Chapter 11 Accidental Injury: Take a Look at the Abs
As soon as Lin Nanxing left, the group, no longer restrained, immediately erupted in excitement, lamenting how long it had been since they had eaten human food.
"Tiger, why did you buy ten boxes of instant noodles?"
"Captain, this instant noodles are easy to buy at this swimming pool, but they're a rare find outside. Before anyone discovers this place, let's contact those high-level players and resell them for 1500 points. That's ten times the profit without lifting a finger!"
"Isn't this just a scalper?"
"Whether it's scalping or not, isn't it a good thing that we can make money? If the boss hadn't only put fifty boxes of instant noodles on the shelves, and considering that my brothers also need them, I would have bought all of them."
The two were whispering in the corner. Seeing the person who was called the captain hesitate, Li Ziqi, who had overheard the conversation, pursed her lips speechlessly.
But considering they had fought monsters together, she kindly reminded them, "You shouldn't even think about doing this kind of business. Items sold by Xingxing Swimming Pool are prohibited from being resold in the system."
"There's such a rule?!" The man who bought ten boxes of instant noodles was shocked.
"You can check it in your backpack; there are notes in the item description." Li Ziqi also noticed a system pop-up message when she shared it with her mother yesterday: [This item cannot be resold; it can only be given away as a gift.]
As long as game currency is used, all transactions will be detected by the game. The system will declare that resale is not allowed and will eliminate all such situations, ensuring that there will be no speculation or profiteering.
The man who had been plotting something was now relieved that he had only bought ten boxes.
Lin Nanxing was naturally aware of this rule. That's the good thing about the management system. She only needs to control the overall operation, and the system will fill in the details for her. This system is comparable to an all-around caring housekeeper and is essential for doing business.
[Host, thank you for your praise.]
Lin Nanxing paused, almost forgetting that the system could hear what he was thinking.
However, now that the system had spoken, Lin Nanxing had a question to ask: "System, since I unlocked the business module directly after trading one hundred items, will other modes have the same trigger conditions?"
For example, the production module may need to manufacture a certain number of items, the planting module may need to plant a certain number of food, and the world channel, which has not been unlocked yet, is probably based on a similar principle.
[The game content requires your personal exploration; this system cannot reveal too much.]
"Alright then." The system's answer was expected, but since it didn't deny it, it meant that it was feasible.
She had just checked the business mall and found that the transaction-related buildings that originally required 100,000 to unlock, such as department stores and clothing stores, now only cost 10,000.
This means there are two ways to play the game. One is the pay-to-win mode, where you spend 100,000 points to unlock a certain type of building, and then similar buildings only require 10,000 points. The second way to play is to complete hidden tasks set by the system to unlock buildings for free.
For Lin Nanxing, there was no need to hesitate; he would definitely choose the second option. Why spend money when you can work hard?
Of course, this is just Lin Nanxing's conjecture. She will have to test it when she has some free time. Right now, she has to stay at the service desk.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Mao Qindong and his group got up from the rest area of the swimming pool, said goodbye to Lin Nanxing, and set off now so that they could return to the town around six o'clock.
Today was a rare day off for them. They spent the whole day in a comfortable environment, even more pleasant than an air-conditioned room before the apocalypse. If the swimming pool hadn't closed until 5 p.m., they would have loved to stay there forever.
After seeing off the group of guests, Lin Nanxing visibly relaxed, and her tense shoulders loosened considerably. She called out to the banyan tree spirit still outside, "Big Banyan, we're about to close. You've had a long day too. Come in and have some water."
During the day, there are many more monsters trying to attack the Star Territory, but the swimming pool remains peaceful, thanks to the banyan tree spirit guarding the barrier and nipping all dangers in the bud.
Lin Nanxing's backpack contained a lot more instant noodles and bottled water.
Lin Nanxing glanced at the backend and saw that today's total sales reached 13,560 points, which was the combined revenue from pool consumption and food sales, with food accounting for the majority.
The instant noodles and bat jelly were obtained by the banyan tree spirit from hunting monsters. Lin Nanxing didn't spend a single penny. Not only that, Lin Nanxing also got 259 game coins from hunting monsters, so naturally, he had to be rewarded as a great contributor.
Perhaps because it had drunk its fill of water in the morning, the banyan tree stopped drinking water when the operating cost of the territory barely exceeded 800.
Lin Nanxing walked over carrying a bunch of glass jars, somewhat surprised: "Aren't you going to drink it? You don't need to save me money. The swimming pool is doing well right now, and there's plenty of money in the account."
The banyan tree shook its trunk, indicating that it had drunk its fill.
"Then go play somewhere else, I need to use the swimming pool."
Li Ziqi's words in the afternoon inspired Lin Nanxing, who spent 1,000 game coins to buy 50 glass jars.
The glass jars filled with pool water are for customers to take home and use. Lin Nanxing plans to sell the water as a burn repair medicine for 100 game coins per bottle.
This repair medicine is just pool water to Lin Nanxing, but it's a life-saving medicine in the hands of the demon-hunting team. After deducting the cost, Lin Nanxing doesn't actually make much profit.
She wanted to see if selling 100 bottles of this repair medicine would unlock the pharmacy.
All the glass jars were filled with water, and Lin Nanxing put them all into the vending machine. She glanced at the time.
It was 5:30, and Lin Nanxing was preparing to pack up and close for the day when suddenly, the door was pushed open violently.
She looked up and saw Shu Yi, who had returned.
His current state is completely different from when he left. He is disheveled, his protective suit is torn in many places, and the torn areas are covered in blood, clearly indicating that he has been through a fierce battle.
Lin Nanxing was somewhat surprised and quickly stepped forward, asking with concern, "What happened to you? Did you encounter a very powerful monster?"
Shu Yi leaned against the door, his eyes half-closed, too weak to even speak, only shaking his head almost imperceptibly.
Seeing Shu Yi's state, Lin Nanxing disregarded the traditional boundaries between men and women, took a big step and stopped in front of him, reaching out to start taking off his clothes, "Relax, let me check your wound."
Shu Yi did not resist and obediently took off his clothes.
Lin Nanxing's undistracted gaze fell on his wounds, which were shocking burns. His skin was red and swollen, and in some places, large blisters had even formed.
Such severe burns, if not treated promptly, could lead to other complications. Lin Nanxing had previously seen news reports of people dying from extensive burns all over their bodies.
With the yellow sand everywhere, where could she find a doctor who could treat large-area burns?
No, this is a game world, and I have a swimming pool that is incredibly effective against high temperatures. Realizing this, Lin Nanxing immediately shouted outside, "Da Rong, come and lend a hand, move Shu Yi into the pool."
The banyan tree spirit did not want to get close to Shu Yi, but it had to obey its master's command. Its roots reluctantly stretched out, gently lifted Shu Yi, and carefully moved him toward the pool area.
Lin Nanxing followed closely behind.
As soon as Shu Yi's body came into contact with the pool water, the blisters from his burns disappeared at a visible speed, and the pain at the wound site was significantly reduced.
Shu Yi, who was in a semi-comatose state, opened his eyes and looked at Lin Nanxing, who was squatting by the pool, with a somewhat ambiguous look in his eyes.
"Are you feeling better?" Lin Nanxing asked eagerly when he saw that Shu Yi had regained consciousness.
"Um."
Seeing that his condition was gradually improving, Lin Nanxing breathed a slight sigh of relief, but soon she frowned again.
Business hours are approaching. According to the rules, outside of business hours, everyone else in the territory will be expelled from the barrier. Although Shu Yi is injured, he is no exception.
However, his wounds have not fully healed yet, and Lin Nanxing cannot leave the patient in a 100-degree Celsius environment.
Lin Nanxing stared intently at a certain spot, her thoughts wandering elsewhere, until Shu Yi awkwardly covered his body, bringing Lin Nanxing's gaze back to reality, and she finally noticed what she had been staring at.
Compared to the other guests we've seen, Shu Yi is actually quite thin, but he has well-defined chest and abdominal muscles, exuding masculine charm.
!! Ahhh, Lin Nanxing, stop thinking! What are you thinking? This is no excuse for her to keep staring!
Lin Nanxing, who had never been in a relationship, blushed instantly. Her heart raced, and she felt a little flustered. Could this guest think she was a pervert?
Shu Yi's lips moved slightly, as if he had something to say, but Lin Nanxing did not give him a chance to speak.
"Da Rong, you stay here and watch over him. Don't let him drown. I have to go now." Lin Nanxing quickly finished speaking to the banyan tree spirit and then turned and ran.
She remained expressionless throughout, but her wandering eyes betrayed her inner turmoil.
Lin Nanxing jogged all the way until she collapsed onto the bed in the lounge. Only then did she dare to stop, take a few deep breaths, and try to calm her racing heart.
A minute later, Lin Nanxing, lying on the bed, was still thinking about images unsuitable for children, and the blush on her face did not fade with time.
Lin Nanxing rolled over and buried herself in the blankets. It was the first time she had ever been directly exposed to the high-definition, large, and well-built body of an adult male, and she felt a little hot.
This won't do. To calm himself down, Lin Nanxing mentally called out to the system: "System, system, what conditions must be met for Shu Yi to stay here after the business closes?"
The system dutifully displayed: [Host, the area you are in is a territory. According to the rules of the Star Territory, only residents with dwellings are allowed to remain within the territory after business hours.]
Lin Nanxing frowned, not having time to complain about the territory's name. There were two problems: first, how could Shu Yi become a resident of the territory? Second, how could he obtain a place to live?
"System, which has a higher priority: territory residents or residences?" Lin Nanxing asked seriously, frowning.
The system seemed surprised that Lin Nanxing would ask this question, pausing for several seconds before replying: [Host, accommodation has the highest priority.]
It went on to explain: "Only by becoming a resident of the territory can one be eligible to purchase a dwelling; therefore, dwelling is the core requirement."
Lin Nanxing's eyes lit up, and her thoughts instantly became clear. Since the accommodation was the key, she had a solution.
