Chapter 4: A Gift from a Local Tyrant

Since the first customer has reappeared, the eyes from the surrounding area increased instantly. Lan Ke looked at the customer who had helped her a lot with satisfaction. However, she did not compromise: "Limited to one serving at a time. I'm not selling more, thank you."

"What do you mean by limited to one serving? Can't I buy three servings?" He still wants to buy it for his family to try. How can it be limited for only one serving?

"Limiting one serving means that you can only buy one at a time, but..." Lan Ke paused on purpose and then said calmly, "If this friend likes it, you can buy it a few more times."

The system was puzzled: "Host, why should it be sold several times?"

Lan Ke curled her lips: "You're still asking me? Isn't this what you told me that no matter how much I sell in one transaction, it could only count as one accumulation point? If I want to earn points, of course, I have to sell it several times!"

The system was immediately dumbfounded: "So this could be done!" Isn't it just a few points? As for that! Its host was too good at planning!

Lan Ke laughed and said nothing. Who was she? In order to gain credibility, those online shop sellers can sell one string of beads per checkout!

They communicate with ideas that no one else could hear. Although the first customer was baffled, he obediently bought it three times, giving Lan Ke another three points. With the previous two transactions, she has earned 5 accumulation points!

If she wants to become a junior universe merchant, she must earn 100 accumulation points. Lan Ke currently only has 5 points, which seems to be very few. But she still has a full month and thus she definitely still has time!

The first customer bought the grilled Naohua and left, but the second customer did not leave. Instead, he stood aside and watched with relish.

"This friend seems to be a talent and can even think of such a good idea. It's really admirable." He said, "Well, I'll take all the food you have here. I'll buy as many times as you have.

As soon as these words came out, the people around who had been watching the show were suddenly dumbfounded. They wanted to eat too, so what would they eat if he bought it all?

Lan Ke was also cunning. She deliberately used her secret recipe. The Naohua soaked in oil and spices are really fragrant after roasting. Even if you don't have a strong appetite, you can't help but want to have a taste due to its domineering scent.

If Lan Ke hadn't set the price too high, these people would have lined up long ago. Originally, they were thinking that the price was too high and no one would buy it, so they only need to deliberately give Lan Ke a cold shoulder. If Lan Ke couldn't sell it, she would definitely reduce the price.

No one had expected that a silly fool would suddenly appear and even wanted to buy it all! If it's not that he has too many points to spend, then what is it?

But Lan Ke had some regrets. She just came to test the waters today, so she only prepared 20 Naohua in total. If she knew she would meet a local tyrant, she would have prepared 100 servings!

Five servings of grilled Naohua has been sold and the remaining total was 15 servings. Even if it was sold 15 times, it will soon be sold out. 15 servings of grilled Naohua was 150 trading points, plus the previous transaction, it'll be a total of 160 trading points. At the same time, her accumulation points have changed from 5 to 20, leaving only 80 points from her target of 100 accumulation points.

The system looked at the progress bar behind their accumulation points and it felt so happy that it could faint: "Host, host, there's still time now, let's restock right away! Let's take advantage of this good momentum to earn more!"

Lan Ke ignored it. Instead, she raised her voice and said, "It's sold out today. If any of you are interested, please come here to find me at 12 o'clock at noon tomorrow."

After saying this, Lan Ke immediately left the system's space and returned to reality.

The system couldn't fathom: "Host, why did you stop selling? It's obviously still early? It's only 3 o'clock in the afternoon!"

Lan Ke lazily leaned on the sofa: "Are you stupid? The rarer the thing is, the greater its value. Don't you know how to wait for a good offer or hunger marketing? The more attainable the item is, the little it's worth. All I had to do is to not let them eat it!"

If you want to scheme against her, then you better check if you really have that ability!

For so many years, at least Lan Ke has been rolling in the apocalypse. How can she not know the schemes of those people? Want to force her to sell at a low price? Dream on!

Lan Ke thought about it and decided to add another soft bean curd in addition to the grilled Naohua tomorrow! She had stoked their appetites today, but it would be bad if she won’t sell the grilled Naohua tomorrow. However, although the grilled Naohua was fragrant, it has a heavy taste. If you eat too much, you will get tired. The soft bean curd is delicious and sweet, it's just perfect to relieve the greasiness.

Wait till she establishes her reputation and she will gradually increase the variety, which will not only attract people's appetite, but also maintain a sense of freshness. She's confident that those people will definitely take the bait!

It will be the end of the world soon. When her ability awakens, the things she makes will only be better. Even if someone bought the thing she made and takes it back to study it, she doesn't have to worry about being imitated.

Thinking of the dishes she made in her previous life, Lan Ke couldn't help but swallow her saliva. It was so delicious!

All of a sudden, the system screamed excitedly: "Host, host! Two people have added you as a friend! Those two who just bought the grilled Naohua! Hurry and accept them!"

"Add friends? Accept!" Lan Ke opened the system panel curiously. Sure enough, she saw that there was an additional friend bar on the panel, with two names on display: [Ruthless Swordsman] [Tribal Warrior]

These two names are naturally codenames and not their real names. Lan Ke immediately looked at her name, which was only a string of numbers. She thought about it and immediately changed her name to [Master of Delicacies], which was clear at a glance.

The system was very excited: "Host, you're in luck. You added two friends on the first day of your transaction, your future transactions will be much more convenient!"

Lan Ke nodded. This was true, but there's no need to trade right now, thus she simply put the matter down and thought of the inventory space. After several times of testing, Lan Ke finally tried the maximum capacity of the inventory space!

First of all, it's not absolute that the inventory space can only hold one kind of thing. For example, mushrooms can still be put into the inventory space by packaging it in bags or storage boxes. However, if there's more than one type of mushroom in the bag, the system will not recognize it. That is to say, packing the same kind of mushroom in one bag can be regarded as one item.

Second, a single item must not exceed 100 jin and once it exceeds, it will be counted as 2 items. In other words, in order to maximize the use of the inventory space, it's best to pack each into 100 jin.

After Lan Ke thought about these things, she immediately went out to make a big purchase and spent 1,000 yuan using her card. At 12 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, she once again brought things into the free trading district.

Probably it was too much stimulation yesterday that there were many people in the free trading district. As soon as the scent of the grilled Naohua came out, there was a long line in front of Lan Ke's small stall.

However, to Lan Ke's surprise, the first in line was [Relentless Swordsman], who seemed to have been waiting for her.

This person was really a local tyrant. Not only did he buy 20 portions of grilled Naohua, he also ordered 20 portions of soft bean curd. Because of the purchase limit of one serving at a time, he bought it for 40 times, which is not a bit annoying!

"By the way, this little thing is for you." The person has disappeared and only left his gift.

Lan Ke was speechless while looking at the thing in her hand, but the system suddenly screamed: "Oh my God! You've made a lot of money this time!"

T/N: just to clarify, out of 20 Naohua, 16 has been bought with trading points and the remaining 4 was traded with the white cloud mushrooms.

Soft bean curd:
