Chapter 411: So Sour
Xia Yan pinned the little bee on his collar to amplify the sound.
She patted the publicity team's arm and said, "Just let me out."
The team leader turned around with a puzzled look on his face.
Is it possible? The general specifically instructed us to protect Boss Xia's personal safety.
Although, he felt that she might not need...
"It's okay, let me go out." Xia Yan comforted.
The teammates looked at the captain, and after receiving the signal, they moved their feet and secretly protected her side.
The survivors waited eagerly until the young woman appeared before them, talking and laughing. Their anxieties were completely dispelled.
She looks so young, with no trace of suffering on her fair and clean face, and even her cheeks have a healthy pink hue.
Whatever she said, they would follow it without thinking!
The surroundings were silent, with only suppressed breathing rising and falling. Pairs of gray eyes stared intently, and blood gushed out, sending excitement and anticipation throughout the body.
Xia Yan took out a long table and a billboard from the system grid, and placed the appraiser and card machine on it. Then she took out a leather boss chair, ignored everyone's surprised looks, sat comfortably, and supported herself on the table with her hands pointing upwards.
"Now please listen carefully, if you want to eat you must first get a card.
If you have a crystal core, please stand on my left. If you don’t have a crystal core, gold and silver jewelry can also be used.
The standards for exchanging crystal cores for points are all on this sign. Please understand them clearly before queuing up to apply for a card."
As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly became agitated. Some were bending over to feel the insoles of their shoes to extract the crystal cores, while others were touching their necks to take off their necklaces, holding them in their palms and rushing forward.
They may not understand what is going on yet, but they are willing to try anything to make a living.
The crystal core under her nose exuded a sour smell. She held her breath, tilted her head, and said with her lips slightly parted:
“Just put it in the machine.”
"Where to put it? Here?"
The hand holding the crystal core was randomly striking out. The publicity team couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at the entrance of the crystal core.
The tiny crystal core slid in.
"And then? Where's my meal? I need to eat! You said we could eat once we were done! Did you lie to me?"
The first customer who applied for a card spread out his hands, sweat beads all over his forehead, and his huge eyes rolled around in fear.
He was not afraid of the crystal core being swallowed, but his hope of eating being shattered again. The doubled despair would crush a person alive.
He was too excited.
Xia Yan stood up, grabbed his wrist, stretched it out in front of him, and shouted, "Don't worry, I'll tell you how to do it."
Except for the person who applied for the card, no one else can see the specific contents of the card, but this does not include Xia Yan, after all, she is the boss.
"This is the main interface. There's a takeout option below. Click it. Yes, scroll down. Do you see it? You can order all the food there as long as you have points on your card!"
As the fingers slid, the customer's eyes widened to the limit, his heart pounded against his chest, and his nostrils flared to take in a large amount of oxygen.
He shouted excitedly, "It's food! Lots of food! Help me order!"
His fingers were shaking so badly that he looked like he was about to cry.
This is the most genuine reaction of a person who is extremely hungry.
Xia Yan grabbed his fingers and asked, "Rice or noodles?"
"Rice! This is it!"
"Egg fried rice? Or tomato and egg lunch?"
"All - lunch, lunch!"
"Okay, I've placed the order."
Xia Yan helped him close the interface and sat down again.
The customer's mind was full of the picture of the lunch box he had just seen. He could no longer remember the taste of the meal, but his unbearable hunger told him that he could eat even two big steamed buns in big mouthfuls!
"Rice--" Just as he was about to ask where the food was, the space in front of him suddenly broke open, and a lunch box wrapped in a big bubble fell from the sky.
"Something's coming!"
“It’s food!”
The crowd around suddenly burst into exclamations and stood on tiptoe to see what was in the lunch box.
I was already itching to try it when I heard them choosing their meals, and now it’s even difficult for me to breathe!
The customer reached out to catch it, the bubble exploded and disappeared, and an opening animation played in the air. He didn't have time to watch it and couldn't wait to lift the lid. The rich aroma of rice filled his nose.
The brightly colored soup thickened with starch is filled with stir-fried pink tomatoes and large slices of browned eggs, almost overflowing the bowl.
This is a freshly made meal! Not made from scraps!
He couldn't bear it any longer, and without even taking apart his chopsticks, he used his hands to frantically stuff the food into his mouth, chewed it roughly twice, and swallowed it with his neck stiff. He stared at the people around him with his eyes like a wolf, silently warning everyone fiercely not to steal his food, or he would fight him to the death!
What he didn't know was that the moment Hefan appeared, a protective shield appeared on his side that no one could pass through.
Otherwise, how could he possibly eat safely?
The eyes of the people around him were no more ferocious than his. They were all hungry wolves, glowing green.
Xia Yan tapped the table to attract everyone's attention, "Are you still applying for a card?"
"manage!"
After seeing with their own eyes that they could actually eat, everyone's willpower was strengthened to the point where they could easily support their exhausted bodies.
Xia Yan handed the card-issuing machine over to the publicity team and focused all her energy on the universal appraiser.
"It weighs ten grams and can be exchanged for two thousand points. Do you want to exchange it?"
"Change!"
"What do you want to exchange for it? A silver safety lock? It won't be worth many points."
"I'll exchange it for anything as long as I can have food to eat!"
Xia Yan put the accessories into the system grid and happily transferred the corresponding points to the customer's account in the background.
When the customers are happy, she is happy too.
On the city wall, the worried base commander stuck his head out to look around.
"Don't let these people kill them. I just received a shipment of goods—huh? They actually got a meal?!"
The patrol officers who had been watching the show for a long time were amazed and excited: "Base Commander, you don't know, this woman is so sharp that she can make a living."
Listening to his subordinates' admiring praise, the base commander smiled wryly, "She's certainly very capable, but as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. If she really wanted to rescue the survivors, she shouldn't have put in such high demands. Expending crystal cores on food isn't exactly a great act!"
Patrolman: ...So sour.
The base commander's eyes fell on the group of "bare commanders" on the periphery who had nothing. He felt relieved and pointed at them.
"Look at that group of people. They don't meet the requirements and can't even eat. It's so sad."
Actually disrupting his army's morale? How abominable.
He will only be convinced if you have the ability to get rid of all the people!
But that's impossible. This person has already made it clear that she is a businessman. She won't do anything without profit. This group of people will be a burden wherever they go, and no one is willing to take them in.
The patrol team looked at him, then at the lively scene below, moved their lips, and refrained from continuing to speak.
