Qi Wanyi stayed busy until nearly midnight before finally finishing all the dishes. She portioned them out into disposable meal boxes and delivered them to each person one by one.
The disposable meal boxes refreshed every day, so there was no need to worry about using too many.
This meal was truly sumptuous! It was another showcase of Qi Wanyi's culinary skills!
She not only meticulously prepared every dish but also patiently plated every single one!
Ai Lin, who was eating a proper meal for the first time since the apocalypse began, was speechless: "!!!"
She felt like she had struck gold!
She would soon realize that she had indeed struck gold.
Xinxue and Liang Shanbo were just as happy, wishing their leader could pick up new people every single day!
Some were happy, while others were sad.
Cheng Shuili sighed silently. The drop rate for the Golden Rice Bowl was still too low; she hadn't heard a "Stamina +1" notification in a long time.
And then there were the attribute potions—their drop rates were also abysmal.
She was still holding a lead, but if she kept standing still like this, that might not be the case for long.
But as for low drop rates...
Cheng Shuili turned to look at the two empty Simple Hunting Traps in her cargo area. Who could have worse luck than those two things?
Among the batch she had processed for others previously, quite a few people had called the Crow a scammer, though a very small number of lucky ones had indeed caught something and thanked the Crow in the regional channel.
Only after confirming that these people weren't plants did the complainers shut their mouths.
Who could she blame for her own bad luck?
Cheng Shuili had to admit that her luck might not be all that great either.
After lunch, Cheng Shuili silently climbed into the driver's cab. Moving forward was the only way—only by moving forward could she get what she wanted!
The first harvest of the afternoon was a wooden supply crate containing a tube of toothpaste.
Cheng Shuili hadn't finished the toothpaste from the eight-piece home care set yet, so she just set this one aside.
She trotted back to her electric shopping cart and, once settled in the driver's seat, saw a familiar patch of buildings in the distance.
A side road connected to that complex: it was the beastman town!
The last time she saw it, the place was covered in white snow, but now it had entered summer along with the disasters faced by the players.
Cheng Shuili slammed the accelerator to the floor, then hit the brakes hard, bringing the electric shopping cart to a steady stop at the intersection.
Just like last time, there were no beastman guards at the gate.
Cheng Shuili wasn't a first-timer anymore; she could consider herself experienced now.
She cleared some space for supplies in the Abyss Ring, hung her weapons at her waist, and once everything was ready, she pushed open the door to enter the beastman town!
Cheng Shuili had a clear goal this time. The socially anxious leopard beastman from last time hadn't wanted to cooperate, but it should be fine this time, right?
Even if he still refused to cooperate, Cheng Shuili had enough capital this time!
Earning a few thousand game coins would be a piece of cake!
Even now, not many people could enter the beastman town. Most lacked an identity card and couldn't obtain the Beastman's Proof, so even if they triggered the beastman town, they could only watch from afar.
Full of anticipation and with a clear goal, Cheng Shuili headed straight for Bao Chi's Bakery!
On the way, she encountered two familiar faces and gave the two beastmen a warm smile.
Lang An: "!!!"
Xiong Gu: "!!!"
That terrifying human was back!
The two brothers exchanged a glance; the tragic experience from last time was still fresh in their minds!
But with the flu currently rampant in the beastman town, their task was to ensure that every human entering had a normal body temperature to prevent the disease from spreading further.
In other words, they absolutely had to interact with this human again!
Lang An remained silent for a moment before looking at his good brother beside him. "You go. I'll take the next one."
Xiong Gu wasn't stupid. He might be a bit slow, but under the intimidation of this terrifying human, his brain had been working much faster than before!
"What next one? Lang An, you're trying to screw me over again!"
It was a pure accusation!
Seeing that he had caught on, Lang An didn't intend to argue further. The task had to be completed, and they didn't dare not to...
Then there was only...
Dear Chief! Your subordinates are truly powerless!
Cheng Shuili didn't know what these two strange beastmen were talking about.
Every time she came, these two were weird. She was beginning to suspect that only strange beastmen could become police officers here.
Seeing that the two beastmen had no intention of blocking her, she walked straight across the road to find Bao Chi's Bakery.
Before she even entered, another wave of sweet bread aroma washed over her.
Cheng Shuili was already full, but smelling the aroma, her mouth uncontrollably began to salivate.
It was too fragrant—truly too fragrant!
How could there be something this fragrant in this world!
Cheng Shuili pushed open the glass door. Unsurprisingly, the ears behind the counter twitched.
She silently unequipped the Supreme Monarch and swapped to the Noob's Salvation to maintain her vital signs before coughing lightly, trying to soften her voice. "Long time no see."
Cheng Shuili admitted she was trying to get on his good side with that remark!
As long as she could reach a cooperation agreement with this beastman, it would mean a steady stream of game coins!
For the sake of game coins! Flattery was necessary!
Bao Chi carefully poked his head out, his eyes widening slightly once he saw who it was.
He recognized Cheng Shuili. Not many humans came to the bakery, and this big customer who was a bit scary to beastmen was one of a kind—Bao Chi couldn't forget her even if he wanted to!
"Y-you're here..."
The simple words were stuttered out by Bao Chi.
He had known this human would return; this was the result of him practicing diligently in front of the mirror for a long time.
Humans were just too scary for beastmen... sob.
Cheng Shuili, however, was very happy. This was a good sign!
Perhaps the deal would be struck today!
Cheng Shuili didn't rush to extend an invitation. Instead, she put on a show by walking around the shop, praising every piece of bread and pastry Bao Chi had made.
She had originally hoped this would increase the beastman's favorability so he would agree to her request later.
But upon looking, she actually saw something different.
【Magical European Bread】
【Description: The masterpiece of bread master Bao Chi! Did you smell that soul-captivating aroma? Did this scent hook you into entering this bakery? That's right! It is the source of that aroma, the top-tier work of bread master Bao Chi! Of course, the price is also top-tier! The taste and scent are both first-class, and it has a magical ability: it can increase your attribute points.】
Cheng Shuili: "!!!"
This was the thing that hadn't finished baking last time!
It could actually increase attribute points!
Since the bakery could produce such items, did that mean other shops would produce such magical items as well?
Like the shop where she bought the Golden Rice Bowl.
