《The paper man I raised is the boss of the end of the world (MTL)》Chapter 23: The first gift my cub gave me

Chapter 23
After Shen Cheng received the daily task reward, she relentlessly charged 160RMB to turn on the acceleration. After she closed the game and looked at her simple room, she still felt a little distressed in her heart.
It's like returning to reality from a fairy tale world. The sense of difference in that moment made people feel empty inside.
In retrospect, it seems that it was the first time she spent so much money playing a game-counting back and forth, she has spent 260 yuan so far, which is enough for her food for a week.
Although the game experience is very good, both the characters and the plot line did make her feel the joy of krypton gold, and also experienced the fun of helping the villain, but if she spends money at such a speed... Shen Cheng is sure that she Actually going bankrupt.
It is impossible not to play games, and it is impossible for children to suffer.
She didn't want to just throw away the game. I don't know why, after seeing the Tenglong Base, Shen Cheng suddenly felt that she really had a responsibility for her cub on her shoulders---Is he doing well, will it be like the Tenglong Base? The ordinary people in here always live in the dark, all depending on the degree of involvement of the mother.
Shen Cheng wants to see him grow.
I want to know the story behind the melancholy, pause, and tired expression he shows from time to time.
I want to ease the sadness in his eyes, and I want to see that he can be fulfilled in the life of the game.
But...she needs a lot of money.
Throttling can no longer be throttled, the only way may be open source.
Open source...how to open source?
Shen Cheng studied for a long time until she saw a news: the country has let go of street stalls!
Shen Cheng suddenly remembered the stalls in the Tenglong Base that she had seen in the game: the economic reference conditions of the stalls get!

Li Weilan felt his sleeve being pulled again.
His originally irritable and gloomy mood turned sunny almost instantly.
Where is she going?
Feeling her pull gently, like a little girl with a little excited tentativeness, the corner of Li Weilan's mouth, which he didn't even notice, opened a little smile.
Like pulling it out.
Does she want to go shopping on the street?
But didn't you just go there during the day?
Li Weilan had some doubts in her heart, but she followed her wishes and walked into the night market, which was more lively than during the day.
The street market at Tenglong Base is more lively at night than during the day.
After thinking about it, Shen Cheng guessed the reason: the power users in the Tenglong base have to go out with the team to chop zombies to collect prey during the day, or work in various buildings. At night, the zombies become extra active, and the overall dark environment is not good for humans. Friendly, then they will naturally return to the base to consume.

This is completely logical.
Unexpectedly, a mere game has such subtle details! It's a five-star rated game!
This thought flashed through Shen Cheng's mind, she blinked, and suddenly felt a very strong sense of substitution: the sense of substitution in this game comes from its details, maybe like her who usually plays games and likes to prostitute for nothing The reason why people can't help krypton gold is not only because of the beautiful villains, but also because the world behind this story is so subtle, and there is no sense of disobedience in every place.
Shen Cheng was in high spirits and pulled Li Weilan to look at the stalls one by one carefully.
This time is different from the daytime, she is no longer thinking about simply buying and buying, but observing these stall owners from the other side.
For example... how did they sell it?
Also, what do they sell, and which stalls have the best business?
Her perspective is limited to one or two meters in front of and behind Li Weilan. Shen Cheng often has to pull his sleeve after watching it carefully for a while. The cub on the phone screen is obedient and considerate and walks around exactly as she wants. She didn't have the slightest impatience at her trivial request that he wanted him to take two steps back and two steps forward.
While watching the system's introduction to the items on the booth, Shen Cheng felt a special warmth in her heart: My cub is so good, ooh, ooh, grandma will definitely spend more money on you!
Li Weilan, who was dragged away by her, could feel that person's special concentration this time.
During the day, she was more of encouraging him to buy, buy, buy, but this time, she seemed to be curiously and intently observing every detail on the street.
She stayed at two of the stalls for a longer period of time.
Is there anything special about these two stalls?
Li Weilan frowned slightly.
The first stall sells fruit: on its chopping board, there are some cut fruits that look fresh and tender, and some power users with girls who pass by usually buy one---the price tag There are only two types of prices, 5 credits and 10 credits, that are explicitly inserted into each serving of fruit.
Li Weilan's shrewd brain calculated the profit in an instant.
But no matter how profitable it is, for a person who can give himself 100,000 credit points casually, such a petty profit is nothing at all!
Or, is she just greedy and wants to eat one?
That's right, although this 'guardian angel' has only spoken once, but the voice is still a young girl. Li Weilan saw that most of the women who are not so sensitive to prices are indeed women, and she thought she had guessed something.
He didn't hesitate any longer, and said to the man behind the price sign at the stall, "Come here for 10 credits."
"...?" Shen Cheng stared blankly at Li Weilan who bought a piece of fruit with 10 credit points, but didn't eat it. He just held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, with a strange smile on his face. .

"..." Cub, what about your enthusiasm for not buying anything during the day? Where did you go? Besides, just buy it, why are you still laughing so strangely?
Forget it, just buy it if you want.
Shen Cheng didn't take this little episode to heart, she just thought that the cub was tired and greedy, she turned her attention to the stall opposite: two were selling clothes, one obviously bought more people, the other one It can be said that the door can be broken.
The stall owner who no one bought was shouting vigorously. Shen Cheng saw a small bubble on her head every second, and sweat was dripping off her face, but the goods in front of her were not missing at all. The stall next to it that was always patronized was only half of the clothes left.
Why is this so?
Shen Cheng put his finger on the goods they were selling.
[washed down jacket]
[Treated wool coat]
【Cleaned woolen coat】
This is the item of the person who sold it well. The price she sells is also very cheap. One piece is only about 5 credit points. Shen Cheng is quite curious about the prefixes of these items. After thinking about it, she does not quite understand why the game is played. The words 'cleaned' should be specially marked.
"Their clothes..." Small bubbles appeared on Li Weilan's head, "They were all picked up from the dead and taken care of."
Perhaps realizing her doubts, Li Weilan suddenly whispered something.
"!!!" Shen Orange froze for a while.
She turned her attention to the other stall.
The same warm clothes, the price of the other one is twice that of this one.
Perhaps for people in the game world, it doesn't matter whether the dead pass through or not. What matters is the scarcity of credit points, so the system emphasizes the word 'cleaned'.
I don't know why, but Shen Cheng's mood was a little down.
However, she really can't do this business of clothes: the reason why she can make a fortune in the game world is mainly because the manufacturing industry of human beings is almost zero after the end of the world.
On the one hand, there is no new output, and on the other hand, there are still the needs of the living. Naturally, humans who can survive will not be as selective as when they have abundant products. Even if it is the clothes worn by the dead, as long as the warmth and cold resistance are enough Well, they will buy it and wear it too.
If you compare it like this, the fruit business you just saw... seems more appropriate!
Shen Cheng pondered for a while, originally wanted to drag Li Weilan to take a closer look, but Li Weilan had already turned around and entered a dark alley next to it, and there was no one at first sight. He put down the small fruit box in the dark, He smiled lightly at the empty place in the air, and a speech bubble appeared on his head again: "Do you want to eat it? This one is for you."
He stood quietly in the empty, dark box, seeing that the fruit didn't move for a long time, and he didn't feel disappointed, just smiled slightly and turned around: "I put it here, you can take it yourself. , don't look at them envious, I'll buy you everything you want."
"???" Grandma... can't get it.
Shen Cheng's eyes widened, only to hear her heart pounding non-stop at that moment, she almost instantly felt hot on her face, and when she touched it, she flushed: Cubs are too good at flirting, right?
But after a few minutes, the heartbeat turned into a satisfied sourness: she is not as good as the cub, and the cub gave her money without hesitation. At the beginning, she felt distressed even for 1 yuan!
Woohoo, I'm sorry, mama!
Li Weilan quietly glanced at the corner of the wall, smiled and turned to leave.
However, Shen Cheng was reluctant to leave, and the camera kept on the fruit box in the dark.
It didn't stay quiet for too long, and suddenly a young man with cat ears appeared in the dark place. He looked around vigilantly, grabbed the fruit box on the ground with a swipe and jumped up and ran. In a flash, it dexterously merged into the shadow at the end of the street.
"!!!" That was given to me by my cub! lay down! Stole something! robber!
Who let you take it!
Shen Cheng's eyes widened: she was sure that the cub was talking to her in the void just now, where is this wild child, grab whatever you want, and the worst thing is that you didn't even say thank you. !
Woohoo, poor grandma has grown so big, it's the first time I received a gift from the cub!
But a few minutes later, the sadness in Shen Cheng's heart hadn't subsided, but Li Weilan dragged the boy with a dark face and appeared at the end of the alley.
He said angrily: "Who asked you to take it?"
"Isn't it you?" The cat-eared boy's mouth kept twitching, and red juice flowed down the corners of his mouth, "You told me just now not to envy others!"
"..." Li Weilan was speechless for the first time.
He looked into the void and saw that the person had never appeared, and a layer of sadness gradually appeared in his eyes.
Looking at the cat-eared boy again, he felt a little disgusted.
"Hey, big brother, don't go!" The boy grabbed his hand, "I agreed to buy it for me! Take me with you!"
"???"
The two people in front of the phone and in the screen showed headaches at the same time.
