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

[We have enough gold coins. Do we want to use the room expansion blueprint?]

【whether】

Chen An clicked "yes".

The blueprints vanished into thin air.

The six gold coins in the backpack were also deducted.

Then, he and Jiang Lai saw that the originally cramped room had become longer and wider.

But only a little.

An expansion of 2 square meters would only allow for the addition of two or three more toilets.

"Six gold coins are only enough to expand the space so little."

Jiang Lai said with a pained expression.

She haggled so much over the price of a single gold coin that her hands ached terribly.

They also provided a lot of bread and water.

All of it was gone in an instant.

"It's not bad."

Chen An looked at the expanded room, but felt no heartache.

On the contrary, the feeling of gradually upgrading and enriching the room gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

"Moreover, compared to gold coins, the room expansion blueprint is actually more valuable and rarer."

Hearing Chen An's words, Jiang Lai nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I've been browsing the trading platform for so long, and I haven't seen a single similar blueprint."

"Then let's get ready to work. The Nightmare of Laughter is stronger today, and it might drop similar blueprints, so grab something to eat and then keep grinding."

"Okay, okay, sigh, I never thought I'd become your slave, and a slave who can only work standing up."

Jiang Lai sighed helplessly.

Her pitiful little face seemed to be trying to soften Chen An's heart and make him give up the recliner.

But Chen An didn't even lift his eyelids, and only said, "Who forced you to stand? You can sit on the toilet or on the floor, it won't make you cold."

"Hmph, what a cold-hearted man!"

Jiang Lai unhappily stopped acting.

I still choose to sit on the toilet, eating bread while working.

At least the toilet has a built-in heating function, so your bottom won't get too cold.

"Buy more gold coins and see if you can trigger your compound interest talent."

Chen An added another instruction.

Triggering talents is one of them.

Also, using the blueprint for the counter-damage door requires 10 gold coins.

Fortunately, all you need is gold coins; you don't need to collect any other materials.

"receive."

Jiang Lai responded.

Chen An browsed the community chat channel while waiting for Xu Bo's profit-sharing information.

Room owner #000581: Laughing Nightmare is really strong today! My level 2 room door needed several repairs just to barely hold on.

Room owner #000008: Is it strong? Just average, not even enough for me to kill alone. Contact me if you need monster-clearing work; not free.

Room owner #001811: Anyone selling gold coins? I'll exchange 25 silver coins for 1 gold coin.

Room owner #018888: Any pretty girls interested in becoming my tenants? I've upgraded to level two door, absolutely safe! And my skills are off the charts! Become my woman and you'll be on your way to the pinnacle of life!

The owner of room number 019681: The upstairs neighbors are too luxurious.

Homeowner #098613: My neighbor told me there's an abandoned city outside our complex with lots of resources. Is that true? Has anyone left the complex and can share some information?

Owner #100000: Selling some information outside the community. Private message me with your price if interested. No freeloaders please.

Chen An watched for a while, then opened the private chat interface of room number 100000.

I sent him a message.

Room owner #009527: I'll trade you bread for your information. How much do you want?

Room owner #100000: That depends on how much intelligence you need. Our team has barely rested since yesterday, exploring many places and collecting information on several resource points.

Room owner #009527: How much intelligence can I get in exchange for 10 loaves of bread and 5 bottles of water?

Room owner #100000: Wow, a big client!

Room owner #100000: You initiate a trade with me, and then I'll tell you the information we have about resource points, as well as information about several types of monsters in the abandoned city.

Chen An directly selected to pay.

Ten loaves of bread and five bottles of water meant nothing to him.

It's worth using it for information gathering.

Moreover, this information can be resold in exchange for resources.

Room owner #100000: I have received your transaction order. Now I'm informing you of the details.

Homeowner #100000: Go out of the north gate of the community and walk straight for about 500 meters. With a flashlight, you can vaguely see the outline of an abandoned city. Then walk east towards the low-rise buildings for about one or two kilometers. There is a steel factory with a lot of iron inside, but you need to use tools to break it down and bring it back.

Room owner #100000: But be careful, there are many faceless monsters roaming the road to the steel mill. They are extremely sensitive to light and will go berserk if they are exposed to light. When our team first encountered them, we lost several members...

Homeowner #100000: Then go back to where you started when you left the complex. If you choose to walk towards the tall buildings, that's the direction of the city center. There are many abandoned buildings there, containing biodegradable wood, small tools, furniture, and possibly even weapons...

Room 100000 Owner: However, there are even more faceless monsters in the city, and there's also a very fast monster. We don't know what it is yet, only that it's incredibly fast and can kill an adult wielding a weapon instantly. Fortunately, there shouldn't be many of these monsters; we've only encountered one...

Room owner #100000: Let's add each other as friends. If I have any good information in the future, I'll give you a discount.

After watching for a while, Chen An realized that the so-called resource point information this person was selling was actually just picking up trash.

No wonder he considers 10 loaves of bread and 5 bottles of water as a major customer.

Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say that this intelligence was completely useless.

Like that faceless monster that is extremely sensitive to light.

Chen An secretly made a mental note of it.

I won't say whether I'll be able to leave in the future.

If you encounter a faceless monster while out, at least you'll know how to avoid danger.

He forwarded the chat logs to Jiang Lai, then looked up and said, "This is the intelligence I just bought. See if it's useful."

Jiang Lai read through it first, then asked doubtfully, "Is this information reliable?"

"I'm not sure, but it's probably not fake. After all, making up so much stuff would be a waste of time."

Chen Andao.

He doesn't really care much about whether it's true or false.

After all, he doesn't go out.

This is a good opportunity to have someone else test the waters for him.

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll use it as a freebie when I'm bargaining, that way I can save some resources."

"Good, smart."

Chen An showed a satisfied expression.

Although he lost 10 loaves of bread and 5 bottles of mineral water.

However, as long as Jiang Lai can use this intelligence during transactions, he can save some resources.

In that case, it's like there's no loss after all.

It's like getting a bunch of information for free.

"Of course I'm smart."

Jiang Lai said proudly.

It's as if they don't know what humility is.

Chen An shook his head and smiled, then said, "Remember to keep an eye out for any lights, candles, flashlights, or anything that can provide a light source. Constantly painting the panel in such darkness can easily damage our eyesight."

There were no lights in the room.

The light comes entirely from the panel.

Hearing this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but sigh, "Others only need to worry about survival, but we already have to think about protecting our eyesight. The pressure is just too much!"

Her words are pure Versailles.

Just like Jack Ma said he doesn't like money.

Chen An was about to make a joke when he saw a private message from Xu Bo.

Nearly an hour has passed; is my share of the profits finally coming?

He immediately opened the chat interface.
