Apocalypse: Transmigrated with an Overlord System-Chapter 164: Base Canteen

The brief peace of the base did not let Liora relax.

She stood at the door of the convenience store, looking at the neatly arranged residential buildings not far away, but her heart was still heavy. She knew that this was not enough.

"They are satisfied now, but people will not be satisfied forever."

This is human nature—there was nothing yesterday, and today even if they have a mouthful of hot soup and live in a clean house, they will be grateful. But as long as time goes by, this satisfaction will become a habit, and then become a matter of course.

"In a few weeks, they will be tired of instant noodles every day."

Liora curled her lips in self-mockery. If she were an ordinary survivor, she might also think like them—after all, no one can live on instant noodles for a lifetime, even in the end of the world.

And she, as the founder of this base, must prepare the answer before "they have a demand".

So she decided to build a community canteen.

She opened the system panel and skillfully called up the building options.

[Construction: Manual canteen (required materials: 300 wood, 120 stone, 20 iron parts, 2 High grade crystal core, 50,000 resource points]Are you sure to build it? [Y/N]

She glanced at the required materials and sighed. At least she had enough things, she had collected all these materials by her shadows. They were quite efficient in this task. But she could not always ask them and decided to generate a new task of collecting these items in the management hall.

[Confirming...][Construction has started, estimated completion time: 60 seconds.]

The sun gradually rose and the general outline of the canteen was finally completed, before anyone woke up in the base.

The outer wall was built with reinforced wood, and the corners were fixed with metal brackets. The smell of wood and paint mixed in the air, with a sense of plain security. A wooden sign hung high at the door, with gold characters printed on it:

"Base Canteen - Everyone Has Food."

The system thoughtfully embedded a weak light behind the font, which can be clearly seen at night.

This canteen is divided into four main areas:

1. Material Exchange Terminal

On the left side of the entrance, there stands a one-meter-high black metal shell terminal, with a flickering screen. Just put your personal ID card close to the sensing area to view the list of materials that can be exchanged for food:

Wild boar meat: 15 points/kgSweet root tuber: 10 points/kgMutant rabbit: 30 points/piece

Below the screen is a material delivery port. Just put the collected wild ingredients in, the system will automatically scan to determine whether it is qualified, and immediately recharge the corresponding "base points" to the personal card.

This is the first time in the base—people no longer need to kill in exchange for food.

They can rely on their hands, collection, and labor to earn real food and clothing.

2. Cooking Area

Behind the exchange terminal is a row of open kitchens.

There are no high-tech automatic food processors or cold nutrition capsule processors here, only the most primitive stoves, iron pots, and cutting boards.

There are several shiny kitchen knives and spatulas hanging on the wall and several induction stoves.

Liora has clearly expressed her thoughts, "This is not an automated station produced by the system. This is a place where people cook for people." Because she does not want to eat the food cooked by the system, in her opinion food cooked by people will always be more tasty.

3. Dining Area

In the center of the cafeteria, there are tables and chairs made of wood. They are strong and durable.

4. Food Counter

On the right side of the dining area, there is a raised counter, and the electronic screen behind it scrolls to display the menu of the day.

Survivors only need to place an order at the terminal and swipe the card to receive it. If you don’t have points, you can also choose to work in exchange for meals: washing dishes, wiping tables, cleaning—as long as you are willing to work hard, you won’t starve.

Under this system, no one will starve to death because of lack of combat effectiveness.

The next morning, just after dawn, people in the base woke up one after another.

When the first survivor who woke up early opened the door of the dormitory and rubbed his sleepy eyes to look outside the base, he was stunned—right next to the convenience store, on the originally empty open space, a brand new building appeared at some point!

"...Am I still asleep?" He muttered to himself, pinching himself hard, it hurt.

Then, more and more people came out of the dormitory, and when they saw the "suddenly appeared" building, they all widened their eyes in shock.

"I remember it was still empty here yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was still walking here at 10 o’clock in the evening, how come all night...?"

"What are the words on it? ’Base Canteen - Everyone has food to eat’?"

Someone read it out in a low voice, and then the whole scene fell into a brief silence.

Then——

"Is it true?! A canteen has really been built?!"

"Great, I don’t want to eat instant noodles anymore!!"

"I have mutant turtle meat, I’ll try to exchange it for food!"

Some people were so excited that they rushed back to the dormitory, rummaged through the boxes to find the game, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes at the bottom of the box, and swarmed to the canteen, scrambling to surround the material exchange terminal with a black metal shell.

I saw a person carefully put a bag of cleaned hare meat into the item port below, the machine made a "beep" sound, and then a prompt flashed on the interface:

[Test passed, one hare meat, has been converted into 25 base points, and has been transferred to the personal card.]

"It can really be exchanged for points!"

"Damn, it’s too advanced, this system is too awesome!"

"Then I’ll quickly go and get the mushrooms I picked yesterday to try!"
