Chapter 118 - 118 117 Territory Specialty Store118: Chapter 117: Territory Specialty Store 118: Chapter 117: Territory Specialty Store The next morning, at Tree House 101, the room that had been rented out and kept closed finally opened, and Professor Du walked out.

Lu You, who happened to pass by, saw her coming out and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Professor Du and Professor Su were now a double-income family in the post-apocalyptic world.

They had free housing allocated at the Quarry Camp.

Why would they bother renting a house as well?

He really wanted to ask Professor Du, but unfortunately, he had yelled too loudly yesterday, and his voice was hoarse.

At that moment, Professor Du altered the appearance of the Tree House, adding a signboard to the house.

Territory Specialty Store?

Professor Du opened a store?

No, wait, given the name, it’s the Lord’s store!

Lu You walked to the entrance of the shop, pointed at the signboard, and struggled to whisper three words: “The Lord’s?”

Professor Du smiled and nodded, “The Lord opened it to give back to us.

There’s vegetables and meat, supplied in limited quantities, and each person is limited to a certain amount.

Would you like to come in and take a look?”

Professor Du’s voice is really good!

Just yesterday, he had watched her shouting so loudly, yet today her voice was even better than his.

You can’t underestimate the old folks who have survived the apocalypse!

Lu You looked at Professor Du admiringly.

Once inside the shop, Lu You felt that compared to other stores, this one was exceptionally simple, with a style reminiscent of the supply and marketing cooperatives from the 70s and 80s on Blue Star.

The goods were clear at a glance, taking up most of the long counter, with dew-laden vegetables and fruits, fresh beef, mutton, and rabbit meat, as well as unprocessed cowhide, sheepskin, and rabbit fur, all divided into small portions.

Next to it hung a wooden board with beautifully written charcoal pencil characters.

“Today’s Supply”

“Vegetables: 1 copper coin/portion”

“Fruits: 2 copper coins/portion”

“Rabbit Meat: 3 copper coins/portion”

“Mutton: 4 copper coins/portion”

“Beef: 5 copper coins/portion”

...

“Gift: One piece of mint candy personally made by the Lord, while supplies last”

“Note: Limit one portion per person.”

Looking at the first part of the list, Lu You thought the prices were super cheap.

For instance, vegetables—a sack of potatoes was also considered vegetables, and the quantity was enough for his entire squad to be three-parts full, all for just 1 copper coin—these were giveaway prices, not to mention the meat.

Their squad often hunted, so they were not in want of meat, but they did lack vegetables and fruits.

Without being at the brink of starvation, they rarely touched the vegetables from the camp’s public garden, and the variety wasn’t as abundant as here.

He wished he could stockpile a lot.

But upon seeing the last part about the limit of one portion, Lu You immediately pulled out a copper coin, picked up a portion of his favorite glowing cucumbers, and ran off, not forgetting to grab his piece of mint candy.

He had to bring his teammates over before anyone else discovered this place!

Thank heavens the Specialty Store was so out of the way!

As he ran, Lu You unwrapped the mint candy and popped it into his mouth.

Instantly, a cool sensation brushed down his throat, mixed with a sweet taste, incredibly refreshing.

“Good eat!” His throat produced a vague hint of sound.

The soothing efficacy of this candy was simply amazing!

And it tasted exceptionally great!

Glory to the Lord!

Lu You ran back to the Tree House at top speed, only to find that his teammates all had the habit of early training—only Guo Xiao was in the house.

He strained to finish talking about the Territory Specialty Store with his hoarse voice, urging his teammates to hurry and buy vegetables while he continued to notify others.

By the time he had notified everyone and ran back to the Territory Specialty Store, a long queue had already formed at the entrance.

The line was shrinking rapidly, as each person coming out had something tucked in their mouth, their faces brimming with the joy of snagging a great deal.

In less than an hour, all the regular specialties had sold out, and those who arrived late could only soothe their sweet tooth with a piece of mint candy, watching enviously as others jubilantly exchanged or made plans to share their share of vegetables, leaving behind tears of frustration.

But soon, those with a sweet taste in their mouths found a sense of superiority in those who hadn’t even managed to get a freebie, smacking their lips and boasting loudly around them.

“Ah, it’s really sweet, my throat feels so much better now!”

“The lord herself made it, super delicious, I still have half a piece left for later when to eat it?”

“I couldn’t speak just a moment ago, but after eating a candy, I feel so much better, listen, can you hear that I have a voice now?”

“Enough already, you in front, I’ll buy that half piece left.

Name your price!”

“Oh, why didn’t you say so sooner?

I accidentally popped it in my mouth, but how about I take it out now, do you want it?”

“Scram!”

...

Once the vegetables were sold out, the players’ attention was caught by the only two compartments in the shelf behind the counter that contained items.

“What is that?” Unable to get the candy personally made by Boss Mu, Liu Luoluo, who got half from her boyfriend Si Qing, asked with her cheeks puffed.

“This is a special product of the territory,” Professor Du introduced calmly, “This is the binding vine seed cultivated by the lord, a kind of mutant plant.

Once grown, it can protect homes; it will obey whoever plants it.

There’s some planted outside the courtyard built by the lord in the middle of the gravel path—it protects travelers.

The new residents who arrived yesterday should know about it.”

“Right, I know, it’s incredibly powerful.

Last night, a huge vicious dog tried to ambush us, and it was those vines that dealt with it!” Shen Hao said loudly.

“I remember him, he just arrived last night, said he went to the same high school as the lord.”

“Such a great item!”

“How much?” Liu Luoluo asked.

By the sound of it, the binding vines are alive?

If you were to ask her, as a Priest, which ability of other Spell Casting profession she was most envious of, Druids’ animal companions and Mages’ Magic Pets would definitely be on that list.

“One Gold Coin each, guaranteed to grow,” Professor Du looked at them expectantly, witnessing everyone’s uniform shock.

“That expensive?”

“You didn’t misspeak, did you?”

“One hundred copper coins equal one silver coin, one hundred silver coins equal one Gold Coin, one Gold Coin equals...

10,000 copper coins!

Can’t afford it, can’t afford it.”

Professor Du shook his head, “Special products are all made by our lord herself; they cannot be mass-produced, and there isn’t much stock, so the price is high.

Everyone should consume rationally and consider whether they really need it.”

“What are these bottles and jars?” Liu Luoluo tried to shift her gaze away from the seeds to the side.

“This is the hair dyeing magic potion, which can dye your hair all sorts of colors,” Professor Du said as he brought out a bunch of hair samples of different colors (with materials generously provided by Yuan Gungun and the Wolf Pack), “These are dyed samples, with prices marked on them.”

“Did Boss Mu make these too?” Liu Luoluo asked in surprise.

Professor Du nodded.

Liu Luoluo, with her sharp eyes, spotted the familiar dark green among the hair dye samples.

Surely Boss Mu’s hair wasn’t dyed with this magic potion?

She wasn’t the only one thinking this, many people had similar speculations.

If it weren’t for the fact that the dark green hair dye magic potion was priced exorbitantly, some people would probably have bought it to try out.

In fact, that strand of dark green hair in the sample was from Mu Ying herself, placed there to deceive and confuse.

She had not yet managed to create a dark green hair dyeing magic potion.

If eventually everyone’s finances improved, and Mu Ying still couldn’t produce a dark green hair dyeing magic potion, she would preemptively remove the sample of that color, saying the materials were hard to find.
