I run a food city in the last days

"Isn't it possible?" Gu Huaiting asked.

"Of course, but do you know the rules of climbing the ladder?" The leader looked at them over and over again, his tone full of joking.

Of course Jiang Yiyin didn't know, but she looked at Gu Huaiting's confident look, so she naturally suppressed her doubts in her heart and looked calm.

The few people at Longwu Base didn't see anything from their expressions. Instead, they were slapped in the face by Ah Xiong's impatience: "That's fine, what are you doing with your grinding?"

The guide smiled: "Okay, since you have the courage, there is no need to go to the place where you live. After all..."

He deliberately prolonged his tone, and it took him a long while to say the following: "The mortality rate of climbing the ladder is not low. If you die, there is no need to prepare this residence."

"You——" Axiong jumped violently, but was held down by Gu Huaiting.

He looked at the guide indifferently, and smiled slowly: "Wealth can be found in danger."

The leader was struck by his momentum, his enthusiasm for watching the excitement faded a little, and he turned around to lead the way.

A few guys who were talking nonsense still followed up as if they were watching a good show. Gu Huaiting glanced at them warningly, and walked to her side with a wrong step. At the same time, several of his other teammates also tacitly gathered around and surrounded her. All female members were protected inside.

When they arrived at the place, the leader said they were looking for someone to open the procedures for climbing the ladder. The people who were causing trouble stood a little far away, and they finally had space to talk alone.

Zheng Huijuan spoke first: "You don't have to stand up for us next time. We don't take these guys seriously yet."

She glanced around at the guard postures of Gu Huaiting and others, and chuckled: "We are not delicate young ladies, Captain Gu doesn't have to be like this."

Gu Huaiting bowed slightly: "You have misunderstood. I just think those people's eyes are offensive to you. We are all teammates and we should protect each other."

The expressions of Zheng Huijuan and others softened a little. She nodded: "In that case, I hope Team Gu will arrange for a few of us to play when we climb the ladder."

"That's natural, I'm just relying on your strength."

Jiang Yiyin couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is a ladder to heaven?"

Gu Huaiting and Zheng Huijuan laughed together, which somehow diluted the tension just now.

From their explanations, she finally understood the meaning of the words "ladder to heaven".

This is an entertainment activity spread from the Eden base. It is a competition between superpowers. It is somewhat similar to the sports games in the past. The winner will receive honors and rewards because this kind of competition is very beneficial to the growth of superpowers. , so it gradually became popular in all major bases.

But gradually, Ladder to Heaven showed different features in different bases.

In some places it is "friendship first, competition second", but in other places it is "no matter life or death, the winner is king".

Longwu Base is the latter.

Since everyone can compete with their lives in the ladder, the final benefits are naturally much richer than in a friendly match. Therefore, although it is cruel, the reputation of the Longwu Base ladder still spreads.

"Isn't that dangerous?" She suddenly became nervous, not quite understanding why he would choose to participate in such a dangerous activity.

Gu Huaiting smiled: "Because I want to solve the problem at once."

She tilted her head in confusion.

"The reputation of Longwu Base is skewed among the major bases, but it is much better than Changxing and others. In addition, there are some special products here that are worth transporting back for sale, so I included it as one of the trade routes. , but I didn’t expect that the atmosphere here is much worse than before, and it is so blatantly disrespectful to women..."

Thinking again of the eyes and tone of those people just now, his face darkened: "This is a mistake in my early preparations. If we give in even half a point, they will only push forward. But even if we drive away the group of people just now, there will be more in the future." There are countless troubles, and what Longwu people say is right, there are indeed very few men and women with the same ratio as ours in the ranks outside."

Zheng Huijuan and others wanted to say something, but he raised his hand to stop them and spoke faster: "Of course I know your strength, but in the eyes of many people with powers, women are equal to resources. This is an undeniable problem."

Resentment flashed in Zheng Huijuan's eyes, and she snorted coldly for a while, but did not refute his words, which showed that this was indeed a fact.

"Once we are recognized by them as having a chance, all kinds of troubles will keep appearing like flies. It would be annoying to deal with them one at a time. Moreover, we don't know if anyone will follow us after we leave and want to take advantage of us in the wild."

Gu Huaiting looked over: "Boss Jiang, don't forget that your friend is still waiting for us in the wild. I don't think you want him to kill too many people with powers, right?"

"Of course not." She shook her head quickly.

Just kidding, that kid was already on Eden's arrest list. If he continues to kill, he will become the public enemy of the survivors sooner or later. By then, the world will really be huge but there will be nowhere to stay.

"So after weighing it, I feel that participating in the Ladder to Heaven, straightforwardly showing our strength, and letting everyone know that we are not easy-to-provoke sheep, but tigers that can easily kill people is the way to go once and for all."

He suddenly glanced at the group of people and smiled lowly: "And then Captain Zheng, you can also vent your dissatisfaction."

Zheng Huijuan reacted, her anger dissipated, and she smiled in a good mood: "Then thank you Captain Gu for your support. Make sure to leave those pieces of garbage to me."

The two of them seemed to have made an agreement in just a few words, and Jiang Yiyin also heard the system prompt.

When I called up the background, I saw that the system had just released a new task:

Help everyone win the ladder. Completion rewards: blue diamond*10, treasure chest*1. Failure penalty: Food City Shop -1.

She looked at her. This task was very strange. It seemed to have nothing to do with the management of the food city, but it was a punishing task, and one of the shops in the food city actually had to be deducted.

Including the shops that have not yet been activated, she now only has three shops in total, and this deduction is one-third.

You must know that the main mission requires running a food city, which has requirements for the number of stores, revenue, customer flow, etc., and one store is deducted for no reason. If the final mission is not completed, she will cry to death?

So in summary, she must complete this task.

It's just that she can't figure it out yet. She hasn't been able to buy the power yet. How can she help everyone in this kind of competition?

"System," she asked tentatively, "How about you let me buy a power on credit first?"

The system showed no response and rejected her wonderful proposal with silence.

While she was competing with the system, the leader of Longwu Base came over and told them that the procedures for climbing the ladder had been completed and the competition would start in an hour.

Knowing that they were merchants, he said maliciously: "I advise you to dispose of the goods first to avoid..."
