Chapter 209: Playing Badly in the Doomsday World 10
Xu Shi was a little embarrassed.
What the shop owner said was indeed correct. Ever since Barbara's shop appeared in this world, although the prices were "clearly marked", there was no doubt that what humans obtained from the shop was obviously more valuable than ten zombie crystal cores.
Everyone knows the truth.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many teams of psychics or small gathering places of survivors. Only crystal cores would be left to exchange for the necessary materials for survival, and the rest would be willing to gamble in the store.
Even if nine out of ten capsule toys are useless, as long as you can exchange them for one useful one, it's a big profit.
For example, "Body Building Technique".
The benefits that this secret book brings to all human survivors are enough to make the base, which has been on the sidelines, lower its stance and take the initiative to come forward to show goodwill.
But I didn't expect the owner to give me no face at all.
Yes, Xu Shi smiled bitterly. A shop that is suspected to be from another universe, with unpredictable means, and a non-human owner who does not ask for anything from the base, why should he give face to the base?
He wisely didn't mention anything like "I would like to ask you to move your store to the base."
Instead, he spoke cautiously: "Our Dongquan base is the largest base in the world today. There are many survivors. Most of the superpowers are on missions to clean up zombies and have no time to come to the store to shop. This is really unfair to them."
"Shopkeeper, our base is willing to order the goods from your store at a price higher than the original price. Are you willing to order part of your daily goods directly to our base?"
He has learned his lesson.
Unfortunately, Barbara didn't buy it: "This is your base's own business, you handle it yourselves."
Maomao quietly complained to the host: "Longquan Base is already the nearest base. There are bases farther away, which are even more inconvenient. According to what he said, do we still need to send express delivery to them?"
Zhuyin first praised Tong before saying, "Don't bother with them, they will know what to do."
Sure enough, seeing that Barbara was not moved, Xu Shi's expression changed, but he dared not say anything.
He even waited in line outside the crowd for more than an hour and bought three capsule toys.
After Xu Shi left, the customers who had been listening to him talking to the owner started to speak:
"Shopkeeper, your shop will always be here, right?"
"Yes, given the base's style, they will definitely want you to move inside the base. If you move inside the base, it will be difficult for us to buy things."
"Shopkeeper, how long will your shop be open? It won't disappear suddenly, will it?"
The emergence of Barbara's shop has given hope to many people.
Nowadays, almost every survivor has a copy of "Body Building Technique". This basic training secret book has a very low threshold and the learning process is fast.
Even young children and elderly people can feel that their physical strength has increased significantly after practicing for a period of time.
Many people discussed privately that since the store could even sell things like spiritual swords and storage bags, maybe one day a lucky person would win a technique to cultivate immortality.
Or some high-tech weapon from outer space.
If all else fails, try your best to kill zombies and collect some crystal cores. In case you can buy a magic weapon that can protect you like the first lucky girl who entered the store, you can survive in this doomsday.
Barbara said seriously, "Don't worry, our store will not move, and we will not accept additional orders. We will be open during business hours every day, and customers can just line up to buy."
The cat shop owner's words put many customers at ease.
From the time the store opened until now, the owner has always kept his word.
A customer asked: "Shopkeeper, you are so powerful that you can get all kinds of rare goods. I wonder if you can sell us some food?"
As soon as he said this, many people swallowed subconsciously.
The heavy rain that caused the end of the world caused unimaginable pollution to the world. The land could not be cultivated and the water could not be drunk. Until now, three years have passed, and mankind has not found a solution.
The Dongquan base has developed a method that can slightly improve the soil and purify the water source, but it is said to be extremely expensive and cannot be promoted.
In short, these ordinary survivors who do not live in the base need to regularly spend crystal cores to exchange survival resources with the base.
As for why they didn't go to the base?
The base’s review is extremely strict, and becoming a base citizen requires a one-time payment of a large amount of resources.
Many survivors like Xu Jiayuan before have not evolved special powers, their combat capabilities are mediocre, and they are lucky to be able to struggle to survive. They simply cannot afford so many resources.
Another type is a team of psychics like Chu Yan and his group.
The base stipulates that every citizen of the base must pay half of their income as tax every month, regardless of whether it is from missions or from working in the base.
Many powerful teams of superpowers were unwilling to join the base. The two sides were in a cooperative relationship.
Barbara also knew that food was something that was urgently needed for these humans in the end times.
But it is not a real business system and cannot create food out of thin air.
Hmm, I don't know if the host can do it.
But if the host doesn't do this, then it is assumed not to be done.
It shook its head: "The products are all in the capsule. Our store does not accept customization."
The man just asked casually, and was not too disappointed when he got a negative answer.
The line was really long and the owner was easy to talk to, so the atmosphere in the store gradually became relaxed.
At this time, a little girl ran out from the team, probably from her parents, and looked up at Barbara.
"Cat." The little girl looked at her with joy in her eyes, "You are so pretty."
Barbara wagged her tail: "Thank you."
The child asked in confusion: "Mom said you are a very powerful cat, coming from the sky. Do you know that the monsters outside will be destroyed? Will we no longer be hungry in the future?"
Su Heng, who had just taken revenge and heard his teammates talking about the wonders of the store, came over to check it out and heard these words as he entered the door.
He paused.
