"???", Zhao Xiyue said.
"Why... why are you giving me so many things?"
"Oh~ You want me to help you sell them, right?"
Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "No, these things are for you!"
"For me? These things are quite precious, why are you giving them to me? I..."
Zhao Xiyue was a little touched. She had been trapped in the security room for the past few days and could only survive thanks to the food and water Zhang Chen provided! She had actually given up all hope of survival today! It was also Zhang Chen who gave her the hope and courage to keep living at the critical moment! At this moment, Zhao Xiyue was curled up under the pink little bear quilt that Zhang Chen had given her, immensely touched!
"Don't misunderstand, these things aren't given to you for free!"
"Consider it sales commission!" Zhang Chen said.
"Sales commission?"
"Yes, that's right! You help me sell bows and arrows, and I'll give you a sales commission. It's only fair!"
"Thank you, you're so kind! Heh heh!" Zhao Xiyue was moved and exceptionally happy. Having meat to eat, water to drink, and clean new clothes, how could she not be happy?! When she transmigrated, she was wearing an air hostess uniform – a short skirt, black, with high heels. It was very inconvenient for fighting. She stored all of them in her storage space and changed into this new tracksuit.
"Ah, this feels so comfortable~" Zhao Xiyue smiled charmingly. "By the way, Brother Zhang Chen, I've also contacted many buyers! They've all given pretty good terms, but I was wondering if you have any more weapons to sell?"
"Also, some buyers who bought bows and arrows want to buy some arrows. Do you know the price for these?" Zhao Xiyue asked.
"As for longbows, I have as many as you want. I can make them, and arrows are the same! As for the price, you can set it as you see fit! The weapons you sold today were at very favorable prices!" Zhang Chen sincerely praised.
It had to be said that Zhao Xiyue indeed had a talent for sales. Moreover, girls naturally had an advantage when negotiating with men. Sometimes, men would feel it was ungentlemanly to haggle with a delicate young lady over trivial things! So, Zhao Xiyue took advantage of this. The bows and arrows she sold were much more expensive than those Zhang Chen sold! And there was still a continuous stream of buyers. Zhang Chen knew very well that weapons were also a type of obsolete product. Just like he obtained the blueprint for the energy armor today. In the future, as survivors' strength increased, more and more weapon and armor blueprints would appear, and bows and arrows would become less and less marketable. Therefore, it was always right to strike while the iron was hot and make as much profit as possible while everyone's strength was still average.
"Alright, then I'll make the decisions! Also, if you have anything else, I can help you sell it too! It's not like I have anything else to do while I'm stuck here~" Zhao Xiyue volunteered proactively.
"Okay, let me see..." Zhang Chen looked at his storage space and then opened the trading interface: "You can also help me sell these things! [White Egret Brand Cigarettes], [Skincare Products], [Perfume], [Tent], [Sleeping Bag], [Fishing Rod], [Outdoor Table and Chairs], [Clean Sportswear], [Lunch Meat Cans], [Purified Water] (requires containers). That's about it! But food and water are only exchanged for energy cores and blueprints; nothing else!"
The [Lunch Meat Cans] that Zhang Chen provided were not the [Beef Cans] he got from the large truck. These [Lunch Meat Cans] were the initial food supplies provided by the system to every survivor. There were a total of 12 cans. To be honest, the taste of these lunch meat cans couldn't compare to beef at all! Moreover, the quantity of these things was scarce. And unlike instant noodles, which you might find in supermarkets, these couldn't be stacked indefinitely! The stock of these would decrease over time! They also took up space in the storage space. It was better to sell them directly and free up some storage space!
"Okay, Brother Zhang Chen, leave it to me! I'll definitely sell them at a good price!" Zhao Xiyue said excitedly. She felt proud that she could share some of the burden for Zhang Chen within her capabilities! At least she wasn't freeloading! Zhao Xiyue's mindset did not include being kept or freeloading. Perhaps for most women, they wished to find a reliable and capable man. They could then focus on being beautiful and do nothing, just being a pretty vase! Zhao Xiyue did not think so. She believed that a woman's image and figure must be maintained. But she also must be able to share responsibilities with her man! Otherwise, she would become a burden! Especially in the apocalypse. No matter how attractive you were, if you had no ability or value, it wouldn't change the fact that you were a dead weight! Survival in the apocalypse was already difficult enough, who would want to bring a dead weight along?! Therefore, Zhao Xiyue hoped to become valuable. Even if she could lighten Zhang Chen's workload a tiny bit, she would still have the value of existence!
"Okay, keep it up!"
"Mm, I'll work hard! Brother Zhang Chen, you should also take care of yourself and get some rest early!"
"Okay, I got it!" Zhang Chen closed the chat channel. He stretched and focused his attention on the [Bloodstained Diary] on the table. The cover of this diary had a corner stained with blood. The blood had long since dried and turned dark brown. It had not seeped into the diary, so it didn't affect reading. Zhang Chen opened the first page of the diary.

The Federal Medical Committee told everyone that this was just a common flu, and there was no need to worry! It could be prevented and treated through herd immunity! And in the future, this virus would become a part of everyone's lives like a common cold! Although I'm not in the medical field, I feel that this virus is different! How can a cold cause death? Some people even exhibit symptoms like rabies, such as fear of light and water? I've decided to wear a mask. Regardless of what others do, I must be responsible for myself and those around me!

Dragon Rising Nation has begun building high walls around key cities. I really don't know what they're thinking! All major media outlets have scoffed at it. More and more students are getting sick at school, and internet cafes are unusually empty recently! This is the first time I've been to an internet cafe without having to queue, which is quite nice!

The writings for the next period were all about trivial daily life. Zhang Chen had no interest in this person's privacy and skipped past it.
