I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

【Item 99099: Selling rubber earplugs. Just one basic material is needed. Half a bottle of water is sufficient, not a full bottle.】

[Item No. 82889: Really? Everyone else is selling two basic materials!]

【Item No. 99099: Why don't you give it a try? I'll send you item details before shipping. Our transaction isn't about taking advantage of someone's misfortune; it's a mutually agreeable arrangement.】

It seems that Ninth Brother is no longer going to hide it, and the conditions he stated were very targeted.

Others collect two basic materials, but he specifically said he only collects one.

When Lu Youyou was selling something, he asked for a bottle of water, but Lu Youyou said he wanted half a bottle.

There were also sarcastic remarks like "profiteering from a disaster" and "it's all consensual," which made other rubber earplug sellers uncomfortable.

【ID 12345: You're fucking insane! You sell things out of mutual consent, but me taking two materials is considered robbery? What, did my hand control someone else's watch?】

[ID 78910: Yeah, everyone's intentionally avoiding the materials other bosses collect. Some collect water, some collect basic materials, and I only collect underwear and socks. Why do you collect everything?]

[ID 99099: Then report it to the police. Since when can't I accept your goods? Who made that rule? Or you can ask the Industry and Commerce Bureau to seal my property.]

【…】

As Lu Youyou watched the increasingly intense online argument, a sense of frustration welled up inside her.

She doesn't forbid others from selling the same things as her, nor does she forbid others from receiving the same things as her.

But Brother Jiu was clearly targeting everyone, selling everything at low prices while claiming it was for everyone's benefit.

It made her and the other people selling rubber earplugs look like heartless dogs.

Emmm...

That's good, the watch is completely silent now, and no one is going to her to buy rubber earplugs anymore.

Lu Youyou curled her lip. It seems that the saying "a scourge lives on for a thousand years" also applies to the Hunger Games.

It has to be said that Ninth Brother is quite lucky.

I initially got cotton earplug blueprints, and now I'm getting rubber earplug blueprints.

It's truly beyond words.

She sat up, opened her thermos, took a couple of sips of hot water, felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen, and then lay back down on the bed.

Just as she was about to go to sleep, her watch buzzed. When Lu Youyou opened her eyes, she found herself added to a group chat.

When did this happen?

[Item 12345: I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Any owners of rubber earplugs have anything to say?]

[ID 78910: When did I join this group? Did you add me? Has the watch received another feature update?]

[ID 13579: I guess I'll just have to swallow this loss. They're running a legitimate business, and their prices are lower than ours. If I were a customer, I'd choose them too.]

[ID 12345: @ID 88666, what do you have to say? You're the first person to sell rubber earplugs. Just give the order, and we'll support you as the Rubber Earplug King, and let that Brother Jiu taste your power!]

Lu Youyou originally wanted to peek at the chat, and after reading what everyone was talking about, she quietly left the group. But when she saw this mention, she was immediately pulled out.

[Me: Don't you dare use my name to go and mess with Brother Jiu. I don't intend to get involved in that kind of trouble.]

[ID 12345: Boss! Where's your guts? You've been bullied to the point of being blatantly humiliated!]

[Me: I argued with Brother Jiu, and then what? Should I ask him to raise prices or should I lower them? If he raises prices, will customers be willing? If I lower prices, I'm definitely not willing.]

After Lu Youyou finished speaking, no one on the public chat said anything, and no one knew what they were thinking.

[Me: My prices remain unchanged. I wouldn't need anything that's not valuable; it would just waste backpack space. If you want to start a price war with Brother Jiu, don't drag me into it. I'm leaving the group.]

[ID 12345: No! Boss, please don't leave the group! I've already checked it out, we have similar personalities, and we can help each other out in a small group, like having exclusive access to good stuff?]

[ID 78910: Sure, I was just thinking of buying some vegetables. I haven't been able to poop for days. Does anyone have any? I'll trade you toilet paper.]

Lu Youyou's eyes lit up the moment she saw the words "toilet paper".

God knows how she feels having to rinse with mineral water every time she finishes using the toilet!

Although washing with water is healthier, she always wipes down the surface before washing at home, but here she can't wipe it down and can only wash it with water.

Urinating is fine, but pooping is...

[Me: I have some dried mixed vegetables, kind of like the vegetable packets in instant noodles. Do you want some?]

Lu Youyou didn't like eating this kind of vegetable, so she thought of exchanging it for another one.

If the person doesn't want it, she'll then say she has fresh vegetables.

[ID 78910: Sure, I can only trade you 6 rolls of toilet paper. How many dried vegetables will you give me in return?]

Me: Half a jin.

【ID 78910: Okay, thank you.】

After reading this sentence, the other party's transaction request popped up.

Lu Youyou clicked "agree," and her backpack lost half a pound of dried vegetables but gained six rolls of toilet paper.

【ID 12345: I also want vegetables, but I have some chocolate here, do you want some? @88666】

Me: I don't like chocolate, and I don't want to switch.

[ID 12345: Really? That's great! Chocolate is very important in the Hunger Games. I hesitated for a long time before deciding to trade with you. So what do you want? What are you missing?]

Lu Youyou thought about it for a moment, and she was terrified of her own bad luck.

[Me: Do you have toilet paper?]

【Item 12345: No, I only have wet toilet paper. Do you want some? I can give you six packs too.】

Me: Okay.

The transaction was completed; Lu Youyou traded something she didn't like to eat for what she wanted most.

She had made wishes to Da Rui, but Da Rui was probably still a child, so his skills were unreliable, and she still hadn't gotten the toilet paper.

After the transaction was completed, the small group quieted down, and the large group stopped mentioning Lu Youyou; the watch stopped vibrating.

Lu Youyou turned over and curled up to sleep.

I slept soundly through the night without any dreams, waking up naturally.

When I got up, it was already seven in the morning.

Lu Youyou stretched, took out the electric cooker, poured in a bottle of mineral water, and then plugged it in and started it.

"Navigation, please stop."

The tricycle slowly came to a stop, and Lu Youyou got off with a roll of toilet paper.

After cleaning my private parts, I put on a new sanitary napkin, washed my hands again, and returned to the car. The water was already boiling.

Lu Youyou tore open a packet of instant noodles and started cooking it, then threw in a braised egg. After thinking for a moment, she added a sausage.

Today, her lower abdominal cramps have stopped. The pain is usually most severe for the first two days, and then she feels nothing afterward.

Whether she got used to the pain or something else, Lu Youyou was fully recovered.

We have to eat something delicious to celebrate.
