Chapter 79 The Deal
"Master, there is a disaster on the road ahead. Should we stop?" The starry sky display screen reacted immediately to the appearance of the fireball.
Parking is unsafe now; who can be sure that a fireball won't fall where you park?
"Don't stop, just go around to the left and be careful to avoid the fireballs."
After saying this, Li Sijing thought about it and felt uneasy, so she gave another instruction.
"From now on, I will always pay attention to the ground, and I will take control of the steering wheel when necessary."
Since the appearance of the starry sky, it has performed admirably. It's not that she doesn't trust the starry sky, but the current situation is really dangerous.
In such a critical moment, she still trusted herself more, even though giving verbal instructions would be a beat too slow.
Only when she has her hands on the steering wheel can she react immediately when a crisis occurs.
She stared intently at the road ahead, her expression serious. This was the first time she had looked at the highway with such tension since the advent of the starry sky.
Just as she rounded the fireball in front of her, Li Sijing suddenly noticed a fireball overhead, hurtling towards her.
Just as they were about to collide, and she was about to make a move, the car, controlled by Xingkong, instantly increased its speed.
The car lurched forward a considerable distance before the fireball hit, narrowly avoiding the danger.
Before the car could slow down, another fireball suddenly fell in front of her car, igniting the ground directly in front of it.
Li Sijing made a sharp turn, narrowly avoiding the road ahead, and continued on her way.
From then on, Li Sijing dared not relax for a moment, keeping her eyes fixed on the road ahead, always ready.
As fireballs continued to fall, more than half of the road ahead had been destroyed.
If Li Sijing hadn't been proficient in racing skills, there were several places that were too dangerous for her to pass, based on her previous skills.
Just as Li Sijing was tense and had no time to pay attention to anything else, the fireballs that had been falling from the sky suddenly disappeared.
Has it stopped?
Because she was still unsure, Li Sijing didn't dare to let go of the steering wheel.
After waiting for about ten minutes, and seeing that no more fireballs were falling, Li Sijing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The road ahead has been destroyed by the raging fireballs, but as long as the fireballs stop, the starry sky can clear it.
She slowly loosened her stiff hands, gave some more detailed instructions, and then handed the steering wheel to Xingkong.
I checked the time; it was already 10:40. The fireball started at 10:00 and ended around 10:30.
It was only half an hour? It felt like several hours had passed. The time had been too unbearable, and she didn't want to think about it anymore.
After relaxing, Li Sijing realized that she was completely soaked in sweat inside the car, which was kept at a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
After taking a big gulp of ice water infused with lemon, Li Sijing felt a headache coming on; it seemed she needed to replenish her energy.
I ate some raisins and hawthorns, but they didn't seem to help much. After searching around again, I finally pulled out the canned yellow peaches I had earlier.
I ate half of that huge can of food in one go before I felt a little better.
She put the rest away, then took out some sunflower seeds, cracked them open in the regional channel, and prepared to see how the others were doing.
"Is this fireball from the sky the end?"
"The heavenly fire is finally over. There shouldn't be any more, right?"
"This has already taken half my life. If it happens again, do I even have a chance to survive?"
"Damn, that was close! I almost got hit by the fireball."
"Waaaaah, does anyone have a car repair card? My car was burned."
"My car accidentally drove into melted asphalt, and now the tires are ruined and I can't move it. What should I do?"
"Hehe, I'm so lucky. Because the engine was damaged, I stayed in the same spot and was completely unharmed."
"Really? This guy is incredibly lucky!"
"Now that you mention it, I'm quite tempted."
"I'm tempted too. Maybe I should just stop here and wait for the disaster to end!"
"Yes, the road is too dangerous. We don't need the reward for reaching the finish line!"
"Holy crap, look at the numbers! Nearly a thousand people just died! That's terrifying!"
Upon seeing this, Li Sijing quickly looked at the number of people on the screen.
5011/10000.
Of the original 10,000 people on the regional channel, half have died.
There are only 5,011 people left? She had been hoping that there would be 5,000 people left after the natural disaster ended.
It's only a little past 10:40, and the natural disaster has only been going on for less than two hours, yet it has already achieved what she wanted.
A message from a friend interrupted Li Sijing's thoughts. She couldn't help but wonder who was calling her at this time and what they wanted.
Upon clicking, I was surprised to see it was Liu Yizhou: "The lollipop worked well, do you have any more?"
More than twenty lollipops, and they're all gone in just one night? No way!
Upon closer thought, Li Sijing realized it was impossible. As for why he had candy in his hand and still wanted to buy more, he probably wanted to store more.
Li Sijing didn't care about any of this. Since the other party wanted it, the lollipop was useless to her, so a transaction was inevitable.
She counted and found she had 92 lollipops left. Last time, the price was 5 jin of beef for 20 lollipops.
After thinking it over, Li Sijing decided to trade for a round number, while keeping about ten lollipops for herself in case of emergency.
"Okay, same price as before: 80 lollipops for 20 jin of beef."
He immediately sent the transaction request, and Liu Yizhou on the other end clicked "agree" instantly.
Just as she was about to close the chat, she suddenly caught sight of the watermelon next to her out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes lit up and an idea immediately came to her.
"Didn't you want a watermelon before? I have some now, do you want some?"
I remember the first watermelon that came out of the resource box. Liu Yizhou originally wanted it, but she kept it because she couldn't bear to part with it.
This time she was going to trade two watermelons. She originally planned to cut them into pieces and sell them retail, but that method was a bit troublesome.
If we could find a big client like Liu Yizhou and sell the whole thing, it would save us a lot of trouble.
"Yes, how would you like to exchange it?" Liu Yizhou didn't hesitate at all, it seems he's quite obsessed with watermelons!
After thinking for a moment, Li Sijing offered a price: "How about a one-to-one exchange? The watermelon weighs 5 jin, so I'll trade you 5 jin of beef."
Although meat can fill your stomach, her watermelon can also cool you down! This price should be acceptable!
“Okay, you can cut the beef yourself.” Liu Yizhou was as straightforward as ever.
Li Sijing immediately beamed with joy. Just as she was calculating how much beef the other party still had with her, Liu Yizhou sent another message.
"By the way, do you still have ice cream? I'll trade it for the same price as last time."
Li Sijing glanced at the freezer and said she was keeping all the ice cream for herself! But she still couldn't keep it!
“Okay!” Li Sijing said, and directly traded half of the ice cream over.
“You originally had 85 jin of beef with me, and you traded it for lollipops, watermelon, and ice cream, which took 30 jin in total. So now you have 55 jin left, right?”
"Hmm, it seems what you said before is about to come true," Liu Yizhou replied.
I remembered that I had said before that I would keep all the beef he left with me, and I'm almost there!
After the transaction with Liu Yizhou ended, it was already eleven o'clock.
Li Sijing put another 50 ice cubes on the market, and this time, before she could close the trading area, all 50 ice cubes were sold out.
This is much faster than the first time; it seems quite a few people were waiting there!
