Duan Linzhou made a brief contact and then immediately left.
As they parted, Lin Hu subconsciously glanced around, while Ling Jiuqi and Ao Jinjin quickly turned their heads away, pretending not to notice what had happened.
Lin Hu: ...
Looking back at the shore, he saw that after Qinglong Island was upgraded to level four, it gained a raft storage function, and many people chose to live in the dormitories, leaving Duan Bohai to store the rafts.
Residents on the island don't need to spend crystal cores to store them, but those from outside the island do.
The number of crystal nuclei needed for storage depends on the size of the raft and the length of the storage period.
Lin Hu looked around and found the place empty, which put his mind at ease.
"What are you doing! It would be so embarrassing if someone saw us." Lin Hu pulled his hand back, displeased.
Duan Linzhou knew that Lin Hu was concerned about his image, and he had just lost control of himself.
"Your hairstyle is really cool," Duan Linzhou said, and Lin Hu's happiness was visibly evident.
Who doesn't like being complimented on their looks?
Lin Hu didn't argue with him, went back to her room to wash her hands, and then came out to eat.
In the following days, Lin Hu spent his time researching assorted flavored candies and even made a lot of weird-flavored candies, which became the last items to be sold in Lin Hu's shop.
He also successfully opened a small shop, though it was mostly open only in the mornings.
It wasn't that he was being lazy; it was just that everyone was too poor. They had just arrived on Qinglong Island and lacked everything.
The products he put on sale at 9 a.m. are sold out before noon.
Even Xi Yuan's bed frame shop next door was overflowing with orders every day, and gradually it became necessary to make reservations. Xi Yuan didn't dare to stay in the shop for long and stayed at home on the raft every day making bed frames.
Everyone else also opened physical stores, and as Lin Hu requested, they raised the prices of everything in their shops in the trading market.
They even specifically noted that the physical store is on Qinglong Island, and the price is cheaper than in the trading market.
This not only increased interaction among other people on the island, but also made outsiders want to join Qinglong Island.
In the offline physical store, Lin Hu also signed a breakfast machine contract with Sun Xiaoxiao, making her responsible for making breakfast. The contract was split 30/70, with Lin Hu only receiving a small share, and Sun Xiaoxiao having to buy the ingredients herself. He thoughtfully bought her a roasted sweet potato machine.
Lin Hu spent only 299 Level 3 Crystal Cores on the system mall to buy the sweet potato roasting machine, and then resold it to Sun Xiaoxiao for 399.
Of course, Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't give that much all at once, so she could only pay in installments.
Liu Xu continued to manage the fruit, and thanks to the extreme heat, it became the first fruit to sell well among them, apart from Cheng Yuan, who ran a small supermarket selling groceries.
Because he feared that others would not have enough crystal cores to make a living, Duan Bohai also put his mercenaries to use.
The islanders can hire a few people to accompany them on hunting trips to kill marine life.
During this time, marine life will occasionally quiet down for a while, which is when they will make their move.
Meanwhile, more and more people joined the island, mostly from newly merged areas, with strength ranging from level three to four.
Because of the addition of this group of people, the underground auction house, which originally took two or three weeks to build, was greatly reduced to less than two weeks.
Time flew by and it was time to go to the island. Because of the protection on Qinglong Island, Lin Hu did not go with them this time.
Duan Bohai, Jiang Qiaomei, and Wen Bozhi also stayed behind to plan the first auction after returning from the island.
Lin Hu also picked the mature snow lotus and stored it in the warehouse.
Ling Jiuqi was taken to the island by Duan Linzhou this time, and fortunately, she was able to mark the location of a new batch of snow lotuses on the snow mountain in Linhu.
It's still three flowers. Lin Hu will definitely take good care of them this time and try to win all three.
The three of them had two days to plan how to arrange accommodation and meals for the guests.
You can only use a summoning card to come here. The summoning card is valid for 24 hours. Food and lodging must be arranged for those who come here and those who want to stay.
Accommodation is free, but food is not.
The auction venue is underground, and a 20-story building was built above it. It was originally intended to be a hotel, but due to time constraints, it is still just a rough shell and not yet completed.
Fortunately, there was a construction team among those who didn't come to the island with us. It took two days for everyone to work together to arrange the doors and windows for the floors below the 9th floor.
When Duan Linzhou and his group returned laden with their loot, everyone spent a day arranging the furniture in their rooms before announcing the news of the auction.
[Duan Bohai: I am the owner of Qinglong Island. I recently acquired a treasure and plan to auction it off. Those interested can contact me and participate using summoning cards. Special thanks to Boss Zhou for sending 100 Triple Candies, 50 Orange Smoke, 20 Bomb Pomegranates... to our auction house for auction. Time: Tonight, 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Everyone is welcome!]
Everyone in the chat area simultaneously exclaimed: 【?!!!!!!!!!!】
[Lin Qianyi: Holy crap! ...
[Bu Xiangxin: I'm speechless with shock. I can only bow down in utter admiration. I'm in awe!!]
[Niu Pi: Holy crap, who the hell has such fast hands? Who stole the summon card I just saw?]
[Li Suzhen: Ugh! I saw it too! Someone snatched it all up in no time!]
[Wu Xiuying: I'm willing to pay a high price to anyone who has extra summons!]
...
Lin Hu looked at the comments above, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
He actually had a lot of goods on hand, but the reason he didn't upload them to the trading market in large quantities was to wait for this moment.
Even though the auction price might be much higher, it's considered lucky to snag one normally.
Moreover, even if the price is high, he can resell large quantities of these fruits. He knows some people are secretly making double the profit from them.
Lin Hu doesn't restrict this behavior; as long as it's not brought into the open, he's too lazy to care.
