Chapter 204: Playing Badly in the Doomsday World 5
Xu Jiayuan rushed into the store panting.
Soon after she left, news of what happened in this gathering place for survivors spread quickly.
But these have nothing to do with Xu Jiayuan. Her mind is full of vending machines.
Barbara was eating snacks and reading novels with her host. When she heard the noise outside, she quickly hid the snacks and jumped to the service counter with a serious face.
It is now the manager of Barbara, a manager with a lot of baggage!
When Xu Jiayuan walked in, what she saw was a cute kitten squatting on the service counter.
To be honest, she had suspected that this pink kitten might be some kind of high-tech robot.
But what does that matter?
She smiled and said, "Hello, Manager Barbara. I would like to continue shopping here."
Barbara was relieved when she heard the store manager call her. She nodded seriously and said, "Go ahead and do the transaction by yourself."
Xu Jiayuan took a deep breath, walked over, and deliberately chose the vending machine she came to for the first time.
Take out ten crystal cores, put them on, and click to extract.
A familiar light flashed, and a pink capsule popped out and appeared in front of her.
After twisting the gashapon, a teacup appeared in her hand. It was ginger yellow, with a round belly and some random fruits on it, looking ugly and cute.
Xu Jiayuan waited expectantly for the explanation:
[A handmade ceramic cup with a rough workmanship but a very childlike design. It was probably a souvenir the owner bought while traveling.]
Gone.
Xu Jiayuan didn't give up and waited for a while, but nothing happened.
She checked it over and over again, and finally accepted the reality: this was probably just an ordinary cup and had no special abilities.
She couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Ten crystal cores could be exchanged for two whole-grain cakes and a small bottle of water from the base.
It can be eaten for one day, and if you save it, it can be enough for two days.
But she quickly realized: since ten crystal cores can draw treasures like monster feathers, why can't she draw a useless cup?
She cheered herself up and comforted herself: Just think of it as using twenty crystal cores to draw the tail feathers of a monster.
Good things that can save lives may not be available for purchase even if the crystal cores increase tenfold or dozens of times.
And, looking at this cup, it is indeed quite cute.
She made up her mind and walked to the service counter: "Boss Barbara, I want to go out and kill some more zombies for the rest of the day. Can I leave the cup with you for now?"
Survivors like them who live outside the base have no order management and have to carry any valuable belongings with them.
It's inconvenient to carry this cup with me when fighting zombies, and if I put it back into the survivors' camp, it will definitely be stolen.
She couldn't bear to part with the things she had exchanged for ten crystal cores.
Barbara nodded: "Sure. But our store closes at 6pm. If you don't come to pick it up, you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning."
Xu Jiayuan thanked her and was about to leave when she remembered something and whispered, "If those people knew you were selling precious things like monster tail feathers, they might cause trouble."
Or, if someone spends ten crystal cores and draws something like a teacup, they will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"Don't worry." A faint voice sounded from inside the service desk, and a head popped out from behind the desk.
Xu Jiayuan was startled and stared at Zhu Yin: "You..."
She came twice and found out for the first time that there was someone hiding in the store!
A very clean woman.
Refreshing and smooth long hair, fair skin without dirt, no calluses, no scars, and hands with clean nails.
This is not a woman of the last days.
She lowered her eyes lazily, as if she had just woken up from a sleep.
"I'm the store's security guard."
Barbara: “…”
Xu Jiayuan: “…”
She suddenly became worried about the security of the store!
But it was only for a moment. In such a mysterious shop, where magical items like monster tail feathers were sold casually, how could the security guards in the store be so harmless as they looked?
She should worry about her food tomorrow.
She said goodbye to the two of them.
Zhu Yin looked at her back, his eyes falling on the tail feather.
An invisible force surged, concealing the "momentum" on the tail feathers.
The owner of this tail feather has a trace of Phoenix blood. The Phoenix fire is extremely yang and fierce, and has a natural inhibitory effect on dark creatures.
This human carries this tail feather with her, and if she doesn't help, even a brain-dead zombie will instinctively avoid its predator.
You can't sell something and take away someone's job.
The pink kitten jumped into her lap.
Barbara wagged her tail happily: "I'm the store owner, and the host is the security guard. So am I the host's boss?"
"Hmm?" Zhu Yin asked with a smile, "Boss Barbara, are you going to pay me?"
Barbara put her paws in her pocket and said in distress: "But the whole store is guarded by security guards!"
Zhu Yin reached out to the cashier counter, where there was a small basket containing twenty clean crystal cores - they had been processed cleanly, of course.
After all, it was something dug out from a zombie's body.
Zhu Yin picked up two coins and said seriously, "Then give me 10% of the profit for every unit of goods sold."
With a gentle pinch, the crystal core shattered, leaving only a pure energy that wrapped around the fingertips like a breeze.
She opened her fingers and let the energy fly away.
Except for Zhu Yin, no one knew that on the path where the energy dissipated, a tender sprout had gently sprouted from the land that was severely polluted and could no longer grow vegetation.
It is known to everyone in the apocalypse that energy is hidden in the zombie crystal core.
The base has a research institute dedicated to exploring this energy, which is why they collect crystals from all survivors.
However, it was not until many years later, when the story was about to end, that people discovered that the energy in the zombie crystal core could purify the pollution caused by the heavy rain that brought about the end of the world.
It is difficult for human beings to extract this energy so perfectly.
Moreover, at that time, zombies were almost completely wiped out, and the surviving humans all knew the benefits of crystal core energy - it could enhance superpowers, prolong life, and bring huge benefits.
Anyway, the research institute has already developed plants that can grow in the wasteland, and the small group of people who possess the largest number of crystal cores are not so concerned about restoring the ecology of this world.
Zhu Yin decided to do a big business.
.
Shortly after Xu Jiayuan left, the store welcomed the second wave of customers.
It is a five-member team, three men and two women, all of whom have special abilities.
From the moment they entered the door, the five men were tense and on alert, ready to engage in battle at any time.
This vigilance became even stronger after seeing Barbara, the talking cat.
Barbara acted as if she didn't notice their nervousness. She said welcome and raised her paw, pointing to the wall on the left.
