Chapter 465: Chapter 461: Lots of Rich People
I saw some big shot bought that ridiculous napa cabbage. Holy crap, ten Second-order Crystal Cores for one napa cabbage, who the hell is that?
A shill, definitely a shill! It has to be a shill!!
If they weren’t a shill, how could they upload so many items? I’ve seen other people only have a few slots to sell things, but how does this shop owner have so many??
The person above is telling the truth. I think it’s super weird, too. I’ve been browsing, and most shops only have four or six slots to sell items. I counted this one, and it has a thousand. What kind of international joke is this?
Everyone, let’s band together and not buy anything! Let’s make this crooked shop go out of business ASAP!
Xie Ning scrolled through the comments, finding it all rather amusing.
Many people seemed resistant, but the bok choy and ham sausages had still sold out...
So, this world was definitely not short on truly rich people!
Xie Ning knew the system’s backend couldn’t possibly grasp the mindset of Earth people.
A fresh, crisp napa cabbage was definitely a good buy. After all, it was an extremely nutritious napa cabbage.
Besides, after eating dirt and sand for over a year, who in their right mind wouldn’t buy such a succulent napa cabbage upon seeing it?
The rich didn’t care about a few Crystal Cores anyway.
To maximize her haul of Crystal Cores from the X Realm, Xie Ning had priced her bok choy half-and-half during the trial period.
She charged half in points and half in Crystal Cores. The goal was to test whether anyone would actually pay with Crystal Cores.
The results were quite gratifying.
Xie Ning didn’t actually need points. After all, if she wanted anything from the X Realm, she could just have Little Spider hack it...
But it was fine to have points now. She could just do some legitimate shopping.
Besides, these points could be used to buy supplies from other merchants, so keeping some normal points on hand wasn’t a bad idea.
Hacking the X Realm on a whim was no problem for her, but she wouldn’t do it to other ordinary merchants.
Her quality of life was already far better than most people’s these days. There was no need to hack those who were struggling to make a living.
Xie Ning silently browsed through the system’s marketplace, looking at the shops selling all sorts of miscellaneous little things.
There were quite a few selling jade, gold, and silver jewelry, but these shops were mostly deserted.
Almost no one was selling daily necessities; those were scarce goods.
After a quick look around, Xie Ning closed the system marketplace page and returned to the main interface.
She turned her head and saw her sister was also fiddling with the system marketplace page.
The backend page showed the shop name: Earning Money to Support the Family.
Initial shop slots: two...
Xie Ning glanced at her sister expressionlessly. She saw Xinxin unclench her fist, revealing a small, bright fire seed resting quietly in her palm.
Beside them, Comrade Ji Taixian was fawning like a little eunuch, piling on the praise. "Xinxin, you’re amazing! You can even change the shape of the flame like this now."
Xie Ning watched, a little stunned, as her sister manipulated the backend interface to upload the fire seed.
"That works??"
As it turned out, it really did work.
DING-DONG. A notification popped up on the system’s backend interface: A magical fire seed. Purchasing it grants the blessing of fire. This seed can keep a ten-square-meter area as warm as spring for forty-eight hours. System suggested price: three points. Ordinary people must prepare their own container and be careful to avoid burns from the flame.
After uploading two fire seeds, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Song Kexin’s forehead.
It seemed this slick move was quite draining on her superpower.
Song Kexin pulled out a bottle of superpower water and took a sip, then turned to her sister with a smile. "Sis, am I amazing or what?"
Xie Ning’s eyes lit up instantly.
’That’s right, my "smurf" account can also open a shop. I could specialize in selling the knives and swords I make. They’d probably sell well.’
’That way, I can pretty much use up all my superpower by the end of the day. I can practice my superpower and earn money to support the family at the same time...’
"Xinxin, you’re such a little genius." Xie Ning reached out to hug her sister, then excitedly opened her own system backend.
Song Kexin leaned in for a look. "Sister, your high-end custom bracelet is really different from our basic little trash version. You get twenty slots for your shop right from the start!"
"They say our kind of bracelet gets six shop slots at most."
Xie Ning nodded slightly. "Mhm."
Song Kexin pouted. "It’s obvious that Global Superpower Academy has bad intentions toward you, Sister."
’If they think they can lure my sister over with these petty favors, no way!’
Amused, Xie Ning ruffled her head. "If you make more fire seeds, I’ll help you list them for sale."
Then she casually gave her shop a name: Earning Money to Support the Family 2
The two sisters looked at each other and both burst out laughing.
Xie Ning casually made ten Metal Knives and listed them, then closed the marketplace backend and exited.
When she turned and saw the envious look in Song Kexin’s eyes, Xie Ning raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong?"
"I feel like there’s a world of difference between my superpower energy and yours, Sister."
’Seeing Sister casually make ten knives without breaking a sweat is seriously enviable.’
’I just made two little fire seeds and was almost dead tired...’
Xie Ning patted her on the shoulder. "It’s fine. Practice more. It’s also good for expanding and improving your superpower energy."
"Mhm!"
Just as they were talking, a shout suddenly came from the door.
Xiao Wu reached out and opened the car door. "What is it?"
The young man who ran up was also a member of Team A. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he ran straight to Xie Ning and bowed. "Captain Xie, my, our boss wants you to come over."
Without a word, Xie Ning stood up and followed the young man out of the vehicle.
"Lock the door," she reminded them.
Xiao Wu nodded. After the two got out, he immediately shut the door tightly, blocking the wind and sand blowing in from outside.
Now the benefit of having Zhu Yong, the Earth Ability User, sitting in the front row by the window was clear.
Any sand that blew in would be controlled by him, separated out, and tossed back outside.
Xie Ning pulled on the hood of her thin down jacket, wrapped her scarf tightly, and followed the Team A member forward. "Is there a problem with the car?"
"The wheels won’t work. Boss said there’s no need to change the tires, that Captain Xie has a way to fix it." The team member had a slight look of exasperation. "I asked him how, but he wouldn’t say. He just smiled mysteriously."
Xie Ning was both amused and annoyed. ’I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and you’re already giving me more damn work!’
"It’s fine." Xie Ning faced the wind and sand as she followed the Team A member. "Let’s go take a look first."
"Captain Xie, this way." The team member led her past several vehicles, and the people inside all pressed up against the windows to watch them.
Xie Ning didn’t know that the system’s main group chat had started buzzing again.
Many people were discussing how they saw Xie Ning being pulled to the front to provide support and so on. Some busybodies were even looking around, preparing to get out of their cars for a better look.
Xie Ning followed the Team A member to the spot and saw a masked Gu Chen waving energetically at her.
"Ningning, over here."
"Captain Xie."
As Xie Ning walked over, she was practically the center of attention.
