It is like feeling the room is too dim and wanting to open a window; others would certainly forbid it. But if you were to threaten to tear down the roof, they would suddenly be willing to let you open the window.
This should not count as CPU usage, right?
Cheng Shuili blinked her eyes and placed her hands on the keyboard to edit the text.
The regional channel was still clamoring for Cheng Shuili to give a definitive answer. Not wanting to beat around the bush, she sent the message directly.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Providing custom processing for basic water condensation devices; see attachment for function. Required materials: plastic x4, rubber x2, iron block x2. Processing fee: 50 game coins.
“That is great! The Boss is offering custom processing too! Wait, what about this processing fee?”
“??? I am honestly tired of typing question marks today. Can you stop surprising me, please?”
“Sister Crow! You must have made a typo, right?”
“Brother Crow~ You actually added an extra zero by accident, right?”
“Are you crazy? 50 game coins?! Since the system started paying wages, I have only earned 100 game coins in total, and you are asking for half of that right off the bat?”
“Is Boss Crow throwing a tantrum? The processing fee was only 5 game coins before. Even with an increase, it should not jump tenfold! Although Boss Crow is not exactly a saint, he is not bad either. You can tell from several instances that he is someone with strong moral principles. He must be angry and just sent this to scare us.”
Cheng Shuili: “......”
The flattery made her feel a bit embarrassed.
“Hey, stop acting crazy upstairs. Boss Crow is clearly serious. But to be honest, 50 game coins is not that expensive.”
Cheng Shuili’s eyes lit up instantly: “!”
Is it not expensive?
Is it really not expensive?
“Everyone calm down. The price of supplies to buy water today increased by five times, and it will probably increase by six times tomorrow. Since there is no channel to exchange supplies for game coins, game coins are relatively rare. However, this basic water condensation device can produce 1 liter of water per day and can be used indefinitely, understand? Indefinitely! That is equivalent to getting two bottles of water every day! I do not think I need to explain the cost-effectiveness, right?”
“But 50 coins is equivalent to five days of my savings!”
“Then keep buying high-priced water and see who dies of thirst first.”
“As a regular customer who has bought five times, I will say a fair word: Boss Crow was definitely doing charity work at 5 coins before! I have earned a lot of supplies by reselling the devices, and I feel like I have already earned back the processing fees.”
“??? May the resellers die!”
“Wait, so... is 50 coins actually a fair price?”
Is it fair?
Cheng Shuili was speechless; she really did not expect things to develop like this.
Should she lower the price then?
She had already received quite a few orders via private messages.
Sigh.
It is truly a sweet burden.
“In short, if you think it is expensive, do not buy it. In any case, there are still four days of extreme heat left.”
“I am buying! Boss, take my order! I really cannot survive this hellish weather without a device.”
“Me too... even though it hurts my wallet, it is still more cost-effective than buying water.”
“You guys are just encouraging the arrogance of a profiteer! Let us all boycott this together!”
“Then you find me a cheaper one.”
“Exactly. Why did I not see you thanking the Boss when it was 5 coins before?”
“Damn it! You guys are missing the point! The point is that Boss Crow only charged 5 game coins for custom processing before, so why is it 50 game coins when it is my turn? Do you understand the psychological gap here? That is exactly what I am uncomfortable with!”
“Someone finally said it clearly. I am honestly tired of watching these people argue. I support you!”
“Me too. It feels really bad. It was clearly five game coins before, and suddenly it is ten times higher. That is really a lot.”
“I just checked my supplies, and I feel like I can endure it if I hold out. I think I will pass on processing this item. It is just too expensive. I do not mean to say Boss Crow is bad, and Boss Crow was indeed doing charity work before, but I really cannot come up with these 50 game coins. Maybe I am just not meant to have a basic water condensation device.”
“Sigh, I only realize now that Crow is truly a very good person. He spoke up for Glory, helped everyone with processing, and he must have known this disaster would be extreme heat, so he intentionally helped with processing air conditioners on the last day of extreme cold.”
“Wow, if the person above had not said that, I would not have realized it. If it were not for the Boss’s air conditioner, I do not know how many people in our region would have died from this extreme heat.”
“I sincerely thank Boss Crow. If it were not for Boss Crow’s air conditioner, I really would not have survived.”
“I am from Partition 1000, and everyone in our region knows that during that previous dungeon, if it were not for Boss Crow sharing the dungeon clues almost for free, our partition definitely would not have taken first place. Being in the same region as Crow is my blessing.”
“Do those people who are scolding Crow feel any pain on their faces? What is wrong with him earning some game coins on bread? Most people do not rely on this to live; they only buy it when they want a change of taste. It is a matter of mutual consent, yet you still scold him!”
“Exactly! No one praised the Boss when he was only charging 5 game coins for custom processing, but now that he earns 9 game coins, a group of people are scolding him like this. They are truly a bunch of ungrateful wretches.”
The regional channel was chatting heatedly.
Yet, the person being discussed was somewhat silent.
Can she say it?
Charging only 5 game coins at the beginning was because most people only had 5 game coins in their hands.
It became a habit later, and it was impossible to change. Now that the people who survived are wealthier, she just followed suit and raised the price.
If you want to call her a good person, Cheng Shuili definitely could not be called that, right?
“I did not dare to say it before. When Crow was scolded because of the bread, I spoke up for him, and he sent me bread directly. He is truly a very, very good person.”
That was expired bread.
Cheng Shuili: “……”
There was an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.
“Pfft, you guys are the real lunatics. Is everything he does not just to earn game coins? To put it bluntly, it is for his own life! Once you guys say it, it makes him sound like a great philanthropist. Truly ridiculous!”
Normal! Everything is normal again!
“The person above is my spirit animal. Seriously, what is with the good or bad talk? I am speechless. If he were truly a philanthropist, he would provide free custom processing!”
“With that kind of entitlement, you must have been a beggar in your past life.”
“Stop protecting him. He does not care at all whether you live or die, okay? Many people cannot even come up with 50 game coins, right? He will watch you die with your own eyes; he does not care about you at all.”
Cheng Shuili smiled and sent the message to lower the price at the perfect moment.
She could earn a little less money, and of course, it might not necessarily be earning less, as small profits but quick turnover is the way to go. In any case, this point of pride had to be won!
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: The processing fee is changed to 25 game coins. I will refund those who have already sent the transaction.
“25 game coins? It is half the price immediately!”
“Crow! Crow! Crow! Sob, I am so moved I do not know what to say. Crow is truly... a! Great! Person!”
“You two shouting above! Does your face hurt? Speak up!”
“I knew it, Crow is truly a good person! It is just that his temper is a bit tough, his scolding is a bit foul, and his heart is a bit petty......”
“You had better be complimenting our Boss Crow.”
