Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 266: More optimistic

Chapter 266: More optimistic

If he really shared the same dream with Lin Murong…

Then she would have to go back and check whether her brain was not functioning properly.

“You make sense, too. Maybe it’s just the salted fish awakening,” Lin Murong mused, stroking his chin.

The Salted Fish Boss, like he was on a chicken-blood high, made an effort for several days, but his nature might just be that of a salted fish. After striving for a few days, he continued to be a salted fish.

They hadn’t even finished their research, and there he was, lying down again.

“I thought he had turned over a new leaf, but then he flipped right back,” Lin Murong said, clearly frustrated.

“Normal. Just tossing and turning like you do in your sleep,” Su Yinhe added.

Lin Murong: “??? How do you know I toss and turn in my sleep?”

“Chi Yan told me.”

Lin Murong: “??? He… he actually told you that?”

“Yeah,” Su Yinhe said with a slight smile, “he totally sold you out, just short of weighing you by the pound.”

Lin Murong: “…”

This damn Chi Yan, with his love-struck brain.

Brother, oh brother.

In his eyes, there’s no brotherhood.

Only love.

Hmph.

Lin Murong decided to keep his distance from Chi Yan, although he had always done so.

Chi Yan was difficult to approach.

Every time he got close to Chi Yan, he felt like Chi Yan was looking down on him, thinking he was dumb.

Chi Yan’s disdainful glance had never been hidden.

He was human, too, with his own pride, whether or not it was shattered to pieces.

So, staying away from Chi Yan, one could be happy and cheerful.

Regarding the Salted Fish Boss’s actions of flipping over only to flip back again, Lin Murong felt a sense of disappointment akin to hating iron for not becoming steel.

“You, you! You’ve already tried for a few days, why can’t you just keep it up?” Lin Murong was on the verge of scolding him, finger almost pointed at his nose.

“Anyone can try, but not everyone can keep up the effort,” the Salted Fish Boss said morosely.

“I can try, but I can’t keep it up. I just don’t have the perseverance.” What could he do?

Lying down too long, standing up could be tiring.

“You… you can’t persuade me with your flawed reasoning.” That was close, he had almost been persuaded.

He actually found it quite reasonable.

Usually, it was he who persuaded others, not the other way around.

“I’m not. I’m just stating my point of view,” the Salted Fish Boss felt innocent. He hadn’t tried to persuade Lin Murong; Lin asked him, so he just expressed what he thought.

So, it was wrong to tell the truth, huh.

Indeed, he should just keep lying down, saying and doing nothing.

That was the lifestyle best suited for him.

Anything else was too exhausting.

Not suitable for him.

“Sophistry,” Lin Murong had his own views. “Alright, no more talking, just lie down.”

“Sure thing.” The Salted Fish Boss flipped over and lay down smoothly.

The Salted Fish Boss’s efforts over the past few days hadn’t been in vain; at least, using the effort he had put in and the Crystal Cores he had earned, not only did he repay the lollipop the kid had given him, but he also bought a big bunch of candy and shared it with every person at the base.

And he still had dozens of pieces left for himself.

Very sweet.

The Salted Fish Boss, with the candy in his mouth, nodded in approval; the candy he bought was indeed sweet.

Sweet as could be.

He hoped his life would continue to be sweet as well.

Every single day, as sweet as can be.

With so many resources now, their future lives couldn’t be that bad.

At least they don’t have to eat mushrooms every day now.

Mushrooms still need to be eaten, after all, there are so many of them, and they had survived on mushrooms before. It’s not right to abandon the old love for a new.

Mainly mushrooms, with something different now and then for a treat.

Perfect.

Thinking about the good days ahead, the boss’s heart was filled with joy.

So much so, that when the kid came over, he didn’t even notice.

Not until the kid shook him did he react.

“Boss, boss, what happy thing are you thinking about?”

“Good stuff.” The boss sat up and ruffled the kid’s hair.

“What do you need from me?” This kid was a real King of Competition, usually hard at work at this hour, but today he actually came to see him.

For some reason, the kid seemed a bit reserved.

“I… I wanted to thank the boss. The candy is very tasty, very sweet. Thank you, boss.” After saying this, the kid even gave a bow.

Everyone else got one piece of candy, but the kid was an exception, he had ten.

Ten!

Ten times what others had.

After getting the candy, the kid wanted to come thank the boss.

The boss had always taken good care of him, treated him very well.

He never knew how to thank the boss.

Finally, by his own efforts, he dug up two extra Crystal Cores and traded them for a lollipop.

When he gave the candy away, he was actually worried whether the boss would accept it.

The boss was different from them; he had spent many days in the supermarket, eating lots of good food, and he wasn’t sure if the boss, who had tasted so much good stuff, would appreciate his candy.

The moment the candy was handed over, the kid’s heart leapt to his throat.

Fortunately, the boss accepted his candy and even ate it.

He was super happy.

But he didn’t expect that because of his lollipop, the boss actually came out of the supermarket and started working with them. The boss, who had always hated working, started working.

And with the Crystal Cores he earned, he bought lots and lots of candy.

Then he got ten pieces all to himself.

So many, so many.

He could eat one a day and it would last him ten days.

No one else had any, only he did. This was the boss’s special affection for him.

He really, really liked the boss.

If the boss liked to lie down, then he would stand up, working hard so the boss could continue resting.

To them, the boss was a benefactor; although he was lazy, to many, he was their pillar of spirit.

He might be lazy, but every one of them was willing to indulge him.

In some ways, without the boss, there wouldn’t be a Goldfish Base, without the boss, they wouldn’t have survived this long.

“No need to thank me, no need, this is a return gift. You also gave me candy, didn’t you?” The boss looked at him with affection.

“But I only gave you one lollipop.” The kid lowered his head, he gave the boss one piece of candy, but the boss gave him ten.

How could he not like such a boss?

“But your one piece of candy was sweeter than the ten I gave you combined,” the boss said cheerfully.

He knew the boss was just flattering him, but he didn’t say anything, just smiled along.

He liked to see the boss laugh, the boss always seemed like there wasn’t a problem he couldn’t solve, always cheerful and smiling.

Every time he saw the boss smile, his mood would greatly improve.

The two laughed foolishly together for quite a while.

In the end, it was Xiao Juan Wang who remembered he still had to hustle, and ran off to dig for Crystal Cores.

“What a sensible child,” the boss sighed with emotion, “so happy over ten pieces of candy.”

He daren’t even imagine, if there had been no apocalypse, how optimistic this child would’ve been.
