My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

This heartwarming scene made Yamaha wag her tail along with it.

"Phew, so tired, finally finished shopping." Shan Nai stretched, ready to go back to her nest for a nap.

Unfortunately, my stomach wasn't cooperating and kept growling.

I was so focused on visiting the supermarket this morning that I forgot to eat breakfast.

When Shannai was visiting the dining area, she saw the newly put out desserts and she really wanted one.

"Today's desserts are taro paste and salted egg yolk pastry and red velvet mousse. Which one do you want?" Shan Nai crouched down, her eyes sparkling as she carefully selected between the two desserts.

"Dingling bell~"

"Dingling bell~"

The wind chimes at the entrance jingled incessantly. Song Ze pushed open the supermarket door as usual.

I looked up and noticed how much the supermarket had changed. In addition to the two familiar Doraemon at the entrance, there was a row of round little Doraemon floating in the air!

He was startled, and before he could even let go of the doorknob, he immediately took a step back, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open again. He rubbed his eyes hard and blurted out, "Holy crap..."

Lu Ya, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. "This is the supermarket you were talking about? It's so big..." She was so wide-eyed that she didn't know where to look inside.

“It is indeed very big…” Song Ze calmed himself down, tied Dahei to the door, and led Lu Ya into the supermarket.

"Welcome! The supermarket has added many new products, there's definitely something you'll like!" Shan Nai greeted us with a smile, holding a taro paste and salted egg yolk pastry.

The moment Song Ze saw Shan Nai again, he wondered if his eyes were malfunctioning and he was hallucinating!

He actually saw that the cat owner had grown a tail and dyed his hair a new color?!

"Uh, Mr. Cat, what...? What?" Song Ze pointed to the newly upgraded supermarket and Shan Nai's tail, his tongue getting tied in knots.

Yamaha tried her best to keep smiling and calm, gently wagging her tail to show off, "Yeah, I especially love cats, isn't this a perfect match~ hehe..." She then twitched her ears on her head and grinned foolishly.

"Oh! I see. The supermarket... underwent another renovation? That's amazing!" Song Ze didn't dare to ask further, but his clenched fist couldn't help but clench his thumb.

Like! Great!

Yamana shifted her gaze to the girl behind him. "Your new friend?"

"Huh? You don't recognize me? I'm Lu Ya... You saved me..." Lu Ya's already pale face darkened even more when she met Uesugi Nai's unfamiliar gaze.

Lu Ya?

Yamana quickly searched her mind for the name, oh…

The girl who delivered the quest item to her in the alley.

This can't be blamed on Shan Nai. That day, Lu Ya was filthy, her face was covered in blood, and you couldn't see what she looked like.

Lu Ya is very slender, a single-eyelid girl with pure features and an innocent look in her eyes.

"Oh, it's you. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you at first. Is your injury better?" Yamana asked politely.

Lu Ya nodded excitedly, "I feel much better. I came here today specifically to thank you for taking me to the Lucky Alliance Building. Thank you!" After saying that, she bowed deeply to Shan Nai.

Shan Nai waved her hand, "You've already given me a thank-you gift, no need to be polite. If you want to thank someone, thank the people who took you in."

Lu Ya glanced at Song Ze beside her, then smiled faintly, "Well, that stone wasn't really a thank-you gift. I don't have anything special... I just thought it was pretty..." Her voice trailed off.

The people in the Lucky Alliance were all very kind, and she had already thanked them. When Cheng Xu said she could stay in the alliance, Lu Ya agreed without hesitation.

She would rather die than go back to that man-eating camp where she used to live.

Lu Ya was more than willing to stay in the Alliance Building and see the beautiful cat boss.

"I see, that's a special power stone. How about this, you get a membership, and I'll give you a discount on the items you buy today~" Shan Nai said gently.

Lu Ya really didn't know anything about superpower stones; she found that stone in the camp's kitchen.

If she wanted to become a member, all she had was a jade pendant left to her by her father, plus a gray crystal core that Song Ze lent her before he left.

She successfully redeemed 145 points, which, although not many, was enough for her to use for a while.

Song Ze pushed the shopping cart and strolled slowly among the various shelves with her, chatting with each other in astonishment.

[Host, would you like to participate in the lottery now?]

The system saw that the host had already eaten three taro paste and salted egg yolk pastries, a mousse cake, and drunk a cup of milk tea. After patting his belly and lying down in the chair, the system quietly popped up to say hi.

"Burp~!" Shan Nai blushed and let out a burp.

A beautiful spinning wheel appeared on the screen. Shanna blew a breath and spun the wheel.

"Grand Prize! Grand Prize! Grand Prize!" Shan Nai clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and whispered the name.

【Uh…】The system kept staring at the pointer, watching it spin rapidly for a few rounds before finally stopping at 'Grand Prize'.

The system bubble bounced up immediately.

[Host, this is truly the grand prize! Amazing!]

What an auspicious little kitten! I really want to cuddle it. The system, hanging on the edge of the screen, trembled its bubble body.

"Haha, really? What's the reward?" Shan Nai opened her eyes, cupped her face, and smiled.

[Smart teleportation bracelet! Host, this is super useful~ Try it on!]

The system burst into laughter, almost screaming.

Shan Nai took out a transparent glacier bracelet from the prize list. "Why does it look so much like the fitness trackers from before the apocalypse?"

The watch face is shaped like a round cat's head, and the bracelet contains the entire supermarket's POS and back-end systems, with data exchanged between the two.

Press both cat ears at the same time to open a portal, which can be reached at any location on the marked map.

[...That's why this bracelet is so convenient to use when you're out and about!]

After listening to the system's introduction, Shan Nai couldn't wait to put on the bracelet, quickly turn it on and bind it. After adjusting the interface, she opened the map, wanting to find a random place to test it out.

As soon as Shannai opened the map, an option popped up: "Enable holographic image?"

"Hehe, I was just thinking that the screen was so small and inconvenient to operate, how thoughtful, great~"

After Shannai clicked 'Yes', a large high-definition screen appeared in front of her, which she could then touch to operate at will.

"Hmm... let's try this place first~" Yamana randomly pointed to a location on the map and pressed the cat ear button.

She held her breath and waited quietly for the next step.

"System, am I still in the same place?" After waiting for a while, Shan Nai was still sitting in the boss's chair.

[Here it comes! I'm sorry, host, but this random teleportation has a prerequisite quest. You need to personally go to the new map and check in before you can teleport.]

"Oh, so you mean I can only clock in at City A and teleport within City A right now?"

Yamana blinked and also noticed the map check-in mark in the upper right corner of the screen.

【Yes host. 】

The satellite map was drawn very realistically and in great detail. On this huge map, only City A was green, so Yamana casually took a picture of it.

"Alright, let's try Hope Base first." Yamana lightly touched the screen to select a location.

The bracelet vibrated for a second, and then a vortex-like black hole appeared in front of Shan Nai.

"Shall we go in?" Shannai pointed to the mysterious black hole.

[Yes, this is the portal to the teleportation cave.]

Looking at the black hole, Shan Nai felt a little uneasy. She bit her lip, clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and rushed in.

When she opened her eyes again, she was indeed miraculously standing at the entrance of the Hope Base.

"Haha, this is great! System, it's so convenient. Let me try another one, it's so much fun, hehe."

Yamana then tried other random locations in City A, and arrived within seconds of each one.
