Happy Ascension Day! Bonus chapter for all of you~
The spectacular orange rain fell for several minutes. Liu Zhaoqing’s gauze could not bear the weight of the orange, fell to the ground, and countless oranges rolled around in the living room. The scene in front of them was more exciting than when he saw the knife rain and acid rain.
The happiest was of course Ke Shaobin, he had liked sweet and sour taste since he was a child. If he could eat oranges every day in the following days, let him stick to 14 days and also had no problem.
Yue Xingwen looked at the oranges rolling all over the ground and said helplessly, “Everyone, help me to put these oranges away.”
Liu Zhaoqing said with a headache, “How to pack so many oranges?”
Lan Yarong’s mind flashed and said, “We can use the vine to weave some wooden frames and put the oranges in it.”
Lin Manluo stepped forward and said, “This method is good, let me try it.”
She raised her right hand, and immediately a vina burst out from her fingertips like a spirit snake, more than ten meters long vines hovered and entangled in place, quickly forming a ‘wooden frame’ shape.
Lin Manluo made several wooden frames in a row and placed them next to her. Yue Xingwen said, “Okay, everyone pick up the fresh and complete oranges and put them in the wooden frames. If the oranges broke after falling down just now, just eat them.”
The oranges were fresh, but some would inevitably break during the fall. It was not convenient to take out and sell the broken ones, but they could eat it themselves.
While picking up oranges, everyone picked out the broken ones and ate them. Everyone ate them with relish.
Soon, Ke Shaobin found a pattern and said, “These oranges, they look exactly the same ah?”
Yue Xingwen picked up a few oranges and compared them. Then, he said, “The skills thrown into the Torrential Rain will be copied and amplified. All the oranges are replicas of the first one, and it’s normal for them to look the same.”
Ke Shaobin had a sudden thought and said, “Can your Torrential Rain replicate food? We bought compressed biscuits at the supermarket yesterday and it will be nice if we throw the biscuits into the rain and there will be another biscuit rain.”
If Xingwen’s Torrential Rain could replicate food, when they threw a pack of biscuits into it, they could get thousands of biscuits. The cooldown of the Torrential Rain was 1 hour, after constantly replicating, not to mention living for 14 days, it was even possible to live for 14 years.
To Ke Shaobin’s eager eyes, Yue Xingwen smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “You think too much! Torrential Rain can copy library skills, not other items, otherwise, if I throw you in, won’t it rain to produce a lot of Ke Shaobin? Thousands of Ke Shaobin fall from the sky?”
Ke Shaobin imagined that picture, and a layer of goosebumps couldn’t help but rise on his spine. He coughed and said, “I was just bored to think about it.” He paused, his eyes looked at Xiao Tu standing obediently in the corner, and his eyes lit up. “Copy skill, right?”

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and said, “Oh, I was just curious to ask. Don’t worry, it’s enough for this master to have you.”
Upon hearing this, Yue Xingwen couldn’t help but say, “Xiao Tu’s intelligence is getting more and more advanced? Can Xiao Tu talk to you on a daily basis?”
Ke Shaobin said, “Yeah, I haven’t upgraded it recently, but I found that every time we clear a floor of the Faculty, Xiao Tu’s intelligence will increase, and his height will grow by about 2 centimeters. Its skills are still the same, but now it can say good morning and good night to me every day, and it can talk to me. I feel like it has become a spirit.”
Xiao Tu said, “Master, I haven’t become a spirit, I just become smarter.”
Teammates: “…”
The robot raised by Ke Shaobin was also strange.
In a blink of an eye, everyone packed up the oranges.
The temperature in the basement was low, and these oranges would not be bad if left for a few days. Qin Lu directly used her Plate Movement, and replaced all the oranges in the underground warehouse newly dug by Zhang Xiaonian.
Zhang Xiaonian, who had just packed up the excavator, was stunned. “Senior sister, why are there so many… oranges?”
Qin Lu smiled and said, “Xingwen just had an orange rain, do you want to eat a few?”
Zhang Xiaonian received a few oranges with a confused look, and when he returned to the room, everyone had already cleaned up the living room that was covered with water, and Yue Xingwen said, “Eat first, and then discuss whether we want to go out to make money next after we eat.”
Breakfast was simple, a few oranges per person, a packet of biscuits, and a bottle of distilled water. Although it was not sumptuous, compared to the residents of this world, what they ate was simply a festive meal.
After eating, everyone sat down on the wooden pier and began to discuss.
Jiang Pingce said, “Selling water is relatively risky. Water is a regulated resource in this world, and we can’t explain where so much water comes from. Moreover, the residents here are very wary, and they don’t necessarily believe that the water is safe and harmless.”
Xin Yan said, “We don’t have buckets as containers. If we sell them with water in a distillation flask, firstly, these glass bottles are not easy to carry, and secondly, it’s difficult to explain where these strange large distillation flasks come from.”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “En. If we really want to sell water, we’ll have to get some empty buckets from the residents here, use the bucket they usually use to fill the water, and then sell it, they won’t be so wary.”
Ke Shaobin suggested, “Then how about we go and sell oranges first? Oranges are fruits, unregulated, and fruits in this world are sold at a very high price, 200 for an apple. We will pretend to be fruit farmers and go to the gate of the community to sell fruit. Even if we are discovered by the city government, we will have time to run immediately.”
Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, looked at Ke Shaobin and said, “Do you remember what fruits were in the supermarket yesterday?”
Ke Shaobin immediately said, “Grapes, apples, watermelons, pears, bananas.” He could never forget what he ate, but after speaking, he noticed something was wrong. “No oranges?!”
“Yes, I also remember there were no oranges for sale in the supermarket.” Yue Xingwen guessed, “In this world, it’s likely that the fruit such as oranges has not been cultivated at all, and the residents here don’t know it, and naturally they can’t sell it at a high price. And everyone has not eaten oranges, doesn’t know the taste of this fruit, and doesn’t dare to rush to spend money to try.”
If there were people on the street pushing a car to sell a fruit that they had never seen in the real world, maybe many people would buy it out of curiosity and go home to try.
But the residents of this world could only barely solve the problem of food and clothing, and they had grown up accustomed to monotonous recipes. They should not have so much spare money to buy fruits they didn’t know, unless… The pricing was low enough for someone to want to try.
Yue Xingwen said, “If the pricing of oranges is like selling fruits in supermarkets, one sells for dozens or hundreds, I estimate that no one will buy it even if we set up a stall for a whole day. If it’s similar to the bread and biscuits they eat every day, some people may be willing to buy it and try it.”
Things that had never been seen, if sold at high price, it was sure that no one would want to pay for them. Everyone pondered carefully, and they all felt that Xingwen’s ‘low-price strategy’ was more reliable. If the price was cheap, it would not be a loss to buy a new one to taste.
Qin Lu said, “I just use my Plate Movement to teleport a few large frames of oranges to the warehouse. If it is roughly estimated, this batch of oranges rain preserved more than a thousand right? It’s not cost effective if we sell it by the catty, and it’s also weighing. How about we sell it one by one?”
Ke Shaobin nodded and said, “It makes sense. If an orange is sold for 1 yuan, a thousand would be sold for a thousand. Anyway, Xingwen can make 9 oranges per course, and there is no limit to the Torrential Rain, which means we can still have eight orange rains?”
The premise of Torrential Rain copy was ‘skill’, and what is copied could not be copied again, so it could not be an infinite cycle. So, theoretically, they had 8 more chances to replicate the orange.
Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and asked the other party’s opinion, “1 yuan for 1, do you think this price is appropriate?”
If it was the real world, 1 yuan an orange was actually expensive, and in reality it is all sold by the catty. However, the fruits in this world were rare items, an apple was sold for 200, and one grape for 50! Orange was only sold for 1 yuan, which was already a jump price sale, which was too conscientious.
Jiang Pingce said, “Yes, small profits and more sales. Selling a few more batches and earning thousands of yuan is enough for us to live 14 days in this world without worry.”
The price of this world, a packet of compressed biscuits was 3,5 yuan. AFter eating compressed biscuits in the morning, everyone found that the biscuits were not the same as what they usually ate. Yue Xingwen was full after only eating half a pack, it should be processed by technology and compressed into a lot of energy.
An ordinary family of three, with each person eating 2 packs of biscuits a day, their cost of living for a day was 21 yuan. Drinking water was controlled by the government and distributed according to the family, 10 liters a week and did not cost money and they needed to spend money to buy extra water.
People’s consumption level and desire to consume were very low. Most people had ‘just enough to eat’ thinking, not picky about food, and had not experienced any ‘food’. As for the quality of life? People in this world grew up in a harsh environment, it was already very difficult to live, and improving the quality of life was a luxury that they dared not think about.
However, buying a fresh fruit for 1 yuan to go back and taste it was still affordable for everyone.
Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and made a decision. “Let’s do this. We will be divided into new groups of action today. Six people will go to sell oranges in the morning, and the rest of the people stay behind. First, earn some pocket money; In the afternoon, 6 other people go to buy water buckets while the other 6 people rest. Anyone who wants to sell oranges can sign up.”
Qin Lu raised her hand and said, “I’ll go, I’ll use my skill to help everyone move the oranges, so it doesn’t take much effort.”
Ke Shaobin said energetically, “I’ll go too. Xiao Tu can navigate and remember the route.”
Zhuo Feng and Liu Zhaoqing looked at each other and raised their hands at the same time. Zhuo Feng said, “I’ll go with senior brother Liu, if we encounter danger, at least, I still have attack skills such as electricity and gravity, so I can protect everyone when retreating.”
Liu Zhaoqing said, “If you want to clear a dungeon, a healer is a must you know.”
Lin Manluo glanced at Jiang Pingce with a smile and said, “If Xingwen goes, Pingce will definitely go too, right?”
Jiang Pingce nodded calmly and said, “En.”
Lin Manluo said, “So, Xingwen, Pingce, Lulu, Xiao Ke, Zhuo Feng and senior brother Liu. 6 people will go out first in the morning, and the remaining 6 of us will change shifts in the afternoon?”
The teammates said there was no problem.
Jiang Pingce turned around to find the mask used yesterday and handed it to Yue Xingwen. “Put it on, you’ll have to be blown by sand again when you go out.”
Yue Xingwen took the mask and put it on, pointing to Jiang Pingce’s neat hair. “What about the hair, don’t care?”
Liu Zhaoqing said, “We didn’t buy a headscarf and protective clothing yesterday. Should we first wrap our hair with gauze?”
Everyone: “……”
Then they would become hospital fugitive patients, right?
One by one, with gauze wrapped around their heads, as if someone broke their head. Everyone would definitely hide and walk away after seeing them. Would anyone dare to buy something from them?
Yue Xingwen coughed lightly, touched his nose and said, “Senior brother, although our Research Group 183 has always been not normal, but it’s not too much to sell an orang, making it look like a mob gathering to fight…”
If they wrapped their heads with gauze than I want return gauzed bus!
