I run a food city in the last days

The distribution ended soon, and Axiong shouted: "I'm so hungry, can I eat?"

Everyone had no objection, so they quietly took out the food, and everyone gathered together the unused beef patties and fried bananas from the ring, and started eating in a lively manner.

Jiang Yi had the smallest amount of food and was the first to finish it. She didn’t know if it was the sequelae of trying out the powers that appeared just now. She felt a strong and irresistible sleepiness. After struggling for a while, she finally couldn’t bear it anymore and told everyone. With a cry, he staggered to sleep.

After she left, Axiong finally couldn't help it anymore: "Boss, how did the boss do it today?"

This question solved everyone's doubts, and everyone looked at Gu Huaiting with bright eyes.

He smiled wryly and spread his hands: "I'm not an encyclopedia. How can I know everything?"

Axiong muttered: "But I have never seen you fail to answer, boss."

"Then you saw it today," he said frankly, "I really don't know what happened."

Everyone was a little disappointed. He looked at everyone seriously and said in a deep voice: "Obviously the boss has a secret. If she doesn't intend to mention it, I hope everyone will not get to the bottom of it. Don't rely on a good relationship with the boss to have no bottom line."

He gave Axiong a particularly serious look, and he curled his lips: "I know, I won't ask further."

"Also, if this matter spreads out, it will definitely cause an uproar. I hope everyone can keep it a secret, even if they return to their respective bases and don't tell their relatives."

This time he was looking at Zheng Huijuan. As we all know, many members of Mulan Base are related to each other by blood, so they get along closer than other bases.

Zheng Huijuan thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand, we won't tell anyone."

As soon as she made her commitment, the other three girls followed suit.

Gu Huaiting also knew that this kind of verbal promise could not really restrict anything, but that was all he could do. He only hoped that the magical safe zone would be powerful enough to protect his boss after the news spread.

……

After waking up, Jiang Yiyin finally had time to think about how to explain yesterday's battle.

I had tricked myself into getting a safe zone power, and now I suddenly had the ice arrow power... Oh, people really can't lie casually, otherwise sooner or later they will have to use more lies to fill the previous loopholes.

She covered her head in annoyance. She really didn't want to deceive these friends who were already "born and died". It was just a matter of the system, and she really couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

After being upset for a while, she decided to open a box first to ease her mood.

After calling up the system background, I discovered that the inexplicable task had changed.

The line "Punishment" is gone, replaced by "#￥&*Number of fragments collected (1/9)".

There are a total of 9 pieces of this unknown metal. You need some luck to collect them all.

But she suddenly thought that maybe the system was secretly guiding her to get closer to these fragments. Just like this time, the task of going out to explore five bases came out suddenly. Thinking about it carefully, it happened to be after everyone confirmed the trade route.

Then the system suddenly popped up a mission about climbing the ladder. To be honest, she knew very well how much she weighed. If it weren’t for the punishment of this mission, even if Longwu’s people forced her to compete in the final challenge, she would It may not be so happy to play.

It was precisely because they won and she really helped that when the task of metal pieces appeared later, she was able to get it so easily without having to rack her brains for any explanation.

Thinking about it this way, the system indeed contributed to her successfully getting the metal piece.

"What on earth is this? Is it a product of your hometown?" She murmured and asked, but as expected, she received no answer.

Putting the metal piece down, she chose to open the treasure chest, expecting to get a trial version of another power, which would help her finally make up her mind about which power to buy.

But it backfired, and when the light faded, she saw a cartoonish image of a small body of water.

A magical pond that can produce anything.

Boy, that's a long name, so she decided to call it Magic Pond for short.

After reading the introduction, she figured out how the pond worked. Simply put, it was a lottery pool.

She can choose to put in anything, even a stone picked up casually, and the pond will give her different aquatic products according to the value of the input items.

It just so happens that the system still has no channel for purchasing aquatic products, but the output of the magical pond is uncertain. Even if you put in exactly the same thing, you may not get the same aquatic products, as long as the system determines that the value is equal.

The Magic Pond is a virtual item, but it can only be activated and used within the food city. She had to regretfully store the item in the background of the system, and wait until she returns to try the joy of opening the blind box.

……

What she didn't expect was that everyone kept silent about what happened yesterday, as if it was normal for her to use ice powers.

This made Jiang Yiyin, who lacked common sense, think that "it was probably really normal" until Gu Huaiting called her aside alone:

"Boss, in the future, unless you have to, don't...take action." He carefully selected his words, "in case someone is interested in you and wants to take out your secrets at any cost."

His eyes dropped to her bandaged hand, and he added: "Superpowers will not harm the user. If you encounter a situation where you must use superpowers next time, don't expose such flaws."

Only then did she realize that it was not that things were normal, but that everyone had a tacit agreement not to question her.

She was a little moved, but also a little guilty, and whispered: "I... that... didn't mean to hide it from you..."

"I understand," Gu Huaiting said in a gentle tone, "Everyone has their own secrets. In fact, I do too. It's nothing. And if you hadn't created the opportunity this time, we wouldn't have won so easily. To be honest, you took action in time. , I was greatly relieved that Jingjing was not allowed to use her powers."

He looked behind him and confirmed that there was no one else before whispering: "Otherwise Captain Zheng will lose his temper, and I will be a little scared."

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yiyin chuckled and lowered his voice: "I didn't expect Captain Gu to be afraid of anyone."

"Everyone is afraid," he smiled slightly, "so I ask Boss Jiang to keep it a secret for me."

"That is required."

The emotion just now had dissipated after this interruption, and it was only now that she realized that maybe she was just making up all the fear, and Gu Huaiting just didn't want to embarrass her.

……

As a result of winning the ladder, their business talks at Longwu Base went very smoothly. However, the other party's plan to buy beef patties in large quantities fell through. Boss Jiang injured her hand and Gu Huaiting refused to let her work hard, so in the end only half of the beef patties were sold as planned. Give inventory to the other party.

There were no ingredients she wanted to buy here, so Gu Huaiting bought some Longwu specialties to take back and sell, and then the group set off again.

The fourth base was farther away and took about a week on the road, so they arrived at a campsite on the first night.

This time they were not the only guests, a young woman had already moved in.
