"No, many of those places were prime locations that I had spent a lot of effort to seize from others. If I don't inspect them every now and then, people will think I've been killed and the land has become vacant again."
"Are you men all crazy? Do you even want to claim ownership of those trash cans?"
"Wherever there are people, there will be conflict. And whenever there are more than three people, there will inevitably be a division between left, center, and right, Comrade Xiaoye."
"Stop using such flowery language, I can't understand it."
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you girls. I'm definitely going, not even if the King of Heaven himself comes."
"If you want something, just go and buy it, right? If you're short of money, you can just ask me. Why do you have to rummage through the trash can? If others see this, they'll think I, the Water Goddess Xiaoye, can't afford to support a man. What kind of talk is that?"
Faced with such remarks.
Lorraine found it utterly amusing and immediately replied, "That's a woman's perspective. Why spend money to buy something that can be obtained for free?"
"What's so good about things that others have used?"
"You must apologize to the entire global secondhand market immediately."
"No, besides, even if you take over all the trash cans in the city, what's the point? Trash is still trash no matter where it goes."
The water god Xiaoye said this.
Lorraine didn't offer any further explanation. Instead, she picked up a glass of water, showed it the chilled barley tea inside, and asked her.
"Xiao Ye, in your eyes, what is the value of this iced barley tea?"
"Value? What value could it possibly have? Even if you put it out for sale, no one would buy such an ordinary cup of barley tea, even if it's iced, cool and refreshing, and tastes great."
In response to this.
Lorraine smiled upon hearing this.
"That's right. Maybe if you took it out on the street now, no one would buy it for a single dollar. But... if you were in the desert, in a place where water resources are almost nonexistent, and you suddenly pulled out a cup of iced barley tea like this, it would be worth a fortune! And there's no upper limit. It's comparable to the most dazzling rare treasure in the world, enough to make everyone go crazy for it!"
"Huh? What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Circumstances create heroes. Many things may seem like trash to you, but if you change the environment, even the most useless trash can become as shiny as gold!"
"Keep bragging. We can never figure out what's going on in your heads anyway."
Even the water goddess Xiaoye was amused.
But knowing that she couldn't argue with him, she let him have his way.
Lorraine didn't offer much explanation, but simply said leisurely.
"In any case, stockpiling more things and being prepared for a rainy day will never hurt you. This is the wisdom of our ancestors. Don't wait until you really need them to regret not stockpiling the necessary supplies in advance, and end up accepting the cruel reality with endless regret and despair."
"Oh right, right... Anyway, go ahead and pick them up if you want, just don't go behind my back to see some random woman. And be careful."
Water Goddess Saya can never understand men's thinking.
