Chapter 237 Vending Machine(1/2)
"Why are there so many people? I'm afraid..." Zhang Xiaojuan leaned half out of the RV and looked around.
The few remaining people were speechless.
Zhang Xiaojuan has a bit of a social phobia. If he can be considered sociophobic, there will be no one in the world who is not sociophobic.
Due to the perpetual night, most of the mountain area where Lu Sheng's base is located is shrouded in thick darkness, with only the natural light sources inside the base emitting a soft glow.
Like fireflies in the dark, they attract attention no matter what.
Knowing that there was no way to avoid it, Lu Sheng simply didn't care if the base was discovered.
It's unrealistic to hide such a bright mess here quietly. Anyway, the base's security system is strong enough. At most, it will take a little effort to deal with the unlucky ones who don't have a good eye.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to hold a rose, you must bear its injuries.
Now that she has enjoyed the convenience brought by the system's rewards, she will naturally happily accept the risks that this gift may bring.
As long as you are strong enough, you will have smooth sailing no matter where you go.
The queue at the entrance of the base was four to five meters long, and it also made two twists and turns. At a glance, there were at least one to two hundred people.
In order to avoid hitting passers-by, Lu Sheng and the others got out of the car when they were still some distance away from the base.
Lu Sheng took the RV back into its space, and the group planned to walk back to the base.
Just as he passed the end of the queue and was about to enter, the man with the Chinese character face next to him grabbed Xiao Yu's collar.
"You know the queue? Don't you see everyone is queuing?"
The uncle’s eyes widened in anger, and after sternly reprimanding Lu Sheng and the others, he muttered angrily, “Young people nowadays are really inferior to each other, and they don’t have any sense of public morality.”
"I was blah blah blah..."
Even in the end of the world, the old problem of domestic uncles being like teachers will still exist.
"Why should we line up when we go back to our own home!"
Han Rui fought back abruptly, took Xiao Yu from the uncle's hand, and strode toward the base.
"Hey! Little girl! Stop working around, we can't enter this yard, there's a space barrier blocking it!"
Seeing Lu Sheng and the others rushing through the gate regardless, a few kind-looking young people in front of the team quickly spoke up to warn them.
"This place is protected by high-level zombies. If you force your way in, you'll be damned! Don't seek death!"
Before the word "suicide" could be heard, everyone saw Lu Sheng and others entering the courtyard with ease.
What the fuck?!
Why can this group of people get in?
The people around were shocked instantly.
They all fled from all over the world, and they were attracted by the soft light on the mountain when they saw it on the way.
Many people in the team tried to enter this beautiful house, but they were all blocked by the invisible barrier in the air.
Some were impatient and wanted to force their way in, but without exception, they were slapped by the two handsome zombies in the yard.
But now this group of young people suddenly appeared and got in without any hindrance??
"Could it be that the space barrier has failed?" someone in the team speculated.
The next second, a few anxious people rushed over.
Not surprisingly, the people who rushed over were all ejected from the invisible barrier and fell flat on their butts on the spot.
Those who have survived to this day are not fools. They immediately realized that Lu Sheng and others were the masters of this mysterious base.
The crowd near the gate immediately became restless.
The owner of the base is back, which means they hope to be able to enter the base.
But no one nearby said anything. They all silently closed their mouths and returned to the queue. Someone in the front of the queue heard the voice and came back to inquire, but all they got were perfunctory and vague answers.
As long as someone is involved, there will be involution. The more people who want to join the base, the smaller the probability that each person will be selected.
Everyone has a small calculation in their mind, wishing that they could only discover the owner of the base by themselves.
Lu Sheng and others returned to the base and discovered the source of the queue of hundreds of people.
The source of the queue, which was several meters long, was at the fence next to the base supermarket.
The two brothers, Xu Han and Xu Meng, were sweating profusely and busy moving things out of the supermarket like little spinning tops.
Han Mingjun's family and Zhao Yuanjiang's family packed fresh fruits and vegetables and cut up meat separately like old oxen pulling a cart.
The three children, Zhao Wenyuan and Zhao Xiaotong, together with the cakes and cakes, set up a table next to Weilan, packaging and selling supplies at different prices.
Good guys, I haven’t seen you for a few days. These people have engaged in Meituan shopping at the base.
The price is reasonable, a bottle of mineral water costs 50 crystal cores, and a bucket of Soup Master instant noodles costs 100 crystal cores. Fresh vegetables and meat are more expensive, but they are within the acceptable range of ordinary superpowers.
.
The only unsaleable items were the snacks that Xu Meng bought from the supermarket, which were piled on the table and no one cared about them.
When you can't even eat, snacks are too luxurious, and few people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.
Even zombie security guards and red panda assistants have not escaped the fate of illegal work.
The zombie security guard is responsible for chopping the ribs, while the red panda is responsible for removing the leaves from the fruit.
Even if you are tired when delivering goods, when you reach out to the fence to deliver fruits, you still have to be robbed by various people.
This group of people were so busy that they were so dizzy that they didn't realize that Lu Sheng and the others had returned. In the end, Bianbing went back to buy popsicles, only to find someone behind them.
"Mr. Base Commander! You're here!"
Pancake's big black grape-like eyes lit up, she ran over and threw herself into Lu Sheng's arms.
"We made a lot of crystal cores today!" Ping Pian carefully handed over the small account book with her hands.
All the products on sale today are densely written on it.
Lu Sheng and others looked at it together and couldn't help but chuckle.
The child couldn't write some words, so he simply sketched the general shape using children's simple drawings.
Half of this account book is filled with words, and half is filled with abstract pictures in various styles. You can only guess what they are.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
They made Meituan's grocery shopping a big gain in one day, and they sold thousands of crystal cores today alone.
"No, no! Please be early tomorrow! I'm off work today!"
On the other side, Han Mingjun sold the last rack of ribs and started to chase people away with his hand.
As the big brother of the Lu Sheng Base, he has always firmly supported the 8-hour work system. His refusal to be involved in involution started with him, and he couldn't wait to get off work at the same time.
Those who didn't buy anything looked disappointed and asked with a smile: "What time does it start tomorrow? Let's line up early."
"9 a.m. to 5 a.m., don't come too early!" Han Mingjun hurriedly made up for Leju.
This group of people is so enthusiastic. Even when he got up at five in the morning to feed the chickens, he could see the crowds of people outside. It was scary.
When these people finished closing the stall and were about to close the business, they discovered that Lu Sheng and the others had returned.
"The poultry at our base are growing so fast that the meat in the warehouse can no longer be stored. They cannot be eaten as fast as they are cooked, and there is really no place to store them."
Han Mingjun immediately explained to Lu Sheng, "I'm afraid that the meat will be wasted. There happen to be some refugees nearby who want to exchange food with us, so I want to sell it to them to earn some crystal cores."
"All the accounts have been laid out these days, and not a single crystal core is missing. They are all placed on the table in the villa."
No matter what, everything in this base belongs to Lu Sheng. He has crossed the line by selling it without telling Lu Sheng.
After saying that, he took the initiative to take Lu Sheng and the others back to the villa for inspection.
As expected, the table was filled with crystal nuclei like a mountain, and some of them couldn't even be placed on top of each other.
"It's okay, make the best use of everything. You also inspired me."
Lu Sheng waved his hand indifferently, and a new idea suddenly popped up.
Instead of wasting manpower on this kind of repetitive work, why not just open a business that sells goods to external parties?
All modules and functions in this system require a large number of crystal cores to unlock and upgrade. Instead of them working hard to hunt zombies and dig for crystal cores, wouldn't it be faster to sell the products directly?
After a simple rest, Lu Sheng opened the supermarket module of the system that night to see if it could be upgraded.
The good news is that you can indeed enable external sales, and there are even vending machines available.
Bad news, it costs 10,000 crystal cores to unlock, which is surprisingly expensive.
As expected, this system would not allow Lu Sheng to take any advantage. The main idea was to bleed meat first.
Looking at the new and attractive vending machine in the system, Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and paid 10,000 crystal cores.
Ten minutes later, Lu Sheng placed the vending machine at the most obvious location outside the safety zone.
The system's vending machines are very advanced and considerate. Not only can you choose and sell all categories, they are even equipped with special instant noodle machines and heating equipment.
In order to supplement the demand for cold drinks, there is also a dedicated ice machine.
