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

"Boss, I just asked around, and including me, only seventeen people are willing to go."

Li Jia looked at Chen An and explained, "Because those robbers kept threatening us in the chat room, many people were worried that they would resort to dirty tricks, so they dared not go downstairs."

Chen An was not surprised.

He also knew that it was virtually impossible to persuade others to take risks just by talking.

Moreover, even if they manage to grab the airdrop package, it might not necessarily be given to him.

So he already had an idea and said directly, "Tell the other residents that if anyone gets the gift pack and is willing to hand it over to me, I'll upgrade their door to level 4 and give them an extra crossbow."

"Even if you don't manage to grab the gift pack, everyone who's willing to come downstairs and help will get a gold coin! And whoever contributes the most during the gift pack grabbing period will get an extra reward!"

When Chen An said these words, he deliberately raised his voice.

So the dozen or so residents who were loitering at the door all heard it and understood it clearly.

Their eyes lit up immediately.

A gift pack can be exchanged for a level 4 room door?!

This temptation is too great!

Many people work hard all day, and if they're lucky, they can only reach level three at most.

A level four door is simply impossible.

Forget about upgrading to a level four door, they don't even know what materials are needed for a level four door...

But they all knew that as long as they had a level four door, they could probably withstand even tomorrow's Smiling Nightmare!

So, they were all tempted.

Moreover, even if you don't manage to grab the gift pack, you're guaranteed a gold coin reward just by going downstairs once.

If you lend a hand during the process and mitigate the damage, you'll receive extra rewards.

With the boss's generous attitude, the extra reward will definitely be quite substantial!

Thinking of this, before Li Jia could even speak, someone outside the door shouted, "Boss, I'll go talk to my neighbor right now, the two of us will go down and help you grab the airdrop!"

"And me, boss, I've figured it out too. I want to do more for our floor!"

"Boss, I'll relay your orders to the other residents right away!"

Li Jia glanced at the excited crowd at the entrance and sighed inwardly.

he knows.

From that moment on, Chen An had used money and resources to buy his way to power.

Most of these residents have already settled down.

Fortunately, he wasn't rebellious.

I don't feel particularly upset.

Moreover, even he was very tempted by the reward Chen An offered.

He had originally planned to hand over the gift package to Chen An in exchange for protection.

Although his resources were barely enough to upgrade his room to level three, he would be completely drained of his savings after the upgrade.

Forget about getting a Level 4 door.

Therefore, exchanging a gift pack with an uncertain reward for a level 4 room door is definitely a worthwhile investment!

"Boss, I'll go and talk to them a bit, then I'll take them downstairs."

Li Jia spoke up.

"Well, if anyone is willing to come downstairs but doesn't have a weapon, they can come to me on credit for a repeating crossbow. They can pay me back with the gold coins later," Chen An said.

"Alright, boss, you're so kind!"

Li Jia praised sincerely.

Although he guessed that even if Chen An only sold a crossbow for three gold coins, he could still make a profit.

But his help to everyone was genuine.

It should be noted that a crossbow fully loaded with arrows can't be bought on any trading platform for 3 gold coins!

It's no exaggeration to say that they could make a few gold coins by buying a crossbow on credit from Chen An and then reselling it on a trading platform.

"Boss is awesome!"

"My godfather is so generous!"

The residents at the entrance were thrilled to hear that they could get crossbows on credit.

They originally shared a repeating crossbow with each other.

If the boss is willing to extend credit, then everyone can have a repeating crossbow!

People are easily swayed by self-interest.

After Chen An promised a large amount of benefits.

Sure enough, a lot of residents were willing to come downstairs.

There are more than a dozen female residents among them.

They all came to buy repeating crossbows on credit.

Chen An had Jiang Lai register her name, and then generously gave each of them one!

赊！

Buy on credit!

As long as the residents on this floor are armed strong enough, those robbers are nothing!

"Thank you, Chen An."

Bai Mengjie received the new repeating crossbow and said with some gratitude.

She ran out of crossbow bolts, and then Nightmare broke down the door, damaging her crossbow in the process.

She was originally worried about what to do about tomorrow's monster invasion.

Unexpectedly, Chen An started buying repeating crossbows on credit.

So she decided to go downstairs and risk grabbing an airdrop gift pack as a way to repay Chen An.

"Teacher Bai, you'll stay with Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi for a while. They're quite strong and can protect you."

Since Chen An felt indebted to Teacher Bai, he offered an extra word of advice.

"Um……"

Bai Mengjie was a little embarrassed, but she nodded anyway, and then, being very perceptive, went out to wait.

"Is everyone ready? We should head out now; the airdrop will be coming in less than ten minutes."

Li Jia and his men shouted in the corridor.

Although the residents were still a little scared, they gripped their crossbows tightly and became much braver.

"Be careful when you go downstairs. The gift packs are secondary; your safety is the most important thing."

Chen An gave instructions to Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi.

The two women nodded, and then they set off.

91 people went down from their floor in this wave!

They practically swarmed out!

91 people, each with a repeating crossbow, that's incredibly extravagant!

Combined with each person's hidden talents, they wouldn't be afraid even if they encountered that group of bandits.

Then we'll see who snatches whom!

"91 people, you'll have to give out 91 gold coins when they get back, isn't that a huge loss?"

Jiang Lai couldn't help but frown.

"Don't worry, you won't lose money."

Chen An glanced at the gold coin balance in his backpack.

Previously, building and upgrading the mermaid ornament cost over a hundred gold coins, which has now plummeted from over six hundred to 480.

But now it has risen back to 550.

"Those who bought my crossbows on credit still owe us a lot of gold coins. We can settle the debt later, and not only will I not have to pay any gold coins, I can even make some money."

Chen An leaned against Jiang Lai and continued, "As for the repeating crossbows we paid for, it's a long-term investment. After all, the stronger the residents on this floor are, the more resources we can compete for in the future."

Jiang Lai also had a business mind, so she quickly figured it out.

Indeed it is.

Since there are airdrop packages today, there will most likely be more in the future.

Residents can still try to grab it then.

Even if there are no airdrop packages to grab, you can still go kill monsters.

The more monsters the residents kill, the more resources they will obtain. At that point, they won't even need to go to the trading platform; they can directly buy the supplies they need offline.

There are also rare resources similar to runes, which might be obtained by residents.

Moreover, the stronger the residents are, the greater their chances of defeating the boss on the fifth day.

They currently have no idea how strong the boss is.

Therefore, it is not wrong to unite the strength of the majority of people to fight together.

From the current perspective, being a lone wolf is not a good thing.

After all, no one can single-handedly eliminate all the monsters in an entire neighborhood.
