"Hurry up, little sister, hurry up! The boxed meals will be gone soon. I heard there are only 500 portions. If they didn't limit it to one per person, I wouldn't have let you come."
An older man, pulling a girl of seventeen or eighteen, said urgently.
"Big brother, you believe anything you hear. This is the apocalypse, where are you going to find such good boxed meals? With cola chicken wings, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, cold dishes, and fruit. They're fooling you, and you believe it." The girl rolled her eyes at the man.
Big brother is so honest, believing whatever others say. Fortunately, he's strong and resourceful. Otherwise, he'd have been sold long ago, still counting the money for others. The girl mumbled to herself.
"You never know, what if it's true! Don't you want to eat? If it's fake, we won't lose anything. It's just a matter of walking a bit further. If it's real, 20 points! Such good food."
The girl listened and thought it made sense. It was just a matter of walking a bit further. If it was real, they'd have struck gold. That was meat!
After she understood, the girl's pace quickened, like a wild horse that had broken free, and she ran towards the canteen with her big brother.
"It seems quite a few people know about the boxed meals in the canteen. Let's go take a look!" Liu Yuan and Liu Lingqiu also quickened their steps.
When the siblings reached the canteen, they saw that there were already over a hundred people in line, with several rows stretching to the canteen entrance.
Seeing this, the two of them quickly joined the queue.
"So it's true! I can smell the food!"
The girl sniffed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man and said.
"Yes! I can smell it too."
The two looked at each other, their excitement evident.
Although the canteen was noisy, there were no instances of queue-jumping or disturbances, indicating that the base commander's management was very effective.
After queuing for a while, it was finally their turn. The siblings were at the front of the line. Seeing the people ahead holding their boxed meals and eating, they were already salivating.
The siblings quickly went forward, exchanged their points for boxed meals, and eagerly opened them. They found a spot in the canteen, sat down, and started eating.
"Mmm, this mapo tofu is amazing, it's so delicious with rice! It's all real!"
The girl ate with great enjoyment, praising as she ate.
The man nodded repeatedly, chewing rice, without looking up, his eyes fixed on the dishes in his boxed meal. He then took another bite of stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, followed by a sip of cucumber and egg soup.
"Delicious, delicious!" The girl took another bite, tears welling up.
"This food is truly delicious. Since the apocalypse, I haven't eaten anything this good. Eating this boxed meal makes me feel like I'm back before the apocalypse." The girl wiped her tears and ate another piece of honeydew melon.
Liu Yuan and Liu Lingqiu arrived at the canteen and saw that the usually sparsely populated canteen was packed with people.
They stood there for a moment, then turned and left the canteen.
Soon, an exciting announcement was posted throughout the base.
The announcement explained the source of the boxed meals, the detailed location of the "Good Luck to You" fast food restaurant, its specific details, and the points required for a boxed meal.
Instantly, the entire base erupted in excitement. Many people discussed the fast food restaurant. Some who had eaten the boxed meals described how delicious the food was and how fresh the fruit was.
"I'll go early tomorrow."
"Who wants to team up with me? We'll go on a mission together and kill some zombies to earn points."
"I'm in!"
"Count me in."
"I'll go too!"
"I have something to do tomorrow and can't go. Doesn't the announcement say you can buy boxed meals at the base? Although it's a bit more expensive than at the shop, it's worth it."
"I'll just quietly buy boxed meals at the base. It's too dangerous to go out."
"I want to go too, I want to team up!"
...
Meanwhile, at the fast food restaurant.
Luo Yunshi was happily anticipating her system reaching Level 2, completely unaware of the shocking scene that would unfold the next day.
Luo Yunshi opened a self-heating hot pot and took the leftover cola from making the cola chicken wings. She sat on a chair and started eating and drinking.
"Haha, this life is so wonderful! So..." Luo Yunshi looked into the distance, but quickly withdrew her gaze before finishing her sentence.
She had intended to say "so good," but changed her mind.
"So frustrating. I have to see these zombies even when I'm eating, it affects my mood and my appetite." Luo Yunshi shook her head helplessly and continued eating her hot pot.
"Host, it'll be better once you level up! After the system upgrade, there will be many functions to choose from! Just hold on! After today, everything will be different," System Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"Alright, I guess that's the only way. I've only been here for less than two days, so I'm still a bit unaccustomed. Maybe I'll get used to it after a while," Luo Yunshi said optimistically.
As Luo Yunshi spoke, she lowered her head and continued eating her hot pot, holding a can of cola and drinking it with relish.
It's almost five o'clock, why aren't any customers coming yet? Customers came at this time yesterday, Luo Yunshi mused.
Time passed quickly, and it was five o'clock.
Ever since Base Commander Liu Yuan had visited, no customers had come.
Luo Yunshi couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so she stopped thinking about it. She simply closed the shop and returned to her room.
"Hehehe~ Tonight I will persist until after 12 o'clock!"
Luo Yunshi said excitedly.
"Yay~" System Xiao Qi was also very happy.
Time flew by as Luo Yunshi browsed recipe books, watched TV shows, and movies. It was soon past one o'clock in the morning.
"Host, Host, there's less than a minute until 12 o'clock!" System Xiao Qi reminded her urgently.
"Haha, great!" Luo Yunshi replied and paused the movie.
5 seconds!
4 seconds!
3 seconds!
2 seconds!
1 second!
"Host, today's points have been credited. Let's upgrade quickly!" System Xiao Qi urged happily.
"Haha, that's great! Upgrade immediately!" Luo Yunshi stood up excitedly, waiting for the room to change.
"Ding dong! The system has been upgraded from Level 1 to Level 2." A mechanical voice entered Luo Yunshi's mind.
"Why are you a mechanical voice again?"
"Haha, Xiao Qi thinks it sounds more formal! Host, quickly choose the decoration style for your room and the fast food restaurant!"
After System Xiao Qi finished speaking, many design blueprints for 100-square-meter rooms and fast food restaurants appeared before Luo Yunshi's eyes.
"Whoa! I can actually choose myself? Xiao Qi, I love you to death!" Luo Yunshi exclaimed excitedly.
Luo Yunshi looked at the decoration design blueprints with excitement.
There were many decoration styles for her house, including European style, traditional Chinese style, French style, and modern style. Various styles were available, some simple, some complex.
Some were luxurious, others ordinary. Some were minimalist, some elaborate, some exquisite.
Luo Yunshi looked at the design blueprints and chose a cream-colored style.
After clicking confirm, her original 50-square-meter house instantly became 100 square meters, which also included a 10-square-meter small courtyard.
The room remained a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, with a cream color scheme that looked very cozy. The coffee table, chairs, and cabinets were all in warm colors.
The TV screen was also twice as large as before.
Walking into her bedroom, there were several beautiful paintings hanging on the walls, and the wardrobe was filled with all sorts of clothes.
Clothes, pants, underwear, pajamas, socks. Everything was there.
Oh my goodness, I finally have clothes. I thought I'd have to wear this outfit for a few more days!
This is amazing!" Luo Yunshi exclaimed, waving her arms happily in the air.
"Haha, Host, if the clothes in the room get damaged, a new identical one will appear!"
"Oh? Do you mean these clothes can appear infinitely?" Luo Yunshi's eyes lit up, feeling like she had stumbled upon an opportunity to earn points.
