Chapter 137: Chapter 080: End of Newbie Protection Period_2

Fries + tomato, before the apocalypse, they were a perfect match, now even more so.

No one should be able to resist their allure.

A moment later.

A group of Beastman NPCs also threw themselves into the embrace of delicious food.

"Hamburgers, give me ten more."

"Fried chicken, I want ten pieces."

"Fries for me... ten, no, twenty servings."

"..."

"Ying ying ying, I’ve devoured quite a sum of money."

"Same here."

"Are we coming back to eat tomorrow?"

"Forget it, let’s come eat! Worst case, we’ll just fight more Demon Beasts. As long as I make money faster, it’s as if I’ve spent nothing."

"..."

Even the frugal Beastmen knelt down in surrender before the territory’s gourmet food.

You can hide on the first day, but not the fifteenth!

**

Zhou Bai returned right at this moment.

Seeing the bustling scene of the territory, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

But she had already prepared herself mentally.

After the shops opened, she received what was called tax revenue from the territory, and a constant stream of reminders accompanied her on her way.

At first, when there was no tax revenue from the territory’s official stores and trading areas, she thought the tax rate was merely for show. But eventually, it applied to the commercial activities on Commercial Street.

Currently, there are five shops opened on Commercial Street, which also happened to be the earliest to lease the shops. Judging from their speed of opening, it was clear that they came prepared.

With that in mind, Zhou Bai started looking at the names of these five shops.

The first shop: Wood Workshop.

The second shop: noodle shop.

The third shop: Hamburger Shop

The fourth shop: Equipment Shop

The fifth shop: Convenience Hall

Zhou Bai understood what the first four shops were about just from their names, but the fifth one, she really couldn’t guess.

Thinking it over, Zhou Bai went to the fifth shop.

Upon entering, she saw all sorts of dried meats, vegetables, and fruits neatly packed on both sides of the counter, along with samples for tasting.

But what might be the most eye-catching was the thing wrapped in broad, dry leaves sitting in the middle - it was hard to see what was inside, but a wooden board next to it had three characters written on it.

#Instant Noodles#

Impressive, my residents.

Noticing Zhou Bai’s gaze, a clerk came over to greet her.

"Hey hey, they are instant noodles, although the seasoning isn’t comparable to before, our boss has a unique recipe, it also comes with a small vegetable pack. Adding a bit of hot water, you can mix and eat it outdoors or have it warm. The taste is definitely good. If you want to save time and not return to the territory for a meal or if you are traveling far for a task, this is a must-have. Adding some of our dried meat, which is seasoned with our secret recipe and comes in various flavors, makes it all the better..."

Under the clerks’ sky-high praises, Zhou Bai who longed for the taste of instant noodles and hadn’t had snacks for a while, ended up buying quite a lot, then was dizzyingly ushered out the door.

The moment she stepped outside, she heard a clerk warmly introducing the products to another person who just entered, and that’s when it hit her.

She chuckled.

While chewing on the dried meat, appreciating its unique flavor and chewiness, Zhou Bai waited not far from the shops.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before she saw Ding Qiurou walking out of the territory. As soon as Ding saw Zhou Bai, she walked over to her with a smile, "I heard several shops had opened here, so I thought I’d come to the city gate and wait with you and your dad for a meal."

"I knew you would come, so I waited here," Zhou Bai also smiled.

Even as everyone became busier and their time together lessened, this meal in the evening, unless something special came up, was always eaten together.

Mother and daughter shared a knowing smile, and Zhou Bai handed over the freshly bought dried meat to Ding Qiurou.

Ding Qiurou ate a piece and her eyes lit up, "This craftsmanship isn’t bad!"

"There are plenty of flavors too! You can buy some later for a snack."

"Okay," Ding Qiurou agreed immediately.

As the two chatted casually, Zhou Zhengping and his group returned.

At first glance, they too noticed the changes in the territory.

They had experienced a surprise outside, only to come back to an even bigger one.

Listening to the excited chatter within the soldier team, Zhou Zhengping’s gaze searched through the crowd until he saw his wife and daughter waiting for him, and a brilliant smile spread across his face.

After a tiring day, seeing them felt like all the fatigue had washed away.

"I’m going to find my wife and daughter, you guys do as you please." Dropping Li Xingteng and the others, Zhou Zhengping cheerfully headed towards Zhou Bai.
