Chapter 99 Vending Machines
After listening to Zhao Shuying's explanation of how to use it, she immediately crushed the skill crystal. Soon, she was able to clearly perceive her villa in her mind, as well as a 2-meter radius area centered on the villa, where a light blue water curtain covered the area. She could adjust the height and width of the water curtain as she pleased.
She didn't set the water curtain too large, but instead defined the area of the first and second floors and the backyard, making the water curtain look like a cuboid plus a quarter circle.
After defining the area, she input 10% of her magic power. Soon, she heard the sound of light rain. She opened her eyes and saw that it was raining outside. However, the raindrops disappeared instantly upon hitting the ground and did not wet the ground. The sound of the rain was not annoying; instead, it was like white noise, which calmed her heart.
The Special Affairs Bureau was very efficient; after signing the contract, before even starting to invest, they let Yu Xunge choose the rent for the first month.
Yu Xunge originally wanted to choose the divination skill or the disguise skill, but when she saw a skill stone called "Hello, I want students", she didn't hesitate to choose five of them first!
[Hello, I am a student]: You can get a 10% discount on any transaction, regardless of time, place, currency, or type of transaction.
Someone like her, who easily spends tens of thousands of dollars, needs this kind of skill!
Then she selected two more "Why is it overweight again?" which would increase the number of slots in her game backpack. Each game backpack could only be used once. Yu Xunge's current game backpack had 36 slots, which was the backpack with the most slots that could be bought on Zelan Star. Only a master tailor could make a 36-slot backpack.
Only a skill as unreasonable as a divinely bestowed talent can expand the number of inventory slots.
After dealing with the rental of the dungeon, Yu Xunge had a meal with Zhao Shuying and Wu Qingbai before sending them off. Then, she used intermediate engineering to make a vending machine. Although the materials only cost her 21 gold coins, the dungeon upstairs would be lively for at least half a year, so she was sure she could break even.
In addition to cooking, she also plans to sell the small green items she has obtained, as well as some less common alchemical potions and engineering artifacts.
Silence potion, berserk potion, invisibility potion, reveal potion, agility potion, mechanical eyeball, pathfinding robot, etc...
Just like craft enthusiasts who love to exhibit their work, she has studied two major professions in her life and can't help but want to show them off.
Moreover, these things aren't so rare that they would tempt people to snatch them.
Then they set up the rest area, with tables and chairs, a coffee machine, a water dispenser, and disposable paper cups.
After finishing these tasks, Yu Xunge went to Zelan Star to buy a batch of basic healing potions and then went home to start making ginseng liquid.
Unlike alchemical potions, ginseng extract is not as refined. Once the proportions are right, you can boil a whole pot at once and then divide it into smaller portions.
As for the containers, she used the small glass bottles used for alchemy potions. One hundred of them could be bought for one copper coin. Engineering could also make them, but she was too lazy to waste time and just bought them with money.
We can brew 2,000 bottles per hour, but most of the time is spent on repackaging.
Unfortunately, this task couldn't be outsourced, so Yu Xunge had to do it himself...
Seventy thousand catties of red ginseng, 350,000 bottles... Even working six hours a day, it would take a month to finish it all... Yu Xunge wrote down the number of gold coins she could earn on a piece of cardboard and placed it in front of her. Only in this way could she feel that she could persevere.
On the very night the contract was signed, Zhao Shuying brought people to the rooftop of the Yu family's building to open a passageway. Looking at the vending machines that had already been set up, as well as the food, medicine, and miscellaneous items inside, Zhao Shuying twitched her lips.
The price is fair, and there's no commission to be paid to the auction house.
They're really obsessed with money...
While her colleague was clearing the passageway, Zhao Shuying pulled Yu Xunge to a corner and asked, "If I wanted to put a vending machine here to sell things, how much would it cost?"
Yu Xunge glanced at her: "As long as you spend money to buy a vending machine from me, you can put it here to sell."
Zhao Shuying: "How much?"
Yu Xunge: "Friendship price, 49 gold and 99 silver coins."
Zhao Shuying: "...Okay." The boomerang finally pierced her own skin.
...
While Yu Xunge was busy making money, the Liang family also acquired information that "your family's assets have a copy that you haven't discovered yet." The person selling the information even came to them on their own initiative.
Upon seeing that the other party's talent was called "Knowledgeable," which was indeed related to gathering information, the Liang family spent 3 gold coins to buy the information.
Although Baozi likes to sell the same information multiple times, she is also dedicated. After spending 1 gold to buy the information that there was a dungeon on the roof of the Liang family's office building, she not only verified it, but also specifically checked who was currently farming that dungeon. She packaged the information she found and sold it to the Liang family for 3 gold.
The Liang family was wealthy and generous; they not only paid the money readily but also added her as a friend, telling her to contact them if she had any news related to the Liang family in the future.
After the person left, Liang Yuchuan asked his uncle why he didn't just recruit her directly.
Liang Jing said, "There's no need. This kind of character is easy to offend people. Keeping her in our family will only cause us trouble sooner or later. If there's a problem, we can just pay her to buy it."
Liang Yuchuan: "Then the Su family..."
Liang Jing: "Find someone to verify it; it would be even better if we could stop it."
Then the Liang family caught them red-handed and blocked the Su family right at the entrance of the instance.
Okay, everyone, let's sit down and talk about compensation.
If the Liang family does nothing, it's tantamount to letting the Su family trample on their own face.
Before the game's invasion, the Su family might have been much stronger than the Liang family, but times have changed now, haven't they? The Su family's progress hasn't been much faster than the Liang family's.
Just as the Liang family blocked the Su family outside the instance, Yu Xunge, who had received the message through the undead spider, instantly perked up. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Such a minor matter wouldn't warrant the involvement of the heads of the Su and Liang families; it's usually the younger generation who handles it. The Su family sent Su Yitong to resolve the issue, since Su Yitong and Liang Yuchuan hold similar positions within the Su family. Moreover, this is just a level 1 instance, so there's no need to make a big fuss.
Su Yitong was on her way after receiving the message, while Liang Yuchuan sat at the entrance of the instance waiting for her.
Yu Xunge arrived at this moment. She didn't dare to use the Illusion Spell that could be detected by skills. Instead, she used Phantom Teleport to the vicinity of the office building, fully armed herself, and then used the Thief God's Disguise Skill. She then teleported to the blind spot of the surveillance cameras on the 26th floor, transformed into a gecko, and climbed up the outer wall of the office building to the roof.
Just as I finished finding a safe spot to lie down, Su Yitong arrived.
Su Yitong wasn't as shameless as Yu Xunge thought, trying to pin the blame on her. The main reason was that Yu Xunhuan was, after all, Yu Xunhuan's older sister. Not only did she have cooperation with the Special Affairs Bureau, but she also had connections to get good stuff. Su Yitong didn't need to offend her so early.
The Su family accepted the situation and didn't intend to break ties with the Liang family, but it was impossible for them to compensate the Su family with 200 gold coins...
