Chapter 164: 164. Supermarket

They all laughed in the chat.

In the end, Lucy moved to the private chat with Anna.

...

Lucy: Anna, my cousin will come to my apartment during dinner. Do you want to have dinner together while discussing that medicine?

Anna: Ok. Do you want to invite Dylan too?

Lucy: Sure. [grin.jpg]

...

After moving away from the chat, Anna went to the kitchen and looked at her supplies. To be honest, she was not exactly lacking in terms of food, but she wanted to know whether there were vegetables and others in the supermarket.

At the very least, if there were any vegetables, she could also take out her own vegetables on the bright side.

Looking the clock, there were still more than an hour before dinner time.

Anna walked out of her apartment and looked at the map that Mark shared in their chat group. It was the map of the base but didn’t mention many specific things. It only indicated some important buildings such as the supermarket, parking lot, gate, supermarkets and so on.

The supermarket was not that far. Walking for 15 or so minutes and Anna had already reached the place.

There were not many people lining up and looking at the screen not far from the door, it stated the rules and also the current number of people who were inside the mall.

Right now, there were only 4 people.

The maximum is five people, so Anna can directly enter the mall.

Anna took out her base’s card and swipe it on the scanner.

The door opened and Anna walked inside.

The layout was not much different from ordinary malls. However, Anna could see that rather than food, most of the items here were household items. There were still foods but looking at the price, Anna was speechless.

Potatoes, 10 contribution points/kg

Grains, 8 contribution points/kg

Instant noodles, 5 contribution points/bag

Apples, 8 contribution points/kg

And so on.

Looking at the expensive price, Anna was not surprised that not many people wanted to come here to buy these foods.

The mission halls also gave them contribution points equal to the price of these foods if they were to give them to the base.

Anna looked around for a while and finally looked the fruits and vegetables.

The condition of the vegetables was far from fresh while the condition of the fruit was relatively bad. It was not plump and juicy like before.

It seemed that only the rich people would be able to buy these foods.

"Excuse me, are these vegetables and fruits planted in the base?" Anna asked.

The staff looked at Anna and nodded. "Yes, these fruits and vegetables are raised in the base. However, the amount of the foods is not much, so their price is relatively more expensive."

"Is there cheaper food?" Anna asked.

"There’s a canteen in the base where you can eat for 1 contribution points and everyone is limited to buy 2 times every day. However, it’s only 1 bowl of porridge with a bit of meat and vegetables mixed in," the staff replied.

1 bowl of porridge?

Even if the staff said that there was meat and vegetables mixed in, Anna could guess that the amount was not much. It was only enough to make them feel full but the nutrition was not enough to keep up.

Not to mention, they could only buy the food 2 times each day, which was not much.

But looking at the price of the meat that was 50 contribution points/kg, Anna’s lips twitched. 100 grams was 5 contribution points, which was definitely very expensive.

If they were to buy in the mall, they might be able to save some money.

But that didn’t include the electricity, water, effort, and so on that they needed to consider. All in all, it was almost the same as the canteen.

But in the canteen, they didn’t need to spend so much.

"There’s only porridge in the canteen?" Anna asked.

The staff looked at Anna and then replied, "There are several other dishes that are more expensive in the canteen such as noodles for 4 contribution points and vegetable buns for 5 contribution points. But they are only available for a limited number per day and it’s all based on first come first serve."

Anna blinked her eyes.

If she was not wrong, money can still be used to exchange for contribution points. So she could guess who would buy these foods.

Even if the people were starving, there would always be some people who had much more money than others.

Anna sighed deeply and after looking at the items in front of her, she finally chose to buy half a kilogram of meat.

The staff’s eyes lit up when she saw Anna went to buy.

They could get a small portion of contribution points in accordance to the people who buy in the supermarket. Even if it would not reach 1 contribution even if they bought a lot, but after accumulation, it would still be a lot in the end.

Anna paid for the meat and then remembered something. "Is there any seeds in the supermarket?"

The staff shook her head. "There’s no seed for the time being. The seeds are all used by the researchers and the above to produce food for the people in the base."

After all, there would be more and more people who come here.

They had already stocked resources from granary and others before but these foods would definitely run out after some time. So they were also busy cultivating the seeds to make more food.

Anna nodded in understanding.

"How about soil?"

"For soil, if you really want it, you can take it from outside the base." The staff thought for a moment. "But the soils around these area is not very good for plantings, so you might need to search somewhere else."

"Alright, then. Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

After she was done, Anna walked out of the supermarket and headed back home.
