Chapter 112: The Second Purchase

Noticing that a new section had appeared on the Multiverse Farmland Store’s main interface, Liu Yun raised her brows slightly.

"Mhm? Special Seed Section?"

Out of curiosity, she clicked on the icon. After accessing the Special Seed Section, Liu Yun saw a few icons there. However, besides the first one, the others were grayed out.

Staring at the icons, she muttered, "Looks like I can only access one sub-section for now."

Raising her hand, Liu Yun clicked on the first icon. A second later, a new screen appeared before her. Displayed on the transparent blue screen was only a peach tree seed icon.

Frowning slightly, Liu Yun clicked on it.

Liu Yun took two minutes to read the detailed introduction of the Spiritual Peach Tree Seed. When she saw the price, she paused.

"5,000 Multiverse Coins/seed?"

Liu Yun stared at the price for a moment, then her eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "Wait a minute! I remember I sold one giant carrot for only 10 Multiverse Coins before! Isn’t 5,000 Multiverse Coins/seed too expensive?!"

Coming back to her senses, Liu Yun quickly called for the System. "System, come out. I have something to ask you."

Being called by her, the System’s mechanical voice rang in her mind.

[Player, what can I help you with?]

Pointing at the price displayed on the transparent blue screen, Liu Yun asked, "System, don’t you think this price is too expensive for a single seed?"

The System looked at Liu Yun’s dissatisfied face, then replied, [Player, the price was decided based on the item’s rarity and its market value in its original world. This System has no authority to change the price at will.]

Pouting her lips, Liu Yun said, "Since you can’t change the price at will, then tell me. Can I sell the farm products for a higher price?"

[Yes. The Player has the authority to set the price freely for every product that you harvest.]

Liu Yun never expected the System to lower the price just because she asked the question or protested. She knew the System’s stingy personality too well to have this kind of thought.

From the first time she called out to the System, Liu Yun had only wanted to use this excuse to find out whether she could increase the price of her products at will.

Since she got the answer she wanted, Liu Yun smiled and said, "I see. Thank you for answering my questions."

[It’s my pleasure to help you, Player.]

Looking at the transparent blue screen, Liu Yun thought, ’I still have 90 free slots in my Spiritual Garden.’

’Instead of letting it waste away like this, I’d better earn some Multiverse Coins to buy more Spiritual Peach Tree Seeds. Besides, the tree can be harvested repeatedly, which can be counted as a long-term investment.’

With that in mind, Liu Yun closed the System Store and checked her warehouse. Seeing that she had 110 giant carrots there, Liu Yun decided to sell 80, keep 10 for her own consumption, and keep 20 to feed the Mutant Queen.

Having made her decision, Liu Yun closed the warehouse panel, then accessed the Buyback feature and opened her Li Ming Small Shop’s interface.

With familiarity, Liu Yun dragged the giant carrot from her warehouse and placed it on the empty wooden box displayed on her storefront. She input 80 as the amount, then paused when she was about to input the price.

"Mhm... How much should I sell this giant carrot for?"

Seeing her dilemma, the System said, [Player, this System has detected that the market value of your basic carrot has increased by at least 100 times. How about you sell the basic carrot based on its current market value?]

Hearing this, Liu Yun nodded in agreement. "Alright. Then... 1,000 for one carrot should be good."

Ding!

[Price for one Basic Carrot: 1,000]

[Confirm] [Cancel]

Liu Yun pressed [Confirm] without hesitation, then opened her store.

Ding!

[Do you wish to open the Li Ming Small Shop?]

[Confirm] [Cancel]

"Confirm."

After opening her store, Liu Yun closed the transparent blue screen, then left the Multiverse Farmland. When her consciousness returned to her body, Liu Yun yawned sleepily, then slowly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, far away in a distant universe, Bai Jing was leaning boredly against the couch inside his dormitory while scrolling through the Interstellar Market on his optical watch.

Just when he thought he was going to waste another day waiting for the Li Ming Small Shop to appear, he received a notification from the Interstellar Market’s reminder system.

Ding!

[Dear customer, the store you are following has added a new product. Please remember to check it out.]

The second Bai Jing saw the notification, his eyes widened as he jumped up from the couch.

"Finally! It’s finally appeared!" Bai Jing exclaimed excitedly as he clicked on the only name listed under his following list.

When he saw that the Li Ming Small Shop’s name was highlighted in white, he quickly clicked on it. The second he entered the store, Bai Jing saw that there was only one product displayed on the storefront—the giant carrot.

Without checking the price, Bai Jing’s fingers moved at lightning speed as he pressed the [Buy] button. Maximizing the quantity, he clicked the [Check Out] button, then quickly paid for the purchase.

Ding!

[Thank you for your patronage, Customer. Your purchase will be delivered right away.]

When Bai Jing received the notification, he sighed in relief, then slumped back onto the couch.

He stared at the high ceiling in silence. As the seconds passed, the corners of his lips slowly curved upward, then he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha! I’ve got it! Ha ha ha!"

While he was laughing out loud, the steward at the Bai Manor had just received a huge delivery.

After signing the delivery receipt, the steward looked at the huge metal box blocking the main entrance to the manor and sighed helplessly.

"The Second Young Master must have been scammed again."

Not knowing that the steward was pitying him, Bai Jing finally stopped laughing. After calming down, he sat up straight, then called his elder brother.

Bai Jing didn’t have to wait long before the call was connected.

Seeing his elder brother’s face appear on the virtual screen, Bai Jing grinned and said, "Elder Brother, I have good news for you!"
