Chapter 535: Stop
Lu Li then said, "The lowest is five thousand eight, no less."

The sudden loss of two hundred crystal cores caught Li Lang off guard, and he was so overjoyed that he almost didn't have time to react.

When he realized what was happening, Li Lang couldn't help but scream, "Ah, Boss Lu, you're so kind! Thank you so much!"

The two weren't far apart, and Lu Li was startled by his sudden scream.

Good grief, this base commander looks so composed, why is he so easily startled?

Two hundred crystal cores may not seem like much, but for the base, they can accomplish a lot, at least enough to purchase a lot of supplies from Luli.

Currently, most bases' supply exchange points are supplied by convenience stores, which offer cheap and affordable supplies with a wide variety of items.

They usually make purchases once a week, sending the purchase order to Shen Bing, who then ships the goods through an online supermarket.

However, due to the large volume, the price is cheaper than online supermarkets.

The current procurement channels, from lowest to highest price, are convenience stores, vending machines, and online supermarkets.

Li Lang was very happy to be able to save two hundred crystal cores and kept expressing his gratitude to Lu Li.

Lu Li could only keep waving her hands to say, "It's okay, it's okay."

After repeating this two or three times, Lu Li changed the subject, "I still need to go to the base with you to set up a bus terminal so that it can operate normally."

With the bus terminal, these twenty buses finally have a place to go at night.

Only when the bus service is truly operational can it function normally.

Upon hearing this, Li Lang exclaimed, "Great idea! Shall we go now?"

Lu Li glanced at the time; it was almost noon, time for lunch.

Logically speaking, shouldn't we invite Li Lang to have lunch with us?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Lu Li blurted out, "How about this afternoon? Would you prefer hot pot or Sichuan cuisine? Let's have a simple lunch here."

A casual meal? Do you mean hot pot and Sichuan cuisine?

This is inconvenient at all, and Li Lang really wanted to try both.

But he decided against it. How could he be so shameless? He hesitated for a while, wondering whether to have hot pot or Sichuan cuisine.

Lu Li thought he hadn't heard her and was about to ask again.

Before he could even open his mouth, Li Lang said firmly, "Hot pot, can we have hot pot?"

Lu Li nodded firmly, "Of course! Shall we go over now?"

Li Lang couldn't wait to get up. "Let's go, let's go," he said, and took the lead out of the reception room.

They even held the door closed for a moment, waiting for Luli to come out before closing it.

Led by Lu Li, the two arrived at the hot pot restaurant, in the familiar large private room.

Upon seeing this, Li Lang exclaimed, "Wow, Boss Lu, is this huge private room just for the two of us? Isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

This private room has become a regular spot for employee team building activities.

Sometimes when the employees crave hot pot, they come here. Since each person has their own small pot, it doesn't bother anyone else.

Lu Li shook her head, "No, there will be more people coming later."

Before coming, Lu Li sent a message in the group chat: "[I'm having lunch at a hot pot restaurant. Anyone who wants to come can come.]"

She didn't know how many people would eventually come.

She led Li Lang to sit down and showed him how to operate it, which he learned quickly.

I was experiencing something new and quickly accepting it, my heart filled with amazement.

Times have changed; Boss Lu is way ahead of the curve here.

Soon, the small track on the table began to turn, and small portions of ingredients appeared before our eyes.

Li Lang really wanted to eat everything he saw; he grabbed shrimp paste and beef balls.

Just keep putting everything into the pot until it's overflowing, but you still want to take more.

Since there was no one around, I just put them to one side, and when there was room in the pot, I put them in.

Seeing him eating so quickly, Lu Li couldn't help but remind him, "Eat slowly, don't rush, there's always more food, you won't be able to finish it all." There was not a trace of disrespect in her eyes, she was simply worried that he would burn himself or choke if he ate too fast.

Li Lang didn't want to either; he wanted to eat slowly, but he usually ate too much pig feed.

Seeing these fine grains of chaff was unbearable; I just wanted to keep stuffing them in.

Moreover, even though staying at the Wolf Base for a long time can make one immune to the "smell of death," there are still aftereffects.

Now he feels like his stomach is a bottomless pit, and he can never fill it up.

I tried to restrain myself a little, but only a little. I was a little slower in taking the food out and putting it into the pot, but I still ate quite quickly.

Lu Li stopped talking and said, "Eat up, eat up. Being able to eat is a blessing."

As the two were eating, Zong Xia and Sheng Xian arrived together and greeted Lu Li first.

They introduced themselves to each other and got to know each other.

When Li Lang heard that this was the manager of the factory and the fruit shop, his eyes lit up.

The fruit store had just opened when it joined a food delivery platform, thus discontinuing online flash sales.

If you can order takeout now, why bother fighting over it? It's pointless.

After Zong Xia and Sheng Xian finished preparing the dipping sauce and sat down, Li Lang leaned over and said, "Hi, can we buy from you?"

Although we're eating now, the timing seems a bit off.

But Li Lang felt it would be difficult to find another time like this with so few people and such a good chat.

Zong Xia nodded, stirring the dipping sauce as she spoke. "Sure, clothes or medicine, but fast food won't do, we don't have enough to sell."

Sheng Xian was also stirring the dipping sauce, and the two of them moved in surprisingly synchronized motions.

"Fruit is fine, but it doesn't last long, so I don't recommend buying too much."

Li Lang thought about it and realized it made sense; buying fruit was too extravagant, even though he sometimes really wanted to eat it.

If that ever happens, just order takeout to satisfy your craving.

He then talked to Zong Xia in detail about the prices of clothes and medicines, and what the prices would be if the quantity was large.

Zong Xia immediately turned on the computer and showed the price list to Li Lang.

Aside from chatting briefly with Lu Li and the others during meals, he doesn't want to talk when eating with strangers.

Li Lang ate while watching, and his skill level was quite high.

Don't delay either.

After looking at the price list, everything is within an acceptable range.

He planned to finish this hotpot meal before adding Zong Xia's contact information.

I'll send him the purchase order when we get back to the base.

Now, let's eat!
The group grew from two to four, with Shen Bing and Luo Mu entering one after the other.

The process was similar: greet Lu Li and get to know Li Lang.

Li Lang's eyes lit up, and he proposed to cooperate with them. After a brief chat, they stopped talking.

Luli: I don't know how many times these steps need to be repeated.

Next is Wang Yang, the owner of a bathhouse; it seems impossible to cooperate with him.

Lu Li could see the disappointment in Li Lang's eyes. Then Chu Lisheng came in, and this one was even less likely to work with her.

The disappointment deepened.

Good, things have finally calmed down.

Oh no, it seems not, other shop owners came in later.

For example, he was really interested in bars, especially after learning that some alcoholic beverages had miraculous effects.

They kept saying they wanted to buy it, but Shen Lin said that the robot couldn't mix these drinks; she had to mix them herself.

Therefore, the efficiency is relatively slow, and not many can be produced in a day, which can only supply customers in the store.
