Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 11 This New Year... is so delicious! (Part 1)
"Today is February 11th, the first New Year's Eve of the apocalypse after the outbreak of the zombie virus. The No. 1 home base built by Xiao Shen is full of festive atmosphere, which makes me feel very comfortable. The last time I celebrated the Spring Festival was before I went abroad to study... Dad, Mom, your daughter misses you a little bit!"
Shang Qian closed the small black notebook she used to record her life experiences. She looked out the window and saw the survivors who had not yet moved out living happily in the inner city of Home No. 1. "This place... must be one of the few bases full of health and order in the apocalypse. Compared to the government bases, this is more humane!"
Shang Qian found a financial team of 10 people in the survivor area yesterday . The person in charge was a middle-aged woman who used to work in the central bank. The first time Shang Qian saw her, she read the story in this woman's eyes. Maybe it was because she had too much contact or too much experience after the apocalypse, she seemed particularly indifferent. She did not ask about the salary and gladly accepted the job.
Shang Qian likes to communicate with smart people, and the smartest thing to do is not to ask about salary. This woman knows that the highest salary she can get is... the trust of the helmsmen of Home No. 1. In this doomsday where personal power is highlighted, the trust of the strong is much better than food, shelter, clothing and other things.
Her name is Li Wen, and Shang Qian calls her Sister Wen.
“Boom boom boom~!”
Shen Jin knocked on the door a few times and walked directly into Shang Qian's office with a smug smile on his face. Shang Qian had just seen this smile yesterday when Shen Jin talked about using crystal cores as circulating currency. She said it very tactfully at the time, but... she thought that Shen Jin really had no brains for economic development, and what he could think of was no different from the barrage gods on the websites before the end of the world, with the single word "taken for granted" being the most obvious.
"Hey~! Xiao Qianqian, today is New Year's Eve~! Do you want to have a special New Year's Eve?"
"Uh...you're so direct now? Don't you like the unruly ones?"
Shang Qian originally thought that Shen Jin was going to show off something, but he did it right away. She smiled meaningfully, "It seems that we still had... some extra food yesterday?"
"Uh... ahem, just kidding. I have something serious to talk to you about. The New Year is coming, and I'm going to give you a holiday gift that will greatly improve your strength. Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Do you like it? "
“Oh, I like it!”
Shang Qian took out another small black notebook and started flipping through it.
Shen Jin: (×゜ー゜×)
"So perfunctory?"
"After such a long time of exploration, I have determined that I am not a combat talent. Instead of spending energy to improve my own strength, it is better to make this base better for you. For me, solving the currency issuance problem is much more exciting than improving my strength!"
Shang Qian had a serious look on her face. She was not the kind of person who pursued strength. Her special ability had no attack power. When she needed to use it, she would just eat Shen Jin's carrots.
"Are you... sure?"
Shen Jin took out a bottle of [Intermediate Supernatural Power Enhancement Potion], and Shang Qian suddenly felt an impulse from the supernatural power itself...
10 minutes later, Shang Qian's eyes flashed all over the base with excitement, "Wow! I've become a second-level extraordinary! This strength... this speed... this ability... and my mind feels clearer!"
"So this is the second-level transcendent? Love it!"
"What are you standing there for? Hold my hand and travel with me. I feel like my travel distance has doubled!"
Shang Qian's face was filled with two words: It smells so good!
It seems that she has forgotten who the business woman who was trying to promote economic development was.
Shen Jin rejected Shang Qian's invitation to experiment with supernatural powers. As a generous boss, he wanted to bring happiness to more people...
Li Moxiao's bedroom is decorated in her favorite kawaii style. Shen Jin specially moved his treasured crystal figurine cabinet here. It can not only hold figurines, but also emit light, so that people can feel the texture on each exquisite figurine through the halo. The little niece is really a stay-at-home now. Shen Jin wants to write a book for her, called: "The Most Stable Way to Eat at Home in the Last Days"
Except for eating, she would stay in the house. Occasionally, she would sneak into Shen Jin's bedroom late at night, lift his quilt, and directly... find the snacks that Shen Jin had stored, and then eat them with relish. She could always use her intuition to find the snacks that Shen Jin had hidden, and then eat them all. Of course, she didn't know that Shen Jin did it on purpose...
"Ahem, are you playing?"
Shen Jin walked behind Li Moxiao with a USB flash drive in his hand, just like when he met her just now. He didn't expect that the girl who looked sloppy originally turned out to be inexplicably beautiful after washing. Her long white legs swayed, which could be compared to the female Bodhisattvas in some professions. Apart from being a "belt player", the little niece was still quite pleasing to the eye.
"Ah, come on, I'll teach you how to play Civilization VI! I've recently researched the leader Hammurabi, and this country is really strong. I can even beat a prince-level computer! Isn't it strong?"
Shen Jin looked at Li Moxiao, who was waiting for praise with a smug look on his face, as if he saw himself showing off to Shang Qian yesterday...
"If I remember correctly... the Prince level is of normal difficulty, right?"
"yes!"
Li Moxiao looked as if it was a matter of course. Shen Jin remembered that she had been able to beat the easiest "Pioneer Difficulty" before and was speechless for a moment. "That's indeed... an improvement. By the way, don't play Civilization anymore. I found a good game for you, called "Male Ketone Journey"
"Hmm???" Li Moxiao showed a vigilant look on her face. She had heard from Shang Qian that some people in the world are very perverted. Although the big hentai always likes to look at other people's belts, but... she will be his sooner or later, and she can't let him mess around!
"Why are you looking at me like that! This is a saying from before the apocalypse. Actually, this game is called It Takes Two. It was a mandatory two-player game that was very popular on Steam. Everyone had to find a playmate to play with. You know... there were very few internet-addicted girls like you. This couple game was forcibly turned into a male ketone game for a bunch of men to pair up with each other by stupid netizens. It is said that many boys at that time disliked their girlfriends' poor playing skills and specifically looked for boys to play with them. Hahaha~!"
"Oh...I see. Have you ever played with a man?"
"Ahem! I've only heard of it, but never played it. The main reason is that the comments section at the time was so interesting that I paid special attention to it for a long time. I'll look for it for you..."
This game was obtained from a master in the base that Shen Jin found. He specializes in offline electronic content, including movies, TV series, games, "learning materials", etc. Shen Jin is also a frequent customer of his store. This master's skills are very strong. He can restore some records that were once offline from the computer. Among them, the comment area of the steam game was also restored by him from the computer of an old otaku. Li Moxiao looked unconcerned: "I don't believe there is a more fun game than "Civilization 6"! Two-player game, it sounds very childish. The last two-player game I played was Tank Battle, which made me laugh to death!"
"Found it! Let's read the comments first..."
Shen Jin opened the offline [Comment area for couples]: "Others: couples, I: men."
"I cleared the level three times for the girl I was playing with, and she finally agreed to be my girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend, I just found a good brother to play with. Now I'm getting ready to get married, please bless me!"
"The game is good, but the only downside is that my friend and girlfriend got into a fight just to play with me. Now my friend and girlfriend are no longer friends. It's awesome!"
"It's so fun! I finally finished the game after changing 2 girlfriends!"
“It’s a good game, but I have no friends to play it with. I had to kneel down in front of my roommate for 2 hours before he agreed to play with me!”
"It's a great game. My roommate knelt down for a long time just to get me to play with him!"
"I used to say to my girlfriend: If you do your housework well, I will give you lipstick. Now my girlfriend says to me: If you finish your housework and then give me lipstick, I will play with you!"
"Boys who want to experience it, please contact me immediately and I'll take you there for free. Girls? I'll give you two punches, you're useless!"
Li Moxiao's face was full of surprise, but also a little bit of expectation, "Is this game really so fun? They are so... hardworking just to play it?"
The little niece had a shy face. She was tall and slim, with black hair, jade-like skin, and beautiful eyes. Her beautiful appearance made people feel pity. Shen Jin suddenly understood the thoughts of those who were obsessed with faces and legs. He moved his mind and quietly leaned close to Li Moxiao's pink ear and said, "Before playing games, uncle would like to buy you something good to drink..."
Li Moxiao felt an itch behind her ears, and she replied in a slightly trembling voice: "What...what good stuff?"
"It's the yogurt-flavored [energy serum] you've always wanted to drink."
"Ah! This..." Li Moxiao was a little disappointed.
5 minutes later...
Li Moxiao poured out the last drop of medicine in the bottle, licked it into his mouth with his playful little tongue, and showed a look of enjoyment .
"Hmm...it tastes good, but it doesn't have much effect. I want another bottle!"
Shen Jin walked out of the room: "【Energy Serum】 can strengthen your physical fitness. Drinking it once a month is enough. Don't say that drinking one bottle has no effect. I don't believe it anymore!"
Last month, Li Moxiao used the excuse that one bottle of [Energy Serum] had no effect and bought three bottles just to experience the taste of yogurt.
This bottle requires 10 energy crystal cores!
Can it be drunk as yogurt?
After Shen Jin left, Li Moxiao, who had originally disdained two-player games, found Miao Shubai on the LAN communication software "Feem", "Come to my place quickly, the new game is ready, the female ketones are ready, waiting for you to fight!"
She looked so excited, as if she had forgotten who the childish internet-addicted girl was who disliked the two-player game.
