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

"That sly fox is actually quite clever."

Jiang Lai also heard what was happening in the hallway.

Although she disliked egrets very much.

However, it must be admitted that egrets have a great talent for management.

Or perhaps, she had planned this all along.

But no matter what, the fox's abilities are indeed unexpected.

Chen An nodded silently.

There's no need to worry that Egret will ruin the team.

Judging from her performance just now, her management skills are no worse than Li Jia's.

This splitting maneuver, in particular, was brilliant.

It can both motivate residents to work and create a hierarchy among them, making them compete and check each other.

They only focus all their energy on internal strife and have no intention of forming an alliance.

Even if there are those who want to betray us, the residents of this floor will be the first to take action.

Those who become team captains are especially likely to be the first to act.

They didn't act for Chen An's sake; they acted for themselves.

Only if Chen An lives can their power be stable and they be able to obtain benefits.

"No wonder she asked me before if I was afraid the residents would unite; she probably already had the idea of ​​dividing them at that time..."

Chen An thought to himself.

It turns out that Bailu wasn't a stupid woman after all.

On the contrary, she is a very intelligent woman.

I might invest more in her in the future.

It would be better if Bailu could replace Li Jia.

Although Li Jia is intelligent, he is, after all, an outsider.

It's difficult to gain Chen An's complete trust.

Even though Bailu likes to take advantage of small things and has long harbored ambitions to seize power, she is a resident and, more importantly, her own woman.

Naturally, he is more trustworthy than Li Jia.

"That vixen is truly my nemesis!"

Seeing the change in Chen An's expression, Jiang Lai became even more vigilant.

That sly fox has already gained power.

If she were to achieve something significant again, she might really steal her older sister's position!

No!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Jiang Lai's eyes darted around as she pondered how to make Chen An value her more.

Although she also holds considerable financial power over the team and has a certain degree of influence.

But it's still not safe enough.

"Honey, I remember your Frost Overlord skill can create ice out of thin air. So, can we use the ice you create to sell ice water? If the ice water is drinkable, it will definitely sell better than toilet water," Jiang Lai suggested.

She wanted to develop Chen An's skills.

This way you can earn more coins.

That shows she has a good eye.

"Um, that works too."

Chen An did not refuse.

Anyway, it's perfectly safe inside the room, so there's no need to worry even if you use up all your stamina with a skill.

Chen An first made a small piece of ice, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and tasted it.

There is no odor.

It can be eaten, and it can also be dissolved in water.

"It can be sold."

"I'll make some ice blocks now, and you can list them on the trading platform."

As Chen An spoke, he raised his hand and began to make it.

He can create ice cubes of any size and shape based on the ideas in his mind.

This skill is indeed convenient.

It can not only be used in combat, but also in daily life.

Chen An made the ice blocks into ice strips about ten centimeters long.

This way, it can be eaten directly like popsicles, and even poorer residents can afford it.

"I'll lower the price a bit first to grab more market share. Anyway, we're making huge profits with no investment, so we're not afraid of losing money."

As Jiang Lai spoke, she began to put ice pops on the shelves.

"Hmm," Chen An replied casually, and then frantically started making ice.

An ice pop takes up about half of his energy.

With his full energy, he can make two hundred ice pops in one go.

Even if an ice pop can only be sold for a few silver coins, or even just one silver coin.

That's a full two hundred silver coins!

That's 20 gold coins!

That's absolutely outrageous!

Moreover, Chen An's room can restore nearly 100 stamina points per hour, which can make ice almost 24 hours a day!

Moreover, the resources for ice-making are different from those for talent rewards.

It has no upper limit, is sustainably produced, and there is no such thing as running out.

Looking at it this way, selling iced water really is a risk-free and highly profitable business.

Especially given the current scarcity of water resources and the obvious upward trend in prices, they are even easier to sell.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen An was surprised.

Holy crap, this is absolutely unbeatable!

The process of making ice is a bit tedious and boring.

It also requires a bit of concentration, otherwise the resulting icicles will not be well-shaped and will easily be thick at one end and thin at the other.

"Wow, these ice pops are selling like hotcakes! They're practically sold out the moment they're listed! Nobody even tries to bargain!"

Jiang Lai stared at the trading platform and exclaimed in surprise.

To be fair, the prices they sell are indeed much cheaper compared to the water currently sold on trading platforms.

Those residents with the talent to make water also sell water, but 100 milliliters of water costs two or three silver coins, and the more unscrupulous ones can sell it for five silver coins.

Therefore, their ice pops are very competitive.

"Then all my hard work won't have been in vain."

Chen An nodded, and several more icicles took shape.

Feeling a bit bored, he casually opened the panel and started making ice while checking how to upgrade Teacher Bai's talent.

[Group Sharing (lv1): You can select a target as a designated target, and then share the damage or buffs received by that target with other targets within 30 meters. The more targets you select for sharing, the smaller the proportion of damage and buffs received by the designated target. If there is only one shared target, the sharing effect is 50%.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 300 Gold Coins, 30 instances of effective damage or effective buffs, current progress: 330, and completion of a designated task (Note: the designated task will be automatically triggered upon completion of the first two tasks)]

"Effective damage or buff? The key point is the word 'effective'."

Chen An seemed to be deep in thought.

How can I tell if something is effective?

It's estimated that it only counts during combat.

For example, Bai Mengjie previously helped Lin Luxi share the damage twice, one of which was fatal.

Both instances are highly likely to be valid sharing.

Otherwise, if it were possible to refresh without actually refreshing, there wouldn't be only three valid refreshes so far.

Turn off the panel.

Chen An then casually opened the community chat room.

He originally wanted to relieve his boredom, but when he saw what the residents were talking about, his expression suddenly became serious, and he even stopped making ice and started to read it carefully.

"Damn! This fake human is terrifying! It's even scarier than the No-Face!"

"Your feeling is correct, because the pseudo-humans are evolving, and evolving very quickly! A few hours ago, the pseudo-humans I encountered had very stiff movements and expressions, they would only smile at people, and they walked awkwardly. But just now, the pseudo-human I killed actually spoke! And its expression wasn't stiff at all!"

"Hiss! It's evolved this terrifyingly in just a few hours? If it continues for a few more hours, won't it become exactly like a real person?!"

"I suspect that the pseudo-humans might have been observing our facial expressions and behaviors, which is why they were able to evolve so quickly..."

"A fake human? What's a fake human? I just woke up a little late, but it feels like I missed a game version?"

"Just some fake humans. I killed three of them all by myself just now."

"DM me if you need information about fake people, guaranteed authentic!"
