Chapter 203: Making Money out of the System

(A/N: Refresh the Chapter please.)

After Li Chunhua displayed a look as if she had eaten a spoiled meal, Siri was concerned. "What’s the matter?"

Li Chunhua placed down the can of happy fat water that didn’t taste good anymore to soothe her bleeding heart. "Because of the weapons, my debt increased by 3 gold coins."

"...3?" Siri stuttered. That’s three hundred thousand copper coins! In their Elven Kingdom, it’s enough to feed an ordinary family of four for 1 to 2 years. The Elf pinched the bridge of his nose from the bad news.

Li Chunhua nodded and went to chug another mouthful of happy fat water before turning around to talk to the three, "Are any of you immune to lightning?"

The three blinked and simultaneously shook their heads.

Li Chunhua finished the rest of her drink on the verge of tears. What urn should be the most beautiful?

[You’ve received a message from you friend Player Hua.]

[You’ve received a message from Player Dauntless Spear.]

[You’ve received a message from Player Green Thumb.]

[You’ve received a message from Player Geek.]

Li Chunhua heard the notifications and scrolled through the chat box. She opened Hua’s message first and received 45 units of various kinds of rare and unfamiliar ores.

[Player Hua]: Baozi, do you perhaps have any weapon blueprint?

Weapon Blueprint?

She opened the other’s message and found the contents were the same. All were asking her about blueprints.

She inquired Hua about the situation and the other side replied that someone was actually selling the blueprint of basic crossbow but the price was so ridiculous- 350 basic resources or 35 copper quality equipment.

Li Chunhua opened the trade market interface and confirmed that it was indeed true. A player named Hail the Emperor’s Harem was selling it but the Large Crossbow was smaller in size than the one being displayed in the loan shark system’s mall, and only has 20-25 base damage with a range of 8 meters.

Despite its mediocre properties, many were still buying it.

Hail the Emperor’s Harem?

Oh, this should be the guy who liked to collect women as his wives, planning to build a one-man empire. Most of his residents and natives were women. The dude had crazy ambitions of conquering even the galaxy and challenged Xun Mingsheng a few times in a fight.

Thought despite having a ballsy attitude and muscled brain, he was natural born fighter and become the most powerful martial artist and gave Xun Minsheng quite a hard time with his perfect cloning technique. You can just call him a version of orange haired guy from Konoha but without tails.

At some point, he also set his eyes on Scarlet Tempest but the latter only gave him an eye roll and turned him into a Popsicle for three days. And this was the start of a cliché romance of ’Falling head over heels.’

If she was not mistaken, Delusional Simping Emperor at this time should have that powerful succubus by his side and this female succubus should be the one who made the blueprint. The girl was mischievous and besides loving bloody battles, she loves to make contraptions.

She too had weapon blueprints obtained from the Secret Realm but the problem was it was mostly knife and guns. Guns would be good to sell but the problem was the production of ammunition. No one would be able to produce it at this point.

Looking at the long bullet screen underneath Hail the Emperor’s Harem, the gears on Li Chunhua’s mind started turning.

The elf and the three little carvers were startled by the sound of the table being slammed. Some of the wood fell off and rolled on the floor.

"For the love of dumpling, why didn’t I think of it!" Li Chunhua’s lips stretched into a cunning grin. Oh, system, you must have underestimated a cornered dumpling in debt will not bite back. He he. What you didn’t know, I’m also a pig with a tusk.

Her smile was very creepy and the others were disturbed and frightened, having weird thoughts forming on their head about her beating people and burying their corpses in the backyard.

"Brother Siri..." She leaned on the Elf’s ears and whispered her plan.

Siri listened silently and he found himself approving his Master’s plan. He nodded. "I’ll try Master." His hand grabbed the pen and sketch on the paper.

Li Chunhu tapped on the icon of the [Mini Catapult] and [Small Crossbows] and let Siri copied the blueprints of the two. She didn’t choose the other powerful weapons as it would bring her future trouble.

The Elf was well versed in the Four Arts of painting, making grass desserts, being a nanny and pulling hair, so it was easy for him to replicate the blueprints.

Under less than ten minutes, the Elf copied the blueprints down to the smallest of detail. It was even better than the ones produced by the photocopier machine from the original host’s world.

"Master, here you are." Siri handed the two blueprints over.

Li Chunhua sent the two blueprints to Player Hua and quoted a price of 2500 copper coins for the catapult and 3000 for the crossbow.

Li Chunhua was only testing the waters at first because she thought the price was a bit high but she deeply underestimated the players’ purchasing power.

In less than three seconds...

[Player Hua]: It’s done. Do you have extras? There are still many who wanted to purchase them.

[You’ve got 2500 copper coins.]

[You’ve got 3000 copper coins.]

(⊙ˍ⊙) That easy?

Li Chunhua: System I love you! Thank you for investing your blueprints in my money making business! You’re annoying sometimes but some time you are also very generous.

The system no. 27 was still being busy about the repairing the wrecked dungeon so it didn’t know that someone was taking advantage of it.

"How was it, Master?" Seeing a smile blooming on her lips, Siri asked.

"Brother Siri, our days of being debtors are over. I earned 5500 copper coins from just two blueprints." Li Chunhua placed another rim of bond papers on the table.

"5500? Master, we are rich! Rich! I mean free. We are free from slavery!"

The two stood up, hugged each other and danced in circles. "We are free! We are free!" The emotions were overwhelming that they found themselves in tears.

The three part-time carvers looked at each other wondering what the two was talking about.

"Master, how many more should I draw?" Siri asked in the midst of the victory dance.

She only lacks 18 gold coins so...

"3200 to 3500 more then we’re free!"

Siri stiffened, stopped dancing and stared blankly at Li Chunhua.

(＠_＠;)

3000?

Even he grew six arms, he would not be able to finish it.

Li Chunhua also realized the problem and the dreams of being free shattered in an instant. The two returned to their seats in desolation.

Making money is so hard.

If only they have a copy machine...

Li Chunhua’s eyes drifted on the wood and suddenly remembered those jade seals.

"Brother Siri, how about carving the designs on the wood and we’ll make it into a stamp?" Li Chunhua took out one unit of wood and suggested.

A stamp?

Siri thought of her idea and agreed. He measured the wood first to the size of the bond paper before having it cut into a plank, polishing its surface through his Master’s awesome hands and began carving.

Li Chunhua sent Hua and the other three a message that she’s going to sell more tomorrow. Thankfully, the other side were patient enough to wait.

Hail the Emperor’s Harem was initially angry about Baozi stealing his business but when the other side only produce two blueprints, he calmed down.

That was until Hua made an announcement that Baozi will be selling more tomorrow. Those who were planning to purchase from him retracted their orders.

"Baozi! Laozi will remember this grudge!" Hail the Emperor’s Harem kicked the table in anger.

(A/N: Drawn Blueprints were automatically patented and cannot be copied second-hand. In addition, only quite few had papers.)

While the Elf was fully concentrated on carving, Li Chunhua went outside and climbed the northern walls, planning to examine the reconstructed weapons.
