Chapter 176 sold out on the same day.
Zuo Shan was a little confused. All she had posted was a task to sell sausages. And it was only the lowest-level F-rank task, with a total transaction amount of only 500,000.
Are the big shots on this forum really that interested?
She casually browsed a few replies:
Ninth Forum Know-It-All: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be such a pragmatist. You just inquired about the shipping methods and costs for items traded on the forum, and now you've already started selling them."
"Speaking of which, I've never seen this sausage before, but since it's meat-filled, I have to buy some to try, just to support my brother's business!"
Lonely Deep Sea: "Just woke up and came across this post on the forum. Looks like we're destined to meet. I'll get a copy too!"
Lone Ranger: "Are the two people upstairs shills? They've never even heard of sausages before, yet they dare to place an order? I definitely won't fall for it, but I might give the free raffle a try. If I'm lucky enough to win, I'll try it and see if it's any good."
Red Fox's loyal servant: "Same as upstairs, I won't go up, but I'll try my luck in the lottery."
...
I'm always the one who gets hurt: "Hahahaha! I never thought that someone as unlucky as me would actually have a stroke of good luck! I won! And it's the first prize! I'm just waiting for the three sausages to arrive!"
Mutant Flower: "Since the lottery is real, maybe this sausage is really delicious? It's only 50,000 silver coins, I'll have one too!"
...
Zuo Shan counted, and this post had 28 replies, and all ten sausages had already been ordered!
The post has been replied to 89 times, and all three prizes have been won. It seems that this forum has a limit on the number of participants for its prize draw, probably no more than 100.
Then she discovered that the Ninth Forum was incredibly thorough in protecting the privacy of its members; customers who ordered sausages were only shown by their nicknames, and their addresses were not even visible.
She received an in-system notification: "Item No. 999, all buyers have completed the task you posted. Please prepare the goods as soon as possible."
The Hurricane Delivery Team messenger in your area will pick up your package within two hours. If the package is not ready within the specified time, you will be charged a late payment penalty of five gold coins per hour.
Zuo Shan glanced at the time the notification was sent; it was an hour and a half ago. Luckily, her shopping trip at the supermarket was short, and she returned quickly, otherwise she would have unknowingly exceeded the time limit.
Thinking of this, she quickly took out 10 vacuum-packed sausages that she had prepared in advance from her spatial button, as well as three small packages of sausages for the lucky draw.
Then, using a white marker bought from Old Wu's small shop, I wrote the nicknames of the orderers on each of these black vacuum bags.
She had just finished her work when she heard a knock on the door outside the yard. Then her wristwatch vibrated wildly, and a message popped up: "I am Hurricane Messenger, please open the door!"
Zuo Shan quickly ran over, opened the courtyard gate, and let the person in.
The man who arrived was tall and thin with a well-proportioned frame; he looked like a clothes hanger, the kind of guy who would be a male model walking the runway.
He was wearing a khaki hooded thermal suit and a thermal mask over his face, making it impossible to see what he looked like, but his amber eyes were bright and piercing.
Zuo Shan casually dragged over a clean, large bamboo basin and poured all the vacuum bags with names written on them into the basin.
The visitor didn't say much. He simply turned on the video recording function of his watch, then took out thirteen silver metal boxes from the spatial button, put the vacuum bags into the metal boxes one by one, locked them, and put them into the spatial button.
Zuo Shan noticed that each of these metal boxes had something similar to an adhesive sticker on it, clearly stating the item name, weight, and recipient's nickname.
It turns out she was just too sentimental; the one-stop service they provided was truly thoughtful and comprehensive.
Sigh! High shipping costs definitely have their advantages! Courier services on Earth aren't this convenient.
"Madam, nice to meet you. Best of luck, see you next time!" The tall, thin man said as his first words upon meeting her, then turned and left.
His voice was a slightly languid baritone, the kind that's perfect for reciting hypnotic stories—pleasant to the ear and not harsh.
Zuo Shan stood at the door, wondering whether he should silently see the person off, but in the blink of an eye, the person's back had disappeared without a trace.
Okay, I forgot that he's a speed-based ability user.
Both are speed-type ability users, so why can others run like the wind, while she can't even outrun a second-tier grassland wolf?
It seems she needs to work hard to improve her superpowers. If she increases her speed, not only will her life be guaranteed, but she'll also have an extra part-time job opportunity.
Back in Earth, many graduates complained about not being able to find high-paying jobs. Neighbors or elders would say, "Hmph! Isn't it because they're unwilling to work hard? Courier companies are always hiring. If you work hard, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month!"
Zuo Shan was a little curious, wondering how much the monthly base salary of these hurricane messengers was, and how much commission they received per order.
But with such a small amount of stock, she probably won't earn much commission, right?
The Ninth Forum operates similarly to Blue Star's e-commerce platform. The payment is only transferred to the seller's account after the buyer has inspected the goods in front of the Hurricane Messenger to ensure they are not spoiled, rotten, or counterfeit. Only after the buyer presses the "successful receipt" button on the Hurricane Messenger's watch will the payment be transferred to the seller's account.
The difference here is that you can only return the goods if you find the defect in person; otherwise, you are not allowed to return them, and there is no such thing as "seven-day no-reason return".
However, if the buyer finds the goods to be defective afterward, they can leave a negative review under the task post published by the seller.
If a user receives more than a certain number of negative reviews, they will be prohibited from selling items on the forum.
Zuo Shan wasn't worried at all. Her sausages, while not quite state banquet grade, were unique in this wasteland. Mina and Matt both said they were good, so they must be pretty good.
