While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Xiao Jie smiled gently at her, then pulled out paper and pen from somewhere and walked up to Ji Zhoubai.

Ji Zhoubai thought he should order more ridiculously expensive lobster and abalone to replenish his funds.

Luo Ning spoke up from the side, "Each person is limited to five meat dishes, five vegetable dishes, five staple foods, two desserts, and three bowls of soup per visit. Currently, the meat dishes only include chicken, duck, goose, fish, pork, beef, and mutton. Vegetable dishes can be specified, but don't blame me if there are no ingredients available. The desserts and soups are up to the vendors to decide."

Ji Zhoubai complained, "You just said we could order our own food, but now there are so many restrictions. You heartless business owner."

Luo Ning spread his hands and shrugged. "There's nothing we can do. The conditions are what they are. Do you think this is still before the apocalypse, with such abundant resources where you can eat whatever you want?"

I'll definitely stick to what I have on hand. Otherwise, if you want to eat lobster, abalone, or sea cucumber, where am I supposed to get it for you?

Actually, Luoning also has lobster, abalone, and sea cucumber, but not in large quantities, so she definitely wants to keep them for herself.

It's not advisable to waste it now. If she can raise them on a large scale in the future, then she can produce some in limited quantities.

Ji Zhoubai gritted his teeth. "That shrewd businesswoman, Luo Ning! She just said we could order food, but now that we've paid the deposit, she's denying it and even stating an objective fact that I can't refute."

If he insists on eating lobster and abalone, she'll definitely ask him to pay more.

Thinking of his own wallet, Ji Zhoubai gritted his teeth and ordered items from the limited selection.

"Spicy chicken, salted duck, cumin lamb chops, spicy braised beef, stir-fried pork..."

As Ji Zhoubai was talking, he started to get hungry, so Luo Ning quickly interrupted him.

"Alright, that's enough for the five meat dishes. We welcome you to visit us again next time."

"Why are there only five dishes? Couldn't you have ordered more?"

Ji Zhoubai wanted to order more, but he wasn't sure if these dishes would be enough for him to eat for three days.

With such high delivery fees, he might not be willing to pay next time.

Luo Ning shook his head. "No, all the rules of this shop are decided by the shop owner, which means I."

Ji Zhou glared at her with sparks in her eyes, but Luo Ning remained unmoved and spoke with a smile.

Are there any dietary restrictions regarding vegetarian dishes?

"No, you can make the vegetarian dishes yourself." Ji Zhoubai turned around, really not wanting to see her smug look.

Luo Ning's eyes crinkled with laughter; she was practically a little business genius.

500 second-order crystal cores were easily placed into the tent.

I patted 123's head. It's not her fault. Who told her to have so many money-devouring beasts to raise?

The members of the digital group are all big consumers of crystal cores. All the crystal cores in her bracelet were painstakingly saved up in her previous life, and in such a short time, these few have already consumed a lot of them.

She felt so sorry for her that she couldn't bear to use many of her high-level abilities to enhance them, thinking she would only use them when she encountered a bottleneck.

But as soon as she took it out, those little brats snatched it up. She had clearly taken it out to show off to them.

When the others who arrived later saw this, they all clutched their pockets.

They ate so much during the time they were on the mission with the boss.

I hope the big boss won't settle scores with them too!

They don't have that many crystal cores, and they're unwilling to spend that many crystal cores on food.

Luo Ning waved to them, "What brings you all here?"

The group walked over stiffly. "We've come to see you off, boss. What are you guys doing here? It looks like a big commotion, ha... haha..."

Luo Ning looked at them in confusion. How could they have become so incoherent after just a short time apart?

"Since you're doing business, there are a lot of rich people in your base. Why don't you come and have some? You've eaten Xiao Jie's cooking before; it's delicious."

Luo Ning waved the notebook in Xiao Jie's hand.

The five people from the payment company quickly waved their hands, "No, no, boss, no need, we don't like to eat, we don't like to eat."

"Yes, I don't like it." Shen Yi was on the verge of tears. No one had told him that the food he used to eat was so expensive. He should have eaten more if he had known.

Zhou Jibai did have some ideas, but then he thought about the number of crystal cores he had.

He coughed lightly, deciding to save the energy to enhance his abilities. After all, there were energy bars and nutrient solutions at the base; he wouldn't starve even if he didn't eat them.

"Alright!"

Luo Ning put away her notebook, wondering when she would study weapons and such.

Liang Xiao seems quite interested in things like the upgraded guns, cars, and helicopters from version 123; I wonder if he'll be able to sell them later.

Ji Zhoubai left after paying the deposit. He was afraid he would regret it if he didn't leave, as Luo Ning always managed to scrape all the crystal cores off him.

After buying the groceries, he only had two low-level crystal cores left in his bracelet.

He needs to hurry up and go to work to earn money.

"Then I'll head back now."

Luo Ning waved her hand, and Fu Xing and the others immediately realized that they had come to see her off.

"Miss Luo, let us see you out!"

"No need, it's not a long way."

The group insisted on escorting Luo Ning to the base entrance.

Fu Xing specifically stopped Luo Ning and handed her a set of keys.

"Miss Luo, this is what my grandfather asked me to give you."

"What is this?"

Luo Ning looked at the keychain in her hand with a puzzled expression.

"This is the house my grandfather reserved for you at the base."

Luo Ning waved his hand, "I don't want to. I told you, I won't come to the base."

"Don't rush to refuse. If it's given to you, take it. Even if you don't come to the base, it still belongs to you. Your contributions to the base are obvious to all."

Fu Xing understood what his grandfather meant. Besides Miss Luo's own abilities and achievements, his grandfather also genuinely liked her.

Grandpa has three sons and six grandsons. He had always wanted a granddaughter, but that wish had never come true.

Now only he and his grandfather are left in their family. Miss Luo is very similar to the granddaughter his grandfather imagined, and also very similar to the sister he imagined.

He's clever and resourceful, but his family members are all prone to being taken advantage of. His grandfather once said that he wanted a descendant who wouldn't suffer losses.

Even if he had his own selfish motives, he didn't mind; on the contrary, that would allow him to live a better life.

Luo Ning felt the key in her hand was a little hot, even though she considered herself an immoral person.

But she's already taken so many supplies from the government, isn't it a bit inappropriate for her to take a house now?

She knew how scarce government-owned housing was, but it wasn't her style to pass up a good deal.

"Just take it without worry. Although you didn't work for the authorities for nothing, at that time only you could do it. You have no idea how important your appearance was to us and how much loss you prevented."

Besides, without you along the way, we wouldn't have been able to complete the mission so smoothly, let alone return safely with everyone.

Fu Xing continued to persuade him.

Xiao Jie stood at a distance, wondering what the two people over there were talking about. Why did her expression look so troubled, with her eyebrows furrowed like antennas?

Upon hearing Fu Xing's words, Luo Ning put the key into her pocket, winked playfully, and said, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

"There's no need to be so polite. By the way, if you want to come to the base in the future, you can just use your wristband and facial recognition to identify yourself. You can come anytime you want."

Fu Xing looked towards the car door. After spending more than half a month together, he really couldn't bear to part with Miss Luo.
