Games Survive Without Boundaries
Inflation 2

After the female employer left, Su Han rushed to the supermarket. It was only when he arrived that the food and daily necessities in the supermarket had already been emptied.

There are also some baby food and sauces on the shelf, as it cannot be used to fill the stomach, so it is left.

Su Han thought for a moment, and walked slowly along the — road he planned to look around to see if there were any convenience stores, canteens, pharmacies, etc nearby.

After walking for ten minutes, he found a convenience store. The moment he entered, the shelves were mostly empty, as if they had just been ransacked by bandits.

Continue, there is a large pharmacy. The moment he entered, the shelf was empty, and Su Han almost thought the store would close. After asking that, he realized that people were looting too much and that everything had been bought.

Su Han seemed to feel it. He muttered softly, "It seems that the problem of insufficient supplies of goods seems to be more serious than the problem of currency devaluation."

If the currency depreciates, the return will decrease, at least he can buy something. Inventory of goods is insufficient, it is very impossible to buy supplies with waving banknotes.

Su Han wandered around, just like a walk at night. After walking for a full forty minutes, he finally found a small shop in the corner of the corner that survived.

“What do you need?” Greet the shop owner.

Su Han was stunned. Actually he had already stored a lot of items, but how could people not get too many useful materials? Of course, more is better.

Counting carefully, he already had 100 soaps, 100 bottles of mineral water, 10 slices of pork thread butter bread, 10 medical bandages, 5 boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, and 5 boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, 70 Steel ball bags (100 per bag), and 2 catapults. There was also a bottle of milk and a piece of chocolate bread.

“Ten pieces of soap.” Thinking about the fact that food and water could be obtained with professional talent, and medicines were not available, Su Han decided to continue storing his daily needs.

The shopkeeper immediately threw the soap, "A piece of soap has 8 skins, a total of 80."

Su Han paid his bill, and at the same time sighed with emotion. When he went to the supermarket in the morning, a piece of soap was no more than 5 shells. At night, the price immediately became 8 shells. And he just feels lucky because there is a place to buy daily necessities ...

Probably crazy.

Thinking so, Su Han immediately bought toothpaste, toothbrush, and towels, and spent all his money.

After a tiring day, hygiene dropped from 100 to 53, and was almost yellowed. But after using toothpaste, toothbrushes and towels, hygiene goes straight back to 98.

After the bowl of noodles was eaten, Su Han fell on the bed after eating, and Su Han immediately fell asleep.

Tomorrow is another new day.

**

At 08:30 the next day, Su Han started working on time. Since it was still early in the morning, there were not many customers in the store and not too busy. He greets customers and listens carefully to people's comments.

Some aunts sat at the top table, eating noodles while complaining to each other.

"Yesterday, I couldn't eat after work, so I went straight to the department store to buy it. Luckily, I left early, otherwise I couldn't get anything."

"I went to department stores and supermarkets to buy, and it took me a whole hour to get in line before it was my turn to check out."

"Friends I know desperately exchange cash for real things, and they panic one by one, which makes me panic. No, I'm gonna go buy some supplies and put them in the house."

"I heard the shelves in department stores and supermarkets are full again this morning. I had to rush to buy some food and reuse it. Yesterday the shelves were mostly empty, but I was surprised."

Are the supermarket shelves full again? Su Han silently thought, this is good news.

However, within a few minutes after he had calmed down, at 9 o'clock, the mechanical sound of the system went off again

"The second day, the price level continued to rise to 50%."

Only this time, the amount of milk and chocolate bread in the portable warehouse did not increase.

Suddenly, the aunt who was eating noodles gestured, "Little girl, this noodle is delicious. Bring me a bowl."

Su Han had yet to speak, the female boss spoke first, "It's fine to pack, but a bowl of 23 shells."

The aunt was very dissatisfied, "i just ate a bowl, didn't 15 shells?"

The owner seemed indifferent, "So, now, now, the price is different."

The aunt was speechless and had to give up in grief.

After aunt left, the woman's boss uttered a sentence, “I'll buy an item, you'll just see the store.” Then hurry up.

Su Han predicted the owner was afraid that the price of flour would continue to rise in the future, so he rushed over to buy the item. Su Han did not know how much he could buy.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon that the woman's boss returned to the noodle shop, but her face was ugly, "I bought two bags of flour and used them first, then I'll think of another way."

One bag of flour could make about two hundred bowls of noodles, and two bags .. might be able to sustain a noodle shop operation for 5 or 6 days.

“En.” Su Han replied, but thinking in his heart, what can they do if the system establishes hyperinflation?

After getting her salary at night, Su Han found the large supermarket empty again. In desperation, he could only go to the cafeteria. Only this time, the canteen in the corner did not work properly. I don't know how anyone else found him. When he arrived, more than half of the items were emptied.

“There are 13 soap shells, and there are only fifteen left. But I have to keep five pieces for myself, and sell up to ten pieces.” The owner stated.

Su Han had a cold face, saying as if he had bought ten pieces of soap!

"I want seven pieces of soap. The rest ..." Su Han searched for a long time, and finally inevitably asked for help, "What do you have that is less than 9 shells?"

“Then seven pieces of soap and a bottle of milk!” Su Han made the final decision.

After dinner, using the two soaps to improve hygiene to 100, Su Han was thrown and could not sleep. The difficulty of the game seems to be higher than his imagination, and always feels that the difficulty increases exponentially every day.

At 9 the next day, the system went off on time.

"On the third day, the price level continued to rise 50%."

Su Han moved away for a while. What is the concept of prices that continue to rise up to 50%? Now the noodle shop sells 23 shells in one bowl, and if the owner raises the price again, the noodles should be 35 leather bowls.

In other words, he worked in a noodle restaurant for a day, and the salary he earned was not as much as the three meals he ate in his stomach.

Certainly think more optimistically, eating three meals a day is equivalent to his double salary ...

"I'm going to die! This will not give people a way to survive!" The woman's owner's lips overflowed anxiously. He said he wanted to find a way, but after thinking about it for a long time it was impossible. It's not easy to get a bag of flour.

Su Han did not speak, but did his duty calmly. When the noodle shop couldn't survive, he had to leave.

At night, although he felt that there would be no merchandise left in the cafeteria, he still ran with a glimmer of hope.

As expected, the shopkeeper replied, "20 grains of soap sold early."

“What else is in that store?” Su Han wanted to spend that money.

“Eat, drink, use, it's okay.” The shopkeeper replied simply.

Su Han, "..."

What else could he say? Can only accept destiny.

“Commerce items are emptied during the day. Of course you can't buy anything when you arrive late.” The shopkeeper could not help but say something.

Su Han spread his hands, feeling helpless, "No way, I have to go to work. From morning until night, I only have free time."

The shopkeeper looked at a young girl and could not bear it. He finally pointed out a clear path, "Do you know of a department store? Fill the shelves at six o'clock every morning. If you wake up early, you should be able to buy daily necessities."

After a pause, he couldn't help but wonder, "By the way, why did you buy so much soap?"

“Pavailability.” Su Han blinked and said firmly, “I'm afraid the stock will run out later, so I want to keep it more at home.” Although in the eyes of an NPC, a piece of soap could be used for half a month, but for a player Say, use one piece at a time and it would disappear.

“Because there are too many people with similar ideas, so daily necessities run out!” The owner shook his head, feeling that hoarding was very bad behavior.

Su Han did not say much, and left after smiling.

On the fourth day of the game, she woke up very early and rushed to the department store to shop.

Beyond a doubt, it turns out that many people have similar thoughts. In the morning, department stores and supermarkets are crowded and crowded. Once the seller puts the goods on the shelf, the customer can swarm all the goods.

Su Han had quick eyes and quick hands, and ended up picking up 5 pieces of soap. He struggled to suppress the crowd and went to the cashier to pay the bills. Then ... he saw a team that was over ten meters long.

For a moment, Su Han almost fainted deep in his heart. But it is impossible, if you want to buy soap, you have to queue honestly. An hour and twenty minutes later, Su Han walked out the supermarket door carrying 5 pieces of soap.

Back at the noodle restaurant, the owner was worried, and he muttered something from time to time.

Su Han did not care about her, made noodles for breakfast, and then started working.

At 9 o'clock, the mechanical sound of the system sounded like a death bell.

“Fourth day, price level up 75%.”

The rate of hyperinflation is not slowing down, but it is accelerating.

Su Han glanced over to the portable warehouse and found that he had received the + pack of chocolate bread milk.

The female boss took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I want to talk to you."

"Your word." Su Han's face was smart. But in fact, he had a faint premonition in his heart of what he was going to talk about - a bowl of 61 seashell noodles, with his daily salary, he could barely afford it.

But the facts prove that the boss is still very kind. He said in a negotiating tone, "The salary will not be paid. What do you think of two meals a day, day and night?"

“No problem,” Su Han replied with a smile, with a very nice appearance. But in fact, he knew in his heart that finding a job was not easy, and it was difficult to buy a product that matched his hard earned wages. Thinking like this, the willingness of the boss to pack two meals was already good.

"Reply and back to normal. I can't get through these days." The boss' wife couldn't help but murmur.

and yet……

Prices rose 75% on the fifth day.

Prices rose 75% on the sixth day.

The price level rose 100% on the seventh day.

In just three days, the price of a bowl of noodles had already risen to 375 shells.

This time, bad news came, "Due to the shortage of raw materials, many production companies had to close, and their employees lost their jobs."
