"Just now, the guy guarding our district took out a pack of instant noodles. I wonder if..."
The skinny old man looked at Jiang He. Clearly, the gatekeeper had already told him that the instant noodles were given by Jiang He.
Since it was taken from Jiang He’s hand, it was naturally assud that Jiang He was the one calling the shots in this group.
"Uncle Zhang, I think the food they’re eating looks quite good too."
Although it can’t be kept for long, they could buy it and eat it imdiately.
It’s been such a long ti since anyone had a bite of hot food.
The skinny old man did not refute the young man behind him and gave Chu Jiangyue’s group a smile, the aning couldn’t be clearer.
"Want a al?"
Chu Jiangyue looked at the skinny old man.
"It’s tough for everyone, supporting each other when out and about. If there’s anything you want, we can trade if we have it."
The skinny old man looked at Chu Jiangyue, the only one speaking.
"I just happen to have so, but tis are tough and prices have skyrocketed..."
No consumption can be free, and she doesn’t need to barter with them, as long as they can afford to pay in Crystal Cores.
"I understand, we all have it hard, so high prices are normal."
"Well then, stir-fried vegetables are 2 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores per plate, vinegar potato strips are 4 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores per plate, green onion tofu is 6 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores per plate, tomato scrambled eggs are 8 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores per plate, braised pork is 10 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores per plate, rice is 1 Zombie Crystal Core per bowl.
How much do you need?"
Chu Jiangyue quickly stated the pricing for all the dishes and looked at the skinny old man and his group.
Upon hearing that everything had to be paid in Zombie Crystal Cores, both the skinny old man and the young people behind him did not look pleased.
Since there were no zombies in the district, they didn’t dare go out and have been holed up inside, never venturing outside.
It’s impossible for them to take out Crystal Cores to buy things now.
"We don’t have Zombie Crystal Cores. Can we use sothing else to trade?"
Without Zombie Crystal Cores, Chu Jiangyue wasn’t interested in talking to them.
She had already done them a favor by opening a door, but without money to buy, it was a waste of effort.
"I don’t need anything else."
Having been rejected by Chu Jiangyue, the skinny old man and his young companions didn’t look happy.
"But you’re just a woman; you shouldn’t be able to speak for everyone. If we don’t have Zombie Crystal Cores, we’ll trade with sothing else, or else... you can forget about leaving the district safely!"
"Is this your way of negotiating, using force?"
Lin Xuyuan, hot-tempered, conjured a fla in his hand.
Seeing the fla in Lin Xuyuan’s hand, the skinny old man and the young ones behind him looked worried.
They knew about this; so in the district also suddenly awakened to superpowers.
But none in the district gave them the sense of oppression that the young man before them did.
"Don’t... don’t be rash, let’s talk it out properly."
The skinny old man realized that their calculations might be wrong this ti; these people were not to be trifled with.
"What I said earlier still holds. Before we leave, you can bring the Crystal Cores for exchange."
Chu Jiangyue knew not to push people to desperation and still offered them a glimr of hope.
How many Crystal Cores they could eventually gather for exchange was up to them.
"We also have so instant noodles left, 5 Level 1 Zombie Cores per pack."
Jiang He tily ntioned the instant noodles; though the price seed higher than Chu Jiangyue’s dishes, its advantage lay in the sealed packaging, allowing long-term storage.
While the dishes Chu Jiangyue sold had to be finished today in such weather.
"We’ll go prepare Zombie Crystal Cores now."
The skinny old man didn’t argue further, leading the group away.
This small incident didn’t affect the mood of Chu Jiangyue’s group, and they continued with their al after people left.
Su Zhucheng placed several ice cubes under their table to prevent the dishes from spoiling due to the high temperature before they finished eating.
’Little Fox, can you produce the flyers you handed out before?’
Previously, to attract custors, Chu Jiangyue had distributed flyers in the Prosperity Heights District, but now they were out of stock.
The district had mutated plants for protection, without zombie interruptions.
However, as the extre heat weather persisted, the people here would eventually beco unable to sustain themselves.
Since they were already here, Chu Jiangyue didn’t mind giving them a glimpse of hope.
"Of course, Host, how many do you want?"
The Jianglin Hotel had already upgraded, and Little Fox had more energy to use.
Creating a few flyers was a piece of cake for it.
’Make about 100 for .’
"Okay, Host!"
Little Fox stood on Chu Jiangyue’s shoulder, its tail flapping as its little face strained.
Before long, 100 flyers appeared in front of Chu Jiangyue.
The flyers featured photos of the entrance of Jianglin Hotel, the restaurant, and the main entrances of Building 1 and 2.
"With this flyer, within 3 days, you can isolate the extre heat and block zombies within a 1-ter range. Host, are you planning to give the flyers to people in this district?"
Besides Chu Jiangyue and the group, only the district’s original residents were here.
Shen Zhigui and the others had temperature control suits and superpowers, they wouldn’t be in danger if they encountered zombies.
So it must be for the district’s original residents.
’Consider it a good deed for the day from your Host.’
An unexpected stack of paper appeared before Chu Jiangyue, and Shen Zhigui’s group wasn’t surprised anymore.
After seeing buildings rise overnight, a few pieces of paper were nothing special.
Though they thought like this, they still fixed their gaze on Chu Jiangyue.
"Need help distributing the Jianglin Hotel flyers?"
Chu Jiangyue extended her hand and took the 100 flyers floating in front of her, imdiately putting them into her system backpack.
"If Boss Chu needs, we would be more than happy to help."
Shen Zhigui didn’t mind helping Chu Jiangyue with things within his capability.
Chu Jiangyue glanced at Shen Zhigui, "No need, it’s for the people of this district."
If they wanted to buy instant noodles and dishes, they’d surely return. Then the flyers would be handed to the skinny old man.
Within an hour, the skinny old man, sohow having organized it, returned with people.
They bought 50 packs of instant noodles from Jiang He and from Chu Jiangyue, 3 plates of each dish and 50 bowls of rice.
And to ensure better transportation, they brought along quite a few young n this ti.
Before they left, Chu Jiangyue took out Jianglin Hotel’s flyers from her system space.
"These are Jianglin Hotel’s flyers. Having one, you’ll be unaffected by extre heat and zombie intrusions for 3 days within a 1-ter range."
"This is..."
"This is from the hotel I run. If you find it too hard to live here, you can take a look there.
There’s also people from B City Safety Base in the hotel. If you don’t want to stay, you could follow them to the base."
Once she reached B City Safety Base, she should be able to complete the latest recruitnt task.
After completing this task, it’s likely there’ll be new rooms available.
