Chapter 278 We must not let the base down no matter what.
Meng Shiwan was engrossed in playing a game inside the RV when there was a loud banging on the door.
She manipulated the grapevines on the car roof to open the window next to the cabinet and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Yuan moved closer to the car window and saw Meng Shiwan nestled on the sofa, playing a farming game with a controller.
There were also many desserts and fruits on the table next to it.
He was a little surprised.
Jiang Yuan never dared to imagine that the person who was ruthless and taciturn to outsiders, and who had been praised to the skies online these past two days, had such a childlike side.
The game I'm playing is... Stardew Valley?
"Sister, we've finished building the house next to the base. A lot of people are coming to buy things. We need some space cards for the staff to use to store supplies. We also need a lot of ability enhancement fluid. There are a lot of people outside clamoring to buy ability enhancement fluid."
"Wait a mininute."
Meng Shiwan nestled on the sofa, too lazy to move, and asked the system in her mind, "How many crystal cores do I have left?"
The system quickly reported the number: "Two hundred and forty-three thousand two hundred and seventy-one."
These crystal cores were leftovers from when Wu Ming asked her to buy something last time.
Previously, most of the crystal cores they obtained came from purchasing items from the seed base, which were delivered by Wu Ming, and secondly from killing zombies outside.
However, from then on, the base became open source, and crystal cores from various bases across the country would automatically and continuously flow in, so they no longer had to live a frugal life.
Meng Shiwan said, "Ten space cards, each expanding the space by 10,000 cubic meters. In addition, purchase 1,000 vials of ability-enhancing liquid and place them in one of the cards."
This whole process consumed 200,000 crystal cores.
The system fawned over the client as if it were a major customer, saying, "Okay, we'll arrange it right away."
After it was all set up, it thoughtfully placed the ten cards on the cabinet.
Meng Shiwan said to Jiang Yuan, who was waiting outside, "Take it."
As for how to arrange it, that's a matter for those leaders to handle; Meng Shiwan isn't going to worry about that now.
She suddenly realized that the space card's ability to allow others to use the space was really useful.
Without this spatial card, she would have to do everything herself to retrieve the supplies stored in the space.
There's no need for that now. Just give the space cards to your subordinates and let them do whatever they want with them.
She only needs to check from time to time how well the power-enhancing liquid in the cards is selling, and replenish it when it's almost sold out.
Then she can check how many more crystal cores are in the space card; if she needs them, she can take them directly.
It couldn't be more convenient.
"Okay, sis, I'll get back to work now."
Jiang Yuan picked up a stack of space cards from the cabinet, unfolded his wings, and flew away in a flash.
On the other side, Ye Conglei had also arranged the staff for the sales building.
"Zhang Qiang, you are in charge of selling the ability enhancement fluid. Record every single transaction clearly in a spreadsheet, including how many vials of fluid were sold, how many crystal cores should be purchased, and which base bought how many vials."
Wei Ye, you are in charge of selling premium fruits and vegetables.
Liu Fang, you are in charge of selling first-grade fruits and vegetables.
...
Yu Baitao, you are in charge of the overall management of all transactions in and out of the sales building. Every single item that leaves the building, and every single crystal core and material that enters, must be meticulously recorded.
Ye Conglei is indeed very meticulous in her management.
Most of the people who went to work in the sales building were the same ten or so people who were with Zhang Qiang.
Ye Conglei heard that these people knew the base leader in the early days of the apocalypse, and that the base leader had helped them many times.
He was utterly loyal to the base commander, so naturally he was placed in such an important position.
Yu Baitao, who was in charge of the overall entry and exit statistics of the sales building, was An Jiewen's wife.
She used to work in an office, and when she heard that the sales office was hiring, she applied.
Anjawen is a member of the Dawn Squad, and they all signed a life-or-death agreement with the base leader, so it's impossible for him to betray them.
This job is also a good fit for her.
Of course, Ye Conglei wouldn't completely believe that their administrative department would re-examine the various expense bills.
Through each step of the process, she managed the entire base's finances in an orderly manner.
Zhang Qiang patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job."
Zhang Qiang, a disabled man missing an arm and an ear, has finally found a job that suits him and is determined to do it well.
Although working in a sales building requires dealing with outsiders and the job is a bit dangerous, the pay is high.
Living within the base, buying food, drinks, clothes, and renting a place is no problem at all. Apart from being a bit dangerous, it's a fairly easy and well-paid job.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan returned to the castle with the spatial card and handed it to Ye Conglei.
Ye Conglei then distributed the cards one by one, saying, "Zhang Qiang, this card of yours is for storing the ability-enhancing fluid and the crystal cores obtained from selling the ability-enhancing fluid. Your job is very important; income and expenses must be kept in separate accounts."
Wei Ye, this card of yours is specifically for storing premium fruits and vegetables…
Power-enhancing fluid, premium fruits and vegetables, first-grade fruits and vegetables, second-grade fruits and vegetables, third-grade fruits and vegetables, crystal cores and resources obtained from selling fruits and vegetables, and cards specifically used to measure quantities.
A total of seven cards are needed.
They were distributed to the seven people.
The remaining three cards can be kept for now and used when needed in other parts of the base.
The seven staff members were extremely excited after receiving the cards.
"It's a space card! We can use space cards too. So how are we different from space ability users?"
"That's so cool! I can use the space cards all the time while I'm working. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"I will definitely do this job well."
Zhang Qiang secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let down the base or the base commander.
The base chief took him in, allowing him to live a life that others envied, and he also acquired a space card and was doing important work.
No matter what happens, he will not allow anyone to harm the interests of the base.
Tao Yarong took out her special card for storing vegetables and released the large quantity of crops stored inside, categorized by grade, and stored them into the space cards of the respective responsible persons.
Finally, Ye Conglei took out a car key—a hybrid multi-purpose van—and handed it to Wei Ye.
"Your workplace is quite far away, so this car is allocated to you for commuting. You can apply for fuel every month."
Wei Ye quickly took it, "Okay."
He felt a mix of emotions, both bittersweet and excited.
Back on the very first day of the apocalypse, he was hiding in his outdoor gear store when the base leader knocked on his door.
He slowly opened the door and saw Meng Shiwan standing in front of it, saying that she wanted the supplies inside, and in return, she would give him some advice on surviving the apocalypse.
Later, Meng Shiwan took away a lot of winter clothes and some raincoats and other tools, and also swept up a lot of money for him.
At that time, he did not know that the disaster would be so serious. The money that Meng Shiwan gave him would soon be useless, which meant that the supplies were given away for nothing.
However, Meng Shiwan's advice was very helpful, which made him cautiously stick with Zhang Qiang and his group in the supermarket, and he survived.
Unexpectedly, the advice Meng Shiwan gave him back then is no longer needed.
Because Meng Shiwan provided a safe haven, he could live safely and freely under that shelter.
They lived under Meng Shiwan's protective wing.
