Duan Linzhou glanced at the mint in the person's hand, then turned to look at the patch of land where the mint was planted. Seeing that the two mint plants were still planted there safely, Duan Linzhou reached out to take the mint from Lin Hu's hand.
[Ding! The system has detected plants that can withstand this fog disaster. Do you wish to plant them?]
A notification popped up on Duan Linzhou's screen, which shocked him as well.
In their previous life, after the extreme cold disaster ended, their district was merged into District 33. Then, during the second great fog disaster, Mint didn't appear, and everyone stayed indoors. Many people starved to death during this time. After arriving on the island, they couldn't eat and didn't have the strength to fight the mutated beasts, resulting in the death of most of them. Then, during the next disaster, the district was merged into District 54.
"I just received a system task to maintain the population of the area at no less than 50%. This is thanks to the system. I still have a lot left, but the system has cleared all my crystal cores."
Lin Hu couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only blame the survival system.
1097: What a liar! Well done!
Survival System: ...Thanks for the invitation.
"How much was deducted?" Duan Linzhou asked with a smile, stroking Lin Hu's hair as he looked at his pained expression.
"I don't know either. There's a lot, I don't know how much, anyway, it's all gone." What Lin Hu wanted to say was that he didn't have the money to pay you back right now.
"Then I'll give you these crystal cores." Duan Linzhou said, and a small mountain of crystal cores appeared beside the two of them, ranging from level one to level three, with a few level four ones mixed in.
"No need, no need, I haven't paid back the crystal cores I owe you yet," Lin Hu quickly waved his hand in refusal.
"No need to return it, I gave it voluntarily." Duan Linzhou said, his tone softening as he moved closer to Lin Hu.
Before Lin Hu could react, the two were already so close that Lin Hu had to look up at the other person. But his throat felt like it was blocked. They stared at each other for a long time before Lin Hu finally looked away, his face slightly flushed.
"I don't want to." After saying that, Lin Hu walked away, leaving Duan Linzhou alone behind him watching his back.
The two planned to continue modifying the RV. During this time, Lin Hu put aside his strange feelings and continued to talk about business with Duan Linzhou.
“Planting this mint on the raft can help protect against some of the poisonous fog. The shops in the trading market haven’t been upgraded yet, and each item can only be listed in 500 units. How about you and your parents and friends help sell them, and I’ll take 30% of the profits as a reward?”
Lin Hu could discuss things directly with them, but he was afraid that involving their interests would alienate them, so he planned to have Duan Linzhou act as a peacemaker.
“Okay, I’ll talk to them.” Duan Linzhou said, putting down the high-grade wooden board in his hand. He was already quite sweaty from working, so he sat down directly on the ground.
I opened my friends list and sent private messages to each of them, explaining the situation.
The group quickly replied to Duan Linzhou and then went to tell Lin Hu the same thing. Lin Hu gave each of them a seedling to plant as a preventative measure, and also sent seedlings to his friends, saying that he wanted to sell them, and they could sell them the next day.
Actually, he only has a little over 500 plants left and no more crystal cores to buy new ones, which is why he said that.
He also put down his work and went to Boss Zhou's shop to put 500 mint plants on the shelves. Each person was limited to one plant, and each plant was priced at 120 first-level crystal cores.
Yes, it's an auspicious number!
I spent another level 3 crystal core to pin the shop to the top for 24 hours, and even thoughtfully noted the benefits of the mint seedlings. Finally, I sent a message in the chat area, telling everyone to check the trading area.
Because it was the top featured item, it was the first item that appeared when people entered the chat. Many people sent messages in the chat saying they didn't believe it, but they had already secretly checked it out.
Meanwhile, Cheng Yuan and her group were also controlling the comments in the chat area, posting photos of mint seedlings and praising them to the skies.
Having just completed an island landing, most players have accumulated a considerable number of crystal cores and received land as a system reward. Although some players did not perform well and only received 1x1 plots of yellow land, they were still able to plant crops.
Soon, many people bought the mint seedlings and planted them on their rafts, sharing their experiences in the chat area.
The mint seedlings are being sold steadily, but not very quickly. Many people are probably still hesitant, afraid that if they buy them and they don't see any effect, they will waste the crystals they have worked so hard to earn.
Lin Hu stopped paying attention to the transaction details and planned to look at them after dinner. He turned off the light screen and continued nailing wooden boards to the inner wall of the RV. After a day, the two finished nailing and sanding the inner wall of the RV and then went to make dinner.
Radish and beef soup, beef and scrambled eggs, steamed shrimp and eggs, and braised chicken with scallions—it's still very light. Lin Hu should quietly prepare the meal early tomorrow morning and see how the other party tries to defend against him.
After finishing his meal, Lin Hu settled down on the sofa to review the transactions.
It's already sold out, and many people who didn't get to buy it left messages asking him to restock.
After exchanging all 7,000+ Level 1 crystal cores he received for Level 3 crystal cores, Lin Hu bought nearly 2,000 mint plants and put 500 of them on the Linghu Department Store. This time, he didn't pin them to the top of the list. After explaining to the world chat which store had them, a group of people rushed into the store, and they sold out in less than a minute.
Lin Hu bought two thousand mint plants from the new batch of crystal cores he had acquired, and had Duan Linzhou put five hundred of them on the shelves at the same time.
With 500 plants remaining, Lin Hu sent a message to Cheng Yuan to inform her of the situation and to discuss a 20/80 split with the other party.
Lin Hu posted the names of the shops of several people in the trading market to the chat area. In less than ten minutes, the people sent all the crystal cores they had obtained to Lin Hu. Lin Hu then sent back the profits he had promised to them.
In the end, they harvested nearly six thousand level-three crystal cores, all of which were used to buy mint seedlings. He bought them all five days before the natural disaster, trying to ensure that everyone had one.
