My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

After several hours of hard work, she repaired all the broken tables, chairs, and benches in the small house.

The renovation work is now complete.

[Mission Reward: One lottery draw! Discovered items: Bottled water, chocolate bear cookies, instant noodles, toilet paper, small flashlight. Food: Stew, steamed buns, to be unlocked.]

"A lottery? Come on, come on, I'm the lucky orange cat! Meow~"

Upon hearing about the lottery, Shan Nai excitedly rubbed her hands together, ignoring all the other items she had discovered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a transparent screen appeared in front of him.

Wow, that's high technology!

Yamana clicked "Start" in the middle of the lottery wheel on the screen.

[It can be controlled by the host's thoughts.]

"That's different, I have a lucky hand."

Shan Nai wasn't bragging.

Back in the day, when she sneaked down the mountain to play, even if she just bought a pack of instant noodles, she could win a free pack. All the small appliances in her house were obtained through lucky draws.

The colorful turntable spun rapidly.

After a few laps, it slowly came to a stop.

The pointer stopped on the first prize.

"Hey, system, system, did you see that?!" Shan Nai jumped up and down, her blue dress fluttering in the wind.

[Hmm, host, you're awesome! The first prize is a big gift pack and a meteorite iron baseball bat.]

The system was also a little excited. This host was really a cutie. Luckily, it seemed that it was saved this time.

"Baseball bat?"

Is she going to fight? But she's invincible in the supermarket, and she has a protective shield. Oh... Yamana understands, it's definitely for fighting!

That's right, that's exactly it. If the reward is a submachine gun, what if you encounter an unreasonable customer? You can't just start shooting, can you?

[Host is very lucky! This is a self-defense tool made of special materials; it's very practical. *tap*

Yamana smacked her lips as she held the smooth, rounded golden baseball bat.

Perhaps considering my height, they gave me a 21-inch one, which weighs only two or three pounds, and has the words "Lucky Supermarket" printed on it.

She held it in her hand and tried it out; the texture was quite nice.

"Please open the gift package for me, thank you."

[Gift Pack: Daily Necessities*1, Special Clothing*20, Health-Boosting and Beauty-Enhancing Fruit Tea*1.]

Shannai was curious about what the fruit tea was, so she clicked to collect it.

As a result, I was hit in the face with towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, toiletries, clothes, underwear, etc.

Then the fruit tea is poured into a large bottle of teapot. You can pour it whenever you want to drink it, and it will automatically refill and keep the tea fresh.

After she finished organizing all these things, she remembered the items that needed to be unlocked.

Shannai discovered that the system was actually quite good.

I don't rush her to do chores, she only answers questions when she has them, and I let her do whatever she wants the rest of the time. She's really a reliable friend.

"System, how do I unlock and list products? There are food items too."

[You'll need points. Each item requires 20 points to unlock. Please select the item to unlock and the prepared food.]

Shanna frowned as she looked at the various products on the screen. She had difficulty making decisions and needed to think about it.

"There's even a prepared food area...that's really professional."

This reminded her of the large supermarkets of the past, which had everything and made life very convenient. She really enjoyed shopping at supermarkets.

There are only 100 points in total. Steamed buns and vegetables are essential in the cooked food section, so I definitely need to unlock them.

"In the apocalypse... food is the most important thing, right? We need water and biscuits, but we can hold off on toilet paper for now. What time is it? We can use tree leaves too, right? As for the flashlight... maybe next time." Yamana muttered to herself.

Finally, he clicked on mineral water, biscuits, instant noodles, steamed buns, and stew to "unlock".

[Unlocked, Points -100, Remaining Points 0]

"Hmm... what if we sell out? How do we get more stock?"

[Host, rest assured, all items are unlocked at once. The first allocation is one box, and the store system will automatically restock the warehouse once it's sold out, so there's no need to worry about the supply.] The system spoke with great confidence about this.

When Shan Nai saw the two boxes of goods that had appeared on the floor of the shelf to the left, and the large food plate and several baskets of steamed buns that had appeared out of nowhere at the food serving area on the right, she was completely convinced.

"Can I eat at the restaurant?" The food looks delicious; it makes me hungry.

[Sure, the host is the owner of the supermarket, with the highest management authority, and can eat for free! As long as the host manages it well and strives to upgrade, the final reward will be huge!] The system's tone was somewhat uplifting.

"Judging from your tone... there's no conspiracy involved, is there?" Shan Nai was somewhat skeptical. Could something really fall from the sky? Would the system really trick her...?

[The system swears there is absolutely no conspiracy. The host was reborn because he was bound to the supermarket system. Completing the final upgrade of the supermarket will grant a mysterious grand prize, and the system will also benefit. That's all!]

The system is getting a little anxious.

Okay, she understood. Mutual benefit is normal.

Perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

She was already unlucky enough to be struck by lightning, and the system kindly used its energy to save her. It's rather unkind of her to doubt it.

Moreover, she is now the boss and only needs to upgrade the supermarket, which is already very satisfying.

"I'm sorry, I was overthinking it. Please guide me in the future."

【Uh-huh. 】

Shannai organized and put the goods on the shelves.

A case of mineral water contains 30 bottles, a case of chocolate biscuits contains 50 bags, and the instant noodles are chicken broth flavored, with 24 bags.

Each product is printed with "Produced by Lucky Supermarket".

"Nice, I'll treat myself to a bag of bear-shaped cookies!" Yamana looked at the tidy shelves and tore open a bag of cookies.

"Delicious!" It's incredibly creamy, crispy, and filled with white chocolate.

[New task unlocked: Achieve 1000 points in monthly sales.]

After listening, Shan Nai ruffled her hair. This task has a time limit.

She ran up to the shelf and checked the prices.

Bottled mineral water, 6 points; Chocolate bear biscuits, 10 points; Chicken soup instant noodles, 5 points.

Large steamed buns: 2 points each; large stew: 13 points per serving.

She opened the system interface again and carefully read through the beginner's guide.

"There's a chance that zombie beasts will explode crystal cores in their brains. These are the materials needed for upgrading in the supermarket. Different levels of crystal cores contain different amounts of energy, and they are also needed for ability users to upgrade..."

"It seems we'll have to wait for the customer to arrive to verify the details."

Shannai watched for a while, then her stomach started growling with hunger.

She ran to the food service area, grabbed a plate, filled a bowl with vegetables, took a steamed bun, and sat down at the window to eat.

"Mmm, this is delicious~" Yamana slurped up a glass noodle covered in soup, her face full of happiness.

The stew contains a variety of ingredients.

Pork belly, Chinese cabbage, glass noodles, green beans, potatoes, and firm tofu, perfectly seasoned with a hint of spice, and bursting with oily flavor.

The steamed buns were also piping hot, with a wonderful aroma of wheat.

She's never been a picky eater, but she never imagined this stew could be so delicious.

The food in our supermarket's prepared food section uses the highest quality ingredients, it's exceptional, and we always strive to maintain its best taste.

Shanna nodded as she ate, completely convinced.

Because it's really delicious, her small supermarket has a promising future.

After finishing your meal, place your tray on the rack below the food serving area, and the system will automatically collect it and take it into the kitchen for cleaning and tidying.

Shannai crouched down and observed for a while, then grinned foolishly, thinking that this system was simply too considerate.

It is impossible to work part-time.

He's definitely the real boss.

"System, you're so kind."

Hmm, you know that's good~

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Shan Nai decided to take a nap.

There was a window in front of the bedroom desk. Yamana secretly tugged at the old curtains and peeked at the street outside through a small gap.

The afternoon sun was scorching, and some zombies were still slowly searching for food on the road, while others were wrestling and tearing at each other with strange beasts.

Yamana glanced at it and then drew the curtains. "Luckily there's a small supermarket..."

She glanced at the small bed in the middle of the room and decided to push it against the wall.

Sleeping against the wall makes her feel much more at ease.
