Chapter 43: Group trading for bio-suits yields 200 times the profit! That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! ...
No, no, we've already spent nearly two hundred catties of grain. If we spend any more, the burden will be too heavy. I should go back and discuss it with my family first.
The old man was worried that Lu Xuan's exchange capacity was limited, so he specifically asked, "Young Xuan, how many of these spatial rings can you exchange with immortals? Is there a limit?"
Lu Xuan shook his head: "There are no restrictions. As long as there is enough food, there will be as much as you need. It is not limited to food trade. In the future, when everyone finds more resources in the mountains, they can also exchange other resources as appropriate."
He already had enough grain. The village was exchanging it for coarse grains, and everyone else in his family, except him, had gradually gotten used to eating refined grains. Exchanging too much coarse grain wouldn't be of much use, so it was better to exchange it for more meat or other resources.
Li Tie and Old Master Zhang were suddenly struck by a thought.
Bartering with supplies found in the mountains is a good idea.
Everything in the mountains is free; if we could exchange it for space, it would be such a great deal!
Bio-clothing can actually be exchanged in this way, since food is still too precious.
The two of them did not back out of their agreement and refuse to exchange the items because of Lu Xuan's words.
It's uncertain how easy it will be to obtain supplies in the mountains. What if there are a lot of wild animals in the deep mountains? Even if we collect enough supplies, it will take a long time. We can't just stand there in the sun all the time, can we?
It's better to change it sooner and enjoy it sooner.
After thanking Lu Xuan repeatedly, the two happily returned to the cave with the bio-cloak and spatial ring.
As soon as the person left, Lu Qing couldn't help but ask, "Ah Xuan, tell me honestly, how many resources did you have to offer to exchange these treasures with the gods?"
Lu Xuan saw through Lu Qing's thoughts and said with a smile, "It's hard to calculate the exact amount of resources, since I didn't exchange them for grain, but I definitely won't lose money; I'll make quite a profit."
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that we didn't lose money."
She didn't say anything about not being able to earn food from the village.
It's true that the village has taken good care of his family, but the village chief's family and the Zhang family have received the most help.
Ah Xuan has already given back a lot to these two families, and has no obligation to keep contributing to others.
It's a mutually agreeable arrangement. If someone thinks it's too expensive, they don't have to exchange it. But her Ah Xuan earned this treasure through his own hard work, so she can't let someone else trade it away at a loss.

As soon as Li Tie and Grandpa Zhang returned to the cave, they immediately noticed the extra ring on the village chief's finger and exclaimed in surprise.
"Village chief, you traded Lu Xuan for a god's mustard seed space!?"
"What? The village chief changed his spatial ring?"
"Let me see?"
The villagers who heard the commotion came running, each one eager to get a closer look at Li Tie's fingers.
"It really is the spatial ring that Lu Xuan took out; I absolutely cannot be mistaken!"
The village chief was secretly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face. He shouted with a stern face, "What are you all crowding for? Aren't you hot? Move back a bit! Move back! I exchanged for a spatial ring. Before, everyone was worried that the fresh vegetables and eggs wouldn't keep, but they were reluctant to eat them all at once. So I went to exchange for a spatial ring on behalf of the village."
From now on, if you have any items that you're worried about spoiling, you can come to me to register them, and I'll store them in my space. You can eat them whenever you want.
"How much grain did you exchange for it? It must have been very expensive."
Li Tie said, "Lu Xuan is a kind person. He gave us a special discount, only 600 catties of grain."
The villagers, who had privately imagined several thousand kilograms of grain, exclaimed in disbelief, "Only six hundred kilograms?!"
Based on the land's output, and considering the taxes paid, 600 jin is only the output of two mu of land.
But if you can use a spatial ring indefinitely, or even pass it down as a family heirloom, then it really is a bargain.
Someone noticed the two rings on the village chief's hand and exclaimed excitedly, "Village chief, you've changed two all of them?"
That's 1,200 catties of grain!
Li Tie modestly stated, "The other one was bought privately by my family. It's a small space, not as expensive as the larger ones, and only costs 200 jin of grain."
The villagers were astonished. Exchanging 200 jin for a space was indeed not expensive, but if you asked them if they would buy one themselves, very few would be willing to do so.
Someone remembered that Old Master Zhang had gone with the village chief and asked curiously, "Did Uncle Zhang also buy a space?"
Just as he was handing the bio-clothes to his family, Grandpa Zhang heard the commotion and shouted outside, "I didn't buy any, I bought bio-clothes. The kids at home can't stand the heat, and bio-clothes only cost a few dozen kilograms of grain. If you want them, you can go and exchange them with Xuan Xiaozi."
The villagers whispered among themselves, "Biosuit? Is it the one Lei Yan and the others wore, the kind of suit that makes you not afraid of the heat and doesn't even make you sweat?"
"Only a few dozen kilograms of grain? Really?"
“My child is young, and it would be very uncomfortable if he got heatstroke. If it only weighs a few dozen kilograms, I can change his clothes.”
Li Tie said, "Alright, alright, those who want to change into bio-suits can go find Lu Xuan themselves. But first, each family should hand over fifteen catties of grain to buy space. I need to deliver it as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid the gods will be unhappy with us and won't let Lu Xuan change our treasures."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent and hurried back to fetch the food.
Most people are reluctant to replace their spatial rings, but they might consider getting a bio-suit. When they go to collect food, they can discuss with their family about exchanging a few, so they don't arrive too late and there aren't any left to change into.
After the grain was delivered, the villagers watched as the village chief casually put several large bags of grain into his spatial storage, which elicited a great deal of amazement and envy from them.
They also noticed that the grain sacks that had been piled high and occupied a large area in the village chief's curtain room were gone, obviously all of which had been taken away by the village chief.
Other odds and ends that were not frequently used were also put away, making the originally cramped curtain room much more spacious.
The villagers exclaimed, "Space is such a wonderful thing!"
want to!
But I really can't bear to part with it QAQ!
·
Half an hour after seeing off the village chief and Old Master Zhang, Lu Xuan was greeted by the village chief who had returned to deliver grain, followed by a string of villagers who had come to buy bio-clothes.
Most of these people are familiar faces whose names even longtime fans in the live stream can recognize.
Wu Cheng, Ye the carpenter, Wei Xiang, Xiong Mao, and others...
There were quite a few unfamiliar faces as well, and together they came with more than a dozen people.
Before they could even ask about the biosuits, the people who came in were stunned by the uniquely designed sofas. After a flurry of activity as they tried to sit on them, they were reluctant to get up. After some playful banter, they finally got down to business.
The village chief was there solely to deliver food, while everyone else, without exception, wanted to buy bio-suits, mostly for their young children.
Only a few people buy adult-sized bio-suits, such as Wu Cheng, who is wealthy and has only a father and son. Carpenter Ye bought one for his adopted daughter and daughter-in-law, Ye Jing.
Ye Jing already had a poor appetite due to her pregnancy, and the hot weather made it even more unbearable. Whether it was out of concern for her daughter or for the sake of the next generation in her womb, the food for this bio-suit could not be skimped on.
In addition, Xiong Mao and Wei Xiang also bought enough bio-clothes according to the number of people in their family.
When talking about the quantity her family needed, Wei Xiang proudly said, "I originally only planned to buy them for my dad, Yunyun, and Afan. I've always been in good health, so I can manage even without them. But Afan couldn't bear to see me suffer, so he insisted that he wouldn't wear them if I didn't buy them, and that we should all wear them together. I just couldn't do anything with him, so I had to get one for myself too."
Lu Xuan: "...?"
[Pfft, is the streamer being bombarded with displays of affection?]
A huge bowl of dog food was unexpectedly shoved into the streamer's... and my mouth; it was a little choking.
[Tsk tsk, the stench of romance is palpable, you can almost smell it through the screen.]
[The single person roared in anger!]
Lu Xuan really didn't expect Wei Xiang to show affection to him without warning, but he was speechless for a moment and then didn't take it to heart. He calculated the amount of bio-clothes he needed and bought the corresponding amount from the store.
Incidentally, Zhang Chengming also came along this time to buy three more adult-sized bio-suits.
"Didn't my grandfather take the clothes out after he got back and let the kids and us try them on?"
Zhang Chengming said with great interest, "You know what, you really have to say! These clothes are really comfortable to wear! Once you put them on, you don't want to take them off."
Lu Qing and Lei Yan, who were standing nearby, nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Zhang Chengming sighed, "After I put it on, I even went outside for a walk. It really wasn't hot at all. The old man told me to wear it when I went out to explore this afternoon. But I thought, if I take the clothes with me, won't everyone else in the family have to tough it out this afternoon? Anyway, it's just a few dozen kilograms of grain, it's not like we can't afford it. I'll grit my teeth and change it. It'll be easier from now on."
Lu Xuan nodded. "That makes sense."
Whether he buys it sooner or later, he's definitely going to get his hands on the grain.
After the bio-clothes were replaced, it was time for people to buy spatial rings, which was where Lu Xuan made his main source of food.
There are far fewer buyers of this; only Xiong Mao and Wu Cheng's families bought the same 10-cubic-meter space as the village chief.
When Lu Xuan priced the items, he did intentionally set the price for the 5 cubic meter space at 20 kilograms more expensive, making the 10 cubic meter space seem more cost-effective and to make up for the losses on the bio-clothing. However, as a result, surprisingly none of the smallest spaces obtained from the blind boxes were exchanged.
Viewers in the live stream noticed this and couldn't help but gloat: "Haha, looks like the streamer's two 5-cubic-meter bottles are going to be unsold."
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "It's impossible for the goods to be unsold. There are more than forty households in the village, and there are always some who are reluctant to part with two hundred catties but still want space."
If all else fails, you can wait until you encounter other disaster victims and give them to other people.
When dealing with strangers, his space won't have the current discounted price.
Doubling it wouldn't be unreasonable, would it?
audience:? ? ?
[Double? Are you serious??]
[A 10-cubic-meter space ring already costs 200 jin of grain; doubling that would be 400 jin? Wow… you really dare to ask for that price.]
[The Star Alliance's space of the same size is only twice as expensive as the system store. Two thousand Star Coins can only buy two kilograms of natural grain at most. The streamer is making a hundred times the profit, not enough, but two hundred times! That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!]
