Chapter 48: Killing Eerie Shops at Night, a Meat Bun Shop by Day!

In this world of eerie apocalypse, it's the law of the jungle.

Be more malevolent than the malevolent spirits, fiercer than the fierce spirits!

Therefore, Lin Chen would not show any mercy towards anomalous creatures.

This "heretical" method of using the flesh and blood of anomalous creatures was also something he would fearlessly employ.

Moreover, an eerie shop that targets anomalous creatures is a righteous shop that negates negativity!

Who dares to criticize?

He would use the remains of these anomalous creatures to light up this endless night!

After this small part of the night passed, Lin Chen's spiritual power was depleted, so he closed shop.

Calculating his earnings, he obtained two to three portions of white eerie object materials, and two portions of "Burning Saber Fiendish Wine" (white);

As well as a pair of "Face-Cutting Daggers" (green) left by the [Slit-Mouthed Woman].

These were weapons left by the [Slit-Mouthed Woman] after slitting the mouths of countless beings, possessing extremely potent fiendish energy.

They could be given to Sun Erniang as weapons first, to enhance her [Earth Fiend Evil Star] trait with their fiendish energy.

The other anomalous creature corpses were hung in the "Flesh Workshop" on the second floor as flesh reserves.

The results were quite good, translating to a material profit of over 100,000 in one night, though he still needed to find a channel to cash it in.

And it also served as practice for his cards.

A sharp sword comes from grinding, and the spirituality of cards is the same; it needs to be improved through frequent use, which is the so-called brushing up proficiency.

Especially Sun Erniang, who had a field day this past night;

It had to be said, eerie instances were too suitable for her. Here, she was a natural hunter and butcher.

Conversely, in reality, she had no place to utilize her skills, her entire repertoire of deception and trickery rendered useless, leaving her only to be an unremarkable shop proprietress.

Furthermore, his [Gold-Consuming Black Shop]'s spirituality was also subtly increasing, especially the "Flesh Workshop" on the second floor, where the blood energy was becoming increasingly dense;

If it continued to develop like this, it would undoubtedly boost the output of materials.

Building cards also possessed spirituality, but it was unconscious spirituality; they could only be leveled up by continuous use and strengthening their traits.

Compared to the Door God Temple, it did seem a bit lacking.

After all, the Door God Temple could absorb faith power.

At this moment, Lin Chen's mind suddenly took a turn.

The Door God Temple was a building site that could absorb faith. Could his [Gold-Consuming Black Shop], also a building card, absorb faith power?

This required understanding what faith power truly was.

Currently, the faith power in this world was quite vague.

"What is faith?"

There was a famous saying from his previous life about love:

"You only like an ordinary person, but your liking bestows a golden body upon them."

This meant that love projected itself into a form of faith, empowering the other person.

From this perspective, faith was a form of emotional satisfaction.

It could also be established with other emotional feedback:

The debauched revelry of the Cult of the God of Wine satisfied desires and joy;

The Door Gods provided protection, fulfilling the need for security and the will to survive.

The God of Wealth, the God of Agriculture, the Kitchen God, and so on – various divine beings represented humanity's diverse needs and desires.

But in the end, what believers sought could be summed up in one sentence:

"If you can help me, I'll believe in you!"

The Door God Temple gained offerings, the Church of Light collected piety, and the Cult of the Wine God absorbed fervor... On the surface, their methods differed;

but in essence, they all relied on the[positive emotional feedback]generated when a believer's "needs" were met!

Lin Chen could completely use this by fulfilling the populace's various needs to help his cards gain faith power and advance!

There were many ways to satisfy needs. Lin Chen recalled the very famous Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs from his past life.

This theory proposed that humans have five types of needs:

1. Physiological and Material Needs, 2. Safety and Survival Needs 3. Emotional Comfort Needs 4. External Esteem Needs 5. Ultimate Ideal Needs.

The needs in stages three, four, and five were not urgent for now and were also difficult to satisfy.

The populace's safety and material needs required prioritized fulfillment and were the most pressing!

The Door Gods had already satisfied the populace's safety and survival needs;

so how could physiological needs like clothing, food, housing, and transportation be met?

Food is paramount to the people, so let's start with food!

Now that Lin Chen had a hotel and chefs, couldn't he satisfy the need for "food"!

The world had changed dramatically, and the commercial and catering industries in this realm had also declined.

Coupled with rampant pollution, pure and natural ingredients were also extremely expensive. Most residents ate processed foods, like compressed biscuits and instant noodles.

Lin Chen hadn't eaten any good food since his transmigration.

Therefore, regarding food, the populace indeed had many needs that could be met.

However, opening a shop in this realm was impossible for any Card Master who didn't possess self-preservation abilities!

And Card Masters were too busy improving their own strength to bother opening shops to serve the general populace.

This huge market gap was actually very suitable for Lin Chen!

Lin Chen had the ability to open a shop!

He could replicate the model of the Door God Temple. Once the shop was open, he could have Sun Erniang manage it, which wouldn't delay his time. He could gain faith power for his cards just by sitting there.

Sun Erniang's cooking skills were definitely not bad. He just needed to remember to use normal ingredients for the meat buns and not mix anything up.

Lin Chen planned to start with a small-scale experiment, beginning with his own residential complex!

He first sold his useless eerie object materials in the card market for a little over ten thousand yuan;

then he went to the supermarket and bought a ton of artificially farmed beef and some kitchen ingredients.

The next morning, Lin Chen's spirits were restored.

He then placed a building card in his residential complex.

Sun Erniang deftly made trays of meat buns, hung up a sign, and set up a stall.

The aroma wafted out, immediately attracting many residents from the complex.

Some recognized Lin Chen and knew he was a Card Master;

so they boldly came forward to see what was going on.

Lin Chen explained that he had created a "Chef" Card Spirit, skilled in his ancestral recipe for meat buns.

He was just setting up a stall to sell breakfast and let the Card Spirit level up.

The excellent appearance, rich aroma, coupled with Lin Chen setting an incredibly cheap price;

plus Sun Erniang's enthusiastic greetings and calls;

immediately attracted a large crowd of neighboring residents.

"These look fresh!"

"They smell so good, my mouth is watering!"

"What big meat buns!"

"Give me five to try."

"I'll take ten!"
