Chapter 58: The Value Of Food

When they saw the piece of paper appear out of thin air, everyone was stunned. Because they thought she had the ability of the water element, when they found out that she had the ability of the space system instead, there was an uproar.

After a while, someone asked, "Does she have dual abilities?"

As soon as he said this, everyone fell into silence. If this young woman really has dual abilities, then she is not someone they can offend. For fear of offending Zhu Lin, everyone stopped talking and just looked at her in awe and curiosity.

Zhu Lin held the talisman with her index and middle fingers, and said in a low voice: "Flow."

As soon as she finished speaking, the talisman was engulfed in blue flames, and a small blue formation appeared in front of the talisman, which alarmed everyone. Before they could react, water gushed out from the small blue formation, filling the jade basin.

Not long after, the jade basin was filled with clear water, and the talismans were burned to ashes. Witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked once more.

Meng Zhelan and her friend also saw what just happened from a distance. She stared at Zhu Lin with wide eyes, and asked her friend: "Di... did she use paper to summon water just now?!"

Her friend rubbed her eyes and said in disbelief: ".... I must be dreaming right now."

Seeing that the jade basin was already full of water, Zhu Lin raised her head and said to the old man, "In a day, one person can only buy three liters of water from me."

Hearing her clear voice, everyone came back to their senses. After seeing what happened just now, the way they looked at Zhu Lin changed.

Before, they only thought she was a very beautiful young woman with water element ability. But now, thinking that she possessed dual abilities, they try their best not to offend her. With this mindset, no one dares to cause trouble because of the rule she made anymore.

Four hours later, the last customer left with three bottles of water. Seeing that there were no more customers, Zhu Lin put the empty jade basin and the cloth into her ice flower pendant.

She hugged her rabbit and said, [I thought it would be hard to sell two thousand liters of water. But tonight we actually managed to sell over three thousand liters of water.]

Tu Tu nodded, and excitedly said, [Um! Master, in just a few hours, we managed to collect a lot of crystal nucleus!]

While the two of them were chatting, Zhu Lin walked leisurely in the market. After looking at several stalls, she found that none of them sold food or water. Getting curious, she walked up to a stall owned by a young woman.

Seeing her coming, the young woman looked at her with a smile and asked, "Welcome, beautiful sister. What do you want to buy? I have a lot of good items here, but I only accept food or water as payment."

Zhu Lin looked at the items placed on top of the dirty cloth and said, "Do you accept crystal nucleus as payment?"

The young woman shook her head and said, "I’m sorry, beautiful sister. I only accept food or water for now."

Hearing what she said, Zhu Lin looked at her and asked, "Why? I thought you could buy food and water from the trading hall with crystal nucleus. Isn’t it more convenient to accept crystal nucleus?"

The young woman sighed and said, "It’s useless to go to the trading hall. The price of food and water has tripled, and purchases are limited in the trading hall. Moreover, a person can only buy one bottle of mineral water and two breads a day. For supernatural beings, this amount of food and water is far from enough."

After listening to her explanation, Zhu Lin thought for a while and asked again: "Doesn’t the base have emergency food reserves? Now that the situation is getting worse, why don’t they take it out?"

The young woman shook her head and said, "I don’t know. Actually, we can still go to the trading hall to buy food and water. It’s just that only contribution points can be used to buy things there. With the current situation, only a strong team dares to go out to carry out the mission. As for the rest, we can only take out what we have to exchange for food or water."

She paused, looked at the items on the cloth and said, "Unfortunately, everyone’s the same, and no one is willing to exchange food and water for other things now."

While the young woman was still lamenting the current situation, Tu Tu said, [Master, since you can sell water, why don’t we also sell food? In this way, we can collect more crystal nucleus faster.]

Hearing what Tu Tu said, Zhu Lin thought for a while and said, [I think you are right. Let’s try to exchange some food with this young lady first, and see how much the value of the food is.]

After speaking, Zhu Lin glanced at the items, then pointed to a small fruit knife and asked, "How much is this knife?"

The young woman looked at the fruit knife, thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Uh... a pack of biscuits."

Zhu Lin didn’t have any biscuits, so she said, "I don’t have any biscuits. Can I trade it with something else?"

Hearing what she said, the young woman’s eyes lit up, and she said, "Let me see what kind of food it is first."

After renting the apartment, Zhu Lin spent hours growing sweet potatoes. Inside the Qiankun bag, there is a small hill of sweet potatoes. Thinking about those sweet potatoes, she picked a smaller sweet potato, took it out of the Qiankun bag, and asked, "How about this one?"

The young woman wasn’t surprised to see that she had the ability of the space system. Although the ability of the space system is quite rare, she also knows one or two people with this kind of ability. But when her eyes fell on the sweet potato in Zhu Lin’s palm, she was very surprised that she couldn’t speak.
