183: Lu Yu Old Ox

Jiang Fei pushed Lu Yu into the room and closed the door to 301.

Lu Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he inexplicably grew nervous.

Suddenly, a card was placed in his hand.

Before he could even make out its contents, the scene before Lu Yu's eyes changed dramatically.

He stood at the entrance of a large Supermarket.

The glass doors were wide open, and he could clearly see the dazzling array of goods inside.

Lu Yu pursed his lips tightly, his worldview seemingly collapsing and rebuilding.

His neighbor... in an instant, brought him to this unfamiliar place?

"This is my Supermarket space."

Jiang Fei led Lu Yu into the Supermarket, introducing each floor to him.

When he saw the mini fountain pool shaped like a gold ingot on the third floor, Lu Yu's expression became subtle.

It was a bit ugly.

But he couldn't say that to the owner's face; it would be impolite.

After touring the Supermarket's interior, Jiang Fei then took him to the warehouse.

Finally, they arrived at the planting area outside the Supermarket.

Lu Yu's gaze swept across it, seeing a planting garden, an orchard, a medicinal garden, wheat fields, rice paddies, and even large ponds in the distance.

Each area was meticulously organized, and the crops were thriving, prompting Lu Yu to finally speak:

"Did you do all of this by yourself?"

Jiang Fei nodded proudly: "This was originally an empty plot of land with nothing, and I changed it little by little."

"Before, I couldn't bring anyone in or out of the Supermarket, so I had to do all the work myself. Now that I have a membership card, I can bring people in."

Jiang Fei briefly explained to Lu Yu the rules for upgrading and unlocking the Gold Swallowing Supermarket.

Lu Yu understood quickly, raising the golden VIP membership card in his hand: "If I hadn't taken the card, would I have been forcibly kicked out?"

"I don't know, so I came to you to test it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu returned the membership card to Jiang Fei for the experiment.

Almost the moment he lost the membership card, Lu Yu felt a powerful and irresistible force coming towards him.

His vision suddenly went black.

When his sight returned, he was already standing in his own living room.

Immediately after, Jiang Fei appeared out of thin air.

She gave the membership card back to Lu Yu and then brought him into the Supermarket again.

"It seems that for the temporary membership card mode, it must be carried at all times. If you don't hold the card, the Supermarket will forcibly kick you out."

Lu Yu was a bit curious: "Can Da Huang and Oldest and Second also come in?"

"Yes, the first time I used Da Huang for the experiment, I placed the membership card on his back."

Jiang Fei cleared her throat, her gaze unusually evasive: "My Supermarket warehouse has agricultural machinery. Do you want to try farming?"

She sought out Lu Yu for two reasons: firstly, he was currently the only one in the team who knew about the Gold Swallowing Supermarket's existence and could help her with experiments.

Secondly, she wanted to find a tool-person to help with the work.

Two old oxen were always better than one!

Lu Yu was not stupid; he immediately understood Jiang Fei's meaning and cooperatively said: "I haven't tried farming yet. If you don't mind me being a novice, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Let's go, I'll teach you how to use the agricultural machinery." Jiang Fei immediately pulled Lu Yu to the Supermarket warehouse, afraid he might change his mind.

The new old ox, Lu Yu, learned very quickly. In less than two hours, he had mastered all the methods of using the agricultural machinery.

Jiang Fei unceremoniously assigned him tasks: "The rice and wheat need to be harvested. Use the tractor to transport them to the warehouse."

"Don't touch the vegetables and fruits in the planting garden and orchard. When they ripen, the Supermarket will automatically collect them. We just need to plant new ones in the empty spaces."

"If you're hungry or thirsty, the Supermarket warehouse has ready-made meals and drinking water."

"Crops produced by the Supermarket can eliminate fatigue and restore energy. If you feel tired, you can go to the fields and pick fresh fruits and vegetables to eat."

Lu Yu noted everything down.

No wonder he felt refreshed every time he ate the meals his neighbor cooked.

It turned out to be because of the Supermarket's magical crops.

Seeing Jiang Fei's trusting demeanor, Lu Yu teased:

"Aren't you afraid I'll leak information about the Supermarket?"

Knowing that Lu Yu was joking, Jiang Fei feigned seriousness:

"Then I'll lock you in here forever and make you a free laborer for life."

Lu Yu chuckled, but a strange longing inexplicably rose in his heart.

It seemed... being locked in the Supermarket by his neighbor wasn't so bad?

Driving the harvester, Lu Yu went to the wheat field to harvest wheat.

The membership card was in his pants pocket.

At first, his operation was a bit clumsy and slow, but he quickly got familiar with the machine and harvested faster and faster.

Confirming that the tool-person was fine, Jiang Fei confidently used the previously built stove to boil the herbal medicine packets Director Ning had given her.

The boiled medicinal soup was dark, and Jiang Fei went to the Supermarket warehouse to find 5 disposable paper cups.

It was just enough for 5 cups.

After drinking her share, she took one to Lu Yu, and then Jiang Fei exited the Supermarket with one cup of medicinal soup.

The remaining two cups were left on the stove, intending to retrieve them later with her mind.

Lu Yu, meanwhile, stayed in the Supermarket to work.

If Jiang Fei didn't bring him out, he couldn't leave the Supermarket.

This was because the temporary membership card mode also had a 'lock' function to prevent people in the Supermarket from intentionally throwing away the card to force an exit.

She arrived at 305 and knocked on the door.

Su Liuyuan opened the door, holding a walkie-talkie, still chatting with Ling Zhaorui.

"Brother, wait a few minutes for me, the captain is here."

"Director Ning gave me medicine, he said it can prevent the virus."

Jiang Fei handed the paper cup to Su Liuyuan, who took it and drank it in one gulp.

The medicinal soup wasn't very bitter; instead, it had a special fragrance.

"This taste isn't bad. I thought something so dark would be as bitter as Coptis..."

Seeing Su Liuyuan start his rambling mode, Jiang Fei quickly helped him close the door.

Let him chat with Ling Zhaorui!

She also dispelled the idea of making Su Liuyuan her old ox.

She couldn't imagine how many words this guy would say if he entered the Supermarket.

Jiang Fei returned to 302, put on her protective gear, and went to 201 in Building 5.

In the hallway, she took out two bags of dried fruit and two cups of medicinal soup.

The dried fruit bags hung on her wrist, and she held a paper cup in each hand.

Unable to knock with her hands, Jiang Fei was about to use her foot when the door to 201 opened.

Xu Qianyao, wearing a mask and goggles, held a packet of similar kraft paper medicine.

Clearly, their thoughts were the same: they wanted to give medicine to their friends.

"I came to bring you and Grandma Xu medicinal soup, and also the dried fruit Grandma loves to eat."

"What a coincidence, I just received the herbal medicine packet from Xiao Ma and was about to bring it to you." Xu Qianyao smiled, took the paper cup, and stepped aside to let Jiang Fei in.

"Let's talk for a bit about Shang Guangwang."

Jiang Fei placed the dried fruits and roasted goods she brought on the coffee table in the living room.

Old Mrs. Xu was both helpless and warm-hearted: "You girl, you always bring things every time you come."

"You sit, Grandma will go make you some noodles."

"No need, I'm not hungry." Jiang Fei politely declined Old Mrs. Xu's offer.

"Then you two chat, Grandma won't disturb you."

After pouring Jiang Fei a glass of water, Old Mrs. Xu returned to her bedroom.

Xu Qianyao: "Shang Guangwang is dead. That day, I led a team to arrest him, but he refused to confess and even opened fire, trying to kill me, so I shot him dead on the spot."

"I followed Director Ning's order and hung his body in the most conspicuous place in the Safety Shelter, and set up a loudspeaker to broadcast his crimes on a loop all day."

"Li Shan and One-Eyed Dragon are locked up together and will be executed this month. Director Ning said that Huaiyuan Village's involvement in spreading the virus is an unforgivable crime, and they will not be treated leniently."

At this point, Xu Qianyao chuckled: "The position of Patrol Team General Captain is vacant. Are you interested in taking it?"

"Director Ning said that as long as you agree, you'll be promoted on the same day."

Jiang Fei decisively refused: "No."

"I'm perfectly fine as a temporary worker."

If it weren't for the sake of openly carrying a gun and being able to know important news immediately, she wouldn't even be a temporary worker.

Running a shop, farming, and trying every possible way to earn gold to unlock the Supermarket was already tiring enough.

No matter what Xu Qianyao said, Jiang Fei remained unmoved.

Xu Qianyao had no choice but to give up.

After chatting with Old Mrs. Xu for a while, Jiang Fei left.

She didn't go home but got into the truck parked downstairs, took out a batch of vegetables, fruits, and supplies, put them in the truck bed, and prepared to send them to Xiao Chuxia along with the herbal medicine packets.

After showing her Rescue Team ID to the soldier guarding the back door, Jiang Fei had just driven a short distance when someone suddenly darted out from the side and blocked the truck with their body.
