Chapter 211: Playing Badly in the Doomsday World 12
The guests who were originally planning to leave because they couldn't afford to offend the Phoenix Base stopped in their tracks because of Zhu Yin's appearance.
The people at the Phoenix Base kept smiling and said, "You misunderstood. We have no other intentions. We just want to have a quiet environment to communicate with the store."
Zhu Yin: "Let me ask again, who gave you the courage or reliance to make you think you can act so arrogantly in Barbara's shop?"
She said calmly, "Is this the leader you mentioned? Or the entire Phoenix Base?"
That's not very polite.
The visitor stopped smiling and said seriously, "What do you mean, sir? Do you want to be an enemy of our Phoenix Base?"
What responded to him were countless foggy tentacles extending from the ground.
They knew about this move from the intelligence they received and were on guard at all times, and immediately asked teammates with space-related abilities to relocate their positions.
However, when we really face it, we realize that there are some forces that you are not qualified to face just because you have taken precautions.
Everyone in the Phoenix Base didn't even have time to resist before they were dragged into a crack that was like a huge mouth of an abyss.
After Zhu Yin dealt with these people, she did not leave immediately. She said calmly: "Everyone, no matter where you come from or what your background is. Once you enter Barbara's shop, please abide by the store rules."
The guests thought that the security lady was warning them and did not take it seriously. The braver ones even responded, saying that they had always been sensible.
It was not until they left the store and returned to the survivors' gathering place or base where they lived that they ran into other people who were talking about it.
They were shocked to find that their compatriots who were not in the store, or staying in the gathering place, or cleaning up the zombies outside, all heard the security lady's warning.
Dongquan Base.
The top brass of the base are holding an emergency meeting.
A gray-haired lady said solemnly, "According to feedback, all the more than three million survivors of the Dongquan base heard that warning."
At this time, a liaison officer hurried in and said something in her ear.
She looked more serious: "The latest news is that the Phoenix Base and the Burning Cherry Base also heard that warning."
it's not finished yet.
Gold Base, Volcano Base...
News came from one place after another.
Finally, they came to the conclusion: the security guard of that mysterious shop’s understated warning actually reached the ears of all survivors around the world at the same time!
"What kind of strength is this..." Dr. Tang from the research institute who was wearing glasses murmured, "Is this a spiritual skill?"
"What kind of psychic ability can cover such a wide range?" The gray-clothed old man at the head of the group looked grim. "With such strength, if she wanted to take someone's life quietly, who could escape?"
Everyone was silent.
The lady in front smiled bitterly: "Not only now, from the very beginning, we and that mysterious shop are not on the same level, right?"
A shop that can travel through time and space and has experienced countless civilizations.
At the beginning, she suggested that the base actively contact them to see if they could make friends with them.
However, it was opposed with the simple reason being "those who are not of our race must have different hearts". Some people even had the wildest idea of controlling them and using them for their base.
Judging from the results of the last communication, it is obvious that the owner does not have a good impression of the Dongquan Base.
Dr. Tang also nodded: "From the current security guard in the store..., judging from the abilities she has demonstrated, I don't know how human psychics can deal with her."
Or the gray-robed old man at the head: "What if we use hot weapons to raze the entire store to the ground?"
"I advise you not to do this, sir." Dr. Tang adjusted his glasses. "If our guess is true, a store that can travel through time and space and travel in the universe. I don't think our thermal weapons can cause fatal damage to it."
“On the contrary, we cannot necessarily afford to anger it.”
The old man in gray looked very unhappy.
"Why should we deal with it?" Dr. Tang was puzzled. "From the current perspective, Barbara's shop is on the side of humans, isn't it?"
Among all the things sold in the store, one item, "Body Strengthening Technique", can raise the overall combat capability of human beings to a higher level.
Dr. Tang thought that instead of holding a meeting here to discuss how to deal with the store owner, it would be better to collect more crystal cores, organize the base personnel, take turns queuing, and buy more useful goods.
If you could draw a cultivation technique suitable for ordinary humans to learn, or a technology from the future that can be used for research, the future of mankind would be a little brighter.
Unfortunately, he is just a researcher without a say. The reason he can sit here is that the top management hopes that he can give some useful suggestions on how to deal with the store.
.
Zhu Yin was very satisfied with the deterrent effect this time.
The Phoenix Base, which was so arrogant before, lost dozens of people for unknown reasons and dared not say a word.
Not to mention the other things those dozens of people brought with them, they brought tens of thousands of crystal cores, all of which were confiscated by Zhu Yin.
As for the people, their memories were taken away, they were thrown into a small space to keep Lao Xiao company, and went to work.
She discussed with Barbara the "upgrade" of the store.
I thought of several solutions following the examples in novels, but they were all too troublesome.
Finally, Zhu Yin clapped her hands and said, "I have a plan."
After all, she didn't really come here to open a store. Her core mission was to assist the protagonist in eliminating zombies and ushering in a new world.
Barbara occasionally took time to visit Chu Yan. He had a very high talent for fire magic and learned it very well from the magic notes.
Think about the destructive power of fire magic when it is practiced to the later stage. Very good, the mission is promising.
So, the next day, all the customers who got up early to line up suddenly found that the store had changed.
The appearance is still the same as before, but the entire store area has expanded a lot, at least ten times as large as before.
Moreover, there is an extra second floor!
More and more people were attracted by this change, and finally at eight o'clock in the morning, the store opened for business, and a large group of people poured in.
After entering the store, they found that the store's furnishings had not changed.
However, there are a lot more vending machines and the rest area is much larger.
Now everyone is familiar with Barbara and knows that the rest area is really prepared for guests. Some people even try to leave their children here when they go out on missions.
It’s really useful!
Even the cubs can drink clean water prepared by the cat store manager when they stay here.
If the shops did not allow it, everyone would like to rest in the shops at night - clean, spacious and comfortable, and absolutely safe, with conditions much better than in gathering areas.
The only change on the first floor is that there is an extra staircase in the middle leading to the upper floors.
A customer asked curiously, "Barbara, what is the second floor used for? Is it also for selling things?"
"Yes." Barbara nodded. "The second floor sells different things, but there is an entry threshold. You can go up the stairs on your own, and if you can pass the stairs, you can see the goods inside."
Is there a threshold for going upstairs?
"What threshold? Is it to detect the number of crystal cores in your pocket?" A young man said jokingly, and couldn't wait to go up, "Let me try!"
He has his own little thoughts.
Xu Jiayuan, who is now very famous in the survivor gathering place, was the first human to enter the store.
According to her, the store owner gave her a glass of magical water for free, and all her injuries were healed after drinking it.
As for the rest, she didn't tell anyone that the glass of water seemed to have enhanced her strength.
However, the survivors who had lived with her in the same settlement for a long time could see some clues.
Also, the first person who paid to consult about his doubts is also the only person who has met the security lady alone so far.
Everyone was curious about what he had learned.
Unfortunately, he himself is a very powerful psychic, and his team is also a well-known psychic team. Even the base is unwilling to offend him easily.
In short, the young man guessed that being the “first” in this store would receive certain preferential treatment.
Never mind, let’s try it first!
If there really is any preferential treatment, you will make a lot of money, and if there is no preferential treatment, you will not lose anything.
As he spoke, he had already reached the stairs.
Without hesitation, he stepped onto the stairs, but a force stopped him.
No matter what I did, my raised right foot couldn't step onto the step.
The young man was stunned and suddenly remembered the "threshold" mentioned by the cat shop owner.
He turned his head, looking puzzled: "Shopkeeper, I can't get in. Does that mean I'm not qualified?"
Barbara: “It’s a pity, but it’s true.”
The young man did not insist, but stepped back readily and asked curiously: "So, owner, what is this threshold to entry?"
The others pricked up their ears, too.
The cat shop owner squatted very dignifiedly: "Shh, keep it a secret. When someone can go in, you will know."
This look makes people more itchy.
Not to mention those who were already eager to try it, even some people who had not originally planned to go to the second floor were curious and ready to give it a try.
After trying it, everyone found that the "threshold" to go to the second floor was really harsh.
There are now more than a hundred people in the store, and almost all of them went up to try it, but not a single one could put their foot on successfully.
There was a little girl who came shopping with her parents. She happened to be the one who praised Barbara for her beauty last time. She didn't know anything yet, but when she saw the adults were there, she followed to join in the fun.
Hey.
Everyone fell silent.
Watch her step on the ground effortlessly.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. The child was obviously a little scared and subconsciously wanted to go back to find his mother.
"Don't move, kid!" The young man who had tried first had been squatting here. Seeing this, he quickly said, "Uncle will give you a crystal core. You also go up with your other foot and climb to the top of the stairs, okay?"
