A convenience store?
Where is there a convenience store here?
Zhou Chengzhi tried sniffing the contents of the bag, and just one whiff was enough—those chicken legs were damn delicious! The little guy had only eaten one and left three for him.
Feeling a twinge in his nose, he laid out the chicken legs, steamed buns, and soup on the table and said to his son, “Thank you, Yangyang, for saving some tasty food for Daddy. Let’s eat our meal together first.”
Zhou Yang cheered and pulled two small stools over, sitting obediently and waiting to eat. Today’s meal was a lavish feast.
Of the three remaining chicken legs, father and son ate one each, saving the last one. Zhou Chengzhi felt the craving that had been gnawing at his stomach these past few days finally settle down. Not only did the chicken legs smell good, but they tasted great too. To think, it had been over a month since they’d had a taste of meat.
By this time, the other residents in the building had also returned. They were all familiar with each other and were part of his group. When he went to wash the dishes, he asked, “Is there a convenience store in this base?”
“A convenience store? Never heard of it,” a member of the group said lethargically as they slumped on the sofa.
“How could there be such a place? Nowadays, whoever has supplies would surely hide them,” said another member of the group.
“But my son bought things from there with two Crystal Cores today,” Zhou Chengzhi became even more perplexed. Everyone said it didn’t exist, so where did Yangyang go to buy those things?
“What?! Really?!”
The group of exhausted members suddenly perked up with excitement. There was such a place?
You should know that Crystal Cores are important, but supplies are even more crucial. If they could trade Crystal Cores for supplies, they would definitely be willing.
“Daddy, Yangyang can take you all. Yangyang knows the way,” Zhou Yang, emerging from nowhere, overheard the uncles and aunties in the room wanting to visit the convenience store to shop.
“Really, Yangyang? Can you take your uncles and aunties there to check it out now?” a middle-aged woman asked excitedly, patting Yangyang’s head.
Zhou Chengzhi was also very curious about the convenience store his son spoke of, so the group that had just returned set out again, invigorated by the prospect of shopping, their tiredness forgotten.
At that moment, Guo Yang’s shop also welcomed a few customers who had entered out of curiosity. A convenience store? But there was nothing on the shelves.
“Hello, the images and prices on the shelves are our available supplies. To ensure the security of our goods, if you see something you want, I can bring out the actual products for you,” Guo Yang said with a fitting smile, the perfect image of a shopkeeper.
A convenience store like this?
So they could trade Crystal Cores for supplies? fгeewebnovёl.com
That sounded pretty good.
But their laughter died when they saw the pictures and prices on the shelves. What was with this bizarre art style and these exorbitant prices?
Did they wander into some kind of rip-off store?
A pancake for 15 Crystal Cores?!
Is this a robbery?!
“To celebrate our grand opening, all items in the store are 20% off,” Guo Yang said as though he hadn’t noticed the expressions on people’s faces, still smiling genially.
This was definitely a ruthless businessman, a swindler!
But they didn’t dare say anything; on one side of the store, a few people were watching them intently. Would they get beaten up if they didn’t buy anything?
If Xue Wanyi and the others knew what they were thinking, they would definitely cry out in protest—they were merely looking with “anticipation,” nothing more.
At this moment, Guo Yang noticed the little boy who had come in the afternoon had returned, and this time he was followed by a dozen adults.
