Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse

"Those people are gone. Get ready to open the restaurant! What are all of you waiting for?" with Hei Mang's departure, Sister Wang returned to her usual self. But she was evidently disturbed by his words. That loose gap between her cleavage is now buttoned up to cover her modesty.

She was indeed a capable owner of the restaurant. Under her guidance on what to do, the mess caused by Hei Mang was covered in less than ten minutes. A new table is now set on the same spot with some decoration to replace the destroyed furniture.

"Why are you still standing here? Go get changed and start working!" Sister Wang shouted at Zhang Qin Feng for standing idly without doing anything while her team was getting busier. By the time she talks to him, the restaurant hostess already started to bring the customers in.

"I'm not one of your workers… Sister Wang…" Zhang Qin Feng embarrassedly scratched his head as he tells her the truth.

"What? Really?"

"No wonder nobody is talking to you… I thought… Wait… Then why did you come inside the restaurant?" Sister Wang asked.

"I work with Chen's Cash and Carry Store. Your kitchen staff ordered two boxes of roast duck meat at the last minute, so I am delivering them here before finishing my work." Zhang Qin Feng replied.

"Really? It's already almost half five by now… This is not good…" sister Wang takes a look on her watch. It was not their first time ordering from Zhang Qin Feng's uncle, so it is normal for them to know that the last call for delivery is before 4:45pm.

This means all the things that happened made Zhang Qin Feng finished his job more than half an hour later.

Feeling sorry for making Zhang Qin Feng working overtime, sister Wang immediately thinks of a way to compensate him.

'I can't be too direct on my words… What if I treat him a meal?' sister Wang changed her tone slightly. No matter what, Zhang Qin Feng was the only one that came forward when Hei Mang was trying to do something to her.

"Little brother… Let sister treat you some food, alright?" she said.

"Erm… I would like to, but I have something to do later… Would it be ok if you or the manager cleared the payment for the two boxes of roast duck breasts so I can go?" Zhang Qin Feng smiled as he shyly rejected her offer.

'What??? He actually doesn't want to eat with me? What? Am I not pretty enough?" sister Wang pouted slightly after her invitation for dinner together was rejected by Zhang Qin Feng.

"Xiao-Rourou, come here. Get manager Liu to settle the bill for him." sister Wang took the receipt from him and passed it to the waitress as she continues to ponder…

"Little brother… What's your name?" she asked. In her opinion, someone with little skills like Zhang Qin Feng shouldn't be a nobody. Furthermore, based on what Hei Mang said, his strength shouldn't be weak either.

"Zhang Qin Feng. The owner of Chen's Cash and Carry store is my uncle." he introduced himself.

"Alright. This big sister will remember your name. Next time, you'll have to eat with me for sure, promise?" sister Wang said as she extends her pinky finger out to seal the deal.

"Sure." Zhang Qin Feng interlinked his finger with sister Wang before he received the payment from Manager Liu. Politely excusing himself, Zhang Qin Feng went to retrieves the two boxes of roast duck breasts from where he left them and quickly went back to the kitchen.

'Zhang Qin Feng… Hehe…' Sister Wang smiled. Even to the workers, they rarely see her smiling this happily.

…

…

"Stein… Is there still time for us to continue with what we've planned?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.

[It's too late. We can only wait for the next day. I would suggest that the user use the time available to cultivate instead. By tomorrow, we'll be able to obtain enough charge for a single teleport over to the apocalypse]

Stein said.

"Alright… Then let's go home." without further ado, he decided on a new sprinting route and started to run back home. It was also the first time for him to accomplish two sets of 10,000 steps jog in a single day.

A hint of regret soon came to his mind as his stomach growled.

"I should just accepted sister Wang's invitation for dinner just now… Look at how my stomach is growling." Zhang Qin Feng returned to his own unit with a hand on his growling belly.

Luckily, there are still some fresh vegetables and a piece of beefsteak inside the fridge. By mixing it with two packets of instant noodles, Zhang Qin Feng makes a slightly watery broth using the flavoring packets. A big pot of beef noodle with spicy broth is soon ready to be savored as he opened the news channel on his desktop computer.

"The Han Country is looking on a long-term investment with…"

"Unknown future! More and more people are investing in digital currency… Is becoming a miner worth it?"

"Gold and Silver shortage. Would this turn into a trend as their market share continues to rise?"

There was also news regarding scandals between some celebrities and also politicians. But to Zhang Qin Feng, those weren't the news he's interested in.

[I have a small suggestion for the user]

Stein commented as the news report ended. As Zhang Qin Feng about to finish his meal, he might as well listen to what Stein has to say before he started his breathing technique training.

"What suggestion?" he asked.

[The idea behind mining for digital currency sounded like a proper investment. At the very least, the concept was used before in the world I came from, and it was very successful]

"Digital currency? But from what you can hear on the news, it was still in a very uncertain stage. There's also a limit of what and where it can be used." Zhang Qin Feng replied.

[That's because your world's technology is still immature. Let's try to put on a trial run if we managed to salvage a portable system from the apocalypse] 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Stein said.

"Alright. Let's start with the breathing technique." Zhang Qin Feng sat on the middle of his bed in a lotus position and slowly closed his eyes. The training continued throughout the night until it was close to 4:30am morning.

"Stein. Show me my status evaluation…" Zhang Qin Feng changed into a more comfortable to move outfit as he gets himself ready this time.

[Toot!]

[Are you ready, user?]

"Let's go." Zhang Qin Feng replied. The Phalanx X-02 is already in his hand as he answered Stein's question.
