The first customer opened her palms; a gold ring, necklace, and gold earrings flashed blindly in her hands.
"What do you want?" Facing these treasures, the young stall owner showed no change in expression.
"I want candles and water." The customer was a little nervous.
"One piece of gold can be exchanged for two candles or one bottle of mineral water." The young man calmly quoted the price.
The customer let out an exclamation, "So black-bellied!"
Black-bellied: A Chinese term used often in online novels. It refers to someone who is secretly evil, sly, or manipulative.
"If you think it's unfair, you don't have to do business with me, I'm not forcing you to do anything." The young man said indifferently, "But you should seize this opportunity. I don't have much inventory of these things."
In other words, even if you are willing in the future, you may not be able to buy it.
The customer gritted her teeth and spat out a sentence, "Bring me two candles and a bottle of mineral water." Then, she took the gold ring back, and she was reluctant to exchange all her treasures.
The first transaction was completed.
Su Han took a look and found that after looking at the ring, she could see its attributes, [Golden Ring: Pure Gold, 4.8g]. She thought to herself, 'That's quite convenient, at least you don't worry about being deceived.'
The second customer took out a small golden Buddha statue and said anxiously, "My baby weighs over 50g! it won't be considered as one piece of gold, would it?"
"Fine, I'll count it as ten pieces, what do you need?" The young man asked.
The second customer wanted to negotiate some more, but the stall owner was very stern, "It's not easy to carry this statue around, not to mention it's difficult to cut it to pieces, I won't change the price."
The customer had no choice but to exchange his stuff quietly.
The third customer took out a jade bracelet, and the color was green and clear. The bracelet looked very good.
Looking at the stall, Su Han also thought about exchanging some food with gold or jewelry. Although these things might not have any use in this instance, they might be beneficial in other instances.
She gave up this idea after considering it for a while. For starters, it was inconvenient to carry all those jewelry pieces around, her warehouse doesn't have enough slots, and her backpack is almost full. Also, she only exchanged a few points into currency before entering the game so that she couldn't buy that much stuff inside the instance. It's impossible to exchange jewelry with her current supplies, and she might end up starving.
After staring at the stall for a while, Su Han walked away with a shake of her head.
The stall owner tilted his head and watched Su Han walking away, his face showing a thoughtful look.
*****
Having nothing to do, Su Han went to the bazaar on the overpass.
The so-called bazaar has no fixed location. It's just some people setting up their stalls in places that are usually bustling with activity.
Su Han walked forward, checking out the stalls as she walked. Perhaps due to the sheer amount of robbing, stealing, and looting last night, the items in the stalls at the bazaar were quite copious. Most stalls have canned food, shampoo, bandages, and other in-demand goods on display.
A person brushed past her, and at the same time, murmured, "Player?"
That person whispered so softly that if she weren't paying attention to her surroundings, she would not have heard it at all.
Su Han felt a jolt and looked towards the voice. Standing behind her was a young girl about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The other party lowered her voice even more, "I have news, are you willing to exchange it with daily necessities?"
Su Han put up a hand to stop her. "Let's go and talk in a hidden place, come with me." She then led the way.
The young girl bit her lips and followed.
*****
Su Han only started talking after she determined that they were the only two people present when they reached a secluded corner, "How do I know if your news has any worth? I don't want to spend money on information I might already know."
The young girl made a suggestion, "I'll say the first half, you can choose whether you want to listen to the rest or not."
Su Han raised her eyebrows, "For example?"
"All daily necessities can improve cleanliness but…." The young girl stopped talking, beckoning her to pay to listen to the second half.
However, Su Han said, "I know this."
"All food improves satiety…."
Su Han interrupted mercilessly, "I also know that, tell me another one."
The young girl stared at Su Han silently for a while, "Are you sure you have daily necessities?"
"I have soap, more than ten bars." Su Han reported a fraction of what she has.
The young girl thought about something for a long time before she finally made up her mind, "I'll give you crucial information regarding warehouse management, something I learned from my own experience. But the price will be slightly more expensive, I want 10 bars of soap in exchange for this knowledge."
Su Han showed a vague smile, "For example?" 'If this girl dared to say some garbage like store the same item as much as possible, she's going to have a falling out with her right here.'
The young girl had already decided to sell this precious piece of information. So, to express her sincerity, she said everything in one breath, "Store ready-to-eat foods with high satiety as much as possible. This way, not only will you last longer in the instance, but it's also convenient to eat. If it's not ready-made food, cooking will be very difficult if there's no electricity, water or gas."
"That is an important piece of information. But I already thought of everything you just said." Su Han threw her a piece of soap for her hard work and then turned around to leave.
"Five bars of soap and I'll tell you everything I know!" The young girl desperately shouted, "It's impossible that you would know everything I thought of, right?"
The young girl was distraught; her cleanliness level had dropped close to the red line and was about to go lower than 25. In addition, because she didn't use soap and shower gel for a long time, her energy level also kept dropping. She is going to die at this rate!
In addition, not many players have personal warehouses, and the chance that she can meet one with a warehouse is even fewer. Plus, the rich enough to afford this piece of information is almost close to none. Therefore, she had no choice but to place all her hope on Su Han.
Su Han stopped, '5 bars of soap, the price is not that expensive, I guess it doesn't hurt to listen.' Therefore, she turned around, paid the balance, and calmly urged the girl to start talking.
The young girl calmed down and spoke slowly, "There are ten slots in the personal warehouse. Let's say you put 100 bottles of – mineral water or milk or beverages or something else, as long as it's something you can drink, in the 1st slot."
"In the 2nd slot, you can put soaps for cleanliness and in the 3rd slot, put instant food for satiety."
"With these three items, I personally think we don't need to stock up on rations anymore, you can store tools in the other 7 slots."
Su Han coldly asked her, "Are you telling me to let one thing take up an entire slot?"
While asking that question, she annoyingly thought in her mind, 'This girl's simply playing tricks, she's going to ask for a refund!'
The young girl smiled mysteriously, "No, put your sundries inside backpacks and put those backpacks in the left-over slots."
Upon hearing this, Su Han was at a loss for words.
