Chapter 46
Lu Shu had thought about it before, that with its godly effects, the fastest way to earn money was definitely from the fruit of refreshment.
For now, he could obtain heavenly fruits and refreshments with relative ease, but he had yet to experiment with heavenly fruits. Unable to be sure if it had an impact on others, Lu Xiaoyu was unable to help him understand the strength better as he had yet to begin his training.
Well, the only option left is fresh fruits.
If he could sell it, it was certain that many would want it. Improving their talents and physical condition, the rich will definitely buy them to ensure their own well-being as well as their families. Therefore, Lu Shu was convinced that many were willing to do just that.
But the problem is that the refreshment fruit will start to expire about 6 hours after it is taken from its inventory. Unsure of the total time that it would last before disappearing, it removed his choice to send it to someone else.
And furthermore, powerful figures could still track him down even if he did not enter his address from all the small details left behind.
For example, they can track the person who sent the file, have the expert identify his or her handwriting and even investigate traffic surveillance cameras. It's a fact that there's no money that can't be done.
It was worth the effort as long as many people could get some fruit refreshment.
Since it cannot deliver, a face-to-face transaction is even more unlikely. It was laughable to think that they would only leave after buying fruit from Lu Shu. They will most likely force him to tell them where this fruit came from.
Stating that they grow it from a tree would be too hard to believe unless the customer would buy the story. To get the truth out of him, they had to torture him or not.
Not to generalize that the whole system of government is disgusting, but the fact remains that there must be some broken individuals in the system. Especially in a time when society is in turmoil due to the current metahuman situation, it would be perfectly understandable for influential individuals to plan some ideas to benefit themselves.
Metahumans today still cannot be assembled and used as troops in war, but what about using them as bodyguards? Even an iron sand martial artist would not hold a candle to them and their martial arts might just be considered a joke in front of their prowess.
Lu Shu pondered about the different paths metahumans could take in the future and there were too many to consider. Being a celebrity and raking in money is the best possibility but being a genius surgeon with improved concentration is another great avenue that should also be taken. A surgeon who does not make mistakes in surgery will make the entire country queue for his services.
Despite being the first to be noticed by others, fighting ability was not the only useful force out there.
Regardless of how others get along and whether he will be able to find a suitable method to make money for himself in the future, Lu Shu felt that the only thing that mattered was to become stronger. That would probably pave a more favorable path for him to take, but for now, he could only rely on his smelly tofus.
At least it's a lot easier than selling eggs, isn't it?
To run its business, selling those eggs involves replenishing items alone. If an egg on the market in place costs 10 cents more, Lu Shu would have to travel 2 kilometers to another supermarket just to buy it.
Small details when accumulated would become significant and 10 cents was not something he could easily ignore. Based on the number of eggs he sold a day, the amount of money he could save from that many 10 cents could make Lu Xiaoyu a baked sweet potato or something else. Cravings for sweet potatoes in winter and ice cream in summer, there is always something she wants to eat. . .
Therefore, Lu Shu had to get up at 5am just to buy eggs from the market. That morning market also has homemade eggs that taste better and are sometimes relatively cheaper.
To sell rotten tofu instead, he could save even more by skipping this storage process and in addition, cooking those eggs required water, electricity, and gas; all of which were resources he could stop paying!
Leaping over joy from his mind, he could barely contain himself!
For an orphan like Lu Shu, his ability to maintain a positive attitude even though he had to support himself had helped him to continue living. He has experienced some of the worst misfortunes in life and a lack of optimism may make it difficult for him to move on.
To know his foul smell was even more smelly than he had in the past, but it was even more. ..authentic and tasty!
Some people are so fond of rotten tofu that even the smell alone is enough to stop them. If there was such a customer, his foul sense of know would definitely turn them into his regular customers. To say that the system has fooled him badly is not entirely true!
Lu Xiaoyu wanted Lu Shu to use her ability to make a crepe cloth for her after she finished her part of the rotten tofu and as expected, she was mercilessly shot down by Lu Shu.
The next morning, Lu Shu brought a large box from his house. The box was used to carry her belongings during her home move but is now useful for containing rotten tofu.
He has to take the rotten tofu from his stock at home because it would be strange if he magically made it appear in front of his customers. Fortunately, he wasn't crazy enough to do that …
Had it been the old Lu Shu before, he would not have been able to lift the box that contained 20+ portions of that rotten tofu. However, it was only a simple task for him at the moment.
Of course, even though he could handle it with just one hand, he had to pretend that at least effort was required.
Arriving at the destination to set up his shop, the boss of a breakfast shop next door was happy to see Lu Shu, "You here, Shu, want a bowl of spicy pepper soup?"
Lu Shu smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, Uncle Li, but I've eaten at home."
"Haha, why isn't Lu Xiaoyu here today? The little girl will sit in the corner selling those eggs for you and they will sell out immediately" Uncle Li said. She admired Lu Xiaoyu because she could sit there without saying a word and her business would still boom.
Lu Shu raised his eyebrows. How is Lu Xiaoyu charming? The little girl was a mischievous demon and she really knew how to put on a show.
Before the market was built, this location was used as a place where sellers peddled groceries and customers would gather here to produce and breakfast.
But once the market is built, city council management will patrol the area daily, limiting the seller's livelihood.
Government policy came shortly after it slowly sided with low-income groups. The city then decided to establish areas where hawkers had permission to sell their produce and breakfast; and as a result, the place became lively once again.
Since most of those who sell groceries have moved to the market, only those who sell breakfast foods remain.
If that was not the case, Lu Shu believed that he would always run away from the management of the city council. One had to flee for a living and the other had to chase them to keep up the cultural development of the city, and both sides would not be easy …
However, now there was no need to worry anymore and even the city councilors liked to have breakfast here.
As soon as Lu Shu opened the box, Li Guoyang, the breakfast vendor in the vicinity, suddenly turned around. Many other neighboring store owners were not spared because they paused for a moment as well .. This smell .. is very pungent!
"From Li Guoyang's distress, +5 +2 +1 +7"
"From …"
Oscillating in the air, the stench of rotten tofu struck everyone's nostrils. The distress points contributed by them also fluctuate according to high and low …
The shopkeepers around, not only Li Guoyang, contributed to Lu Shu's distress points. Regardless of what they were selling, be it groceries, sesame balls, fried dough, crepe or Chinese bread, everyone felt as if they were suffocating …
