Chapter 19 Seahorse Supermarket
Previously, whenever Mingzhao sold things, the ocean dwellers would buy them very slowly, and she thought they were just naturally slow-paced.
This time, all of the dozen or so dishes were sold out in less than 10 seconds.
It's important to know that Mingzhao sets the price for each dish at 2-5 Ocean Coins, which is no small amount. Selling a ship only costs a few dozen Ocean Coins.
The remaining few sea urchins and inflatable seals that didn't manage to get any started hurling insults at each other and even arranged a place to fight.
The snatching was so fast that Mingzhao couldn't even see which dish sold out first.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannosaurus: "Today marks the fifth anniversary of the establishment of our Land-Sea Friendly Trade Group. To thank our group members for their support, we are launching a Food Carnival, which will be held tonight at 9 PM. Dishes that originally cost 6-10 Ocean Coins will now only cost 2-5 Ocean Coins."
"What we just sold were samples for tasting. Please fill out a ballot and we will order more based on your feedback."
Mingzhao conducted a poll on the dishes mentioned earlier, with each ocean resident allowed to cast five votes for the dish they were most interested in.
The residents of the ocean showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the event, and the votes were almost all cast in less than ten minutes.
The most popular dishes are the Crystal Seafood Pudding and the Mixed Seafood Rice.
Pancake Dog was very satisfied with the result, because both dishes were her own creations, with complex techniques, which best showcased her culinary skills.
Moreover, because these two dishes are complicated to make and contain a lot of ingredients, they give her the most chef experience bonus.
Pancake Dog immediately threw himself into the tense and exciting process of preparing the ingredients.
At that moment, Mingzhao suddenly remembered that she still had soil, bok choy seeds, and strawberry seeds in her backpack.
She hasn't been eating any vegetables or fruits for the past few days, and she's developed mouth ulcers.
The intelligent space that can control time has a total of four squares. Planting one cabbage seed and two strawberry seeds requires three squares.
Using the Clear Vision, Mingzhao saw a Time Diamond that could accelerate time within the space by two months.
The growth cycle of cabbage is about 4 months, and that of strawberries is about 6 months. It takes three Time Diamonds for them to ripen.
Mingzhao put the seeds and soil into the intelligent space, and then reluctantly put in two Time Diamonds.
After taking the cabbage out, another one was put in.
The quality of the seeds given by the Great Voyage game is truly exceptional. The cabbages are tender and juicy, and the strawberries are crystal clear, like morning jewels, exuding an enticing fragrance.
Mingzhao was leisurely eating strawberries when, at nine o'clock, Jianbing Gouzi sent over the vegetables.
I made 50 servings each of the Crystal Seafood Pudding and the Assorted Seafood Rice, and reduced the number of other dishes according to their order of importance, for a total of 300 servings. This almost depleted my previous meat reserves from fighting monsters.
At this moment, the sea-land friendly trade group is in the middle of a fight. The previous argument between the irritable sea urchins and the inflatable sea lions is getting more and more heated. Other sea dwellers are either trying to break up the fight or stirring it up.
Suddenly, 300 portions of food arrived, and the entire group chat went silent.
Mingzhao was wondering why the inventory hadn't decreased at all when the panel flashed and the inventory instantly dropped to 0!
It turns out that too many ocean residents were purchased at the same time, causing the system to freeze.
She was shocked. The group only had a little over two hundred people. The fact that 300 copies disappeared instantly meant that many ocean dwellers had grabbed more than one copy.
Tuntun Seal: "The doctor said I only had two months to live. Being able to eat this in my last moments makes my life worthwhile."
Heartbreaking Sea Urchin: "Old man, I grabbed an extra serving of pudding, here you go."
Sea Hare Sticky: "I'm so happy, waaaaah! It's so delicious I want to spin around on the spot~"
...
The trade group, which had just been on the verge of conflict, suddenly became incredibly harmonious, while Mingzhao was counting money until his hands cramped.
This time, she earned a total of 1028 Ocean Coins!
You should know that Ocean Coins have a lot of purchasing power; she had never seen so many in her previous life, until she died.
I gave the Ocean Coins to the pancake dog.
Pancake Dog: "Boss, what is this? It looks really powerful. You gave me too much."
"Just take it, you'll soon find out what it's for," said the invincible Tyrannomon.
It was already 9:30 PM, and Mingzhao still had 45% sanity left.
I drove a total of 300 nautical miles today, and earned another 40 points this afternoon. My physical fitness improved a bit.
She used the remaining half hour to continue practicing her shooting.
She has now mastered the combination of marksmanship and the Eye of Truth, achieving a hit rate of about 60% on vital points.
All that's left is to continue refining your marksmanship and improving your muscle memory.
After practicing until 10 o'clock, Mingzhao took a nice, relaxing shower and changed into new clothes.
Exhausted from the whole day, she quickly drifted off to sleep.
The initial sea area was sunny on the 7th.
Mingzhao was woken up by the heat. The blanket had been kicked aside long ago, but the sweat still soaked the sheets a little.
Conservatively speaking, today's temperature will be at least 35 degrees Celsius.
It seems that the next sea area is indeed an extremely warm sea area.
Mingzhao took another shower to wash away the sticky sweat.
Upon entering the driver's seat and turning on the air conditioner for the first time, the gentle cool air quickly swept away the humid and hot air.
There's an island stop today, so we need to hurry and set sail.
Mingzhao ate breakfast, started the ship, and continued sailing.
At nine o'clock, a very luxuriously decorated island appeared in front of us, with a huge balloon banner floating in the sky.
[Haima Supermarket Anniversary Special Offer!]
There were many colorful balloons around, and cheerful music could be heard even before we reached the island, making it seem very lively.
Mingzhao moored the boat at the shore and went ashore.
At the heart of the island is a giant supermarket, and every sea dweller passing by has a smile on their face.
Sometimes I really envy these carefree ocean dwellers.
Upon entering the supermarket, the joyful atmosphere intensified. Upbeat music filled the air as loudspeakers continuously announced today's discounted items, creating a cheerful ambiance.
Colorful seahorse balloons were scattered throughout the supermarket, and every sea-loving child had one.
Mingzhao discovered that he had gained a temporary buff.
[New Player Special Offer: All items are 50% off during the new player period. This offer is only visible to the player.]
This "visible only to the player" means that only the player knows they used the half-price discount, while the ocean dwellers perceive it as having paid the listed price.
Mingzhao currently has 874 Ocean Coins, which means she can buy items worth a total of 1748 Ocean Coins.
The shopping area in the middle of the mall was packed with Ocean residents, each pushing a shopping cart and squeezing their way in.
But this wasn't Mingzhao's most important destination for the day. She didn't even glance at it and headed straight for another area.
A limited selection of expensive, restricted-purchase items for few ocean dwellers!
In his past life, Mingzhao had long coveted the goods here!
