Chapter 378 Extravagance!
They spread the news quite quickly; about half an hour later, several girls got off the car.
They were quite surprised when they saw the sign at the door. "Boss, have you raised your prices? I heard they weren't this expensive."
Meng Shiwan said without batting an eye, "Oh, we had a grand opening promotion earlier, but the promotion is over now, and the prices have returned to normal."
A girl asked, "Is the original price 10,000 crystal cores for a bouquet of flowers?"
Meng Shiwan looked up at her. "Yes."
Another girl spoke up, "Oh, it doesn't matter anymore. Just have the guards we keep kill more zombies. There's so much of this stuff out there, it's inexhaustible. Boss, do you have any more? We'd like to buy a bunch each."
Meng Shiwan raised an eyebrow. "Yes, of course, we have as many as you want."
She sighed inwardly again, "How extravagant!"
Back then, she had to put in a lot of effort to get ten thousand crystal cores, but now she's just a bunch of flowers in these people's hands.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. These people don't need to kill zombies themselves. They just need to give instructions, and their own guards will risk their lives to bring the crystal core down.
As for the guards, they didn't care about life or death. If someone died, they would just recruit another batch. Anyway, there were plenty of people coming to the Zeus base.
For the members of the guard team, receiving a generous reward meant they had to risk their lives for their master.
It seems that everyone is quite satisfied with this system.
Meng Shiwan took out several more bouquets of flowers from her space for them to choose from. The girls also picked out some fruits and vegetables. When the crystal cores were delivered and the bill was settled, these girls alone had spent 100,000 crystal cores.
Meng Shiwan was astonished; the benefits far exceeded her expectations.
After seeing these people off, the news of opening a new fruit and vegetable store quickly spread throughout the base.
The store has beautiful flowers and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to choose from. As long as you have crystal cores, you can buy as many as you want.
This completely changed the previous situation where they wanted to eat fresh food but had to buy it in limited quantities as there was no market for it.
Upon hearing this, wealthy people either came to buy the goods themselves or sent their servants to do so, and long queues quickly formed in front of Meng Shiwan's shop.
Meng Shiwan could no longer play Tetris and kept packing up and restocking, collecting crystal cores.
Fortunately, the system helps with the accounting, so it's quite efficient.
I thought that a bouquet of flowers with 9,999 crystal cores wouldn't sell very well, but it actually sold quite well.
In these people's hands, crystal cores seem to be as worthless as stones, and they spend them without the slightest heartache.
Tao Yarong, inside the Dawn Base, watched as the bouquets and packaged fruits and vegetables she had just placed into her card space were quickly taken out. She felt a little flustered and shouted to everyone, "Hurry up, hurry up! We need to harvest the flowers before planting more to ensure a supply."
She didn't know what Meng Shiwan was doing, but she knew that Meng Shiwan must need these things right now.
But it doesn't matter, with Dawn Base there, we have the strongest support.
Meanwhile, the Zeus base was also busy.
Inside the Zephyr base, people were scrambling to buy things.
On the ground of the Zeus base, the guards who were originally stationed in place and only needed to observe the dangers around them suddenly received various orders to quickly kill zombies and send the crystal cores back to the ground.
The members of the guard team were all bewildered; why were they going to kill zombies?
When they heard that the wealthy people living down below needed crystal cores to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, the guards went to work, grumbling and cursing.
"That's enough! They want us to risk our lives against zombies just for a bite to eat?"
"Do they even know how cold it is up there, or how tough the zombies are? They just ask us to do it because they need crystal cores?"
"Stop talking, let's go. We're getting paid, aren't we just risking our lives for our master?"
“I’m willing to risk my life to protect their safety, but they make us risk our lives for a good meal or a bouquet of flowers. Our lives are not worth as much as their enjoyment.”
Despite their complaints, they still crossed the fence that was blocking the zombies and went out to hunt them down with their weapons.
They kill with superpowers, or bombard swathes of people with cannons—they do whatever is fastest and safest possible.
With a huge pile of weapons around, you can't exactly go in with your own knife.
After using firearms to annihilate hordes of zombies, try to move them to a safe place and slowly search for the crystal core.
They're not stupid; they have weapons but choose to risk their lives.
After the obtained crystal cores were cleaned, they were quickly delivered to the owner's family within the base.
Around the Zeus base, the sounds of artillery shells rang out one after another, startling the four people lurking among the zombie horde.
Sai Xishi and Lulu, hiding in a dilapidated house, each clutching a black cube, listened to the commotion outside in a daze.
Sai Xishi asked, "Could it be that they've already started fighting last night? It's not our agreed time yet, why are the cannons going off outside?"
"Wait and let me see."
Lulu closed her eyes, used her precognitive ability, and then opened them again. "There's no war. The people from the Zeus base are using firearms to kill zombies. I don't know what they're doing. It doesn't affect us. We can just keep hiding."
On the other side, Ye Sangyu and Qin Nianshu hid among the zombie horde, standing on a collapsed high wall, watching the movements around the Zhouji base.
Ye Sangyu asked, "What are they doing?"
Qin Nianshu shook her head, "I don't know why we suddenly have to kill zombies. Let's proceed according to the original plan. We'll launch an attack when a zombie upgrades to level four."
Ye Sangyu nodded, "I suppose my sister has already infiltrated by now. She's probably doing something, as long as we don't give ourselves away."
The two of them quietly went down and continued to guide the zombies to gather in this direction, trying to maximize the number of zombies irradiated by the black cube.
Inside the Zeus base, Meng Shiwan has been busy ever since she started, with the queue at the entrance getting longer and longer as more and more people arrive after hearing the news.
This place, which should have been the most inconspicuous doorway on this bustling street, has become the most popular spot.
Who can resist the temptation of rare goods?
Meng Shiwan showed no impatience and sold the crystals with great enthusiasm. The system helped her calculate the accounts and count the crystal cores, and she was also very excited about it.
There's no way around it, this business is just too profitable.
A single order can contain tens of thousands of crystal cores. Just a few kilograms of fruits and vegetables are enough to make the crystal cores flow into your pocket like water.
Even Meng Shiwan has become more attentive to customer service; the smile on her face has never stopped.
As dusk approached, Meng Shiwan looked at the still long queue outside and realized that if she didn't close for the day, she could have business all night long.
After selling all the fruits and vegetables on the counter, she said to the people in line, "We're closed for today. Come back tomorrow morning to buy more."
Upon hearing this, some of the customers in line complained and tried to persuade Meng Shiwan to stay open for a little longer.
Before those complaints could even be voiced, Meng Shiwan slammed the door shut and closed the shop.
They're incredibly arrogant, yet outsiders can't say anything about it, since fresh ingredients can only be bought here.
If they're closed today, you'll have to come tomorrow.
These customers, who usually enjoy VIP treatment in other stores, became exceptionally tolerant at this moment.
