Andrew clicked on the page about purified water.
But he found that all the trades for drinking purified water were gone, except for one or two with outrageous prices that nobody could afford.
This made Andrew somewhat puzzled.
He clicked on one of the trade posts for [1000ml drinking purified water: 10 pieces of wood].
Comment: Boss, you are too heartless! 1000ml of purified water is only a few sips, isn't it? And you're selling it for 10 pieces of wood, do you know how long it takes to chop 10 pieces of wood!!
Reply: I am the only one left selling drinking purified water now. It rained acid today, and all the water sources were polluted. You can try drinking unfiltered water!
Comment: I'm dying of thirst, please sell me some water! Can I buy 100ml for 1 piece of wood?
Reply: I don't sell in small quantities, you damn beggar!
Comment: How do you filter drinking purified water? Seeking cooperation for business!
Reply: I bet you just want to scam me for free water, don't you? Buy it if you want, don't buy it and get fucking lost. Now the entire trading forum only I have water to sell. It's up to you guys!
Reply: Anyone who keeps whining will be blocked.
Andrew saw this.
He finally understood why no one was selling purified water on the entire trading board.
It turned out that today's acid rain has polluted all the water sources.
Unless someone like him had a specialized water purifier, even the originally pure mountain spring water cannot be drunk now.
What a good opportunity!
Andrew tried to sell all 90 liters of water and divided them into small portions to ensure that most people could afford it!
[150ml drinking purified water: exchange for 1 piece of wood (or 1 stone as an alternative) remaining: 100]
[200ml drinking purified water: exchange for 2 muds, remaining: 100]
[1000ml drinking purified water: exchange for 1 energy stone (or 1 animal skin) remaining: 20]
There were several different options.
Andrew planned to take advantage of this opportunity to get all the extra materials in these players' hands!
As usual, he shouted on the regional channel first.
Andrew: Anyone wants to buy drinking purified water? If so, buy it on the trading platform. First come, first served!
"Wow! Andrew is selling water! Someone finally sells water! I'm dying of thirst!"
"You are so timely! I just drank polluted stream water, and now my stomach is hurting badly. Please, I need medicine!"
"Andrew is always Andrew. How did you get drinking purified water? Awesome, awesome!"
"One piece of wood for one sip of water, sobbing, I'm almost bankrupt!"
"Bro, I don't have any wood, can I use bronze instead? I opened a treasure chest and broke down 10 pieces of bronze."
"The unscrupulous businessman! Here he is again, making money by unethical means. He made so much from selling medicine before. Does he not have any pure water to share with everyone? How dare he sell it at such a high price!"
"Exactly! Since he's not lacking resources, he should help everyone even more! Ten liters of water costs about one piece of wood, and it won't cost him much to filter it!"
"Hey, you upstairs! If you're so capable, then don't drink water! You're just trying to take advantage of him! You scum!"
"Man, please give me some water! As long as you promise to give me some water, you can do whatever you want to me!"
Various replies flooded in, reaching over 99+ in no time.
Andrew quickly scanned through them, and most of them were asking for discounts, asking for free water.
However, there was one person who reminded Andrew.
There should be a lot of treasure boxes popping up these days, scattered all over the place. Once the boxes are opened, they can be broken down into bronze and silver. Although Andrew didn't know what these materials were used for at the moment, there might require large quantities of them later on. It was time to collect them while there was still a chance!
[200ml drinkable purified water: exchangeable for 1 bronze, remaining: 100]
[500ml drinkable purified water: exchangeable for 1 silver, remaining: 30]
200ml of water is roughly the amount of one sip.
It's impossible to say it's ethical with this price.
But monopolizing businesses like oil or tobacco was always unethical!
To survive better, Andrew didn't think there was any problem with this!
"Wow! Thank you, senior! This is great, I don't have much, but I have a lot of bronze!"
"Andrew is a good person, he saved my life!"
"Bronze can also be exchanged for water to drink. From now on, you are my foster parents!"
"Silver is even more cost-effective. I should be able to drink until tomorrow with 1L of water, right?"
Blah blah blah...
It had only been on the shelf for less than a minute. All of the bronze options were immediately exchanged by people, bringing in a total of 100 bronze, but the cost was simply twenty liters of water.
Mud was also exchanged quickly, and Andrew got 186 mud, with only seven left unexchanged.
In addition, wood and stone were also very popular.
Only the energy stone and silver had few people exchanging for them.
But this could also be understood.
After all, not many people could find the silver treasure box, and even fewer could get the energy stone.
Plus, Andrew reaped a wave of them when he sold medicine today.
There were even fewer people who have these two good things in their hands now.
Seeing that the water is almost gone, Andrew found the water source expert he chatted with in the morning:
Andrew: Are you there? I want to buy another 100 liters of water!
Water source expert: Boss, the water in the evening is poisonous. It has all become a polluted water source and cannot be used! Sobbing~.
Andrew: No problem, I'll just filter it!
Water source expert: 0-o!!! So you're the one who's been selling a lot of water in the trading channel!
Water source expert: Sir, listen! Can we make a deal?
Andrew: ???
Water source expert: I can give you 100L of water, or even 200L, would you be willing to exchange it for 10L of drinking purified water? I promise to drink it myself and not resell it!
Andrew: Alright, how about this? 200L of water for 10L of purified water, but you have to give me 10 wood as well. Deal?
Water source expert: No problem! Thank you so much, thank you so much, sir! I'm extremely grateful, I worship you, love you!
Andrew: Say that again and I'll block you!
Water source expert: Sorry, sorry!
[Purified water - 10L, Poisoned water + 200L]
Exchange successful.
This business was simply a risk-free business.
He only used 10L of water and exchanged it for 200L of water, as well as ten wood. This means he saved the cost of filtration and even earned 180L of water for free!
Indeed. Technology determines fate, technology determines wallet!
But previously, it was only [dirty water], and now it had become [poisoned water] directly?
The power of acid rain was really too great!
[Poisoned water: River water contaminated by acid rain. Drinking it will cause diarrhea and dehydration. In severe cases, it can even lead to severe gastroenteritis, and even death. It is not recommended to drink!]
[PS: If you have to drink it, please filter it! Boiling it won't help, acidic substances will still be present in boiling water, please be aware.]
