Dream Delivery System: My Delivery Jobs Keep Changing History – CH95

Chapter 95

A new feature appeared: street stalls.

Level 1 Street Stall: Select a suitable location and place a vending machine. Can place one vending machine. Shares the main store’s protection system. Upgrade cost: 1,000 points.

Level 2 Protection: Provides defense against conventional firearms and physical attacks, with limited counterattack capability (counterattack ends when the attacker loses consciousness).

After so much time, Dream-Fulfillment Food House finally evolved from a 4sqm “small pigeon cage” into a 12sqm “large pigeon cage”, and the storefront expanded to 4 meters wide.

Still small, but if squeezed a bit, it can hold more vending machines.

There were also two mobile resource drop points added, considered extensions of the store, breaking geographical limitations.

Additionally, protection upgraded from Level 1 to Level 2. Other changes were minimal.

Jiang Jitang opened the level-up requirements for the Level 2 store:

[Comfort score ? 100
10+ recipes rated 2 stars or higher
Total recipes rated 30 stars or higher (sum of star levels)
1 million items sold
1,000 distinct customers]

Of these, the 10 recipes rated 2 stars plus were already completed.

The 1,000 customer requirement was troublesome, since most daily goods were divided among a few organizations. It was always the same people coming and going—managing even 100 distinct customers had been hard.

No wonder two mobile stalls appeared, he thought. They were the key to attracting new customers.

These stalls couldn’t be placed in Jin City, since the main shop was already there—they needed to expand the consumer base. But Jiang Jitang didn’t know where to put them, so he’d wait and consult professionals.

As for the main store, current organizations would retain their shares, but additional vending machines would be introduced—some reserved for newly registered player organizations, and some for unaffiliated independent players.

Jiang Jitang opened the shop menu.

A 3 star food item earns 3 points per portion. He had accumulated a six-digit amount of points, enough to buy equipment.

However, upon seeing the upgraded equipment available, he realized his points would once again be insufficient. In a few days, he’d have to reload about 100,000 points.

Besides the existing broken vending machines (1,000 points each), two types of upgradeable equipment were now available:

[Crude Takeout Locker:
– Beige wooden cabinet with 9 compartments
– Each holds one packaged meal box with one item
– Online reservation required
– Pickup within 6 hours by number
– Refreshes at midnight
– Cost: 1,000 points each
– Upgrade cost: 1,000 points]

[Small Welfare Window:
Sells half-price items
Beneficiary group set by buyer
Purchase via ID
Cost: 1,000 points each
Upgrade cost: 1,000 points]

The new store area was approximately 3×4sqm. The upgraded regular vending machines measured 0.8m wide, 1.6m tall.

Jiang Jitang already had four vending machines. He rearranged them along both walls, then bought two more broken machines and upgraded them into standard vending machines—making three per side.

He still hadn’t decided where to place the mobile stalls, so he left them aside for now.

He spent 60,000 points to upgrade all six vending machines into Premium Vending Machines.

[Premium Vending Machine Features
– Can store 18 types of food, each with stack up to 299 units
– Items stay fresh 168 hours
– Each item includes a description window with full material and effect details
– Supports voice ordering, unlimited languages
– Offers self-service consultation and suggests items based on needs
– Upgrade cost: 100,000 points]

The functionality skyrocketed—worthy of being “premium”. Future upgrades would be even more interesting. Players wouldn’t need to guess effects anymore; they could simply read the description and pick the right food. No more endless hesitation.

It even provided consultation—perhaps if you input the dungeon type, it would recommend usable items?

Jiang Jitang currently had 6 premium vending machines. Capacity per day: 18 × 299 × 6 = 32,292 food portions

The premium unit was 1m wide, so there was no space left for the two dining chairs—he reclaimed them, along with the bookshelves and plant stands.

He bought two crude takeout lockers to place in the middle, then spent 2,000 points to upgrade them.

[Standard Takeout Locker:
Off-white metal
18 compartments
Each holds one takeout box with up to 3 items
Online reservation required
Pickup within 12 hours
Refreshes at midnight
Upgrade cost: 10,000 points]

After upgrading, each measured 1.6m wide. Two units placed front and back barely fit—so he didn’t upgrade further.

He bought two small welfare windows, placing them against the back wall. The arch-shaped opening could only pass one meal at a time—barely larger than a bank teller window.

Above each window was an LCD panel showing six compartments with sample meal names and remaining quantities.

Apparently, the welfare window could only offer six types of half-price meals, but that was sufficient.

He set the beneficiary group to: Active-duty soldiers, veterans, martyrs’ families, minors under 14, pregnant/postpartum women, and retirees.

He did want to add “family members of scientific researchers”, but they had no official ID. Others had enlistment cards, martyr certificates, student IDs… but research staff families had none.

Welfare meals could be set to half-price or free. Jiang Jitang set them to half-price. Not because of attention concerns alone, but because the real welfare was not needing to fight others for supply.

He still had enough points, so he changed the gray diatomite wall to eco-friendly cream-white paint, decorated the welfare windows with marble, styled into Roman-style column panels.

The skirting was also marble, matching the Roman structure.

The ceiling was renovated with a double-layer patterned plasterboard, recessed LED strips on the groove edges using reflective lighting—not harsh but bright enough. The central ceiling light remained (an expensive one).

The floor was changed to natural marble, topped with a thick Persian carpet.

These two items alone cost nearly 10,000 points, but the comfort level soared—indeed, you get what you pay for. Even idle games force you to pay up.

He reclaimed all miscellaneous décor and the small AC unit, replacing it with a concealed central air conditioner.

Between the two welfare windows, against the inner wall, he set a long solid wood bench for resting.

The wall displayed a Shop Notice: Operating hours: 06:00–21:00
No fighting, theft, threats, forced buying/selling, or queue cutting within shop premises.
Offenders will be blacklisted and reported to authorities.

The automatic sliding door upgraded once again—to bulletproof glass with “Welcome” voice service. The signboard was changed to a 3D design with floor-projection lighting.

Whether ordinary people could see it or not—it had to be there.

White wall lamps were mounted on both sides of the door. In front of the entrance, a metal frame held an LCD screen to showcase daily specialties. Comfort score increased again.

“Upgrade complete.”

Jiang Jitang held the model of his arranged mini shop in his palm, rotated it 360 degrees, nodded—it finally looked like a proper gourmet store.

He opened his newly delivered flagship domestic smartphone. Even though nobody was around, he flamboyantly used the “air projection” mode—light dots forming a floating virtual screen.

Handsome.

Holding this phone felt like Blue Star’s technology had stepped into a new era.

“Hello, Minister…”

The food shop has been upgraded!!!

Within five minutes of the expansion, the news spread through all organizations in Jin City. Players lurking nearby surged forward like zombies besieging a city—if not for officials stationed nearby maintaining order, the newly renovated shop might’ve been trampled into a warzone ruin.

“Wow, the vending machines are bigger—and more of them. Will we get more special-effect food now? There are mini LCD screens beside every slot—wonder what they do.”

“Takeout lockers! We can book in advance now!”

“Book my ass—you didn’t read the text next to the QR code: ‘For independent players only.’”

“Let me check the board… Operating hours extended—06:00 to 21:00. Huh? What are these two windows? They look like our school cafeteria windows.”

“There’s writing—‘Half-price Welfare Window, limited to active-duty soldiers, veterans…’”

“Move aside—hey, who just stepped on my shoe?!”

As Jiang Jitang’s insiders, the officials didn’t have to squeeze in. They had already received his message.

[There are currently six vending machines, each can store 18 types of products. My plan is to reserve one machine exclusively for our own team.]

[For the 3 star combo meals, each takes three slots. The braised pork bun restores stamina in 20 seconds—in a dungeon, time is life—so it takes two slots. For 2 star items, there are three that increase NPC favorability—one slot each. That leaves four slots—for the remaining three 2 star foods and one 1 star food.]

[If better foods appear later, we’ll adjust, eventually eliminating low-star items.]

Each of the six machines would follow this configuration—one machine exclusive to the official team, and the remaining five still provided over 20,000+ servings, enough for other player organizations.

However, Jiang Jitang emphasized that the supplies should still be allocated based on original ratios. Extra portions could be reserved or given to newly arrived player groups or those who narrowly missed qualifying.

They must not be handed to the same old organizations. Eating the meat was easy—but making them spit it back out later would be difficult.

Player organizations were handled like this—independent players had the takeout lockers and welfare windows.

Food supplied via vending machines, takeout lockers, and welfare windows would be managed separately.

Jiang Jitang scanned the QR code on the takeout locker. Sure enough, a “Dream-Fulfillment Food House” Takeout App appeared—but currently only accepted reservation pickup, no delivery. Everything inside was still empty—no inventory at the backend.

He asked the officials for a full list of registered player organizations (nationwide) and imported them directly. These people would not be allowed to use the app unless they declared themselves as independent players.

Based on current policy, player organizations received more benefits than lone players. Since organizations “ate the meat”, they had to leave some “soup” for the casual players.

Vending machines + Takeout lockers + Welfare windows.

He used paper to calculate how much raw material each food required, multiplied by seven days, and reported it to the ingredient supplier.

“Is this for a flowing banquet? Or some kind of charity event?” Supplier Uncle Wang asked in confusion—the quantity was enormous. He normally only dealt with small batches of high-end ingredients.

Frankly, joining the private supplier group of top chefs had taken favors. The hotel and banquet ingredients in Jin City were monopolized by several big suppliers.

Uncle Wang had only secured that small piece of the pie by scraping through the cracks. But now, he had a hunch—that piece of meat was about to grow fat and strong.

“It’s a seven-day supply. Please deliver to this address tomorrow morning,” Jiang Jitang said, sending him the kindergarten’s address. “Someone will inspect on-site—if everything is okay, payment will be made.”

Uncle Wang thought it over—this might be a long-term big deal. The client paid decisively and never delayed. Since it was viable, he agreed without hesitation.

“Wait.” Jiang Jitang patted his head. “Better double it. I’ll be traveling in a few days—what if something happens and I can’t return? I’d rather stock more.”

Supplier of scarce high-quality ingredients (already dizzy from the volume): “…”

“No problem, right?”

Clenching his jaw: “No problem.”
Time to call in the reinforcements.
