Chapter 124: Returning To Raccoon Supermarket
Each person received four Food Exchange Cards. Wholesale Wang Defa took one from Yu Jiang and Shi Xu each, and Purple Butt Can Do It also received one from Pure Love Cockroach, settled with Crystal Coins.
They brought the boss to gank people. Wholesale Wang Defa had previously told Yu Jiang that if an Admission Ticket appeared, she should be brought into the Service Area.
Yu Jiang agreed. Entering the supermarket this time wasn’t free; they had to spend Crystal Coins to buy, or they could do proxy purchases.
Before the team left, Yu Jiang didn’t forget to raid these people’s Vehicles clean and then recycle the Abandoned Vehicle.
They divided the things they needed themselves, and gave the unnecessary ones to Yu Jiang, who cheaply listed them on the Trading Platform.
The Bulletproof Vest on God Blocker, God Killer was also stripped off and sold at a discount to the merchant gang for recycling.
The person who sold this piece of clothing also didn’t expect that in less than a day, the item was recovered, earning a free profit. It was sold at a really high price, but recycled quite cheaply, and could be sold again after Instance Time.
“How about we develop a rental business?” Wholesale Wang Defa suddenly had an inspiration.
Purple Butt Can Do It nodded, “We can try it. I think it has great potential.”
These two were really ruthless; they worked out a preliminary plan right on the road.
There aren’t many players willing to spend most of their savings on Armor. People always have wishful thinking, feeling like nothing will happen, and the unlucky one won’t be themselves.
Moreover, spending so much capital on Armor, ordinary Instances might not even break even, and life after wouldn’t be livable.
This kind of bulletproof Damage Reduction clothing is very heavy, and can’t be worn all the time in normal situations. Driving in extreme weather already consumes Fatigue Value, plus added Load.
Renting at a suitable price and charging equivalent value as deposit could solve this problem.
They still needed to figure it out; it was easy to say, hard to implement.
The team returned to the Road and continued forward; the one leading the way ahead had changed to Shi Xu.
Yu Jiang was still using Autopilot. This function, once supplies were sufficient, could be used endlessly and refreshingly.
She sent a message in the Team Channel: “Judgment Card reward has been obtained. We’re on the way to Raccoon Supermarket. If you want anything, prepare a list. I’ll send price pictures when we arrive.”
Kuang Kuang Kuang: “Holy crap! You’re all too efficient!”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “Envious. Me and Lightning Mage King bro, Desert Eagle old bro, our eyes hurt from looking all the way, but we didn’t see any red-named people, and no one private messaged me.”
Han Jiang Gu Ying: “Our team is the same, stopped in place to restock. Just making a list.”
Fishing still needs the Alchemist. Everyone thought she integrated team resources to get on the Combat Power Ranking, plus the temptation of supplies was too great.
Tricking merchants out was high difficulty. Wholesale Wang Defa and Purple Butt Can Do It and the others were very cautious with their lives; if not careful, they’d be pitted by the Doomsday Broker until they had nothing left, not even underwear.
It wasn’t strange for the other side to approach her.
Strawberry Candy: “Don’t know if Raccoon Supermarket’s Paper Towels are expensive『sigh』. These days on Personal Road, couldn’t pick up any Supply Boxes at all. Everything is expensive.”
188 Male College Student: “Big Shot, I want a hot water kettle. Too cold.”
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain: “Okay, those without Paper and Pen can tell me. I have some; write it down to avoid missing anything.”
Yu Jiang replied while gnawing on the fried chicken burger just exchanged with a Food Exchange Card. Cold weather consumed body energy quickly; earlier when she got out to fight, her hands were frozen numb.
Their team all used Frostbite Cream and wore slightly thin Gloves for easy movement, so they wouldn’t get frostbitten in a short time.
As soon as Yu Jiang returned, she soaked her hands in hot water for a bit, ate some high-calorie food, sat in the warm RV, the chill was quickly dispelled. She could drink Ice Cola while watching the snow, then take a bite of crispy chicken leg burger.
Since coming to Road Survival, the muscle lines she could never develop before gradually became clear. Visually she seemed a bit slimmer, and the feeling of improving physical fitness was more obvious.
Before, as soon as she went to work, she was half dead, just like a Zombie.
Raccoon Supermarket was still 60km away. Outside the window was still an endless world covered in Snow, no different from the previous journey.
In the distance, patches of Fir Trees connected to the Mountain Range. No one knew what was beyond; players couldn’t go that far from the Road, so it was impossible to see beyond the Road.
As nightfall approached, they finally arrived at the Service Area.
Seeing the familiar lit Billboard, Yu Jiang eagerly got out and rushed inside.
The Raccoon Boss sitting at the Cash Register eating strawberries looked up and saw it was her, stopped the action, expression somewhat forced.
It’s her again!
Behind the Raccoon Boss hung a Blue Light Screen, showing supermarket closing time: 20:00, and Work Log.
“Buy quickly before closing! No Discount, no restock!” The Raccoon Boss had a face full of refusing overtime expression.
There was still over an hour, which should be enough for them to shop.
Wholesale Wang Defa excitedly nodded repeatedly. This was the legendary only supermarket Service Area on the Road; without an Admission Ticket, no entry.
Just like a real small supermarket, very complete categories!
Yu Jiang noticed that the Fresh Fruits section surprisingly had an employee wearing a Supermarket Apron, looking human-like, but feeling soulless, like an AI robot.
“How come there’s a new employee? Where from?” Yu Jiang covered her face and asked quietly.
Raccoon Boss coughed dryly, with no intention of answering.
Yu Jiang took out the handmade small pottery basin she had plucked from the Farm; she had already planted a Succulent in it.
“When I saw this, I felt it was very suitable to decorate the supermarket.”
Raccoon Boss’s eyes cleared up a lot. She actually remembered her all along?
Raccoon Boss accepted the gift, gestured for Yu Jiang to come closer, and whispered,
“Judgment Card mission completed. The user can stay to work. Low-level employees are just a bit dumb.”
So, the cost of using the Judgment Card was Health Points cleared to zero, then signing a contract with the Game System to become an NPC?
Yu Jiang nodded, indicating she understood, then took out a list.
Raccoon Boss saw their terrifying spending power and smiled more on her face.
Thought she came to pluck wool again, but this time she brought so many big customers!
Entering the supermarket, especially the three coming for the first time, their smiles were AK-47 uncontrollable.
This place was too great!
Besides being expensive, no other flaws. Discounted promotional Paper Towels and near-expiry Beverages were all cleared out by them.
Last time she came in a rush, Yu Jiang didn’t look carefully at the supermarket goods. This time in the fresh produce section, she discovered the Farm’s Trademark.
She symbolically restocked a bit of her existing supplies. The Farm was still more cost-effective; here the fresh fruits and veggies were labeled premium and doubled in price.
Unfortunately, the Farm Instance couldn’t be entered a second time. Even if encountering a Farm-operated Service Area later, renting Planting Ground wouldn’t be cheap.
Yu Jiang saw Insect Repellent Incense and Insecticide Spray in the Home Goods Section while pushing the cart, priced at 100 Crystal Coins.
At this price, it felt like it wasn’t for ordinary Mosquitoes.
She mentioned this, and everyone tacitly added some to the cart. Better safe than sorry.
