Chapter 1 Binding the Supermarket System
"Meowha~ The tribulation was successfully overcome!"
Shannai closed his eyes with excitement, and the furry cat ears on his head trembled slightly.
Sudden!
boom-
Click——
Dozens of thunderbolts as thick as buckets struck down without warning, all hitting a fat orange boy in mid-air, his body shining with golden light.
Shannai, died.
…
[Ding~]
[A soul-compatible host has been detected.]
[Host, please bind to this system as soon as possible before it is reduced to ashes! ]
Shannai was struck by lightning and not even a hair of the cat was left.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard this strange sound in the darkness, and the only remaining trace of consciousness seemed a little confused and at a loss.
"Is someone talking? What good is binding?"
[Can be resurrected! Ten, nine, eight, seven, ...]
A cold mechanical electronic sound lingered in the darkness.
"Bind...Bind."
Resurrection was too tempting for Shannai. He had cultivated so hard to the point of ascension, but before he could enjoy even a single day of happiness, it was gone. He must have felt very unwilling.
[Ding, the Doomsday Supermarket system is binding.]
[Progress 10%-30%-60%...]
【Binding successful! 】
With the sound of prompts, the nothingness in front of Shannai's eyes was no longer replaced by darkness. The terrifying dizziness felt like a time and space jump.
It took a long time.
Finally calming down, Shannai slowly opened his eyes, and the scene that came into view was strange yet familiar.
Shannai is a spirit cat that practices in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests of the 21st century.
The main body is an orange cat.
Since I started practicing, I have been honest and diligent, practicing the righteous path in the human world and accumulating a lot of merit.
But on the day she attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
Struck by thunder!
She still remembered that after the incident, Xiao Tianlei was so anxious that he cried and kept apologizing, saying that he had drunk some peach blossom wine before going out and did not see who it was before striking.
Driving drunk? It's all your responsibility, okay?
What bad luck.
It's a pity that she has such fair skin, beautiful long legs and stunning face.
But what is the situation now?
She was familiar with this house; it was the small house she had built in the mountains.
However, the interior furnishings have changed a lot and are still very shabby.
A hall of less than 50 square meters, with a central air conditioner overhead, gray walls and yellowed floor tiles.
There are two rows of empty shelves on the left, two broken tables near the window on the right, a food delivery port opposite the tables, and a cash register and water dispenser in the corner next to the main door.
This layout clearly looks like a shop.
Oh yes, I just bound it to some system!
[Welcome host to enter the Doomsday Supermarket and unlock a new task: come up with a new name for the supermarket.]
Shannai bit her fingertips and seemed to think for a moment, "Lucky Supermarket!"
[The mission is completed, and the initial points are 100. ]
"Huh? Why did your voice change?"
The system's voice has changed from the initial electronic sound to the current baby voice, but it's impossible to tell whether it's a man or a woman.
[I am Supermarket System No. 1105. In order to be closer to the host's life, I have specially replaced the cute voice pack.]
Shanna nodded, got up from the ground, walked to the window and looked at the scene outside.
The supermarket is located in City A of Xia Country in the apocalypse. It has been more than three years since the apocalypse, and the names of many places have changed.
This used to be the most prosperous commercial street, but now it seems that the entire city is deserted.
All I could see were abandoned buildings and devastating scenes.
The streets were littered with scrapped cars and zombies wandering around aimlessly with their heads tilted.
There were broken limbs and pieces of flesh everywhere, the blood had already turned black and dried, and the strange-shaped trees were sharp and thorny.
The hot air was filled with a rotten and foul smell...
"Bang!" Shannai slammed the window shut.
"It really is the end of the world... But when I ascended, Blue Planet was still fine."
Shannai was puzzled.
In the past, in addition to practicing, she would also go down the mountain to play, and she had read several doomsday novels and movies, but this scene was even more terrifying than in the movies.
If she hadn't fought many monsters before, she would have fainted from fright at the sight of this scene.
[This is three years after the end of the Blue Planet. Other systems are unclear. Please quickly understand this world and prepare to begin your mission.]
Then, the system transmitted some data and images to Shannai's mind.
Three years ago, the end of the world suddenly struck. Glaciers and snow-capped mountains around the world suddenly melted, and earthquakes, tsunamis, rainstorms, mountain torrents, extreme cold and extreme heat took turns to occur.
The huge natural disaster caused countless casualties among humans.
As the glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic melted, an unknown virus quietly emerged. Most of the infected people turned into zombies, and animals and plants mutated.
And a very small number of people have developed superpowers.
Water and land are polluted, power and internet are cut off, resources are scarce, and less than 30% of the world's 8 billion people are still alive...
"This is more terrifying than being struck by lightning... So is our supermarket safe? I haven't cultivated yet..." Shannai cares a lot about the issue of safety.
[Host, please rest assured. The supermarket is absolutely safe. You have your own protective shield. Your mission is to earn money to upgrade the supermarket to the highest level. Don't worry about anything else.]
"Okay! That's great. Lie down. I'm so tired after thousands of years of hard training." Shannai exhaled and raised his eyebrows.
She tried, but there was no spiritual energy here, so it was impossible to practice. She would be a Buddhist cat for the rest of her life.
I just don't know if her cultivation level will be restored after upgrading the supermarket.
[Host, please complete the task: tidy up and clean the supermarket. ]
"good."
She can do the tasks to upgrade the shop, right? She can do it! How wonderful it is to be alive.
Shannai looked around again.
Although the layout has changed, at least it is the house she once lived in, and it is still very familiar.
She ran to the bathroom, took out a small basin, filled it half with water, and found a rag, intending to clean up.
It's so dirty, as if no one has lived here for hundreds of years.
"The water outside is polluted and there's no electricity, but we still have water and electricity here! System, what kind of organization are you? That's amazing."
Shannai looked at the clean water and suddenly felt that the background of this system was very powerful.
Even she, a little cat cultivating immortality, exclaimed that it was wonderful.
[The system comes from a more advanced technological dimension.]
Shannai nodded without asking any more questions, picked up the basin of water, and cleaned the entire store.
In addition to the lobby, the supermarket also has a single bedroom and warehouse in the small corridor at the back.
The bedroom furnishings are also simple, with a single bed, a small desk and a chair.
Opposite is the bathroom and kitchen.
"Ah!" A scream came from the bathroom.
Just now!
After pouring out the dirty water, Shannai also wiped the mirror on the sink, but when she looked up and saw the figure in the mirror, she was startled.
"My body...has become smaller!"
To be honest, she only just realized that her height and hands had become much smaller.
The girl in the mirror looked soft and tender, with a fair oval face, big eyes with double eyelids, a small and elegant upturned nose, pink lips, and a height of 1.55 meters. Fortunately, her body proportions were very good.
This girl is clearly the image of herself when she just transformed. Converted into human age, she is only about fourteen or fifteen years old.
[It's like this. The host's body has been reduced to ash. This body is the best the system can do for the host. Therefore, the system's energy has been depleted. Otherwise, the supermarket wouldn't be so miserable at the beginning.]
The system quickly came out and explained patiently.
"Oh, okay...fine...thank you." Shanna thanked him in his heart.
"The peaches are gone... and they've been replaced with kumquats, wuwuwu..."
Life is not easy, the cat sighed.
Shanna pursed her lips and touched her flat chest.
Although it was still her, now that she had lost her cultivation, it was almost impossible for her to return to her previous form, and she felt somewhat complicated.
[But this makes her look younger. Host, just make do with it. It's very cute!] It was clear that the system was genuinely praising her.
Shannai was in tears.
But it didn't help.
She could only turn her grief into strength, tied her long hair into a bun, rolled up her sleeves and continued to work.
