Chapter 33: We’re Still Struggling to Make Ends Meet, You’re Already Eating Popsicles?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although it’s a good thing to have a bite of an ice-cold popsicle in this hot weather.
But considering that most Beast Masters are on the verge of starvation, popsicles are a luxury for them.
Eating popsicles could only increase their pleasure. Unfortunately, the true degree of thirst relief is not even comparable to a bowl of water!
Therefore, if the price were too high, it would not sell well.
If the price were too low, they would lose money again.
It seemed that before it was put on the shelves, it needed to be packaged to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Mcgee walked into the forest, looked around, and found a tree with relatively large leaves.
Then he motioned to the little fox to go up and pick two leaves.
The little Spirit Fox did not know what its master wanted to do.
But he still went up and picked them.
Mcgee patted the little Spirit Fox’s head and took the two leaves.
He picked up one of the leaves and folded it into a quadrilateral. Then he pressed it with one hand and folded the other leaf into a quadrilateral with the other hand, but it was an inverted quadrilateral.
Then he inserted the newly folded leaf into the previously folded leaf.
Then he picked it up and saw that the two leaves were firmly embedded together.
As long as there was no big movement, it would not collapse.
The little Spirit Fox looked at Mcgee’s operation and was stunned for a moment.
She thought it was a magical spell.
Mcgee stroked the little Spirit Fox’s head and explained patiently.
“This is not a magical spell, but an ancient eastern tenon technique. It’s just that the materials are not right, so it can only be fixed.”
The little Spirit Fox nodded, and then she listened to Mcgee’s words and plucked dozens of leaves from it. Then, Mcgee took them back and made them on the spot.
…
Half an hour later, Mcgee finished making them.
Then, he put the frozen watermelon-flavored popsicle into the folded leaves and then clicked on the shelf 30 times.
Watermelon-flavored Popsicle X 30.
Selling Price: Wood x 5, Stone x 5.
After the popsicles were on the shelf, Mcgee waited quietly.
He knew that it would be a little difficult initially, but once someone started it, the rest would be easily influenced!
“G.o.d, Mcgee has a new product on the shelf!”
“That’s great. I’m starving now. I hope it’s food.”
“I’m actually interested in his sweet potatoes. I hope I can get a few. Roasted sweet potatoes taste amazing!”
“Watermelon + 1. After killing the monsters, watermelon is the best reward. G.o.d, come! I’m ready!”
…
But when everyone saw the items on the shelves, they were stunned.
Soon, the live chat room became quiet, which was rare.
Mcgee was right.
Popsicles were indeed not bad, and watermelon-flavored popsicles were even better.
Therefore, when Mcgee was on the shelves, most people immediately became greedy.
In the last century, popsicles were the lowest form of frozen food.
They could not even be cla.s.sified as ice cream, and no one would eat them.
But now, it was different.
Popsicles, which no one had ever looked at before, were now the most delicious food in the world.
Especially the watermelon flavor.
So everyone looked at the popsicles hanging on the trading community and could not help but swallow their saliva.
After a while, someone finally could not help but start to be the first to buy it.
They saw that person buy a popsicle with some heartache.
Soon, the resources in his backpack disappeared, and the purchased item appeared in his hand.
Looking at the item in front of him, that person revealed a rare smile.
He could not help but open the camera that came with the system to picture the community.
It also said, “G.o.d, Mcgee is really clever. He actually made packaging for the popsicle. Give me a thumbs up!”
After posting it in the community, many people saw it.
While secretly praising the packaging, they could not help but despise the prodigal son.
After all, a tree only had 10 pieces of wood.
Without tools, it would be tough to break a tree.
Therefore, the price of five pieces of wood was a bit too high for them.
But even so, they could not help but continue to watch.
After all, on this hot summer day, they could not bear to buy popsicles. Instead, just a glance could satisfy their craving.
That person also knew what these people were thinking.
Of course, he also wanted to show off.
So, he opened the popsicle, took another photo, and uploaded it.
With a caption: “Thank you, G.o.d Mcgee, for the vibrant watermelon flavor. The taste is ice-cold. Just one bite, and my whole soul is sublimated!”
After the photo was posted, the appearance of the popsicle was revealed.
The red popsicle revealed a cold air that could be seen with the naked eye in the photo.
This cold air, which had originally made them uncomfortable, now made them yearn for it.
They really wanted to take it to their mouths and complain about it.
…
At this moment, Mcgee also paid attention to the information in the community.
Not long after seeing that person send out the popsicle, sure enough, as Mcgee expected, the antic.i.p.ated hot sale began.
[System Notification: You have sold watermelon-flavored popsicles × 1, obtained wood × 10, stone × 10.]
[System Notification: You have sold watermelon-flavored popsicles × 1, obtained wood × 10, stone × 10.]
[System Notification: You have sold watermelon-flavored popsicles × 1, obtained wood × 10, stone × 10.]
…
Looking at the rapidly increasing number of materials, Mcgee could not help but laugh.
He thought to himself. “As expected, luxury goods are still easy to sell.”
Watermelon-flavored popsicles do not cost much. Two watermelons and free mountain spring water were able to sell for this price in the end, which made Mcgee very satisfied.
Soon, the watermelon-flavored popsicles in the exchange hall were sold out.
When some people finally could not help but want to buy them, they opened the exchange hall and wanted to buy them, but the stock was shown to be zero.
Suddenly, their state of mind collapsed!
What was the scariest thing?
It was not the luxury goods you could see, but when the luxury goods aroused your desire to buy them, but when they were out of stock, the feeling of their state of mind exploding was enough to make people depressed for a long time.
This was the world-famous ‘hunger marketing’ from his previous life!
“F*ck, are you all bandits? More than 30 popsicles disappeared in a second?”
“My mind has collapsed. I’ve been building up my mind for a long time and was about to make a move, but it’s gone! F*ck!”
“G.o.d, save the children. Let’s put another batch on the shelves. The craving has already been aroused. If I’m not satisfied, I’m doomed to not be able to sleep tonight!”
…
The people who did not manage to buy the popsicles were all miserable in the chat room.
This made the people who had bought the popsicles feel some heartache, but now they were in a good mood. The popsicle in their hands tasted even sweeter.
Some people even could not help but show off in the chat room.
“Hey, what do you think this is? Yes, popsicle. Watermelon-flavored popsicle. Take a bite. It’s cold and cool. It’s so cool!”
“Yes, yes, yes. Look at my popsicle. The color is the best, and the taste is the best. After taking a bite, my soul couldn’t help but tremble, and my combat strength doubled.”
“Ahem, ahem, after eating big boss Mcgee’s popsicle, I just want to ask, where is the strongest beast in this world? I feel that I can tear it apart with my bare hands!”
