My Days Running a Supermarket in the Apocalypse

Cheng Xu briefly explained why he came to this city and his worries about his wife and children at home, asking Shan Nai to help him see if it was indeed his wife, Yang Liu.

Shan Nai glanced at the computer membership backend and saw that it really was Yang Liu.

Since we're family...

Yamana hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, indicating that she had indeed been there.

"That's great...that's great, thank you so much, boss! It truly lives up to its name as Lucky Supermarket, I'm so lucky to have encountered it. I'll be going now! See you later, little boss!"

Cheng Xu was extremely excited.

With a face full of excitement, he grabbed his membership card and backpack and rushed out of the supermarket, eager to find his wife and children who lived in the same city.

In the following days.

Three more customers came in with flyers, ate and drank their fill, and left happily with bags full of purchases.

Looking at the score display in the backend, which showed 1224, Shan Nai's face beamed with a smile. "Great! The 1000-point task is complete!"

She clicked "Submit Task".

[The task to earn 1000 points is complete.]

The supermarket has been upgraded to level 2, expanding its area to 100 square meters and unlocking 4 new shelves, 2 dining tables, 1 beverage refrigerator, and 5 shopping baskets/trolleys each.

Reward unlocked items: small flashlight, tissues. New items discovered: pineapple bun, ham sausage, mixed nuts, purple sweet potato rice cake, braised eggs, milk, fruit and vegetable juice, bananas, sanitary napkins, wet wipes. Two types of food can be placed in the prepared food area at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, the 50-square-meter supermarket has grown much larger.

The floor became much brighter, the surrounding walls were as white as snow, the central air conditioning was replaced by one on each side, and the ceiling was decorated with star and moon patterns.

As you enter, there are several shopping baskets and trolleys against the wall on the left.

Four brand-new empty shelves were neatly arranged next to the previous two, and a double-door beverage refrigerator was next to the cashier.

The dining area has been expanded; there are now four tables, and an additional set of dishes has been added at the food serving area.

[Wow, host, you're awesome! You've leveled up! Now you can draw prizes again.]

"System! You've finally appeared?! Let's not rush the lottery." Her cat ears perked up; she was still very concerned about the system.

Yamana missed the system's voice after not hearing it for several days.

[Yes, host. As long as the supermarket makes money, the system will have energy.]

She understood what that meant and would run the supermarket well in the future.

After all, they are good partners now, and Shan Nai has always been the most loyal.

"Leveling up is pretty easy." Yamana blinked her round eyes.

[This is just a beginner's tutorial. To reach level 3, you'll need points and to complete 10 random tasks.]

Shanna nodded, her little fists clenched. "Okay, I understand!"

She sat at the checkout counter, clicking on the backend to unlock things. "Upgrading the supermarket cost 1000, leaving me with 222. I'll use it all to unlock things. Plus, I found some tissues last time, just enough! The small flashlight is included in the rewards, saving me 20 points..."

Shannai remembers that unlocking the small flashlight requires 50 points.

The unlock price is 20 for regular products and 50 for small appliances. After all, they have the supermarket's special energy-saving batteries, so it's understandable that they are a bit more expensive.

"They even have sanitary napkins, how thoughtful..." Shan Nai put all the latest products on the shelves one by one.

Toilet paper and wet wipes are both 2 points; sanitary napkins/pack are 4 points; small flashlights/each are 20 points, and flashlight batteries/set are 5 points.

Bananas, ham sausages, and braised eggs: 3 points each; purple sweet potato rice cakes and pineapple bread: 8 points each; daily nuts: 15 points each; milk and fruit/vegetable juice: 10 points each.

After Shan Nai finished stocking all the goods, and put the water, milk, and fruit and vegetable juice into the refrigerator, she stretched and rubbed her lower back. "Phew, all done. The prices were pretty reasonable..."

[Host, you've worked hard! Once the supermarket reaches level 3, the automatic stocking robot will be unlocked. Keep it up!]

"Really... a robot? Then I really am the boss, meow hahaha!"

She was just thinking while she was working, "As the supermarket gets bigger and bigger, won't I be exhausted by myself?"

The system's words were practically the source of her motivation for her next goal.

A robot that can do work automatically?

Give it to me!

It was afternoon when Shan Nai finished eating and realized that the supermarket had expanded, and her room would probably be upgraded too.

She hurried back to her room. "Well... it didn't get bigger, but there are a few more pieces of furniture!"

The walls of the small room, which is about 20 square meters, are covered with light green wallpaper, making it look fresh and pleasant.

The original furniture has all been replaced with brand new ones, the bed is softer, and there's an extra wardrobe and dressing table.

"The tone is quite warm and cozy, not bad, system."

Yama-nai wanted to wag her tail, but found that she no longer had one, so she could only fiddle with her cat ears.

It will be more comfortable in the future.

Shan Nai felt that the system was just making empty promises to her!

"Ding bell~"

The glass door was pushed open forcefully.

"Boss, there's a supermarket here? Wow! There's even air conditioning inside! Tsk tsk, that's rare." Wang Xin grinned and went into the supermarket first, his face full of surprise.

These past few days, the three brothers have been searching for supplies all the way here. They were so thirsty they were practically drinking their own urine. It was truly a case of "when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up."

"Welcome." Yamana came out as soon as she heard the voice.

Three burly men with hair that looked like it had been chewed by a dog walked in.

Li Dahai and Zhang Peng followed closely into the supermarket, their eyes also filled with surprise. They began to look around the supermarket, seemingly ignoring Shan Nai.

"Brother, brother, we've struck gold! There's bottled water here!"

"They have instant noodles and sausages!"

"There's bread!"

"Damn, they even have apples and bananas! That's amazing!"

"Second brother, there's still some hot noodles here, with meat in them!"

Wang Xin and Zhang Peng wandered back and forth in the supermarket, their surprises and screams echoing throughout.

"Stop, brothers, this good day has come too suddenly. Calm down. Third brother, put everything into your space!" Li Dahai whispered in Zhang Peng's ear with a sidelong glance.

"Alright, big brother!" Zhang Peng said smugly. He had a small space where all the supplies were usually kept.

Shan Nai sneered, his eyes gleaming with cold light.

Good heavens, these three men in tank tops and shorts started talking as soon as they walked in, and she didn't even have a chance to say a word. They must be a bunch of robbers.

Shan Nai sneered repeatedly, "You need to recharge points before you can buy goods."

"What?"

The three of them looked at Shan Nai in unison, completely bewildered.

I was so excited just now that I didn't even notice there was such a beautiful woman in the room.

"Oh my, little sister, you're so pretty! Those cat ears are so cute, hehe." Li Dahai stared at Shan Nai and grinned foolishly.

"Tch, it's the apocalypse and you still want us to pay money? Points? What are points?" Wang Xin pulled out a large machete and squinted his eyes.

Li Dahai reached out to stop him, "Put it away, don't scare the little girl~" He grinned lewdly and approached the cashier step by step.

He kept winking at her as he walked.

“Such a cute little sister is in great danger in the apocalypse. Why don’t you come with your brothers? We’ll protect you.” Li Dahai winked at Shan Nai.

Shan Nai looked disgusted and said, "Get lost."

"It's pretty spicy." Li Dahai grinned, his expression malicious.

Shan Nai frowned slightly, her delicate face filled with disgust. Didn't this girl know she had bad breath?

In the apocalypse, survivors don't really care about personal hygiene, nor do they have the means to do so.

The three of them smelled terrible, and it was extremely pungent.
