Although collectively wrapping a circle of gauze on their heads could also block the wind and sand, the image of selling orange wrapped in gauze was too weird. Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile, “Xingwen has a point, after all, we are there to do business. By wrapping our heads with gauze, it would scare away all the customers.”
He paused and scratched his head. “However, if we set up a stall outside for one morning without protection on our hair and body. It’s estimated that our clothes will be ruined ah!”
Jiang Pingce said, “It’s okay, as long as we can earn money, we can buy new clothes to wear.”
Liu Zhaoqing slapped his head and said, “That’s right! As long as we have money, we can buy it! Anyway, we can still take a shower when we get back. If our hair is dirty, just endure it for a while.”
Ke Shaobin raised a question, “The money we earn should not be brought out of the examination room. After all, we can only spend points in the library, so paper money is useless. At that time in the Faculty of Law, each person was issued 300 yan pocket money in their mobile phones, and what we didn’t spend couldn’t be taken out. But this world is different, the money is not sent to us directly, but we exchange it with points. So in turn, can we trade the money we earn back for points?”
Xiao Ke usually played a lot of games, and his thinking was really flexible. Yue Xingwen thought for a while and said, “If the currency can be exchanged for points, maybe before we leave this examination room, we can still earn back the points we spent before.”
Jiang Pingce said, “The ratio of points to currency is 20:1, and 1,000 points can only be exchanged for 50 yuan. All our oranges can be sold for 1,000 yuan, if we exchange points according to the reverse ratio of 1:20, won’t we be able to exchange them for 20,000 points?”
Ke Shaobin’s eyes lit up and said, “20,000 points is awesome right! If we clear the course, we earn five or six hundred.”
Yue Xingwen pondered for a moment and said, “The library should not be so good to us. As long as there is a Chemistry Department student in the team, they can make water and sell it for money. It should not be difficult to earn thousands of yan before clearing the course, and it can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands points. After this course, won’t all the teams exceeding the standard in points?”
Ke Shaobin nodded in agreement and said, “It makes sense. The library will definitely not be so kind, so the ratio of reverse exchange should not be 1:20.”
Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, “Just ask and see.”
He opened the Research Group’s chat channel and entered ‘reverse exchange of points’, then a message popped up in the hover box, which said: “The ratio of currency to point exchange for Faculty of Environment’s course is—— 200:1.”
Everyone: “……”
Liu Zhaoqing couldn’t help but scold. “Fuck. I know that the library doesn’t have good intentions at all! Points to change for money is 20:1, and in turn it actually takes 200:1 to exchange money for points. Is this blatantly grabbing money?”
Lin Manluo helplessly said, “After all, it’s a dungeon of the Faculty of Environment, not a Business Department. It’s impossible to make us rich overnight.”
Yue Xingwen rubbed his temples and said, “Forget it. Let’s first earn enough money to survive in this world for 14 days. If there is a surplus in the end, we’ll exchange it for points, as much as we can.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Since the reverse exchange ratio was so pitiful, next time, their points could be spent easily. If they wanted to spend money, they needed to earn ready-made products directly from this world.

Yue Xingwen said, “At 9 am, young people have to go to work, and the old people should not be interested in going out to be blown by the sand. Let’s not bring oranges first, just scout out which communities have more people, and then sell oranges at noon.”
To do business, they had to do market research, and if they took so many oranges out rashly. First, it was not convenient to carry, and second, few people would buy them at 9 am in the morning. At lunchtime, there would be a lunch break at work, students would go home to eat, and it would be more efficient to set up a stall at that time.
Everyone nodded and agreed with Xingwen’s suggestion.
Yue Xingwen continued. “Qin Lu stays on guard first, your skills are used to move oranges. Others can rely on my team’s accelerated skill to investigate in the urban area, and then notify Qin Lu to transport goods after selecting the address.”
Xu Yishen raised his hand and said, “I’ll go too if you want to investigate. My mitosis will run errands faster, and by the way, I’ll also check to see which places can receive buckets to facilitate the action of the group in the afternoon.”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “Okay, senior brother Xu will also go along.”
A group of six people walked out of the underground base. Yue Xingwen opened the dictionary, using the team’s acceleration skill ‘Fast as Lightning’, making everyone’s feet like stepping on a pulley, by increasing the speed 5x, and soon ran to the city.
Everyone saw a residential community nearby. The community had dozens of buildings, but all the buildings were uniform 6 stories high. Yue Xingwen looked up at the sky full of sand and said, “Maybe it’s because of the serious air pollution and the air quality will be worse if the houses of residential buildings are built too high?”
Zhuo Feng said, “The sand generally floats at the height of about 10 floors. There is so much sand and dust in the sky in this world. It’s estimated that they can’t breathe in the section of the 10th floor to the 20th floor.”
Jiang Pingce said, “Judging from the distribution of buildings, there should be about 500 households in this community, but it’s not necessary for every household to pass by the gate at noon. We may not be able to sell all the oranges.”
Zhuo Feng suggested, “Find a few more communities to choose from, and sell them in batches if they can’t be sold out.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Okay, go look around again. Everyone needs to pay attention to safety.”
Everyone split up into teams, found several large communities with more buildings nearby, determined the location and Yue Xingwen asked that the distance between everyone should not exceed one kilometer. So, even if something happened, they could pick up their teammates at any time.
Time passed. Because they did not wear headscarves and protective clothes, their clothes were covered in sand, and their hair was full of yellow sand. One by one, they looked like they had rolled in the dirt several times, and they looked wretched.
Fortunately, they wore a mask when going out today.
The mask could stop most of the sand, but the strange smell in the air still came to the surface. Yue Xingwen began to cough after walking for a while, Jiang Pingce also coughed from time to time. Their trachea simply could not adapt to such bad air.
Yue Xingwen said with a bitter face, “Ai, you can’t be too greedy, just earn about the same amount of money. In this way, if I come out to set up a stall every day, I’m afraid that if we can’t hold out for a few days, we will collectively get bronchitis and pneumonia.”
Jiang Pingce gave him a gesture of ‘less talking’. Every time he spoke, he felt like smoke was coming out of his throat. The ambient humidity in this world was estimated to be less than 20%, the air was so dry that people’s noses itch.
Jiang Pingce opened the chat channel and said: “If everyone has questions, just type here to communicate. It’s easy to suck dust when speaking, and make our throat uncomfortable.”
It was hard for them to stay until about 11:00 am. Yue Xingwen sent a message on the chat channel: “Everyone, get ready. Qin Lu starts to ship goods, pay attention to the speed.”
Jiang Pingce wrote a route: “Go out and turn right, walk 1 km in a straight line, turn left, 1 km, and then turn right for 800 meters.”
With Qin Lu’s Plate Movement, it only took 2 seconds at a time, and then a person with so many baskets of oranges flashed past in an instant that people in this world would definitely think that they were hallucinating.
Within half a minute, Qin Lu appeared at the coordinates specified by Jiang Pingce with six large baskets of oranges. Xu Yishen returned to the base with the map drawn by Jiang Pingce and Ke Shaobin, preparing to collect the buckets in the afternoon.
On the side of the community, in a corner where no one was, six people gathered together and began to assign tasks. Yue Xingwen’s throat was uncomfortable when he spoke, so he simply typed in the chat channel: “How many oranges are there in total?”
Qin Lu also typed: “We have counted. There are 180 oranges per basket, a total of 1080.”
Yue Xingwen: “Since the residents here have never seen oranges and don’t know the taste of this fruit, they can peel a few for them to taste. Each person is only allowed to try one or two petals, don’t give the whole thing.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhuo Feng suddenly typed and asked, “How are we going to shout? The wind and sand is too strong, and my throat will itch after saying a few words. If I shout ‘sell fruit, 1 yuan’, I estimate that after shouting for a few minutes, everyone’s throat will be ruined.”
Ke Shaobin had a bright idea and said, “I can let Xiao Tu to shout. The robot is not afraid of wind and sand.”
Yue Xingwen looked back at him, typed and asked: “Can Xiao Tu play the specified voice?”
Ke Shaobin immediately replied: “Of course, it’s smart now. Not only can it talk to me every day, but it can also be used as a tape recorder and repeat what I told it. I’ll say a paragraph in advance and let it read, just like those brainwashing speakers that keep playing in malls. The effect must be great!”
Thinking of the ‘Last Three Days’ and ‘Big Sale’ speakers every time they passed by the supermarket, Yue Xingwen could not help but get a headache. It was better to let Xiao Tu shout than for everyone to shout themselves to death.
Ke Shaobin continued: “We can use the mobile combat method. First shouting at the door of this community, after it’s enough, then we go to the next community. Anyway, the lunch break is quite long. We will just test the water today, and see how much we can sell it.”
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
There was Xiao Tu as a ‘speaker’, which would definitely attract many people, but Yue Xingwen considered that the existence of Xiao Tu was too eye-catching, so he said: “Can you hide Xiao Tu? It’s hard to explain when Xiao Tu is seen.”
Ke Shaobin said: “Yes, I let Xiao Tu reduce to a miniature version to hide in my pocket to speak, pretending that we brought a mini stereo. Otherwise, the robot more than one meter tall standing there is indeed too abrupt.”
Zhuo Feng said with a smile: “Very good, we are a fruit selling team with our own speaker.”
Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and said: “Next, let’s think of the lines, what should it shout to make our selling better?”
Thinking of lines like this, of course, should be left to Yue Xingwen. He lowered his head and thought of a phrase for Ke Shaobin to teach Xiao Tu.
At 12 o’clock noon, at the entrance of the community.
Many young people came home from work for lunch breaks, and there were also children with school bags coming back from school to eat.
There were people coming and going at the entrance of the community, and everyone soon saw that someone not far away had built a simple tent with gauze. There were several baskets of strange-looking orange balls in the tent, and 6 people were standing there. Their hair was messy like weeds, and their faces and bodies were full of sand, as if they had just been dug out of the mound of…
A recorded mechanical voice shouted very loudly: “Selling fruits, selling fruits! Fresh fruit for one yuan! It’s not a loss to buy it, you are not being fooled if you buy it! If you are not sure, you can still taste it.”
“Selling fruits, selling fruits! Fresh fruit for one yuan! It’s not a loss to buy it, you are not being fooled if you buy it…”
Xiao Tu’s clear mechanical voice that kept repeating was like a brainwashed magic sound.
Residents: “????”

Isnt the gauze can also purify or remove stains when used? The why worry about clothes being dirtied when you can use the gauze to clean them?
