She calculated that even after the discount and using two coupons, she would still need 1670.
Having coupons or discounts makes it relatively more cost-effective.
The supermarket sells bullets for 300 points for 10 bullets, which isn't cheap for a consumable item.
Su Cheng plans to return from the Central Circle tomorrow before deciding whether to buy it at the supermarket.
Poison needles come in various types, using anesthetics and toxins extracted from animals; they are expensive, with a single needle comparable to a bullet.
If you miss with that shot, it's a huge loss.
Su Cheng remembered that she still had some hallucinogenic drugs left over from before, but there weren't many left. After thinking for a moment, she started looking for needles that she could inject herself, which were much cheaper.
Su Cheng simply bought 30 vials, spending 360 points. She was sure there would be some left over after storing the remaining hallucinogenic drugs.
If you encounter a pharmacist like Lu Heng again, you can trade for more lethal drugs, depending on the situation.
Su Cheng bought these for now. Although she had five-figure points, she was still thinking of saving them up to buy a pass. There was no need to buy items with redundant functions.
Points balance after payment: 19785
Although it was still a five-figure sum, Su Cheng still felt the pinch. Supermarket prices were high, but she was buying things that couldn't be bought in the copy.
She had already concluded that if you can get something from a copy, you shouldn't buy it at the supermarket.
The Smart Bag was disassembled first to expand its capacity. Originally, it only had 18 slots, but after merging, it has 33 slots, which is sufficient for now.
After finishing her shopping, Su Cheng returned to her apartment.
After finishing her two supplements, she washed up and lay down on her soft bed, closing her eyes to do her pre-sleep review and plan for the next stage.
Food and daily necessities are currently in ample supply, but supplies can still be collected if needed.
It's especially good to keep a few of all sorts of tools; you never know when they might come in handy.
Physical and supernatural weapons, offensive and defensive weapons are all in place, but consumable weapons still need to be replenished.
In conclusion: Dungeons are a piece of cake; competitive matches are the key to accumulating funds.

Chapter 82
Su Cheng opened her eyes at six o'clock the next day. She had slept very well and comfortably. After waking up, she didn't have to get up immediately. She lazily stretched and stayed in bed for a while longer.
After lying down for a while, she got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and then practiced her movements in the room. When she returned to the real world, she was sure she would be able to perfectly blend in with her grandparents who got up early to do their exercises.
After practicing, sit down at your desk to watch TV, take notes, and learn new knowledge that you might need.
Around 10 o'clock, I started organizing the supplies for the transaction later.
She had arranged to meet Yan Yu at 10:30, but she left half an hour early because she needed to walk from the basement of the apartment building to the outside.
Leaving half an hour early and walking will save you rental points.
After she slowly walked to the outside of the apartment, she waited another ten minutes before Yan Yu arrived in his white sedan.
Su Cheng got into the passenger seat. "Exactly 10:30, very punctual."
Yan Yu smiled. "Of course."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yan Yu pointed to two large sacks in the back seat, "These are the medical supplies you and Xu Shaowei asked for a long time ago."
She winked at Su Cheng, "But yours is free, while I'll have to rip off Xu Shaowei."
Su Cheng smiled and agreed.
Yan Yu continued, "Do you need any supplies lately? The talismans and compass you gave me will be very helpful later."
Su Cheng didn't refuse her kindness and honestly replied, "I need ammunition recently, preferably small bullets."
"Sure. I happen to have some bullets in stock. I don't use guns much, so I'll give you all the bullets." Yan Yu paused, "But do you know how to use a gun?"
"No, I just have a tool that can load bullets. Do you know how?"
"No, before I came here I was just an ordinary working person, with no money and no interest in experiencing or learning."
Yan Yu sighed after speaking, "Last time I tried to research it and fired it in a dungeon. The recoil almost made me jump off my feet, so I haven't used it much since."
The two chatted idly, recounting what had happened to them after their respective experiences in the hospital instance.
Su Cheng focused on sharing her thoughts on the power of rules.
Yan Yu, the slaughterhouse where she worked was not greatly affected, and her Mental Barrier was able to withstand the restrictions.
When the two arrived at An Tavern, Xu Shaowei was already waiting for them, in the same private room, and had ordered drinks.
The three of them immediately began sharing their encounters with people and events in the dungeon.
Xu Shaowei changed into a purple cheongsam this time, looking dignified and elegant, which contrasted sharply with her lively and exaggerated expressions.
The competitions she participated in all involved opponents who had survived for more than 60 days.
The arena instance is where all participants are in the same sea area.
"You wouldn't believe it, when I was surrounded by monsters, I thought I was done for. If my phone could be used in the dungeon, you would definitely have received my last words."
Xu Shaowei took a big gulp of juice and then said:
"But what I'm about to say is the important part: the first place winner in this competition is a woman named Shen Ying."
Xu Shaowei's expression turned serious as she mentioned the name, with a hint of gritted teeth. "And what's even more coincidental is that out of so many contestants, I encountered her. Even more coincidentally, she's the one who caused me to be surrounded by monsters!!"
"The reason Shen Ying harmed me was that she wanted to recruit me as her little sister, but I refused. Since she couldn't have me, she wanted to destroy me!"
You must be wondering why she tries to recruit others as subordinates.
Su Cheng followed up with her question, "Why?"
"Because she's the leader of the Toward the Moon Society!"
"!"
Su Cheng and Yan Yu both showed a hint of surprise.
Xu Shaowei nodded in satisfaction. "I had the same expression when I first heard about it."
"She's very powerful. Those she sets her sights on either join the Toward the Moon Society or she takes direct action."
Yan Yu frowned, about to speak, when Xu Shaowei covered her mouth, "I know what you want to say, why didn't I agree half-heartedly?"
"You think Shen Ying will just give a verbal agreement? She's not stupid! She used a lie detector to check my household registration in the real world, and now she's making me eat bugs."
"I couldn't beat her and her henchmen. I fell into the sea and almost died at the hands of a monster. Luckily, I had some survival tools, otherwise I really wouldn't be seeing you all again!"
Xu Shaowei sobbed pitifully twice, and after receiving comforting pats from the two, she wiped away non-existent tears and continued:
"But to be honest, that woman is ruthless, but she is indeed quite capable. She is extremely skilled with firearms and has excellent fighting skills."
One of her abilities is similar to a life detector, allowing her to Perception surrounding life, including supernatural beings. It's virtually impossible to ambush her.
Xu Shaowei sighed deeply, "It's a pity that's all I noticed, otherwise I could have told you more. In short, you must be wary of her if you encounter her!"
Su Cheng and Yan Yu both nodded emphatically.
Xu Shaowei took out another A4 sheet of paper from her bag, and with a sly and smug look, raised her chin slightly. "What a coincidence, I happen to be an art student, so I drew a portrait of her as soon as I got back."
Su Cheng and Yan Yu leaned closer to take a look.
The woman on the paper had half her face covered by a pure black mask, revealing only the other half. Her eyebrows were sharp, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her gaze was calm yet concealed a ruthless edge.
Below the painting is written: Shen Ying, leader of the Toward the Moon Society.
Xu Shaowei has solid painting skills and her paintings are extremely realistic.
"She's wearing a mask probably to prevent her true face from being revealed. I've already circulated the drawing to warn everyone to be careful of people wearing only half a mask."
" Toward the Moon Society's infamous reputation, if she wants to deceive people in the future, she'll probably have to reveal her true face or completely conceal it." Xu Shaowei's eyes flickered slightly; this was the revenge from the art student.
Su Cheng stared at the painting for a few seconds, then raised her hand to cover the upper and lower halves of the face of the person in the painting, leaving only their eyes visible.
She had an excellent memory and immediately recognized Shen Ying as the woman who had slaughtered a village while wearing protective gear in the Plague instance.
Fortunately, she noticed something was amiss and told Mu Ling to stay away, otherwise she might have been discovered.
I never imagined that the person I had only met briefly would be the leader of the Toward the Moon Society.
It turns out that not all members of the Toward the Moon Society joined voluntarily; those who joined were required to consume insect eggs, which is likely a method used by Shen Ying to control her subordinates.
But she didn't understand why Shen Ying still needed to collect information about his subordinates in the real world.
Yan Yu: "What's wrong? Have you seen her?"
Su Cheng snapped out of her daze, successfully removing the cover from the portrait. "Yes, she was massacring the village at the time and didn't notice me."
"Massacre a village? Something she's capable of doing." Xu Shaowei sneered.
Let me tell you about my top rankings this time.
"Good."
"The second place went to a man named Lu Heng, and the third place to Song Song... I came in 13th. The competition was fierce, you know how it is."
" Lu Heng?"
Yan Yu and Xu Shaowei both looked at Su Cheng, "You've met her before?"
Su Cheng nodded. "If it's the 'Lu' in 'land,' then it's probably the same person; his profession is a pharmaceutical manufacturer."
Xu Shaowei: "It's definitely the same person. I bought his medicine in the dungeon, and it cost me a lot of resources."
Su Cheng remembered that Lu Heng's profession seemed to be gaining experience by saving people, so he not only gained experience by treating Xu Shaowei, but also took the opportunity to make some money off supplies... How ruthless.
The three chatted for almost an hour before leaving the tavern to go eat.
As I passed Yan Yu at the door, I remembered to take the supplies from the back seat.
The package includes 50 boxes of medical masks, 50 bottles of 75% alcohol (500ml each), 50 bottles of 84 disinfectant, 50 sets of protective clothing, 100 syringes (5ml each), 10 boxes of antipyretics, 10 boxes of antibiotics, and 20 packs of iodine-soaked gauze.
The quantity was greater than Su Cheng had imagined; Yan Yu must have made a fortune in some dungeon.
The location was the same buffet restaurant as last time. Amidst the compliments, Su Cheng paid the bill and received a lunch with extremely high emotional value.
After finishing her meal, Su Cheng heard the clock chime "ding-dong".
The three of them looked up at the source of the sound, which was the chime of the round clock atop the towering auction building.
