TL: Moonlit
When Su Jin woke up, he found that the sunlight that used to shine into his eyes every morning was blocked. Subconsciously, he looked up and outside, only to see four lush trees with fruits hanging not far away.
Startled, he sat up abruptly and nudged Kane, who was sleeping next to him, “Wake up, look outside!”
Kane, awakened by the shaking, groggily opened his eyes and asked, “What’s wrong…uh…”
Kane looked at the large trees outside, rubbed his face with his hand, and his big black dog beside him excitedly barked, “Woof!”
“What’s going on? How did such a big tree appear in our yard?”
By now, Kane had fully awakened and saw Su Jin uncovering the blanket and getting out of bed, so he also got up to go outside and take a look.
Su Jin remembered that last night before going to bed, Lin Su had mentioned planting fruit trees, and today they saw it: “It must be Xiao Su, it must be Xiao Su.”
Coming out of the room and closely examining the four lush fruit trees in front of them, not only were they covered with fruits, but the air was also filled with a pleasant fragrance.
By now, quite a few people had noticed the four fruit trees and walked out of their homes, curiously gathering outside Lin Su’s yard, saying, “The smell is so fragrant!”
“I’ve tasted apple-flavored nutritional supplements, is this the same smell?”
“Is this the scent of oranges?”
“Have you guys noticed that the air around Lin Su’s house seems unusually fresh!”
“You’re all talking about this, but aren’t you curious about how Lin Su managed to grow four fruit trees overnight?”
“Didn’t Lin Su already form a contract? Didn’t you see him release the contract plant out of thin air that day? It was so thick and strong. Having purifying abilities is really different. The contract plant at my house is only as big as my pinky finger and can’t do anything!”
“Looking at it this way, this purifying ability is really extraordinary!”
“Well, what did you expect? If it were simple, would the Empire value them so much?”
“That’s right, didn’t you see the attitude of the law enforcement department people who came last time? Do I need to say more about the current situation in the Tang household?”
“Hey, Su Jin, good morning! These fruit trees in your yard are remarkable, it’s Lin Su’s doing, right?”
Seeing Su Jin coming out of the house, this group of people immediately crowded around the gate of the yard, clamoring and asking Su Jin, even though they knew that it wouldn’t earn them some answers, they couldn’t help but be curious.
Kane came out behind Su Jin and as soon as he opened the door, he heard the noisy voices. “Well, why don’t you all stay at home in the early morning? Why did you all come to our yard to see what’s going on?”
“Kane, you’re amazing! Now you can get out of bed and walk. It won’t be long before you recover, right?”
“Thank you for caring. When I’m better, I’ll definitely remember to let you know.”
After joking around for a while, someone looked at the fruits hanging on the trees and smelled the fragrance in the air, unable to resist asking, “Kane, do you sell these fruits? How much and how? They smell so good. If the price is cheap, I’ll buy some to taste!”
“Yeah, let’s sell them cheaper to our neighbors!”
“Stop talking so much. You can’t finish eating them all anyway. Why not share some with us? We’ll help you eat them, so it won’t go to waste, right?”
“I think you guys just want to freeload. Find out how much purifying fruits and vegetables cost before opening your mouth. You won’t be able to eat them. Alright, alright, stop crowding in front of our house. We’re going to cook soon, and you probably won’t be able to bear it!”
Lin Su was awakened by the noise outside and opened the curtains to see Kane bantering with the people outside the yard, full of energy.
Last night, when he cultivated the four fruit trees in one go, he knew it would cause such a sensation.
William looked at Lin Su, who was squatting on the edge of the bed and leaning against the window, with messy short black hair that hadn’t been taken care of, a tuft of disheveled hair sticking up, and a pair of clean and clear black eyes filled with excitement. The dimples on his cheeks couldn’t hide.
“William, what do you think about opening a purified fruits and vegetables store?”
Last night, when he was working on the fruit trees, he was thinking that relying solely on government purchases was relatively reliable, but they couldn’t put all their eggs in one basket. So ultimately, they needed to have their own industry.
These few fruit trees were like promotional advertisements, and it probably wouldn’t be long before more people came because of the reputation.
Even though the per capita income of the Norse people wasn’t high and their purchasing power was low, they certainly weren’t lacking wealthy individuals.
Lin Su turned his head to look at William with eager anticipation. It was clear that he couldn’t resist trying it out.
William was infected by his optimism, and a smile appeared in his golden eyes as he nodded.
Immediately, Lin Su pounced on him and gave him a hug. “When we have money, let’s buy a floating car, the kind that can fly in the sky. Then you can go out and explore.”
Instantly, William, who was suddenly embraced, stiffened, and the pleasant fragrance from Lin Su’s body made him dizzy. Just as he hesitated about whether or not to hug Lin Su back, Lin Su let go and smiled, saying, “Alright, I’ll go freshen up. You rest a little longer.”
William, whose hand was already raised halfway, felt somewhat regretful as he pursed his lips. Why did he hesitate just now!
“Um!” Just as he got off the bed, Lin Su almost knelt down again. It seemed like the fall in the bathroom last night had strained his large hip bones. Now, with just one step, his legs felt sore and trembled.
Was it because the side effects of repeatedly using his abilities had exhausted him, or was this body of his just too weak?
Feeling William’s worried gaze, Lin Su forced a smile and said, “I’m fine, I’m good.”
Saying that, he staggered into the bathroom with trembling legs.
Watching Lin Su’s walking posture, William remained silent for three seconds, then turned his head away, his cheeks slightly flushed.
When the people outside saw Lin Su coming out, they immediately got excited. “Xiao Su, just now your father asked us to inquire about whether your family is selling the fruits from these trees and how much they cost. Can you give us a neighborly discount?”
“Apples are 300 beast coins per kilogram, oranges are 400 beast coins per kilogram. If you buy both, I can give you a price of 350 beast coins per kilogram. This is the current price, but it might increase in a couple of days. First come, first served. Is anyone interested? If so, I can pack them for you now!”
As soon as Lin Su finished speaking, the people outside suddenly fell silent, all looking at them with astonishment.
Kane could tell what these people were thinking. “Don’t think this price is expensive. The government pays 300 beast coins per kilogram for purchasing fruits and vegetables. Giving you this retail price is already very generous!”
“But it’s still too expensive. How can ordinary folks like us afford it?”
“Yeah, it’s way too expensive. We all live as neighbors. Even if you sell to others at a slightly higher price, can’t you give us a neighborly discount?”
“A neighborly discount?” Kane sneered. “When you mocked my kid for not having beast patterns, why didn’t you talk about neighborly kindness? When I was bedridden and couldn’t get up due to illness, why didn’t you talk about neighborly kindness and offer help? When my family was reported last time, why didn’t any of you step up to help and say a good word, talking about neighborly kindness? And now you come to us talking about neighborly kindness. Do you deserve it?”
Su Jin watched Kane’s face turn red, and he hurriedly came over to support him, worried about his condition. “Why argue with them? Calm down!”
Lin Su understood that Kane had accumulated this resentment over the years of his illness, and it was time to release it. In a way, it was a good thing.
Looking at the people standing outside the yard, asking for neighborly kindness, with Kane’s words hitting them like a dyeing house on their faces, Lin Su curled his lips, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, and smiled in a cute and obedient manner. But the words that came out of his mouth could make people fume with anger, “Anyone interested in buying? If not, let’s disperse. We need to prepare breakfast. Oh, by the way, if anyone is interested in our purified fruits and vegetables, you can come anytime to buy them. I will hang up the prices later. However, the ones I just gave were a friendly price. When we officially list them, they will return to the market price ^_^”
The crowd looked at the smile on Lin Su’s face and subconsciously recalled the last time when the law enforcement department came to handle the report. This little omega also turned the situation around with such a cheerful smile.
Now, as they looked at the same smile, everyone’s hearts tightened involuntarily. These prices of 300 and 400 were already friendly prices. What would happen when they returned to the market price?
