Wishing Everyone a Happy Minor New Year

"Infinite power chainsaw..."

Gu Mian looked at the most conspicuous item on the shelf.

This area had everything, from ladders to screwdrivers, it had it all.

Among them were weapons with considerable destructive power, like that sharp machete over there. Gu Mian didn't know how a machete could be classified under mechanical tools.

Not far away, there was a male shop assistant with a beaming smile, slightly chubby.

His eyes lit up when he saw Gu Mian, as if delighted to finally have a customer.

He then took his not-so-long legs and trotted over, the flesh on his face jiggling.

"Sir," the slightly chubby shop assistant panted, running over, "What would you like?"

Gu Mian looked at the chainsaw on the shelf in front of him.

This chainsaw looked extremely ferocious, much larger than a regular chainsaw, about one and a half meters long, almost as long as a middle schooler. The handle was bright orange, very conspicuous.

The saw teeth were like a shark's sharp teeth, each one sharp enough to cut a throat.

The saw body was very sturdy and wouldn't break easily.

Seeing that Gu Mian seemed interested, the shop assistant quickly began to explain.

"This is the infinite power chainsaw. It can be used without electricity and can be put into your inventory. Of course, you can't put it in here in the supermarket, otherwise, we can't check you out. It's a bit heavy to hold, about ten pounds or so..."

"And buying a chainsaw comes with a beautiful package! Carrying it on your back will be like carrying a guitar."

Gu Mian looked at the price tag hanging under the chainsaw.

The selling price was 100 Game Currency, not expensive, at least not for him.

Chu Changge and Fatty had just passed the bedding section when they saw Gu Mian walking towards them, carrying a ferocious chainsaw.

"Holy crap!" Fatty exclaimed, "Doctor, what are you doing? Planning to chop down trees to build a house yourself?"

Gu Mian glanced in the direction of the supermarket entrance. "Didn't they say there were people watching? I don't really want to get into a physical fight with them."

More than a dozen people had already gathered at the supermarket entrance.

The leader was tall and was squinting at the inside of the supermarket entrance.

Wang Xiaolong, standing beside him, lit a cigarette and handed it to him. "Big Brother Zhang, I watched them buy tickets and then enter this supermarket. They just went in not long ago, so they probably won't come out for a while."

"It's fine, I can wait," Big Brother Zhang took the cigarette and took a deep drag, white smoke rising slowly in the night.

Wang Xiaolong lowered his voice again. "Then, Big Brother Zhang... after we snatch the goods, do we leave directly, or..."

His voice was a little shaky; he seemed a bit scared as the moment approached.

Big Brother Zhang flicked the ash from his cigarette. "It depends on whether they're sensible. If they are, and obediently leave the goods behind, I won't make things difficult for them. If I'm in a good mood, I might even leave them a little..."

"If they're not sensible, then don't blame me for being ruthless. That person during the day resisted with all his might, and in the end, all those things still fell into my hands. Heh, someone who values money over their life."

As he spoke, he dropped the cigarette butt and crushed it fiercely with his foot. "That guy during the day was a real pauper. I wonder how much these three are worth tonight."

The people around them shivered slightly at his words, the gruesome scene of the person's death during the day flashing through their minds again.

Meanwhile, inside the supermarket, Gu Mian had deliberately pushed a shopping cart and placed the chainsaw in it, which would save him some effort.

This supermarket had three floors. The first floor was the daily necessities section, the second floor was the clothing section, and the third floor was the food section.

The food section on the third floor was similar to the supermarkets Gu Mian usually visited, but the prices were vastly different from usual.

Fatty was standing in front of a row of freezers, with a smiling server holding a large knife behind the freezer. Inside the freezer were rows of pre-cut meat.

"Pork tenderloin... 200 points a pound?" Fatty exclaimed in shock at the price.

This couldn't be blamed on him.

The prices in the daily necessities section on the first floor and the clothing section on the second floor were quite reasonable, with clothes costing around 10 points each and daily necessities being even cheaper.

But when they reached the food section on the third floor, the prices had increased dozens of times, reaching a terrifying price of 200 points for a pound of meat.

A pound of pork could buy two infinite power chainsaws. The price was truly outrageous.

The server holding the large knife behind the freezer gave a helpless smile. "You can't blame us for being greedy. It's just that the supermarket is priced like this originally. The prices of food and other items are just not on the same level..."

Gu Mian patted Fatty. "This is probably one of the game's methods to stimulate players' enthusiasm."

As he spoke, he looked at the other meats in the freezer. "We don't have to buy pork tenderloin, let's buy something else. Pork belly is only 100 a pound."

Fatty reluctantly turned his gaze elsewhere, at least they could still afford it.

At this time, Chu Changge was wandering in the rice and flour section, and Gu Mian joined him.

The price of rice and flour was slightly cheaper than meat, around 50 points per pound.

Although it was much cheaper than meat, it was still not something ordinary players could afford right now. This game was truly a rip-off.

Gu Mian thought to himself and then moved on to the vegetable section.

The vegetable section had all sorts of vegetables, with prices mostly around a few dozen points per pound.

Those snacks, bread, and instant noodles were also not cheap. In the end, it was more cost-effective to buy raw ingredients and cook for themselves.

The three of them browsed the floor for a while before completing their purchases, after all, they were buying food and couldn't be careless.

Fatty really loved meat.

Gu Mian saw him buy several slabs of pork belly, half a bag of chicken wings, a piece of lamb, and a large bottle of cola.

He chuckled, "I'm going back to make cola chicken wings tonight."

A truly dedicated chef.

Chu Changge, on the other hand, dragged over a bag of rice, a bag of flour, and a box of eggs, enough to last a long time.

Gu Mian bought some vegetables and fruits. Now that he finally had people to cook for him, he had to make good use of it.

As the three of them pushed their items to the checkout, the cashier's eyes widened.

She picked up each item with slightly trembling hands, the computer displaying the cumulative price of all the goods.

"That'll be 2050 points," she said, looking at Gu Mian hesitantly, "Do you have enough money?"

It wasn't her fault for being suspicious.

The game had just started, and the initial Game Currency given out wasn't much. Most players could barely scrape together a hundred points at most by now, and would only buy a pound of flour from the supermarket to get by.

These three, however, had grabbed the most expensive items as if they were robbing the place, which was truly astonishing.

"Of course, we have enough."

The friend system was quite comprehensive and allowed for transfers. Chu Changge and Fatty transferred funds to Gu Mian, allowing him to quickly gather over two thousand points.

Although Gu Mian knew he could attack NPCs, he had no intention of slapping the cashier away and pushing the cart out. So far, he had managed to maintain his good guy persona.

When Gu Mian successfully paid over two thousand Game Currency, the cashier was still a bit dazed.

It wasn't until the three of them left with their bags that she began to sigh, "So many talented people! It's only been a few days, and a player has already gathered this much money?"

Another cashier next to her whispered, "I heard someone recently cleared the hearse Dungeon and got a thousand in compensation..."

As Gu Mian and the others walked out of the supermarket, they immediately spotted over a dozen figures practically glued to them.

To prevent players from stealing items, you couldn't put things into your inventory inside the supermarket. Therefore, outsiders could see exactly how much each person was carrying.

The leader looked up at Gu Mian and the others, a smile spreading across his face, "Looking pretty loaded, aren't you?"
