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

Room owner #009527: Sure, let's trade in my room.

Wang Ziyan: I'm still outside the community. It might take me an hour or two to get back. Can we make the transaction after I get back?

Chen An frowned.

In that case, you wouldn't be able to profit from the compound interest today.

Using a trading platform is not cost-effective.

Because 15% tax will be deducted from 25 gold coins, which means 3.75 gold coins will be deducted.

With 20 gold coins, you can only earn four gold coins in interest.

Back and forth, they forced each other to work together without any struggle.

Jiang Lai, who was resting her head on Chen An's lap, saw the two's chat and subconsciously raised her pretty eyebrows, saying, "To dare to come and go from the community so frequently, you, this green tea sister, must be very talented."

Chen An didn't bother to correct Jiang Lai's way of addressing Wang Ziyan, and instead said, "All the gold coins have been transferred into your backpack. Check if the interest has been credited to your account yet."

Jiang Lai stopped joking and looked at her own panel.

The talent countdown has just ended.

[Compound Interest (lv1): You will receive 12 gold coins immediately. Every day thereafter, if you have more than 10 gold coins, you will receive an additional 2 gold coins in interest, increasing with your principal. If you have less than 10 gold coins, you will receive a guaranteed 1 gold coin per day.]

[Today's interest has been updated: You currently have 30 gold coins, and you will receive an additional 6 gold coins in interest, which has been automatically added to your inventory.]

"30 gold coins can earn 6 gold coins in interest; this is definitely the right way to make money!"

Jiang Lai happily rubbed against Chen An's thigh.

This is so awesome!

Getting something for free is so enjoyable!

"It's a pity that Wang Ziyan and Xu Bo aren't here, otherwise we could have traded some more gold coins and earned more interest."

Chen An played with Jiang Lai's long hair, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Now their development speed is finally on the right track.

With such high returns from compound interest, it might not even take a month to accumulate the 500 gold coins needed to upgrade a talent.

Jiang Lai rolled over, resting her chin on Chen An's shoulder, and looked at him curiously, asking, "Has your talent refreshed? What are today's supplies?"

Chen An was quite annoyed by her behavior.

"Stop messing around, we have important business to attend to today."

Chen An pressed her hand down and then opened the panel.

【Unrivaled (lv1): You will be automatically bound to everyone in your neighborhood. As long as they are alive, you can receive a random reward from each of them every day.】

Today's reward has been refreshed: Wooden Repeating Crossbow!

[The current number of survivors in the community is 97990, so you have received 97990 wooden repeating crossbows today, which have been automatically added to your inventory!]

"A repeating crossbow?!"

Chen An was immediately surprised.

It's a weapon!

And it's a long-range weapon!

"Wow! Chen An, you're incredibly lucky!"

Jiang Lai was so surprised that she squeezed him so hard that she almost crushed him.

Chen An gasped for breath several times in pain before he could recover.

Then, in a fit of anger, he slapped Jiang Lai's buttocks several times.

"Get out of bed!"

Chen An was very angry!

Damn it, I almost got my family line cut off!

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I got too excited just now and forgot that I wasn't holding a water bottle..."

Jiang Lai blushed and acted coquettishly.

Chen An glared at her, then rubbed his hands before looking at the repeating crossbow in his backpack.

There are a total of 97990 crossbows.

Compared to yesterday's 99013 bottles of mineral water, this is a full 1023 fewer.

In other words, in just one day, more than a thousand residents in the community died.

Chen An felt a pang of heartache.

These are all his sources of supplies!

Moreover, he had a premonition that even more people might die today.

Because today's Nightmare of Laughter will become even stronger on top of what it was yesterday.

Nowadays, many residents are barely managing to upgrade to a second-class door.

Even yesterday's Smiling Nightmare might not be able to withstand it, let alone after it becomes stronger again.

"Speaking of which, does your repeating crossbow come with arrows? Do you need to buy special arrows to use it?"

Jiang Lai put on her denim shorts and looked at Chen An.

Chen An had also thought of this.

A repeating crossbow is useless if it runs out of arrows.

He took a repeating crossbow out of his backpack to examine it.

"It's quite heavy..."

I got the repeating crossbow; although it's made of wood, it's quite heavy.

It feels like it weighs about ten pounds.

Its length is about one meter or more.

The arrow box accounted for the vast majority of the weight and area.

Chen An opened the arrow box and saw that it was full of arrows.

He took out the arrows one by one and counted them.

There were fifteen arrows.

A repeating crossbow comes with fifteen arrows.

These 90,000 crossbows contain more than 1.4 million arrows!

He can't possibly use it all; he can't possibly use it all by himself!

Therefore, to maximize interest, the best approach is to sell the item and exchange it for gold coins and blueprints.

Weapon prices have always been high in the trading post.

Long-armed weapons, especially long knives, long swords, and long spears, were very popular.

After all, no one wants to engage in close-quarters combat with a monster.

Therefore, long-range weapons are extremely expensive!

Yesterday, Jiang Lai saw a composite bow without any arrows selling for several gold coins!

Therefore, a repeating crossbow, a ranged weapon with greater firepower than a composite bow, should definitely be more expensive.

"Let's test its power first, and then decide how much to sell it for."

Chen An loaded the arrows into the quiver, then stood at the doorway, raised the repeating crossbow, and aimed it at the wall.

Pull the trigger.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several crossbow bolts were fired, all embedding themselves in the wall.

Close-range combos are very powerful.

If you shoot accurately enough, you can probably kill a Smiling Nightmare instantly.

Then he went to the window and tested the shooting distance again.

"Is it only thirty or forty meters away?"

Chen An frowned.

If the arrow goes any further, it will drift and be difficult to hit the target.

"Based on this, the effective killing range of this crossbow should be around thirty meters..."

Chen An obtained a rough estimate.

Overall, very strong!

Especially for residents like Chen An who lack combat talent, it's practically a divine weapon!

"Jiang Lai, list this crossbow on the trading platform and trade it for gold coins only. See how many gold coins you can get it for."

Chen An handed the repeating crossbow for testing to Jiang Lai.

There are seven arrows left inside.

Since selling the repeating crossbow won't pose a threat to him while he's staying at home, he can definitely sell it!

They can sell their weapons at a good price while the residents still need them.

If firearms were to emerge in the future, the price of cold weapons would definitely plummet.

"If only this crossbow could be modified into the repeating crossbows used by the army..."

Chen An had seen the crossbows used by the army.

Its effective killing range can reach four to five hundred meters.

Just outrageous!

Most handguns don't have that kind of kill range.

"Wow, the repeating crossbow that just went on sale was bought up instantly..."

Jiang Lai's shocked voice rang out.

"So fast? How many gold coins did you sell?"

Chen An was a little surprised.

It seems like only a moment's thought has passed.

It only took about ten seconds.

The repeating crossbow has already been bought by someone?

"Ten gold coins! A full ten gold coins!"

Jiang Lai said excitedly.

"what?"

Chen An was also surprised.

This thing can actually sell for ten gold coins?

Are you kidding me!
