The single-story height of the community area building is also very high. When standing on the ground and looking up, you can only see a few horizontal and vertical main bars that serve as supports.
Cai Lu raised his hand to lift the brim of his cloak and looked at the ceiling. Shi Rukui said that there would be a surveillance camera on the ceiling of each floor, which would show the situation of the entire floor at a glance.
She squinted her eyes and looked for a long time, but didn't find anything strange.
Forget it. Lu Cai lowered her arms and disappeared into her blood-red cloak. With every step she took, the hem of her cloak brushed the ground, and the folds of the fabric swayed, reflecting tiny, scattered glints of light, as if the cloak were studded with tiny diamonds.
She didn't understand and was shocked.
How could such a sexy cape be "safer"?
No matter where she goes, the bright colors and eye-catching clothes make her a sitting duck.
But she was poor, so she had no right to be picky.
She wrinkled her nose and sniffed. She was now in the 4F food area, where the aroma of food wafted everywhere. Lu Cai clutched her stomach. She was truly hungry and wondered if she could get anything to eat by begging here.
Because there is no concept of day and night in the community, the lights are on 365 days a year, and players can only judge whether to rest or work based on their own sensory habits.
She walked along a pedestrian walkway and saw many closed shops, but the passage still had a lot of customers.
The shops that were open were also diverse. There were Chinese fast food, hamburgers and fries, barbecue hot pot, and sushi...
She even saw a butcher and vegetable shop in the innermost store on the floor, and she had no idea how they managed to have such a large supply of ingredients.
——They have their own ways, and the management won’t interfere, so when there’s a food safety issue, the customers will either swallow it themselves or find someone to beat up the other person.
These are Shi Rukui's original words: if players fight, it doesn't matter if they kill each other.
"The fried rice here is really generous." Two players passed by her.
"But it doesn't taste very good..." said the companion.
The person who spoke first laughed: "The taste is so-so, but not terrible. Being full is the most important thing. Good food is only found in high-end restaurants. Such a small piece is not enough to replenish the lost energy..."
The two walked away chattering.
Cai Lu shifted her gaze to the store they had just walked out of. It was a home-style stir-fry restaurant with stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, fried noodles, and fried rice cakes. Just looking at the store made her drool.
After a moment of hesitation, she made up her mind to replicate the system's points wallet function. Otherwise, she would starve to death before being killed by the KB game management...
"Ms. Yue?" A tentative call came from behind him. Lu Cai was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head. He neither answered nor left.
The person behind him approached and smiled softly: "It seems that the effect is good. Miss Yue promised me that she would treat me to a meal when the cloak was repaired-"
The voice sounded familiar. Lu Cai turned slightly to look at the young man standing beside her. He had fair skin and an upright figure, and his face, in particular, looked very familiar.
She frowned. How did she meet him?
This young man was the owner of the prop repair shop where Lu Cai settled when he first entered the community, and he claimed to be Cheng Mushen's brother.
The boy is 80.90% similar to Cheng Mushen. If he is not lying, he is the older brother, but he still looks like a high school boy. It seems that this older brother also has a tragic fate.
Last time he said that he and Cheng Mushen had broken off all ties, his expression was quite resolute and sincere, so Lu Cai believed him for the time being.
Jiang Yan looked at the thin girl who was half a head shorter than him and smiled: "The props are working well now. When will you fulfill the promised treat?"
Lu Cai swallowed his saliva and said, "No money."
Jiang Yan's eyebrows curved: "Then I'll treat you to a meal. How about that restaurant?" He raised his hand and pointed, and it happened to be the home-cooked dish that Lu Cai had just stared at.
Lu Cai tilted her head, alert in her heart. How long had this repair shop owner been watching her?
"Okay." But her physical hunger had overcome her reason.
Moreover, since he came up to talk to me, it meant he wanted something.
You can first explore this person's purpose.
Cai Lu followed him and opened his friend list, finding "Yue Xiaoyan".
She discovered that the signal was more stable in the community area. Lu Cai decided to study the signal structure in the community area when he had time. If he could build his own signal network, he wouldn't have to worry about the dog game losing signal.
[Lu Cai: Do you know a shop owner who repairs tools? He's about eighteen or nineteen, clean-cut, and his shop is called 'No. 12'.]
Yue Xiaoyan replied quickly.
[Yue Xiaoyan: Jiang Yan? What? Did you meet him?]
[Yue Xiaoyan: I bought a lot of props from him. Although his shop sells second-hand goods, the props he repairs are better than those found elsewhere.]
His name is Jiang Yan? The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it.
[Lu Cai: He mistook me for you, and said you promised to treat him to a meal if the cloak turned out well.]
[Yue Xiaoyan: Impossible! I wouldn't agree to treat you to a meal! He's just dreaming!]
Lu Cai could feel Yue Xiaoyan's irritability through the chat box, and he couldn't help but smile. After all, Yue Xiaoyan cared about her points the most, and he was flattered that she could give this cloak prop to Lu Cai.
[Lu Cai: Okay, I understand.]
Cai Lu closed the chat box. Was Jiang Yan coming for her?
The two entered the store. Cai Lu took a look at the price list on the wall, and finally his eyes fell on the take-out box column at the end of the menu.
"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Yan looked at her with a smile.
Cai Lu glanced at him calmly. "I want... ten servings of beef fried rice. One to eat now, and nine to take away. In plastic containers, they cost ten points each."
Yue Xiaoyan had explained to her that in the community, one point was roughly equivalent to one dollar in the real world. Although beef fried rice was the most expensive of all the stir-fries, it only cost twenty points, which was quite reasonable.
Including the nine take-out boxes, he lost a total of 290 points.
Anyway, she read the instructions on the take-out box and found that the take-out box that cost ten points had the best preservation effect and could keep food fresh for at least seventy-two hours, which is three days, and three meals a day would be nine meals.
She won't waste food.
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows. It wasn't that he was reluctant to give up his points, but this girl was too rude, not even offering a word of courtesy. Then he thought, the players here all fought their way out of the dungeon world, and most of them were shameless.
Tsk, I was careless!
Jiang Yan ordered himself a bowl of ordinary fried noodles, paid the points at the cashier window, and sat down at a table in the corner with Lu Cai.
"After going to the dungeon, I feel a lot calmer..." Jiang Yan smiled.
Lu Cai shook his head: "I've suffered too much and been hungry for a long time. I don't have the energy to speak——"
"Is it so miserable this time?" Jiang Yan was a little surprised and looked like he was cooperating with Lu Cai's performance.
Thinking that there were still ten servings of fried rice left to go, Cai Lu didn't expose him, but he didn't know what he was planning...
At this time, a reminder popped up in the chat box, it was a message from Qin Yu.
In fact, Lu Cai wanted to go find Qin Yu, but then she thought about the unclear situation in the community, so she decided to wait and see what happened.
She didn't expect Qin Yu to contact her on his own initiative.
[Qin Yu: After our last chat was interrupted, I heard there was a scavenger catching someone in the 3rd floor mission area, but the person got away. Was it you?]
[Lu Cai: Yes, I was in a hurry to escape and rushed into the dungeon. They seemed to be restricted by the dungeon, so they didn't pursue us relentlessly.]
[Qin Yu: Where are you now?]
[Qin Yu: If you trust me, come to my house. I plan to do a dungeon the next day or the day after tomorrow. You can come with me.]
The waiter brought two plates of fried rice and fried noodles. Because these two were to be eaten immediately, they were served first while the other nine portions of fried rice were still being prepared.
Lu Cai stretched out his right hand, then remembered the bandage on his arm. After hesitating for a moment, he still stretched out his hand.
After she took her chopsticks and took a bite of her meal, she saw Qin Yu's new message.
[Qin Yu: I forgot to tell you last time. Zhao Yan and I left the dungeon. Besides the multiplier rewards for the memory fragments, our points doubled. We suspect it's you.]
Lu Cai smiled, and Qin Yu thought she was concerned. To reassure Lu Cai, she directly said that she was looking for her cooperation for the points.
[Lu Cai: I'm eating. I'll come over after dinner. Can you give me your address?]
[Qinyu: 10F, Building 30, East District.]
After finishing the meal, Lu Cai breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
Finally had a hot meal in peace.
"How is it?" Jiang Yan looked at her relaxed shoulders with a gentle look.
The packed beef fried rice was also delivered. Because the quantity was large, the boss also gave a small portable lunch bag, which was about the size of a mobile phone and could be carried in the hand without any hindrance.
After inspecting the packed fried rice, Cai Lu looked up with a smile, "Boss Jiang is very generous, but Yue Xiaoyan said she didn't owe you any food. I think Boss Jiang must have made a mistake."
Jiang Yan was stunned and looked up at the girl, only to see her handing him a roll of bandage.
During the meal, Jiang Yan mentioned the protective gear the most. The only thing on her body that could be considered a protective gear was this bandage.
Lu Cai also deliberately exposed the bandage, and as expected, Jiang Yan's eyes were almost glued to her right arm.
Thinking of his identity, Lu Cai roughly understood that it was his occupational disease that was acting up.
"What's this?" Jiang Yan smiled and took the bandage honestly.
Cai Lu patted the small lunch bag beside him and said, "As a reward."
Jiang Yan opened his eyes wide: "You gave it to me?"
Lu Cai stared at him, amused. After laughing enough, he glanced at him coldly: "Are you dreaming?"
Jiang Yan......
Just now in the hallway, he saw her lifting the brim of her hat, and there seemed to be a protective prop on her right arm. Her protective prop was different from the hoodie charm on Yue Xiaoyan, but the cloak was too powerful for him to see clearly.
I went up to chat with her out of curiosity. Who in the prop business would refuse new props they have never seen before?
"Take a look at it first. It's interest." Cai Lu picked up the small lunch bag and said, "I have to play a dungeon tomorrow. When I get back and have some free time, I'll bring the bandages to your shop so you can study them—"
"Okay!" Jiang Yan looked at the bandage, becoming more and more focused. "How about adding me as a friend?"
Jiang Yan reluctantly returned the bandage to Lu Cai, and watched as Lu Cai applied the bandage to his arm, and the bandage wrapped itself around his arm.
He narrowed his eyes. To be honest, the bandaged arm looked quite familiar.
Cai Lu picked up his lunch bag and left the restaurant like an old man going shopping.
......
While waiting for the elevator in the elevator hall, Lu Cai raised his right arm. The bandage seemed to look even better.
Yes, it looks good.
The rough edges were smoothed out, and even the surface of the bandage became refined. The awkward appearance of the bandage, once haphazardly wrapped around Lu Cai's arm, seemed to have become a dark part of its past.
Wouldn't it have been upgraded too?
The author has something to say:
Lu Cai was shocked: "Someone gave me 200 yuan to repair my props? Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution between 2021-11-28 23:54:28 and 2021-11-29 21:11:30~"
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 4 bottles of Mi Miao;
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
