse. I’m selling it today at a low price, waiting for the right person.
Look at the price again: 50 points.
Annan was shocked. This was a scam. Who would buy it? The price was so high!
Annan looked around before and found that the price of one kilogram of food was basically around 10 points. 50 points can buy five kilograms of food. Wouldn't it be better to use this money to stock up on food?
No wonder I couldn't exchange points directly, but put them on consignment on the first floor. If I really exchanged points directly with the supermarket, I probably wouldn't get a single point.
In addition to these weird things, there are also some really good things that are worth a lot of money.
They are all placed in the luxury goods area.
Yes, this supermarket also sells luxury goods.
However, they are not bags or famous watches, but antibiotics, cigarettes and other special items that are hard to find in the end times.
The prices were ridiculous, and all the items were covered in dust, making it clear that few people could afford them.
Annan looked around and saw that there were even condoms inside.
First-tier luxury brands such as Hermes and Chanel would never have imagined that one day it would be family planning products that would squeeze them out of the luxury goods market.
Jie Moubang certainly never imagined that one day he would suddenly become a high-end luxury goods tycoon.
Annan took a look at the price and saw that it was basically 200 points each.
This unit price is really sky-high. After all, 200 points can buy 20 kilograms of food that can feed a family for a long time.
The most outrageous thing is that this thing is available second-hand.
The label says: 90% new. Slightly used, cleaned, disease-free, safe to use.
The price is not cheap, it also costs 60 points.
It's really astonishing...
But on second thought, it's understandable. In the last days, being pregnant is basically a death sentence.
In a world where people are in danger of losing their lives at any time and a cold or fever can kill people, how can women be willing to have children? Even in Annan, where there are abundant supplies, people are taking serious and rigorous measures to avoid being infected.
Although the safety factor of used gloves like this one is extremely low, it is better than taking no measures at all.
Annan was in a daze in the luxury goods area for a while, thinking to herself, with all the huge amount of cigarettes in her space and the boxes of sets she collected from all over the place, if she sold them all here, she would become the richest person in the base, right?
Gu Zhiyu, who was standing by, noticed that there was a rather special product in the corner of this area.
a pistol.
He pointed to Annan in surprise and said, "Look here."
What is displayed here is not the real thing, but a picture showing a pistol. The label next to it reads:
Homemade pistol, 10 bullets for free. Pay half of the points first to pick up the goods, and pay the other half to complete the transaction when you are satisfied.
The price tag is 300,000 points, equivalent to 15 tons of grain. Most people simply can’t afford it.
Annan had money, but she had no intention of buying one. After all, she had a lot of good guns, and this was just a pistol, a homemade one at that, so it was not safe to use.
But it did confirm the rumors from the previous life - you can really buy guns here.
It seems that resources are really scarce nowadays. Even if some people occasionally sell some banned items in order to collect food, the authorities basically turn a blind eye.
If the second floor doesn’t accept it, just throw it on the first floor and consign it for sale.
Just like the public security management today, it just requires you not to kill people, or to say that the killing should not make too much noise.
But in the face of a natural disaster, let alone killing someone, even if you get into a fight, you will have to be taken to the police station and have a criminal record.
The two stayed in the luxury goods area for a long time, which attracted four armed soldiers nearby, who stared at them eagerly.
Annan quickly dragged Gu Zhiyu away to avoid any misunderstanding.
The patrol soldiers here are almost catching up with the shoppers, and it is not easy to get into conflict with others on official territory.
Soon, he had finished browsing the entire first floor, and the only thing Annan planned to buy was jadeite.
Yes, there are a lot of jade here.
The prices are generally not high and the quality is particularly good.
Because it is useless to ordinary people, you can't even exchange it for a single point if you take it to the second floor, so it can only be put on the first floor for consignment at a low price, waiting for the right person.
They are obviously high-quality goods, but many of the prices are in single digits.
Annan's mood is simply too good!
For her, she can go to the registry and sell a few sets later, and then she can buy all the tons of jade here - what's the difference between this and picking them up for free?
She said to Gu Zhiyu with some pride: "We've come to the right place!"
Gu Zhiyu chuckled and said, "You've come to the right place."
He also praised her by saying, "It's our An An who has foresight."
Annan happily dragged him up to the second floor.
The goods on the second floor are much more organized. They are all displayed according to category and quality, and the prices are consistent.
All items of the same quality are put together, so you don't have to compare prices yourself.
It is worthy of being officially acquired, it is reliable.
Annan took a quick look and began looking for the official self-operated area that the staff member mentioned.
She was very curious about what the government's idle resources were.
By asking the patrol soldiers, the two quickly found the self-camped area.
The goods here are basically not real objects, but just like the pistol downstairs, there are only display pictures and introductions.
Annan glanced at it for a few times, and soon his attention was drawn to the display board in the center. He was stunned and shouted:
"Fighter?!"
