"I heard that the exchange in Simulation Pod Number Four is just like the big malls before the apocalypse; you can buy anything there. When it opens, let's go take a look together?"
Peng Yixuan suggested.
Lin Xi and Xue Keyue both agreed.
After the apocalypse, they hadn't experienced the joy of shopping for a long time.
Moreover, with a 90% discount today, they wouldn't miss it.
However, Tang Li refused.
There would be a lot of people going to Simulation Pod Number Four today, and Tang Li didn't want to join the crowd.
Besides, she had to be ready to replicate supplies for restocking at any time.
Since the public areas of the underground city had a total of 24 pods, to distinguish them, pods that were not singular were given numbers.
These were the cultivation pods, planting pods, industrial pods, and simulation pods.
The simulation pod housing the gymnasium and training grounds was called "Simulation Pod Number One," the one with the school and library was "Simulation Pod Number Two," and the one with the hospital was "Simulation Pod Number Three."
"Simulation Pod Number Four" was the pod that housed the exchange, plaza, and leisure and entertainment venues.
There was also "Simulation Pod Number Five," but it was on the fourth level. It served as the comprehensive service center for those living on the fourth level who had invasive brain-computer interfaces installed.
After all matters concerning Tang Guo concluded, the exchange in Simulation Pod Number Four opened.
After parting ways with Xue Keyue and the others, Tang Li went directly down to the fourth level.
Four of the nine storage pods on the fourth level were used to store the supplies replicated by Tang Li.
When Tang Li placed supplies in the storage pods on the fourth level, robots would transport them to the storage pods on the third level.
The people operating these robots were those with invasive brain-computer interfaces installed.
With a population of over a hundred thousand in the underground city, many had accumulated a considerable number of coupon points.
Today, their speed of purchasing supplies would undoubtedly be very fast.
These robots were destined to be very busy.
In fact, whether it was the 90% discount on everything today or the free water and electricity the night before, Tang Li did not lose out.
This was because no matter whether the items used by the residents of the underground city were replicated from Tang Li's space or not, they would eventually be sold to Tang Li as garbage and stored in her space.
Although Tang Li would give them points for selling garbage, these points were insignificant compared to the points they gave Tang Li when buying things.
For Tang Li, the supplies replicated using space energy, upon being collected as waste and removed, would transform back into space energy.
Even the excrement produced after digesting consumed water and food would be collected by Tang Li into her space.
As for the water discharged through the sewer system, even if it was given away for free, it would ultimately be reclaimed by Tang Li into her space, just like the bathwater on the night before the extreme cold season arrived.
If they paid points to purchase water replicated by Tang Li, then these points were essentially a profit for Tang Li.
Although such a process would inevitably incur losses, it was important to remember that the cultivation and planting pods on the first level were still constantly producing!
If these outputs were included, Tang Li's space energy was actually gradually accumulating and continuously increasing.
In this way, the supplies of the entire underground city and Tang Li's space energy were in a cycle.
As long as Tang Li was present, the people of the G City underground city would not lack supplies.
"Boss, all the scattered supplies and the bodies of the deceased on the surface have been collected and placed in the recycling bays of the storage pods on the third level."
As soon as Tang Li reached the fourth level, Tang Guo called.
Now, when facing Tang Li, Tang Guo no longer called her "Boss" but directly addressed her as "Li Li."
However, when she called "the omnipotent merchant Boss Li" in a work reporting capacity, she would formally call her "Boss."
"Okay, I know. I'll have the robots retrieve them."
After Tang Li responded, she called Lu Wan again and asked her to arrange for people to send the supplies from the four storage pods on the fourth level upwards, and at the same time, bring the discarded items and corpses from the recycling bays of the storage
