Their base is far inferior to a safe city.

They don't have their own factories at all.

Household appliances can only be brought in from outside by scavengers, people with supernatural abilities, and trade caravans.

Regardless of their condition, very few of them are even usable.

The poor think these things are useless, but they are hot commodities among the rich.

It can be said that it has a price but no market.

In the secondhand store, Shi Jinwei took out more than ten items at once.

Among them are fine solid wood furniture.

The boss secretly resolved that even if he didn't make a profit, he would still take them all.

Before the end of the world, seven or eight household appliances would cost at least tens of thousands.

Solid wood furniture alone would cost close to ten thousand.

Prices will be much higher after the apocalypse, but unfortunately, the items are brand new and can't be found elsewhere.

After some haggling, the two finally agreed on a price of 40000 contribution points.

Before leaving, the boss reminded Shi Jinwei to remember him if she found any good deals.

He even gave his contact number to Shi Jinwei.

As we left the secondhand shop, it was getting dark, but the market was still bustling with activity.

After thinking about it, she decided to go for a walk first before going to the hotel.

The market had many stalls selling all sorts of things, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air.

"Come and see! These are the mutated plants and beasts we just killed this afternoon. The prices are fair."

"Top-quality mutated animal hides, excellent material for armor. Price negotiable for those interested."

"The mutated mantis's greatsword can be used as a weapon without being forged. Come and take a look!"

"Air purifier filter cartridges, air purifier filter cartridges, clearance sale!"

……

The limbs of many mutated beasts and the remains of many mutated plants were laid out on the ground.

Shi Jinwei saw the two mantis-shaped swords, which were over 1 meter long and dark green in color, and they really looked like cold weapons.

In addition to weapons and filters, they also sell homemade food, daily necessities, and more.

The workmanship is rough, and some are even dilapidated.

It was picked up by a scavenging team.

No one complained here; everyone picked and chose, haggling over prices, creating a lively scene.

According to the old man, the place changes completely after 8 p.m.

This is what is known as the "black market".

You can come and check it out when you're bored.

Thinking this, she turned and walked toward a nearby hotel.

There are no hotels at the base, and only two guesthouses.

This better-equipped room offers multi-person rooms, double rooms, single rooms, and deluxe rooms.

She's not short of money, so naturally she wouldn't compromise herself.

I booked two nights in advance because a deluxe single room costs 100 contribution points per night.

I paid a 100 yuan deposit and followed the waiter upstairs.

Apart from the administrative area and the wealthy area, the other three areas of the base are subject to water and electricity restrictions, with supplies provided on a regular schedule.

Gasoline generators are expensive items, and shops wouldn't offer them to customers.

So the waiters had to lead people upstairs by candlelight.

There are five floors in total, and her room is on the top floor.

When passing the first and second floors, you can still hear voices, but when you get to the third floor, you can hardly hear any sound.

The top floor was completely silent, with all the room doors open.

The waiter was very polite and let Shi Jinwei choose her own room.

Give her the key to whichever room she likes.

Then give her two candles.

「蜡烛用完您可以到前台取,每天免费提供两根,多了收费。水电供应时间就是基地公布的时间,早上6:00-6:30,中午11:00-11:30,晚上18:00-18:30。有其他事你都可以用对讲机喊我们。」

The waiter followed Shi Jinwei into the room and diligently helped light the candles.

He then pointed to the walkie-talkie on the table and showed it to Shi Jinwei: "We've already tuned the channel; you just need to turn it on and use it."

After saying this, seeing that Shi Jinwei had no further questions, he bowed and left.

Even the best hotels don't provide air purifiers.

I closed the door, plugged in the security chain, and looked around the room.

It's about the same size as a double room before the apocalypse, and has a private bathroom.

The bedroom consists of a large bed, a small table, and a chair.

They were all a bit damaged, but they were cleaned fairly well.

The sheets and duvet covers were gray, and in the dim candlelight, it was impossible to tell if they were dirty.

she was

Shi Jinwei didn't dare to ask for too much and first drew the curtains.

They pulled out an emergency light from the space and turned it on, instantly brightening the room.

Then he took out a sleeping bag from his storage space and threw it onto the bed.

I walked around the bathroom with the emergency light and found a large bucket next to the toilet.

It was filled with black sewage.

There was no water in the pipes; presumably, the water was for guests to flush the toilets.

The bathing area is a shower, without bath towels, hand towels, or shower gel.

Guests need to bring their own.

Of course, hotels also offer this service, but it costs money.

She has all of these in her personal space, so she's not worried.

Turn on the air purifier.

Out of caution, I waited a few minutes before removing the gas mask.

After a long day, I didn't want to go downstairs to the black market again.

There's nothing I need to buy. Getting some rest and going out to hunt mutated plants and animals to earn points tomorrow is the real priority.

Thinking this, Shi Jinwei leaned the chair against the door.

I ate a little something and then crawled into my sleeping bag to sleep.

On the second day of the game, she got up early and went to the East District.

The area damaged by the mutated plants yesterday will not be repaired so quickly.

However, since there are earth-type ability users at the base, the surrounding walls, roads leading outside the base, and gates were repaired first.

The authorities sent people inside to slowly repair it.

The only eye-catching thing is a constantly scrolling electronic screen in the small square in the east area.

A large crowd had gathered below the electronic screen.

The bracelet contains information about all of these.

The electronic screen is where the official tasks are posted, and it updates every morning at 6:00.

The task section on the wristband is updated synchronously.

Those who need to accept tasks can check on their wristband or on an electronic screen.

If you think a task is suitable, you can accept it on your wristband.

When a task is assigned, the wristband has an automatic screen recording function. When the task is submitted, the task reviewer will judge the task completion status based on the tasker's video.

If it's an item being submitted, it's even easier to judge.

If you team up, all the videos of all participants will be reviewed before the rewards are calculated.

The typical review time is 24 hours.

Some of the task participants tried to be cunning and even attempted to bribe the inspectors.

I later learned that these reviewers included AI reviewers, human reviewers, and senior reviewers who conducted random checks at the end.

If any oversight is discovered, the individual will be dismissed immediately upon manual review.

Gradually, everyone gave up and focused on completing the task.

Whether Shi Jinwei accepts missions or not has little impact on her hunting of mutated plants and animals.

But taking on tasks can earn you an extra penny, so isn't it better to kill two birds with one stone?

She stood silently to the side and observed.

It was observed that most people participated in group activities, with virtually no lone wolves.

The newly updated tasks mostly involve clearing out mutated plants and animals around the base, as well as purchasing plant and animal materials.

These kinds of tasks can often be done together with hunting missions.

Most tasks have a time limit, and you will lose contribution points if you don't complete them.

Most people are discussing these things.
