Cheng Shuili: “……”
Forget it, she could still take a joke.
After announcing that it would only cost 25 game coins, orders poured in one after another. The sound of system private message notifications was incessant, so noisy that Cheng Shuili turned them off again.
She set a special alert for her small group to ensure she didn't miss any important information.
Having settled these chores, she sat down in front of the workstation.
Cheng Shuili looked up toward the driver's cab.
Su Rui was truly reliable; not only did she drive the vehicle steadily, but she also never missed a supply crate. Aside from being worry-free to use, she required very few supplies, consuming only one bottle of mineral water for the entire day. She was truly a top-tier worker, a rare find indeed.
Cheng Shuili shook her head and began processing the incoming orders.
The workstation didn't require any manual operation from Cheng Shuili. Once it finished crafting automatically, Cheng Shuili just had to go through the private chat pages and deliver them one by one.
For every basic water condensation device provided, she would collect 25 game coins.
This was the life! This was how you made money!
She had felt bored before, but now that she was crafting for others, time slipped away without her noticing.
She had a rushed dinner in the middle and worked until ten o'clock at night. Cheng Shuili finally couldn't hold on any longer, so she posted another announcement in the regional channel.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: That is all for the processing today. I will continue tomorrow. Those who do not want to wait can type 1, and I will decline the order.
“Has the Boss been busy until now?”
“I am honestly getting a bit jealous. 25 game coins per person, that is 100 for four, 1,000 for forty, and 10,000 for four hundred. Damn, I don't even dare to calculate it. I really don't dare to calculate it!”
“I reckon there must be at least a thousand people asking the Boss for custom processing, right? That is at least 25,000 game coins as a baseline?”
“You guys are being way too idealistic. How could production not take time? I estimate making one takes quite a while. If it were fast, the Boss wouldn't have been at it until now.”
“There must be at least a hundred orders by now, that is 2,500 game coins in minimum income! 2,500 game coins! Does anyone even understand that!”
“It is not yours, so why are you chattering here?”
……
“So much, it really is so much. I feel like I will never see this many game coins in my entire life.”
Cheng Shuili did not read what was being discussed in the regional channel; she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.
She had to get up early every day, so she could only go to sleep early. Half a month had passed, and her biological clock had adjusted; she felt sleepy as soon as it hit the time.
The vehicle was very quiet, and Su Rui’s breathing was so soft it was almost inaudible. Cheng Shuili couldn't tell if she had fallen asleep or not.
Cheng Shuili forced herself to wash up. After wiping her face clean, she collapsed onto the soft, large bed and fell asleep instantly!
When she woke up early the next morning, her private chats still showed 99+. Cheng Shuili clicked them open and saw a long string of red dots.
She flipped through a few; very few people wanted to cancel their transactions. Many had not paid attention to the regional channel during the day and didn't know that Crow could process basic water condensation devices. They only found out when they were surfing the channel at night and saw the message Crow had sent, so they immediately sent their trade requests.
This resulted in Cheng Shuili’s orders not decreasing at all overnight; instead, they had increased.
Cheng Shuili didn't even know what expression to make. She felt a sense of trance, like winning a five-million-dollar lottery. Her whole person felt as if she were walking on clouds in a dream—dazed and happy.
Although it wasn't quite that many game coins, it was foreseeable that this would definitely be a huge fortune!
At the very least, for this disaster and the next one, Cheng Shuili would not have to worry about game coins. Now, whether she refreshed the Trading Post or the beastman town, she could buy supplies as she pleased!
Su Rui stared at Cheng Shuili for a while, and once she was certain that the other person wouldn't be paying attention to her for a while, she opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water.
She closed the refrigerator door, looked at Cheng Shuili who was still in a daze, and silently opened the door to the driver's cab and went inside.
She took small sips while waiting for eight o'clock.
Her “master” was truly worthy of being number one on the leaderboard. Where else could someone else's vehicle hold up under the strain of moving for 12 hours straight during the day?
Cheng Shuili’s vehicle not only kept moving forward, but the battery level hadn't even dropped.
Su Rui guessed that this vehicle must have been modified and probably had solar panels or something similar installed. She was just a bit puzzled as to why absolutely nothing could be seen on the exterior.
That bit of curiosity wasn't enough to make her ask. Besides...
Su Rui glanced at Cheng Shuili inside the vehicle through the rearview mirror. The person was shaking her head, looking as if she had just woken from a dream.
Cheng Shuili had indeed been lost in her own world just now. After fantasizing about her future life, she couldn't wait to encounter a beastman town.
But before that, she had to finish today's orders.
Cheng Shuili hadn't expected that this custom processing run would last for three whole days! It wasn't until the final day of the extreme heat that Cheng Shuili finally finished the very last order.
In those three days, she worked ten hours a day and processed a total of 2,135 basic water condensation devices!
Her total income... was exactly 53,375 game coins.
Combined with the high-priced bread from these past two days—even though the price was higher, the sales were no different from before, with everything being snatched up the moment it was listed.
On the fourth day of the extreme heat, Cheng Shuili earned a full 3,960 game coins! Added to what she earned on the third day of extreme heat, her profits reached 4,797, far exceeding the 1,000 needed to unlock the honey bun!
After successfully unlocking it, the cooperation panel changed to this:
【Current Available Products】
【Ordinary Bread: Cost 5 game coins, base selling price 6 game coins, no cap on maximum price.
Toast: Cost 6 game coins, base selling price 7 game coins, no cap on maximum price.
Honey Bun: Cost 10 game coins, base selling price 11 game coins, no cap on maximum price!】
【Current Inventory: Ordinary Bread x0, Toast x0】
【Current total profit 4,797 game coins. Unlock new product after 1,000,000 game coins in profit: Magical European Bread!】
【Trial business successful! Starting tomorrow, you can choose the purchase quantity yourself. The maximum number of portions to purchase daily is 200! Please allocate reasonably!】
Cheng Shuili had originally been complaining about the system’s design; who skips from unlocking something at 1,000 game coins straight to one million? That long blank period in between made no sense at all.
Cheng Shuili, after clearly seeing what the unlock item was: “？？？”
She was supposed to sell something worth 3,000 game coins?
Huh?
Putting aside the function of this item, just looking at the price, could anyone afford to buy it?
However, this wasn't something Cheng Shuili needed to consider right now. The time required to accumulate the profit to one million would not be short at all; even if she earned 4,000 game coins every day, it would take 250 days.
And that was assuming an ideal situation, without considering the possibility of other beastmen reaching a cooperation agreement later, leading to mutual competition and price drops.
Besides... if it really reached that point, would there even be anyone left alive?
Cheng Shuili allocated the purchase amounts for each type of bread. The honey bun was a new product, so of course, she had to stock more of it.
In the end, she ordered 50 ordinary breads, 50 bags of toast, and 100 honey buns.
