147: Give me your money back!

"Shao Tianlong: Knock on your tile! Refund!"

Shao Tianlong was furious at this moment. It's one thing to scam him, but to make him scam his own brothers and sisters?

But he also blamed himself for being too anxious. Seeing his transactions with other Guilds, he was afraid there would be nothing left when it was his turn.

If he had calmed down, he could have easily made the other party trade 100 items at a time. If the clothing didn't meet his expectations, he could have paused the transaction to minimize losses.

But now, it was too late to say anything. The in-game trading system had no complaint function, and correspondingly, no evaluation function. Now he could only swallow this bitter pill.

Although these unclean clothes didn't affect warmth, he still couldn't swallow his anger. He had always been the one to fool others; how could someone fool him?

He planned to accuse this evil deed in the regional chat. Then, hundreds of words flowed out like a spring. Shao Tianlong carefully examined this highly 'mother-containing' accusation, nodded with satisfaction, and just as he was about to click send, his expression changed.

He thought about it, wouldn't that just benefit other Guilds?

In the end, wouldn't he be the only one losing out?

No, he still had to talk to this dead swindler.

"Lin Yue: Don't curse. Think about it..."

"Shao Tianlong: Knock on your tile! Dead swindler! Refund!"

"Lin Yue: Don't curse. Anyway, you're not wearing them yourself, are you? Aren't there some clean clothes among them?"

"Shao Tianlong: Knock on your tile! Dead swindler! You still want me to scam my brothers and sisters! Refund!"

"Lin Yue: How about I send you another two hundred pieces? What do you think?"

"Shao Tianlong: Okay!"

Shao Tianlong was overjoyed. Among those clothes, even the least clean set had excellent warming effects. He just wanted to vent his anger; he didn't expect such an unexpected gain?

Then Shao Tianlong quickly edited a trading link and sent it over.

"Lin Yue: Let me say this beforehand, the two hundred extra pieces are all not clean clothes."

"Shao Tianlong: It's fine. At this point, warmth is the most important thing. I don't care about such details as whether they are clean or not!"

Lin Yue's mouth twitched. Seeing the trading link come through, he sighed and selected two hundred of the worst items before sending them over.

He had experienced this kind of thing many times today and was already well-versed in it.

Shao Tianlong was also very satisfied. Currently, warmth was the most important thing. For clothes that could save lives, who cared if they looked good or if dead people wore them?

If someone wearing a mink coat appeared at the entrance of his camp, he wouldn't mind personally dealing with him and then putting the coat on himself!

He had made a profit today!

Then he distributed the twelve hundred sets of clothing. Players chose first, two sets per person, for better warmth.

The remaining six hundred-plus items were distributed to some drifters with higher Martial Power, preparing them to go out and collect firewood and other resources for heating.

Lin Yue silently closed the conversation with him and then began conversing with players who had sent him friend requests.

He had never been so tired. Sometimes, some players made him speechless, and other times he felt like a shrewd merchant. He was tormented by the constant switching between these two emotions, his spirit greatly ravaged.

Until the stars twinkled, Lin Yue looked at the empty warehouse, smiled contentedly, then stretched and walked out. Only after leaving the warehouse did he realize that the first snow had stopped outside.

Today, he sold out over fifty thousand sets of Xiongnu people fur coats, pants, and shoes, totaling twenty-one thousand six hundred taels of silver. He probably collected all the silver that players in the nearby mountains had painstakingly earned over several months!

But he was also secretly surprised. Although the players were hiding in the mountains, their influence was definitely not small, which could be seen from the fact that his fifty thousand sets of clothing sold out in one day. Moreover, his friend request count was still constantly rising, suggesting that many more players who were still freezing wanted to buy.

This was only the Shang Commandery, one county's area. The number of players and drifters in other counties would definitely not be small.

And with their fierce folk customs, their combat power would surely not be too weak. Some players even asked him if he had picked up warhorses and weapons after learning that his clothes were indeed salvaged from corpses.

There were even some who immediately asked for two thousand bows and one hundred thousand arrows. The Great Qin's control over ranged weapons was still very strict. He wasn't Zhuge Liang; where would he conjure so many weapons?

Although there were some in the Military Camp, he dared not commit the crime of buying and selling military equipment. That was a crime punishable by extermination of the nine generations of one's family. Although there were no nine generations of his family in the game, he was currently part of the Great Qin faction, so how could he possibly aid Mountain Bandits?

It seemed the Great Wall Legion's attention was all on the Xiongnu people, and they didn't have the energy to deal with the Mountain Bandits hiding in the mountains, which led to their rampant growth.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind, but it was late today. He smiled and returned to his barracks, content, to sleep.

Meanwhile, Shao Tianlong, on the mountain, couldn't sleep as he looked at his empty backpack.

"Guild Master, why aren't you sleeping?" Chen Wang asked.

"You sleep. I'm thinking about what we should do next," Shao Tianlong sighed and said.

"Haven't our heating problems been solved? We cut a lot of firewood this afternoon, and we have enough food to eat," Chen Wang looked at the Guild Master with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, you sleep," Shao Tianlong said helplessly.

Watching Chen Wang turn over and wrap himself in his clothes, he secretly sighed.

The Tianlong Guild had over two thousand people in total, but only less than a week's worth of food. If the food problem wasn't solved, another crisis would erupt, but they were all immersed in the happiness of being in a warm environment, sleeping soundly, and no one noticed this problem.

The entire Guild was full of fools who only knew how to fight and kill. Only he was here, toiling and worrying.

Previously, for the Guild's survival, they had no choice but to prioritize recruiting players with high combat power. Now that the Tianlong Guild had been a level two Guild for a long time, it was time to change their strategy and find a few quick-witted people to join.

"In the future, I can't always exchange silver for dragon coins. That way, we can advance to a level three Guild sooner," Shao Tianlong said with a bitter smile. Because of his mistake, the silver that should have been exchanged for food and supplies was exchanged for dragon coins into reality, leading to the current situation full of crises. He was very regretful.

Shao Tianlong sighed. Now, only two paths lay before them.

One was to go down the mountain and rob villagers! In the game, the Great Qin enjoyed favorable weather, and the granaries in the villages stored a lot of food. As long as they were fast enough, they still had a chance to escape back.

The second was to rob other Guilds on the mountain. As long as they robbed a few more, they could also get through this winter!

He thought alone for a long time and finally chose the second path because he had witnessed the terror of the Qin Army when he first started playing the game.
