Chapter 12, Lesson 12
It's rare to find a modern world.
Even with dark clouds looming over the city and strong winds blowing, Yu Yanyan remained in a good mood.
The elevator was renovated in a village within the city, a dirty and chaotic place where the buildings looked like they hadn't been fully developed even a decade or so ago.
Moreover, it seems that players have been here before, and some places look like they have been demolished.
Shen Xingzhi and Yu Yanyan each carried an iron sword. Shen Xingzhi walked in front, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, always on guard.
Yu Yanyan followed closely behind, looked up at the sky, and wondered if it would suddenly rain or snow.
"Are you looking for supplies or going out?" Shen Xingzhi asked.
"Hmm, let's walk a little further and see if there's a small shop."
Yu Yanyan looked into the distance and said, "The villages inside the city aren't very big, so we should be able to get out soon. We can go out and see the surrounding area. Let's hurry up."
Shen Xingzhi responded and quickened his pace, so Yu Yanyan could only jog to keep up.
She glared at Shen Xingzhi's long legs with resentment, filled with envy and jealousy.
Shen Xingzhi turned to look at Yu Yanyan, who was running, and said, "There's a small shop ahead. If no one's there, you can collect supplies first. I'll go out and scout ahead."
Yu Yanyan nodded, and the two searched the convenience store. Shen Xingzhi left only after confirming that no one was around.
Yu Yanyan took out her old friend, an extra-large wooden crate, and began loading the goods.
The shop had been ransacked; many items were missing from the shelves, and the floor was littered with miscellaneous items, indicating that the player was in a great hurry.
However, there are still many left, including various snacks, cigarettes in the glass cabinet, and alcohol in the cabinet behind.
Previously, players likely received fast food such as instant noodles, sausages, canned goods, and biscuits.
On the other side, there were piles of rice, flour, oil, eggs, several crates of apples with slightly wilted skin, and bananas whose skins were all turning black. All of them were moved away.
Many of the vegetables were spoiled; the rotten and moldy smell was awful, and Yu Yanyan's nose was completely blocked, blocking her sense of smell.
Of course, some potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, and radishes are still in good condition and can be stored for a long time.
Yu Yanyan had only pretended for a short while when Shen Xingzhi suddenly returned.
"Someone's coming."
Shen Xingzhi was worried about leaving Yu Yanyan alone, so he rushed back ahead of time.
Yu Yanyan paused, then quickly took out a large box and handed it to Shen Xingzhi, saying, "Pack the rice and flour in there first!"
NPCs also come with six inventory slots.
Shen Xingzhi got to work without saying a word, and Yu Yanyan also quickened her pace.
Shen Xingzhi, whose ears had been perked up, suddenly put away the half-filled box of rice and flour. "They're here!"
Yu Yanyan had a sudden thought and put away the wooden box as well. She took out two ordinary wooden boxes and handed one of them to Shen Xingzhi, who was walking over.
The two had only packed a few things inside when someone came in through the door.
Yu Yanyan looked over and saw a young man.
When Chen Pengfei saw Yu Yanyan and Shen Xingzhi, he was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He was so excited that he ran over immediately.
"Family!"
Shen Xingzhi stood in front of Yu Yanyan, completely shielding her.
"Calm down." Shen Xingzhi stared at Chen Pengfei.
Chen Pengfei was startled by Shen Xingzhi's cold expression and sharp eyes. He keenly sensed Shen Xingzhi's danger, stopped, and took a step back.
"No, don't be nervous. I was just too excited to see my compatriots. I didn't mean any harm!" Chen Pengfei raised his hands to show his innocence.
Yu Yanyan peeked out from behind Shen Xingzhi, glanced at the boy with clear yet somewhat foolish eyes, and asked, "Are you a college student?"
"How did you know! Is that true too?" Chen Pengfei's eyes sparkled as he looked at Yu Yanyan, who was grinning happily.
"I'm from L City University of Political Science and Law! What about you?"
Yu Yanyan has a very youthful face, not at all like someone who graduated a few years ago; it wouldn't be wrong to call her a college student.
They could even dress up and pretend to be high school students.
After all... he's relatively short.
"I've graduated, I'm not a college student anymore." Yu Yanyan smiled at Chen Pengfei and waved for him to hurry up and move his things.
"Don't waste time, there are still some supplies here, hurry up and move them."
Chen Pengfei nodded vigorously, his fondness for Yu Yanyan rising rapidly.
"You guys are so kind. I'm always afraid of running into those domineering and unreasonable people. I'm so lucky to have met you."
Chen Pengfei took out a wooden box made from the production table and started filling it with things.
The wooden box wasn't big; it was filled with a 50-pound bag of rice and flour.
After packing two boxes, Chen Pengfei looked up at Shen Xingzhi and Yu Yanyan for a glance and asked, "Um... how many can I take?"
Shen Xingzhi's temperament is too exaggerated; he is tall and strong, with a powerful aura.
Dressed in a dark green combat uniform, he looked like a mercenary or gang leader from a movie; you could tell at a glance that he wasn't an ordinary person.
Chen Pengfei couldn't tell if he had killed anyone, but the cold and ruthless look in his eyes just now chilled him to the bone.
Even though Yu Yanyan was easy to talk to and allowed him to take the supplies, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
They were afraid that if they took too much, they would be beaten up or killed.
Chen Pengfei, who was imagining the scene, shuddered and looked weakly at Yu Yanyan and the other person.
Seeing his cowardly and pitiful appearance, Yu Yanyan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, "Take as much as you can, take as much as you can."
She already has plenty of rice and flour in her warehouse, so food is not a problem for her. There's no need for her to be stingy and prevent others from living.
Upon hearing this, Chen Pengfei grinned like a puppy that had just eaten a bone. After thanking him, he took out a few more wooden crates and began taking out other supplies.
The three of them were moving things in harmony when Shen Xingzhi suddenly looked up at the door and said, "Someone else is here."
As Chen Pengfei entered through the door, he looked up in confusion. Before he could even see who it was, he was shoved hard and fell to the ground.
The box of snacks he had just packed was directly put into the backpack by that person.
"Hey, I'm lucky! There's a small shop here, and someone even helped me pack my things."
Li Yanxi raised his chin, swung his long whip, and lashed it in front of Chen Pengfei, smashing another empty wooden box.
"This shop is mine now, you can all get out."
Chen Pengfei was furious; he took his supplies and even smashed his empty boxes!
Even an empty box needs to be made of wood!
Chen Pengfei wanted to resist, but he was a casual player, and in a fit of anger, he stood up and only dared to glare at Li Yanxi.
"What are you looking at? Don't you want your eyes anymore? If you don't get out of here, I'll whip you!" Li Yanxi said, and lashed out with the whip again.
The end of the whip swept past Chen Pengfei's nose, just centimeters away. The loud crack of the whip startled Chen Pengfei, who stumbled back a few steps and almost fell over.
"Look at you, you coward! You dare to glare at me!" Li Yanxi laughed loudly, making Chen Pengfei's blood boil and his face turn red.
Chen Pengfei couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned around, ran to Shen Xingzhi, and handed him a box of blue tissues.
"These are the blue tissues I made. Don't be fooled by their small size; they can hold a thousand sheets!"
The paper is of particularly high quality, doesn't shed lint, and has four layers per sheet, making it absorbent enough to be used as disposable face towels and dishcloths.
Chen Pengfei looked at Shen Xingzhi expectantly and asked, "Here, can you help me get the supplies back?"
It was full of instant noodles and sausages, dried noodles with pickled vegetables, and filling snacks; there wasn't much on the shelf.
Chen Pengfei looked at Shen Xingzhi with tearful eyes and expectant gaze.
Li Yanxi then noticed that there were still people in the shop. He initially chuckled dismissively, but his smile stiffened when he saw Shen Xingzhi's physique.
Upon looking at each other again, the smile on Li Yanxi's face vanished completely.
Shen Xingzhi turned to look at Yu Yanyan, then looked down at her: "Master?"
Chen Pengfei and Li Yanxi were both stunned. What kind of title is "master"?
Such a powerful figure is actually working under a young girl?
ah?
Chen Pengfei thought Shen Xingzhi was Yu Yanyan's brother, never expecting that the two would be master and servant.
"This tissue is good." As soon as Yu Yanyan finished speaking, Shen Xingzhi reached out and took the tissue.
"You're a casual gamer, right? What's your profession? Just papermaking?" Yu Yanyan completely ignored Li Yanxi and looked at Chen Pengfei with curiosity.
"Um, my profession is, I am a paper maker."
"I can make all kinds of paper, but right now, the only useful and best-selling one is toilet paper." Chen Pengfei scratched his head.
Chen Pengfei was a little embarrassed, but he still wanted to seize the opportunity to get closer to Yu Yanyan.
“I can also make sanitary napkins. They need pulp in their ingredients, so I can also…” Chen Pengfei’s ears turned redder and his voice became softer as he spoke.
He glanced at Yu Yanyan with great embarrassment and said, "I think all of you girls probably need this. Although I haven't collected all the materials yet, I'm sure I can do it in the future!"
Hey miss, can I get your contact information and we can be friends?
Chen Pengfei looked at Yu Yanyan with longing eyes, his desire to curry favor evident on his face.
Yu Yanyan did not refuse, "Okay, I'll add you."
Chen Pengfei beamed: "Okay, okay, my name is Chen Pengfei, you can add me on WeChat!"
A friend's notification arrived, and after seeing the name, Chen Pengfei choked on his own saliva and began coughing violently.
Yu, Yu Yanyan!
Is that Yu Yanyan?
Chen Pengfei was dumbfounded, overjoyed, coughing wildly, and bursting into tears.
Good heavens!
I must have been incredibly lucky to have met Yu Yanyan!
After recovering a little, Chen Pengfei no longer cared about his completely ruined image; his mind was filled with the joy of having "found a powerful patron."
Li Yanxi felt something was wrong. How did adding this little brat as a friend turn into this?
The situation was not good, and Li Yanxi decisively chose to follow his heart.
Li Yanxi took out a box of snacks she had just stolen, and put two larger empty boxes in front of him. She put her arm around Chen Pengfei's shoulder and smiled very gently.
"Brother, oh dear, I'm so sorry, I just embezzled some money, and the higher-ups have gotten really arrogant. I'm so sorry!"
Li Yanxi reached out and slapped his cheeks quite hard, making a loud slapping sound.
"Forgive me, brother, please forgive me!"
Chen Pengfei: "..."
Chen Pengfei was stunned, never expecting him to be so flexible and adaptable.
This plot isn't right!
Shouldn't you be acting like you've lost your mind, looking down on everyone, including the big shots, and then getting slapped in the face?
So the statement in the novel that "it is purely fictional and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental" is true.
In reality, those who have been through the ups and downs of society are all seasoned veterans and shrewd individuals. Many of them are very good at judging people. Those who are mindless are a minority; most people are normal.
Chen Pengfei looked at Li Yanxi with admiration, thinking that if things went wrong, he would decisively slide to his knees; he had learned this move.
