256: Happy Fat House Water (3)

"Kid!" She Jian strode into Lin Yue's tent and shouted, "Don't sleep, wake up quickly."

Lin Yue ignored him, casually pointing to the twenty cans of happy fatty water on the table.

She Jian's eyes lit up, and he instantly placed them into his spatial ring, complaining as he did so, "This wasteful child, isn't he afraid they'll get warm if left for too long?"

Lin Yue paid no attention to She Jian's chattering. He thought She Jian would leave after taking the happy fatty water, but to his surprise, She Jian asked, "How many cans in total?"

"These are the last twenty," Lin Yue replied.

"You have good things and don't even tell me earlier," She Jian said with some dissatisfaction, then muttered to himself:

"General Yang Wengzi wants three cans, saying he wants his old father, General Yang Duanhe, who is an old veteran of Great Qin, to try them. He's an elder, so I can't not give them. His nephew General Yang Xiong also helped you, so I have to give him one.

General Dong Zhuo wants five, saying he has a big stomach and wants two, plus one for his old mother, and one each for his grandson and granddaughter.

General Zhao Ben wants three, saying he wants his clansmen to try them.

General Wang Li must get five. If I give him fewer than others, I'm afraid he'll kill me.

Su Jiao begged and pleaded for one can. An old brother opening his mouth, I can't not give him.

And there's Old Wang, Old Li, Liu He, Gao Hui, and the others..." She Jian's voice suddenly rose, and he frantically patted Lin Yue.

"It's over, this isn't enough!"

"How is it not enough? I'm listening, isn't it just right?" Lin Yue asked.

"Where is it just right? General General Meng Tian and Prince Fusu haven't gotten any yet!" She Jian said, wide-eyed.

"Oh no!" Lin Yue suddenly realized it really wasn't enough!

"Quick, think of a solution," She Jian said, shaking Lin Yue non-stop, his face anxious.

"Wait, wait, let me think of a solution," Lin Yue thought hard, then tentatively asked, "Should we reduce some people's share, or just not give to some less important people?"

She Jian heard this and angrily said, "Haven't you heard the idiom 'Two peaches kill three warriors'?

People in the military are most concerned about their pride. Tell me who you don't want to give to, and I'll help you spread the word to see if anyone comes looking for you."

"Alright, alright, stop shaking me!" Lin Yue, feeling a bit dizzy from the shaking, couldn't help but say, "How about this, you wait, I'll think of a solution."

"There are no outsiders here, what solution could you possibly have?" She Jian asked.

"There are some outsiders near my Fief. I'll write a letter back and have them ask around," Lin Yue said.

"How confident are you?" She Jian asked, his eyes wide.

"It should..." Lin Yue was halfway through his sentence when he accidentally glimpsed She Jian's face, and quickly said, "Definitely!"

Because he felt that if he didn't give a definite answer, She Jian might do something unexpected.

"Alright, don't rush. You said you also need time. As long as you hide all this happy fatty water first, it'll be fine," Lin Yue said.

"Okay," She Jian nodded, then asked with piercing eyes, "Are you sure this 'water' was captured from outsiders?"

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded. The key was that no matter how anachronistic the game was, if happy fatty water could be produced locally in Great Qin, it would be too immersion-breaking!

"Alright then, I'll also have some of my old friends ask around," She Jian nodded.

"Then I'm leaving. Give me news as soon as possible," She Jian said, then hurried out. He had the air of a greenwood hero writing a letter to call upon friends.

Lin Yue rubbed his forehead, then opened the game's Glory Shop, finding that it indeed wasn't for sale. He then went to the regional chat channel and found that there were hardly any players. After thinking for a moment, he could only exit the game.

He had originally gotten it from a lucky small treasure chest. With so many players in this game, surely someone else could open some happy fatty water just like him!

"Phew!" Lin Yue got up from the game pod and quickly logged onto the forum.

"Rainy Night with Knife, No Umbrella: Urgently buying happy fatty water with heavy rewards!"

Lin Yue posted a thread!

Soon, countless messages popped up. It seemed that the recent Glory Shop test had led to frequent battles between players, and many players had returned to reality after dying, otherwise there wouldn't be so many replies so quickly.

"I Love Finding Faults: If the OP wants to drink, go back to reality and drink it. Why be so finicky and insist on drinking it in the game?"

Lin Yue immediately blocked such people, searching for useful information among the many messages.

"I remember I have a few in my backpack. How much is the OP willing to pay for one?"

"Rainy Night with Knife, No Umbrella: 20 copper coins."

Lin Yue said. Although he didn't often bargain in reality, he still understood the basic principles.

Finally, after some bargaining, Lin Yue set the price at one hundred copper coins per can. There was no other way; it was an emergency, and Lin Yue was willing to pay a bit more, as he was rich now.

At the same time, he also offered two taels of silver to buy some lucky small treasure chests, planning to open some blind boxes to see what other strange items he could find.

After all, it was a common consensus among players that lucky small treasure chests didn't yield good things. So the price kept dropping. Some cautious players preferred to exchange lucky small treasure chests for liquid currency, so two taels of silver was also acceptable.

After all, two taels of silver in the game, with the grain prices after Great Qin's nearly ten years of favorable weather, was enough for a player to live comfortably for a long time.

After leaving his contact information, Lin Yue hurriedly entered the game pod. After all, it was daytime in the game, and he was afraid of being discovered if he left for too long.

Upon returning to the game, Lin Yue received messages from several people adding him as a friend. After some operations, Lin Yue spent a total of ten taels of silver, acquired 100 cans of happy fatty water, and also received three lucky small treasure chests.

"These hundred cans of happy fatty water should be enough for a while," Lin Yue thought to himself, "But I can't give them to She Jian so quickly, otherwise I won't be able to explain."

But Lin Yue received another friend request. After Lin Yue added him, the other party asked.

"Friend, I have a hundred cans of happy fatty water. Are you still buying?"

"Yes, wait for me to create a trade link," Lin Yue replied.

"Wait, I have other kinds of water. Do you want them?"

"What?"

"I have 'Cool and Refreshing,' and various flavors of carbonated drinks. Do you want them?"

"How many in total?" Lin Yue asked.

"About a thousand bottles, I guess. I usually like to drink them, so I always buy them on the forum. I feel that the indigenous people in the game will definitely like these drinks. It's a pity I was a Mountain Bandit before and didn't know many indigenous people."

"That many?" Lin Yue was surprised, and also impressed by this person's business acumen. All he lacked now was a platform.

"How about this, I'll buy them for two hundred copper coins, and then you can help me acquire them long-term in the future. I'll buy them all at two hundred copper coins," Lin Yue said.

"Okay!"

Then the two traded. Lin Yue bought various drinks for two hundred taels of silver and silently remembered his name.

Lin Yue had no choice but to buy several spatial beads from the system's Glory Shop, otherwise, he couldn't fit so many drinks.

Meanwhile, in a certain commandery of Great Qin, a young man threw down his tools and cheered!

With these two hundred taels of silver, he could make arrangements to obtain household registration without labor service!
