Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 78: The Shop is Hot
"Hiss~! Am I in...a hospital?"
"Hey! Lie down!"
Sister Xia gently straightened Xiao Wang up . She didn't dare to use force and break his bones again.
After all, he is a senior first-level power-type extraordinary person.
"Hiss~! The old man was really cruel. I'm still dizzy now. " Xiao Wang blinked hard, but still couldn't see clearly. "Could it be that my optic nerve was shattered and I'm blind?"
"No, Gang gave you some medicine to drink. You just need to do some head therapy. Don't compete with others in brain-blasting in the future. It's the end of the world, and you still have the mind to play this? I think it's because Boss Shen let you guys eat too much. You are so bloated! Don't move your heads!"
A female doctor scolded him while putting a head therapy device on him. "Ah! It feels so good~!"
Xiao Wang felt a warm feeling coming to his head, and the dizziness symptoms just now were immediately relieved a lot.
"What's your name? Xiao Wang?"
"Hey! Why are you cursing? My name is Wang Qiyi!"
"Pfft! Qiyi? Isn't it still eight? Hello, Wangba! Yes, I'm older than you, so I still call you Xiaowang?"
"Ha! You are a superhuman, I won't argue with you!"
Wang Qiyi also felt that he was not suitable to talk nonsense in this situation. The 199 brain explosions today were caused by the old man's nonsense this morning. "Hiss! This old man is really harmful!"
Sister Xia smiled when she heard this: "A blessing in disguise! Your 199 brain explosions were not in vain!"
"Um?"
Wang Qiyi has partially recovered his vision, and he is a little dazed at the moment, "What's wrong? Do you want to know what the surprise is?" Sister Xia couldn't help but tell this lucky boy that because of his final acceptance of punishment and kindness, Boss Shen Jin not only did not punish him, but also arranged a good position for him.
"Sister, you are so beautiful, just like the goddess in my dreams~!"
Xiao Wang found that Sister Xia, who was sitting beside the bed, was gentle and charming, and exuded an indescribable temptation. I was so stupid. Why didn't I realize that the female superhuman guarding the door was so beautiful before? She was his favorite sister type, and she was also a superhuman...
As we all know, female extraordinary people = rich women.
"You...what are you talking about!" Sister Xia suddenly blushed, "Well...when you recover, go report to Mr. Wang from the Human Resources Department. I'm leaving!"
"Sister, which department are you in? I'll go and thank you in person when I get better!"
"Heal your concussion first!" Sister Xia's voice came from outside. Just when Wang Qiyi felt regretful, he suddenly heard a mumbling voice from downstairs: "Luckily you came today. The people from Team 1 yesterday would have beaten you up. The people on duty from Team 3 tomorrow will not be easy to deal with either!"
"Oh, this! I understand, sister!" Wang Qi smiled. At this moment, he was somewhat grateful to the old man.
"What do you know! I didn't say anything!" Sister Xia walked away with a blush.
…
The changes brought about by this currency issuance are still continuing to ferment. The people in No. 1 Home have gradually figured out the ins and outs of the entire monetary system, and have a clear understanding of the value of the coins in their hands with Shen Jin's portrait printed on them. 1 small Shen Jin = 1 jin of grain, 1 medium Shen Jin = 100 ml of cooking oil/5 jin of grain, 1 large Shen Jin = 1 energy crystal core/10 jin of grain.
The functions of the seven major buildings in the inner city are already clear. The weapon shop and armor shop sell the craftsman soul equipment made by Shen Jin. The quality ranges from the lowest flint material to high-grade pig iron material, and the price also gradually increases.
The value of weapons and armor, which was previously unquantifiable, is now completely priced through Home Coins. All kinds of things are sold in grocery stores, similar to the original department stores. The most popular item today is pork. Although those slices of pork are fresh meat, they have not been stored in the cold storage for long. Thanks to the original backup power system of the warehouse, they are well preserved and look great.
Although the price of 15 yuan per pound is prohibitive for most people, there are still many people who are willing to spend a few dollars, cut two taels of meat, and reward themselves with a meat dish. In the end times, living in the moment and enjoying the little things has become the motto of most people.
The grocery store also sells a lot of electronic products, including a full range of mobile phones of various brands. The prices are not expensive, ranging from 5 yuan per unit to more than ten or twenty yuan per unit.
The value of this thing is far less than pork, but it is indispensable in Home No. 1, because there is a local area network covering most of the base, there is a place to charge, mobile phones can communicate with others, share resources, lying in bed at night to watch a movie and wipe away tears, reading a novel and feeling the life, reading some "study materials" and wiping tears for your brother, these are all great things.
Nights like this make many people dream of returning to the civilized life before the apocalypse. By the way, grocery stores also sell computers, which are very expensive, and the price fluctuates a lot depending on the configuration. A computer that can run "Red Alert" and "CS" smoothly only costs a few dozen yuan, while a computer that can play "Cyberpunk 2077" costs thousands of yuan.
Now a demonic wind has arisen in Home No. 1!
This is what Shen Jin said. Many people have become addicted to Civilization VI. The configuration requirements of this game are not high, and it can be played by multiple people online. Even if someone is suddenly busy, the computer will automatically replace him, and other people can also take his place at any time to continue the game. "It must be Li Moxiao who did it! She just doesn't like me not playing Civilization VI with her, so she urged everyone in the base to play games with her at night!"
Shen Jin talked to Li Moxiao about this matter, and she finally responded with a very philosophical remark, "The popularity of a game does not depend on who its initiator is, but on whether it meets market demand!"
Shen Jin was speechless. After the grocery store opened today, many people with some assets went to the recycling station to sell some things. With a huge sum of more than 100 yuan in their hands, they directly asked for a computer that could run "Civilization 6" smoothly. They used to hear about the happy time every night for people who had computers, and they were very jealous. They didn't have a choice before... But now they want to be a "Civilization" player. A group of people lined up to buy computers in the grocery store, and the computer installers who were once ridiculed as useless now had smiles on their faces.
Among all the shops, grocery stores and recycling stations have the most people. Daily necessities and resource stores have become the best choices for many survivors, while clothing stores and new energy vehicle stores are relatively deserted. The former is because they have been in business for a long time and everyone has "clothing cards" in their hands that can still be spent. Moreover, the demand for clothes is not rigid nowadays, and there are more places to spend money.
As for new energy vehicle stores, they can’t afford it because… the unit price is too high.
Most of the cars here were picked up and repaired by the extraordinary people from various places in the base in the past two months. Later, a batch of buses were put into the underground passages and a batch of buses were put into the ground. The rest, except for those occasionally used by the extraordinary people, can all be sold. One of Shang Qian's subordinates also designed a set of vehicle certificates for the cars in No. 1 Home to prove the buyer's legal ownership of the car. What is it like to own a car in the end times?
At least in the No. 1 Home Base, cars are very convenient. The base covers an area of 130 square kilometers, and it is very fast to go out. However, cars are not very necessary. There are many shared bicycles and shared trams on the street that no one wants. You can charge them directly with a charger. Speaking of charging...
Shen Jin's new energy vehicles now use wireless charging technology. As long as the car is driven to a fixed position, it will be charged quickly, and the charging speed is extremely fast!
It is even more powerful than the fast charging before the end of the world. It takes about half an hour to fully charge a car with an effective driving range of 300km. This is thanks to the upgraded version of the various power storage boxes in Shenjin Industrial Module - the charging stand.
Currently, the device with the largest power consumption is the [MFE charging station], which has a reserve of 400,000 kWh of power. Shen Jin only needs to put it in a location, run underground wires to connect it to the wind turbine to ensure a continuous supply of power, and then it can be used as a fixed charging point.
So, if you buy a car in No. 1 Home, there will be a wireless charging station on the road, which is more convenient than before the end of the world!
Meng San is mainly in charge of this store. Many pseudo-supernormal people have come to see it today, but no orders have been placed yet. After all, it is too expensive. A new energy electric car that cost about 60,000 yuan before the end of the world is now sold for 1,000 Home Coins.
It’s not that no one can afford it, it’s just… let’s wait and see.
At this time, the only "store" in the entire inner city that was open to customers but had no fees was also open...
