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

"Something that wasn't there before?"

Chen An opened the panel and looked thoughtfully at the trading platform where new items were constantly being listed.

It seems these things were revealed by Laughing Nightmare today.

It seems there is indeed a powerful group of residents.

Or rather, residents who understand tactical coordination and talent combination.

To be able to kill Laughing Nightmare so quickly, their strength is definitely much stronger than Xu Bo's group of amateurs.

"I've put the glass in my backpack. You upgrade the window first. I'll keep an eye on the trading platform; there's bound to be more good items listed today!"

After Jiang Lai finished speaking, she lay down on the recliner and began to focus entirely on browsing the trading platform and bargaining.

Chen An had no objections.

You might actually be able to buy what you need today.

I went to the window.

He placed his hand on it.

[Materials required. Upgrade now?]

"Yes."

Chen An chose to upgrade directly.

【01: 59】

【01: 58】

【01...】

The upgrade time for a level 3 window is two minutes.

"However, there haven't been any attacks from the window in the last two days. I don't know if it's because the Smiling Nightmare can't fly that high, or for some other reason."

Chen An stared into thought as he looked at the countdown on the window.

He certainly hoped that no monsters would attack the windows.

Just then.

The panel vibrated.

It was a private message from Xu Bo.

Xu Bo: Bro, I've made up my mind, let's go for it!

Xu Bo: But, can we discuss the profit sharing again? I have someone else here, how about we split it 80/20, and you get 20/20? After all, we're going out on an adventure, so we'll be putting in more effort.

Room owner #009527: While you guys go out on adventures, I attract monsters and also take on adventures. Besides, I've invested a lot of resources in upgrading and repairing the room door.

Xu Bo: That's right. Let's stick to the agreed-upon profit sharing then. I'll contact the rest of our team now, and we'll attack Smiling Nightmare together, trying to get as many kills as possible.

Room owner #009527: Send me a message before the battle begins. Try not to make too much noise when you launch a sneak attack.

Xu Bo: Okay

Finalize the battle plan.

Chen An calmly closed the chat interface.

As long as he doesn't put himself in danger, he doesn't mind teaming up with other residents to fight monsters.

As for whether attracting more laughs will be a problem...

Chen An glanced at his room door.

Despite being hit for so long, its durability hasn't dropped at all.

The sturdiness of the level four door exceeded his expectations.

No matter how many smiles come, they can't break through.

at the same time.

The countdown on the window ended, a white light enveloped the area, and the upgrade was completed.

Sturdy windows

[Level: 3]

[Durability: 10/10]

[Can be broken down into: 8 pieces of wood, 1 piece of iron, and 1 piece of glass]

Upgrade Requirements: 6 Gold Coins, 3 Iron Blocks, 1 Reinforced Glass

[Introduction: Waaah, I'm so happy I can finally shelter my owner from the wind and rain!]

With the glass installed, cold air no longer blew into the room.

The temperature is gradually warming up.

"Tempered glass?"

Chen An raised an eyebrow as he looked at yet another new document.

I wonder if this reinforced glass can be as hard as bulletproof glass?

Otherwise, if a monster attacks through the window, the glass would be too easy to break.

It makes people feel very insecure.

"Jiang Lai, remember to buy some reinforced glass and iron blocks."

Chen An directly handed over the necessary items to Jiang Lai, the purchasing expert.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

Jiang Lai responded, then adjusted her posture and continued browsing the trading platform.

In this short time, she had already seen several blueprints.

Unfortunately, the other party only wanted gold coins.

But now gold coins are very valuable.

Although the exchange rate today is 10 silver coins equal to 1 gold coin, they are simply unavailable in the market.

Because both upgrading rooms and building items require gold coins.

This has led to persistently high prices for gold coins.

"Yesterday the price of wood skyrocketed, and today the shop is suddenly selling wood. With gold coins so valuable today, could it be that tomorrow the shop will also be selling gold coins?"

Jiang Lai muttered to herself.

Upon hearing this, Chen An's eyes lit up: "You know what, it's actually quite possible!"

The refresh pattern of the in-game store is currently unclear.

But a small bet is not necessarily a bad thing.

"So, how do we do it? Do we need to trade some silver coins in advance?" Jiang Lai asked impatiently.

Although I lost the food bet on the first day.

But she felt that her thinking was correct.

So she wanted to keep gambling!

Anyway, silver coins can be used to buy things in the mall, and can also be exchanged for copper coins.

You won't lose out no matter what.

"Let's trade a few hundred of them with bread and leave them there."

Chen An nodded.

A few hundred silver coins wouldn't cost much bread.

Even if we lose money, it won't be by much.

"Okay, I'll start ordering now!"

Jiang Lai responded and immediately began haggling with her large cleaver.

The trading platform has a lot of orders for silver coins.

After all, you can get it just by killing the Smiling Nightmare.

Therefore, there are more that can be cut.

At the same time.

Chen An also received a message from Xu Bo.

Xu Bo: We'll open the door and launch a surprise attack in one minute. Brother, you can start making noise beforehand.

Room owner #009527: Okay

Chen An replied.

Then he took out a dagger and started banging on the door, making a crisp sound.

Outside the door, the Smiling Nightmares, who had been slacking off from banging on the door, immediately resumed their initial banging frequency upon hearing the sound.

As the sounds he created grew louder, the impact of the Nightmare of Laughter intensified.

Even the smiley face that couldn't squeeze in from the back was desperately trying to get in.

Chen An wanted to use the cat's eye to observe the outside world.

But the doorway was filled with smiles.

My view was completely blocked.

At the same time.

Xu Bo is in a room several rooms away.

He glanced through the peephole and saw that there were a few smiling faces near his door.

They are squeezing hard toward the direction from which the sound is coming from.

Xu Bo looked at Wang Zhiwei and whispered, "When I open the door, if Laughing Nightmare pounces on me, activate your Binding Talent immediately to protect me."

"it is good."

Wang Zhiwei could only nod.

He initially didn't want to risk killing monsters.

But the owner of this room is Xu Bo.

He had no choice but to obey.

Otherwise, you'll be kicked out.

He was already starting to regret giving up his status as homeowner.

Xu Bo ignored Wang Zhiwei's thoughts. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and then gently opened the door.

The door made a slight noise.

But it wasn't nearly as loud as the knocking over there, so it didn't attract Smiling Nightmare's attention.

Xu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed out.

When he saw the scene in the corridor, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

All the smiling faces in the corridor were crowded together at the door of room 009527.

They resembled a crowded horde of zombies.

It wriggled and emitted eerie laughter.

This scene was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"This is a great opportunity!"

"It's a pity we ran out of gasoline, otherwise we would have definitely struck it rich!"

Xu Bo's heart skipped a beat.

But he also knew he didn't have time to buy gasoline.

Opportunities are fleeting!

He immediately opened his mouth wide.

Fire Talent, activate!

Scorching flames spewed from his mouth, burning the crowded group of smiling faces from a distance.

The outermost few laughing nightmares were instantly engulfed in flames, stiffly turning their heads, their mouths splitting open, as if trying to rush over...
