Chapter 8 The Return Dispute
Pancake Dog: "I received so many private messages today, all from people who are starving and want food. Boss, you gave me so many ingredients, I can't possibly eat them all. I was thinking of making more to give away to everyone. What do you think?"
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Don't give them away, you can sell some. If you give them away today, and then you don't have enough ingredients to give away later, people will blame you for not being a good person to the end. Those who didn't get the free food will also resent you."
Pancake Dog: "Okay, boss, I'll do as you say."
Mingzhao wasn't exaggerating; what she was saying were all true stories from her past life. A small favor can be appreciated, but a large one can breed resentment. Some people even made enemies because of this and were killed.
Many people still don't realize that the Great Voyage game is a complete dog-eat-dog world devoid of law and morality. Abandoning unnecessary sympathy is beneficial to everyone.
However, this reminded Mingzhao that she had also received many private messages.
The food she had placed in the trading hall had long been sold out, and some people even offered her goods worth far more than the food itself, indicating that they were really starving to death.
It was the third day since entering the game, and the probability of getting food from opening chests was extremely low. This was the first test that the game gave to everyone, and those who didn't bring any food with them were probably about to collapse.
Mingzhao traded his last instant rice, instant hot pot, and instant noodles for two ship upgrade cards, 10 batteries, and some ordinary supplies.
But she still had dozens of private messages, and the food she brought in from the supermarket couldn't satisfy everyone.
Mingzhao did not intend to save everyone, but in the later stages of the competition for national prestige, the number of citizens was a very important indicator.
In her previous life, 5,000 people died in the initial sea area of this service area, most of them from starvation. In this life, she wants to reduce that number as much as possible.
Although food resources are scarce on the flight routes right now, there is one place that will never lack food!
That's where the ocean dwellers live. The deep sea is rich in resources, as evidenced by their fondness for collecting finely processed snacks and ornaments. They have no shortage of basic necessities.
Although most of them are terrible cooks, it's better to have something than nothing.
Open the maritime and land-based friendly trade group.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "I'm a long-term customer for food, one ordinary sustenance per serving."
Although Ocean Coins are the hard currency for Ocean Residents, their price is too high, and not everything needs to be exchanged for Ocean Coins.
Ordinary goods are equivalent to ordinary currency for ocean dwellers, but of course, ocean coins are still needed to buy better items.
This knowledge was shared with me by someone in the group who had a trading profession, during the later stages of the game in my previous life.
This price is quite reasonable for ocean residents, and someone replied quickly.
When the tide rises, the sea hare remains awake: "I have nutritional paste here, one tube is enough for a meal, I'll make 100."
Mingzhao spent all his money to buy all these nutritional pastes and opened the service area group chat.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "100 tubes of nutritional paste will be available in five minutes. One tube is enough for one meal. The taste cannot be guaranteed. Two ordinary supplies per tube. First come, first served. No returns or exchanges after sale."
Energetic Liu Laolao: "Wow! I'm in! You guys do whatever you want!"
Don't criticize, it will feel good: "Can pregnant women eat this? Can children eat this? Is it non-GMO?"
Take things easy: "If you have a channel, share it with everyone. You can't make all the money yourself."
Mingzhao ignored these troublemakers; her targets were those who truly needed the services.
She put 100 tubes of nutritional paste on the shelves on time and set a limit of two per person.
Then he closed the panel. Feeling a bit sleepy after eating, Mingzhao decided to take a nap to regain some sanity before continuing to sail in the afternoon.
I slept for half an hour and then discovered that there were new messages in the maritime and land-based friendly trade group.
Spiral Nautilus: "I can provide 100 servings of boiled seafood stew, guaranteed fresh."
Mingzhao first went to check the trading hall and found that all 100 portions of nutritional paste had been sold, earning him 200 basic resources.
So they used another 100 basic supplies to buy all 100 servings of boiled seafood stew.
I was about to post it in the group chat when I suddenly realized that everyone in the group had tagged me.
"Don't scold, you'll feel good": "@InvincibleTyrannosaurusBeast, [image], is this something you can eat? I replaced this with two pieces of glass?"
The innocent-looking female monkey said, "It's good enough that there's food at all, don't sell it to me."
Nine Hundred Million Girls' Dream: "This thing smells fishy. I reasonably suspect it's made with cockroaches. @CosmicInvincibleTyrannosaurus, come out and give an explanation."
Huang Ge, a clear-headed commentator: "You can't do this. Doesn't your conscience hurt when you make money this way? @CosmicInvincibleTyrannosaurusBeast"
Pancake Dog: "They said from the beginning that they couldn't guarantee the taste. If you're bored, go lick a toilet instead of babbling on here."
Take things easy: "I told you, you wouldn't share, but everyone's supplies didn't just appear out of thin air. Just return the things to their owners."
He kicked the cripple's good leg repeatedly: "Life is so boring, a toad comments on humanity. Although it didn't taste good, I'm definitely not hungry after eating it. You guys aren't trying to freeload, are you? Which sewer wasn't closed properly and let you guys out?"
...
The group was filled with heated arguments, but most people were still on Mingzhao's side.
Looking at the dozen or so refund requests in the private messages, Mingzhao clicked "agree" one by one. Although she said no refunds or exchanges, it was still good to use this method to filter out potential customers.
The moment he clicked "agree," the unfinished nutritional paste returned to Mingzhao. With the system around, getting something for free was simply impossible.
Then I blocked all these people, so they can't buy anything I put on the shelves anymore.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "I have approved all the refund requests. This is the first and the last time."
"One hundred servings of boiled seafood stew will be available in five minutes. Each serving contains two regular supplies. First come, first served."
When the time came, Mingzhao put the boiled seafood stew on the menu.
This stuff looks much tastier than nutritional paste; it was all gone in less than five seconds.
The dream of 900 million girls: "What's going on? Why can't I buy anything? It says I've been blocked?"
Pudding without sugar: "Waaaaah, boss, I was wrong, please release me! I only left because others left."
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "I don't sell my stuff to people who don't do business with integrity."
Pancake Dog: "Well done, boss! These people deserve to be taught a lesson!"
The innocent-looking female monkey: "[Image], hehe, delicious, so delicious! Can't you have any? Serves you right!"
Take things easy: "How can you be so spineless? If you don't want to sell to me, then don't buy it. Are you so desperate for food?"
Divorced with two children: "Stop barking like a dog. You're not the one who'll starve. Just don't let me see you, or I'll cut your head off and feed it to the fish."
...
Mingzhao's private messages exploded once again.
Those who had been blocked were making excuses and begging for forgiveness.
Their nutritional paste was taken away, their attempt to get something for free failed, and they couldn't buy any new food. You can imagine how anxious they were.
Some people even took the supplies as compensation.
Mingzhao could not possibly agree, but one thing piqued her interest.
She discovered that several of these people had mentioned the same name.
