Chapter 010 Food Store: Snack Shop 6
Lin Muqiu smiled gently, but his methods were swift and decisive:
The moment the skill [Ice and Fire Confinement] was released, flames accompanied by a hurricane swept towards the archer. He screamed in fear and trembled all over. When he was extremely desperate, he found that Lin Muqiu seemed to have encountered an unexpected situation and actually stopped.
Lin Muqiu saw a familiar spot of light surrounding the ring.
The system's voice reached her mind:
[Data error! Contacting the main system, please wait patiently! ]
[The Infinite Space Ring should not be used to store living things. This will destroy the overall balance of the world. Sorry, *#%***#]
Lin Muqiu: "..."
It's clear the system is messed up.
In just a moment, the ring suddenly spit out the frozen swordsman.
The main system also appeared in time, [Hello host! Thank you for discovering the bug, the system has been corrected! ]
Lin Muqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Not very good."
She chose to strike first. "That's unfair. Normally, bugs can be fixed. If a system upgrade affects the player experience, there should be some compensation."
Main system: “…”
Why is there this familiar feeling coming over me?
Memories of past betrayals flooded back, and the main system could only suppress its fear and ask, "Host, if you have any opinions, please speak up."
Lin Muqiu raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Why don't we decide from the beginning what can be placed in this ring and whether there are any restrictions. That way it will be better for both of us. You won't blame me for bugs later, and I won't affect your balance. How about that?"
The system fell into deep thought.
Lin Muqiu has a point.
Otherwise, according to the principle of infinite space in the ring, if she threw everyone around or a village into the infinite space on a whim, or secretly robbed other people's property and put it in, wouldn't it affect the balance too much?
After a moment, the system gave a perfect answer: [Objects you have collected or purchased that have a certain amount of space and can be clearly calculated can be placed in the ring. What do you think?]
Lin Muqiu nodded, "I agree."
As soon as the words fell, the system fled away.
Before leaving, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to this time.
But it didn't notice at all when it fled in a hurry that the corner of Lin Muqiu's mouth was slightly raised.
In fact, she mentioned it on purpose just now, so that she could openly exploit the bug in the future.
Summer natural disasters are characterized by water shortages and droughts, with water resources being hard to come by, while winter is characterized by avalanches and glacier breaks.
In the magical world, the glaciers are pure and bright, equivalent to pure water. Every spring when all things come back to life and thaw, the glaciers flow into the rivers, which is such a pity.
If I could collect it in a ring, I wouldn't have to worry about water in the summer.
Who says you can't collect and buy ice?! Can't you just grind it into calculable squares?! After all, the ring has unlimited space and a shelf life!
She can also buy them from town residents at low prices and then sell them in the summer to make a profit!
She has always been happy to do things that benefit others and herself.
There was a hint of a smile on Lin Muqiu's lips.
Hearing the clanging sounds nearby, she turned her head and saw the swordsman and archer who were trying to break the ice and escape.
They stared at each other, feeling a little awkward.
I almost forgot about this.

"Lord Kedero, the recordings of the witnesses and evidence are here. Have you reviewed them?"
Facing Lin Muqiu's questioning, Kedeluo nodded.
Compared to the shock he felt at the beginning when Lin Muqiu teleported to his lord's mansion and threw two tied-up people and an ice stone engraved with a recording, he is now much calmer.
After listening to Bingshili's recording for the first time, he was furious.
He never imagined that Bob could do such a thing as killing people to silence them and trying to get other people's formulas!
How could he tolerate the termites breeding in the dark corners of the town, gnawing at the flesh and blood he had built with years of hard work, and harming his people!
Thinking of this, Kedero's voice turned colder. "Don't worry, I will definitely give you and the townspeople justice. According to the laws of the town, Bob should be put to death."
Lin Muqiu smiled and shook his head. "But not now. Bob still has so many accomplices, like that Andrew. If we don't catch them one by one and drive them out of the town, I'm afraid the town will never be peaceful."
Kedero's eyes flashed, "What do you mean?"
Lin Muqiu took the ice stone and played with it carefully. "I'm going to recruit new employees soon. If Bob or others want to steal my formula, I will definitely take action."
Kedro immediately understood, "Are you going to take advantage of my strategy and lure me into a trap?"
Lin Muqiu nodded, "Yes, Lord, you are indeed smart. Now that you know, I will go ahead."
She was about to leave when Kedero grabbed her and asked, "Why are you so nice to the town?"
This is what Lord Kedero has always wanted to ask.
First, she entered the town as an ice mage, then she rectified the food safety issues in the town, and now she is helping to eliminate the unscrupulous businesses around. However, these things may not be entirely beneficial to her.
For example, if something goes wrong, what if the formula is really stolen?
Faced with doubts, Lin Muqiu just smiled and said, "I understand the mayor's concerns. How about I tell you a story?"
Kedero loosened his grip on her hand and said, "Okay."
Lin Muqiu raised his eyes and smiled, "There was once a child whose family was very poor. When he was in elementary school, he could only eat steamed buns and cold water in the middle of winter. Occasionally, he could buy an egg-filled pancake to eat, which was considered a delicacy.
In fact, this is not bad, but unfortunately her stomach has always been in trouble due to irregular diet. Moreover, the street vendors are not so clean, so she always suffers from stomach pain and diarrhea.
At that time, she secretly vowed that if she were a businessman, she would make money cleanly and earn the money she deserved.
And, if you are able, help others.”
Kedero's hand suddenly loosened and trembled slightly.
He understands this feeling.
For years, he had suffered from poor stomach due to his poor family when he was young. When he was stepped on by others, he swore that if he had the ability in the future, he would make sure that everyone could eat hot bread and not have to worry about their livelihood.
With his youthful ideals flooding his mind, how could his heart not be in turmoil?
When he looked at Lin Muqiu, his eyes were slightly red and he couldn't help but hold back some tears.
Lin Muqiu patted his shoulder comfortingly. "Of course, Lord, if you really feel bad, you could give me some good farmland as compensation. Or, how about all the land I reclaim from now on become my personal property, tax-free? I need to grow potatoes and other raw materials for my shop."
Kedero: “…”
I shouldn't be moved.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "Okay, you've done a great job catching the thief. I'll reward you once this is completely over. It will also serve as a benchmark for everyone else."
Seeing that the matter was accomplished, Lin Muqiu smiled and said, "Okay, see you later!"
In fact, she had already guessed that Lord Kedro would have doubts. Instead of answering the question proactively, it would be better to wait for him to ask. This way, what she said would be more credible. If she was lucky, she could use empathy to gain some preferential treatment.
Killing two birds with one stone, she has always been good at predicting.
Looking at her back as she left, Kedelu guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
This guy is smart and sophisticated but knows his limits, greedy but not annoying, and can often predict what others are thinking. He is quite capable.
I just don't know if what she said is true or not...
"Lord Kedero, the past is gone with the wind. Why dwell on it so much?"
While he was lost in thought, Lin Muqiu stopped and said, "Mayor, have you heard this before? The summer breeze can surely blow away a lot of unhappiness."
Kedero was stunned, then laughed.
The breeze is blowing gently, and everything is indeed thriving.

Medea is the lord who comes at night.
She hurried on. "My Lord, the new pharmacist who settled in town reported to me that Bob..."
Kedero was packing up and preparing to go out. "I know that Bob has always behaved badly. Lin Muqiu has collected witnesses for me."
Medea: "Where are they?! Please invite them in!"
Kedero pointed at the two people tied up on the ground.
Medea: "...Lord, your understanding of witnesses is becoming more and more like Lin Muqiu."
Witnesses actually mean tying people up and using them as evidence?!
Without saying a word, Kedero threw a piece of ice to Medea. Medea caught it steadily. After understanding everything, her expression became surprised.
She forgot about the previous incident and just kept praising him, "Lin Muqiu really has the spirit of a hero! Great! Truly great!"
Kede Luo was in a good mood, "Yeah, look at that ice stone again."
Medea was stunned and looked carefully.
The ice stone has a slightly soft texture, a slightly darker color, is smooth and clean, and is very attractive. It is crystal clear under the moonlight, just like a gem blooming with brilliance, without any bubbles at all.
She was still confused, "What's wrong?"
Kedro smiled slightly. "The higher the salt content of ice, the softer its texture. She clearly just found some water. But the sound recorded by the ice stone she cast a spell on is so clear. Magic is truly limitless."
Medea's heart also moved.
Yes, and Lin Muqiu also defeated the swordsmen and archers who were over level 30!
How amazing is this!
She praised him profusely, "Mayor, the townspeople are so lucky! They actually have a wizard of such excellent character and extraordinary abilities!"
The mayor smiled slightly, "It is indeed a blessing."
After saying that, he raised his foot to leave.
Medea was a little confused. "Mayor, where are you going so late at night?"
Kede Luo's expression remained unchanged. "Oh, I also want to try the potato chips she made. They are really delicious."
He was worried about it for several days.
Medea: “…”
It turns out that the mayor was talking about a good meal.

When Lin Muqiu returned to the store, she found that it was closed, but Mario was still there, saying that he must thank her in person.
Lin Muqiu gave him some money and potato chips and potato towers, "It's okay, we'll need to help each other more in the future."
Mario initially refused several times, but seeing that he couldn't resist anymore, he accepted it.
After he left, Lin Muqiu closed the door and started making ice jelly.
Use fire magic to quickly dry the seeds of the false nightshade, then put them into cold boiled water and rub them finely, then let them cool, cut them into small pieces, put them into a bamboo tube, and add some watermelon juice, and a cup of refreshing jelly is ready.
Lin Muqiu scooped a spoonful and stuffed it directly into Yun Yi's mouth, "You've worked hard recently, try it first."
Yun Yi was already staring at it eagerly, and as soon as the master handed him the spoon, he quickly swallowed it in one gulp.
The cool and smooth texture and the sweet watermelon flavor swept away the summer heat at this moment, and he was so happy!
A series of words came out of his mouth as if they were burning, "It smells so good, so good, so good..."
