The Mall had updated. Did that mean his money could buy more things in the Mall now?

In this apocalypse, survival supplies were just as important as strength.

He had reached level 6, awakened a new skill, and gotten a Mall update. Luo Fan immediately lost all desire to sleep.

First, Luo Fan focused his attention on the Mall page. Sure enough, the number of products had increased.

For example, the food section had three new products.

The first was apples, at 10 yuan per jin.

Then there was chocolate, at 50 yuan per jin.

Last was table salt, at 2 yuan a bag.

All three products were very important to Luo Fan.

Apples went without saying. Like fresh vegetables, fresh fruit was even rarer than meat in the apocalypse, wasn't it?

Table salt needed even less explanation. Humans needed salt, but who could guarantee they would find it every time they scavenged for supplies?

Besides, 2 yuan a bag? He could have all the salt he wanted now.

As for chocolate, a whole 50 yuan per jin?

All right, that price was rather expensive. If he had plenty of money later, he could buy a jin to keep on hand.

Then he opened the drinks section for a look.

Sure enough, several products had been added there too.

First was canned beer, with a volume of 500 ml, priced at 5 yuan.

There was also coffee at 20 yuan a cup.

Last was the very cheap soy milk, at 2 yuan a cup.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. From now on, I can drink soy milk in the morning, have beer with my meals, and occasionally get a cup of coffee to show off-uh, display my greatness before others? Luo Fan muttered inwardly.

He should forget about the coffee. At 20 yuan a cup, it really was a little expensive.

If it were 20 yuan for a box of instant coffee, he could brew a cup for fun when he had time. But now? Twenty yuan could buy twenty bottles of purified water. He hadn't gotten so carried away that he would buy a cup of coffee.

Next, Luo Fan curiously continued browsing the other products.

The daily necessities section had also added two products. One was shampoo at 50 yuan a bottle, which made Luo Fan shake his head.

Fifty? Why didn't they just rob him? A bar of soap only cost him 5 yuan. Couldn't he wash his hair with that?

It was the apocalypse. He should count himself lucky to have a bar of soap to wash his hair with.

In short, with his current daily check-in reward of 60 yuan, practicality still had to come first when buying supplies.

There was also another product: umbrellas, at 30 yuan, sold by the box.

Ahem. Well, let's leave that for another day...

After his gaze swept past the umbrellas, Luo Fan looked at the other sections.

The clothing and bedding section had a new product, a silk quilt, but its price was truly steep: a full 500 yuan each.

Winter hadn't arrived yet, so there was no rush to buy one. Besides, if he had a chance to scavenge for supplies later and found a silk quilt, wouldn't he save himself 500 yuan?

Save where he should, spend where he should.

"Wait, what's this?" Luo Fan continued browsing the Mall's products. Suddenly, he found a new product in the energy section.

92-octane gasoline, at 200 yuan per can, with a capacity of 30 liters.

Although this gasoline really wasn't cheap, being able to buy gasoline was absolutely crucial for escaping danger.

Just yesterday, Niu Dagang had said his vehicle was running low on gasoline and had discussed with Zhao Chunfeng where they could go to see if they could replenish it.

Without a fresh supply of gasoline, the vehicle would be completely out of commission.

Fortunately, the Luo Father and Sons had stored some gasoline in his Small Truck, so Luo Fan didn't need to worry too much about gasoline in the short term.

In addition, two new products had appeared in the medicine section: cold medicine at 15 yuan a box and anti-inflammatory medicine at 20 yuan a box.

As he continued looking, he found the familiar Mall notification again, indicating that an update was in progress.

After thoroughly examining his Mall, he concluded that this update had been quite substantial overall.

It had added apples, chocolate, table salt, beer, coffee, soy milk, shampoo, umbrellas, silk quilts, gasoline, cold medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine-a total of twelve products.

Originally, with 60 yuan from checking in each day, Luo Fan had thought he would be living quite comfortably from now on. But looking at these products, he felt that his 60 yuan in check-in funds was still a little too little.

Of these, gasoline in particular was what he needed most.

It would take three or four days before he could afford one can. It seemed he still needed to work hard to raise his Sequence level.

After all, raising their Sequence level simply made other people stronger, while for him, besides getting stronger, it also meant being able to buy more supplies. It was practically double the joy.

Besides, at Lv10, his daily check-in funds would still only be 100 yuan.

Luo Fan felt a little anticipation. If he entered the Professional Sequence, how much would his check-in funds rise to then?

Shaking his head, Luo Fan temporarily pushed aside these jumbled thoughts.

The Mall update was certainly a happy occasion, but the Spirit Void Step he had just awakened was also very important.

For the Assassination Sequence, high agility was essential.

Now that he had Spirit Void Step, his survivability and combat strength had finally improved by a large margin.

He glanced at An Xiaoran lying beside him. She was still sleeping deeply, which made Luo Fan smile.

This little girl had extremely severe autism and remained unperturbed even in the face of death. So, since she wasn't even afraid of dying, could she sleep soundly without a care?

Luo Fan gently pushed open the cab door. With the Luo Family Town Squad having merged into the Hope Squad, their numbers were already considerable. Everyone was taking this rare opportunity to rest and enjoy a moment of peace.

Luo Fan had no intention of disturbing anyone either, and activated Spirit Void Step.

Instantly, Luo Fan felt the earth's gravitational pull decrease significantly. It felt like being in water, where buoyancy made his body as light as a swallow.

Originally, footsteps had been quite distinct in the still night. But now, with Spirit Void Step active, Luo Fan's footsteps were almost inaudible.

With a leap, Luo Fan sprang four or five meters into the air, performed several flips in midair, and only then landed silently back on the ground.

"Hiss, at this height, I could easily jump from the first floor to the second, couldn't I?"

After getting a proper feel for his dramatically increased jumping ability, Luo Fan was overjoyed.

The height of his jumps was practically like the lightness skills in martial arts films.

With such outstanding jumping ability, he could leap around between clusters of buildings while scavenging for supplies in towns. This ability was extremely practical.

And scavenging for supplies inevitably meant entering places like towns.

If he continued to grow, wouldn't his Spirit Void Step let him cosplay as Spider-Man, leaping back and forth between buildings?

Shaking his head, Luo Fan pushed these jumbled thoughts aside.

He understood his jumping ability now. Next came speed. That was the key, wasn't it?

Taking a deep breath, Luo Fan activated Spirit Void Step and dashed off to test his current running speed...
