I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 295 Shop
Although this residential area was newly built, in a short period of time, many shops suddenly appeared around it.

These shop owners are clearly not locals from Motown, and it's not just their appearance that's different.

Black hair, black eyes.

More importantly, their demeanor didn't give off an air of superiority.

He greets everyone with a smile, trying to entice people to come in and buy things.

Even if you accidentally bump into the goods, the shop owner won't yell at you; instead, they'll warmly invite you to try them first.

"Try it first, then buy it! It's delicious and inexpensive!"

"Steamed buns, smelling delicious!"

"Clearance Sale! 10 pieces of clothing for just 1 silver coin! You won't regret it!"

As soon as you enter this street, you'll hear all sorts of shouts and calls.

Little Jar had always lived in the village and had never seen such a lively scene before.

His eyes were glued to the screen, looking here and there, he was too busy to keep up.

Chad led him to a shop. "This is a general store. When your sister comes back, have her take you here to browse and buy some daily necessities."

The shop's name is very simple: "Motown General Store".

The shop is small and inconspicuous.

But Chad had seen this morning that someone, relying on their connections in the city lord's mansion, wanted to come here to collect money, euphemistically called protection money.

But not long after, he was arrested by the guards.

No, they don't call themselves a guard team; they call themselves "urban management officers."

The shop owner is a young woman, which may be why others thought they could get a good deal.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a brick wall.

Chad even suspected that the shop was connected to the new city lord.

The two people stood at the door and exchanged a few words.

Just then, the female shop owner came out. "Gentlemen, would you like to buy something? You can come and have a look at our general store."

Chad and Jarl were just passing by when they casually gave them a few words of advice.

But since the female shop owner personally greeted him, he was also curious to see who this shop owner was.

As soon as he entered, little Jar was drawn to the dazzling array of goods.

The layout here is strange; the goods aren't behind the counter, but rather casually placed on the shelves.

The female shop owner pointed to the baskets by the door, "These are shopping baskets. You can put whatever you want to buy in the baskets and pay at the same time."

Chad discovered that the female shop owner was different from the people outside.

He had no smile on his face, but he wasn't serious at all; he exuded a capable aura.

This further solidified Chad's suspicion that the store manager was no ordinary person.

Chad was very curious about these goods, but unfortunately, he didn't have much money on him.

In the end, all they bought for little Jiaer was a bag of beef jerky.

Little Jarl was small and thin due to malnutrition.

Chad had always wanted to feed him more meat so he could grow taller.

Even Chad, who's always been a hothead, felt a little embarrassed after buying just one thing.

But the store manager didn't show any unusual expression and calmly processed their payment.

Seeing that the store manager seemed to have a good temper, Little Jar couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, what if someone steals something?"

There used to be a small grocery store in their village, run by the village chief.

Some people in the village are bold enough to steal things at night.

Actually, the man had no choice; he was just too hungry.

But later he was caught by the village chief, beaten severely, and thrown out of the village.

This left a psychological scar on Jarl.

His older sister was also teaching him, "Our family is poor, but we can't steal things."

But Chad's brother disagreed, saying, "The village chief is so rich, yet he sells things at such high prices. He deserves to be stolen."

My sister didn't see Richard for several days because of this.

To their surprise, little Jarl was deeply impressed by the incident. It wasn't until he saw this peculiar general store that he couldn't help but ask the question.

To be fair, aside from being a bit thin and short, Jarrett Jr. has very cute features.

At that moment, he stared straight at the store manager, his eyes flashing with inexplicable emotions.

The female shop owner was not surprised at all by this question.

She smiled at little Jarl for the first time, saying, "If someone steals something, it will be detected as soon as they get to the door, and then..."

"Beep beep-"

Suddenly, strange noises rang out in the store.

Little Jar was startled and immediately grabbed Chad's clothes.

At the doorway, a man was also startled.

The shop door, which should have been open, was immediately closed, trapping him inside.

The store manager walked towards him and said, "Hand over your goods, or I'll call the city management officers."

The man's expression changed drastically. "Wh-what?"

The store manager didn't waste any more words with him and directly called someone over.

The man tried to struggle to escape, but the store manager knocked him down in one fell swoop.

Chad felt a pang of pain just looking at that swift and decisive move.

On the contrary, little Jarl's eyes sparkled as he looked on.

Although my older sister is also very capable, she can't take down a grown man in one go.

Little Jar is so envious of this store manager, he really wants to be as strong as her!
The city management officers arrived quickly, searched the man, found the goods, and returned them to the store manager.

The store manager's face softened; "Thank you for your help again."

The urban management officer was a tall man, but he had a bright smile.

"It's no trouble at all. The work is easy and I can earn money. I love it!"

The two didn't talk much. After the city management officers took the man away, they paraded him through the streets while warning other people.

"The city lord's newly enacted law stipulates that thieves must pay double the compensation and also perform a month of mandatory labor!"

The problem was solved, and the shop owner reopened the door.

"Thieves will never leave this store."

Chad and Jarl now truly believe it.

However, Chad was more interested in the new laws promulgated by the city lord.

Because he still needs to attend an interview, as he wants to work in the judicial department.

"Little Jar, I have something to do and can't take you sightseeing. Here are 20 copper coins. Take them and buy whatever you want."

Little Jarl was already used to it; his brother Chad was always busy.

He waved obediently, "Brother Chad, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be home in a bit."

Chad rushed out the door, leaving little Jarl behind.

But he was already used to it; children from poor families mature early.

Little Jar was even planning to buy something soft for his grandmother.

Grandma is old and has bad teeth, so she can't bite hard things.

But he didn't know what to buy.

So he looked at the female shopkeeper and said, "Sister, I want to buy something for my grandma, but I only have 20 copper coins. Can you help me choose one?"

Although Little Jar's clothes were washed very clean, the quality of the clothes was very poor, clearly indicating that he was a child from a poor family.

The female shop owner softened her heart and said, "Call me Sister Wang, and I'll help you choose."

Who wouldn't like a good-looking and filial child?
She quickly picked out a bag of sponge cakes for little Jar, saying, "These are soft, easy to eat, and very sweet."

Smelling the sweet aroma, Little Jar couldn't help but swallow.

Sugar is a luxury for families like theirs.

These kinds of pastries are simply unaffordable.

After seeing Little Jar off, the store manager received a message from a friend.

"Yunyun?"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"
