Chapter 141: Making a Killing
Cheng Shuili: "……"
Forget it, she could still afford to joke.
After announcing that only 25 coins were needed, orders came one after another, and the system private message reminder sound never stopped, noisy enough that Cheng Shuili turned it off again.
She set up a special concern reminder for the small group to avoid missing any important information.
After handling these miscellaneous tasks, she sat down in front of the workbench.
Cheng Shuili lifted her head and looked at the cockpit.
Su Rui is truly reliable—not only does she drive the vehicle steadily, she also never misses a treasure chest. Besides being reassuring to use, she consumes few supplies, lasting a whole day on just one bottle of mineral water; she is truly a top-notch beast of burden.
Cheng Shuili shook her head and began processing the received orders.
The workbench requires no operation from Cheng Shuili; once it automatically produces the items, she just needs to cling to the private chat page and deliver them one by one.
For each Primary Condensed Water Device she puts out, she can reap 25 game coins.
This is life! This is making money!
Before, she still felt bored, but now, as she processes orders for people, time passes without her noticing.
In between, she hastily ate dinner, kept working until ten o'clock at night, Cheng Shuili really couldn't hold on any longer, and posted another announcement in the area channel.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I'll finish processing up to here today, continue tomorrow; those unwilling to wait can deduct 1, and I will reject the order.
"Boss, have you been busy all the way until now?"
"I'm really feeling a bit envious. One person gets 25 game coins, four people make a hundred, forty people make a thousand, four hundred people make ten thousand. Damn, I dare not calculate it—I really dare not calculate it!"
"I estimate that at least a thousand people would have the boss process for them? At minimum, that would be twenty-five thousand game coins?"
"You guys are too idealistic—how could production not take any time? I estimate making one would take quite a bit of time; if it were fast, the boss surely wouldn't have left it until now."
"There must be at least a hundred orders, guaranteeing a minimum income of 2500 game coins! 2500 game coins! Who understands?!"
"It's not even yours—what are you chattering about here?"
……
"So many, really so many—I feel like I'll never see this many game coins in my lifetime."
Cheng Shuili didn't look at what was being said in the area channel; she was already so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.
Every day she had to wake up early, so she could only go to sleep early; half a month passed, her biological clock had been adjusted, and now she gets sleepy at the right time.
The car was very quiet; Su Rui's breathing was so faint it was almost inaudible, and Cheng Shuili couldn't tell whether she had fallen asleep.
Cheng Shuili forced herself to wash up, after wiping her face clean she flopped onto the soft big bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
The next morning, as soon as she woke up, the private chat still showed 99+, and when she opened it she saw a string of red dots.
She scrolled through a few of them; very few people wanted to cancel the transaction. Many had not paid attention to the area channel during the day and didn't know that Wu Ya's place could process Primary Condensed Water Devices; they only found out when they saw Wu Ya's message while surfing at night, and immediately sent over the transaction.
As a result, after a night passed, Cheng Shuili's orders hadn't decreased—they had actually increased.
Cheng Shuili didn't know what expression to make; she had a dazed feeling as if she had won five million in the lottery, her whole body seeming to tread on clouds in a dream, both bewildered and blissful.
Although the game coins aren't that many yet, it's foreseeable that this is definitely a huge sum!
At least for this disaster and the next, Cheng Shuili no longer needs to worry about game coins; now, refreshing the trading post or the Beastman Town once, she can buy supplies as she pleases!
Su Rui stared at Cheng Shuili for a while, confirmed that this person wouldn't be able to attend to her for the moment, then herself opened the fridge and took out a bottle of mineral water.
She closed the fridge door, glanced at Cheng Shuili still dazed nearby, then silently opened the door to the cockpit and went inside.
She sipped it little by little while waiting for eight o'clock.
Her so-called "master" truly lives up to being number one—whose vehicle could endure advancing nonstop for twelve hours straight during the day?
Cheng Shuili's vehicle not only can keep moving forward, but its battery level hasn't dropped at all.
Su Rui guessed that this vehicle must have been modified, probably equipped with solar panels or the like; she merely wondered why there wasn't any visible sign of it on the exterior.
This bit of curiosity wasn't enough to prompt her to ask; besides…
Su Rui glanced at Cheng Shuili inside the cabin through the rearview mirror; this person shook her head, looking as if just waking from a dream.
Cheng Shuili had indeed just been immersed in her own world; after fantasizing about her future life, she became somewhat eager to reach Beastman Town.
But before that, she first needed to settle today's orders.
Cheng Shuili didn't expect that this round of contract processing would last a full three days! Only on the last day of the extreme heat did she finish the final order.
Over the three days, she worked ten hours each day, producing a total of 2135 Primary Condensed Water Devices!
Total income..... exactly game coins.
Adding the high-priced bread from these two days, although the price was higher, selling it was no different from before—each time it went on sale it was snapped up immediately.
On the fourth day of the extreme heat, Cheng Shuili earned exactly 3960 game coins! Adding what she earned on the third day of the extreme heat, the profit reached 4797, far exceeding the 1000 needed to unlock the honey small round bun!
After successfully unlocking it, the cooperation panel became like this:
【Current Goods for Sale】
Toast: cost 6 game coins, sale floor price 7 game coins, no upper limit.
Honey Small Round Bun: cost 10 game coins, sale floor price 11 game coins, no upper limit!】
【Current Inventory: Ordinary Bread x0, Toast x0】
【Current total profit 4797 game coins, after profiting in game coins unlock new product: Amazing European Bun!】
【Trial operation successful! Starting tomorrow, you can freely choose the purchase quantity, with a maximum of 200 portions per day! Please allocate reasonably!】
Cheng Shuili had originally been complaining about this system's design—how could it jump from unlocking at one thousand game coins directly to one million? The long blank period in between is completely meaningless.
After seeing clearly what was unlocked, Cheng Shuili: "???"
She's supposed to sell something worth three thousand game coins?
She's selling something worth three thousand Game Coin?
Never mind what this thing does; just talking about the price—can anyone afford to buy it?
Never mind what it does—just look at the price; who can afford it?
However, this is not something Cheng Shuili needs to consider now; the time needed to accumulate profits to one million is not short at all—even if she earns 4000 Game Coins every day, she would still need 250 days.
This is still the ideal situation, not considering that later any other beastmen might achieve cooperation, mutually competing and driving prices down.
Besides... if that time really comes, will anyone really still be alive?
Cheng Shuili allocated the purchase quantities for each type of bread; the honey small round bun is a new product, so of course she needs to stock a bit more.
Finally, she took in 50 ordinary loaves of bread, 50 bags of toast, and 100 honey small round buns.
