Chen Xueying and Chen Lin returned at this moment.
"Brother Yuxuan... look, Xuejie and I found a lot of pretty stones again!" Chen Lin happily ran to the counter as soon as she entered the shop, spreading her hands and presenting them to Chen Yuxuan, smiling.
"Look at you two, all sweaty. Come, sit down and rest." Chen Yuxuan saw five Star Cores in Chen Lin's hands and stood up to take them! Then he called them over to sit down.
Wang Xiaofei, who was on the side, was also very perceptive. He bought two bottles of soda and two bottles of quick-acting nutritional drinks from the beverage machine!
"Brother Yu... Today, your little brother made a small fortune. I'm treating you to these drinks. Please don't refuse! This shop gave me the hope to survive. Consider it as my gratitude to you." Wang Xiaofei took a soda for himself! He gave one to Chen Yuxuan, and placed the other two quick-acting nutritional drinks in front of Chen Xueying and Chen Lin, smiling.
"Alright... I accept these drinks! You're a good guy. Come to the shop and hang out more when you have time." Chen Yuxuan patted Wang Xiaofei on the shoulder and smiled.
Chen Xueying and Chen Lin only opened the quick-acting nutritional drinks and started drinking after seeing Chen Yuxuan accept them! They were also thirsty after crouching amongst zombies all afternoon.
Wang Xiaofei nodded happily and replied. After chatting with Chen Yuxuan for a while, he went back.
...
After Wang Xiaofei left The Shop…
Chen Yuxuan couldn't wait to open the business system and check the shop information! That's right… just after Wang Xiaofei had spent his gold coins, the system notification for the shop upgrade had sounded. It just wasn't convenient to check it at the time!
...
[Shop Name: The Shop] [Shop Level: 2] (5/300) [Shop Skill: Absolute Domain Lv2] [Shop Functions: Lottery Lv1, Shop Lv1]
...
Absolute Domain upgraded to Level 2, expanding the safe zone to a five-meter radius! At the same time, Chen Yuxuan's commission from The Shop's revenue also increased to 20%...
Chen Yuxuan still couldn't figure out the function of the safe zone. Was it just to keep zombies out? If that was all it did, then why bother expanding it?
Chen Yuxuan didn't bother thinking about it, not wanting to make things difficult for himself! He quickly turned his attention to the Star Core crystals in his hand, five in total. One of them was red, and he figured it was a Fire-attribute Star Core...
"Here, take this..." Chen Yuxuan handed the Fire-attribute Star Core to Chen Xueying without a second thought.
Chen Xueying took it and swallowed it directly, closing her eyes just like before!
A moment later...
Chen Xueying opened her eyes, which had turned red. Then, she extended a hand! "Puff, puff..." Suddenly, a ball of flames erupted from her hand, burning continuously. Chen Yuxuan immediately felt the temperature in the shop rise by over ten degrees...
"Girl... that's enough! Stop it!" Chen Yuxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly.
Chen Xueying stopped when she heard Chen Yuxuan's shout, and the temperature in the shop immediately dropped.
It was obvious that this flame was a type of offensive ability...
He looked at the time; it was already past six in the evening. Chen Yuxuan remembered he had won a [Deluxe Seafood Hot Pot Set] in the previous lottery...
Then, after arranging for the [Cleaning Robot] and the [Reception Robot] to watch over the shop, Chen Yuxuan brought Chen Xueying and Chen Lin back to the living room! He told them they would have hot pot tonight, and both of them were overjoyed...
Not just them! Even Chen Yuxuan was excited. It was rare to have a hot pot meal in this post-apocalyptic world!
