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

66: Open treasure chests and make a fortune!

When Chen An bought information, he learned that the drop rate of treasure chests was relatively high.

It's at least several times more profitable than killing ordinary monsters.

Moreover, you can find many rare resources inside.

That's why he was willing to spend 2 gold coins to acquire it.

[Open the wooden treasure chest?]

【whether】

As soon as Chen An touched the treasure chest, a notification popped up.

He clicked "yes".

You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 6 silver coins, 10 toothbrushes, 10 mint toothpastes, and 5 tissues.

"So many? Not bad."

Looking at the items that were offered, Chen An felt that it wasn't a bad deal.

Six silver coins are almost equivalent to one gold coin.

Then there's the toothbrush and toothpaste, things Chen An has been wanting for the past two days.

He wanted to brush his teeth, and he also wanted Jiang Lai and the other girls to brush their teeth, otherwise waking up with a foul smell would be too unpleasant.

And you can't even stick your tongue out when you kiss, it's too much to bear.

But Jiang Lai still couldn't buy a toothbrush.

Perhaps it's because there are relatively few of them, or perhaps they're too expensive.

In short, this treasure chest contains so many toothbrushes and toothpaste, it's definitely worth more than 2 gold coins, so it's definitely worth it.

And toilet paper is an essential item for wiping your bottom!

Yes, you'll need paper afterwards too, otherwise the sheets and blankets will get dirty and it'll be hard to clean.

This world is, after all, short of water.

Even if Chen An had more than 90,000 bottles of water, he wouldn't use them to wash bed sheets and blankets, otherwise they wouldn't last long.

Next, Chen An opened the second treasure chest.

You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 9 silver coins, 15 candy-flavored chewing gums, and 10 beef-flavored sausages.

It's alright.

Beef sausage is a welcome treat in a world with such a limited variety of food options.

Although chewing gum isn't very valuable, it should be easy to sell for one gold coin.

So I also made a profit from the second treasure chest.

Keep opening blind boxes.

Chen An opened the third treasure chest.

You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 8 silver coins, 9 copper coins, and 1 large serving of delicious braised chicken.

"Big Plate Chicken? You can actually get cooked food from treasure chests?"

Chen An looked at the large plate of chicken that had appeared out of nowhere on the table.

It also contains potatoes and green peppers, emitting a rich aroma and steaming hot.

It looks like it was just cooked out of the pot.

They also brought a large plate, which was very generous in portion size.

Jiang Lai, Wang Ziyan, and even Lin Luxi couldn't help but be drawn over by the fragrance.

"It smells so good!"

The egret, who had been closing its eyes to fall asleep, suddenly sat up.

"Meat! There's actually meat!"

The egret shamelessly approached, like a hungry wolf, reaching out to grab the meat.

Then Chen An grabbed his arm tightly: "Don't move, go wash your hands first."

"handwashing?"

The egret blinked.

Is there any extra water left to wash hands?

Even if there are plenty of resources, we can't waste them like this.

Chen An was engrossed in opening the blind boxes and didn't bother to explain. He tossed her a bottle of water and then reached for the fourth treasure chest.

The rewards for the first three are far more than two gold coins.

Especially this braised chicken.

It's no exaggeration to say that you can sell several gold coins on the trading platform!

But Chen An refused to allow the sale.

He had promised to reward Lin Luxi for snatching the gift pack.

He originally intended for Jiang Lai to buy meat on the trading platform.

But Jiang Lai has not been able to buy it.

Because either the meat is of unknown origin and may not be edible, or it is raw meat and cannot be cooked.

And it's very expensive!

[You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 13 silver coins, 10 pickled cabbage instant noodles, and 5 boxed toothpicks]

You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 5 silver coins, 2 delicious ramen noodles, and 5 fried chicken legs.

You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 8 silver coins, 15 copper coins, 10 pickled mustard greens, and 1 x 550 ml orange juice.

You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 2 Gold Coins and 1 Self-Heating Hot Pot.

You opened the wooden treasure chest and received: 1 silver coin, 1 large spicy pork rib, and 1 KFC family bucket meal.

【you……】

Chen An opened all eight remaining treasure chests at once.

There are many miscellaneous things.

But their value generally exceeds two gold coins.

One treasure chest even yielded 50 silver coins, earning 3 gold coins in one go!

Of course, the most valuable items are all kinds of cooked food.

Chen An discovered that the wooden treasure chests had a very high probability of containing food.

"It smells so good, I can't resist it."

The egret kept swallowing its saliva after washing its hands.

She's been in this world for three days now, and she hasn't even had a proper meal, let alone eaten meat.

They barely managed to stay full by eating just one piece of bread a day.

Jiang Lai, Wang Ziyan, and the other girls swallowed hard, staring at the cooked food on the table.

Delicious braised chicken, bright red and spicy pork ribs, and steaming hot ramen...

These foods, which are quite common on Earth, are extremely rare in this world.

"Lin Luxi, and Jiang Lai, you two come and eat first."

Chen An called out.

"You're so sweet, darling!"

Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, and she leaned in to give Chen An a big kiss.

Then she turned back and gave the egret a smug look before taking out chopsticks from the pots and pans and starting to eat.

"Honey, I want some too."

Bai Lu clung to Chen An's arm, deliberately rubbing against his bulging chest, and then said in a soft, coquettish voice, "After I'm full, darling, you can eat me, right?"

"Hmph! You vixen! You think you can get away with just acting cute?"

Jiang Lai ate the meat, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Chen An letting her sit at the table first showed that he valued her more.

How can a mere vixen who just joined the room compare to me?

I am Chen An's first woman!

Chen An ignored the coquettish egret and instead looked at Lin Luxi, who was still standing at the door with her head down, and said, "Lin Luxi, I don't need to treat you to meals again, do I?"

"Um, I... I'll wait until you guys finish eating before I eat..."

Lin Luxi answered timidly and hesitantly.

She didn't even dare to look up at Chen An.

"No need to wait for them. You risked your life to get a gift package for me today, so you are a hero and deserve better treatment."

As Chen An spoke, he simply got out of bed and pulled Lin Luxi to the table to eat.

As a homeowner, you must be clear about rewards and punishments.

If a resident makes a significant contribution, then they should be rewarded.

As for Jiang Lai, her contributions were no less than Lin Luxi's.

After all, she sold several hundred crossbows, earning several hundred gold coins, several thousand silver coins, and a lot of other miscellaneous supplies.

In short, she managed the transactions very well, without wasting resources or being lazy or shirking responsibility.

That deserves a reward.

Rewards are essential for motivation.

"Eating only meat is too greasy, let's have some cola."

Chen An took out three 550ml bottles of cola from a box in the corner.

This was obtained from a previous gift pack.

Meat paired with a carbohydrate-rich drink is delicious.

This is what life is all about.

"Mmm, this chicken tastes really good. It's even more delicious than the authentic braised chicken I've had before."

Chen An chewed on the chicken, somewhat amazed.

The taste is absolutely amazing.

One bite, and the unique aroma of meat explodes in your mouth.
