My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

It also wants to interact with its host...

But it's just a system, [sigh :-(]]

The system let out a quiet sigh.

"What's wrong?" Yamana asked naturally after ending her interaction with bb-09.

The system wasn't being fussy and didn't want to let such trivial matters spoil the host's good mood.

[It's alright, host, please continue!]

Shannai felt that the system might have its own worries, and since it didn't want to talk about them, she didn't press it further.

Shan Nai opened the supermarket's back-end management interface to check the precautions regarding the robot, and was surprised to find a small bubble-like thing on the side of the screen.

"System, what is this bubble?" Shan Nai poked the transparent bubble.

The system isn't quite sure either; it will check later.

"Okay, this little 9 is really amazing. It can do almost everything, it's just a bit small and stands a bit high on the shelf..."

Shannai seemed to be seriously considering Xiao Jiu's short arms and legs.

But the next second, BB-09's short limbs changed form with a "whoosh"!

It turns out that it can also raise and extend its limbs at will to accommodate shelves of various heights and difficulty levels, making it a truly perfect automated stock clerk.

"excellent!"

Shan Nai was somewhat surprised. She parted her red lips slightly and nodded repeatedly, giving it a thumbs up without reservation.

[There's also an automatic cleaning robot BB-07 and a newly unlocked multi-functional medicine vending machine. The medicine vending machine is near the checkout counter and requires 1000 points to unlock.]

"Wow, there's even a Little Seven? Now I'm truly upgraded to a boss!"

Shan Nai felt that this was much more comfortable than her hiding in the deep mountains to cultivate alone.

She runs a shop, makes money, and is her own boss. She enjoys a relaxed retirement and has such lovely staff to keep her company. What a wonderful life!

BB-07 had just finished cleaning at the supermarket and obediently dragged its round body to Yamana's side, rubbing against the hem of her skirt.

"Little 9 and Little 7 look the same, just different colors. They look like a couple, haha."

Shanna smiled very happily; she wasn't joking.

They look almost identical, only the color schemes are different.

The 9 is blue and white, and the 7 is red and white.

There is something to say.

Red and blue have always been a classic color pairing!

[Ah...I'm not sure if it's a couple or not, but they really are the best match.]

"I don't care, I'm going to bring them together! I'm shipping them! Let's go unlock the medicine cabinet first."

Shannai patted the heads of the two adorable little robots at the same time, puffed out her cheeks, and said sweetly.

Little 7 had already finished its work, and perhaps seeing that there were still empty shelves, it even took the initiative to help Little 9 organize the unstocked goods.

Seeing this, Yamana smiled like a loving mother, feeling very gratified.

Sure enough, a small display case appeared next to the cashier.

It does indeed look like a multi-tiered shelf with a round base. The material looks unique and feels very sturdy, and there's an electronic screen on top.

It's a bit like the vending machines in a large supermarket before the apocalypse.

Shannai stood in front of the multi-functional medicine shelf, first opened the back panel, and clicked the unlock button.

Besides the points deducted for upgrading, there are still quite a few points left after sales.

I had already reserved all the new items I found with my points before going to bed last night, so this morning, as soon as I got to work, I automatically started going to the warehouse to organize the items that needed to be put on the shelves.

The more expensive ones are the Automated Stocker BB-09 and the Automated Cleaner BB-07, which require 1000 points to unlock.

The multi-functional medicine cabinet requires 2000 points, but fortunately, ordinary items require very few points, and Shan Nai has enough points left.

Medicine is truly precious in the apocalypse.

"Okay, unlocked."

As soon as Shan Nai finished speaking, the screen on top of the multi-functional medicine cabinet started up normally.

Welcome to the BB-02 multi-functional medicine cabinet machine. Currently at level 1, it unlocks 10 common medications. Please keep up the good work!

"Oh? Is it considered a robot too?"

[It's an intelligent health assistance machine. The warehouse has the 10 kinds of medicines I just mentioned. BB-09 should be here to restock soon.]

It was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden; Shan Nai felt that there were so many good things in this upgrade, and everything was new and exciting.

The screen is fully functional, with detailed classifications of medicine usage instructions, common ailments, and how to treat various wounds and physical discomforts.

Shannai also found a "health check" button, "Beep, beep, beep to start the check, please stand in front of the screen."

Out of curiosity, she clicked on it, and bb-02 began to twist its body and circle around Yamana.

[Test complete, report generated. The host is in excellent health with no abnormalities. Please drink plenty of water.]

"I see... so they can treat patients too." Shanna raised an eyebrow as she looked at the medical report data on the screen.

[Hmm, each customer needs 100 points for a test, and then the system will recommend the correct medications to purchase.]

“There should be applause here!”

Shannai readily clapped along.

I have to say, this is incredibly useful.

In such harsh living conditions, the survivors are most afraid of getting sick and have no access to medicine. Now, her supermarket has gained another major selling point.

Shannai has already checked the list of common medicines for Level 1, and they are indeed common medicines for colds and fevers, gastrointestinal diseases, antivirals, disinfectants, pain relievers, hemostatics, and bandages.

Its upgrades are based on points earned from the medicines it sells, and are not linked to the total amount spent at the supermarket.

"Fever reducer: 50 points; hemostatic patch: 100 points..."

Medicines are a bit more expensive than supplies, but it's still acceptable.

[Host, there's also a lucky draw at level 3, would you like to try your luck now?]

The system proactively opened a colorful lottery page and asked slyly.

"Cough cough, have a smoke~"

Shan Nai licked her pink lips and clicked the lottery button without hesitation.

After the cursor spun around a few times, it finally stopped on the largest "Participation Award".

"Well...…"

This left the adorable cat speechless.

Even a third prize would be fine; a participation prize is too pitiful.

Did they use up all their luck in the first two times?

[Don't be sad, host, there will be another chance to win a big prize next time!]

"It's nothing serious, it's alright." Shan Nai blew on her bangs to reassure herself, her tone slightly relaxed.

Participation prize: One upgrade to the Meteorite Baseball Bat.

Upon seeing this line of small print, Yamana crouched down and retrieved a baseball bat from under the counter.

But instead of a baseball bat, a gleaming gold handgun lay in the cabinet.

"System, where's my baseball bat? What's with this golden-skinned 'Desert Eagle'?"

Shannai picked up the golden pistol and tried it out. It was much lighter than a baseball bat, small and exquisite, easy to carry, and overall quite useful.

[Hehe, this is a specially designed punishment weapon. It has two types of bullets, with two special effects: electric shock and freezing explosion. The host is lucky; the participation rewards are all randomly generated. The host managed to get an upgraded baseball bat, which is really useful.]

Ordinary handguns are too bloody; they're not suitable for its host.

The system genuinely feels that this baseball bat upgrade reward is very generous!

Could it be that the higher-ups have a preference for its host?

This doesn't fall under the category of participation prizes.

The system didn't think about it too deeply.

The top-level customer service desk will not respond to the supermarket system until the final upgrade is completed.

The only thing we can do is try to upgrade the supermarket.
