4. Chapter 4
Carefully stretched out his index finger and poked Xiao Song's little hand, Xiao Song's cooperative little hand opened and grabbed Lu Li's index finger, it was actually physical! And the temperature!
Tsk, this technology is terrifying. Somehow, Lu Li suddenly rose up his confidence in the future, no matter how difficult the advanced trial of civilization is, no matter how terrifying the zombies are, isn't there still a sixty percent chance of success? It is a matter of life and death for the entire civilization, how can you give up easily if you haven't tried hard!
Lu Li, who was moved by himself and aroused infinite fighting spirit, then fell into a difficult choice of goods, and the list of one-star goods collected by the supermarket tycoon Shujù Library was not the goods that could be found by a one-star civilization, but included almost all the goods produced by a one-star civilization!
In the vast sea of goods, Lu Li conducted a large number of searches according to the three keywords of "food", "edible water" and "weapons", constantly added qualifications, screened out the goods that may meet her requirements, carefully compared the system's explanations and introductions to different goods, and discussed with Komatsu for advice, and finally determined the use of three free unlock cards, namely [Nutrition Biscuits], [Water Droplets] and [Light Energy Gun].
Lu Li was very satisfied with the three goods she selected, after all, her initial psychological expectations were just "bread", "mineral water" and "big knife", but when she really started searching, she found that she was limited by her inherent thinking, in the vast universe, there are too many goods that meet her requirements, and the final choice is that she determined the most suitable target after comparing cost, practicality, portability and other factors.
[Nutritional biscuit] is a kind of palm-sized biscuit with a faint milky fragrance, just one piece can top a meal, and most importantly, it can supplement various nutrients required by the human body, and it is actually a compressed food made into a biscuit style.
The reason why this kind of goods is chosen is not only because of its low cost and portability, but more importantly, the water droplets will not melt all at once after entering the human body, giving people an unusually full feeling, but will slowly dissolve and release the water needed by the human body, this food comes from a desert civilization.
The final [Light Energy Gun] is powerful, according to Komatsu's calculations, if it is used on the earth, an hour of sunlight energy can condense a light energy bullet, and up to eight light energy bullets can be stored, if you aim at the head or neck of a zombie, a light energy bullet can kill a zombie.
To be honest, Lu Li hesitated for a long time whether to unlock this weapon. First, it costs a lot, even if it is a relatively low price among weapons of the same power, it costs 50 gold for a piece, so the price will definitely be higher, and no one may be able to afford it at the beginning.
Second, its power is too great, even if Lu Li originally hoped that the person holding it would have the power to protect himself against zombies, but once it was mastered by someone with bad intentions, it would pose a greater threat to others.
But in the end, Lu Li still decided to unlock this weapon, for the simple reason that she needed it too! The biggest advantage of this light gun is that you don't have to worry about the supply of follow-up bullets, and the recoil is extremely small, and it also comes with infrared positioning, so that even ordinary people with no experience with guns can easily get started.
The three white one-star cargo unlock cards turned into dotted pieces after Lu Li selected the unlock target, and they were submerged into the product introduction box selected by Lu Li, so the original dark gray introduction column was lit up in color, indicating that these three items have been unlocked, and as long as you pay a certain cost to purchase, you can put them on the shelves in the supermarket.
[Okay, dear Xiaoli, after the goods are unlocked, you have to consider the selling price. In general, the selling price of supermarket goods is at least three times the cost, and there is no upper limit.
There's a reason for this pricing mechanism, if you set your selling price at three times the purchase price, then after each item is sold, one-third of the proceeds will be used to cover the cost of the item, one-third will be used to pay for operating expenses, and the remaining one-third will be your net profit to support your continued growth.
After the official opening of the one-star 1-level supermarket, it is necessary to pay 100 gold operating fees every day to maintain the normal operation of the supermarket, as large as the protection function and concealment function of the supermarket, as small as the automatic shelving of goods, pre-sale protection of goods and automatic settlement after the purchase of goods, etc., all need to pay the cost to operate, so Xiaoli, must reserve the corresponding operating expenses in advance, otherwise it is easy to go bankrupt because you can't pay the operating expenses.
The last thing to note is that the currency charged by the supermarket is quite special, in addition to the more valuable metals, the most important thing is the crystals condensed in the zombies' minds, which can be converted into currency through the guò energy currency conversion machine. 】
There are too many slots, and Lu Li doesn't know how to vomit......
Originally, she thought that the system gave her a lot of starting funds of 10,000 gold, but now that she looks at it, it turns out that it is only enough to support the supermarket for 100 days, and it is without buying any goods! But is it possible? What supermarket does she open without buying goods?
Lu Li can imagine that when she starts buying goods, the money will flow away like flowing water, and once no one comes to patronize her supermarket in a short period of time, she may soon face the embarrassment of bankruptcy and closure.
"Hehe, no wonder you say that I don't have the capital to go bankrupt, it's just sadistic." Lu Li wiped his face with both hands, and asked with a flash of inspiration, "Anyway, if I kill the zombies myself, can the crystals I get be converted into currency and used to support the operation of the supermarket?" ”
[Of course you can, but that can only be used as an emergency measure, supermarket management is the focus, dear Xiaoli, don't give up your roots. 】
Xiao Song admonished with a stern face, but she really didn't have to worry about this, as a dead house Lu Li, if she could not go out, she would definitely not go to find trouble, Lu Li asked this just to make sure that she still had a way out, if the supermarket really couldn't operate, at least she still had a way not to go bankrupt.
"So the question is, how much gold can the crystals in a zombie's mind be converted into?" This is a major matter related to the operation of the entire supermarket, and it must be asked.
[Zombies are also divided into grades, if most of the zombies on the earth are set as level 1, the crystals of a level 1 zombie can be exchanged for 10 gold, and according to the purity of the crystals, there may be slight fluctuations up and down. 】
An image of a zombie appeared on the screen, and the basic numbers such as the strength and speed of this zombie were also displayed on the side.
Lu Li looked at the number jù and felt a little relieved, after all, judging from the comparison of the number jù alone, the level 1 zombies are a cut behind ordinary humans in terms of hearing, vision, speed, and strength, not to mention that zombies have no intelligence, if humans bravely pick up weapons, they can still kill scattered zombies.
Lu Li had a general understanding of the strength of the zombies, and comprehensively considered the cost of 1 gold and 3 nutritional biscuits, 1 gold and 3 water beads and 50 gold for the light energy gun, and finally set the selling price at three times the purchase price according to the lowest pricing mechanism, that is, 1 gold 1 nutrition biscuit or 1 water droplet, and 150 gold for the light energy gun.
With 3 nutritious biscuits as a group of commodities and 3 water droplets as a group of commodities, Lu Li initially purchased 100 sets of nutritious biscuits and 100 groups of water beads, as well as 6 light energy guns, one of which was prepared for herself. As the owner of the supermarket, there is a benefit that she can use for herself only by paying the cost price of the unlocked goods.
Lu Li remembered the good days when he used to take snacks directly from the counter next to him when he was reading novels, and he felt that this was actually not a benefit, but completely deserved.
The first batch of goods ordered was pitiful, no wonder Lu Li was cautious, even if she knew that the things she chose were very good, but to be honest, at the beginning of the last days when every household had food in stock, food was not very urgently needed, and the most urgently needed weapons were sold at a slightly higher price......
With a long sigh, Lu Li really felt that it was not so difficult to run his own small supermarket before, because it was a franchise store before, and the goods would be directly distributed by the head office, and the type of goods was determined by the head office according to the sales statistics, Lin Lan only needed to be optimistic about his own small store, where to consider so many complicated situations.
Not long after Lu Li's order was placed, the goods she selected appeared in the supermarket warehouse. Lu Li, the earth bun, was amazed at this, she couldn't figure out how those things appeared on the earth out of thin air.
[This is another major force in the universe, the power of the space-time trading network, in the universe, more than 70% of the trade is done through the space-time trading network, it can be said that the space-time trading network controls the economic lifeline of various civilizations, which is why I said that once it is recorded by the space-time trading network to the blacklist, it will face a situation where it is difficult to move an inch.
At the beginning of the design of the supermarket tycoon system, in order to make it more convenient for users to buy the goods needed by the supermarket, a special trade channel was built with the space-time trading network, and it is precisely because of the storage of this special channel that even if Xiao Li, the earth where you are is now in an advanced trial, we can also order goods, otherwise YH796 trapped in the special state of the earth will be embarrassed. 】
When Xiao Song explained to Lu Li, he patted his little chest in fear, he couldn't be more humane.
Think about it, if there are no alternative products in the number jù library of a supermarket management system, then the whole system is equivalent to scrapping. If it weren't for the special trade channels left by the supermarket tycoon when designing them, Lu Li's current situation might be that she could see a massive list of product introductions, but she couldn't unlock all of them except for the goods that were already on the earth.
Lu Li nodded sympathetically, if you can only unlock the earth's goods, then there will be a big question mark over whether there are still manufacturers producing on the earth that has entered the end of the world.
