Gu Xi chose text, but after typing half of the word "coal," she deleted the text and dialed a voice call instead.
Xu Lulu: "Oh, Sister Xi, what do you want? We can negotiate the price."
Gu Xi hadn't expected that Xu Lulu would start calling her "Sister Xi" after just one transaction. However, so many people called her that that that she didn't feel any guilt about it.
Gu Xi: "What do you have?"
Xu Lulu: "Weapon blueprints, food and water, and basic materials. Let me make it clear first, weapon blueprints are not for sale, but you can provide materials for customization."
Gu Xi was somewhat disappointed. It seemed Xu Lulu's main goal was to sell weapons, but she really didn't need any. To her, the shark was a weapon, and the wooden spikes weren't just for show. Once she obtained better materials, she could make a bunch of wooden spikes as consumable weapons.
That's right, spikes are one of the few craftable items unlocked at the start of the game, and they require hard materials to craft, with each wooden spike consuming 5 units of wood.
Gu Xi: "Oh, I don't need weapons, and I don't lack food or water."
Xu Lulu could tell from the other person's lack of interest that they weren't interested in her things. But since they had made a voice call, they must be looking for some kind of material.
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, what's missing this time? Do you need more soil?"
Gu Xi didn't try to hide anything: "No, do you have coal?"
"Yes," Xu Lulu answered without hesitation this time.
Upon hearing the other party say yes, Gu Xi instantly perked up.
Gu Xi: "How many do you have?"
Xu Lulu: "8 yuan."
Gu Xi's eyes lit up: 8 pieces of coal could make 4 water dispensers!
Gu Xi: "I want them all."
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, you're so generous, but let's make this clear first, I don't lack water or food, what will you offer in exchange?"
Gu Xi: "Wait a minute."
After saying that, Gu Xi hung up the phone. She wasn't entirely sure about the value of coal, so she decided to go to the trading area first.
This time, Gu Xi searched for a long time again but found no trace of coal. The same thing happened yesterday when he was looking for the potting soil, and today it happened again. Xu Lulu had obtained key materials for important items twice in a row, which made Gu Xi suspicious.
Gu Xi dialed the number again.
Xu Lulu: "So? Have you made up your mind?"
Gu Xi: "Are you the luckiest person in the world?!"
Xu Lulu: "Congratulations, you got it right! You didn't find coal in the trading area, did you?"
Gu Xi: "Was my behavior very obvious?"
Gu Xi was speechless. Luckily, she had met Xu Lulu; otherwise, someone else might have tried to raise the price on the spot.
Xu Lulu: "No, it's just that what you want is too rare. When you ask for rare supplies, it at least means that you have already obtained the blueprints for the relevant items, or know the uses of certain supplies."
Gu Xi had to admit that Xu Lulu was very smart. But what was even more remarkable was that she knew this and still told him directly, which meant she had no ill intentions towards him.
