Cultivator in the Last Days
Chapter 104: Bicker (2)
CHAPTER 104: BICKER (2)
This place will become a big mall in this base in the future.
There were countless stores opened in this mall, allowing them to spend their hard earned points for various things. At this moment, this building was mostly empty because there were not many people who were capable enough to pay the enormous rent needed to open the store.
Not to mention, many people staying on the base was relatively poor.
At this point of time, it could be said that everyone just focus on their survival and only a handful of people were thinking about the future and planned big.
They were also brave enough to take this opportunity to open up a store.
Thinking about it, Yu Shi Lan shook her head.
It was not her business.
And only people who had enough resources and manpower would be able to open up a store at this juncture.
"We’re here," Mu Ting Ye said and he pointed above. "They’re on the third floor and there are also other stores here. They mainly sell daily life supplies and you can also trade items there."
He pointed at the front where there was a large area filled with various items and a few people taking care of it. From the way it looked like, it looked quite similar to a supermarket with limited amount supplies.
Yu Shi Lan could see that there were no food sold there.
But other things were relatively complete.
Hmm, did they move over the mall over here?
It was not that surprising, though.
"Do you want to buy something?" Mu Ting Ye asked when he saw Yu Shi Lan staring at the row of shelves.
So far, there were not many people who wanted to buy things here for various reasons. One of them was naturally the fact that they could do a zero yuan purchase in many ruined buildings outside.
It was hard to maintain the order and society during this period of time.
The situation in the base was better but it was mainly because there were military officers here.
"Ah, no." Yu Shi Lan shook her head. "I’m just thinking that this store might not be profitable because many people could get things for free outside."
At least, for the time being, it would still be possible to get the resources.
As for the future...
Who knows?
"There are some people who are too lazy to search for things," Mu Ting Ye said with a shrug. He knew a few people in the ’rich district’ who would rather buy things in this mall rather than going out to search for resources.
In their opinion, it was easier for them to buy things than to search for it.
Besides, they didn’t lack contribution points, so they would not care even if they were to waste it with some resources.
Mu Ting Ye had already seen these people coming here.
Of course, most of them were the second generation young masters who were too lazy to work hard on their own.
Yu Shi Lan was speechless.
"There are actually such lazy people?"
She felt that the world was quite magical.
Mu Ting Ye laughed. "The more you get to know people, the more you will know how magical some of them were."
Yu Shi Lan could only nod.
The two of them made their way to the third floor quickly. The second floor was empty because no one else could afford to rent store there. The third floor only has two restaurants and there seemed to be many people around the area.
It seemed that the two restaurants were quite popular.
But not all of them were here to eat as some of them were only sitting outside to watch and looked like they were satisfying their eyes and not their stomach.
"Why is the other restaurant more popular?" Yu Shi Lan was confused.
Does people really have that great interest in the demonic beast’s meat?
She felt that these people wouldn’t be so stupid, right?
"Because it’s cheaper," Mu Ting Ye replied, his tone contained displeasure that he didn’t even bother hiding. "It’s meat, but the price is lower than the official price of the base."
Even though obtaining those mutated beast’ meat shouldn’t have been easy, but they sold it for a cheap price for some reasons.
Mu Ting Ye didn’t know much.
Considering his position in the Mu Family, his parents were not willing to let him get involved too much in this matter. They only told him what was necessary and let him get out and didn’t disturb them.
For this matter, Mu Ting Ye was not surprised and simply asked his friends about this.
After all, he had his own connection that was different from the Mu Family.
Though most people in his team looked extremely unreliable.
"...They’re really brave," Yu Shi Lan murmured.
Mu Ting Ye nodded in agreement. "Come in and order some food. Don’t worry too much about the price. It’s not expensive for me."
Yu Shi Lan looked at the menu and then at the price. Well, it was indeed extremely expensive.
Who would spend a few hundred thousand for one meal?
If this was before, Yu Shi Lan really wouldn’t dare to order anything even if Mu Ting Ye said that it was fine. But she had seen an even more exorbitant price when she was in the cultivation world.
At that time, she even wondered whether people were eating food or eating money.
Because the price was simply too expensive.
It was so high that she highly doubted the world for a moment.
So after seeing the price and felt that Yu Shi Lan would not have any problem repaying Mu Ting Ye with the same price of food in the future, she simply ordered the noddles and vegetable dishes.
"Why don’t you order more meat?" Mu Ting Ye asked curiously.
Most people would definitely order meat when they have the chance, but Yu Shi Lan clearly didn’t do so.
