200: Then I'll call you Feifei/Tunjin Supermarket Discount Coupon
It was too late today, and the supplies from both bases hadn't been sorted yet, so Director Ning told everyone to rest where they were and depart tomorrow morning.
Jiang Fei took Zhou Wanqing back to the RV, preparing to have dinner together.
“Wan Qing!”
Xiao Chuxia joyfully hugged Zhou Wanqing: “How are you here?”
“I came to trade with the Fierce Tiger Base, and I met the Boss halfway.”
Zhou Wanqing told Xiao Chuxia everything that had happened that evening.
Learning that Zhou Wanqing still had brothers outside, Xiao Chuxia curiously asked: “So you’ve joined a private base now?”
“You could say that. I’m the Second Leader in Taisong City.” Zhou Wanqing glanced guiltily at Jiang Fei, who was washing vegetables, and lowered her voice a few shades:
“When we were in Huaiyuan Village, my people didn’t recognize the Boss and attacked her.”
She later killed the few who had luckily escaped back.
Jiang Fei was startled.
Fate truly is marvelous.
Xiao Chuxia continued chatting with Zhou Wanqing, while Lu Yu went to help Jiang Fei cook.
He wasn't good at cooking, but his knife skills were excellent, so he took on all the chopping.
Seeing the two standing together, their arms almost touching, Zhou Wanqing couldn't sit still.
That stinky man should stay away from her Benefactor!
“Boss, Chu Xia and I will help you. It’ll be faster with three people.”
Zhou Wanqing, with a sweet smile, squeezed Lu Yu aside and took the spot next to Jiang Fei.
“Brother Lu, you’ve been driving all day, go rest. Leave this to us.”
Lu Yu’s brow furrowed slightly.
That strange feeling of being targeted by Zhou Wanqing had reappeared.
Seeing Zhou Wanqing reach for his kitchen knife and a potato, Lu Yu picked up the wooden cutting board and dodged.
“It’s hard to cut potatoes into identical fine shreds. You can’t control the thickness well, so let me do it.”
Jiang Fei agreed: “Lu Yu’s knife skills are good, let him cut.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanqing could only give up.
When she returned to Taisong City this time, she would practice shredding every day!
Unable to get the chopping task, Zhou Wanqing handed Jiang Fei seasonings and plates instead.
Xiao Chuxia washed the other ingredients.
The RV’s kitchen was already small, and now with four people standing in it, Jiang Fei had trouble turning around, so she simply kicked Lu Yu and the others out.
No one should stay and just get in the way!
In less than an hour, Jiang Fei had prepared two meat and two vegetable dishes.
Black pepper beef, sweet and sour pork loin, shredded potatoes with bell peppers, and garlic broccoli.
Everyone went to get their own bowls and rice.
Zhou Wanqing picked up a piece of broccoli and ate it, her eyes narrowing in satisfaction: “It’s been so long since I’ve eaten the Boss’s cooking.”
“The Boss’s cooking is still so amazing!”
Jiang Fei: “You’re not working for me anymore, so you don’t need to call me Boss. You can call me by my name.”
“Then I’ll call you Fei Fei.” Zhou Wanqing shyly lowered her head.
Fei Fei, it sounds so intimate!
It was just a name, Jiang Fei didn't mind.
It was better than Dao Rong’s Mother Jiang!
After dinner, Xiao Chuxia asked: “Wan Qing, do you have a place to sleep?”
“Yes, I usually sleep in the car or pitch a tent outside.”
Xiao Chuxia was no longer worried and didn't insist on Zhou Wanqing staying the night.
Reluctantly bidding farewell to Jiang Fei, Zhou Wanqing left the RV to meet up with her brothers.
Halfway there, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
There was only one bed in the car, how would her Benefactor and the other two sleep?!
Zhou Wanqing rushed back immediately.
The RV’s lights were already off, and the window curtains were drawn.
Unable to see inside, and not wanting to disturb her Benefactor’s rest, Zhou Wanqing anxiously circled the RV twice.
Then she remembered seeing blackout curtains in the car, and that the RV’s sofa could be used as a bed, so Zhou Wanqing relaxed and comforted herself.
Her Benefactor would absolutely not sleep with that stinky man.
Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sleep with the soft Chu Xia?
—
The next day.
The Comrades had sorted the supplies from both bases.
Besides abundant food, bottled drinking water, antibiotics, daily necessities, protective equipment, and other supplies, there were also 8 cargo trucks.
All the supplies were loaded onto the official large trucks, exactly 5 of them.
Xu Qianyao found a few Comrades and had them drive the large trucks back to the Safety Shelter to deliver the goods, then return to rejoin the team.
The remaining people were left for Jiang Fei to arrange.
Thinking of gold, Jiang Fei ate a quick biscuit and then led the Comrades to the next small base.
Zhou Wanqing and her people also followed Jiang Fei.
For bases with conflicts, they would stir up disputes, acting as mantis-stalking orioles, picking up leftovers and finishing them off.
For those without conflicts, Jiang Fei would infiltrate the base alone, with the Comrades providing support outside, launching a late-night sneak attack.
The retrieved supplies would be split nine-to-one between the officials and Zhou Wanqing.
Jiang Fei, meanwhile, would secretly collect gold and any useful supplies for herself beforehand.
The Comrades who had gone to deliver goods earlier rejoined the team, and a new batch was dispatched to deliver goods back to the Safety Shelter.
Watching one vehicle after another return, and then sending off truckloads of supplies, Director Ning went from initial hesitation to now actively discussing with Jiang Fei every day which notorious private base to raid next.
At the same time, the team did not stop advancing.
They swept through areas while heading towards the capital.
This day.
Having just dealt with a small base, Jiang Fei, before the Comrades arrived, went to the supply storage area to look for gold.
System: [Ding — Detected gold: 2,680,500 grams]
[Ding — Congratulations to Host for successfully unlocking the first area of the 5th floor of the Gold Swallowing Supermarket [Paper Products & Home Cleaning Area A]. Gold required to unlock the next area: 262,144,000 grams]
[Bonus reward: One lucky roulette spin. Does Host wish to use it?]
Jiang Fei wasn't in a hurry to use it, finding a corner to wait, and first used her consciousness to check the newly unlocked 5th floor.
One-third of the white mist had disappeared directly.
In its place were 20 extra-long double-sided large shelves.
10 shelves held core toilet paper, coreless toilet paper, facial tissues, pocket tissues, wet toilet paper, baby wipes, pure water wipes, alcohol wipes, kitchen paper towels, degreasing wipes, lotion tissues, and other paper products and wet wipes.
Various brands, including high, medium, and low-end.
The other 10 shelves contained dish soap, laundry detergent, laundry pods, fabric softener, washing powder, underwear cleaner, toilet cleaner, floor cleaner, pipe unclogger, fruit and vegetable wash salt, and other household cleaning products.
Similarly, all sorts of brands that would have been seen before the apocalypse.
She wouldn’t have to worry about daily necessities anymore!
Jiang Fei was very satisfied with the new area and called the system to use the lucky roulette.
After a familiar tune ended.
[Ding — In life, it’s inevitable that not everything goes smoothly. Please do not be discouraged, Host. You have received a “discount coupon.”]
A gold-colored piece of paper appeared in Jiang Fei’s hand, with the seven large characters “Gold Swallowing Supermarket Discount Coupon” printed on the front.
The back had two small lines of text.
“Thank you for your long-term support of the Gold Swallowing Supermarket. As a token of our gratitude, we are offering a discount coupon. With this coupon, you can enjoy a 90% discount on gold.”
[Small tip: Host can use this discount coupon to reduce the amount of gold required to unlock the next area and re-apply the multiplier.]
[This discount coupon is for Host’s exclusive use. Please do not give it to others~]
Jiang Fei’s breathing hitched.
Supermarket, you’re finally not ripping me off anymore!!!
“I want to use the discount coupon!”
[Ding — Discount coupon used successfully!]
[Gold required to unlock 5th floor, second area: 26,214,400 grams]
[Current gold owned: 1 gram]
The total instantly had a zero removed, and Jiang Fei’s heart blossomed with joy.
A mere twenty-something million grams of gold, she’d get it by raiding a few more bases!
Jiang Fei’s thoughts were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
The closer they got to the capital, the fewer black-hearted bases there were.
After raiding the last marked base on the map, they only collected a total of 3,890,000 grams of gold.
Hopefully, upon reaching the capital, she could fleece Mo Yan’an for a substantial sum.
Jiang Fei set her sights on Mo Yan’an. Returning to the team, she saw Zhou Wanqing lingering at the RV’s door.
Her head was drooping, looking dejected.
“What’s wrong?”
