Chapter 155: Waterloo
The stalls of Yunqimu and others were still bustling with activity. Apples, strawberries, cucumbers and other fruits and vegetables had been sold out, including Danmu gummies and seasonings. Even the purified water they brought with them was sold in three large barrels at a high price.
All that was left on the stall were the linen clothes and the elegant orchids that were perfectly placed there.
White orchid is beautiful, but it is expensive and has no practical use. Although there are many rich people present, they are only the rich people on the Exile Star.
Survival supplies are the most scarce on the Exile Star. Who has the spare money to spend a fortune on orchids like those pretentious nobles outside? It would be better to buy a few more buckets of water with those energy coins.
I guess among all the people on Exile Star, only Mo Xie loves orchids so deeply, which cannot be eaten or played with, and must be carefully taken care of.
Yun Qimu and Wu Xingyu, who had been watching the stall for a long time, also realized that the sale of orchids this time might suffer a Waterloo. Perhaps none of the ten pots of orchids could be sold and all of them would be left in their hands.
Wu Xingyu frowned, and muttered with a heavy expression on her beautiful face, "It would be great if we could open a trade route to the outside world. Orchids of this variety would fetch a minimum of three million energy coins within the empire."
Yun Qimu also nodded in agreement, then looked at the crowd of people in front of him with a hint of worry in his eyes.
She originally thought that it would be easy to make money from the energy coins in these three cities, but after her observation just now, she found that the market here was not as huge as she had imagined, with a large flow of people, and there were not as many fat sheep as she had imagined.
The reason why apples and vegetables are so popular is that they are fresh enough and can fill the stomach and satisfy the appetite. This rare delicacy is so delicious that even those who don’t have much money at home will grit their teeth and buy one to satisfy their cravings, and then die with peace of mind.
But can a sheep that has been plucked of all its wool be plucked a second time in a short period of time?
The answer is naturally no.
Especially when she saw Longteng, one of the three giant forces in this chaotic city, wow, those guys bought the apples one by one, plant by plant, and the stingier ones even asked her if they could break the apples into pieces and buy them separately.
The big guy, Manniu, reached into his pocket. He was even poorer than Zhong Qiu. After a lot of scraping together, he finally took out 2,500 energy coins. He couldn't even afford an apple at wholesale price, so he could only buy a few strawberries.
However, he thought the strawberries were too small. After he ate four of them one at a time, his 2,500 energy coins were gone, so he chose Danmu gummies based on Hu Yi's suggestion.
There are 100 pieces of Danmu gummies per box, 600 energy coins per box, and the wholesale price is 500. Ten boxes are counted as wholesale.
It can be said that this is the most cost-effective delicacy on the cloth stall. There is so much sugar in it that everyone in Longteng can get a piece of sugar to satisfy their sweet taste.
Manniu's 2,500 energy coins can buy five boxes of Danmu gummies. Hu Yi also collected 2,500 energy coins to buy five boxes, a total of ten boxes of Danmu gummies, so he can buy them at the wholesale price.
Long Teng's other friends followed suit and started buying Danmu gummies.
Wu Xingyu felt a toothache just looking at this stingy and poor attitude.
It was said to be one of the three major forces, why is it so stingy than other small and medium-sized forces!
well!
Yunqimu also sighed when he saw this.
[Ding Dong—Quest issued, host, please find the incomplete artifact Kunlun Mirror.]
Just when I was holding my chin with my hands and worrying about the difficulties in doing business, the system sound suddenly rang in my ears.
She was slightly startled and asked suspiciously, "Master Brain, we are outside now. Where can we find the Kunlun Mirror?"
[I just sensed the presence of the Kunlun Mirror. It's in this chaotic city.]
Yun Qimu's face was filled with surprise, and his eyes rolled. "So, this Exile Star used to have a close relationship with the game. Does that mean you can't start the game if I don't come to Exile Star?"
Oh my god, it’s exposed!
The main brain retracted its tiny feet and changed the subject, discussing the plot. "The Kunlun Mirror is a divine mirror originally owned by the Queen Mother of the West. Engraved with the Taiyi Mysterious Mark, it possesses the power to bridge the gaps between heaven and man, bridging the gaps between time and space. However, during a Peach Festival celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday, the mirror was stolen and its whereabouts remain unknown. If the host can help find the Kunlun Mirror, the Global Village will open a passage to the outside world as a reward."
Yun Qimu's eyes suddenly lit up, "It leads to the outside world, is it the outside world of Exile Star?"
[yes.]
Very good!
The game is so thoughtful. I was given a pillow as soon as I felt sleepy.
The future of trade routes within the Exile Star is not good, but the future of trade routes outside is definitely promising!
"Okay, I'll take this mission." Yun Qimu agreed decisively. "Do you have any clues about the Kunlun Mirror? For example, a direction arrow to lead me there directly, or someone to show me the way?"
[You're just kidding! This game is designed for players to fully experience the game. How could there be such a shortcut?]
That means there is nothing left.
Oh! Chaos City is so big, how can she find it?
Yun Qimu sighed, feeling quite regretful.
"Why is Village Chief Yun sighing?"
Pei Yu, standing next to her, watched another person leave who had asked about the price of linen clothes but shook her head and left because she was short of money. She glanced at her warily.
His excitement subsided a little, and he nudged Yuan An, who was frowning and looking unhappy, with his elbow and asked.
Seeing that the little fat boy ignored him and moved his stool away in disgust, Pei Yu was in a good mood and didn't bother with him.
Then he moved his small stool and continued to move closer, "Hey, little fatty, you don't look like you're in a good mood. What are you worried about? Tell me and call your Uncle Pei, and I'll be happy."
Yuan An rolled his eyes at him again, "Don't you see that?"
Pei Yu blinked, "What did you see?"
"Business is not going well, and the future of the caravan is not going to be good."
Pei Yu's eyes widened. "What? Our fruits and vegetables are selling so well, how can their future be bad? The profits from those we just sold, not counting costs, are probably over a billion. That's much more than we make from killing monsters in Global Village. I've never seen so many energy coins before."
Yuan An looked at him like he was an idiot, "You don't understand."
Pei Yu was furious. "What do I not understand? Fatty, if you dare look down on me again, I'll pry your eyelids open."
Yunhe also looked at him with a confused look, "Yes, Uncle Pei is right. Although this time is not as good as our business outside, it is not bad either."
Yuan An looked at him with the same caring eyes, "You don't understand either."
Yunhe: "Who would understand?"
"Village Chief Yun and our third brother understand. Look, they don't look happy either."
Pei Yu glanced in their direction and curled his lips, "It's strange to see a happy look on this little brat's face when he has such a dull expression all day long."
