Chapter 339: Potion
Manbao fell asleep hugging the quilt in a daze, unaware that there was someone light years away waiting for her to surrender.
But he waited and waited but never received an email from her offering to lower the price.
Buyer: ...
When Manbao woke up the next day, she habitually checked her wallet and points, then glanced at her mailbox and found that Dr. D still hadn't replied to her message, and no one responded to the sales information she posted on the forum.
Manbao sighed and had to go out to school first.
She thought to herself that if no one really wanted to buy tree sparrows, even though that man was trying to lower the price and was rude, she could still sell it to him and buy her mother's medicine first.
Manbao had just finished washing up and was going to the courtyard to find something to eat when he heard a cough coming from the main room.
Manbao looked over and saw Xiao Qian pulling her into the kitchen, saying, "Hurry up and eat breakfast and go to class."
"Mom is coughing."
"The weather has changed. Not only mother, but your second sister-in-law is also feeling unwell. Your eldest brother will go to the market soon to change their medicine. It's more important for you to go to school. You don't have to worry about these things."
Qian was in poor health and was most likely to get sick during the change of seasons, especially in autumn and winter. The Zhou family had gotten used to it.
Manbao lowered his head to eat eggs and began to plan. If the two birds at noon could not be sold, he would take the initiative to contact the impolite United Nations Research Institute and sell them for at least 220,000 so that he could buy medicine.
Manbao thought it was enough, so he quickened his pace and put down his bowl and chopsticks as soon as he finished eating and went to carry his school box.
Little Qian couldn't help but peek outside. Zhou Xi was chopping vegetables for the chickens. Seeing this, she looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I always feel that Manbao is acting weird today."
"Because mom is sick."
"Maybe." Little Qian retracted her gaze and said to Zhou Xi, "Just chop this little bit. Drive the chickens to the back hill later. There are lots of grass seeds and insects there. Leave some for evening feed."
Manbao had already made a concession in his heart and would only have time to work seriously after school at noon. However, someone many light years away still did not receive any news after waiting for a whole night and a whole morning.
He looked at the post on the forum again and found that it had sunk to the bottom, but its owner did not republish it and seemed not to care about its life or death.
The purchasing agent of the UN Institute had to admit that he had made a mistake.
After much hesitation, he finally sent the other party an email saying, "Three hundred thousand is too much. How about we both make a compromise and offer two hundred and fifty thousand?"
Manbao put away the book, walked out of the classroom with a calm face, and went to the kitchen to get his own bowl.
Xiao Qian took the time to look at her and confirmed once again that, yes, Manbao was acting very strangely today.
Manbao said hello to Xiao Qianshi with a serious face and took her bowl and left. She deliberately went to the back of the school and found a secluded place to sit down. While eating, she discussed with Keke in her mind, "Do you think I should insist on the price of 300,000, or just accept it?"
"What does the host think?"
Manbao bit his chopsticks and thought to himself, "If he doesn't agree and doesn't buy it, then I won't be able to buy medicine for my mother today."
After a long silence, Keke said, "Since he has already given the reserve price, why don't you give it a try first? If it doesn't work, you can bend and stretch."
Manbao blinked and asked, "What does it mean to be able to bend and stretch?"
"Be able to endure in times of frustration, and be able to realize your ambitions in times of success," Koko said, "The host's humiliation is to endure the humiliation that comes with taking a step back."
"Isn't this just about being thick-skinned?" Manbao said very insightfully.
Koko said nothing more.
Manbao chewed his chopsticks and thought for a moment, then tentatively replied, "Two hundred and fifty thousand is too little. These are two tree sparrows, not just one."
The other party immediately replied: "Our funds are limited. 250,000 is really our limit."
Manbao angrily replied, "Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
The other party remained silent and did not respond.
Manbao waited nervously. Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately sent another email. "A few days ago, I sold them to someone for 200,000 yuan each. Now you only got two for 280,000 yuan. Isn't that a big profit?"
"Have you sold them to anyone? Didn't you say on your forum that there were only two? Who bought them from you?"
When Manbao saw the message that was replied immediately, he finally had some idea. Yes, that's right. The people over there seemed to be very concerned about her selling the same target object to other people.
She had felt that they cared about this when she was selling cabbage worms before.
Manbao happily replied, "Because that's my old customer. She was the one who asked to buy tree sparrows. I caught two extra ones, so I put them up for sale on the forum."
The people at the UN Institute didn't expect that someone was one step ahead of them. You know, in research, even being a moment behind, let alone two days behind, can make a huge difference.
If the other party publishes a paper on the research results they have come up with at the same time, the results will belong to the other party.
So time is important!
He no longer hesitated and replied directly: "Okay, 280,000 yuan deal, I'll place the order right away, you send the goods to me."
Manbao waved his little fist happily and asked Koko to send the two birds in the system to the other party, and then looked at the total points in the system eagerly.
With a ding-bell sound, the total score slid slightly, slowly increasing from 780,000 to 1,037,800.
Manbao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Keke, is this number wrong?"
"That's right, host, have you forgotten that I also get labor fees."
"Oh." Manbao then remembered that in addition to transactions in the mall, transactions with the encyclopedia and forum also required commissions for Keke.
But Manbao was still very happy. She immediately opened the mall and went straight to the shopping cart to look at the tube of green medicine. Her little finger trembled for a moment, but she still clicked it firmly.
The little finger tapped twice in succession, and the number where the points were displayed instantly changed to 32001 with a "whoosh", and then a tube of dark green medicine appeared in the system.
During the afternoon class, Manbao felt like he had been pricked by needles under his butt.
Mr. Zhuang glanced at his fidgeting disciple, reached out from under the desk, took out his teaching stick, and took a step forward.
Koko couldn't help but remind him, "Host..."
Manbao looked up and met Mr. Zhuang's warning gaze. She immediately sat down and dared not move. She felt very regretful. She had bargained for too long at noon, so she had no time to go home after buying the medicine.
Manbao struggled to get through school, and as soon as Mr. Zhuang left, he threw his books into the small bookcase, picked up the bookcase and ran home.
Bai Shanbao, who had reached the bridgehead on time, had just the chance to raise his arm and wave it, when he saw Manbao running away like a colt that had broken free from its reins.
Bai Shanbao's raised hand froze, and he turned to ask Daji, "Why is Manbao in such a hurry?"
Daji smiled: Who told you not to tell her that you were coming back? See, the little boat of friendship can't stand the test, right?
