Chapter 31 Cream Cake
Li Zhou recalled seeing a quote online before: "When you find one cockroach in your house, there may already be thousands of them."
This sentence suddenly popped into her head when she saw the little cockroach.
She immediately began to check the car. Apart from the cockroach that had already been swatted, there were no other cockroaches in the car.
But Li Zhou dared not relax at all. When she opened the supply box in the back seat of the car, the box was crawling with cockroaches, and a few even jumped onto her hand.
She immediately shook him off, wishing she could throw her hand away too.
She's always been clean, so how could there be cockroaches in her car?
She quickly realized what it was—it must be the food and water she had bought! And that's exactly what happened; the cockroaches had crawled out of that box!
She was both anxious and angry at the time, and impulsively went to the chat area to question "Mengmeng".
Now it's clear that she herself didn't read the nickname "Mengmeng" carefully.
Should we blame "Mengmeng" for selling things that might have been crawled on by cockroaches?
But she knew that "Mengmeng" might just be something she wanted to sell to people who needed it.
She only has herself to blame; she was blinded by a momentary advantage.
For Mengmeng, this was an unexpected disaster.
Thinking it over, Li Zhou typed an apology to "Mengmeng" again. Before he could finish typing the apology, "Mengmeng" sent a message first.
Mengmeng: "I have a bottle of insect repellent spray here. I don't know if it will work on cockroaches. You can take it and use it to clean up the car first."
Then, a transaction request was sent over.
Li Zhou felt even more embarrassed.
She wanted to refuse, but the thought of the car full of cockroaches made it impossible for her to say no.
Three seconds later, she accepted the deal.
She was in the wrong in the first place, but "Mengmeng" was so kind as to give her insect repellent spray, she couldn't just accept it for nothing.
But I had no other supplies left, and most of the food in the box was contaminated by cockroaches.
She felt embarrassed to give the contaminated food to "Mengmeng".
Her gaze fell on the only remaining cream cake.
This was a 6-inch cream cake that she originally planned to eat herself today, so she didn't put it in the box, which is how it "escaped disaster".
There was a cockroach crawling on the outer packaging box, but she quickly swept it off.
Moreover, there was another layer of packaging inside, so the cream cake was still clean.
Li Zhou directly traded the item to "Meng Meng".
Li Zhou: "Mengmeng, thank you for giving me the insect repellent spray. I was in the wrong to begin with, but you still helped me despite the past. I'm very touched. This cream cake is still clean, you can have it."
Meng Qingyin was still wondering how to ask for the cream cake in exchange for the "century egg and lean pork congee" when she didn't expect that she would offer to give it to her herself?
Mengmeng: "Then I won't stand on ceremony. You just said that your food and water were ruined by cockroaches. How about this, I'll give you two compressed biscuits and a bottle of water in exchange for your cream cake."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "...Thank you, and I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
After posting that message, Li Zhou quickly went to the chat area to clarify the matter.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "I misunderstood Mengmeng, I'm so sorry! Also, Mengmeng, you're a good person!"
After sending that message, she quickly went to clean up the cockroaches in the car.
Those food items and boxes are definitely not usable; they've all been chewed by cockroaches, and who knows if there are any insect eggs on them.
After removing the items, she sprayed the inside and outside of the car several times with insect repellent before stopping.
...
Having received the cream cake, Meng Qingyin was now simply waiting for the traveling merchant to arrive.
It was already 5 p.m., and she planned to rest after finishing her meal.
I glanced at the food storage box and saw that it contained quite a few ready-made meals: sesame seed cakes, fried rice with eggs, steamed buns, red bean buns, sweet corn, and roast chicken.
Meng Qingyin took a serving of egg fried rice, tore open the packaging, poured it into the pan to heat it up, and then picked up her chopsticks to eat.
After finishing her meal, she ate the sweet corn. She hadn't eaten vegetables and fruits for several days and was really worried about getting constipated.
Let's use this ear of sweet corn as a temporary solution.
However, if you don't eat fruits and vegetables for a long time, you'll eventually have health problems.
But she never got any fruits or vegetables out of the supply crates.
She only picked some chicken heart fruit on the first day, and then she never saw it again.
I don't know if traveling merchants sell fruits and vegetables.
All he wants is the Night Demon's Heart. How much can one Night Demon's Heart buy from him?
Meng Qingyin ate while thinking, and quickly finished the corn.
It wasn't dark yet, so she quickly set up the tent, then went to the sandy area by the roadside to relieve herself before returning to the tent.
Meng Qingyin unwrapped the blanket; it was made of coral fleece, and it felt very soft and warm.
After covering herself with a blanket, Meng Qingyin opened the chat area.
It was still early, and she wasn't sleepy at all.
The Deaf Heir: "It's so cold! Why is it so cold after sunset? The temperature difference between day and night is too great. It's so hot during the day and so cold at night."
The cat is the cutest: "Yeah, especially since my vehicle is an electric car, there's nowhere to shelter from the wind, it's so cold! And I can hear monsters in the dark staring at me, it's so scary."
Little Lamb Runs Fast: "I'm a little better off, I have a windproof coat, but I'm still cold."
Men should be strong: "Who among you dares to go and see the monster in the darkness? Is it really as powerful as the system says? Or is the system just lying to us?"
I'm an unlucky person: "It's better not to. Listen to advice and don't risk going out to try it."
Linlin: "I've had enough of this lousy game! There's no food in the supply crates, it's freezing cold at night, and there are these terrifying monsters! I've had enough! I'm going out to see what's going on with those monsters right now!"
I'm speechless: "The person upstairs is too brave, but is it really necessary to joke with their own life?"
Linlin: "Family, wait for me. I'm going out to scout things out. If I succeed, it means we were all lying. If I fail, it's okay too. It'll be a relief for me."
I am the Lucky One (Fake): "The avatar of the guy upstairs is grayed out. Everyone should stay away from going out and take risks. Just stay within three meters of your vehicle."
Seeing this, Meng Qingyin closed the chat area.
Night Demon will not attack players within three meters of a vehicle.
Is this rule... set in stone?
