Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 510 is over, it's meaningless now.
Sheng Jiu realized she had lost her composure, and smiled at Li Xinyi: "Sorry, I was thinking about some things from the past and couldn't help but laugh. I didn't mean to be dissatisfied with your stuff."

Sheng Jiu's expression was easy to understand, and his gaze was very honest.

Li Xinyi believed her story, turned around, and introduced the various luxury items, such as basketballs and bicycles, that were loaded on their other vehicle.

Bicycles are considered a relatively useful means of transportation in the post-apocalyptic world.

After all, when gasoline and electricity are limited or even unavailable, bicycles are the best option.

Even so, the authorities gritted their teeth and prepared half a car of different models of luxury cars.

This is their accumulated inventory.

Sheng Jiu wasn't very interested in any of this.

Moreover, there aren't many places where these things can be resold.

Li Xinyi noticed that she wasn't very interested, and her heart skipped a beat.

You're not... dissatisfied, are you?
Soon, Sheng Jiu withdrew his gaze and told her about the situation with Sweet Lychee: "The supply can be stable, but the quantity is hard to say. The situation over there is similar to yours. They also have small teams that regularly go on missions and then come out to exchange for supplies."

……

The authorities need the sweet lychee, not only for saving lives but also for research.

They need to know what the core ingredients of this thing are.
Could we use it to develop corresponding drugs or vaccines to solve the problem of zombies and mutated creatures in the apocalypse?
……

After exchanging ideas, everyone sat down at the table again and began negotiations.

Previous exchanges involved exchanging information.

Nowadays, negotiations involve each party offering their own bargaining chips to obtain what they want to the greatest extent possible.

With the system helping her maintain certain boundaries, Sheng Jiu wouldn't back down even if the other party repeatedly tested and pulled her.

The little girl's expression was so easy to understand. After a few conversations with Sheng Jiu, Li Xinyi understood that she had already reached her bottom line and there was no possibility of further reduction.

In fact...

Sheng Jiu is an actress.

She is still young and cannot do it yet, so she often keeps her emotions hidden.

However, it's still acceptable to occasionally unleash a burst of acting talent.

After all, she has two talented actresses, Bo Er and Sun Susu, by her side.

Especially Bo's acting skills, which often fooled Sheng Jiu.

So, given enough time, you should be able to learn even the basics.

Sheng Jiu tried using it today and discovered...

Hey?
Easy to use!

However, she didn't ask for too much; enough was fine.

Sheng Jiu declined the last basketball and bicycle, saying, "I thought that it's inconvenient for you to get around. Whether it's gasoline, diesel, or electricity, it's probably not always available, and you use it sparingly. Bicycles are a more convenient means of transportation, so I won't take them."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinyi was deeply moved.

The talks went much more smoothly.

Finally, they emptied Sheng Jiu's stash of grain, vegetables, and sweet lychees.

There are only two bags left of sweet lychees, a total of eight lychees.

Not only that, they also ate one of Sheng Jiu's meals.

Of course, it was Sheng Jiu who was willing and took the initiative to invite him.

That's an amazing amount of food!

These people seem to think that once they finish this meal, they don't care about tomorrow.

Sheng Jiu saw with her own eyes that one of them had a belly so big and round that Sheng Jiu was afraid he would burst!
Li Xinyi seemed to sense Sheng Jiu's worry and quickly explained with a smile, "He's an ability user. He'll need to clear the way back, which will be very taxing. It's alright." Sheng Jiu felt slightly relieved after hearing this.

The food in her shop is safe and hygienic. If someone were to die from overeating in her shop, where would she go to seek justice?

Because there was so much stuff, even though Li Xinyi and Xu Shengnan had a lot of people with them, they still spent the whole day busy.

As it was getting dark, they loaded the last of their belongings into the car, said goodbye to Sheng Jiu, and hurriedly drove away.

The post-apocalyptic wilderness at night is still extremely dangerous.

So they have to get back quickly!
However, some who live far away are temporarily unable to return to their own bases and can only stay at Xu Shengnan's base for the time being.

Watching them leave, Sheng Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief.

She hadn't had a moment's rest all day, and only now could she catch her breath a little.

Through his previous conversations with Xu Shengnan and Li Xinyi, Sheng Jiu learned something.

That means the previous North City base is gone.

Yes, the entire base is gone.

After the Guo family incident, irreconcilable conflicts arose within their ranks.

After internal strife broke out at the top, the oppressed people at the bottom were constantly looking for opportunities and a way out.

The moment the two sides clashed, the authorities seized the opportunity and took control of the North City base.

Today, the North City Base has been renamed: Official Base No. 39.

With the government taking over, the lives of ordinary people are relatively better compared to the previous management of the North City Base.

Those with superpowers can also be somewhat restrained, preventing them from committing evil deeds at will.

Many bases don't want to be incorporated by the authorities, simply because they feel their superpowers are too strong and they don't want to be restricted.

However, this is the general trend, and it is estimated that no one can escape it in the end.

Sheng Jiu speculated that Xu Shengnan's declaration of loyalty was probably a gesture of goodwill towards the authorities.

If they can't escape being incorporated in the end, given their previous goodwill, the incorporation process will probably be smoother, and they might even get some benefits.
When Sheng Jiu sat down to rest, he casually asked Lin Duo about his former teammates.

Those people seemed hesitant to speak several times today, but after the supplies arrived, they started moving things around and didn't have time to bother Lin Duo anymore.

They didn't get to speak today, and when they left, their faces were filled with all sorts of complicated expressions.

Sheng Jiu was unsure of Lin Duo's thoughts and wanted to ask him.

Lin Duo stayed by Sheng Jiu's side all day, remaining on high alert at all times.

Even though they knew the small business owner had ways to protect himself, those people all possessed special abilities and were not to be trifled with.

He needs to be more vigilant!

When Sheng Jiu asked this question, Lin Duo paused for a moment before replying, "They're all people from the past now. Whether they were good or bad, it doesn't matter anymore."

He wanted to look forward; he wanted to integrate into a completely new life.

Therefore, people from the past are not that important.

He had helped those people a lot in the past, and when he was being schemed against by Guo Ruyi, they searched for him in a passive manner, which could be considered as repaying the debt of saving him in the past.

Lin Duo didn't want to dwell on the gains and losses in between.

Having decided to completely sever ties with the past, Lin Duo will no longer yearn for the world and people of the past.

Hearing Lin Duo speak a long sentence, Sheng Jiu was quite pleased: "You should talk more. Look how well you've practiced now. The more you talk, the better your tongue will become."
