Chapter 15 The Inevitable Path to Becoming a Shady Merchant

Liu Fenfang (Ping): "Go to hell, Chen Yu, I spit on you! The kindling you gave me was a cigarette butt, and I put it out as soon as I got it."

Chen Yu (Ping): "Auntie, what you're saying is a bit much. When I gave it to you, it was a genuine fire seed. Otherwise, the system wouldn't recognize it, and the transaction wouldn't be possible."

Jiang Kaiqiang : "Torch can be exchanged for any food."

Xu Yuanyuan (Ping): "That's outrageous! They even wanted to trade fire for food and gasoline. We already have enough manpower!"

Shu Linghuan (Ping): "Luckily, I managed to get some fire during the day using a magnifying glass, otherwise I would have been ripped off by you old smokers. Everyone come to me for free fire starters, girls only!"

Jiang Kaiqiang (Ji): "That's going too far, girl. Creating gender antagonism in a game?"

Ai Guangchen's "Xiao Ji": "Body male, mind female, can we switch?"

Chen Yu (Ping): "Temperature for food and gasoline, quantity negotiable, guaranteed discount."

There are so many long-time smokers. Xi Xi shook her head and took a sip of soup. She had never quite understood why so many people could be so addicted to something so harmful to their health.

She had long considered selling tinder, but considering that regular smokers would definitely carry a lighter with them, she felt that the business opportunity was weak and short-lived. Moreover, tinder is something that is easy to spread and replicate.

However, Xi Xi was genuinely curious about who was the first to start selling fire starters. She swallowed her fragrant soup noodles and scrolled up through her chat history—

Rong Shuangxi (Xiao Ji): "Damn it, I was just sitting on the sand dune enjoying the cool air when a scorpion suddenly appeared. I dropped my cup and ran away, but now I'm too scared to go back. What should I do?"

Liu Fenfang (Ping): "Oh dear, I just opened the car door to let the wind in, I won't dare to do that now."

Li Xuping: "Are scorpions poisonous?"

Li Jinshao : "They are usually poisonous, with the venom mainly concentrated in the tail. There are many species of scorpions in the desert, so be careful not to get stung."

Li Jinshao's "Great Fortune": "It is recommended that everyone light a bonfire, which can not only provide warmth and cook food, but also drive away poisonous insects and wild animals to some extent."

Liu Fenfang (Ping): "What do you do if you don't have matches? How do you start a fire?"

Rong Shuangxi (Xiao Ji): "Understood, I'll go and make fire right away."

Cheng Xu (Auspicious): "Honest transactions, tinder for gasoline, those who need tinder, come."

Chen Yu (Ping): "Temperature for food and gasoline, quantities to be discussed privately."
