Business Opportunity

Placing the three big stones increased the shelter's safety by another point.

Returning to the shelter, Wang Yu was ready to start his plan.

Meat was already hanging all over the fireplace in the shelter; this was all giant lizard meat.

Wang Yu had traded with a player named Fang Miaomiao for 32 Jin of giant lizard meat. Late last night, past three o'clock in the morning, he had used his dice to increase the quantity of this 32 Jin of giant lizard meat.

He chose to increase the quantity of giant lizard meat by 32 Jin at once. Since giant lizard meat generally tasted mediocre, Wang Yu could hang it over the fireplace to dry, without needing to store it in his [Backpack] for preservation. Therefore, the quantity increased at any time was fine.

He rolled the dice.

Five points.

Wang Yu rolled a five, his luck striking gold once again.

He increased his giant lizard meat by five portions of 32 Jin, adding to the original 32 Jin, for a total of 192 Jin of giant lizard meat.

Wang Yu hung all this meat on the fireplace using vines to dry it.

If he were to eat it himself, Wang Yu's current food supply would be enough for a year.

However, the giant lizard meat he increased with his dice was not for his own consumption.

Before increasing the giant lizard meat, Wang Yu had discovered in the [Chat Channel] that three days of heavy rain had caused floods everywhere in the wilderness, turning it into a vast ocean. Over ten thousand players had perished in the heavy rain and floods.

The surviving players were not faring much better. Many players' shelters hadn't even lasted the first day; some shelters were flipped over, while others were flooded with rainwater.

The heavy rain and floods had destroyed everything with overwhelming force.

Caught off guard, many players' stored firewood had been soaked by the rainwater. Some players managed to save some firewood, but the water inside their shelters was deep, leaving no dry spot to start a fire for cooking.

Heavy rain, floods.

Now, for many players, even a hot meal had become a luxury. In the [Chat Channel], players were racking their brains, discussing how to start a fire under these circumstances.

Wang Yu saw a business opportunity and came up with an idea: he could sell cooked food and profit from the price difference.

He had plenty of food and even more firewood. Previously, three one-meter-long logs had become fifteen after he used his dice to increase their quantity.

He used some to make furniture and daily necessities, leaving plenty more. Wang Yu chopped these into firewood and piled them next to the fireplace. This firewood could burn for a long time.

Moreover, the second floor of his shelter was stacked with wood, all of which could be increased in quantity with his dice and burned. Even if all the wood on the second floor were burned, his shelter was "decorated" with wood. If absolutely necessary, he could burn this wood as firewood for several months.

Looking at it this way, his firewood storage was excessive. He could completely use this firewood to "hustle" other players.

With this thought, Wang Yu used his dice to increase the quantity of giant lizard meat. He had a lot of giant lizard meat, 32 Jin of it, and since it didn't taste good, there was no need to store it. It was perfect for hustling others.

He used his dice to increase the quantity of giant lizard meat and unexpectedly rolled a five, giving him 192 Jin of giant lizard meat.

Wang Yu had no choice but to set up a wooden rack and hang the abundant Giant Lizard Meat on the fireplace to air dry with vines.

Above the fireplace, which was full of Giant Lizard Meat, Wang Yu took down a piece of Giant Lizard Meat and cut it into small pieces on the chopping board.

After doing all this, Wang Yu started a fire in the fireplace.

This fireplace was very large, with an inner diameter of forty centimeters, making it quite a substantial fireplace.

In the wilderness of the extreme night, players were suffering in the heavy rain. Their shelters were leaking everywhere, and they could only pray to survive these seven days of heavy rain, so that they could at least start a fire and cook some hot food.

[The berries I saved can last a few more days. I hope after the heavy rain, I can start a fire to cook.]

[I do have a place to start a fire, but all my firewood is soaked and won't light at all.]

[I saved some dry wood, but I don't dare to use it. If it burns up, and after the heavy rain, I won't have any firewood left to ignite.]

[For the past week, I've been searching for food. I have some food now, but I didn't expect that the firewood, which was everywhere before, has now become the most precious thing. I should have saved more firewood.]

[I've had enough of this life. Let it be destroyed.]

In the wilderness, the rain poured down. Players were idle in their shelters. They could only vent their frustrations in the [Chat Channel] about their situation. Some players were still discussing how to deal with the current predicament. Those who weren't speaking were also watching the messages in the [Chat Channel] to pass the agonizing time.

This life was too difficult to bear.

Suddenly, a prompt message popped up.

[Ding, Player Wang Yu has listed 50g*100 of homemade Giant Lizard Grilled Meat on the 'Trading Channel'.]

All players: "?"

They quickly clicked into the [Trading Channel] to check.

[Homemade Giant Lizard Grilled Meat 50g*100]

[Exchange Condition: 1. Any edible meat can be exchanged for one portion of grilled meat at a 2:1 ratio. 2. Each person can only exchange for one portion. 3. As the grilled meat uses edible salt, an additional 5g of edible salt is required for the exchange. 4. The first 10 players to exchange will receive a bowl of boiling water, container to be provided by the player.]

All players were dumbfounded. Was this person trying to sell grilled meat and do business?

[Wo Cao, this guy is Niu B! He's even doing business in the Survival Game system.]

[Meat 2:1 exchange for a portion of grilled meat. Did this guy's conscience get eaten by a dog? We're all so miserable, and he's still thinking of exploiting us.]

[We must resolutely resist this person, don't exchange for his grilled meat, we can't let this unscrupulous merchant succeed.]

[We are all compatriots, and now we are suffering, we should help each other and get through this together. He should donate the food, otherwise, we will dox him online after we get out.]

[Wo Cao, Wo Cao, in less than a minute, there's no grilled meat left. Weren't you guys going to resist? I hesitated and didn't make a move. What happened to your promised boycott?]

[Are you stupid? Over 80,000 people, only 100 portions of grilled meat. Do you still believe others would resist?]

[There are also people who want to get something for free. Their brains are completely broken. The Big Boss's exchange condition is incredibly generous. Even if he doubled the exchange condition, people would still rush to exchange. It's just that the limit is one portion, and 50g of grilled meat is not enough to eat.]

[TM, if you're going to do business, just do business. Why are you implementing purchase limits?]

Wang Yu watched as the 100 portions of grilled meat were quickly exchanged, which was within his expectations.

With a market of over 80,000 people, there was naturally no shortage of buyers for this small amount of grilled meat.

Each portion of Giant Lizard Grilled Meat was only 50g. Wang Yu did this intentionally. He wanted to fleece other Players, but he also didn't want any other Players to eat too much. Full Players were a threat to him.
