PFC Chapter 46: Mutation - C4
Chapter 46: Mutation - C4
The virtual watch shows that the space function has been activated. This time there is a five-square-meter temporary use space. The things in it can be exchanged for contribution points, which can be used to pay rent and buy daily necessities.
Anjiu recalled the last contribution point exchange situation. Ten bags of flour and five bags of rice gave him a contribution value of 1250, which means that each bag of flour can be exchanged for contribution points and each bag of rice can be exchanged for contribution points.
Too cheap.
It’s also a bit strange. There is clearly a shortage of food resources in the beehive. A bag of rice and flour should be enough for one person to eat for two or three months. Why is the exchange price so low?
In other words, the low price most likely means that the government has a lot of inventory, but if they only rely on those selected people to bring back the goods, the space is extremely limited. In addition, there are many people in the hive, so the price of food resources should be set high to be reasonable...
Anjiu looked at the location of the virtual watch.
This shows that every trip to another world involves official personnel, and the spaces they carry are several times larger than their own.
So what is the purpose of Selection Day?
Suddenly, Anjiu felt a pain in her head like being pricked by needles, and she couldn't help but squat down with her head in her hands. At the same time, a picture flashed through her mind, so fast that she could only see a golden light with a long tail.
I tried to slow down the motion, but the picture was like a silent deep ocean, disappearing without a trace, as if it was an illusion caused by severe pain.
The headache came and went quickly, lasting no more than a minute.
Just as he turned around, Anjiu heard the background music in the supermarket suddenly change in style, from a soft song to a dynamic one.
She was very familiar with this change - a thief had entered the mall.
Most likely a regular customer.
Where is the security guard at the entrance of the mall? He should have stopped them immediately, right? Why did he let them in?
Behind the counter, a staff member wearing a chef's hat ran out from a small door and scanned the entire store vigilantly, as if scanning with a radar.
The other salespeople also stopped what they were doing and looked around.
"..."
Anjiu sensed the "hostility" coming from all directions towards him.
After that, no matter where she went, the salesperson would follow her, not saying a word, and would stay close to her.
Anjiu sighed silently, looked down at her dirty clothes, and realized that it was not convenient for her to do anything in this outfit, so she had to change her clothes before trying again.
Before going to check out, she bought a bag of freshly-made white flour buns from the prepared food section, a bag of pickled mustard tubers, a discounted Orleans chicken drumstick, and two bottles of mineral water - to ensure she had food to eat for the next few days and to restore her energy.
Taking out a red bill from her pocket and handing it over, Anjiu pretended to look back casually. The sales clerks in the fruit, vegetable, dairy and meat sections were all standing where they could see her and witnessed her paying the bill and leaving.
Thank goodness for the world of clothes--she caught the loophole.
Walking to the blind spot of the surveillance camera, she threw the things she had just bought into the space, and faintly heard the sound of promotions from the clothing store upstairs.
"Closing the store to clear out the stock, 10% off for one item, 20% off for two items, 30% off for three items, and 50% off for four items, while stocks last!"
As soon as I took the escalator upstairs, I noticed that the shop opposite was covered with eye-catching red words "Crazy Throwing" and there were surprisingly many customers in the shop.
"Welcome..." The saleswoman turned back in a hurry, "Lin, the fitting room is over there, please go to the checkout counter to pay."
It was summer in this world, and the shelves were almost entirely filled with skirts and shorts in bright colors. Anjiu picked out a few light-colored long skirts and walked towards the fitting room.
Because her skirt was blocking her body, no one noticed that her clothes were torn like a homeless person's. Even a few sales clerks who passed by her didn't notice.
The queue for trying on clothes was so crowded that even the benches for rest were piled with clothes.
Anjiu looked inside and found that the collars of several clothes were stained, and the zippers and armpits of some clothes were torn...
There was a long-sleeved dress with lipstick on the collar, and at the bottom there was a pair of sports pants that someone had put down. She held them all in her arms. The fitting room next to her happened to be vacant, so she took the opportunity to pick them up.
Anjiu put both items into the space and then pushed the door open.
She picked up the skirt and walked through the crowd again, hanging it on the shelf near the door. There were many people in the store, and the salesperson just looked up at her and went about his own business.
Anjiu found the bathroom according to the signs, changed into a long skirt, and tidied her messy hair in front of the mirror. She looked much cleaner and neater.
"It's all about living," she said to herself in the mirror.
In the next few days, the world will become more and more volatile and the environment will become more cruel, so a safe shelter is essential.
She didn't want to be too far away from the commercial district full of supplies, and the Wanhua community in front of her was her best choice.
Anjiu sat on the bench in the bus shelter, looking at the security guard standing guard in the booth opposite, patiently waiting for dark.
In order to ensure that she had enough energy, she took out a steamed bun from the space and ate it slowly. Soon she discovered that pedestrians needed to swipe their access cards to enter and exit the small door, and the security guard's face was always facing the road.
This was good news, she could just follow someone else in and sneak in.
It was just getting dark, and the street lights lit up one after another. A bus packed with people slowly drove in. After the door opened, a large group of people got out.
The opportunity is here.
Anjiu quickly stood up, crossed the street and followed them.
However, three observant girls turned around to look at her, focusing on the pair of dirty shoes with toes almost showing - they did not match the newly released skirt at all.
When Anjiu gave a wry smile and an embarrassed expression, they withdrew their gazes and considerately held the door for Anjiu.
"Thank you."
Even with masks on, they couldn't hide their laughter. One of them asked, "Sister, which building do you live in?"
An Jiu glanced at the school name on their uniforms and answered casually, "Building 6, your school is really strict, even hairstyles are regulated."
The girls all touched their bangs, exchanged glances, nodded with a smile, and then trotted to the left at the fork in the road ahead. There was only one building there with a number 1 marked on the outer wall.
Anjiu continued walking along the main road, observing the building numbers of each building, the way to get in, and how many households had lights on in the building.
In the center of the community is a large square, where residents gather for a walk after dinner. Pet dogs sniff around in the flower beds and bark from time to time.
On the other side, a dozen aunts started arguing over the distribution of square dance costumes.
An Jiu listened and heard that they were talking about a good friend who wanted to join them, so they had to get a few more sets of clothes.
The voices of two of the tall aunts were high and sharp. They glared at each other and refused to give in. At the same time, they grabbed a piece of clothing and refused to let go.
The plump aunt next to him couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "Stop arguing. You two have such a good relationship. Why do you have to quarrel over a piece of clothing? Just ask Lao Liu to order a few more sets of clothes. The courier will deliver them in a few days. What are you doing? We have been friends for several years. How can we continue to be friends if you quarrel over it?"
