Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!
Chapter 40, Finding Fault
These words excited many people.
"Really? That guy is so kind!"
"Um, I have 7 iron blocks and 10 stones. Can I exchange them for an ice basin?"
"How is that possible? This is ridiculous!" Someone immediately poured cold water on the idea.
Lin Yue: "Okay!"
Anyway, the ice basin only requires 2 iron blocks, 2 saltpeter, and 2 bottles of water, and her improved version reduces the material requirements by half. As long as she can exchange for more materials than that, she can make a profit.
The price she previously revealed to Zhou Zeyang was the result of carefully considering everyone's resources. This price was affordable for most people, and it also allowed her to accumulate a significant amount of supplies quickly.
However, if she wants to lower the price now, she needs to come up with a reasonable explanation that will make everyone grateful to her without making those who paid a high price feel uncomfortable.
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and posted a message on the public screen: "I just received a lot of private messages. I know that many people are having a hard time right now. They don't have enough supplies, but they really need ice basins. The weather is too hot, and many people have already experienced heatstroke, dizziness, blood loss, and other symptoms. If another wave of animal attacks comes at this time, many people may not be able to survive."
She paused for a moment after saying this, and many people started replying below.
"Yes, yes, it's really difficult."
"Please, boss, save us! I want to live!"
"I beg you."
Lin Yue continued, "I really want to help everyone, so I plan to make ice basins as much as I can. Even if the exchanged goods are ordinary or the quantity is small, it's fine. However, if the price is too low, I feel it's unfair to those who have just given everything they have to get an ice basin. But if the price is too high, I'm worried that many people won't be able to gather enough... I'm really in a dilemma."
The players became even more agitated, leaving messages on the public chat, some complaining and others offering their support, creating a lively scene.
Seeing that everyone's emotions seemed to have reached their peak, with the entire chat filled with messages asking for help, and even the bald man who had previously exchanged the ice basins speaking up, saying that he didn't mind Lin Yue earning less money, Lin Yue finally spoke up and decided: "To make ice basins, iron blocks, saltpeter, and water are all essential materials. If you really don't have any, I still have some water stored here, and you can use materials like stones as substitutes! Each ice basin is priced at 3 iron blocks, 3 saltpeter, and 3 bottles of water. Once you have everything ready, come find me, and I will make them in order."
After three days, most people should have these materials.
As expected, Lin Yue's words immediately stirred up the players' emotions. After expressing their gratitude, they all began to gather supplies.
In no time, orders came in like snowflakes.
Looking at the 99+ message notifications in the message box, Lin Yue felt a wave of dizziness. No, there were too many! She definitely couldn't handle it all by herself.
At this point, there was no time for formalities. Lin Yue quickly contacted Han Weiyi and Zhou Zeyang for help. After agreeing on the corresponding compensation, she assigned them the tasks of collecting materials and conducting the transaction, while Lin Yue herself was only responsible for production.
After posting a brief explanation on the public chat, Lin Yue buried herself in her work.
Lin Yue made 20 ice basins in batches of 20, then distributed them to the group of people in order, and then took materials from the next person to continue making them.
Making an ice basin takes about 30 seconds, and removing it from the workbench and putting it into her backpack takes an additional few seconds. All in all, Lin Yue can make a maximum of one hundred per hour.
She worked for more than two hours and collected nearly a thousand iron blocks, saltpeter, and substitute stones. After finishing, she had more than six hundred left for herself after deducting the wages she gave to several people.
The supplies were much more plentiful, but Lin Yue was exhausted.
More than two hundred ice basins have already been sold, which is not a small number, but for the large number of people waiting in the area, this number is insignificant.
Under the scorching sun, people were filled with anxiety, and soon some began to grow impatient.
In the small group chat that Lin Yue had created in advance, Zhou Zeyang started sending messages anxiously: "Sister Lin, there are too many people wanting it, and they are all urging us to hurry up."
Han Weiyi couldn't help but pout. The little girl hadn't stopped for a moment, collecting supplies, collecting ice basins, confirming names, and sending messages. She hadn't been this tired in the three days she had been playing the game, but she didn't dare to stop: "Sister, I'm the same here. They're pushing me so hard. Many people say they can't hold on much longer!"
Although Zhao Lei, Liang Dong, and Xu Tiantian didn't say anything, they must be facing similar situations.
In the regional chat channel, some people have already started urging:
Huang Wenmin: "Lin Yue, can you hurry up? I placed my order almost ages ago, and it's still not my turn?"
Li Guang: "Are you doing this on purpose? Just because we wanted to borrow equipment, you're deliberately dragging your feet to wear us down?"
His words were quite offensive, and given that Lin Yue had just won over many people by selling ice basins at a low price, some people immediately stood up to speak in Lin Yue's defense.
"Isn't what the person upstairs said a bit too much? Receiving materials and making ice basins takes time, and then they're sent out in order. It's only been a little over two hours, and many people have already received theirs. Isn't that fast enough?"
"That's right. They've already explained the equipment lending issue. They didn't take it to heart at all, but you guys are still holding onto it. It's ridiculous."
"It's just a petty mindset."
Seeing that Li Guang was about to make a mistake, Zhao Yuxuan quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Everyone has a point. Huang Wenmin, Li Guang, don't worry. We should trust Lin Yue. She will definitely treat everyone equally in business."
"Am I the only one who thinks the tea tastes a bit bland?"
Ni Yi: "Exactly, you're doing business? Does your family buy three pieces of saltpeter and three pieces of iron?"
Zhang Wanfang: "I published a skills book and I didn't say anything. You have such a small amount of knowledge and you have the nerve to say that others don't treat everyone equally."
"If you ask me, it would have been better to charge a higher price. Everything was fine before, but now some people are just too poor to be grateful and are even picking fights."
