Demonic Spirit Braised Mad Cow Noodles

This oversight was no big deal, but when he did look, Mu Rufeng was truly startled.

The items inside were diverse, with multiple sections similar to how daily necessities, vegetables, fruits, snacks, and beverages are categorized in the real world.

It was just like a "Scarlet Preferred" store in the real world.

The only difference was that the goods here were a bit peculiar, catering to residents of the bizarre world.

Mu Rufeng first clicked on the beverage and dairy category. To his surprise, the very first item that caught his eye was the Scarlet Eyeball.

The second item was also a Scarlet Eyeball, the former being 1.5 liters and the latter 500ml.

Mu Rufeng scanned all the categorized items and still felt like he hadn't seen enough.

It was a shame that nine out of ten items couldn't be used by living people.

However, when Mu Rufeng looked at the price of the Scarlet Eyeball and compared it to the price in the vending machine, he could only say that Scarlet Preferred was truly cheap.

The prices in the vending machine were benchmarked against the normal prices in the bizarre world.

For example, a 1.5-liter Scarlet Eyeball sold for 5 yuan in the vending machine, but only 3 yuan in Scarlet Preferred, provided you bought it by the case.

Similarly, the 500ml Scarlet Eyeball was priced at 1.5 yuan per bottle, also requiring purchase by the case.

Items bought today would be delivered the next day.

And miraculously, they could be delivered directly to your hand, though this would incur an additional fee.

For free delivery, you had to set your location to a nearby pickup point and collect the goods yourself once they arrived.

It was extremely convenient.

Time ticked by, minute by minute.

With just ten minutes left until his shift started, a large truck slowly pulled up to the platform.

Mu Rufeng didn't forget Chang Feng's reminder to work more.

He immediately stepped forward, reached into the black mist, and touched the cargo inside.

"Good heavens, Braised Mad Cow Noodles," Mu Rufeng was speechless.

The truck that the Tentacle Oddity unloaded this morning only contained Fragrant Corpse Worm Noodles, but this shipment was Braised Mad Cow Noodles.

Mu Rufeng recalled that a case of these noodles sold for forty-five yuan on Scarlet Preferred, with twelve buckets per case, making each bucket 3.75 yuan.

In the vending machine, however, each bucket cost five yuan.

He had to admit, it was much cheaper.

Remembering what Sister Chunni had said, he knew he could also work during the lunch break.

Mu Rufeng grabbed a pallet jack and brought over a stack of pallets, immediately starting to unload.

He had to say, these instant noodles were incredibly light.

Mu Rufeng could carry ten cases at once with both hands.

And stacking them was easy; no special arrangement was needed, as long as they didn't exceed the height limit.

He was so sure because he had seen An Lu unloading the noodles that morning.

At this unloading speed, Mu Rufeng believed he could finish the job in twenty minutes.

This was not Mu Rufeng boasting.

When An Lu first started unloading the noodles, his numerous tentacles allowed him to unload even faster than Mu Rufeng.

The reason the entire unloading process took an hour and twenty minutes was due to interference from the truck driver.

Of course, this wasn't a direct physical confrontation, but rather the driver using his position to create environmental changes within the truck's cargo area, thus slowing down the unloading process.

Because Mu Rufeng had loaded the zombie template, he possessed multiple attributes that made him immune to unfavorable conditions, completely unaffected.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed.

The time was now 1 PM, and the workday had begun.

An Lu, who hadn't been seen all day, arrived punctually in front of the warehouse.

When he saw Mu Rufeng unloading instant noodles, he was utterly shocked.

It wasn't because Mu Rufeng was unloading quickly, but rather he regretted not coming earlier, which would have allowed him to snatch up this truckload of goods.

Alas, there are no "what ifs."

"Heh, let's see if you can make it through tonight," An Lu said, looking at Mu Rufeng with a cold sneer. He leaned against the wall, sat down, and waited for the next truck to arrive.

During the day, Scarlet Preferred was an extremely peaceful place, but once night fell...

Ten minutes passed.

Only the tailboard of that truckload of goods remained.

Just like the previous two trucks, the terrified driver handed Mu Rufeng a hundred-dollar bill and told him to rest and unload the goods an hour later.

Mu Rufeng put the money away, got out of the truck, and stood on the platform.

Coincidentally, An Lu was walking out of the truck carriage, pulling a cart of goods.

His gaze towards Mu Rufeng was extremely cold.

As Mu Rufeng was unloading, the second truck arrived.

This truck was filled with Blood Flower Beer. An Lu unloaded it with extreme caution, naturally making his speed very slow, but even two hours should be enough.

It could be said that the current situation was a stark contrast to the morning.

"I'll take a nap," Mu Rufeng thought. He still had to wait for at least an hour, and bored, he felt like sleeping again.

This time, he didn't go back into the carriage. Instead, he went to the receiving area and lay down on the table, falling fast asleep.

Of course, he didn't forget to set a few alarms.

However, before Mu Rufeng's alarms could wake him, he was called by someone.

The person calling him was An Lu.

"Mu Rufeng, could you do me a favor and help me unload this?" An Lu's tone of voice was extremely strange, as if he was forcing himself to speak.

"Huh?" Mu Rufeng had just woken up and was still a bit groggy, not quite processing what was happening.

"I'm unloading too slowly. Could you do me a favor and help me unload it?" An Lu said with difficulty.

"What? You're unloading too slowly? You want me to help you unload?" Mu Rufeng acted as if he had heard something incredible.

"Brother An Lu, you have five tentacles and a pair of hands. You're telling me your unloading speed is too slow?"

"Even with Blood Flower Beer, at your slowest, you should be able to finish unloading in two hours, right?" Mu Rufeng looked at An Lu suspiciously.

An Lu managed a very forced smile and said, "This truck driver is difficult to deal with. He's affecting me too much."
