Chapter 10: Find Out Their Limit, Easy Win

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once the large vegetable culture medium hit the shelves, it instantly set off a craze in the trading market.

It was literally a piece of land that could grow vegetables!

??

Every person in the country who spotted the item was ready for action as if the latent talent hidden in their DNA was activated.

However, Li Xiufeng, the seller of the item, was very stingy. He did not even put up an offer price. Instead, he just set it up as an auction, a function that few people would use.

[Seller: Li Xiufeng]

[Trade Item: Large Scale Vegetable Culture Medium]

[Required Item: Material goods]

[Remark: Food, water, valuable blueprints, weapons, defense items, anything of value can be offered. Item goes to the highest bidder]

[Remark: Cheapskates can forget about trying. I had to work really hard to get this from a silver treasure chest. It was the only thing that was inside the chest, so you can guess how much it’s worth.]

‘Silver treasure chest!

‘The highest bidder wins!’

At that moment, not only did the Regional Channel blow up, but even the World Channel quickly followed suit.

“All this comparison is pissing me off! Before this, the Almighty Su has his psychic energy water and now Brother Feng has a culture medium? When will it be my turn to be lucky? (Agonized emoji)”

“Silver treasure chest? Please tell me where you got the silver treasure chest from! I’ll exchange one unit of my precious wood for that information!”

“Silver treasure chest?! That’s awesome! I heard that you have to kill a particularly powerful monster to get one of those!”

“I’d like to book a large amount of vegetables in advance when the big boss plants them…”

Of course, quite a few people already had a better idea about how to go about it.

“This culture medium is bullsh*t and useless. Only idiots like you guys would try and buy it. People from the countryside would know how many days it takes to grow a crop of vegetables. Do you think this is a game? Did you think that you can reap your harvest after planting it for a day?”

“Seriously? Doesn’t anyone know that vegetables require water to grow? I urge you guys to think it over. Each one of you barely has enough water to drink and you think you can water your vegetables?”

“Exactly! There will be acid rain in a few days. Li Xiufeng, don’t bother about selling it. Just put it under the acid rain to water your d*mn vegetables!”

“Is the grape sour just because you can’t reach it? Hehe. I’ve already gotten many offers. Jealous much? Go on, pour all your insults on me.”

Wow!

With Li Xiufeng himself coming out to respond, the chat channel once again became very lively.

Su Mo, who had been watching the whole time, could not help but swear quietly.

If it was an ordinary person selling it, he probably could bag the culture medium with 500ml at most.

However, it seemed that Li Xiufeng had thought it out thoroughly. It was clear that his market value judgment was extremely accurate.

At the moment, there were many people with water shortages, but there was no shortage of people who had savings besides drinking water.

These people were under the assumption that the drinking water problem was sure to be solved eventually as the number of disasters increased.

Buying the vegetable culture medium now was equal to buying a stock at its lowest value at that moment. Anyone who invested in advance would have a greater return in the future.

On the other side below the auction panel, it was clear to see from the competition in the bidding.

Tarkov, “800ml of water, 2kg of bread, a pack of yogurt, one unit of copper, one unit of screws, one unit of steel bars, three units of wood, and a unit of garbage.”

Hashimoto Is Not A Loser, “300ml of water, 200g of raw fish, 4 units of navel oranges, one unit of grapes, and... a pair of used stockings.”

Wiseman, “2kg of crude oil, 1kg of gasoline, a remote control toy car, four AAA batteries, 500ml of water.”

...

In just a few minutes, there were all sorts of offers underneath. According to the game system’s judgment, a base valuation of the value of the auctioneer’s items was calculated.

These bidders usually did not go on the chat channel. It was not until now that they came swarming out because of the culture medium.

At that moment, countless ordinary people just found out how many fierce and competitive people there were.

There was no shortage of the powerful people who offered mutant beast meat in exchange.

Even after observing for some time, Su Mo did not rush to put his bid.

He was trying to find out what was the maximum that the bidders would lay down.

When auctioning, one must never be in a rush. Often, the first to bid would reveal their limit, resulting in them not being able to continue bidding later on in the auction.

In terms of the value of the items, the only high-value item he had with him was the psychic energy water.

There would not be a significant effect in throwing in the other things like his pet egg and blueprint.

Not to mention, Su Mo’s psychic energy water could be produced without limit, so he would not miss it if he was to trade it off.

After hauling up the bucket from the bottom of the well and pouring out all the psychic energy water, Su Mo’s reserve was 700ml at that moment.

The offers in the market were still moving and the seller, Li Xiufeng, did not say anything either. He did not seem to be interested in those offers.

After thinking for a long time, Su Mo made his first bid—

400ml Psychic Energy Water!

Once he offered that, unsurprisingly, the psychic energy water alone immediately blew up the system’s evaluation range, surging to the top with authority.

The items in second place based on the value judgment rating were given 322 points according to Li Xiufeng’s stated criteria.

Su Mo’s psychic energy water, on the other hand, was immediately given 2122 points, which was frighteningly high.

“The Almighty Su is here! Is psychic energy water that horrifyingly good?”

“Is this water so much stronger than mine that if I drink it I’ll be able to fly?”

“I have to give it to him. Only the people who drank the psychic energy water would know what the effects are…”

Su Mo’s offer stirred up the comment section below the bidding panel. When they saw the person who previously traded some psychic energy water come forward to speak, Su Mo nodded his head and his face was expressionless.

Although psychic energy water could strengthen the body, based on his estimation, drinking two liters of it a day would not show as obvious an effect as exercising for half an hour.

Its true function should be healing…

Psychic energy water could cure minor diseases that were not very serious and it had the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs, which was the main reason it had such a high rating.

After Su Mo recalled Li Xiufeng saying in the chat how hard he had to work to get the treasure chest, Su Mo jotted down some mental notes.

‘My man Li Xiufeng is probably hurt!’

On the other hand, after Su Mo put up his offer, Li Xiufeng finally gave one of his rare responses.

Ace, “That won’t be enough, Almighty Su. Psychic energy water is good, but what you offered isn’t enough, is what I’m trying to say. Up the prize and I’ll trade with you.”

“Yoo-hoo, the lion has opened its mouth!”

Su Mo let out a cold laugh.

He initially intended to befriend Li Xiufeng since he seemed like a fierce man who could fight mutant beasts solely with his own strength, but the man acted like a scammer.

If he had suggested a price directly or chatted with him to sell, Su Mo would have offered a higher price.

Clearly, Li Xiufeng was waiting for the right price, so even if Su Mo offered a high price of 1L at that moment, Li Xiufeng might ask for more.

Su Mo, “Sorry, I can’t do any more. I’ve worked too hard to dig this out of the ground. I don’t have much. As for the remainder, I’d like to keep them as my reserve. As for the effects of?the psychic energy water, I think you’d know better than me.”

Ace, “Please, Almighty Su. Just bump it up a little. Increase it a little and I’ll sell it to you.”

At that moment, Li Xiufeng’s condition was just as Su Mo had guessed. He was in a small wooden house, leaning against the door inside.

On his leg, there was blood flowing out, seeping into the wooden floor panel.

When he saw Su Mo’s firm attitude, even Li Xiufeng—the man who dared to clash heads with the mutant beasts—was panicking at that moment!

In Doomsday, there were a few things that were the most important.

Besides food and water, the most important thing was medical treatment.

As human beings gained intellect, at the same time, they lost the shell to protect themselves.

The human body was so weak that even a small cut with an untreated bacterial infection could cause a person to die.

Therefore, Li Xiufeng would basically die from the numerous large and small wounds on his legs if he did not take any medicine.

Before that, he used a mirror to trade for a sip of psychic energy water. After he drank the water, several small wounds on his legs turned into scabs and left only his medium and large wounds still bleeding.

In a life or death situation, Li Xiufeng decided to hand over the biggest harvest from his wilderness exploration in exchange for more psychic energy water to save his life.

After thinking about it, Li Xiufeng decided to take the initiative to bow down.

Ace, “Almighty Su, it was wrong of me to do what I did, but I’m in urgent need of psychic energy water to save my life now. So can you give me a little more? I promise I’ll contact you first the next time I find something good.”

Ace, “500ml. Is 500ml okay? If it is, just say so and I’ll immediately take it off the auction and privately trade it to you.”

In a negotiation, the worst thing to do was let the other person know your limit.

Poor Li Xiufeng lost at the starting line. He would naturally get the shorter end of the stick in any future negotiations.

Su Mo did not reply for some time before he silently changed his offer to 500ml.

[Record]: You have lost Psychic Energy Water*500ml

[Record]: You have gained Large Scale Vegetable Culture Medium*1
