Su Changxing plunged a saber into the zombie's head, finally killing it. He glanced back at the Mysterious Shop, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the light again.
"As expected, you can't enter repeatedly, I thought I could exploit a bug."
He wasn't transported back into that space, which was anticipated. It would have been unreasonable if he could, and it seemed only one person could enter at a time.
Su Changxing carried the sack back to the previous room. Since he had cleared it once before, he didn't encounter any zombies on the way back.
He planned to sell everything in the sack. Most likely, the discount shop would refresh food supplies, so he didn't need to worry about food and water.
There's no need to hoard; Points are more important now.
Then, he posted a new sales thread and pinned it.
Lucky Child: Got some new supplies.
Solid wooden stick, 100 Points, 5 available.

550ml water, 100 Points, 5 available.

One pack of instant noodles, 100 Points, 5 available.

The water and food are clean and not expired, safe to consume, guaranteed good quality.
The wooden stick is priced the same as the previous steel rod, at 100 Points, which Su Changxing considered since others now have more Points.
Moreover, these sticks sold in the shop are more like baseball bats, quite solid, with similar power to steel rods, just lacking in durability.
Su Changxing didn't sell all the water and food, only five of each, to prevent anyone from guessing his identity and location based on the quantity of water and instant noodles sold. So he still had two bottles of water and three packs of instant noodles left.
Water was put in the backpack, while the noodles were temporarily stored in the room's cabinet.
"It's possible someone is hoarding supplies to sell at a high price when everyone is in dire need. Thinking about it, I'm fairly conscientious."
In just a short while, the post received a lot of replies.
Reply 1: Wow, wow, wow, are you opening a department store, boss? I'll trade 100 Points for a wooden stick.
Reply 2: Nice, I have plenty of Points, but I can't find supplies. I'll trade 200 Points for a bottle of water and a pack of noodles.
Reply 3: Just shows how lucky the big boss is to gather so many things.
Reply 4: Seems like even if you can't find supplies, you can kill enough zombies to trade Points for them.
······
The demand for food and water exceeded Su Changxing's expectations. In less than five minutes, all the water and instant noodles were sold out, leaving some positive feedback praising the quality of his goods.
As for the wooden sticks, three were left. After another ten minutes, they were all sold out.
[Total Points: 1830, Accumulated Points: 3285]
Accumulated Points?
Su Changxing noticed that after leaving the Mysterious Shop, his phone had a tab for accumulated Points statistics.
"So, the Points spent in the Mysterious Shop are counted in the final tally, but those spent in the discount shop aren't. This seems odd."
Su Changxing realized that the discount shop on his phone didn't seem to be a default feature of the Doomsday Game. It felt more like a bug, virus, or backdoor.
"However, this should be a good thing for me, at least it means I'm not entirely bound by the Doomsday Game's rules."
With another 1500 Points credited, Su Changxing's mind became agile. He might not need to wait until tomorrow night to go to the Mysterious Shop for Speed Enhancement.
He could go to another Mysterious Shop now. There should be different items; if he goes too late, valuable items like Speed Enhancement might be bought by others.
Currently, with four in speed and four in power, the night wasn't as dangerous, and most of the street zombies had been lured away.
Su Changxing glanced at the window, stepped onto it, pushed off with his left foot on the iron railing, braced with his reverse hand, and with two moves, he was on the rooftop.
He climbed up the steel beam along the billboard's side and reached the top of the billboard in a few minutes. This vantage point was high enough to see the far end of the street.
Sure enough, in the distance on another street, there was a glow, which should be the Mysterious Shop. He also saw many zombies darting along the street.
"This should work."
Su Changxing estimated the distance; he could reach that spot with a full sprint in over ten minutes, and the zombie density along the way wasn't high.
He flipped back into the room, wiped the blood off the blade with a rag, and, holding the knife, stepped into the night once more.
"I feel like I'm getting a bit reckless, moving at night is still too risky."
Su Changxing walked down the street, clearly hearing the distant howling sounds. After walking a short distance, two zombies attacked him from two directions.
Without hesitation, he raised the steel saber and charged at the zombie on the left, swinging the blade horizontally, sinking it deftly into its upper brain. Retrieving the blade, he reversed it with the same technique, beheading the other zombie.
After easily disposing of the two zombies, Su Changxing felt a strange sensation, as if he were slicing vegetables.
Even at night, he could easily handle an attack from two zombies.
Although he only increased his speed by one point, it significantly transformed his combat effectiveness.
Su Changxing kept his composure and continued jogging forward, occasionally encountering a lone zombie, which he dispatched without much effort.

In the evening, a loud noise suddenly erupted outside. Shen Jinxuan roughly guessed the situation: someone was attempting to explore the Mysterious Shop. She hid in a room not far from the shop.
As expected, after the loud noise lured away some zombies, five or six men holding weapons appeared on the street. After clearing out the zombies, they headed for the Mysterious Shop.
In the apocalypse, seeing other humans should have been a joyous occasion, but she ultimately remained silent, hiding her presence.
She was a rational person who knew that revealing herself in an unequal situation would likely lead to poor outcomes.
Moreover, her beauty was both an asset and a danger.
"Someone on the forum is aggressively accumulating Points; maybe the Mysterious Shop is related to Points, but I only have 110 Points at hand."
In Shen Jinxuan's surprised gaze, one person vanished at the Mysterious Shop's entrance; it was a sudden disappearance.
A few minutes later, the man reappeared with an extra sack seemingly filled with items.
Afterward, they discussed something at the shop's entrance and then left.
Meanwhile, she noticed something unusual on the other end of the street: a dark figure was swiftly approaching, and each zombie pouncing on him was promptly cut down.
A person with extraordinary combat ability was Shen Jinxuan's first impression.
There were more zombies than Su Changxing had anticipated, but thanks to his significantly enhanced combat power, it wasn't a big deal.
"This should be the fifteenth zombie, right? 150 Points, an experience farming creature."
Looking ahead, Su Changxing could already see the brightly lit Mysterious Shop.
