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

"She knows perfectly well that this blueprint is useless, yet she still demands four gold coins right off the bat. She's clearly trying to scam people; can't you see that?"

Jiang Lai interjected.

If she hadn't just been beaten up, she definitely wouldn't have been so polite.

Chen An was naturally aware of this as well.

Therefore, his original target price was two gold coins.

But then the price suddenly dropped.

If you want to take advantage of me, I can naturally take advantage of you too.

After all, everyone is just trying to survive, and from their own perspectives, no one is wrong.

Room owner #009527: I can only give you one gold coin, three loaves of bread, and three bottles of water at most.

No news.

Chen An wasn't in a hurry.

It's a profit to be able to buy the refrigerator blueprints at a low price.

If you can't buy it, it's not a big problem.

Anyway, it's not a necessity for survival in the next couple of days.

"I just saw a composite bow for sale, but it didn't come with arrows. Do you think it's worth buying?"

Jiang Lai suddenly looked up and asked.

"Of course you can buy it, but these long-range weapons are probably not cheap," Chen An said.

If you have a bow, you can definitely have arrows.

At worst, we can just spend some time acquiring arrows.

"I just asked the price, and it's already been bought. It's only been listed for a few minutes, so it seems like there are quite a few people with access to it."

Jiang Lai frowned as she looked at the replies on the panel.

Chen An was not surprised.

It should be understood that an individual's resources are difficult to compare with those of a team.

Based on his previous deductions, after entering the Eternal Night World, rooms are matched based on proximity.

If they are soldiers in the military, their overall quality is already higher than that of ordinary people.

Then they naturally trust each other more than ordinary people, making it easier for them to unite.

Imagine if all the residents of a floor were special forces soldiers—that would be terrifyingly powerful!

Although everyone's attribute is 1, the combat experience, combat skills, and wilderness survival experience that the special forces soldiers have acquired in the past still exist.

Even ordinary soldiers can overwhelm ordinary people in combat.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that soldiers might also engage in internal strife after arriving in this world...

After all, this is an unrestrained world of eternal night, and people's hearts are hard to fathom.

"I feel like I won't be able to collect ten gold coins to earn interest again today."

Jiang Lai rubbed her slightly sore eyes and sighed.

I really can't buy any more gold coins.

"If we really exchange fifty bottles of mineral water for one gold coin, that would be a loss."

As Chen An spoke, he got up and stretched his body.

My legs are a little numb after lying down for a while.

"Um."

Jiang Lai nodded, then took the opportunity to sit on the recliner and lie down comfortably.

While I want to earn interest, I can't use too many resources to exchange for gold coins.

Bottled water is definitely a hard currency in this world.

Although it seems that you can buy a bottle of water for 80 copper coins in the store.

But you can only buy one bottle.

The mall has limited availability.

Therefore, the importance of water is self-evident.

The same applies to bread; you can only buy one serving.

Therefore, many residents nowadays are barely able to survive on their meager rations of food and water.

But you definitely won't be full!

Not to mention exchanging food and fresh water for resources.

Jiang Lai suddenly remembered something, looked at the toilet, and said, "Is toilet water drinkable? Our toilets can automatically fill up with water, so can we fill it up and sell it?"

"?"

Chen An was slightly taken aback.

No wonder she's a capitalist's daughter; she has good taste.

He looked thoughtfully at the water in the toilet and said, "Why don't you try a sip? If you can drink it, we'll sell it."

"You should try it; my sense of taste isn't good."

Jiang Lai declined in a very serious manner.

It's not that I can't taste anything, I just don't want to drink toilet water.

"It's okay, don't worry about the taste. As long as you don't die from drinking it, we can sell it."

Chen An said calmly.

Seeing that she couldn't fool Chen An into drinking toilet water, Jiang Lai immediately changed the subject, saying, "I've been thinking about it again. Even if we don't sell it as fresh water, we can sell it as foot bath water or bath water. People should still buy it. Selling 550ml for a few silver coins shouldn't be a problem."

"You've had this idea for a while, haven't you?"

Chen An chuckled.

This woman is really vengeful.

I wanted to trick him into drinking toilet water.

"How could that be! How could I have such foresight?"

Jiang Lai immediately denied it.

"You'd better be."

Chen An didn't pursue the matter further, but instead looked at the water in the toilet.

I must say, it looks quite clear.

They seem to be able to drink a lot.

But of course he wouldn't drink it.

Selling it to other people shouldn't be a problem.

"Try filling two empty bottles on the ground and listing them on the trading platform to see how much you can sell."

Chen An said.

Why aren't you giving it to me?

Although Jiang Lai wasn't a germaphobe, she didn't want to put her hands in the toilet.

Especially the toilet that Chen An used.

"Go ahead and fill it up. If you do, you can sleep on a recliner tonight."

Chen An set out his terms.

Are you serious?

Jiang Lai immediately felt motivated.

"Of course, have I ever gone back on my word?"

Chen An said calmly.

He didn't intend to deceive Jiang Lai.

However...

He didn't say that Jiang Lai would be the only one sleeping on the recliner.

This is a word game.

"Okay, you better not lie to me, or I'll really get angry! Very angry!"

As Jiang Lai spoke, she picked up an empty mineral water bottle from the side.

The reason she compromised so easily was certainly not because of sleeping on a recliner.

But she knew very well that even if Chen An wouldn't let her sleep on the recliner, she was the only one who could do the job.

There was nothing she could do; she was a beast of burden, dependent on others.

Fortunately, I was able to find a different place to sleep, which was some consolation.

Jiang Lai went to the toilet, closed the lid, and flushed it again.

Then they put the bottle in and started filling it.

"This woman doesn't seem to have any fairy-like tendencies."

Chen An looked at Jiang Lai, who worked hard without complaint, and was quite satisfied.

They are willing to put in the effort and are also shameless when it comes to work.

It's extremely rare to see this among female college students.

at the same time.

His panel vibrated.

News about Wang Ziyan has arrived.

Wang Ziyan: Could we have another bottle of water and a loaf of bread? It would be just enough for the two of us.

Roommate #009527: Okay, since we're classmates, I'll give you an extra loaf of bread on top of that.

Wang Ziyan: Thank you! Thank you so much! Chen An, you're such a kind person!

Room owner #009527: Then come to my room to make the transaction.

Wang Ziyan: Okay! I'm coming right away.

Chen An casually turned off the control panel.

Jiang Lai has also filled a bottle with water and started listing it on the trading platform.

[Will non-potable water be placed on the shelves?]

【whether】

"Non-potable water?"

Jiang Lai discovered that this prompt could not be changed.

In other words, you can't pass off toilet water as mineral water.

The trading platform even has regulatory functions.

That's good, at least we won't have to worry about buying counterfeit goods anymore.

"The toilet starts up every time it fills with water, so the water inside isn't unrestricted. If it starts up too often, the toilet might run out of power."

Jiang Lai looked at Chen An and said.

Batteries were used in the construction of the toilet, proving that it is powered by electricity.

Therefore, if the profit from selling them is too low to cover the cost of replacing the batteries, then there is no point in selling them.

"Hmm, you should see if it's a good deal when you sell it."

As Chen An spoke, he came to the door.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

He peeked through the peephole and, confirming it was Wang Ziyan, opened the door.
