Chapter 12: Small Flashlight Consider
Before going to bed, Shannai lay in bed and took a look at the system background, and determined the next stage of upgrade tasks.
Complete points and ten random tasks.
"There are quite a lot of tasks..." The little hand kept swiping the task bar on the screen interface.
[The host can choose the task he likes to receive. ]
"Sold 10 small flashlights, 0\/10"
"Registered members reached 100, (7/100)"
"The dining area can accommodate 50 customers (6/50)"
"Hidden Mission: Supermarket Promotion, Completed."
"Hidden Mission: Grand Opening Promotion, Completed."
Customer satisfaction 60/1000
“…”
"Haha, promoting the supermarket is a hidden task. The system is really amazing. I love you." Shannai closed the interface, smiled sweetly, and pulled the ice silk air-conditioning quilt with her little hands.
[These tasks are randomly issued by the supermarket and cannot be controlled by the system.]
"Okay, got it. Good night, system." She would give priority to tasks with time limits.
[Good evening.] The system silently turned off the cat lamp for her.
…
[Host, host, get up, there's a customer outside the door! ]
It was a new day, and Shannai was not woken up by the alarm clock, but by the system.
Shannai opened her eyes reluctantly, glanced at the alarm clock on the table, and muttered with a pout, "Doesn't our supermarket open at nine o'clock? It's only half past eight..."
After saying that, she buried her little face in the soft pillow again.
[But the customer has been waiting for over an hour, and the temperature is already over 40 degrees Celsius.]
The door opens at nine, but you're not up by eight-thirty. People will lose their patience and leave in a little while, and you'll lose your points, you lazy little cat!
However, the system did not say the following words, it still dotes on its host very much.
Shannai thought her system was so kind and considerate of the customers outside the door, which made her feel embarrassed. She had to roll over and rub her cat ears.
"I'm doing this for points!" After saying that, she started to quickly get dressed and wash up.
The system didn't respond and just smiled faintly.
Same same.
To save trouble, Shannai tied her hair into two ponytails. This hairstyle suited her well with the two cat ears.
Fortunately, her furry cat ears are not big, but small and soft, looking like decorations and not out of place at all.
"Hey, when can I transform into my true form? The little orange cat is great too..."
Shanna looked at the cat-eared girl in a light yellow dress in the mirror and recalled the days when she could switch bodies freely.
I really want to lick my own fur.
I miss my paws so much.
I really want to play with my tail.
[Host, don't be impatient. You might even be able to turn into a kitten as the supermarket upgrades.]
"You're peeping at me again." Shannai gave the system a blank look in his heart.
She looked through the "Boss's Special Kitchen" in the system background, randomly ordered a "Jianbing Guozi with Soy Milk" from the three breakfast options, and went to the serving counter to bring it out.
After taking a bite of the hot pancake, he calmly went to open the supermarket door.
"Open the door, open the door!"
"I told you to open after nine, why did you have to come so early?"
"What are we going to do if we're too late and out of supplies, idiot!"
Two young men who looked exactly the same were squatting in front of the warning sign at the entrance of the supermarket, blaming each other.
"Good morning, beautiful boss." Xu Nuo waved to Shanna enthusiastically.
This young boss, wow, she's so young and pretty. If she were in the past, wouldn't she be a huge star in the entertainment industry? She's undoubtedly the national sister.
Her facial features are incredibly delicate, she wears a beautiful little skirt, and she has kitten ears on her head, so adorable.
Xu Yan beside him was staring at the pancake in Shannai's hand, drooling, "Brother, I want to eat pancake too..." As he said that, he stretched out a dirty big hand.
"Eat your face!" Xu Nuo frowned and slapped his brother's hand hard.
The day before yesterday, when we passed by the city entrance, we saw the big advertisement of Lucky Supermarket. At that time, the two brothers were skeptical and did not come over immediately.
But in the past two days, in order to find supplies, we had to hide from zombies and rummage through the entire city.
But in those abandoned supermarket and store buildings, there was nothing left except a few mutated big rats.
The big rat was as big as a rabbit and almost bit Xu Nuo.
I really had nothing to eat, so I thought of Lucky Supermarket. So I came here early in the morning to try my luck.
"Sorry, boss, my brother is a fool." Xu Nuo laughed and said deliberately.
Xu Yan glared at him unhappily, and felt that his behavior just now was too embarrassing. He looked at Shannai in shame.
"That's quite pitiful. Come in." Shannai took another bite of the fragrant pancake and looked at Xu Yan's head with sympathy.
Xu Yan was speechless and secretly pinched his brother's lower back. He was already in his twenties, but still so childish.
The two pushed each other into the supermarket, feeling the instant cool temperature and looking at the neatly arranged rows of goods and supplies, the two brothers instantly quieted down.
"Incredible..." Xu Nuo looked at Shan Nai with admiration on his face, "Boss is really amazing!"
He suppressed his surprise and curiosity in his heart, as he could clearly see the warning sign erected in front of the door.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the boss was no ordinary person. His purpose was to buy supplies, and the rest had nothing to do with him and his two brothers.
"It's just so-so. Please take a look here." Shannai pointed to the shopping instructions.
The twin brothers are very young, and the elder brother is quite perceptive. Unlike the previous customers, he asked questions all over the place. It seems that the warning sign at the door worked.
After Xu Yan read it carefully, he took out all the brothers' belongings from his backpack.
"Brother, we only have these few crystal cores left. Can this gold bracelet jewelry be used? It says rare metals on it."
"Well, put it on." Xu Nuo nodded slightly.
He doesn't have any special powers, but he used to be a fitness coach and has good physical functions. His younger brother is a fire-type special power user, so the two brothers can survive in the apocalypse.
Shannai looked at the crystal cores and gold and silver ornaments on the redemption tray, and the cat ears on his head trembled with joy. "Customer, it's best for you two to top up your account separately. The cards are all real-name cards and cannot be used interchangeably."
"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, boss." Xu Nuo divided the things into two parts, one for each person.
The first-level crystal cores, gold and silver bracelets, and jade necklaces were divided into two waves and placed on top.
Xu Nuo successfully exchanged 550 points, and Xu Yan exchanged 620 points.
What a rich man! Shannai smiled faintly, supporting her chin.
The two brothers put away the cat membership card and pushed the shopping cart into the shelves to start shopping.
Xu Yan was in charge of filling the refrigerator with water, milk, and fruit and vegetable juice. He excitedly opened the door of the refrigerator and burst into tears when he saw the bottles and jars in front of him with cold air and water droplets emitting from them.
"This... this, can you believe it! There's milk at this time! Fruit and vegetable juice... ah..."
"Great, bro. Look, I have some fruit here! Bread! Braised eggs! Wet wipes... give me some too, you can wipe yourself!"
Xu Nuo's eyes were shining brightly and his mouth never stopped talking, but his hands also never stopped moving. He quickly stuffed every item into the shopping cart.
Shannai suddenly remembered the task of selling 10 small flashlights, jumped down from the cash register stool, and walked towards Xu Nuo with a smile.
"Customer, we have a small flashlight here. It's dark outside at night. Can you give me a small flashlight? It's waterproof and fireproof, small and sturdy!"
Shannai took a small black palm-sized flashlight and introduced it to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo saw the price tag of 30 points, which was not expensive. Compared with other exchange options, all the goods in this supermarket were very cheap.
But how much battery can a flashlight hold? It’s gone in a few days. They’ve been traversing this dark for years, so a small flashlight wouldn’t hurt, right?
"The battery will run out soon..." Xu Nuo scratched his head and spoke in a low voice.
Shannai quickly waved her hands. "No, these are super energy-saving batteries specially made by the supermarket. They are guaranteed to last for 360 hours! And I sell batteries here. They are not expensive, 5 points a set."
360 hours? Half a month?
This... is too exaggerated. How can such a small flashlight battery be so powerful...
Xu Nuo had deep doubts in his heart.
