All morning, Wang Yu grilled 30 jin of Giant Lizard Meat in batches, yielding 60 jin of meat and 3 jin of Edible Salt.
It was a huge profit.
The key was that he could use Dice to increase the quantities of the 60 jin of meat and 3 jin of Edible Salt. When he did, he'd really make a killing.
After lunch, Wang Yu took a nap. There was nothing to do in the rain, so he'd set aside time for an afternoon nap. Even in a Survival Game, it was important to maintain good habits.
A little after three in the afternoon, Wang Yu could use Dice to increase item quantities again.
He'd originally planned to increase his supply of large stones and build a wall outside his shelter, but now his plans had changed.
Wang Yu checked his food, then took out the Wild Rat Meat. He had sixteen 360g portions that he hadn't used Dice to increase, as well as the 7 jin left over from a previous increase.
Wang Yu took out the sixteen portions of Wild Rat Meat. He was going to increase their quantity.
First, he threaded the sixteen portions onto Vines, then increased the quantity of one skewer of Wild Rat Meat.
He rolled the Dice.
Four.
Wang Yu rolled a four and increased the quantity by four skewers of Wild Rat Meat.
He took out the four new skewers. Wang Yu now had five skewers in total, each weighing 6,760g, or about 11.5 jin. The five skewers came to around 57.5 jin.
He still had 7 jin of Wild Rat Meat from before, bringing the total to 64.5 jin.
Wang Yu found Su Qingxue's name in his Friend List and sent her a message.
[Wang Yu: I've finished counting the meat. We can trade now.]
[Su Qingxue: Okay. Send me a Trade Request.]
Wang Yu put up the 64.5 jin of Wild Rat Meat and sent Su Qingxue a Trade Request.
[Wang Yu: 64.5 jin of meat at three silver coins per jin. I'll round it down and charge you 193 silver coins.]
[Su Qingxue: Okay.]
After Su Qingxue paid 193 silver coins, Wang Yu confirmed the trade.
He opened his [Personal Panel].
[Name: Wang Yu]
[Age: 24]
[Strength: 0.9]
[Agility: 0.8]
[Mental Power: 1.2]
[Equipment: Cat Eye]
[Wealth: Copper Coin*2456, Silver Coin*195]
With 195 silver coins—and one silver coin worth 10,000 yuan—he had around two million yuan's worth of money.
Wang Yu still had plenty of food, including more than 160 jin of Giant Lizard Meat. But he didn't want to sell the Society so much that they had more than enough, and he needed to keep a good supply for himself, too. As for the Giant Lizard Meat, it was better to use it to Hao Yangmao.
[Su Qingxue: Do you have any food to spare? We can buy more.
I saw that you put up 50 jin of berries in the 'Trading Channel' earlier. You don't have anywhere to store that many, and you can't eat them all, so you could sell some to me.]
[Wang Yu: Sure. I'll sell you fifty jin.]
[Su Qingxue: Okay. I'll buy them for one silver coin per jin.]
Wang Yu had already been planning to get rid of some berries. He took Two Large Baskets of them off the [Trading Channel] and sent Su Qingxue a Trade Request.
After Su Qingxue paid 50 silver coins, Wang Yu confirmed the trade.
He'd earned another 50 silver coins.
[Wealth: Copper Coin*2456, Silver Coin*245]
Then Su Qingxue sent another message.
[Su Qingxue: I saw that you listed grilled meat in exchange for Edible Salt. You must have earned quite a bit of salt, right? I can buy your salt with Game Currency.]
[Wang Yu: Are you really trying to buy me out?]
[Su Qingxue: No. I believe you're only putting a small portion of your supplies up for sale. Given the situation, no one would be foolish enough to choose money over their life.]
[Wang Yu: What price are you offering for the Edible Salt?]
[Su Qingxue: You're the seller, so you name the price.]
[Wang Yu: Ten silver coins per jin of Edible Salt.]
[Su Qingxue: You really are asking for the moon.]
[Wang Yu: You think that's too expensive?]
[Su Qingxue: Vegetables go for one silver coin per jin, and meat for three. Given our situation, what do you think matters more: a jin of food or a jin of salt?]
[Wang Yu: You really have a way with words. Salt is obviously worth more per jin, but the way you put it, you'd think it was worth less than food. I won't haggle with you. Eight silver coins per jin of Edible Salt.]
[Su Qingxue: Three silver coins per jin, the same price as meat.]
[Wang Yu: No. Six silver coins per jin.]
[Su Qingxue: Four silver coins.]
[Wang Yu: Five silver coins.]
[Su Qingxue: Deal.]
Wang Yu felt like he'd been shortchanged again. Edible Salt was obviously scarce in the wilderness, yet it seemed so hard to sell it for a high price. It was true that people could manage without salt for now, but they couldn't go without food. Was a jin of salt really worth less than a jin of grain?
Fine. Five silver coins per jin it was. He could get plenty of Edible Salt by using Hao Yangmao, anyway.
Wang Yu had eight 200g packets of Edible Salt. He took out three jin and traded it to Su Qingxue.
He'd earned another 15 silver coins.
[Wealth: Copper Coin*2456, Silver Coin*260]
He'd used Dice to increase the quantity of this salt earlier. He'd earned three jin of salt in the morning, then used Dice to increase the quantity again, so now he had plenty more.
Once the trade was complete, Wang Yu messaged Su Qingxue.
[Wang Yu: You said your friend had started a Society. What was it called? If I run into them, I'd rather avoid any misunderstandings.]
[Su Qingxue: It's called the 'Qinghong Society.' If you run into its members in the Survival Game, summon 'Big Cat' and give them my name. If there's any misunderstanding, I'll help sort it out.]
The Qinghong Society? Wang Yu was taken aback.
Her friend had started that Society?
Ever since the game began, the Qinghong Society had been recruiting members everywhere. It was by far the most prominent Society. One Player had said that apart from the military's Special Action Group, 'Qiming,' which had never once shown itself, the Qinghong Society was probably the largest organization in the game.
He hadn't expected Su Qingxue's friend to be behind the Qinghong Society.
That Society was huge.
No wonder Su Qingxue was so generous. Her friend had started such a massive Society. Would he be short on money? Obviously not.
If he ran into Qinghong Society Players in the future, he could summon Big Cat to avoid unnecessary trouble. He just didn't know whether Su Qingxue's name carried enough weight.
After trading with Su Qingxue, Wang Yu's wealth had grown considerably.
After that, he got busy. He spent the afternoon grilling Giant Lizard Meat to Hao Yangmao. Now that he was earning large amounts of meat, he had a reliable way to sell it even if he couldn't eat it all.
Come to think of it, the Qinghong Society wanted food, not grilled meat, which meant they could cook over a fire. It looked like he couldn't get any wool from them.
With more than eighty thousand Players, he'd surely find other people to fleece.
After grilling 10 jin of Giant Lizard Meat, Wang Yu put it up in the [Trading Channel].
[Ping! Player Wang Yu has listed 100 portions of homemade Giant Lizard Grilled Meat, 50g each, in the 'Trading Channel.']
It sold out instantly. Players had gotten good at snapping up the grilled meat.
In a single day, Wang Yu sold 90 jin of Giant Lizard Grilled Meat and was exhausted.
But the profits were considerable: 180 jin of meat and 9 jin of Edible Salt.
