How should this part be calculated?
Should it also be based on a split?
The extra amount was a gift from Bao Chi, while the whole numbers were from yesterday. Is the system really that strict about expiration dates?
The system did not provide a page for Cheng Shuili to pay for the losses, so it likely expects them to be covered directly by the profits.
Cheng Shuili stared at the negative sign in front of the number for a while, then silently took out a piece of ordinary bread. The one she pulled out was already expired (according to the system, at least).
The bread still looked fine; although it was stone-cold, it still felt like a perfectly good loaf of bread that was absolutely edible.
Cheng Shuili tested it and found that while the bread could no longer be traded, it could still be gifted.
It would be a shame to just throw it away.
Since that was the case...
It seemed pretty normal for everyone to eat bread for a few days, right?
Cheng Shuili silently packed the bread into the Abyss Ring. Putting it in there was even more effective than putting it in a refrigerator.
However, the space in the Abyss Ring was limited. Cheng Shuili had to pick and choose, taking out items that weren't very useful before she could squeeze the bread inside.
In the end, there were four pieces of ordinary bread left outside.
Since there were exactly four...
Cheng Shuili opened the group chat.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Everyone.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: Boss, why is it this opening again? I have a bad feeling about this.
Her intuition was spot on.
Cheng Shuili silently typed out the rest.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: You all worked hard on your training today, let’s have a little extra for a meal.
“You have gifted the player Wanyi a gift: Ordinary Bread x1.”
“You have gifted the player...”
Cheng Shuili sent a piece of bread to each of them one by one.
Some people hadn't noticed the group chat message right away, but now they were all drawn out by this sudden notification.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: Actually, I’m pretty full.
【Wanyi】: ???
【Wanyi】: Is the portion of food too small? Crow! You’d better give me an explanation!
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: This bread smells so good. I haven't had it in so long; the last time I ate something this fragrant was the toast I bought from the Boss.
【Ai Mi Li】: Thank you.
No problem, everyone was very grateful. Cheng Shuili immediately announced the next piece of good news.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Good, right? I have another hundred of these loaves here, and I also have a hundred of the toast that Liang Shanbo mentioned. They belong to us now, so make sure to finish eating them over the next few days!
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: How many?
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Yay!
【Ai Mi Li】: Okay.
【Wanyi】: ?, aren't you considering selling them? How long will it take for us to eat all this? There are only five of us; if we eat one loaf of bread and one piece of toast per meal, it will take an entire week!
These were the words Qi Wanyi sent, but her shock was already plain to see.
Cheng Shuili explained the situation with a bitter smile, and after repeatedly assuring them that the bread wasn't expired and that the system's judgment was just extremely strict, the group finally set aside their concerns.
Free extra food!
Overall, they were still happy. Liang Shanbo had even said the bread was delicious, hadn't he?
None of them expected that in a few days, they would just want to travel back in time to stop their own compliant selves! No matter how delicious something is, you can't eat it every single day, every single meal!
For now, everything was very optimistic.
It was currently lunch time, and it was the perfect time to sell bread!
Cheng Shuili hesitated about the pricing. If she earned too little, it felt like it wasn't worth the trouble, but if she earned too much, she worried it wouldn't sell.
If she earned only 10 game coins per loaf, she could earn 1000 game coins daily from the ordinary bread, and another 1000 from the toast.
That was a steady 2000 game coins coming in every day!
Cheng Shuili’s eyes lit up instantly. Perfect! That was the price!
Crow Bakery was officially open for business!
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Bread, you can smell the milky aroma, freshly out of the oven, quality ingredients guaranteed, absolutely delicious! 15 game coins per loaf, 100 portions total, now listed on the trading channel, first come, first served.
“Huh? What is this? Bread?”
“No way? Where did the bread come from? And selling a hundred portions at once?”
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Toast, ten slices per bag, also fresh out of the oven, hot! 16 game coins per bag, 100 portions total, now listed on the trading channel, buy directly if you need it.
“???”
“There’s even toast?”
“Already snatched one! It’s hot! It smelled so good I almost swallowed my tongue! Thanks, Boss!”
“@Angry Crow Takes Flight, Boss, tell us where the bread came from. If you explain it clearly, I’ll buy a few portions to support you!”
“Hahahaha, I can’t handle this; that last sentence is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“It’s already sold out. I didn't even get a chance to grab any, and you’re already trying to set conditions.”
“What?! It’s all gone?! I just saw this!”
“Please restock! This kid hasn't eaten proper food in three days!”
“Hahahaha, luckily I was fast and grabbed two! So delicious! (Attached: close-up photo of bread)”
“Damn, I’m drooling! @Angry Crow Takes Flight, is there really none left?”
Cheng Shuili replied to this one.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: There will be more tomorrow.
“There will be more tomorrow!”
“Wow! So Boss Crow actually replies! This is the first time I’ve felt like Boss Crow is a real person.”
“What is the guy above blabbering about? Laughed my head off.”
“Damn! I think I got a reply! Crow! I’m your fan, Crow! Can you give me a piece of bread for free?”
“Your scheming is so obvious it’s hitting me in the face.”
Cheng Shuili ignored the few people clamoring for free bread and opened the system page to check the earnings this time.
Everything had indeed sold out, earning a total of 1980 game coins this time.
The number felt a bit unfamiliar, but Cheng Shuili realized after a moment that she did have to split 1% with Bao Chi.
1% of 2000 was exactly 20 game coins.
It matched up.
Cheng Shuili opened the partnership page.
The system suddenly popped up two notifications.
【Received 624 private messages asking for a restock! It is recommended to increase the purchase quantity tomorrow!】
【Received 352 inquiries about how the bread is made! It is not recommended to reply!】
Without the system specifically pointing it out, Cheng Shuili hadn't planned on replying anyway. After closing these two pop-ups, the partnership page displayed the details.
【Current Available Products】
【Ordinary Bread: Cost 5 game coins, minimum sale price 6 game coins, no cap.
Toast: Cost 6 game coins, minimum sale price 7 game coins, no cap.】
【Current Inventory: Ordinary Bread x0, Toast x0】
【Current Total Profit 837 game coins, unlock new product after earning 1000 game coins: Honey Bun!】
【Trial operation successful! Starting tomorrow, you may choose the purchase quantity yourself, with a maximum of 200 portions per day! Please allocate reasonably!】
Tomorrow she could choose the amount of bread to purchase herself.
Not bad.
It was selling well now because of the novelty; this kind of bread couldn't be opened from supply crates, so people were buying it to try something fresh.
Another reason was that most people had game coins but nowhere to spend them, and coupled with the poor quality of their usual food, they were naturally happy to purchase Cheng Shuili’s bread to fill their stomachs.
It was selling well now, but later on, it might not sell at all.
