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

Killing a six-legged monster can drop a treasure chest?

Moreover, the treasure chests can contain a wider variety of resources?

Upon hearing this, the residents were immediately tempted.

Li Jia glanced at everyone's expressions, then sensibly chimed in, "Boss, the treasure chests give out a variety of resources, but the quantity probably isn't consistent, right?"

"Yes, it's unstable; it might be more, it might be less."

Chen An nodded.

"If I get a treasure chest, can I sell it to you directly? It only costs one gold coin! That feels much safer than not knowing what I'll get myself."

Li Jia asked.

As soon as he said that...

The residents' minds immediately became active.

One treasure chest can be exchanged for one gold coin?

It seems like it's not a bad deal.

"This kid is really smart; he knew I wanted to collect the treasure chest."

Chen An mentally gave Li Jia a thumbs up, then deliberately hesitated for two seconds before saying, "I'll give you two gold coins, since the drop rate in treasure chests is higher than that of ordinary monsters, so two gold coins are more appropriate."

"The eldest brother is righteous!"

Li Jia shouted excitedly.

This emotion wasn't entirely acted out.

He had previously guessed that exchanging a treasure chest for a gold coin might be a bad deal, but wanting to curry favor with Chen An, he deliberately put on a show in front of the other residents, saying he wanted to sell the treasure chests.

As a result, Chen An actually raised the price to two gold coins.

Compared to treasure chests where the contents are uncertain.

Two gold coins meant a stable income, so of course he was tempted!

Although the value has slightly decreased due to the gold coins being generated in the store today.

But gold coins remain a hard currency.

After all, upgrading doors and building blueprints require gold coins, a lot of gold coins.

Therefore, other residents were also tempted when they heard about this offer.

"Boss, if we get a treasure chest, can we sell it to you too?"

"Yeah, boss, I want to upgrade the door, but I'm a few gold coins short."

"Me too! I don't even have any silver coins, I can't afford the gold coins that appeared in the shop today. Boss, please help us out!"

"Father, I also want to find the treasure chest."

The residents surrounded Chen An and shouted.

This is the effect Chen An wanted.

With Li Jia's guidance, it was easy to unify everyone's thoughts.

"No problem at all. As long as you can bring the treasure chests, I'll buy them all for 2 gold coins! I'll cover any profits or losses, no matter what resources you get."

Chen An made a promise to everyone.

"Boss is awesome!"

"My adoptive father is benevolent and righteous!"

"Quick, quick! Let's go after that six-legged monster! It must still be inside the building!"

As the residents grew excited, some were already shouting and preparing to rush into the building.

People are easily swayed by self-interest.

Two gold coins would be considered a windfall for 99% of people.

"Everyone, don't rush. Let's split up first! That way we won't encounter other monsters, especially the faceless monster. Those things are very aggressive, and it would be dangerous if we encountered them alone."

Li Jia quickly stopped him.

The residents calmed down a bit, then ignored Li Jia and looked directly at Chen An: "Boss, what do you suggest we do?"

"Boss, you provided the monster information, so we'll listen to whatever you say!"

"Me too!"

Li Jia looked at this group of guys, his eye twitching slightly.

really.

As long as the wealthy and powerful Chen An appears, these people will not listen to him at all.

Even though he had already accumulated some prestige, it was still not as attractive as real money.

"It's too dangerous to split up. You can form teams freely, but at least five people per team. Then search for the six-legged monsters in different areas. There might be more than one in the building. Search this building first, and then go to other places together."

Chen An assigned the task.

This is relatively safe.

The office space isn't very large, so even if a team on one floor encounters danger, everyone can regroup in time.

"Listen to the boss!"

The group quickly split into their own teams.

Team up with classmates you know.

Some people who are close friends can team up together.

In short, the teams were divided up very quickly.

"If we encounter multiple six-legged monsters, remember to call for reinforcements to gang up on them. Okay, let's go!"

Chen An gave the order.

The residents responded and went into the building.

Each team also brought out their lighting equipment.

There were torches, candles, and flashlights.

They hadn't been willing to take it out to use before.

Of course, some people acquired their equipment just through a transaction.

In short, they are not willing to make sacrifices for the collective, but they will not hold back their own contributions within their own small teams.

After all, the building was pitch black. Without light, finding monsters was out of the question, and even seeing the way was a problem.

Seeing this, Li Jia secretly thought that his boss's grouping strategy was quite good.

This makes the search faster.

It can also boost the enthusiasm of the residents.

After all, operating in a small team makes it easier to grab treasure chests and resources.

If we act together, even if resources are discovered, most people won't get them.

They don't even get a chance to fight monsters.

Just like the faceless monsters they encountered on the way to the abandoned city, they were all killed by Lin Luxi and Li Jia, who were leading the group.

The rewards that were revealed naturally all belonged to them.

The other residents didn't say anything.

But if they are not allowed to benefit, they will definitely feel unhappy.

Therefore, the residents are more motivated to work in groups, whether it's to grab treasure chests or search for other usable supplies.

"Chen An, shall we go in?"

Wang Ziyan asked somewhat impatiently.

"Well, let's go up and try our luck, and see if there are any resources we can collect inside."

Chen An was also a little excited.

He could collect whatever he wanted from inside this huge building.

You can take whatever you see.

That feels pretty good!

A real-life Grand Theft Auto!

but.

His initial pleasure quickly subsided.

Because there's nothing good in the building at all.

The wooden desk was long since rotted away.

Most of the wooden items were rotten.

As for the electrical appliances, they were so badly damaged that they were unbearable to look at.

"This isn't Grand Theft Auto, it's practically a garbage-collecting simulator."

Chen An looked at the completely damaged kettle in his hand and threw it away in disappointment.

This city has probably been abandoned for a long time, and many things are no longer usable.

"I wonder how everyone else fared..."

Chen An could hear sounds of ransacking and smashing all over the building.

Some people were smashing windows, some were dismantling doors, and others were smashing rotten tables.

Although a rotten table doesn't yield much wood, you can still extract a unit of good wood by breaking off the rotten parts.

For many people, this is already a good result.

Moreover, such a harvest is completely safe.

It's as easy as lifting a finger.

Many residents were having a great time smashing things.

Especially some timid female residents.

They dared not face the monster, so they kept collecting all sorts of scraps and resources.

"Chen An, I think I saw the six-legged monster you mentioned!"

Bai Mengjie, who was standing guard at the entrance, suddenly shouted.
