A message popped up, and Luo Xinglan opened it to see that it was from Jiang Mingze: "Damn it, Sister Lan, there's a limit to the number of transactions we can make! We can only make three transactions a day!"
Luo Xinglan's eyes flashed. Restricted transactions?
She immediately looked at the transaction icon next to the chat window with Jiang Mingze. It used to be simple and empty, but now there was a new message: "Number of transactions available today: 0/3".
That's true.
No wonder they created an online store; it turns out they're limiting the number of transactions.
From then on, survivors will have to buy supplies from the store—but with the game becoming more difficult, they can only trade three times a day, which is definitely not enough.
I just don't know if it's only possible to trade with the same person three times, or only a total of three trades?
I'll give it a try when I have the chance.
Luo Xinglan had no choice but to reopen the shop and take a closer look.
First of all, how do you earn gold coins?
Her gaze fell on the "free trade zone." Since it's free trade, does that mean everyone can sell things?
She took a cucumber out of her backpack and discovered that it could actually be put on the shelves!
Moreover, she decided the gold coin price entirely on her own.
She felt relieved knowing she could earn gold coins by selling items.
In just a short time, the free trade zone was no longer a blank space; a considerable number of goods gradually appeared, mostly basic materials such as wood, nails, screws, plastics, and weeds, and the prices were quite high.
It seems everyone has tacitly agreed not to put other supplies on the shelves, and to test the waters with these things first.
Luo Xinglan then opened the "Special Commodity Trade Zone" and began to study it.
Food items include steamed buns and rice, with a daily limit of 5,000, priced at 10 gold coins. There are also other foods such as bread and cakes, priced at 20 gold coins or even higher.
Luo Xinglan opened the steamed bun and entered the amount 10 in the "transaction price".
The next moment, a notification was received:
"One minute remains until the auction ends. After one minute, the highest bidder will win. If you wish to acquire this item, please offer a suitable price!"
Luo Xinglan: "..."
So, is the system setting up an auction?
Should we let everyone bid on these basic supplies?
No wonder there's a "fixed price" option; that's what it's all about!
Moreover, the food limit is 1,000 servings, and this district has a population of 100,000!
If you want to obtain limited resources but don't know what other people are bidding, then you have to drive the price up as much as possible.
What a dog!
Luo Xinglan spat.
While expressing her disgust, she clicked on "Listing" and discovered that it was possible to sell things in the designated commodity trading zone, but there were limits.
Luo Xinglan looked at the list: wood was limited to 2 gold coins per piece, nails and screws were limited to 5,000 each at 2 gold coins each, and there were other supplies, such as steamed buns, limited to 5,000 each at 5 gold coins each!
Luo Xinglan rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then looked at the trading price of the steamed bun. Yes, that's right, it was 10 gold coins.
Isn't this just blatant buying and selling for profit?
And you made half the profit in one transaction?
Is this system really not afraid of being attacked?
Luo Xinglan finally saw what a real shrewd businessman was like.
"Damn it, this game is such a rip-off! Are they treating us like lambs to the slaughter? They buy steamed buns for 5 gold coins each, and then sell them back to us for 10 gold coins each?"
"Yeah, and they even limited the number of transactions! They're basically forcing us to buy things from the store!"
"The key question is how do you earn gold coins? Everyone should start with zero gold coins, right?"
"No, the system gave me 25 gold coins initially, didn't you give me any?"
"I have 100 gold coins. Does that mean everyone gets a different starting amount of gold coins?"
"Are you stupid, upstairs or downstairs? You can make money selling things in the free trade zone, can't you?"
"Actually, there is another way to make money, which is to sell the goods to the mall at a low price."
"Sell to the marketplace? They're treating us like韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited), and we're really willing to be韭菜?"
"Yes, if you don't sell and I don't sell, the mall will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
"Damn, which bastard is secretly selling timber? The quota of 5,000 logs to be purchased is almost gone, with less than 1,000 left!"
"What? I want to sell too! Hurry up, save some for me!"
After grumbling in the chat channel, I had no choice but to accept the fact.
Luo Xinglan simply shut down the "Special Commodity Trade Zone," because she wasn't going to let the game take advantage of her!
What she needs to do now is to list items in the "Free Trade Zone" to make money. After all, her lucky streak today is "buy, buy, buy," so she should need to buy things.
She glanced around and saw that in just a short while, the goods in the "Free Trade Zone" had become incredibly diverse. There were various basic supplies, as well as some survival supplies, such as steamed buns, water, and some energy potions. However, they were all ordinary and the prices were relatively low. For example, wood was the cheapest, costing one gold coin per piece, while nails and screws cost two gold coins each, and energy potions could be sold for 10 gold coins.
In fact, Luo Xinglan currently has the most Zhenyuan Fruit in her possession, but she didn't put it on the market right away. Firstly, Liu Di had said that the energy limit could be increased, and she wasn't sure how much energy Zhenyuan Fruit could restore. Secondly, the store had just opened, and everyone didn't have much money. If the price was too high, people wouldn't be able to afford it, but if the price was too low, she felt like she was losing money.
After careful consideration, she put 10 cucumbers up for sale, priced at 15 gold coins each.
In certain trade zones, steamed buns can sell for 10 gold coins, so it's reasonable for her cucumbers to sell for 15 gold coins, right?
After listing the items, she closed the online store, glanced outside, and saw that the sea was calm, with no sign of wind.
However, Luo Xinglan dared not relax. Since the weather forecast clearly stated that there was a typhoon, she should still prepare.
Although her raft was utterly vulnerable when the typhoon actually hit, she felt that this game wouldn't let so many people die so easily, and she would just do what she could.
After thinking for a moment, she took a flashlight and went out of the bedroom to apply fertilizer directly to the various crops, so that they could mature earlier and be saved from being damaged by the typhoon.
However, when she was fertilizing, she was told that sea buckthorn, cactus, saxaul, and tamarisk should not be fertilized. She didn't know why, so she simply let these plants continue to grow. As for the pine, chestnut, and walnut trees, since they had already grown taller than a person and had very thick branches, she didn't fertilize them either, letting them continue to grow, hoping they could at least provide some shelter from the wind for the sea buckthorn.
After harvesting the crops, Luo Xinglan put away her fully automatic fishing rod. If it were blown away by the typhoon, she would have nowhere to turn to cry.
After packing up her fishing rod, she also packed up the seawater purifier, and even moved the compost bin into the toilet.
With everything ready, Luo Xinglan returned to her bedroom.
I wonder when the frog cub will come back. I hope it won't be affected by the typhoon.
