Chapter 37 Menthol Oil
As soon as Meng Qingyin finished speaking, the chat area erupted in discussion again.
Huangdoubao: "Am I seeing things? Boss Mengmeng is selling gasoline?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Everyone, hurry and buy some!"
I am the Lucky One (Fake): "My bicycle is just a few more panes of glass away from being upgraded, but the big shot has started selling gasoline. We all have a bright future."
An elderly woman under a streetlamp said, "These days, only motorcycles use gasoline, right? I don't think anyone in our area has upgraded to a car yet."
A strong youth makes a strong nation: "Motorcycles are a luxury for me, and I don't even dare to dream of cars!"
Internet heartthrob: "One unit of gasoline costs 100 units of plastic? Who can afford that? Mengmeng, why don't you just rob someone?"
Sun Ning: "That's right, I was just about to say that the price of gasoline is too high, and very few people can afford it."
I'm unlucky: "But I think the price is okay. Isn't gasoline much more precious than upgrade materials? And I bought a full 5 liters of gasoline, enough for my motorcycle to run for three days."
Hunting Moment: "Not everyone is as lucky as you! For us average players with average luck, 100 upgrade materials are a lot!"
Oreo: "Yeah, yeah, @Mengmeng, can you give me a discount? Otherwise, who can afford it?"
"Red Light, Green Light": "@Mengmeng, yeah, can you make it cheaper? How about 50 sets of upgrade materials?"
Witch: "But 50 servings is a lot for me, how about 30 servings?"
I was speechless: "Why don't we just give it to you for free? You think you can exchange 30 upgrade materials for 5 liters of gasoline? What are you thinking?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "That's exactly right, they practically have the word 'freeloader' engraved on their foreheads!"
An old man and his dog: "The dog upstairs is actually sympathizing with this unscrupulous businessman? Look at him, does he even listen to you? Lowering the price of gasoline would be good for all of us. What are you barking about? Or are you planning to sell gasoline too?"
Oreo: "Exactly! I don't know what benefit he gets from saying that. @Mengmeng, look at the public's outcry, everyone can't afford gasoline, why don't you just sell 20 sets of upgrade materials?"
Meng Qingyin had been keeping an eye on the trading platform, and to her surprise, all 34 portions of gasoline were sold out in just a few seconds.
This was somewhat unexpected for her.
But the constant barrage of chat messages annoyed her.
I opened the chat area and saw that it was full of people tagging her and asking her to lower the price.
When Meng Qingyin saw the sentence telling her to sell 20 sets of upgrade materials, she was so angry she laughed.
Thinking you can get 5 liters of gasoline with just 20 upgrade materials is wishful thinking.
Meng Qingyin directly posted a screenshot of the sold-out store interface in the chat area.
Mengmeng: "[Image] Gasoline sold out. Welcome to visit us again next time."
Without uttering a single word in response to the price reduction, they delivered a resounding slap in the face to those who had been clamoring for a price cut.
The information in the picture was very detailed, so everyone saw that the gasoline was sold out in just 3 seconds.
In other words, as soon as Mengmeng shouted that she was selling gasoline, people went to her store to buy it immediately.
People who truly need it will find a way to collect even 200 sets of upgrade materials, let alone 100.
Instead of clamoring for price reductions in the chat area.
Gasoline is scarce, and someone else will steal your typing time.
Who has the time to waste?
Gasoline is more than just gasoline; it is their hope for survival.
Placing your hopes on others is the most foolish thing to do; only what you firmly grasp in your own hands is truly reliable.
I am the European Emperor (fake): "Therefore, people who do great things don't waste words."
He Lian: "Boss Meng's photo is a real slap in the face for them."
You think you're so great and superior: "I was just about to say this. Instead of haggling in the chat area, they should have rushed to gather upgrade materials to buy gasoline. Now look what happened, the gasoline is sold out. Even if they bring out 200 sets of upgrade materials, they can't buy any more."
BBK: "On the contrary, I think those people are just trying to take advantage of the situation. They don't actually want to buy anything, as if doing so will show that they are clear-headed."
Lonely Square 3: "Yeah, you fools, times have changed, haven't you realized it yet? Here, strength is king, and the old saying 'you're right because you're weak' no longer applies."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "It's okay, reality will teach them a lesson. Always support Mengmeng!"
Those who had been shouting for a price reduction were stunned and remained silent for a long time.
They couldn't understand why they, who were clearly the ones in the right and representing the public, had become the target of everyone's criticism.
Meng Qingyin was about to contact "Strong Liquor to Drown Sorrows" to buy glass when she suddenly received a message from a stranger.
Bu Hui: "Hello, Mengmeng, do you have any more gasoline? I have [Space Expansion] and I'd like to trade with you."
Space expansion?
Meng Qingyin glanced at the full load of supplies behind her. They had just exchanged a lot of supplies, and the truck was almost full.
Although the law enforcement backpack has many slots, its storage time is limited, so it is still necessary to expand the system backpack.
She immediately replied to "No Regrets".
Mengmeng: "Okay."
He then initiated a transaction request.
They quickly agreed, and Meng Qingyin traded a can of gasoline for [Space Expansion].
[Space Expansion: Expands backpack space by 5 slots. Use?]
Meng Qingyin used it to expand the system backpack to 10 slots.
Now we only need 20 more panes of glass.
She opened the chat window with "drowning her sorrows in strong liquor".
Mengmeng: "Hello, do you still have any glass? I'd like to exchange 20 pieces of glass with you."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Yes, but I can only give it to you this afternoon."
Meng Qingyin was puzzled. If it was available, why could it only be given out in the afternoon?
Mengmeng: "Could you tell me why?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Because making glass takes quite a bit of time, I only have 12 pieces on hand right now, and the remaining 8 pieces won't be finished until this afternoon."
Mengmeng: "So you got hold of the glass manufacturing blueprints? What materials are used to make the glass?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I just happened to come across some quartz sand, so I shoveled up several boxes. What about you? What blueprints have you gotten?"
Mengmeng: "Tissue."
But she didn't drive it; Ah Chen gave it to her.
Drowning sorrows in strong liquor: "...That's quite practical too."
Meng Qingyin twitched the corner of her mouth.
Mengmeng: "What supplies do you want to exchange for the glass? Or the gauze?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "No need, my wound has healed, it's just very itchy. Do you have any anti-itch medicine?"
Meng Qingyin was somewhat surprised that his wound had healed in just two days.
After thinking about it, I realized that perhaps he had gotten some healing medicine.
The medicine has miraculous effects; healing wounds is just one of its insignificant functions.
Meng Qingyin opened the first-aid kit and looked inside. There was no anti-itch medicine, but she found a bottle of mentholatum.
