My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Since Xiao Liang is an animal and a special member of the supermarket, Shan Nai gave it a stainless steel food bowl for free.

Xiao Liang was obediently squatting by the door eating a big chicken leg, which soon attracted the attention of other customers.

Li Ruizhi just pushed the door open and walked in. His eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Liang. "Oh~ even the strange beasts have submitted to the cat boss's divine power?"

Animal mutations and human awakening of superpowers are different. When a superpower is used, the user is only known to be a superpowered individual. However, when a beast is transformed, its appearance will inevitably change.

Like Xiao Liang, it is quite large and clearly different from ordinary Tibetan foxes.

“That’s right, it’s even a member…” The bald middle-aged man enthusiastically told Li Ruizhi about the origin of this Tibetan fox.

After listening, Li Ruizhi immediately felt that Xiao Liang was different from others and wanted to recruit it into Qinghui Temple. He kept nagging beside it.

But Xiao Liang completely ignored his presence. After finishing the big chicken leg, he obediently carried the rice bowl to the cashier, wagged his tail at Shan Nai, and left.

"Hey~ why did you leave!" Li Ruizhi looked disappointed and could only walk to the cashier to swipe his card at the shower room, intending to take a shower.

"Boss Cat~ Fairy Maiden~ Could you please impart some cultivation experience to me? I am willing to serve you for generations~" Li Ruizhi blinked his sincere big eyes and looked at Shan Nai with great anticipation.

Shan Nai waved her hand, "No, no, no, didn't your master teach you anything? There's no spiritual energy here at all, what's the point of cultivating here..."

As for their masters, even going back dozens of generations, no one had truly entered the realm of cultivation; their identities were merely those of Taoist priests guarding the Qinghui Temple.

Before the end of the world, they made a living by drawing amulets for peace, consulting feng shui for name selection, and performing some rituals.

Li Ruizhi felt that the cat boss wasn't trying to fool him, and he was even more disappointed.

As a modern Taoist priest, Li Ruizhi particularly admired the cultivators in novels. He finally met a mysterious cultivation master, but before he could even ask for his guidance, he was told that there was no spiritual energy in the apocalypse!

"Sigh... I think I'll go take a shower." Li Ruizhi turned and left dejectedly, planning to go out and look for Xiao Liang later.

Li Ruizhi felt that he and it had a strong connection.

"I heard that Taoist priests are now commonly known as charlatans, and they're nothing like they used to be." Shan Nai put Xiao Liang's membership card into the cashier's drawer and muttered a complaint to herself.

"Oh right, I've been forgetting to do the upgraded lottery. Can I do it now?"

"Okay, it's my fault for forgetting these past few days, um..." The system's tone was clearly low, and it didn't seem very happy.

Shannai was quite concerned about it and tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

The system bubble slowly floated out.

[It's not really a difficult problem. Our headquarters held a meeting and announced that the once-in-a-century system host competition has begun... The top three will receive special rewards...]

Shan Nai sat in the boss's chair, propping her chin up with her hand, finding it very interesting. "Hmm, continue. How is the PK? Where is it held? Are there any penalties for losing?"

There's no penalty for losing, and the top three get rewards. The competition involves the host entering a designated scene to earn points, but the specific tasks are still unknown...

"Well... isn't it good that there's no punishment? It's just an event, why make such a fuss? Is it something every host has to participate in?" Shan Nai tapped the system bubble's little hand.

The system shook itself.

[No, but the systems can forcibly register the host. Although there's no punishment, the pain during the game is real... so... I didn't register the host!]

"Oh, is that so... I'm still pretty good, hehe. Let's participate in the event! The top three get a big prize, we have to give it our all!"

Shannai could tell that the system really wanted to participate in the event, but she didn't register her out of pity.

"What reward will you get if we get a top-three finish?"

[All I know is that the first place winner can materialize... But host, don't force yourself, and don't participate for my sake. I... I envy Little 7 and Little 9 for being able to play with you, but...]

It really doesn't want its host to feel pain, even if the host itself is not damaged in any way.

But deep down I really want to play mahjong and poker with my host... Waaah, I'm so conflicted.

"Okay, okay, stop being so sentimental. I understand how you feel. Don't worry, if I feel I can't handle it, I'll just raise the white flag and surrender!"

Yamana decided to participate in the event.

Anyway, there's nothing else to do in the apocalypse.

Being idle is also idle.

"When does this event start? Are there any specific time limits?"

[The event starts in three days and will last approximately 48 hours. Host, do you really want to participate?]

Yamana nodded, "Hmm, what if we get first place~ Meow~"

The system bubble was so moved that it clumped together and cried softly.

"Stop crying, I'm going to draw a prize." Shan Nai coughed lightly.

The system composed itself and opened the upgraded lottery wheel.

Shan Nai took a breath towards her small hand, spun the wheel, and said, "Whoosh~ Here we go~"

The pointer spun rapidly for about ten seconds before slowly coming to a stop.

Ultimately, it stopped at the grand prize.

"Haha, see the system! Who else~ la la la la~ la la la~" Shan Nai clapped her hands, spun around in place, her delicate little face flushed.

[Hehe, host, you're awesome! This time the grand prize is expanding the breakfast window, which is very difficult to win.]

Yamanaji's smile widened. "Huh? The breakfast window?"

[Wow, this is pretty good, host. Breakfast is available from 5:00 to 9:00, and you can buy breakfast once a day. Ordering takes five minutes, so it won't interfere with your normal shopping at the supermarket.]

The timing is great, really good.

Shannai clicked to confirm the receipt and quickly installed it, then a little while later she hurriedly ran outside to watch.

Sure enough, a new window-style breakfast stall has appeared on the left side of the supermarket entrance, with a sign that reads "Lucky Breakfast." The stall has a self-service ordering machine and a mini membership machine.

Since it's currently a Level 1 breakfast window, only two breakfast options are refreshed each day: meat buns and egg pancakes, each costing 5 points.

But now that breakfast time has passed, the screen has gone dark and is unusable.

"The price is so attractive... If customers with few points buy one breakfast a day, it's definitely enough to make do. After all, it's fresh and hot~" Yamana muttered to herself after fiddling with the breakfast machine for a while.

The appearance of the breakfast window still surprised those around them.

It's too hot in the apocalypse, and nobody sleeps in. Everyone gets up as soon as it's light to try and earn points. But... family, who can resist the temptation of a super value breakfast?

Shan Nai initially thought the breakfast window was a bit of a waste of time, but to her surprise, it became very popular after it was put into normal operation the next morning!

Without having to go to the supermarket and waste their daily shopping trips, they can still buy an inexpensive breakfast. Members in the surrounding area all came to grab one.

On the third day, the Tibetan fox Xiao Liang came to the supermarket again.

This time it really brought a bloody first-order crystal core!

Shannai highly praised its behavior, indicating that it was a beast that knew how to enjoy life.

Xiao Liang: - ? - (Using this to repay a debt of gratitude should be right... Look how happy she is, it must be right!)

three days later.

Shannai got up early and dressed up carefully, after all, it was her first time participating in an event organized by the system headquarters, and she couldn't let the system down.

"It's 9 o'clock, it's 9 o'clock! I'm ready! How do I get in~" Yamana sat in front of the dressing table and made a fist at the soft and cute cat girl in the mirror.

[Host, good luck! Don't push yourself too hard. The system is sending you to the event area.]

The system has tried to persuade Shan Nai several times in the past three days. Knowing that she is serious this time, all it can do is cheer her on.

"Ok!"

Shan Nai closed her eyes, a strange excitement welling up inside her.
