Chapter 52 Don't Be a Sucker
Yu Qi found another person in the chat lobby and chatted with them. The other person's offer was even higher than that of Cai Dan Kuaile.
She quickly realized that the reputation of "Hunting Moment" was too great. People thought that since the big boss knew so much information, he must have already obtained a lot of good stuff. They all offered high prices, thinking that the big boss might not care, and they had a kind of wishful thinking.
However, Yu Qi was even stingier than the system. So far, the highway system had only earned one Energy Heart and a few Wolf Fangs from her.
How could she possibly be such a sucker?
"If you encounter something like this, just change your username to anonymous. If you find that troublesome, I can help you sell your stuff," Lao Liu's assistant reminded him from the side.
Now the assistant has figured it out: this skilled player probably has mastered some amazing skills and can grow a lot of crops.
It's perfectly fine for it to try to please players like this! After all, since this kind of intelligent life form is already bound to the player, it will be bound for life.
When a player's life is gone, theirs is doomed too! We're all in the same boat.
"Then keep me anonymous and help me search the chat lobby to buy all the soil fragments dropped by the earth monsters. I have a very important use for them."
"But don't spend too much money, because currently, no one else needs this kind of thing."
Yu Qi gave instructions to her assistant.
The virtual figure inside the crystal ball nodded repeatedly.
With this assistant's help, Yu Qi's life became much easier. She only needed to put the various tomatoes produced in her homestead into the trading shop, and the assistant would naturally sort them and sell them for her.
At this moment, the AAA grocery shopping group was flashing.
The bald girl's stubbornness: "Hey, hunter, do you buy fragments dropped by earth monsters in the chat lobby? I have some here, I'll transfer them all to you."
"I just saw in the chat lobby that some people saw your name and offered high prices. Do you want me to buy it for you?"
Lolita: "This soil is useless right now. Not everyone can grow crops here. Only the big hunters are buying it up. Those people are deliberately raising prices!"
Xinghe Rumeng: "I also have ten soil fragments here. I'll sell them to you for just five Energy Hearts."
Xinghe offered a lower price because he also benefited greatly from this group. Whenever he hunted something good, he would sell it in the grocery group as soon as possible.
For example, he bought a lot of steamed buns that increase physique and speed, and various sauces that increase physique and strength, so he no longer needed to rob the trading store.
Having received so many benefits, he was naturally willing to do favors for this big shot.
Hunting Moment: "Thank you very much. I really need these fragments. If you have any, please contact me and I'll buy them all."
After this message was sent out, many people in the grocery shopping group forwarded the soil fragments to me.
In addition to the ones the assistant bought for her at a lower price in the chat lobby, she collected a total of fifty soil fragments, which were used to synthesize five pieces of land.
Unexpectedly, Baiyi Zhucha also contacted her and gave her six soil fragments.
The slingshot was bought from Baiyi Zhucha, and Yu Qi practiced its accuracy for a long time.
Baiyi Zhucha also bought a few tomatoes from her, but they didn't keep in touch much after that, so Yu Qi didn't bring the other person into the conversation.
Yu Qi was somewhat surprised when Bai Yi, who was brewing tea, suddenly threw something in.
White-robed Tea Master: "Hunter, guess what I've encountered recently? I was driving through a forest, and there were lots of trees in that forest."
"I thought you, the hunting master, would need a lot of wood, so I mustered up my courage, picked up an axe, and went into the woods to try it out."
"At first, I couldn't cut down many trees. No matter how many times I swung the axe, I couldn't make a mark. But I didn't give up. I searched for half a day and finally found a few trees that I could cut down and got twenty units of wood."
"I was disappointed and planned to leave, but a monster with an elephant's head wouldn't let me go, saying that I had cut down his tree and that I had to do more hard labor there."
At this point, Baiyi Zhucha spoke with a bitter tone, saying he had no idea how he had gotten through the past few days!
The man in white, brewing tea, said, "I chopped down trees for three whole days, cutting down five hundred bundles of timber, before that guy was willing to let me go!"
"Fortunately, I didn't have any milestone tasks in these three days, otherwise I definitely would have lost them!"
Hunting Moment: "You must have stumbled upon a special location. Did you manage to find anything?"
Yu Qi was quite curious about this special location. She kept chopping down trees there, but she didn't need to do any inheritance quests or go to great lengths to deal with monsters!
Baiyi, who was brewing tea, said, "It's actually quite safe there. The elephant monster cleared out a separate cabin for me so I can live in."
"Before leaving, he gave me two hundred portions of wood, saying I did a good job, fast and steady. He gave me a carpentry card, and then disappeared at that strange location."
Baiyi Zhucha had just returned when he contacted the hunting master. He said that he found those earth monster fragments while cutting down trees, as there was some of this kind of soil in the forest.
Baiyi, who was brewing tea, said, "Although these three days have been peaceful, I have run out of resources because the elephant monster doesn't provide any food. I've been eating bread the whole time."
He sent me a crying emoji.
Yu Qi was both amused and exasperated. She gave him two tomatoes, two military-grade cans of food, and two bottles of mineral water.
Then she thought about it and added Baiyi Zhucha to the AAA grocery shopping group as well.
Hunting Moment: "If you need anything else, you can trade with everyone here."
Of course, Yu Qi also had her own agenda.
With the carpentry card, Baiyizhucha will definitely be able to enter and leave that forest again in the future, and cut down more timber.
Nowadays, there are all kinds of treasure chests, but they don't yield much wood. The only option is to decompose log chests.
But how many log treasure chests are there?
If Baiyi Zhucha can provide a stable supply of wood, Yu Qi's homestead will be upgraded much faster.
Then, she sent a message in a private chat.
Hunting Moment: "Do you need those two hundred pieces of wood? If not, I'd like to buy them all. Just tell me what resources you need."
On another parallel road, the man in white, brewing tea, was deeply moved.
He was actually very frustrated when he came back. Although the elephant monster gave him two hundred pieces of wood, the wood couldn't be used to upgrade his vehicle!
He missed three whole days and so many resources. His space backpack is still empty. How is he supposed to survive on just this wood?
However, hunting down the big shots was incredibly effective! It really does take a big shot!
The man in white, who was brewing tea, said, "Boss, I'll sell them all. This wood is useless to me. I want to exchange it for food and weapons."
Hunting Moment: "Okay, I'll prepare it for you right away."
Yu Qi delivered the mutated wheat steamed buns, two bottles of meat sauce, two bottles of spicy sauce, ten servings of spicy dried meat, and a lantern fruit.
Then he prepared a nine-section staff and a dagger that could cut through iron like mud for the other party.
Hunting Moment: "A high-temperature disaster is coming soon, so these things can't be left."
"You can use the extra meat sauce and jerky to exchange for basic resources and try to upgrade your vehicle so you can cope with the upcoming disaster."
I was moved to tears again by the white-robed man brewing tea.
"Boss, from now on, I'll take care of all your timber! Once things recover, I'll also buy you log chests and bronze chests!"
Timber isn't actually worth much; Yu Qi gave too much.
But this is necessary, because currently only Baiyi Zhucha has the woodworking card, and can acquire more wood in the future.
Each upgrade to her home requires more wood, copper blocks, and various other resources.
We need to make sure that Baiyi Zhucha survives first, otherwise who will provide the basic resources needed to upgrade our home?
The AAA grocery shopping group is buzzing with activity again, as everyone is welcoming the newcomer.
The taciturn man presented the newcomer with two portions of all-purpose metal, leaving Baiyi Zhucha feeling flattered.
This grocery shopping group has such a great atmosphere!
If he has anything good in the future, he must come over as soon as possible to sell it to everyone!
