Chapter 8 Second Update
After some friendly interaction with No. 1, Yu Zhu started to get down to business.
She scanned the entire raft, calculating how big it should be. After a few seconds, she had an idea in her mind.
There are 20 plastics on hand, 20 plastics will be purchased, 40 wooden boards will be consumed, and 106 wooden boards will remain.
Making a raft
Consumption: Wood x40, Plastic x40
Obtain: Raft x20
Remaining: Wooden Planks x66
After building the 20 rafts one by one, the site was expanded from the original 4x4 blocks to 6x6 blocks. It looked much more spacious and people felt more comfortable.
Facts have proved that No. 1's charm is unmatched. Yu Zhu had just expanded the raft when someone came to ask about it.
Fu Wanwan: Boss Yu, I saw the water purifiers you were selling. Why don't you just sell water?
Yu Zhu knew what she meant. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that as long as she could master the formula, she could make a fortune just by selling water, just like the simple grill before. But the system didn't allow it. She could only purify 1,100ml of water a day, which was not enough for her own use, let alone sell it.
【Yu Zhu: The system won’t let me.】
【Fu Wanwan: Eh?】
Yu Zhu: If you want to buy it, think carefully. It takes six wooden planks per hour to remove 100ml of water.
[Fu Wanwan: Wow, this water purifier has a recipe?]
[Yu Zhu: Not only that, it only eats for 5 hours a day, and one person can only keep two at most.]
[Fu Wanwan: He's almost eating more than me. Isn't this like buying an ancestor?]
Yu Zhu also thought so. This was the reason why she didn't sell the simple water purifier at the beginning. If someone without some money bought it, it would be a hot potato. Of course, she wouldn't lose money. There are gains and losses in everything. It all depends on what the buyer wants more.
Currently, no one else is selling in the trading area. They are probably still struggling to find loopholes and are still thinking about making a fortune by selling water... But most of them are at the stage where even burning wood hurts. They have finally come up with such a useful formula, but they don't know how to use it. After all, not everyone is as wealthy and decisive as Yu Zhu.
Yu Zhu had clearly understood the situation. With the game's current state, how could she expect to find a bug? Even if you found one, they'd fix it the moment you did. Fortunately, she didn't bother looking for one and just started selling it!
On the other side, Fu Wanwan was sitting on the raft and counting the profits and losses on her fingers. It took her a long time to figure out the accounts. It turned out that all the wooden boards she picked up during the day were not used for anything and were fed to this simple water purifier!
If she sells water, 100ml can be sold for 20 planks. Taking away the 6 planks consumed, it seems like she's making a net profit of 14 planks per bottle. But why did she buy a water purifier? Of course, it's for drinking water. Why would she drink water if she already sells it? Is she more interested in money than life? That's not acceptable!
In short, after a moment of anxiety, Fu Wanwan decided to bite the bullet and buy it. The reason was simple: the water that came out of the barrel was too unstable. If she was unlucky and failed to produce water for several consecutive times, it would be very uncomfortable.
So, this water purifier must be bought, everything is for survival.
At a certain moment, Yu Zhu seemed to understand the purpose of the game. A simple water purifier, like a simple bed, is a necessity for survival at sea. It is controlled by the game, is expensive, and has many restrictions on use.
Unlike simple grills, water resources are far more scarce than food at sea. Even simple grills only provide grilling services, and buyers have to provide the ingredients themselves, but water purifiers directly purify water.
If water resources can be sold in large quantities, the numerous and complicated channels involved will definitely muddy the market. By then, water will still not be available in the trading area. Water will only be controlled by certain people, traded privately, and sold at sky-high prices. It will be difficult to curb in a short period of time, and it will become a vicious cycle in the long run.
In other words, the game's intention is to let players sell water purifiers rather than water. The price of the water purifier is also very meaningful. It is neither cheap nor very expensive. If anyone is tempted to ask for a higher price, it will not be sold.
The game does this to preserve the living space for more people, just like the fixed selling price in the trading area, which in turn suppresses the interests and development of some people.
Yu Zhu doesn't care anyway. She is an easy-going person. She will sell whatever she can. Any profit is also profit.
The simple water purifier did not disappoint her. Anyone with a bit of common sense knows the importance of fresh water. Without a doubt, it was a big hit. However, it also caused a lot of complaints because of the large amount of wooden boards required. But complaints aside, people still had to buy it. A little more protection means a little more hope.
[Feng Hao: Boss Yu is awesome! Having a water purifier is a life of ease!]
Luan Haixiang: What a rip-off! Why do we need so many wooden planks?
Hang Hui: Oh, think positively. At least you don't have to worry about dying of thirst!
Luan Haixiang: Haha, thank you. I'll consider it carefully if I want to buy it.
…
Cai Da: What the hell is this water purifier? Living on wood?
Qi Boyi: If you don't want it, you can give it to someone in need.
[Qian Caiyue: I hate this kind of thing you guys do the most*. You talk a lot, but you grab things faster than anyone else!]
Lezhi: Exactly! He's got more tricks than honeycomb briquettes! I still haven't gotten one yet!
Luo Xincheng: It's time to test your hand speed. You young people can't do it. I've already grabbed two!
[Qiu Jun:??? I was wondering why I couldn't get any, turns out you bought them all! @Luo Xincheng]
Huo Jin: Boss, please work harder and release more new products. My kids are anxious to buy them. @Yuzhu
…
While reading the news, Yu Zhu kept putting simple water purifiers on the shelves, selling them one by one.
However, she found that these newly manufactured water purifiers did not trigger the Easter eggs, as if they were soulless replicas, but it did not affect their use.
Although the buyer's information could not be seen, someone still "exposed himself". Seeing Luo Xincheng saying in the chat area that he had grabbed two units, Yu Zhu sent him a private message, telling him that the water purifier had usage restrictions and that buying two was enough, and more would be useless.
Luo Xincheng stopped at the right time and understood why Yu Zhu had asked him to change the water before. It was because this water purifier had too many rules.
The chat area is quite lively because of the sale of water purifiers, but currently only a small number of people can afford them. Most people can only work hard to collect materials and watch the fun.
Seeing Yu Zhu running a barbecue business and selling simple beds and water purifiers, the more he looked at her, the redder her eyes became, and she was almost getting conjunctivitis.
[Yun Jing: How come my luck is so good? The recipes I draw are all so useful.]
You Yang: I really envy my sister. I only managed to get a bucket and haven't opened anything yet...
Zeng Yi: I want the recipe too. It would be so spicy if you could share one with me.
[Dai Tingqin: Then you need to practice more. You can't even get the bucket, and you still want the formula? It's better to just fall asleep.]
Luo Xincheng: This young man has a great sleep. He can even send messages in his dreams. What's going on? Did he dream that someone sent him a recipe?
…
Liu Jinlong: Putting aside other things, it's true that we all have different fates. I don't know how many water purifiers I've sold in just this short while.
[Xiang Hong: Boss Yu must have worked in this industry before. He's a business genius, so professional.]
[Qiu Jun:? I remember Boss Yu was a descendant of an imperial chef. He must be running a hotel, right?]
Le Zhi: You guys have quite the imagination. If I were to ask you, Boss Yu's hotel would definitely be an international chain!
…
People in the chat area spoke freely, and no one knew where the posts had gone astray, but it couldn't hide the fact that Yu Zhu was selling well.
This scene undoubtedly stung the eyes of some people, especially those who also had the formula for a simple water purifier. They were so upset that they had a heart attack. They were still trying to find a way to sell water, but Yu Zhu directly extinguished their hopes and cut off their supply of funds. Who could bear this!
Yu Zhu is trying to gain both money and fame, but can those of them who drew the formula first just watch helplessly?
Due to the urgency of the situation, these people had to sell together in order to seize the market. Soon, everyone discovered that there were many new simple water purifiers on the shelves in the trading area, but the business was bleak. These people combined might not sell as much as Yu Zhu alone. Everyone on the raft was so angry that they wanted to trample the water purifiers to pieces.
Yu Zhu, who had attracted another wave of hatred, had already made a lot of money. Seeing that more people were buying, she didn't sell them one by one. After all, people are alive, and she is not stupid. She still has other things to do.
With the materials, Yu Zhu simply made dozens of pieces and hung them up, set them up for automatic sales, and then went to exercise. She punched very vigorously, leaving the Simple Water Purifier No. 1 next to her stunned. Her punches were much more vigorous than the one she had done in the morning, and each punch was powerful.
This person is not only good at kicking, but also has a very strong fist. If I had known that she had such skills, Simple Water Purifier No. 1 would have resolutely played dead to the end, and would not have bothered to argue. But it's too late to say anything now.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Sad.
While exercising, Yu Zhu did not forget to add new firewood to the simple water purifier No. 2. During this time, she also greeted No. 1 to avoid people saying that she had forgotten the old one and had a new one.
Yu Zhu: "You're just sitting there doing nothing, aren't you bored?"
Seeing that there was no movement, Yu Zhu felt bored, so he flicked No. 1's head with his finger and continued practicing while humming a song.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Devil.
Simple Water Purifier No. 2 (Cheerful): You only dare to gossip behind people's backs.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Who? Who's talking?
Simple water purifier No. 2: Shaboyi.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: ???
Simple Bed (quietly): Poof!
Easy Grill (optimistic): Hahaha.
On the other side, Yu Zhu was unaware of the joy here. After practicing for a while, he was covered in sweat, so he went to take a shower and washed his clothes. Every step was arranged in an orderly manner.
At 11:15 PM, Yu Zhu, dressed in a fresh outfit, sat on a simple bed, wiping his hair while counting his supplies. As his inventory became fuller and fuller, his mood became happier and happier.
She sold a total of 5 simple beds (including the daytime), 30 simple water purifiers, 3 hours of grilling, and 6 hours of water purification that night. After deducting costs and consumption, her inventory updated in real time to: 312 planks (+246), 273 palm leaves (+230), 260 plastics, 30 nails (+15), 2 fragments, 38.5g salt (+21), 600ml water, 1300g raw fish, 200g cooked fish, 350g spicy Maoxuewang self-heating hot pot...
Well, today is still a day full of harvest.
Yu Zhu lay on the bed very comfortably, with a smile on his face even when he was asleep.
However, an hour after she fell asleep, the private messages were flashing red dots like crazy.
There is a limit on the number of private messages you can send to people you are not following. Only people you follow each other with can send so many messages, but you will have to deal with all of this when you wake up tomorrow.
Yu Zhu always turns on the Do Not Disturb mode when she sleeps. Nothing in the world is bigger than her sleeping.
This person has gone to the sea to survive, what else can he not overcome?
No.
so--
good evening.
