Chapter 13 The Joy of Soda

Chenyue had spotted a trade in the corner: [(330ml Coke x1) Trade (Food 500g)].

It seemed like a bad deal, no one would use so much food to exchange for Coke that wasn’t worth the same value, so this trade had been hanging there for a whole day.

Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Chenyue, the little rich girl, of course, the little rich girl had no freedom of choice, her elder sister was watching over her.

Seeing Chenyue’s longing eyes, Lu Chenxi still chose to complete the trade with 500g of fish meat.

Back on Blue Star, Chenyue loved to drink Coke, but Lu Chenxi was afraid that she would have abdominal discomfort and cavities if she drank too much, so she never let her drink it, at most she could have a sip or two.

But the more she was forbidden from drinking it, the more she wanted to drink it, and she had a few arguments with her about Coke.

But today, considering that Chenyue was frightened, Lu Chenxi decided to indulge her this time, she wanted to make her happy, of course, she wouldn’t admit that she wanted to drink it too, hmph, who doesn’t love soda?

After getting the Coke, the two sisters drank it all up, one sip at a time, and Chenyue even burped after finishing it.

“Sister, Coke is so good, can we drink it again next time?” Chenyue was just getting addicted after finishing the Coke.

“Well, it depends on your performance, and it also depends on the situation, if there isn’t any in the trading center, we won’t be able to drink it either,” Lu Chenxi said matter-of-factly, but she obviously forgot about Chenyue’s luck.

Later, when Chenyue opened several boxes of Coke from treasure chests, Lu Chenxi felt both happy and troubled.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Chenxi didn’t continue to browse the trading center, instead, she opened the chat interface to see how the players were doing today.

[Chat Channel]

[Has anyone noticed that some players’ avatars have turned gray, and private messages can’t be sent either?]

[I noticed, a guy who used to post in the chat channel a lot hasn’t said a word today]

[Were you guys not attacked by monsters? Today I was chopping wood when I was attacked by a beast that looked like a sheep, luckily my axe was a level 1 weapon, I managed to kill it]

[Me too, me too, I was fishing by the river, suddenly a crocodile rushed out, I was scared, I threw a grenade, the crocodile was blown to pieces, pity my grenade, I only had one]

[So scary, I’m scared to go out of the house, can someone help me, woooo]

[The person upstairs is a girl, right? Who isn’t afraid, you could die if you’re not careful, but if you don’t go out, you’ll starve to death, I’d rather be a gluttonous ghost]

[Everyone, we need to unite, those who have supplies should contribute, so that everyone can survive]

[Speechless, you should contribute your supplies first]

…..

Lu Chenxi looked at these chat messages and found that most people had been attacked today, those with weapons and defensive treasures escaped, while those who had nothing were either injured or, in severe cases, had died.

Lu Chenxi felt sympathy, but there was nothing she could do, she could only take care of herself and her sister.

Seeing the chat channel slowly turn into a shouting match, with some players wanting to get something for nothing, and wanting to stand on the moral high ground to gain benefits for themselves, Lu Chenxi could only sigh helplessly.

This is no longer a peaceful era, moral kidnapping is no longer effective.

“Sister, I’m sleepy, let’s go to sleep,” Chenyue rubbed her eyes, looking like she was really tired.

Lu Chenxi realized then that it was already past 10 o’clock, long past Chenyue’s usual bedtime.

That night, whether it was because her emotions had stabilized or because she was too happy to have drunk the Coke she had been longing for, Chenyue slept soundly, and Lu Chenxi was not woken up by any strange noises again.

The two sisters slept soundly all night…

Because she slept so well, Lu Chenxi woke up early the next morning, she brushed her teeth and washed her face first, then cooked some rice porridge before waking Chenyue up for breakfast.

After breakfast, the two of them opened the system panel to do their daily sign-in.

[Daily Sign-in]

[Ding, congratulations to player Lu Chenxi for receiving the sign-in reward, Cigarettes x10, Milk x10]

[Ding, congratulations to player Lu Chenyue for receiving the sign-in reward, Copper x2, Grenade x2, Banana x10]

Chenyue had another lucky day, copper was a material needed to upgrade the house, and it was probably the most difficult material to collect among the several materials.

The grenade was a one-time weapon, if they encountered an emergency situation like yesterday, it would come in handy:

[

Item Name: One-time Grenade

Attack Range: 10 meters

Function: Great damage to unknown creatures below level 2, weak damage to unknown creatures at level 2 and above.

]

The bananas and milk were just right for breakfast, Lu Chenxi told Chenyue to put them in the space, she could also eat them as snacks when she was hungry.

As for the cigarettes, Lu Chenxi thought they were useless, 10 packs of cigarettes looked like a lot, she didn’t smoke herself, and she didn’t think anyone would be willing to trade valuable supplies for them.

Although she thought so, she might as well try her luck at the trading center, what if there was a rich tycoon willing to trade with her like she did for Coke yesterday?

Thinking about the supplies she was still missing, Lu Chenxi decided to list three packs of cigarettes first, trading them for Sand x10, Stone x10, and Iron x1 respectively.

Contrary to Lu Chenxi’s expectations, the three packs of cigarettes were snapped up in less than a minute.

Of course, Lu Chenxi was very satisfied with the result, now she only needed [Stone x10, Iron x5] to upgrade the house.

Suddenly, Lu Chenxi saw someone sending her a bunch of private messages:

[Are you there?]

[I’m the player who just traded cigarettes with you, my name is Liu Chang]

[Do you have any more of those cigarettes?]

[I guess you must have more than three packs]

[Hehe, these cigarettes are really good, I haven’t touched a cigarette in days, I’m dying]

[Do you want to continue trading, I have three iron bars here?]

Lu Chenxi looked at this person’s barrage of messages, she didn’t want to reply at first, but then she saw that he had iron bars, so she replied.

[Okay, still one pack of cigarettes for one iron bar?]

The other side replied instantly: [You know that iron bars are important materials for upgrading houses, one pack of cigarettes for one iron bar, I’m definitely losing out, so I won’t be greedy, three iron bars for five packs of cigarettes, how about that?]

Lu Chenxi frowned and thought for a few seconds, thinking that she didn’t smoke anyway, so it was useless, and she also felt deep down that iron bars were worth far more than cigarettes, so she agreed to the trade: [Okay!]

The trade was thus concluded, and Liu Chang on the other side didn’t stop there, he continued to bombard her with messages:

[Brother, you’re so cool]

[By the way, I haven’t asked you if you’re a boy or a girl yet]

[But it doesn’t matter, it’s the same whether you’re a boy or a girl]

[Next time you have something good, remember to contact me]

……

Lu Chenxi thought this guy was a real chatterbox, she closed the system panel and ignored him.
