Chapter 3: Purchase with merits earned from special missions.

As for these special missions and merits, Jiang Yan guessed they were probably related to the national-level dual-track missions Mo Jingcheng had mentioned.

But she’d find out for sure once she asked.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the backpacks on Su Dai and Sun Jingtao. “Are we heading out now?”

She didn’t ask if they’d eaten.

When they left the Blazing Flame Base earlier, everyone still had some food left on them.

For now, at least, they didn’t have to worry about going hungry.

Su Dai nodded. “Yeah. We’ve sorted out some supplies we probably won’t need and plan to trade them.”

“Give me a sec,” Jiang Yan said, turning to grab her usual backpack.

After locking up, the group called Ye Qing and, using the map for reference, headed toward the Area A marketplace.

Since they were underground, they didn’t dare walk too fast.

The air was thin, and the lighting wasn’t great either.

After about ten minutes, a sign painted in red reading [Supermarket A-①] appeared in their line of sight.

The entrance to the supermarket wasn’t very big—about the size of a standard garage door.

Next to the entrance were several temporary stalls.

One of the stalls was a bit brighter, and there was a long line in front of it.

Jiang Yan and the others took a closer look:

Well, would you look at that—this base even offered free haircuts!"
