"Dozens of kilograms?"
Sang Ning asked curiously, "Are there so many jellyfish over there that they're practically an overpopulation?"
Indeed, every year people are poisoned by jellyfish. At each low tide, marine robots remove tens or even hundreds of tons of jellyfish, especially during high tide, when the amount is in the thousands.
Besides jellyfish, what we're famous for here is the jellyfish decomposition site—a waste decomposition center specifically built for jellyfish.
I think I know which planet the residents upstairs are from. Do you have a specialty product called crystal powder where you live?
I've heard of crystal powder, but I still don't understand its specific uses.
It looks good, but it's useless; it's just spending money to buy aesthetics.
What is crystal powder made of?
[The jellyfish collected by marine robots after each low tide are all sent to a jellyfish waste decomposition center. After decomposition, they become the main raw material for crystal powder. Then, some other ingredients are added, and that's how you buy crystal powder.]
So, the production cost of crystal powder isn't high.
[It wasn't expensive to begin with, it's ridiculously cheap.]
But you sell them at a high price.
This has nothing to do with us; we didn't set the price.
Fimonloa, who had also bought crystal powder, complained upon hearing this, "You guys are really greedy. It's just a few grams of something, yet you sell it for over five hundred."
"So expensive?"
A single bottle of low-grade nutrient solution retails for 12 yuan, while a whole case costs 8 yuan wholesale. Let's calculate it at 8 yuan. One hundred yuan can buy twelve bottles of nutrient solution and still have some left over.
One vial of nutrient solution is the daily ration for the native inhabitants of planet E72.
Alas, no matter how times change, there will never be absolute fairness, and the gap between the rich and the poor is an inevitable outcome in any era.
"Yes, it's that expensive."
Fimonloa nodded, then asked Sang Ning, "Do you like crystal pink? If you do, I'll send you a box later."
Sanning, "···"
Sang Ning was both amused and exasperated. "I've never even seen what crystal powder looks like, so how can I talk about liking or disliking it?"
Even if I like it, I don't want it.
They mainly told me that crystal powder is useless and just a cheap ornamental item.
Giving her nutrient solution is more practical than giving her crystal powder.
However, Sang Ning didn't say these words aloud; she only thought them to herself.
The audience was incredibly enthusiastic; upon hearing that she had never seen crystal powder before, they immediately showed her a bunch of pictures of crystal powder.
After reading it, Sang Ning once again became curious about the thought processes of intelligent life in this world.
These crystal powders are similar to the colored sand in an hourglass in the original world of Sanning, with sparkling little stars, moons, and fluffy things as decorations.
They were packaged in various shaped containers that resembled glass jars, and they didn't look like much.
Sang Ning couldn't understand why anyone would spend so much money to buy something like this.
It seems to have quite a large audience.
Do you like it?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Fimmonloa poked her with her finger.
Sang Ning shook her head, "I don't feel anything, I can't say I like it or dislike it."
Some viewers were curious and asked her if she would spend money to buy it.
Sang Ning decisively replied, "No, this stuff is no different from sand on the beach to me, except it has a bit more color. I don't appreciate it."
"You're making me sound like a complete idiot," Philoya murmured.
Many viewers who had bought crystal powder also felt the same way, and they left comments saying that they also felt like big fools.
Sang Ning was both amused and exasperated. "There's no need to talk about yourself like that. Everyone has their own little hobbies. As long as you like them, there's no need to care about other people's opinions and thoughts. After all, it's your own money, not someone else's."
"You really think so?"
"real."
Sang Ning nodded and looked at Fimonloa, "Have you been talked about before?"
"yes."
When it came to this topic, Fimmonloa had a lot of grievances to pour out.
"I like sparkly things, and crystal powder is one of them. I've spent over a million dollars to collect all the colors of crystal powder and the cute little things inside."
Sanning, "···"
Millions or so, definitely rich.
“Then I have a few friends who grew up with me. Every time I buy crystal powder, they say I'm stupid and wasteful, and that I should buy some gifts for them instead of buying these useless things.”
Sanning, "···"
This doesn't feel like a friend at all, but rather a fake friend who's taking advantage of her.
"The problem is, I've given them plenty of gifts too."
Sang Ning paused for two seconds, then asked, "You gave them gifts, did they give you any?"
"It's been delivered."
Fortunately, it's not a bad deal for friends to reciprocate; it's just that they express themselves differently.
The thought had barely crossed Sang Ning's mind when she heard Fimonloya add, "But the things they gave me were ridiculously cheap, not even worth a fraction of what I gave them."
Sanning, "···"
Sang Ning was speechless; he was definitely a sucker.
As a team member, she should have reminded Fimmonloa to stay away from her friends.
But their relationship wasn't really that close; it wasn't as close as the one between Fimonloa and her childhood friends.
Therefore, if she were to offer a warning, she would risk being perceived as sowing discord by Fimonloa.
It would also offend Fimonloa's friends.
Sang Ning had many concerns, but the audience didn't.
