Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

"Oh? How many resources?"

Chen An cooperated by showing a curious expression.

"It only cost two loaves of bread, two bottles of mineral water, and one unit of wood!"

Jiang Lai said proudly.

Chen An remembered that the other party's initial offer for this blueprint was 10 loaves of bread, 10 bottles of water, and 3 gold coins.

It's ridiculously expensive.

But Jiang Lai's bargaining was even more outrageous.

"Great, from now on, we'll leave the grocery shopping to you."

Chen An nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Lai's frugal and thrifty nature makes her very suitable for managing accounts.

"Okay, then I'll continue shopping and see if I can gather enough resources to build a toilet."

Jiang Lai placed the purchased blueprints on the table.

Then I continued browsing the trading platform.

"Toilet blueprints?"

Wang Ziyan was shocked to hear this.

She is still struggling to survive.

Did Jiang Lai and Chen An already plan to build a bathroom?

How come they have so many supplies?

They upgraded the door to level three, could afford a recliner, blueprints, and even pots, pans, bedding, and pillows...

The small room was almost completely filled.

"Wang Ziyan, what's your decision?"

Chen An looked at Wang Ziyan.

"I……"

Wang Ziyan pursed her lips.

"Tell me your concerns."

Chen An disliked riddle tellers.

Wang Ziyan lowered her head shyly and said, "I have a boyfriend, so... so I can't share an apartment with you."

Upon hearing this...

Before Chen An could speak, Jiang Lai, who was on the recliner, said, "We're just roommates, it's not like we're doing anything to betray your boyfriend. Aren't you overthinking it?"

Wang Ziyan, who was already embarrassed, blushed and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. It's just that this room is too small, and it would be very inconvenient for men and women to rest together."

Because of her mother's upbringing, she has a very conservative personality.

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost half a year, and we haven't even had any intimate moments.

It has always been limited to the bounds of propriety.

Now I have to share a room with a strange guy...

This was something she found hard to accept.

"You're really conservative."

Jiang Lai glanced at Wang Ziyan with surprise.

Although she had struggled with this issue before.

But compared to survival, this taboo against men and women touching each other is nothing.

Wang Ziyan remained silent.

She didn't know if her views were right or wrong.

Even her former roommates, upon hearing about her conservative personality, would jokingly say, "The Qing Dynasty is long gone; we girls don't need to protect our virginity for men..."

But she felt that she wasn't conservative because of men.

She just didn't want to casually give her body to a man she couldn't spend her life with.

Indulgence may bring happiness to some girls.

But she couldn't find happiness in it.

"Sorry to bother you..."

After speaking in a low voice, Wang Ziyan opened the door and left.

"I never expected there to be such conservative girls these days."

Chen An casually locked the door from the inside.

It's a bit of a shame that Wang Ziyan didn't join his room.

But that's about it.

"Actually, I'm quite conservative too."

Jiang Lai suddenly said.

"Who asked you?"

Chen An found it somewhat amusing.

"Hmph, I've never been in a relationship in my entire life, am I much more conservative than her?"

I don't know what happened.

Jiang Lai sounded a little unhappy.

"Okay, okay, you're the most conservative one."

Chen An didn't know what was the point of arguing about this, so he just gave a perfunctory answer and then asked, "Did you trade any gold coins?"

"Not yet. The price of gold coins is very high right now. I asked several people who were willing to trade gold coins, but they all only wanted weapons and blueprints."

Jiang Lai said.

"Gold coins can be used to upgrade rooms and build items, so it's normal that they are valuable."

As Chen An spoke, he picked up the tablet and glanced at it.

[Time remaining until today's monster invasion: 02:19:11]

The monster will arrive in two hours.

The sound of hurried footsteps could already be heard in the hallway.

The residents are also preparing to deal with the monster.

When time is needed, it always passes very quickly.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Lai didn't stop for a moment.

I scanned the trading platform for two hours straight.

They finally gathered enough electronic components and batteries, as well as 8 gold coins, to build the smart toilet.

"Eight gold coins cost 110 loaves of bread and 36 bottles of mineral water. What a waste! If the store hadn't had bread and water today, we could have gotten them with just half the resources."

Jiang Lai was somewhat unhappy.

Although Chen An still had more than 90,000 items in his backpack.

But those are their things, and it would feel like a huge loss to give away even one more!

"There's no point in expecting something that hasn't happened yet."

Chen An spoke calmly.

He reached the door and placed his hand on it.

[Materials required. Upgrade now?]

He nodded.

Then a blue countdown appeared.

【04: 59】

【04: 58】

【04...】

Upgrading a room door to level 4 takes 5 minutes.

There are still a dozen minutes until the monster invasion.

There is plenty of time.

So he picked up the blueprints for the smart toilet.

[Materials are available; construction location can be selected]

Every corner of the room flashed through Chen An's mind.

It's like the building interface in a game.

With just a thought, he can place the toilet in the right spot.

He decisively chose the corner at the top of the room, near the window.

"put up."

As consciousness is established.

A large, pure white toilet appeared out of thin air and was instantly formed.

Smart Toilet

[Level: Cannot be upgraded]

[Durability: 7/7]

[Disassembleable: 5 iron blocks, 1 electronic component, 2 batteries]

【Features: Automatic flushing, automatic internal cleaning, and automatic external heating】

[Introduction: Master, master, come and have a satisfying and enjoyable urination! I'll definitely make you happy!]

"Automatic flushing, automatic cleaning, and even heating?"

Chen An was immediately drawn to the effect.

No wonder it can be installed even without a sewer system.

It turns out this smart toilet is completely different from the toilet he knew.

He couldn't wait to try it out.

Although I haven't eaten much these past two days, I already have a lot of food in my stomach.

After all, it's been more than 30 hours since I last had a bowel movement.

"Jiang Lai, why don't you go out for a bit? I need to use the restroom."

Chen An looked at Jiang Lai, who was curiously examining the toilet, and said very politely.

"I'm not going out."

Jiang Lai shook her head: "The monsters will invade in about ten minutes. What if I get locked out?"

"I can solve this problem in five minutes at most."

"That won't work either. There are a lot of people watching your room right now. What if they spot me if I go out?"

Jiang Lai still refused.

Chen An's forehead twitched: "So you really want to watch me use the toilet?"

"Oh, it's okay, you go ahead. I'll just turn my head away and not look."

Jiang Lai said nonchalantly, "Anyway, we'll be living together from now on. If we can't even tolerate this little problem, how can we survive in this dangerous world?"

Chen An: "..."
