Chapter 221: Perfume Resale

"Since you have the item card, why not keep it? Predictive item cards like that seem to be quite rare."

Lin Yun sighed. To express his gratitude, he had even used a prop card that allowed him to foresee the future. It was hard to tell whether he was stupid or naive.

Shi Yu said, "It’s all right. If it weren’t for you guys, I might have lain there until I died without anyone helping me. Or when no one was around, they might have come back to cause trouble for me, and then..." He pursed his lips. "May I know your name?"

"Lin Yun." Lin Yun rubbed her temples helplessly. "You should find a place to stay as soon as possible. Monsters appear at night."

Shi Yu nodded. "Okay, I will. Thank you. My name is Shi Yu."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside. Lin Yun did not say anything more, patted Sang Biao, and made him walk forward.

After Lin Yun left, Shi Yu withdrew his gaze. Actually, he had his own selfish reasons for waiting for her here. He had originally wanted to borrow ten points from her to buy racial perfume. But he swallowed the words back. She had already helped him once. How could he still have the nerve to ask to borrow points from her? In this situation, borrowing points from someone else was not a good idea at all.

Shi Yu stood there for a while, then left. Lin Yun was right. Monsters appeared at night, and he needed to hurry and find a place to stay. If only the gold coins he had could be converted into points, but he really had none. He could not complete some tasks and therefore could not earn points, and the acquisition tasks would only worsen his shortage of resources. Shi Yu sighed and gradually walked away.

After confirming that Shi Yu had not followed, Lin Yun told Sang Biao to speed up and return to the house.

For the rest of the day, Lin Yun did not go out again and stayed in the house. As she enjoyed her meal and browsed the special channel, she discovered that on only the second day in this world, someone was already selling racial perfumes in the channel.

Didn’t these people ever go out? Why were they selling racial perfumes? Besides, everyone had points and could buy a bottle every day. Was there a market for that?

But believe it or not, there actually was a market.

Li Dayi: "Looking to buy a bottle of racial perfume! Anyone selling?"

Baili Sheng: "? Don’t you have your own? Why do you need to buy one?"

Li Dayi: "Because not all races are welcome, damn it. The racial perfume I used today turned out to be a stinkbug. People point and whisper about me whenever I go out. So I have to find a way to buy an extra bottle, so that I don’t end up with that perfume on me again someday."

Wang Zuqiang: "I’m selling perfume. I didn’t go out today. I bought a bottle I’ve never used before, but I don’t know what kind of perfume it is. Do you want it?"

Li Dayi: "@Wang Zuqiang, I want it! How many points?"

Wang Zuqiang: "20 points."

Li Dayi: "???"

Bai Xiaoxiao: "?? Are you crazy? A bottle only costs a dozen or so points, and you’re asking for 20? Are you trying to rip him off?"

Qi Zhu: "Wow, I don’t even dare to speak like that when I’m picking a fight."

Wang Zuqiang: "So what? Take it or leave it. I’m not selling it to you anyway, since you don’t even have the points yet."

Wang Zuqiang was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a glass of red wine, looking very relaxed. At his feet, a squirrel tribesman gazed at him adoringly and massaged his legs.

He had been introduced to this world just yesterday when he encountered a squirrel named Shu Zhi, who was gathering mushrooms in the forest. He had initially been afraid that the other person would kill him, but after seeing him, the man had gone crazy and become infatuated with him. Since it was offered to him, Wang Zuqiang naturally did not refuse. Under his deliberate seduction, Shu Zhi had taken him back to his residence, so he had not used any racial perfume for the past two days.

But he had bought them all, just in case someone needed them. Then he could make a profit.

Li Dayi: "Tch, even if you’re selling, I won’t buy from you."

Li Dayi: "Contact me anytime if someone else is selling. I’ll buy as long as the price is reasonable."

Dong Nian: "I... I... I’ll sell one bottle!"

Dong Nian: "Hehe, I haven’t even had a chance to use perfume since I was thrown into jail yesterday, so the price is negotiable!"

Gao Qin: "...Aren’t you afraid you’ll end up using an unappealing racial perfume too?"

Dong Nian: "Good question, but I’m still in jail."

Gao Qin: "...My sister is so pitiful."

Qi Zhu: "...I’m in a pretty bad situation too. I haven’t left the prison either. These rats are guarding the outside. I can’t escape. There’s no way I can escape!"

[Host, there’s a random mission here~]

Lin Yun grew wary. "What mission? Tell me first, and I’ll see whether I should accept it."

[See those two survivors in jail in the channel? Try to rescue them when you go to Monster City tomorrow.]

"Damn it, even though we always insult each other and dislike each other, I don’t deserve to die, do I?"

Lin Yun was surprised, not expecting such a random task. Wasn’t this just kicking her into a pit? What qualifications or status did she have to go into a prison and rescue people, as if she were afraid the giant rats would not be able to kill them?

[???]

[Host, how could you think of me like that! You need to believe in yourself!]

"I can’t!" Lin Yun shook her head firmly.

[Random Mission: Rescue Dong Nian and Qi Zhu from prison.]

Task Reward: 20 gold coins, 50 points.

[Host, it’s 20 gold coins and 50 points. Are you really not going to do it?]

"No way. And these two aren’t even in the same cell, so we can’t do anything together. Don’t get me into trouble."

The system sighed softly. [Who said they weren’t in the same cell? They’re just in different cells, one above the other, and they don’t know it. Host, why don’t you go?]

"Dream on."

Lin Yun snorted coldly and turned off the special channel. She wanted to see which tasks she had completed today.

[Daily Task: Obtain your own house seed. (Completed)]

Task Reward: 5 gold coins / 10 points (choose one)

[Daily Task: Successfully move into your own house. (Completed)]

Task Reward: 5 gold coins / 10 points (choose one)

[Daily Task: Decorate the new house. (Completed)]

Task Reward: 5 gold coins / 10 points (choose one)

Lin Yun suddenly choked. It did not seem right to refuse. She remembered that the task points cap was 1500. With only these points from daily tasks, when would she ever reach 1500? Moreover, sometimes she had to choose gold coins, which would reduce her task points even further.

[So, should I accept, host?] The system rubbed its hands together and asked tentatively in a low voice.

Lin Yun said, "...Go on."

[Okay! Random mission accepted! Please complete it as soon as possible, host~]

Lin Yun: "..."
