Chapter 4: There is a box lunch?
"What are you talking about? You're so noisy." Xia Yan pinched his earlobe and rolled his eyes. "Don't close my shop. The zombies can't get in."
"How is this possible! Are you still living in a fairy tale world?! Don't drag me into this even if you want to die!" Feng Bei thought this man was incredible.
Do zombies know who you are?
Isn't leaving the door wide open inviting zombies to come?
Crazy! This is a crazy woman!
"Don't worry, you won't die in my shop. Xiongxiong, open the door."
Xiong Xiong, who was standing aside, walked towards the door after receiving the order.
Only then did Feng Bei notice the doll in the corner. Seeing it rushing towards him and trying to pull him away, he started cursing in panic.
The little bear was not as soft as it looked. Feng Bei struggled hard but could not escape. She could only watch Xiong Xiong open the door.
The zombies outside the door would pounce in and bite her to death the moment she opened the door. Feng Bei closed her eyes in despair and regretted running in here.
With a heavy creak, the glass door opened.
Feng Bei felt that he could already smell the stench of decay coming towards him...
"Hello, welcome to the resort hotel. Could you please check in?"
Xia Yan held his chin with a wicked smile.
Feng Bei: ???
She opened her eyes tremblingly and looked outside the door. The zombies she had expected did not rush into the store, but gathered one meter outside the door, swaying without a target.
"This...is this your special ability?" Feng Bei's face was still pale, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
After the apocalypse, half of the people who managed to survive gained superpowers. She had seen all sorts of different superpowers, including wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, as well as the ability to blend with the environment, tame exotic animals, control plants, and even spit bubbles to cover oneself...
The only thing I have never seen is the superpowers used by the girl in front of me!
"...What kind of supernatural power do you have?" Feng Bei collapsed to the ground completely when she saw that the zombies could neither hear nor see their movements.
Xia Yan tilted his head slightly when he heard this, "Superpowers... Does running a hotel count?"
Feng Bei's eyes widened. What kind of supernatural power is this?
She looked around the store in confusion, and her eyes fell on the three machines in the corner, and she jumped up.
"Hey, this, this...there's still food?!"
Xia Yan nodded.
"Is it edible? How can I buy it?" Feng Bei's face was almost pressed against the machine, and he wished he could take out all the food inside and eat it all.
God knows how long it has been since she had a proper meal.
Every day I eat compressed biscuits soaked in water, and this is food that others can't even beg for.
But, all these foods are edible?!
How to buy? Xia Yan had forgotten about this. As the store owner, she didn't need points to buy things, so she hadn't considered this aspect...
"Wait for me."
She opened the mall interface and found the payment and exchange machine in the search bar. Among the different options, she found the free version on the last page and checked it.
Xia Yan pretended to bend down and placed the bulky cash register on the table.
"Do you have a crystal core?"
Feng Bei felt in his pocket and only found a first-level crystal core.
What can I buy with a first-level crystal core? These meals look very expensive... She asked with frustration and unwillingness, "Can I buy a first-level crystal core?"
Xia Yan smiled mysteriously and asked her to place the crystal core into the small entrance of the machine.
Feng Bei did as he was told and stared at the screen.
Soon a line of words appeared on the screen: Level 1 crystal core, redeemable for 100 points, do you want to redeem?
Feng Bei couldn't wait to click yes.
The machine spits out a card.
"Is this all right?" Feng Bei picked up the card and looked at it carefully. It was no different from the supermarket points card before the end of the world.
Xia Yan walked out of the checkout counter. She was also curious about the prices on these food machines.
Feng Bei checked a bulgogi bibimbap on the lunch machine.
[Need to pay 15 points, please swipe the card]
Feng Bei widened his eyes in disbelief again, swiped the card with trembling hands, and a box of lunch was pushed out in a few seconds.
“It’s so…amazing!”
She opened the lunch box eagerly. The golden grilled meat was covered with sauce, the brightly colored shredded potatoes were paired with tender green lettuce, and underneath was the plump rice, which made her mouth water.
Without thinking too much, she unpacked the chopsticks and stuffed the food into her mouth.
The moment she took a bite, she was so excited that she almost cried. She forgot how long it had been since she had eaten such a delicious meal. Was she dreaming? Had she gone to heaven?
No matter whether it is dead or not, she has to eat her fill.
Xia Yan looked at the 15 points that had arrived in his account, and the store's operating performance was finally not zero.
Seeing how she enjoys her meal, could she become a full-time lunch vendor? Besides, there are only two single rooms available right now, each costing 20 points. It's unclear how long it will take to earn the full 500 points.
If you use both the lunch machine and the breakfast machine, upgrading is just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Xia Yan looked at Feng Bei with golden eyes, "My dear, you are a walking publicity stunt."
Xia Yan was just about to get her a glass of water, but she found out that she was the only one who could drink the water in the dispenser for free, and others had to pay one point to drink it.
Oh, little shop, I didn’t expect you to be such a profiteer.
Not bad, not bad, it suits her taste.
Out of kindness, Xia Yan kindly reminded, "There's a water dispenser here, it only costs one point."
Feng Bei puffed out her cheeks, moving like a hamster, nodded, and walked to the water dispenser with her lunch box to get a glass of water. Looking at the clear water, she found it difficult to express her feelings.
Not only is there a shortage of food in the outside world, but even the water is polluted. The major bases can only dig deep underground, extract water with a low pollution index, and have purification experts purify it before distributing it down.
But there are too few people with the ability to purify water. They are the key protected group in the base. The purified water is only 3 tons at most per day. There are at least tens of thousands of people in a base. How can it be distributed?
Therefore, water-type mutants are also in great demand and are recruited into various powerful teams.
Their team also has a water-based mutant, who is as precious as a space-based mutant. He hides in the center of the team every time they go on a mission, and he is much cleaner and tidier than others, which makes her very envious.
There is also water for sale in the base. A 500ml bottle of water can contain as much as one first-level crystal core.
Those who can't afford drinking water can only drink water with a low pollution index. Once the pollution level in their bodies slowly exceeds the critical point, they will automatically turn into zombies. But there's nothing they can do about it; they can only live one day at a time...
I didn't expect the water here to be so cheap...
Feng Bei took another glass of water, lowered his eyes, and his mind was full of thoughts.
"Guest, would you like to stay here tonight?"
"Ah?!" Feng Bei, who was concentrating intently, jumped in surprise, her heart beating rapidly, thinking that she had discovered her inner thoughts. "Keke, sure, how much is it?"
Xia Yan tapped his fingers on the table and said nonchalantly, "20 points a night, stay?"
Idiot, did you think I couldn't see the guilty look on your face?
Thinking of the prompt just given by the system, Xia Yan smiled slightly. Come on, bring more strong people, she wants to become rich.
