Chapter 75 Nightmare Community
The pink electric scooter drove towards the commercial street in the cold morning wind.
【The order assistant is serving you! 】
【Order number: 1209080231-90】
[Business address: No. 143, Meiyun Road, Jinchun Healthy Breakfast Shop (in Meimeng Community)]
[Customer information: Unit 2, Building 66, Meimeng Community, 0403, Mr. Chu, Tel: 17...]
【Delivery time: before 09:00:00】
【Please do not exceed the time limit! 】
[Estimated profit of this order: 9.32]
The first order that came in the morning was a takeaway order from the breakfast shop.
It looks very ordinary, just like the first order last night, without any difficulty.
When Xu Zhiyan rode his bike to the commercial street, his phone vibrated continuously with two more orders.
Looking at the time, they are all breakfast orders.
But there was one order that puzzled him.
His first order was from Mr. Chu from Building 66. Of the remaining two orders, one was for a normal scallion pancake, and the other was in Mr. Chu's name.
Nutritious fast food and... crayfish?
"Does anyone eat crayfish early in the morning?" Xu Zhiyan had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask.
Forget it, it will be more convenient for him to deliver both orders together.
Because the breakfast shop was the farthest away, he first picked up the crayfish and put it in the takeout box on the back seat of the car, then picked up another order, and finally rushed to the breakfast shop.
The owner of the breakfast shop is a thin woman.
There were quite a few customers in the restaurant, and she was busy serving the food prepared in advance to the diners.
Seeing Xu Zhiyan coming in his delivery man's uniform, she quickly took out a bag from under the counter.
"Is the young man here? He has already packed it. Please be careful on the way to deliver it so that it doesn't spill. Remember to ask him to give a good review."
Judging from the tone, the boss and the diner know each other.
Xu Zhiyan nodded and took the heavy breakfast.
Instead of leaving rashly, he checked as usual to see if the contents matched the order.
The other servings of crayfish and pancakes were both normal portions, but this nutritious breakfast was obviously much heavier.
But as soon as he opened the bag, the boss, who had been smiling just now, fell in love.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Zhiyan didn't expect the boss to react so strongly, and hurried to explain.
"I just want to check whether the order and the content match."
If the system hadn't prompted him that there might be something strange mixed in with the food, he wouldn't have checked.
After hearing the explanation, the boss's expression improved a little, and he couldn't help muttering.
"This is the breakfast I made for my son. He has to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination recently, and I am too busy to make it at home, so I ordered takeout and asked you to help deliver it."
So that's how it is. Xu Zhiyan listened while checking the things in the bag.
Normal human food indeed.
The portion is quite large.
He put away the bag, stopped talking nonsense, and rode his electric scooter to the customer's house.
With the experience of last night, he rode his electric bike much better. At least he could ride in a straight line instead of the crooked S-curve.
There were three orders in total, and since the hand-pulled pancake lady's order was closer, he delivered the hand-pulled pancake lady's order first.
Until he completed the order and heard the commission was credited to his account, no new rewards popped up on the system panel.
“Don’t you reward the correct time when delivering food?”
Xu Zhiyan walked towards the electric car and called up the game panel to ask.
[Work can get the right time, but a lot of orders must be completed. ]
[Players are also requested to explore the community as soon as possible to find more tasks and get the correct time. 】
The gaming system is unrelenting.
Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips. This meant that the delivery jobs he got didn’t allow him to always be on the right time?
He inexplicably thought of the black blood vessels and strange monsters he saw last night.
As there was no delay and the distance was not far, Xu Zhiyan arrived at Building 66 quickly.
After parking his electric bike downstairs, he carried crayfish and a healthy breakfast into the building and found the elevator.
I don’t know if it’s because all the office workers have already gone to work, but there are still very few people in the community.
Although it was daytime, there was no light in the corridor and it seemed a little eerie.
"bite--"
The elevator came down.
Xu Zhiyan walked in carrying his things and deftly pressed the button marked 4.
Soon, we arrived at the fourth floor.
Building 66 is different from Building 167. Although there is a corridor outside the elevator, the corridor is much narrower and there are several more households in the middle.
After finding 0403, Xu Zhiyan pressed the doorbell and shouted inside.
"Hello sir, your takeaway has arrived."
No one answered.
He had no choice but to knock on the door and yell, "Hello! The takeaway is here!"
Just when he was about to take out his cell phone to make a call, the customer's voice finally came from door 0403.
“Here I come…”
The voice was low and hoarse, not quite human.
The moment the door opened, Xu Zhiyan took a step back.
However, after seeing the situation inside the door clearly, he put a smile on his face again and handed over the takeaway in his hand respectfully.
"I wish you a pleasant meal, please remember to give a good review~"
Inside the door was a young man who was about twenty years old. His hair was messy and he looked like he had just crawled out of bed. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had just stayed up all night.
The young man took the takeaway and glanced at the delivery guy at the door with a disdainful expression.
Xu Zhiyan watched him casually throw the delicious breakfast into the trash can.
"Sir..." He subconsciously wanted to speak.
"Bang--"
The door is closed.
Xu Zhiyan was locked outside the door.
The cyclone from the closing door blew up some dust on the ground.
Xu Zhiyan touched his nose and said nothing.
It’s not his takeaway. The other party can do whatever they want with it. Why should he care?
He went downstairs, got on his electric bike and returned to Meiyun Road Commercial Street.
The next hour made Xu Zhiyan deeply aware of the uncertainty of delivering takeout.
For a whole hour, there was not a single order.
The previous three orders did not trigger the correct time given by the system.
His current correct time can only last until half past eleven, which means that if he doesn't find some tasks, he might be finished.
The deviation in expected work rewards made Xu Zhiyan feel uncomfortable.
The commercial street is not very busy during the day. After all, it is inside the residential area and is crowded with local residents.
Xu Zhiyan was sitting on a chair by the roadside and saw several players running around in the community from afar.
It looks like everyone is having a hard time.
Fortunately, a few minutes later, Xu Zhiyan received a new order and system task reminder.
The order was still from a healthy breakfast shop, although what was ordered looked like a mix of brunch and lunch.
[Congratulations to the player for receiving the fourth order today! ]
[For every five takeaway orders successfully delivered, you will get the correct time (1.5h)]
[Tip: For orders placed after midnight, each order will receive a correct time bonus (3 hours) and there is a chance of receiving a double bonus order]
“…”
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan was stunned.
In other words, if he delivers 10 orders during the day, it is not as good as delivering one order at night? Or even double the amount?
Even though he knew that delivering orders at night would most likely be twice as difficult, the huge profit difference still made him eager to try.
If I had known I would not sleep last night, I would have gone out to deliver food!
But now the time has passed, and Xu Zhiyan has to get through the day.
Thinking that he had to deliver 45 orders without triggering other tasks to get the correct time of 13.5 hours, he also had to ensure that there were no mistakes...
Xu Zhiyan’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
Feeling the urgency, he ignored everything else and jogged towards the breakfast shop like the other players.
The boss saw him coming, took out a packaged takeaway and asked, "You're here again. Did you see my son when you were delivering the takeaway just now? Did he study late again? Oh, I forgot to tell you to tell him to drink more water."
As she spoke, she turned back to prepare food for other diners.
Xu Zhiyan did not answer. How could he know whether Mr. Chu studied until late or played until late.
After checking the food, just as he was about to leave, the boss finished his work and stopped him again.
"Did he say he liked the breakfast I prepared today? He always said before that my cooking was not tasty..."
The woman seemed distressed.
Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and finally said nothing.
If the boss knew that his own son threw all the food he had carefully prepared into the trash can, he would definitely be sad.
"I'll leave after I drop you off. You can ask when you get back."
After saying that, Xu Zhiyan disappeared in a flash.
With the previous experience, the fourth order was delivered quickly.
Xu Zhiyan hid in the rest area of the community, looking at the pink electric scooter, feeling a little worried.
Take-out orders are time-sensitive, and if they exceed the time limit, they will be considered failed. If he concentrates on finding tasks now, then if an order comes in during the process, he will easily lose the stable 1.5 hours of time income.
And he wasn't sure if there would be any penalties if the order failed.
Don't work hard for three hours and then fail in one order and be back to the old days.
It’s almost noon, so the takeout orders should increase.
Should I choose an unstable task or wait for stable orders?
Just when Xu Zhiyan was hesitating, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. This time it was not an order, but a message.
[Bai Jin: Will you come back for lunch? What time will you be back? ]
Xu Zhiyan stared at the text message for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
He observed that he was the only delivery man in the entire community, which meant that he was responsible for all the orders in the entire area.
Since the person at 1402 has a mobile phone, does it mean that he can also place an order?
[Xu Zhiyan: Mr. Bai, I am still busy. After all, Xiaohua is getting older and has a lot of expenses... So, if I receive an order near my home, I will go back to eat. ]
Click Send.
Afraid that the other party might not understand, he edited another one.
【Xu Zhiyan: But I think it should be OK. There are many things in the snack street here, and everyone should like them.】
Xu Zhiyan touched his chin. Although this Slice was a pervert, he still had some brains. He should be able to understand the hint, right?
Bai Jin did not reply to the message.
The next second, orders started popping up on Xu Zhiyan's phone.
[Order assistant is at your service...]
【……】
[Customer information: Room 1402, Unit 1, Building 167, Meimeng Community, Mr. Bai...]
【Delivery time: before 11:00:00】
…
【Delivery time: before 11:20:00】
…
【Delivery time: before 11:40:00】
The comments on the comment section were almost dying of laughter at the bug that Xu Zhiyan found.
【Hahahaha unlock a new way to deliver orders! 】
Is this the life of rich people?
[That perverted painter bought only roasted sweet potatoes, which made me laugh to death. 】
[Why is it a baked sweet potato? Is it because Xiao Baiwan gave him a baked sweet potato yesterday? ]
[Exploiting loopholes depends on Xiao Baiwan (thumbs-up)]
Looking at the orders that came in all at once, Xu Zhiyan rubbed his hands and rushed to the stall selling roasted sweet potatoes on his electric scooter.
Not bad, this Bai Jin is quite sensible.
