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

[You have used 3 room expansion blueprints, deducting 30 gold coins. Your room has increased by 9 square meters. Please select the expansion direction.]

Gold coins were deducted from the backpack.

Chen An closed his eyes, and a virtual image of the room appeared in his mind.

With a thought, one can choose the direction to expand the area.

"That's amazing..."

Although this wasn't the first time the room had been expanded, it felt amazing to be able to control it with just my mind.

It gives you the feeling of being God, in control of everything.

Although this feeling was confined to this small 15-square-meter room...

Immediately afterwards, Chen An selected the direction of the entrance to expand the space.

There needs to be space left at the entrance, otherwise the bed will be right there as soon as you enter, which is too cramped.

With the addition of 9 square meters, the entire room suddenly became much more spacious.

The original 15-square-meter room has been enlarged to 24 square meters.

"Not bad, at least it looks like a room now."

Chen An looked around the spacious room and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

The cramped and oppressive feeling is finally gone.

"It cost 30 gold coins to expand this little bit of space, that's expensive."

"It's not so bad. On Earth, one square meter would cost more than 10,000 yuan."

"Indeed, I wouldn't have dared to even think about buying a house before."

Jiang Lai and Wang Ziyan sighed with emotion.

Chen An, however, looked at the control panel.

A notification suddenly popped up on his screen.

Your room comfort level +6

Current comfort level: 36

"Has the comfort level increased?"

Chen An was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the egret on the toilet.

"Meow? Darling wants it again?"

The egret blinked and asked with a grin.

As she spoke, she deliberately straightened up.

"shameless!"

Jiang Lai and Wang Ziyan blushed.

"Don't be reckless."

Although Chen An hesitated slightly, he firmly refused.

I have things to do today, so I can't indulge in women.

He turned and picked up the window blueprints, thinking to himself, "So it seems the reason I didn't increase the comfort level when I took in the egret last night was because the space was too small."

"Therefore, we cannot improve comfort by blindly recruiting tenants; the size of the rooms and the furniture also need to be improved."

Thinking about it, Chen An looked at the blueprints for the absolutely defensive window.

[Materials are available. Shall we use the drawings?]

【whether】

"Yes."

Chen An clicked to use.

15 gold coins deducted.

An 8-minute countdown appeared on the window.

"I've already spent 45 gold coins in such a short time. Sure enough, the higher the level, the more terrifying the resources required for upgrading."

Chen An also felt a little sorry for him.

Fortunately, he still had more than 1,600 gold coins.

but.

Bai Lu, that flirtatious woman, will soon have her talent upgraded, but it will cost quite a bit.

Yes, not just egrets.

And then there's Jiang Lai's talent.

[Upgrade requirements for compound interest: 100 gold coins, 200 gold coin interest (already completed), and completion of a designated task]

[Designated Task: Earn 500 gold through the trading platform. Current Progress: 0/500]

Earning 200 in interest is too easy.

but.

Earning 500 gold coins from the trading platform is a bit difficult.

But not many.

After all, they had plenty of supplies.

Repeating crossbows, in particular, are currently in high demand.

"Jiang Lai, sell more supplies today, complete your assigned tasks, and then upgrade your talent to level 2 and see the effect," Chen An said to Jiang Lai.

If level 2 compound interest can increase interest, then spending 100 gold coins to upgrade her talent is not a loss.

Even if it can't increase interest rates, it should at least provide some feedback.

Surely it can't just be a simple upgrade, right?

"Yeah, I should be able to reach level 2 before tonight." Jiang Lai nodded.

The prices of food and weapons have gone up today, so selling them for 500 gold coins is no problem at all.

Jiang Lai thought for a moment, then asked, "Darling, should we sell the roast chicken?"

"You can sell them, but don't sell too many. It's best to list them as only one available and let them bid. As for the crossbows, bread, and mineral water, you can sell them in large quantities today to recoup your gold coins."

Chen An said.

Why didn't you sell them in larger quantities before?

It's not that they don't want to sell, but because the mall sells bread, the residents simply won't buy it from the trading platform.

Because trading platforms are not only expensive, but also charge taxes, making them not worthwhile at all.

Now that the mall isn't allowing food items to be restocked, they have no choice but to sell in large quantities, making it a perfect time to do so.

"Honey, that's what I think too. We're really on the same wavelength."

Jiang Lai smiled.

She shared the same thought.

Roast chicken is a rare delicacy.

If managed well, we can definitely sell more.

Even if most people are poor.

But the entire survival world is certainly not lacking in people or teams with lots of gold coins.

There must be some people who would be willing to buy roast chicken.

Unsurprisingly.

As soon as Jiang Lai hung the roast chicken up, many people immediately inquired about it, and even the chat room was filled with surprised discussions.

"Wow, someone's selling roast chicken! And it's fresh out of the oven, steaming hot!"

"Huh? Really fresh out of the oven? That's just a gimmick, isn't it? This damned world of eternal night doesn't even have a single animal, how could anyone possibly find a live chicken to slaughter on the spot?"

"Maybe it's some kind of special summoning talent, like my neighbor who can summon goblins."

"You mean this person killed and roasted the beasts they summoned, then listed them for sale on a trading platform? Is that really that outrageous?"

"Some people will do anything for money. Like those trading platforms where female users are selling their own excrement, even claiming it's 'beautiful girl's excrement.' Who the hell would buy that kind of stuff? How disgusting!"

"What?! They sell pretty girls' poop? Let me see."

"Damn, the person upstairs is a real pervert!"

……

The eight-minute countdown has ended.

White light enveloped the windows.

Then it disappeared very quickly.

Then, a window that looked even thicker than before appeared.

Many mysterious runes have appeared on the original iron frame.

The runes shimmered with a faint yellow light, giving them a very mystical appearance.

A window of absolute defense

[Level: 5]

[Durability: 30/30 (30)]

[Effect: Increases defense and always has twice the durability of other units of the same level]

[Decomposable: 1 pieces of reinforced glass]

Upgrade Requirements: 10 Gold Coins, 2 Reinforced Glass, 1 Yellow Runestones

[Introduction: Hehehe, I'm super hard right now!]

"A level 5 window has 30 durability points on its own, plus an additional 30 durability points from its special effect, for a total of 60 durability points, which is actually higher than the durability of a door."

Chen An subconsciously looked towards the door.

Is it a bit absurd that a window is harder than a door?

However, this is for the best.

You won't have to worry about monsters suddenly breaking in through the window when you're sleeping.

"I wonder what effect a level 6 window will have."

Chen An couldn't help but think.

There are no yellow runes available at the moment, so we can only ask Jiang Lai to keep an eye out for acquisitions.

As for now...

While you're at it, upgrade the room door's grade as well.

[Upgrade door requires: 15 Gold Coins, 5 Fine Steel, 1 Red Rune]

[Materials required. Upgrade now?]

Fine steel is extremely rare; it's said to be obtainable only from airdrop packages.

Jiang Lai used seven crossbows and two bottles of toilet water to exchange for five units yesterday.

She wouldn't have replaced the doors if it weren't for the fact that upgrading the doors required high-quality steel.

Chen An didn't feel any heartache.

After all, these kinds of high-grade materials are very rare, so it's normal for them to be a bit expensive.

If most players hadn't yet reached level five or six, these kinds of materials might not have become available.

Just like Chen An, he would never list the reinforced glass from the gift pack on a trading platform.

【12: 59】

【12: 58】

【12...】

An upgrade countdown appeared on the door.

This time it's 13 minutes.

It's been a little long.

"Honey, I want chicken! Give me chicken now!"

The egret, now dressed, came closer.
