Chapter 247: 247、Stinky Tofu Incident (Part 4)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Huge amounts of distress points could be ama.s.sed when people were hungry.
“I only have three portions, do you want it or not?” Lu Shu urged.
“Yes! Make it slightly cheaper!” Li Zimo grinded his teeth. He was really too hungry!
“48.50!”
“Why still care about the 50 cents? 48!”
“Deal!”
Lu Shu put on a show and placed his hand in his bag to retrieve a portion of stinky tofu for Li Zimo. Li Zimo was stunned, “d.a.m.n, why is it so smelly?!”
“Just as you said,” Lu Shu said as he received the money from Li Zimo delightedly and stuffed it into Lu Xiaoyu’s bag, “How could it be called stinky tofu if it isn’t stinky?”
Lu Shu still had over 200 portions of stinky tofu in his storage. At the start, he was still worried that he couldn’t sell the tofu if his price was too high. But it now seemed like his worries were unnecessary.
Although his asking price was 50, with some bargaining, he could sell it at around 40 dollars.
Lu Shu lamented softly. Chinese people had good spending habits, it was alright even for poor families to spend quite a lot outside when they needed to even if they had to scrimp and save on a daily basis.
Within an hour, he sold all of his 200+ portions. Lu Shu was excited if this jam carries on for two days, wouldn’t he be rich from selling stinky tofu?
Just as he drew another 400 stinky tofu, he ama.s.sed another 8 chi fruits. At this point, Lu Xiaoyu sneaked over and pulled Lu Shu away by his sleeve. Lu Shu asked curiously, “What’s wrong? My business is booming.”
Lu Xiaoyu pa.s.sed Lu Shu her phone. On it was a thread within the golden foundation, and its t.i.tle was: jam on Qingzhou Huanhu road, who can tell me what exactly is going on in front?
Lu Shu hesitated for a moment. This t.i.tle looked quite normal, no one knew what was happening in front. Those who knew couldn’t tell others about what’s going on.
But he noticed something wrong when he saw the 14th comment, from someone called ‘lord Zimo’, “I’m stuck on Huanhu road as well. I b.u.mped into someone selling stinky tofu just now, and it was extremely exorbitant! One for 50 dollars and there were only three. I wouldn’t have bought it if I wasn’t so extremely hungry! It’s too unscrupulous!”
Lu Shu pondered. Wasn’t he… referring to him?!
He continued to scroll down and below this comment from ‘lord Zimo’ was another person’s: “Ahhh, we have a similar fate. I was scammed too! Three portions and two of them were bought by us. Isn’t this fate? This guy is really too unscrupulous, but the tofu is indeed quite tasty, better than I expected…”
Lu Shu took a deep breath, he had a bad feeling about this.
He continued to scroll down, and another person commented as well, “Haha, I’m the guy who bought the third portion. The three of us really are brothers who share the same fate!”
Immediately after that was another person’s reply, “Then which is… the one I bought…”
“I bought one too… ”
“I bargained till it’s 38.50. The 50 cents didn’t matter anymore… Wasn’t there only three portions…”
“The comment above must be a joke. I bought three portions alone… ”
Lord Zimo’s reply: “You guys wait, let me check…”
“From Li Zimo’s distress, +299!”
How could there be only three? The guy who complained about the 50 cents seemed like he wasn’t lying. It’s really evident!
Just by these few comments, there can’t be only three portions sold. There might even be 300! But of course, some replies were just to join in the commotion…
This… how many people did this guy cheat…
Lu Shu was scratching his head. The distress points were flowing into his records rapidly… although this was a good thing, he definitely couldn’t sell his stinky tofu anymore!
Another thread had started within the golden foundation: search for the mysterious guy selling stinky tofu on Huanhu road!
d.a.m.n this. Lu Shu immediately looked for a secluded corner and removed his cover. All these people were really troublesome. Couldn’t they just eat their tofu? Why bother discussing it online.
Hm? Lu Shu’s eyes lit up. He had always wanted to join in the commotion on the golden foundation, wasn’t this a good opportunity? Once more people noticed him in the forum, wouldn’t he gain even more distress points constantly?
Anyway, no one would be able to recognize him now. His account on the golden foundation was also registered with a new card and there was no reason to hesitate. He immediately replied to the thread: “I am the guy!”
Lu Shu trudged triumphantly while holding onto Lu Xiaoyu, thinking that he would definitely gain a ma.s.sive influx of distress points. He would become the next big thing online at any time!
But when he checked his phone, below his reply was a string of replies claiming that it’s them.
Lu Shu took a deep breath, he had really underestimated them…
They really wanted to impersonate him?! Couldn’t they let him become an online sensation smoothly? Was it really so difficult?
But at this moment, Lu Shu suddenly noticed a commotion behind him. He didn’t understand what was going on and stood silently with Lu Xiaoyu.
Many people alighted from their cars to see what was going on. Seeing this situation, Lu Shu held onto Lu Xiaoyu even closer to prevent them from being separated.
Within a few minutes, Lu Shu saw soldiers carrying water, biscuits, cup noodles, medical supplies and other similar items running along Huanhu road. They then distributed these supplies to everyone.
There were many soldiers, but because cars could not be driven in, they had to use their hands to bring all these supplies to everyone. It seemed like they had to run at least a few kilometers.
Although the temperature in Qingzhou was rather cooling, especially at night, these soldiers were soaked in sweat.
Many drivers thanked them profusely, but they returned to work upon completing their tasks.
One driver didn’t feel too well, even showing signs of being ill. Without any hesitation, a soldier carried him and ran off.
Lu Shu held onto Lu Xiaoyu’s hand, “Let’s go, there’s no need to sell stinky tofu anymore… hm, it can’t be sold anymore.”
“Lu Shu, why are they so pa.s.sionate about helping others?” Lu Xiaoyu asked in curiosity.
“Because of… their belief?” Lu Shu wasn’t too sure.
“Would you be like them in the future?” Lu Xiaoyu questioned.
“Probably not, I’m not that magnanimous…” Lu Shu shook his head. But after some silence, he added, “But I’ll help them fight or something along those lines.”
