Chapter 261 Distance Creates Beauty
Zhou Haihai believed he had found a loophole in Qingfeng's words and couldn't wait to send a message to retaliate: "@PlanterQingfeng, you said you helped Mengmeng make special soil? That means you know the special formula for special soil very well. Since you know the formula, why didn't you tell us? Why did you only tell Mengmeng so that she could make money from it? Your actions will inevitably discourage other players."
He knew that he had to tie his own interests to those of all the players so that they would fight for him.
As long as he sticks to this point, he can definitely get the players to his side. After all, if they win, they will know the recipe for making special soil and won't have to spend money to buy it anymore!
Anyone who isn't stupid would know whose side to take.
Zhou Haihai's guess was correct; his words quickly gained the approval of a small group of players.
Wooden Bumpkin: "Holy crap, Hai-ge's words have woken me up from my dream! Yeah, @PlanterQingfeng, why won't you tell us the formula for making special soil?"
Recipient: "Yeah, what gives Mengmeng the right? Qingfeng, since you have the formula for special soil, you should just publish it openly. Why only tell Mengmeng and let her take the opportunity to make money off us?"
Peach Strawberry Tea: "Qingfeng's actions are indeed a bit... biased and inconsiderate."
Chen Gao: "Hehe, I think Qingfeng and Mengmeng are in cahoots, trying every means to make money off us. What kind of planting master is he? He's just blinded by money."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "It's you bunch of sour chickens again! Aren't you all a bit too possessive? Why are you so concerned about other people's recipes?"
Planter Qingfeng: "@Zhou Haihai @WoodenGeda @Recipient @TaoTaoStrawberryTea @ChenGao, am I your mother? Why should I tell you my recipe for free? If you want the recipe, you can buy it with money. I never tolerate freeloaders."
Wooden Block: "Heh, so what if you're going to spend money? You didn't even ask us a question. Are you sure we can't afford it?"
Upon seeing this sentence, Zhou Haihai angrily cursed. This "blockhead" was indeed as his name suggested, incredibly stupid!
He originally intended to use the players' power to force Qingfeng to hand over the formula for the special soil free of charge.
But with "Wooden Bump" causing such a commotion, it's simply impossible!
Indeed, it's not the formidable opponent you should fear, but the incompetent teammate!
Qingfeng seized the opportunity to counterattack after hearing his teammate's words.
Planter Qingfeng: "Yeah, you poor bastards just can't afford it."
Wooden Bumpkin: "You! Qingfeng, you're supposed to be a planting master, how can you be so mean? How are we just poor bastards?"
Planter Qingfeng: "Ten thousand gold coins. My special soil formula is worth ten thousand gold coins."
Wooden Bumpkin: "...What kind of lousy recipe costs 10,000 gold coins? I don't believe Mengmeng can come up with 10,000 gold coins in one go!"
Recipient: "Exactly! Master Qingfeng, aren't you asking for an exorbitant price? Even if you don't want to sell us the special soil formula, you don't have to quote such an outrageous price, do you?"
Planter Qingfeng: "Hehe, you're quite self-aware. By the way, let me tell you all, Mengmeng really didn't spend that much money. She's my mentor, and I'm willing to give her the formula for free. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Chen Gao: "Isn't this blatantly giving us special treatment? Is this fair to us?"
Planter Qingfeng: "Fairness? Who told you I'm a fair person? I love to be special. If I don't give the formula to my close friends, am I supposed to give it to you few sour chickens? Why don't you all just publicly acknowledge me as your mother? That way, if I'm in a good mood, I might give you some special treatment."
Chen Gao: "You! You're absolutely unreasonable!"
Recipient: "Everyone saw it, right? This Qingfeng is so arrogant that he looks down on everyone and doesn't take us seriously at all!"
Wooden Bumpkin: "Yeah, she speaks so harshly and viciously, how can she be a planter?"
Planter Qingfeng: "You're getting angry because you can't win an argument?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Hahaha, I acknowledge Master Qingfeng's attack power."
The rude charging head said, "I've disliked Zhou Haihai for a long time. I'm secretly pleased that someone can silence him."
Qingmang, who loves roasted pork belly: "Those people are really funny. They actually tried to morally blackmail Master Qingfeng, but Master Qingfeng openly admitted that he likes to be special. Haha, they immediately shut up. Come to think of it, it's his own recipe, and it's his freedom to give it to whomever he wants. Who are they to interfere? They were the ones who started the rumors about the fake recipe, and now they're the ones who want to get the recipe for free."
Lonely Square 3: "@Planter Qingfeng, Mom, do you still remember me? I'm your long-lost son!"
Chen Mutou, who likes squid: "No, you mean square root of three..."
Planter Qingfeng: "@LonelySquareRootThree, an abacus bead hit my face."
Wearing a crown and holding a sword: "Hahahaha, the square root of three recognizing its mother is hilarious: 100%! Master Qingfeng sees through it all and says it's hilarious: 10000%!"
Yu Yu: "I never expected Master Qingfeng to be so interesting. I love him!"
Chen Yuanhan: "No, I thought you were all just watching the show, so I thought I'd take advantage of the chaos to buy some special soil, but I didn't expect there wouldn't be any left! Is this how you people behave?"
"I'm an idiot, don't vote for me!" (Ahhh, I'm going to fight you sneaky dirt buyers!!!)
"..."
After Zhou Haihai and others made such a fuss, no one questioned the authenticity of the special soil anymore—just kidding, Master Qingfeng personally certified it, so how could it be fake?
In just a few minutes, all the special soil that Meng Qingyin's shop had been stockpiling was sold out.
Meng Qingyin said solemnly, "Thank you, Qingfeng. We owe you a lot this time."
Qingfeng, however, didn't care at all, and looked very relaxed. "It's been a long time since I've had such a pleasant conversation with someone. I really miss it."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
During this time, he had been treating her with utmost respect, and Meng Qingyin had almost forgotten Qingfeng's sharp tongue.
Judging from her expression, she seemed to be enjoying it?
Forget it, as long as Qingfeng doesn't say those things that would make my blood pressure spike, I don't care who she's talking to.
Moreover, those who were rendered speechless were people like Zhou Haihai, so she was naturally happy to see it happen, and even felt that Qingfeng was still too gentle.
After this battle, Qingfeng's unpretentious and straightforward personality unexpectedly won the favor of some players.
Of course, Qingfeng himself didn't care much about these things.
In her words, "I'm not a celebrity. Do you think their liking me can feed me or make me drink water? If they really want to support me, they can just send me money."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
She'd better not let those players who like Qingfeng know about her current "snobbish" face.
Indeed, distance makes the heart grow fonder.
