He relied on his body's instinct to dodge Yan Ping's attack, and the dissatisfaction and grievances that had been pent up in his heart for a long time were vented at this moment.
"Old man, if you don't like me, just say it directly. Why waste so much energy and even use your supernatural powers to kill me? I have known that you have been dissatisfied with me for a long time. I..."
Yan Yue was getting emotional, but before he could finish his next sentence, he was interrupted by Yan Ping.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just doing an experiment. Let me see for myself!" Yan Ping looked at his son who had suddenly gone crazy. His face was expressionless as always, and the tip of the knife in his hand was still against the table.
Yan Yue was so emotional that his eyes were red. He looked at the table and asked, "What's the problem here?"
"I used so much strength just now, but the table didn't get damaged at all. Isn't that strange?" Yan Ping looked at him seriously.
"But I told you this before, when we were in the lobby downstairs, Shi Yan used his lightning powers to attract lightning without making a sound. Isn't it the boss's ability that the furniture inside isn't damaged?"
He had already mentioned this matter when he went back for the first time. Wasn’t he clear enough before?
Yan Ping retracted his supernatural power. "There's something wrong with this villa. Even though there's enough food and complete living facilities here, the base is our roots. Let's go back to the base after we finish shopping."
Yan Yue was a little confused. Is that it?
He watched Yan Ping's back as he returned to his room, and for the first time, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He had not listened carefully to what he had said before, and now he was being subjected to an experiment on the villa under the pretext of doing so, and was using his supernatural powers without even worrying about whether it would hurt him.
Now he left without even a word of apology. In his heart, did he really care about me, his son? Was he just a guide this time?
Yan Yue held the unfinished lunch box, his eyes still red, and stood there with mixed feelings.
When Yan Ping launched the attack, the system popped up a reminder, but it only lasted for a moment. Shi Jiu didn't pay attention to it. It was probably Yan Yue's side or the newcomer.
Thinking about the outside world, it is time to consider the population outside, and the villa is about to be upgraded again.
After a large number of people came last time, more people came in the following days. Today is the 22nd day since the store opened. The experience value in the upper left corner has increased to (23560/25000). After the upgrade, it will increase according to the number of guests staying in the hotel.
There are still more than a thousand people needed for the upgrade. If some people from the nearby Anhe base could come over, then the upgrade would be no problem. However, seeing Yan Yue's expression last night, it might not be that easy to get them.
There are basically no survivors of the Anhe Base in the villa. Either the leader of the base is doing a good job and the people inside don't want to come out, or it's the style of the previous Ping'an Base, brainwashing and exploitation, and forcing people to stay in the base.
When Shi Jiu was thinking about how to find more people to stay, Yan Yue came over with a piece of paper, with a stern face and a bit of numbness in his expression.
There was no trace of the polite and charming man with a warm smile before.
There must be something wrong.
Shi Jiu perked up. Yan Yue came forward and slapped the paper on the table. "Boss, help me count the materials on it and calculate how many crystal cores there are."
After saying that, he just sat aside, closed his eyes and rested, looking like he refused to chat.
Shi Jiu took the order and exclaimed, "Wow! Big deal!"
She immediately waved to Wang Yue and asked her to take the list and lead people to clean up.
"There's a lot of stuff here, Mr. Yan. The previous long-term activity has been dismantled, and the current space equipment has been upgraded, but it costs money to buy it. Do you need it?"
Since the hotel was upgraded to a villa, this long-term task has also been upgraded. When you buy 5,000 crystal cores, you will receive a space ring that is 5 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 5 meters high. This space is much more magnificent than the previous one, so it cannot be simply given away.
It’s just right, you can never have too many crystal cores, so I can make some money from them.
Yan Yue raised his eyes and glanced at her. "How much?"
"This time it's not a space bracelet, it's a space ring. It's 125 cubic meters and costs 2,000 crystal cores. How about it? For such a large area, this price is very affordable."
Shi Jiu did not ask for too much, as they were old customers.
Even though Yan Yue was disappointed with Yan Ping, he didn't want to joke with the lives of so many people in the base. "Can the items I just reported be put in here?"
Shi Jiu calculated what could be packed into 125 cubic meters and said, "Basically, no problem." Most of what they wanted were clothes, followed by some packaged items. As for poultry, livestock, and seeds, everyone had a limited quota, so they wouldn't exceed the limit.
The spaces produced by the system can hold living things and have a preservation function, so they are very useful.
"Then take one." Yan Yue waved his hand weakly. He was very upset now. He originally wanted to just come and stay here and not think about the base anymore. Now that this happened, he should have more reason not to go back.
But when he thought about Yan Ping's attitude towards him, which was very different from his attitude towards that adopted brother, he felt uneasy and uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.
Shi Jiu called several employees to clean up these things, "Mr. Yan, are you still going to bind this ring later?"
Space-related items need to be bound before they can be used, so they are usually packed up in the warehouse and then the buyer is asked to put them into the space by himself, and check whether the approximate quantity matches.
"Well, it's still me." The amount of goods they purchased was as high as nearly 80,000 crystal cores. They ordered 50 down jackets and 50 cotton coats each, which cost 20,000 crystal cores. Then they ordered 500 thermal underwear and cotton pants each, which cost 30,000 crystal cores. Finally, they ordered 100 quilts, which also cost 20,000 crystal cores.
Apart from the clothes, the other odds and ends only add up to a few thousand crystal cores, less than ten thousand.
The sudden arrival of winter has made Shi Jiu's wallet bulge, and there is nothing to worry about as long as there is supply.
Shi Jiu looked at the large orders above. It seemed that the winter would last for a while, so it would be better to stock up on cotton and other things. Who knows, there might be more large orders later.
That’s really a lot of zombies killed, Shi Jiu sighed.
"Mr. Yan, are these clothes enough for you to take back to the base?" Although the amount seems large, it is only less than a thousand pieces of clothing, which is not enough to be divided.
Sure enough, Yan Yue shook his head. "There are tens of thousands of people in the base, so these are not enough. They won't be given out for free when they return. They will still have to spend crystal cores to buy them. At most, they can only buy one item each. The base still has clothes left over, so I guess they can get through this winter."
He thought that since winter had come in the base, no one had frozen to death yet, so they must have been prepared.
Soon, the people below prepared everything Yan Yue needed and put it in the warehouse. Although Shi Jiu could also put everything in the warehouse in one go, there are more people in the villa now, and there are also many employees, so it would be better to handle it step by step.
"Mr. Yan, let's go, everything is ready." Shi Jiu took him into the warehouse behind him. Yan Yue had been there once before, so he was obviously familiar with it. But while he was putting things into the ring, he suddenly had an idea.
Why should he avoid this matter? It's not like he can't live without the fatherly love that he has never felt before. The last time he saw Yan Qing, they must be doing something and not letting him know. Do they really not want him to know or are they just pretending?
He remembered that Yan Qing often took people out for three to five days, and thought he was going out to find supplies. He was so diligent just to let the old man see him. The base really had never worried about supplies.
After all, before the apocalypse, Yan Qing spent his days hanging out in bars. He wasn't like that guy. At least he was a good student and capable at work. At most, he was just a little too diligent in changing girlfriends...
Speaking of his girlfriend, he glanced at Shi Jiu secretly. He had wanted to hook up with the boss at first, but the boss didn't even look at him. Later, he found that his charm seemed to have plummeted to the bottom, and he never succeeded in chatting up girls again.
Well, I was thinking too far ahead. Now that I think about it, Yan Qing is really a suspicious person.
While thinking this, he quickly put away the things in the warehouse. When he left the warehouse, Qin Lou came over and was about to report what happened to the new guest.
When Yan Yue saw Qin Lou, who was more handsome and cooler than him, he looked back and forth between the two of them with some suspicion. Could it be because he is more handsome than me?
He looked at the employees next to him and saw that they all looked good. He touched his face and thought, no wonder he was not competitive.
No, how can I lose in this regard? Yan Yue interrupted what Qin Lou was about to say and said to Shi Jiu, "Boss, are you still hiring?"
Shi Jiu was a little surprised when he heard his words, "Mr. Yan, don't you live in Anhe Base? Why do you want to be our employee?"
Qin Lou was interrupted and didn't say anything else, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Yue was not friendly at all. Just as Yan Yue was about to speak, he saw Qin Lou's cold eyes, and his originally fluent words became a little stuck.
"Well... I just want to improve myself. Besides, there's nothing for me to do in the base right now." Yan Yue hesitated for a moment, but still said it honestly. In fact, he might not be able to do anything if he went back.
He has no real power, and he only has a few subordinates. Things in the base don't have to go through him. It doesn't matter whether he goes back or not. It's better for him to find a job in the villa. His previous idea was to live a life of luxury here with a large amount of crystal cores.
But there was a practical problem: what if the crystal cores ran out? He couldn't wait until he had no other options to think about this. If they refused to help him, he would go back to base and find other solutions.
Shi Jiu was about to refuse him. There was no shortage of employees in the villa now. Even if there was a need, there was no need to find someone with such an obvious identity.
But Qin Lou next to him spoke first, "Boss, it seems that we need to recruit more people in our recent plan."
Shi Jiu looked at Qin Lou. Planning? Seeing his gaze fixed on Yan Yue and the people from the Anhe base who had gathered not far away, he immediately understood what Qin Lou was planning to do.
The author has something to say:
The previous space bracelet setting should have a height, but I found that it was not marked before, so I defaulted to one meter and will modify it when revising the text later.
Don't worry about them getting high rewards for doing nothing. The first few tasks are relatively high, and the rest are daily tasks. There are plenty of job opportunities later (keep a note in your notebook)
