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

"My dear, the residents have all agreed to use one gold coin to replenish their arrows, and they are very grateful for our generosity."

Bai Lu casually turned off the panel and looked at Chen An to report.

"Um."

Chen An responded with satisfaction and told Jiang Lai to prepare to collect the debt.

"Um, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that everyone else had something to do while she was idle, Bai Mengjie took the initiative to ask.

Chen An thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Bai, you can put the crossbows that are out of arrows back into your backpack later. Then I'll give you some crossbows. Take out the bolts and distribute them evenly."

This handicraft work was originally supposed to be done by Jiang Lai.

However, Jiang Lai had to be in charge of both transactions and planning the contribution point system, so she simply couldn't spare the time.

"Okay, sure."

Although Bai Mengjie didn't know why the crossbow bolts had to be packed separately, she was happy to do her part for the room.

Chen An leaned against the soft bed, looking at the door bathed in white light, and said thoughtfully, "I still don't have enough guests in my room. I can screen them later and pick a few who are pretty and talented..."

Appearance is also important.

After all, looking at beautiful women makes you feel good.

at the same time.

A white light enveloped the room, signifying the door upgrade was complete.

[Reverse Damage Door]

[Level: 7]

[Durability: 90/90]

[Effect: Reflects 30% of the damage dealt by the target back to the user]

[Can be disassembled: 20 Iron Blocks, 3 Red Runestones]

Upgrade Requirements: 60 Gold Coins, 5 Red Runes

[Introduction: Master, master, I want to keep upgrading! I want to be even tougher than that broken window!]

"90 durability points, and the rebound rate has been increased to 30%, awesome!"

Chen An smiled.

At this upgrade pace, you should be able to reach a rebound rate of 100% around level 15!

At that time, whether it's a monster or a human, anyone who dares to attack his door will suffer the same amount of damage!

Trying to break down the door?

You should first consider whether you can take a beating!

but.

What caught Chen An's attention even more was the description at the bottom of the door.

They actually claimed the door was harder than the window, and even called the window a broken window...

Wait, could it be that these pieces of furniture also have consciousness and thought?

"That's impossible. Furniture is inanimate; how could it have consciousness?"

Chen An was also a little unsure.

Since we can't communicate with the furniture, everything is just speculation.

In short, let's get down to business first.

Through the surveillance footage, he saw that more than a dozen people had already gathered at the entrance.

People continued to come up in the hallway.

Business has come knocking on our door.

"Go open the door."

Chen An gestured to the egret.

Next, the transaction began.

Replenishing the arrows only costs one gold coin, so the residents don't feel like they're losing out.

Chen An didn't feel he was at a loss.

After all, the empty crossbows that have been recovered can be put on the trading platform for sale as long as a few bolts are added.

The average price is still over 4 gold coins, which is absolutely fantastic.

However, in addition to replenishing their arrows, many new residents have also applied to join the team and want to buy repeating crossbows on credit.

Chen An's team has already made a name for itself.

Although its fame is limited to this building, it is still quite well-known.

After working for four or five hours, no residents finally came in.

"Honey, I just counted, and our team has already surpassed a thousand people!"

Before Bai Lu could even turn off the control panel, she excitedly hugged Chen An's neck and gave him a passionate kiss.

This woman expresses her joy in a simple and direct way.

"To be precise, it's 1236 people."

Jiang Lai glared at Bai Lu, gritted her teeth, and pulled her away unhappily.

"Oh dear, my sister is so jealous!"

The egret licked its lips, its face still bearing that same grinning expression.

"Hmph! Don't waste time! Didn't you say you were going to go out of the neighborhood to kill monsters? Hurry up and go!" Jiang Lai snorted.

"I should at least feed my sister before we go out; my satiety level has already dropped to 60."

Hearing Bai Lu's words, Jiang Lai took out a few loaves of bread and two bottles of water from her backpack and said, "Take these and eat. Once you're full, take your people and go earn resources."

"Hmm, dear sister, you're letting your little sister eat this?"

The egret accepted the bread and bottled water, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This is way too obvious.

"You just ate meat this morning, so have a vegetarian lunch to save on supplies. Although we have supplies, we can't waste them."

Jiang Lai said expressionlessly.

She did it on purpose.

Unless Chen An intervenes, this vixen will have to learn the consequences of disrespecting her, her elder sister!

By this time, Chen An had already eaten and drunk his fill.

He is putting on a bulletproof vest.

He was also getting ready to go out.

With over a thousand underlings, plus Teacher Bai's shared talent protection, and Bai Lu's God's-eye view... the security is off the charts.

Of course, Chen An himself is also quite capable.

His Frost Domination skill is both offensive and defensive, and most people would be no match for him in a head-on confrontation.

Chen An was merely cautious, not naive.

"Alright. Get the members downstairs to assemble as soon as possible. We need to leave the community to fight monsters while the residents in the other buildings are still fighting off the monster invasion," Chen An said after putting on his gear.

With the size of their team and their weaponry, they should be in no real danger as long as they don't provoke a large number of monsters in the city center.

Only by having the residents defeat more monsters can they earn gold coins to pay off their debts.

They now owe me over four thousand gold coins.

"Yes, I also sent messages to Wang Ziyan and Lin Luxi, asking them to come downstairs together."

The egret said excitedly.

This time, I can bring more than a thousand people with me.

He can command over a thousand people!

This is what it feels like to be in power!

When Chen An and his group arrived downstairs.

There were many people in the lobby on the first floor.

Even from the dark exterior of the building, one could vaguely see densely packed human figures.

More than 1,200 people!

That's an absolutely terrifying number!

"Boss, sister-in-law!"

When everyone in the hall saw Chen An and Bai Lu, they all greeted them in unison.

Most of them were residents of the ninth floor and also the captains of their respective teams, so they naturally respected Chen An.

"Okay, from now on, Egret will take charge. You don't need to worry about me."

Chen An glanced at everyone and said.

have to say.

It feels nice to be surrounded by people.

But he didn't get carried away; he wouldn't casually expose himself to strangers.

It's okay to show off a little in the building.

After all, this building is already his territory, so it's very safe.

But once you're outside, you must be careful.

To avoid being ambushed by someone with special talents.

"Sister-in-law."

All the team leaders obediently looked at Bai Lu.

They also respected the egrets, after all, it was the egrets who made them the captains and allowed them to manage dozens of people.

Bai Lu nodded in response and then said, "First of all, I want to remind you that there are some monsters called 'pseudo-humans' outside the community today. They are good at disguising themselves, so before you leave the community later, you must arrange for the people in your respective teams to be in groups of five and stay close to people they know, so as to prevent the pseudo-humans from sneaking in."

"clear!"

The team leaders responded seriously.

Even the fake people learned some things through the messages in the chat room.

That's really insidious.
