My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Just like back then, when she was struck by lightning and heard the system notification sound after an unknown period of time, she was also shocked and excited as if she had been through another world.

[Host, don't dwell on those unhappy things. We're living well now, and the system will always be there to accompany you as you grow!]

The system wasn't intentionally trying to pry into her mind, but it sensed that she was feeling a bit down. System No. 1105 was known for spoiling its host.

So he quickly popped up to comfort his feline host.

Yamana raised an eyebrow, silently thanking the system in her heart, "That's right, thank goodness for you, System~"

The cat and its system encouraged and comforted each other.

Little did they know that He Xiaoyu's stunned expression was three parts shock and seven parts focus on Shan Nai.

Sun Gui redeemed 300 points, while He Xiaoyu redeemed 240. Although neither was much, it was enough to buy life-saving supplies.

The two were overjoyed, reveling in the happiness and joy of shopping.

Sun Gui was incredibly excited.

To express his joy, he sang a song for Yamana on the spot.

"Hey~ Brother Shen, there's a supermarket here~"

Before Sun Gui had finished singing, a sound that sent chills down everyone's spines was heard.

"So tight..." He Xiaoyu muttered under her breath as she was about to put a bag of purple rice cakes into her shopping basket.

Yamana glanced at the new customer at the door and her cat ears twitched.

She wore a pink dress, had long flowing hair, a slender waist, and a small, delicate face—the quintessential girl-next-door look.

From head to toe, everything is pink.

"Wow, there's even air conditioning inside! Brother Ashen, come in quickly!" Bai Chacha pouted and waved towards the door.

Luo Shen, standing outside the door, frowned, quickly glanced around the supermarket, hesitated for a moment, and then strode in.

Bai Chacha happily spun around a few times, then hopped and skipped to the cashier, looking up carefully at the shopping instructions.

“...Crystal cores, we have plenty of them~” Bai Chacha said to Shan Nai with her most perfect signature smile.

Shannai gave her a slight smile. "If you need to shop, just put the crystal cores on the exchange device."

"Crash-"

A handful of colorful crystals poured out of the pink bag.

"Ahem, boss, we'll take all the supplies you have! You two don't need to buy any more!"

Bai Chacha sweetly stretched out her hand and pointed to Sun Gui and He Xiaoyu standing to the side.

[Tsk, what a boastful tone~] The system suddenly popped up.

Shanna pursed her lips and blinked her big eyes helplessly, "I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"Just tell me how much you need!"

Luo Shen strode to Cha Cha's side and glared at Shan Nai.

This man looks refined and gentle, but he has such a violent temper.

He Xiaoyu, standing by the shelf, scoffed dismissively, "Trying to control everything, including how people poop and fart?"

"That's right, who do you think you are! Why can't we buy supplies? We recharged our membership cards through the normal procedures! What era are we living in? Just because you have a few crystal cores doesn't mean you're any different!"

Sun Gui was also somewhat indignant, and directly confronted Cha Cha, yelling at her irritably.

"Customer, please calm down." Shan Nai stood up from behind the checkout counter, patted Sun Gui on the shoulder, and then looked at Luo Shen and said, "You don't have the ability to buy out my supermarket, and you have no right to stop my other customers from shopping normally."

Luo Shen sensed the sharpness in Shan Nai's tone and gently pulled Bai Chacha behind him, like a mother hen protecting her chicks. "I've already said, no need for nonsense. If this isn't enough, I have more!"

As he spoke, he took out a soft, gold-threaded pouch and poured out several blue crystal cores.

The appearance of these blue crystal cores did indeed shock Sun Gui and He Xiaoyu quite a bit.

Fourth-order crystal nuclei.

Although the woman just poured out a small pile, most of them were first or second-tier crystal cores.

Anyone who can obtain a fourth-tier crystal core must be a superhuman, and their superhuman level must be quite high!

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive. Sun Gui swallowed hard, his earlier defiant spirit immediately deflated, and he quietly retreated.

Even after retreating to He Xiaoyu's side, he didn't forget to tug at her and walk behind the shelves together.

They are just ordinary people; they can't afford to mess with people with superpowers.

You never know when you might step out of the supermarket and have your throat slit.

Bai Chacha winked at Shan Nai from behind Luo Shen.

[Host, a scan has revealed that the woman winking at you is trying to activate her superpower, but unfortunately, our supermarket blocks all superpowers, so nothing works.]

"You can also scan other people's superpowers?"

[Yes, host. This man is a level four lightning-type ability user, and the woman is a level three mental-type ability user. Charm is her power.]

"Huh? Charm? This skill belongs to the Qingqiu Fox Clan, right? Meow haha~" Shan Nai almost burst out laughing.

So, these crystal nuclei were deliberately used as bait?

Then he wanted to use this woman's supernatural abilities to bewitch and deceive him...

Yamana was carefully savoring the intricacies of this matter.

Bai Chacha blinked so hard her eyes almost cramped before she belatedly realized her superpower had failed.

In the past, when exchanging supplies, she only needed to activate her superpower and use her charm, and everything went smoothly.

After all, psychic abilities are the rarest and most noble.

It's so rare to find so many supplies today; everyone who sees them is envious.

Why can't I activate my superpowers?

Without superpowers, there's no allure!

She has a very important and sacred mission on her shoulders.

Bai Chacha anxiously gripped Luo Shen's arm tightly with her fingernails.

Her fingertips almost dug into his wheat-colored skin, but Luo Shen didn't mind at all. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and said, "Hmm, I'll take care of it."

"Brother Ashen, Chacha is just worried about those poor, pitiful people. They're so miserable~"

As she spoke, a few glistening tears rolled down Bai Chacha's cheeks.

"If you want to buy something, I'll exchange these crystal cores for it. If you don't buy anything, you'll be forcibly kicked out of the supermarket in 30 seconds."

Shannai had absolutely no interest in her story, and her tone was full of impatience.

"Boss sister, we need these supplies for important purposes~" Bai Chacha tried to coax.

"20 seconds..."

"Cha Cha, stop talking. This supermarket is weird. Can we use it?" Luo Shen's expression was not good.

He wanted to pull Bai Chacha away.

It's too dangerous, too bizarre.

The supermarket owner looked to be under eighteen years old, even younger than Bai Chacha, but the aura he exuded made him very uncomfortable.

If I'm not mistaken, the supermarket owner probably also has psychic abilities, and maybe even spatial abilities!

"How could this happen?" Bai Chacha said, somewhat angrily.

"10 seconds." Yamana pursed her lips, making no attempt to be ambiguous.

"exchange!"

Luo Shen patted the cashier's counter with his large hand and made a decision.
