Dream Delivery System: My Delivery Jobs Keep Changing History – CH67

Chapter 67

The first time, it was a full sandwich; the second time, each person got a third of a sandwich; now it was one-fifth. The sandwiches kept getting smaller, and their effect weaker, almost imperceptible.

“Eating it whole gives the most obvious effect,” said a team member who had just come out of the Cube World dungeon. “Before, I felt deeply exhausted, but now it’s much better. If I could take it into the dungeon, I think it would help me quite a bit.”

Jiang Xingzhou nodded and looked at the remaining sandwiches. “Who’s going into the dungeon tonight? Everyone takes three each.”

“Three? Isn’t that too many?”

The minister just smiled and shook her head. “Deputy Minister Jiang called me. He’s confident he can produce them quickly. Early tomorrow morning, send someone to the shop to stand guard. If there are any, take them.”

“How many should we take?” The bread packaging clearly stated a shelf life of only three days.

Jiang Xingzhou thought of nearby cities. Even if they couldn’t consume them all, there were sister departments; for consumable props like this, the more, the better.

“Take as many as you can, no upper limit.”

So at dawn the next day, the officials sent people to the door of the Dream-Fulfilling Food House.

Coincidentally, when he arrived, people from Sun Glory had also shown up. They glanced at each other cautiously and positioned themselves on either side of the shop, like two guards.

The curious players in the crowd saw the scene and kept their distance.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jitang had already woken up and was acting as the middleman, sending messages between the buyer and seller of the training equipment.

“I feel like I’m playing matchmaker,” he muttered.

After finding a recycling store owner willing to buy at 32% of the original price, he wanted to bring the three parties into a small chat group to quickly finalize the deal.

But Boss Zhang, the boxing-trained owner, despite his imposing appearance, had an unexpectedly timid heart and fully entrusted Jiang Jitang to handle it. So Jiang Jitang did all the talking.

It wasn’t easy work. Both sides wanted to maximize profit, and they haggled like a tug-of-war until midnight before settling on the final price. Jiang Jitang was the rope being pulled.

Money is hard to earn, and he had to start his day early, smiling through service.

“Boss Qian, I know you and have done business with you before. I trust your character, which is why I came to you first.

“This batch of equipment is top-notch, nearly new, easy to sell in the market. It’s just that other small shops can’t absorb it, and Zhang, the boxing-trained owner, has lost interest in running it anymore. Otherwise, he could easily restart elsewhere.”

Jiang Jitang didn’t want to wait for them to drag things out; he hoped both parties could conclude today.

“Alright, then we’ll do it this way. I’ll take you to inspect them, and if it’s okay, you can take them directly.”

“Thanks, if the deal works out, we’ll give you a commission,” Boss Qian said with a smile.

“No need, just call me before coming; I’ll be ready,” Jiang Jitang replied.

Boss Qian had both online and offline second-hand shops, and multiple large warehouses. Handling this batch was no problem. Plus, the equipment was high-quality and branded, easy to sell in the market, which justified the 32% buying price.

Of course, Jiang Jitang had to put in effort, having long dealt with the second-hand circle and understanding the market. Previously, he agreed with the boxing gym owner to take his reward in training equipment; now Boss Qian mentioned a commission, which was good, as he had more equipment to leverage.

After finishing with Boss Qian, Jiang Jitang had to reply to Chef Ding, who had sent him a message early, asking if he could come by tomorrow while teaching students. Jiang Jitang agreed and expressed his gratitude.

[Clock in?] The bubble frame appeared after he finished everything.

The Dream-Fulfilling Food House had a daily check-in for free resources.

“Clock in.”

Ding!
[Today’s check-in completed. Tasker received: ‘Fluorescent Lamp’.]

[Fluorescent Lamp: A 1.2-meter tube exposed to air, automatically turns on at night, allowing 24-hour shopping for customers. Environment +2, cannot be upgraded.]

Finally, the wasteland-style food house had light.

After getting up, eating breakfast, and jogging in the park, the ingredients he ordered yesterday arrived. Jiang Jitang immediately went home to stock the store, and products started rolling out continuously.

891 sandwiches and 891 pumpkin breads were produced. One-star items, regardless of type, sold for 50 yuan each.

Within two minutes of launching, the items were sold out with a “biubiu” sound.

“Two new customers, 1,782 points?” Jiang Jitang couldn’t believe the numbers.

Adding previous points, he now had 2,273, a level of wealth he had never seen before. Delivering wouldn’t make one rich, indeed.

With some money in hand, he wanted to upgrade the shop, but could only afford a broken vending machine.

Upgrading it to a normal machine required 1,000 points, so buying new was more cost-effective. He bought two machines, which filled his space and reduced his points to triple digits.

“Since I’ve started spending, might as well use all my points,” he thought. With stable income, he began upgrading his equipment.

Basic liquid protective suits and electric stun guns, essential daily equipment, each required 100 points to upgrade. He had to upgrade.

[Equipment stats:
– Beginner Liquid Protective Suit: Resists most medium-high physical damage and moderate radiation, corrosion, freezing, burning; upgradeable (1,000 points).
– Beginner Electric Gun: Can attack targets within 30 meters with three adjustable intensity levels (injure, stun, kill); upgradeable (1,000 points).]

“I feel like I’m playing a real-life idle business game that encourages microtransactions,” Jiang Jitang thought, controlling the urge to spend all his points.

He placed another, larger order, enough for 2,000 sandwiches and pumpkin breads.

“At this pace, I’ll pay off the store debt soon,” he thought, even finding the mop easier to handle.

Meanwhile, cleaning tools operated magically to tidy the house; by the morning’s end, the floors, bathrooms, and kitchen sparkled.

“Clean house, clean soul.”

—

After lunch, Boss Qian called, already on his way. Jiang Jitang contacted Zhang to arrange a meeting at the closed boxing gym.

The three met for the first time.

“Nice to meet you, Boss Zhang,” Boss Qian said with a typical businessman’s smile.

“Hello,” Boss Zhang replied, visibly nervous.

Jiang Jitang tried to break the ice but it failed, so he jumped straight to the topic: the equipment purchase.

Boss Zhang relaxed, opened the gym, and switched on the lights. Since the deal was pre-agreed, Boss Qian inspected the equipment and nodded, arranging transportation.

They completed the transaction on-site; aside from Jiang Jitang’s reward, all training equipment was taken, with cash directly transferred to Boss Zhang.

During the deal, Jiang Jitang answered a call from Zhao Jianming of Sun Glory, who bragged about grabbing pumpkin bread last night and sandwiches this morning.

“How did they do this? Incredible. Props from the Cube World? Are the updated props this powerful?” Zhao Jianming asked directly.

“Hmm, you could say that,” Jiang Jitang replied, letting them imagine the rest.

“Really? No way to save some for me?”

“…No.” Jiang Jitang shivered; it was embarrassing for someone of that age to whine, and his voice was unpleasant too.

“Oh, one more thing, are you free recently?” Zhao Jianming asked. Another organization called ‘Shanhai No.1’ lost its healer and asked him as middleman to help.

Due to new team rules, previous dungeon healers couldn’t accompany, and even with good props and dungeon info, solo runs were still very risky.

“I can’t help personally, but I can introduce other official healers. Don’t focus only on me; better to train another healer.”

After finishing Sun Glory matters, Boss Zhang arrived smiling. Though he lost profit, he cleared inventory and recouped some costs, grateful to Jiang Jitang, the ‘middleman.’

“All the equipment is ready in my office,” Zhang said.

Though not a business expert, Boss Zhang was a professional boxer. He provided the best equipment and, based on Jiang Jitang’s measurements, prepared matching boxing headgear, gloves, and shoes.

“You’re preparing for kids aged 5–6? I’ve prepared all three sizes so they can use from 5–6 to 15–16,” Boss Zhang said. The headgear and gloves weren’t worth much resale-wise; better to give them away.

“Wow, so much?” Jiang Jitang was surprised at the volume.

Three sets of new headgear, gloves, and shoes were included, plus a thick three-centimeter mat for foot protection, children’s pillar-style punching bags with suction cups, a heavy mini pull-up bar, and a box of movable hand targets, dumbbells, hand wraps, reaction balls, wall-mounted fixed targets, and jump ropes—everything sized to specifications.

“Jump ropes help a lot with leg strength, coordination, and cardio,” Boss Zhang said, now as Coach Zhang, passionate about boxing.

“I also have classic king-of-boxing video tutorials for internal use, I’ll give them to you,” he added.

Finally, Boss Zhang pushed the sliding office door: “And this too, take it, I won’t use it.”

Jiang Jitang’s eyes went wide.

Wow. A brand-new, compact boxing ring.
