Chapter 76 Million Consumption

Lu Xuan poured Li Tie a bowl of canned chilled oranges and asked, "What does the village chief want to see me about?"

Li Tie ate two cold orange slices with great enjoyment, then said, "I'll come to you to exchange it for a larger space ring."

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Is it your home space or a public space?"

Li Tie waved his hand and said, "Of course it's the public space. My house has enough for now. Everyone's been stockpiling a lot of supplies these days. Meat and fruit are perishable, so everyone's asking me to help preserve them. It seems the 50 cubic meters are almost full. It just so happens that the public space has enough space to move to a larger one. Let's do it sooner rather than later to prevent the good stuff from spoiling."

Lu Xuan nodded in understanding. "So you want to get a 100 cubic meter one?"

Li Tie nodded, "Yes." He couldn't afford a bigger one.

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have a way to preserve those fresh supplies for a longer period of time."

Li Tie perked up, "What's the solution? How much can be saved?"

Lu Xuan: "Storing it for two or three years is no problem."

Li Tie immediately became excited, "Is it really that amazing?! Don't make fun of your uncle."

Lu Xuan took the things out directly from the space.

"Of course I'm not kidding. This is a new gadget I got from an immortal yesterday. It's called a vacuum packaging machine. It can extend the shelf life of fresh ingredients by placing them in a packaging bag and then extracting all the air from it."

As he spoke, he took a few fruits to demonstrate.

Li Tie looked over and over at the vacuum package in his hand that was completely airtight after the air was sucked out. Although he had never seen vacuum-packed food, since Lu Xuan said this method was okay, he would not doubt it.

He said excitedly, "Great! With this thing, everyone can store their supplies."

There is no food that can be kept for two or three years without being eaten. For them, this shelf life is basically the same as never going bad.

Lu Xuan: "Do you still want to change the space?"

Li Tie paused for a moment, then nodded firmly and said, "Change!"

If I don't change it today, I will have to change it in ten days or half a month when I have accumulated more supplies. The sooner I change it, the more at ease I will feel.

As for whether I need to buy a bigger one after this replacement...we'll talk about it later.

According to the previously agreed price, the group price for 100 cubic meters of space is 1,200 kilograms of grain.

There isn't that much food in the public supplies, but meat can be worth twice the price of food. Although the fruits that are produced are very sweet, they are not as valuable as food during the disaster period, so they are calculated as two-thirds of the food.

In the end, Li Tie paid a total of 200 kilograms of mutton, chicken, rabbit meat, etc. and 1,200 kilograms of fruit in exchange for a 100-cubic-meter ring.

After exchanging the rings, Li Tie immediately called over the remaining villagers. Holding the vacuum packaging machine in his hand, he excitedly said, "This is a magical treasure that Lu Xuan lent us. It can extend the shelf life of fresh food by two to three years! If anyone wants to use this treasure to package their own supplies, come and tell me."

The villagers were immediately in an uproar.

“Is there such a magical thing?”

"Can it really be kept for two or three years without going bad? Wouldn't that be much longer than bacon?"

"Can any food be put in it?"

Li Tie shouted, "Anything is fine! Vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, meat, anything you're worried will go bad can be put in there!"

After repeated confirmation, the villagers immediately couldn't wait to take back the supplies stored in the rings in the public space and began to line up to prepare for vacuum packing.

After all, everyone secretly prefers to keep their own supplies.

Although not putting things in the space will inevitably crowd the living environment, the space is occupied by supplies that can ensure that their families do not starve to death, and they don't mind it at all.

If you look at it twice every day, you will feel more energetic.

Originally, the villagers planned to dry most of the fruits they harvested yesterday, but with the vacuum packaging machine, many people changed their minds and only planned to dry one-third or one-quarter of them.

The fruits produced by magic are crisp, sweet and delicious. If you can eat them fresh, of course you should keep more fresh ones. If you don’t have enough dried fruits later, you can dry them now.

The purchase rights for vacuum compression packaging bags were unlocked a long time ago. After winning the machine yesterday, Lu Xuan directly bought 10,000 bags, which was enough for the villagers to use for packaging.

Lu Xuan did not ask for much in usage fees. In order to prevent the villagers from developing the habit of getting something for nothing, he charged a handling fee of one kilogram for every hundred kilograms of food.

The efficiency of vacuum compression is very high. In just a quarter of an hour, all the supplies for everyone were compressed.

The villagers were shocked to see the piles of vacuum-packed food in front of them.

"Wow, we actually managed to save so many supplies these few days?" someone murmured unconsciously.

Although the others didn't say anything, the shock on their faces was no less.

Before, they only thought about how much food they had spent on replacing biological clothes and security doors. The supplies stored in the space ring were collected bit by bit, so they only remembered the quantity but had never seen them all piled up together.

Now I see that there are really a lot!

Most families received over a hundred kilograms of fruit yesterday. Each vacuum bag can hold twenty kilograms of fruit, and each bag needs to be held with both hands.

Just these fruits piled together would make a huge pile, not to mention the meat that each family has saved, which is at least ten or twenty kilograms, and dozens of kilograms of bones.

People are quite frugal when eating meat. A vacuum bag only contains one pound of meat and one bone, and it can also hold more than twenty bags.

Add to that fish, mushrooms, eggs...the supplies for the large family were piled up into a small mountain.

This is just the harvest after less than ten days in the mountains. If they had stayed there for a few months, I can’t imagine how happy they would be with so much food left over!

The villagers were as happy as if it were New Year’s Day, and the whole square was filled with cheerful laughter.

While watching the fun, the audience did not forget to remind Lu Xuan.

[Host, do you still want to keep your million-dollar spending achievement? You've been thinking about it all day yesterday, and you still haven't decided what to buy?]

[That's right! We're still waiting to see you get your reward!]

Lu Xuan: "Don't rush me, I'll buy it right away."

Yesterday he really had no idea what to buy to complete the order, but the village chief coming to change the space reminded him.

As the village accumulates more and more supplies, Lu Xuan will get more, and he also needs to expand the storage space.

He has a lot of points, so he doesn't need to increase the capacity slowly like the village chief. He can convert all the small spaces into the largest 1,000 cubic meters at once.

Two 100 cubic space rings, replace them!

Exchange the 100 cubic earrings you got from the blind box!

Fifteen 100-cubic-meter space beads, all replaced!

There are a total of 19 large spaces, and 570,000 points were spent casually.

The previous accumulated consumption amount was more than 300,000 yuan, and after adding 570,000 yuan, there was still a shortfall of more than 60,000 yuan.

The villagers have a lot of supplies, and it is only a matter of time before everyone has a biological suit. Lu Xuan compared the number of people in the village who have not bought biological suits and bought more than 70 biological suits per person.

Almost as soon as I placed the order and put away the biological suit, the system message started flashing.

Lu Chen curled his lips and said, "Look, a million dollars of spending is enough."

As he spoke, he opened the system message.

[Achieve the 'Spend 1 Million Points' achievement and receive a box of Gene Enhancement Fluid and a 10% discount coupon. Next achievement: Spend 10 Million Points.]

"Genetic evolution liquid?" Lu Xuan saw this particularly eye-catching name at a glance.

[Gene Evolution Fluid: Can treat genetic diseases, enhance physical fitness, improve qualifications, and stimulate human potential. The specific effects vary from person to person.]

Looking at this short line of introduction, Lu Xuan's pupils shrank and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

The audience had been paying attention to his expression since he clicked on the system reminder, and they were immediately proud when they saw his expression change.

[Isn't it a surprise? It's unexpected! The Genetic Evolution Fluid is the most amazing scientific research product of the Star Alliance in the past hundred years. After taking the evolution fluid, ordinary people who haven't awakened their superpowers can also get a second chance and have a chance to awaken their superpowers.]

Even without awakening his powers, his bodily functions can be enhanced two or three times, comparable to low-level physical enhancement users! Just tell me if it's a good thing!

Lu Xuan tried hard to calm his rapidly accelerating heartbeat and said slowly, "This is really... a good thing."

Although he is no longer in the apocalypse and his need to increase his strength is no longer urgent, no one can resist being tempted by a treasure like the gene enhancement liquid, which is similar to the marrow cleansing pills commonly seen in novels about cultivation.

He also understood why there were only two rewards this time and no new features were unlocked.

Because the existence of genetic evolution fluid is enough to offset any reward.

What's more, it's not just one reward, but a box of three.

Discount coupons are actually good things.

If you buy something worth tens of millions, a 10% discount can save you millions.

Looking at it from another angle, couldn't this be considered as the Star Alliance directly giving him millions of star coins?

The emotions of the audience in the live broadcast room were also particularly high.

Every time a Dimensional Streamer achieves this, I can't help but feel jealous. This is a genetic evolution fluid that so many Star Alliance citizens can't get, and they're giving away three bottles at once! Why am I not a Dimensional Streamer? I hate it!

[I'm so jealous! I want to awaken a superpower too! Even if it's just a useless one, the salary I get when I apply for a job can be at least 50% higher than that of an ordinary person, or even double! But the production is so low, I can't buy it, I really can't buy it, wuwuwu!]

Lu Xuan asked, "Can the Evolution Liquid only be taken by ordinary people? What special effects does it have when used by people with special abilities?"

[The effect of enhancing physical strength is effective for everyone. Those with abilities below level 5 have a 50% chance of directly upgrading to the next level!]

Lu Xuan: "Above level five?"

[Leveling up is unlikely above level 5, but there is a certain chance that abilities will mutate, potentially gaining new abilities or making existing abilities even stronger.]

[Host, stop dawdling and drink now!]

[Yes, drink it quickly. If you don’t drink it now, I will crawl over along the screen and grab it and drink it myself.]

Lu Xuan: You say it as if you can really do it.

Lu Xuan was indeed a little excited at this time. On impulse, he took out a bottle of light golden evolution liquid and prepared to take it, but he suddenly stopped before opening it.

"Are there any side effects or reactions to taking the genetic evolution fluid? Can I get a direct boost in physical fitness after drinking it?"

[Ah, if the host hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. It seems that there is indeed a significant reaction after taking the evolution liquid.]

Reactions vary depending on individual constitution. Some people experience muscle pain that lasts from a few hours to a day, but it's not unbearable, similar to the symptoms of a severe cold. Others experience nausea and vomiting, which may take two or three days to fully subside.

[The best thing is to just fall into a deep sleep. After 1-3 days of sleep, when you wake up, your body will have been completely strengthened.]

Lu Xuan: “…” Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing earlier?

He put the evolution fluid back with an expressionless face.

[The host isn't drinking anymore? Don't you want to become stronger?]

Lu Xuan put the genetic evolution fluid into the space and said calmly: "I am quite strong now, there is no rush."

Muscle pain or nausea and vomiting are nothing, but falling asleep for two or three days without any warning would probably scare your relatives and friends to death.

Audience in the live broadcast room: But we are anxious!

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows: You are in a hurry for your own thing, what does it have to do with me?

Live broadcast room audience:!!!
