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

"How dare you steal my things?!"

This was the first time Chen An had ever been this angry since arriving in the world of Eternal Night.

He pulled out a repeating crossbow, opened the door, aimed at the suspicious-looking boy, and coldly ordered, "Put it down!"

The boy instinctively turned around and saw a crossbow pointed at him. He was startled and quickly raised his hands, shouting, "Boss Chen, don't be impulsive!"

"I was just helping you pick up your things, I absolutely had no other intentions!"

Chen An said coldly, "Put your things down and go back to your room."

"well!"

The boy quickly hid in the room with the door almost broken.

Chen An glanced at the other residents.

Those people were also sensible enough not to pick up the things that Lin Luxi and Wang Ziyan had revealed.

At this moment, Li Jia walked over with a tall young man and asked, "Boss Chen, should we go downstairs to grab the airdrop later?"

"Come in and speak."

Chen An did not let his guard down.

Li Jia and the tall boy entered the room.

"Brother Chen, I'm almost out of arrows. If I'm going to raid an airdrop later, could you sell me some more?" Li Jia asked.

Because the Laughing Nightmare swallows the arrows when it explodes, the arrows that hit it cannot be retrieved.

Chen An did not immediately respond to this question, but instead asked, "I want to know if you are truly willing to obey my orders and cooperate for survival in the future?"

"certainly!"

Li Jia nodded without hesitation.

Chen An stared at him and said, "In that case, go tell the other residents later that if anyone runs out of arrows, they can come to me. For just one gold coin's worth of material costs, I'll give them a new crossbow loaded with arrows."

"I can help you survive without making money from you, but I'm not a saint. If you want me to continue helping you, then show me your sincerity."

"Boss Chen, are you... are you serious?" Li Jia exclaimed in surprise.

You can get a new crossbow loaded with arrows for just one gold coin?

If it's true, then they won't have to worry about weapons anymore!

One gold coin.

It's not a lot.

If you use the crossbow properly, you can easily kill two or three monsters.

The returns will be at least double!

"My talent is in synthesis. As long as I have the raw materials, I can synthesize the necessary resources. So as long as the crossbow is not damaged, I only need one gold coin to replenish the arrows... But if the crossbow is damaged, then I will need more raw materials, at least three gold coins," Chen An said with a serious expression.

He won't tell the truth.

He was already heartbroken to earn less.

Do you want him to give you the repeating crossbow for free?

That's absolutely impossible!

There's no reason for someone who's not related to you to be a victim of injustice.

"Wow, Boss Chen, your talent is simply unbeatable!"

Li Jia couldn't help but be shocked.

Doesn't this mean that as long as there are enough raw materials, we can make as many crossbows as we want?

Perhaps even synthesizing other things is possible.

For example, the furniture in Boss Chen's room might be synthesized?

This logistics capability is simply unbeatable!

From this perspective, it's definitely worth it for them to acknowledge this leader!

In particular, Chen An is now willing to lower the price, charging only the cost and not making a profit to synthesize arrows for them.

This person's character is absolutely amazing!

Thinking this through, Li Jia said earnestly, "Don't worry, boss, I'll contact the others right away and make sure they truly submit to me!"

The boss is a paragon of virtue, so he can't be sloppy.

"Hurry up, the airdrop is about to be launched."

Chen An said.

"good!"

Li Jia nodded and left with his silent male resident.

He knew that the boss didn't yet believe in their sincerity.

Therefore, grabbing the airdrop gift pack is a sign of sincerity.

Although Li Jia also really wanted the gift pack.

But he felt that clinging to Chen An's coattails was more practical than a gift pack with an uncertain contents!

then.

After Li Jia told the other residents about Chen An's request.

The residents were excited.

It's such a great deal to replenish your arrows with just one gold coin!

After all, those damned bandits charge a gold coin just for tolls, and if these fifteen arrows are used well, they can kill two or three Laughing Nightmares!

If you take it out to kill faceless monsters, it can be recycled and reused multiple times, and killing seven or eight faceless monsters is no problem!

"Boss Chen An is reliable! From now on, I'll be his dog!"

"Boss Chen is awesome! Boss Chen is so generous!!"

The residents were very excited and enthusiastic.

Some residents even shouted "godfather" in the stairwell.

It's not that they lack integrity, but resources are simply too important.

Today's nightmare has made them feel the threat of death.

A laughing monster crashes into the level two door; it will break through in just ten hits.

Therefore, we must upgrade the room door's grade as soon as possible.

If we can't upgrade our doors to level three before the monsters invade tomorrow, we probably won't even be able to stop them once.

Chen An's decision to lower weapon prices at this time certainly won over a wave of people.

Of course, he didn't lose out either.

Moreover, the residents on this floor working together provide greater protection for his personal safety.

"Honey, shouldn't we be considered the real bosses on this floor now?"

Jiang Lai listened to the discussions and shouts in the hallway and became a little excited as well.

It feels great to be someone of high status, to be respected and worshipped, and to wield power.

It felt like returning to the world before I traveled through time.

"Sort of, but not entirely."

Although Chen An never enjoyed power and wealth.

But he also knew that the reason these residents were shouting like that was mostly because of their own interests.

Perhaps less than a third of the people are truly grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.

However, that's enough.

This is just the first step.

If you can incite one-third of a group, you can be considered to have initially gained control of that group.

After all, most people are blind, ignorant, and conformist.

Only a few individuals have strong opinions and ideas.

For example, Li Jia.

For example, Xu Bo, who has already passed away.

But Li Jia is smarter than Xu Bo and knows better how to be flexible.

Therefore, when Chen An talks to him, he always starts the conversation with him first.

Because Chen An had no reputation on this floor before, no one listened to what he said, and no one believed him.

But Li Jia had already won over many people's hearts by then.

It's no exaggeration to say that an hour ago, Li Jia's reputation on this floor was higher than Chen An's.

Li Jia can also inspire more people.

If Li Jia is unwilling to acknowledge him as the leader, no one else will.

But now, there are huge profits and a continuous stream of benefits.

Even the most naive residents know whose coattails to latch onto.

Li Jia's reputation has been completely overshadowed by him.

Of course, the reason why Li Jia is said to be flexible is because he knew that Chen An would overshadow his reputation, but he could still accept it and did not show any dissatisfaction.

Be pragmatic and know when to advance and retreat.

This kind of person is very ambitious.

But if you can control him, he'll be a very useful and helpful subordinate.

"It's only taken a few hours. You're already amazing to have done this much, darling."

Jiang Lai kissed Chen An and happily hugged his arm, rubbing it against him.

He increasingly felt that he had a very good eye for men.

At a glance, they spotted Chen An, the most handsome and promising man, among the residents on this floor.

"That's natural."

In a good mood, Chen An wrapped his arms around Jiang Lai and kissed her passionately.

At this moment, he understood a principle more and more clearly.

A man must have strength and status!

Even a proud, wealthy, and beautiful goddess can become proactive, gentle, and sensible in this way.

"Chen An, classmate..."

As soon as Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi entered the room, they saw this ambiguous scene, and their faces flushed and their hearts raced. The words they wanted to say came to an abrupt halt.
