Luo Xinglan had been keeping an eye on the chat channel.
When she saw Liu Mingfa's message, she was also reminded of her own smelting furnace.
The furnace has a lid, so there's no need to worry about the flames being extinguished by the seawater. Moreover, the heat emitted by the burning furnace is very warm, making it perfect for warming oneself by the fire.
If those who haven't built houses yet all had a furnace for warmth, they could easily survive until sunrise.
But……
Now that everyone is short of wood, what should we use as fuel for the smelting furnace?
Luo Xinglan quickly went to the living room to check the box, and to her surprise, she actually found it: weeds!
I just don't know how long a clump of weeds can burn.
She immediately took out all the weeds she had and threw a clump of them into the furnace.
The smelting furnace is burning; it can burn for 5 minutes.
A clump of weeds can burn for five minutes.
Luo Xinglan glanced at the time; it was 5:30, and there was still an hour and a half until sunrise at 7:00.
In an hour and a half, she needs a maximum of 18 clumps of weeds. She has 6 clumps of weeds left. Others probably have more weeds.
Luo Xinglan immediately shouted in the world channel: "Anyone who has blueprints for a smelting furnace, hurry up and make one! It can keep us warm!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than someone said:
"I've had a [Smelting Furnace] for a long time, but without wood, I can't keep warm at all! It's completely useless!"
Luo Xinglan continued, "The smelting furnace can be fueled not only with wood, but also with weeds. I just tried it, and a clump of weeds can burn for 5 minutes! Everyone must have weeds. Burning weeds can last for more than an hour, and things might get better when the sun comes out!"
After a while, the person replied with delight, "It's true! So weeds can be used as fuel. Thank you, Luo Xinglan. If it weren't for you, I would still be sitting here guarding the smelting furnace, not knowing how to use it!"
Others asked:
"Really? A smelting furnace can burn weeds? I have so many weeds here!"
"But I don't have the blueprints for a smelting furnace! How do I make a smelting furnace?"
"Any experts want to add a smelting furnace to the store? I really need one!"
"Boss Luo Xinglan, do you sell smelting furnaces?"
"Yes, boss, please sell us the smelting furnace! We really need it!"
More and more people were begging Luo Xinglan to sell the smelting furnace, which almost made Chen Xiaodong furious.
He was originally planning to make a fortune using the smelting furnace, but who knew that Luo Xinglan would suddenly interfere?
No, he needs to get the smelting furnace set up immediately.
Chen Xiaodong directly put the smelting furnace on the market, priced at 100 gold coins each.
To make sure others wouldn't see it, he also announced in the world chat: "I just put 10 smelting furnaces up for sale. If you're interested, go check them out! Limited quantity, first come, first served!"
When others saw his post, they immediately went to the store to check it out, but there were too many monks and not enough morsels, and the 10 smelting furnaces were snapped up as soon as they were put on the shelves.
"Holy crap, who among you is so fast? I was still debating whether to buy it or not, and it was gone in a second?"
"100 gold coins for a smelting furnace? Chen Xiaodong, why don't you just rob someone?"
"Yeah, how many supplies do I need to sell to get 100 gold coins?"
"Chen Xiaodong, do you still have any smelting furnaces? Put them on the shelves quickly, I want to buy one!"
Chen Xiaodong didn't care whether others criticized him or not; he just focused on making smelting furnaces and putting them on the shelves.
He doesn't care if people criticize him; it's not like it will cost him anything. It's more important to make money in his pocket.
Luo Xinglan had witnessed everything. Although she felt that Chen Xiaodong's behavior was completely taking advantage of the situation and was very unethical, she didn't say anything.
She has already warned everyone. As for what to do next—whether to spend a lot of money to buy a smelting furnace or to tough it out—that's none of her business.
Luo Xinglan sighed and stopped paying attention to the matter.
But lying in bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
When I close my eyes, all I see are those figures shivering in the cold wind.
She sighed and tried to tell herself not to think about it anymore. She had done what she could, and whether others wanted to take advantage of the situation to make money or something else was none of her business.
But……
Have we really done everything we could?
A series of beeping sounds suddenly rang out.
Luo Xinglan clicked on it with some annoyance.
Jiang Mingze: "Sister Lan, want to pull off something big together?"
Zhou Yiran: "Xinglan, there's this really annoying guy trying to profit from the disaster. I want to stop him. Want to come with me?"
Someone you particularly dislike?
Profiting from disaster?
Luo Xinglan was taken aback and quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"
The next moment, Luo Xinglan was pulled into a group chat, the group chat name was "Punishing Evil and Promoting Good Squad".
Luo Xinglan was completely bewildered: "What's going on? What are you two doing?"
Jiang Mingze's tone carried a hint of disdain and anger: "It's that Chen Xiaodong who's selling smelting furnaces. He's a complete scoundrel! He's trying to make money off this opportunity, and I won't let him have his way!"
Zhou Yiran's tone also turned somewhat cold: "Xinglan, Jiang Mingze and I want to..."
Selling the smelting furnaces at a low price wasn't just about going against Chen Xiaodong; more importantly, it was about doing everything in my power to save as many lives as possible!
Luo Xinglan's heart trembled violently.
She finally understood the meaning of the restlessness that had been lingering in her heart.
She thought she had done all she could by reminding everyone to expand the raft and build the smelting furnace, but there was more she could do!
Admittedly, some of the people she wants to help may be unscrupulous, but most are just like her, people who were inexplicably thrown into the game and are only trying to survive. Since she can help them, why shouldn't she?
