Chapter 276 I made this dumpling just because of the jealousy
"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."
After the elves observed the environment near the Azure Highlands, Zhou You told them a very real problem: "We don't have a penny anymore."
"How is this possible?" Eden expressed disbelief at this. "Don't we have the salaries of Elvish translators and laboratory assistants, the royalties of awakening candies, the rewards for collecting legendary elf data, the bonuses for winning the alliance conference, and Axi?" Do you need the start-up funds?”
After his career as a traveling trainer is on the right track, he can earn money faster than before. In addition, food and accommodation are all at the Damu Research Institute. Even if he buys a shabby piece of land that no one wants, he shouldn't be left with nothing, right? !
"After purchasing the private land, there is indeed some left, but don't forget that I still need to pay Tolito a salary. The research funds for Awakening Toffee have not been released yet and I need to invest myself. Then there are still farm tools and related equipment. Of course having a decoration team is not free..."
Calculating all kinds of expenses, even if Zhouyou makes money every month, it is limited to the fact that the income is basically flat in the past two months, that is, the active funds on hand are approximately equal to 0.
Moreover, on the night of the full moon a week later, he will go to the Forest of Oath in Suanmu Town to provide supplies to the Holy Swordsmen, and bring back a group of elves abandoned by humans. Then it will be another additional expense. .
"Woof!?" Zhanfan was shocked.
Can’t you afford to eat just after you have your own home? ?
Zhou You took the opportunity to rub the dog's head: "Don't worry, we still have enough energy cubes left to eat for about a week."
He didn't leave any escape route for himself.
"That means we have to collect enough food and medicine within 7 days. Is it best to earn some cash?" Eden had a rough understanding of the current predicament and suggested, "Then use the money I earned before." How about selling some of the carrying items, skill machines and other props, or Qiao Qiao, take out some valuable items from the box and sell them?”
"Theoretically, we can indeed survive this period by selling props, but why sell the money we finally earned back? Let's just hoard it in case we need it one day?"
Although he may face a fiscal deficit until the end of the year, Zhou You's tone is extremely cheerful: "With no penny left, no fields cultivated at all, and not even a house, burdened with a fiscal deficit, and only a few farm tools, seeds, and kettles, how can you start? Don’t you think this feels very good?”
The start of simulation business games like ○ Field Story, ○ Hair Workshop, ○ Rune Room, and ○○ alchemy XX are basically like this.
Eden was thoughtful when he heard this, could this guy deliberately spend all his money just for the gaming experience?
That's right, Zhou Youxin thought, if you have hundreds of thousands of deposits at the beginning and can buy whatever you want, then what's the point of this game?
"I don't quite understand. What if we fail to gather supplies for the next full moon and cannot afford to raise the abandoned elves?" Keldeo asked the soul question. It didn't want Copalion to think that I can't do anything well on my own.
By the way, didn’t the masters say that Reshiram and Zekrom would help/assist the heroes to create a real/ideal world every time they wake up?
Do humans call people who play farming games all day long heroes?
Facing the question from Little Water Horse's soul, Old God Zhou You nodded: "Well, of course I won't joke about promises. If the time is approaching and the start is not completed smoothly, I will directly find a way to get money to buy what I need. thing."
In fact, the financial burden in the first week is not high. Even if you travel around for a week, there won’t be much problem.
And instead of selling the limited inventory, it is better to ask Reshiram to take him around the universe, find a special asteroid to bring back, and then go to Hoenn to sell it to Daigo.
As for Rayquaza's answer or not... we can let Reshiram and Zekrom go to negotiate with it.
But playing like this would ruin the game experience. Zhou You always believed that business games should be calmed down and savored slowly.
"Okay, then what is our primary goal now?" Eden's tone was full of helplessness, "I guess we need to fix the place where we live first."
"The Guaili Decoration Team will come to Zhanlan City in three days to take care of the house, decoration, water and electricity. During this period, we can only survive with the camping kit. Fortunately, the rainfall is beginning to decrease in autumn, so even if we camp in the wild for a while, we will be able to survive." It doesn't matter."
Unless it's a rainy day, Arthur, Leftover, Yeib, and Keldeo all prefer to live outdoors compared to human houses.
Looking around, I got a general idea of the current priorities: "There are three things that are our top priority."
“First, handle the relationship with local residents well.
"Leave the elves to Eden and Keldeo. By the way, ask them if they want to help with reclamation and taking care of the trees in exchange for energy cubes. Leave the humans to me. I will go to Zhanlan City with Arthur to investigate. The market will see where it is more suitable to sell our crops.”
"Second, the farm tools will arrive in the afternoon. We have to clear an area first, then ask Xiaozhi to borrow some Kentero to cultivate the land, and then test on a small scale whether the Duck Watering Can is as magical as Reshiram said.
"If tree fruits can really mature from sowing to maturity within three or four days, I suspect that this is not actually an emergency prop to sacrifice quantity to increase maturity speed, but an agricultural black technology used for breeding and hybridization."
Things that are planted germinate in one day, bloom in two days, and bear fruit in three days. An average of two days is a generation. This kind of black technology is probably a miracle that people in this era dare not even dream of.
In order to make proper use of this item, Zhou You may really need to learn some knowledge about agriculture and breeding, and strive to breed high-quality tree fruits as soon as possible.
“The third thing is to confirm the surrounding environment. After all, materials are not enough, and many things have to be obtained locally.
"The first is the most important freshwater resource. There are two waterfalls in the south. You can go there and inspect them when you have time to see if there are any problems with the water quality there, but you must pay attention to safety.
"The second is the elf branch and local planting. Investigating the elf branch is also one of our duties. Using local tree fruits as seeds may be more suitable for the surrounding environment..."
Before Zhou You could continue talking, Eden suddenly realized a problem: "Qiaoqiao, how serious are you about this matter? Didn't you say that you are going to mess it up in the future? Why are you so serious about doing business all of a sudden? ?”
Zhou You was immediately stunned by the other party's question.
"What are you talking about, Eden? How can playing business simulation in the real world be considered a serious matter?" He couldn't help correcting the other party's misconception righteously, "I made this dumpling just because of this jealousy!"
"Is it possible, Qiaoqiao, that farming in reality cannot be considered a business simulation?" Keldeo pointed out the biggest contradiction in the other party's testimony.
