Chapter 17 Daily Discount: Obtain Bio-Suits (Minor Revision)
She leaned against Lei Yan, placing one hand lightly on his chest, and whispered, "Brother Yan, do you think what Ah Xuan said is true? Will natural disasters really keep happening for several years in a row...?"
Lei Yan replied in a low voice, "Ah Xuan must have acquired some amazing abilities to be able to conjure wild boars out of thin air. Perhaps a deity told him in advance? Even if not, we don't suffer any loss, do we?"
Lu Xuan said that the money from selling ginseng should be used to buy grain. Grain is a hard currency, and it is a good thing regardless of whether there is a natural disaster or not. They should keep it for themselves, or find a way to sell it if nothing happens, so they won't lose too much.
But if it's true, the supplies Lu Xuan prepared in advance will be a treasure that could save their whole family's lives.
He held Lu Qing's hand and comforted her, "No matter what, as long as our family is together, we are not afraid of any difficulties."
Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then gripped his hand back, her tone gradually becoming firm, "That's right, as long as we're together, we have nothing to fear."
Despite saying that, the couple couldn't help but have all sorts of thoughts on their minds, and it wasn't until late at night that they finally managed to fall asleep.
On the other side, Lu Xuan first coaxed Lu Chen, who had been clinging to him, to sleep before returning to his room.
With no outsiders around, the viewers in the live stream couldn't wait to urge him on.
[Host, quickly tally up how much supplies you found on this trip! I want to see!]
I joined halfway through and missed the earlier parts. I also want to see them!
Lu Xuan said, "What are you looking at? With so many prey brought out, how can my small room hold them all? Besides, the prey are covered in blood, and it's hard to clean the bloodstains."
【Hey—aren't we going to check the inventory?】
Lu Xuan said calmly, "If you want to know, I can just give you a brief explanation."
【Then tell me! Tell me quickly!】
[Waiting patiently.]
Lu Xuan didn't keep anyone in suspense and recounted his gains one by one in order.
Besides the common medicinal herbs, mushrooms, wild fruits and vegetables that were openly displayed to Lu Qing and the others, there were a total of twelve wild boars among the prey. Eight of them were encountered on the first day, and the other four were encountered and slaughtered later.
Twenty gray wolves, the same batch we encountered on the first day; we didn't encounter any more wolves after that.
One tiger and two deer were encountered on the way back. Both were valuable and could be sold for a lot of money.
There was also a black bear, which he encountered in a cave on the fourth night while searching for shelter, and he killed it as well.
However, the cave smelled too strong, so they didn't stay there and instead made do for the night in the branches of a large tree nearby.
As for the most valuable medicinal herbs harvested...
Including the ones shown to Lu Qing and Lei Yan, there was one ginseng that was 500 years old, one that was over 300 years old, and two that were just over 100 years old.
There were about half a basket each of Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum, totaling seventy or eighty plants.
Wow, so many!!!
[You wouldn't know how many we found until you counted them!]
How much profit could we make if we sold all this stuff?
[The streamer previously mentioned that a 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can sell for several hundred taels of silver, and those that are two or three hundred years old are even more expensive. With so many people participating, wouldn't they earn at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver?]
[That's a conservative estimate; I'd guess ten thousand taels!]
[How many Star Coins is that?]
[Ten thousand taels... that seems to be ten million star coins?]
[Holy crap! Is this for real?! Earning ten million star coins in five days?! Does the streamer print money?! This is outrageous!]
Lu Xuan said leisurely, "Who said we were going to sell them all? Selling just two or three of the ginseng roots would be enough."
Anything becomes less valuable when there's a lot of it. While ginseng and lingzhi might not depreciate too much, we still have to consider whether small towns can afford to consume so many aged medicinal herbs.
"Alright, we've finished counting everything. That's about it for today's live stream. Tomorrow we'll go to town to sell things and buy supplies. If you're interested, come back tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he didn't give the audience a chance to stop him and immediately ended the live stream, then opened the system backend.
After several days of building up his popularity, his live stream now has a completely different level of viewership compared to before he went into the mountains.
When the mutated vampire first appeared, the number of online viewers only increased to a little over 120,000. However, the news that plant-type ability users can contract with mutated plants to enhance their combat power is probably a big deal for the Star Alliance. In the past few days, the live stream has attracted many people who came to inquire about the news.
With the arrival of these new viewers, each with their own agenda, the number of viewers in the live stream quickly soared to over 500,000, and the number of fans reached over 150,000.
The total value of the gifts he received in the following days reached an astonishing 200,000 yuan, and he achieved two more new accomplishments in a row.
These are '100,000 followers' and '100,000 gifts', respectively.
The reward for reaching 100,000 followers is one million traffic voucher and 10,000 points;
The reward for the '100,000 gifts' is a basic energy stone gift pack.
The gift pack contains ten primary energy stones. The energy stones look somewhat like obsidian, black with a shimmering sheen. They are cubes, five centimeters in length, width, and height, small in size but quite heavy.
Like the energy liquid, there was no opportunity to use it for the time being. Lu Xuan held it in his hand and played with it for a while before putting it into his spatial ring.
His favorite reward is naturally the 10,000 points.
Data traffic coupons are also a good option.
The 10,000-person traffic coupon brought him a lot of traffic, and this time it directly became a million-person coupon. Even if we calculate it slightly, it can still increase the number of online viewers in his live stream by 100,000 to 200,000, right? Maybe it can push his online viewership to one million in one go, and then he can rake in another wave of achievement rewards.
Last time, 100,000 online users were rewarded with 10,000 points. Shouldn't 1 million online users be rewarded with 30,000 to 50,000 points?
It has to be said, the rewards from achievements are really great.
Star Alliance Atmosphere!
Lu Xuan exchanged all the gifts for points.
Including the points remaining after the expenses on the first day of his trip into the mountains, and the 20,000 points he received as achievement rewards afterward, his account now had an unprecedented total of 50,310 points!
At the same time, achieving two consecutive accomplishments unlocked more items in the store, including the larger space equipment that he was particularly interested in.
He originally thought he could unlock at most another 500 cubic meters of space, but unexpectedly, he also unlocked 1,000 cubic meters, priced at 30,000 points.
The two different volumes differ by a full half, but the 500 cubic meter one costs 20,000 points. Is it even necessary to ask which one is more cost-effective?
Lu Xuan clicked to buy the largest one without hesitation!
Before I could even warm up the points, more than half of them were gone in a flash.
Since he already had a ring on his index and middle fingers, he didn't buy another ring this time, but instead bought a black and gold bracelet.
The bracelet was made of some kind of metal, but it looked very high-quality. Like a ring, it could be adjusted to fit any wrist size. Lu Xuan put the bracelet on casually, checked the space inside, and nodded in satisfaction.
With the addition of the two rings, he now has 1,200 cubic meters of space, which should be enough to store supplies.
At that moment, another system notification popped up.
[Achieve the 'Spend 10,000 points' achievement to receive a basic bio-suit and unlock the daily discount item feature. Next achievement: Spend 100,000 points.]
Lu Xuan paused slightly.
Bioclothing?
He remembered that the audience seemed to have mentioned it before.
Lu Xuan clicked on the product description and took a look.
[Basic bio-suit: Made of a special bio-fabric, it can automatically regulate temperature, with a maximum adjustment range of twenty degrees Celsius.]
For example, when the outside temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius, you'll be sweating profusely even in short sleeves. But if you wear a bio-suit, you can adjust the temperature down by 20 degrees Celsius as needed. The 40 degrees Celsius temperature drops instantly to 20 degrees Celsius, and you can even wear a light jacket without any problem.
Similarly, with a bio-clothing suit, the temperature can be adjusted down to zero degrees Celsius even at minus twenty degrees Celsius; a thick coat will suffice.
According to the temperature displayed on the 'Weather Companion', the highest temperature in hot and extremely cold weather may exceed 50 degrees Celsius, and the lowest may reach minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius. The basic bio-suit is far from sufficient.
But compared to relying entirely on cotton-padded coats to get through the cold, having some is always better than having none, especially since it was given away for free.
The basic biosuit is not yet available for purchase, so getting a set before it's unlocked is definitely a win for him.
A moment later, he remembered the new feature the system had reminded him of. He looked around the store and saw the word 'limited time' in the upper left corner.
After clicking, a separate product page will pop up quickly.
There are two rows of products on the page, totaling ten items. Each product has its original price and discounted price listed below it.
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the description of the daily discounts.
The daily discounted items are all available in the store, regardless of whether they have been unlocked, and the discounts range from 50% to 90%.
Discounted items are refreshed daily at 8 PM. If the items you need are not found, you can spend points to manually refresh the page.
The first refresh requires 100 points, the second 200, then 400, and so on. There is no limit to the number of refreshes. After more than ten refreshes, each refresh will require a fixed 30,000 points.
He first glanced at today's discounted items, then looked at the remaining 300 points in his account, and without much hesitation, refreshed the page.
The product list has indeed changed.
He quickly memorized the prices of all the items and refreshed the page again.
The product has changed again.
After spending 3,100 points in five consecutive attempts, Lu Xuan had a general idea of the situation.
Simply put, most of the discounted items are high-end goods that he currently cannot afford.
Hovercrafts, flying machines, intelligent robots, mechs, spaceships... these were all items he had seen in the mall before, but he didn't know their prices.
Now, the prices are finally displayed, with the cheapest costing over a million points and the most expensive reaching hundreds of millions.
Of course, since we've mentioned the majority, there must be some who can afford it.
The first three items in each refreshed product list are always cheap, such as nutrient solutions, nutrient solutions, nutrient solutions, bio-clothing, and basic energy stones.
A single nutrient supplement costs only ten points. It's ridiculous to offer such a low price with a discount. Therefore, the items appearing in the discount section are mostly sets, such as gift boxes of 100 or 200 nutrient supplements.
The bio-clothes come as a single piece, while the energy stones are sold in a small gift pack of five.
These items have purchase quantity limits; a maximum of five items can be purchased.
As for pricing, nutritional supplements have the smallest discounts, all at 20% off, which may be related to the fact that there is already little profit margin at the original price.
The bio-clothing is 30% off; the original price was 1,000 points, and the discounted price is 700.
Energy stones are also 30% off; five energy stones originally cost 2,500, but after the discount, they cost 1,750.
Incidentally, the discounts on high-tech products that cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are also relatively small, mostly around 30% or 20% off.
Of course, whether it's discounted or not, it's a luxury item he can only look at for a short period of time.
Lu Xuan also considered that refreshing the page a few more times might bring out items that were cost-effective and affordable for him at the moment.
However, having already spent over three thousand on refreshing, which is a bit extravagant, I decided to give up after thinking about it.
Instead of trying to find bargains among cheap goods, it's better to find a way to earn a spaceship to play with as soon as possible.
He's driven plenty of sports cars, but he's never flown a spaceship before.
Given the current popularity of his live stream, earning tens of millions of points or even more is not an unattainable dream. With some effort, or without any effort, he should be able to buy a cheap spaceship to play with within three to five years at the latest.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan smiled with pleasure.
