When the zombie apocalypse broke out, Hu Ran returned to her hometown and got bound to an All-Purpose Supermarket System.
From the start, she had a tiny, shabby house with nothing in it but cigarettes and cigars.
This is a supermarket, and it's supposed to be all-purpose? She'd be annoyed just lying around in there! The little shack charged rent every day, and if she couldn't sell the cigarettes and level up, she'd be stuck there forever.
On the eighteenth day of the apocalypse, all she could see were zombies shambling around. She hadn't seen a single strand of human hair!
How was she supposed to sell anything?
At last, on the twenty-ninth day, she saw a living person. He looked so pale and thin that she worried he wouldn't buy the cigarettes. Damn, it was the apocalypse. Who'd waste crystal cores on cigarettes when they could trade them for instant noodles instead?
Then she went out to hawk her wares. Watching the man buy cigarettes one after another, then close his eyes and shudder with pleasure after taking a puff, she fell into deep thought.
Could cigarettes be a source of life, too?
After she introduced her goods, the mobile stall took off and successfully upgraded into a convenience store. Now she could sell liquor, snacks, and instant noodles!
They're all food and supplies. Nobody could ever have too much of that!
Gradually, business kept growing.
A bigger convenience store, a small supermarket, a large supermarket, a semi-all-purpose supermarket, and finally an all-purpose supermarket.
The goods she sold got more and more outrageous. Never mind swords and knives, she even sold guns, tanks, rocket launchers, and airplanes!
And the most outrageous things of all were gene enhancers, nutritional solutions, and a cure for the zombie virus,
all futuristic products.
At the very end of that price list with all its countless zeros, there was even a spaceship?
