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

The downside of small rooms is that it's hard to have privacy.

Chen An had just been intimate with Jiang Lai, and before his hand could even slip under his clothes, Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi saw it.

Fortunately, he's thick-skinned and doesn't care about these things.

"Have you packed everything up? How was the haul?"

Chen An wiped his mouth and asked calmly.

Jiang Lai blushed slightly, coughed lightly, and opened the panel, pretending to be very busy.

"Hmm, a total of 19 gold coins, 63 silver coins, and 103 copper coins, plus a blueprint, three loaves of bread, two bottles of water, and two buckets of noodles."

Wang Ziyan suppressed her shyness and reported to her supervisor.

Lin Luxi kept her head down, remaining silent and introverted.

"19 gold coins? Lin Luxi's drop rate is indeed pretty good."

Chen An nodded slightly.

He also observed the explosion rate of other residents through the surveillance system.

They rarely get gold coins when they kill Smiling Nightmare.

Even the number of silver coins was one or two less than that of Lin Luxi.

There are one or two missing from each one.

Sometimes there are even fewer than three or four.

This shows just how high the drop rate of war treasure is!

"What kind of improvement would there be if War Treasure were upgraded to level 2?"

Thinking of this, Chen An had an idea and directly opened Lin Luxi's panel to check the upgrade requirements.

Lin Luxi raised her head slightly.

Seeing my panel open like this, I felt a little strange.

But this is what makes residents feel inferior.

Unable to resist.

[War Treasure Lv1: You will directly receive a +2 boost to all attributes, and every enemy unit you kill will increase your drop rate. The higher the drop rate, the richer the rewards you will receive for killing enemy units. When the drop rate accumulates to 100%, you will receive a grand prize! Your current drop rate is: 16%]

[Upgrade Requirements: 300 Gold Coins, receive the ultimate prize once, and complete a designated task (Note: the designated task will be automatically triggered after you complete the first two tasks)]

"The upgrade requirements don't seem too difficult."

Chen An stared at the panel in deep thought.

He had observed it before.

Killing a Nightmare will increase the drop rate by 1%.

Therefore, killing one hundred Laughing Nightmares is enough.

Thinking about this...

He then opened Wang Ziyan's panel.

Let's take a look at Wang Ziyan's talent upgrade requirements.

[Dual Domination Lv1: This talent can be activated when you are 3 meters away from a human. If the other person does not reject your talent, you will both receive a speed and strength boost. If the distance between you exceeds 3 meters, the talent will automatically expire.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 150 Gold Coins, a Trust Level of 70 or higher with any resident, and completion of a designated task (Note: Completing the first two tasks will automatically trigger the designated task)]

"Trust level? What kind of data is that?"

Chen An couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

I don't know how the requirements for upgrading this talent are determined.

He scanned Wang Ziyan's panel again and saw an additional notification about her trust level at the bottom.

[Current room resident trust rating: Chen An (39), Lin Luxi (38), Jiang Lai (9)]

"So, the comfort level of my room isn't displayed for all guests. It's probably like Wang Ziyan's trust level—a special statistic..."

Chen An then understood.

When he saw that none of the three women had room comfort ratings on their panels, he assumed it was because they were no longer the room owners.

It now appears that this is because each person's panel displays differently.

No wonder the tutorial that appeared when I first arrived in this world specifically reminded me to pay attention to the hidden panel.

Some residents may also have special data on their dashboards.

Data such as trust levels and comfort levels can be easily targeted if seen by strangers.

While thinking, Chen An took the blueprints out of Wang Ziyan's backpack.

[Smart Bathtub Blueprints]

【Effects: Cleanses the body, automatically heats up, and relieves fatigue】

【Requirements: 10 Gold Coins, 2 Batteries, 6 Iron Blocks】

"It's a pity they're not weapon blueprints."

Wang Ziyan said with some regret.

Although they have no shortage of weapons.

But weapon blueprints are more valuable.

It's much taller than a bathtub.

Bathtubs are basically useless.

After all, there isn't even enough water to drink, so who can afford to take a bath?

I doubt anyone would want these blueprints if I tried to sell them.

After all, the building materials alone are enough to upgrade the door once.

But that applies to other people.

For Chen An, the bathtub blueprints were actually more practical!

Because his talent requires him to improve the comfort of the room.

The room is too small now, and this bathtub looks like it would take up a lot of space, so it wouldn't fit even if it were built.

"Jiang Lai, you should buy more room expansion blueprints now, even if they're a little more expensive. Also, buy materials for upgrading level 6 doors at a premium."

Chen An looked at Jiang Lai and gave her some instructions.

A larger room will allow for more furniture and will help to quickly raise the comfort level to 80.

Then you can upgrade your talents.

His talent is so great that even if he upgrades at a premium, it's still worthwhile.

As for the room door, that goes without saying.

When it comes to matters of life and safety, it's worth any premium.

Otherwise, no matter how many gold coins you save, you won't live to spend them.

"OK."

Jiang Lai responded, then took a sip of water and, while browsing the trading platform, said, "However, I haven't seen any of the refined steel and red runes needed to upgrade a level 6 door after all this time."

"I did see two other types of door blueprints, but they were too expensive and we don't need them, so I didn't buy them."

Chen An nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Because he heard a lot of people coming to the door.

It must have been Li Jia who called to exchange the repeating crossbow.

After all, the airdrop is about to land, and some people might want to go downstairs to try their luck.

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock came at the door.

Lin Luxi stepped forward and opened the door.

Li Jia and his burly roommate walked in first, each carrying a crossbow.

"Boss, I have six arrows left in my crossbow. Can I take them out?"

Li Jia asked.

"Of course you can. My synthesis talent can directly synthesize a full set of arrows, so you can take out any arrows you haven't used up. That way, it won't be a waste." Chen An looked at the crowd waiting outside the door and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, both Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi glanced at him subconsciously.

But they both remained silent.

Although Chen An didn't tell the truth, his price reduction did indeed help everyone on this floor.

Of course, he didn't lose out either.

Repeating crossbows that have been salvaged but have no arrows can also be listed for resale on trading platforms.

These wooden repeating crossbows have very low durability, so even residents who have already purchased them will need to replace them.

Moreover, Chen An had a brilliant idea.

That means taking a few arrows from other crossbows that are already full and putting them in empty crossbows... This way, every crossbow will have arrows to use, and it can be sold for a higher price.

"Okay, thanks, boss!"

As Li Jia spoke, he instructed the residents to retrieve the arrows.

Then Chen An took the repeating crossbow, put it in his backpack, pretended to do it for a moment, and then took out another crossbow full of arrows and handed it over.

Li Jia opened the quiver to check, and after confirming it was indeed full, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Boss, your talent is amazing! It filled up in no time!"

"It's a minor issue; let the others come and get it replaced as soon as possible."

Chen An smiled faintly and said.

"Alright, boss, here's the gold coin."

Li Jia handed over a gold coin as a cost fee, then turned and left.

Then another male resident walked in with a crossbow.

"Boss."

This is a boy wearing glasses.

Chen An, as usual, pretended to change.

that's it.

The dozen or so residents quickly replaced their crossbows.

Then Chen An called Li Jia, who was standing by the door, and asked, "It's almost time. How many of us on this floor are willing to go down and grab the airdrop package?"
