Chapter 249: Group purchase
Then, when Waldo saw the experience points he had gained from the backend transactions, he was slightly puzzled.
"This experience point data doesn’t seem right. Wait a minute... Oh my, I messed up!"
Waldo suddenly realized what had happened.
"I accidentally set the price to fifty experience points instead of five!"
Waldo finally understood why that person had sent him a private message. However, it was too late to change anything. At least he had sold everything, so it wasn’t a loss.
Next, Waldo adjusted the price of the ramen. He set it to twenty-five experience points per box. Then, he added the cola to the platform at two experience points per bottle.
This time, Waldo aimed to sell in large quantities. It was a necessity since survivors now understood the importance of experience points. They held onto their experience points tightly, making it difficult to take them from others.
Fortunately, the entire East District was open, and there were still plenty of buyers.
Soon, a new trade message appeared on the sales platform.
"Shocking! Ramen prices slashed by fifty percent! Your favorite cola now only costs two experience points!"
At this moment, Craig was eating ramen and humming a tune.
"Well, it’s still delicious, that unforgettable taste..."
Craig sighed but couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret after finishing his meal.
This thing is so expensive now, it’s become a luxury. I feel like it’s not worth it. For the survivors today, experience points are still very precious. Unless necessary, they generally won’t trade large quantities.
Soon, Craig, as usual, opened the trading platform to see if there were any good items.
Wait a minute! Ramen prices slashed by fifty percent? Well, well, it’s actually discounted! They were so arrogant yesterday, how come they’re lowering the prices today? Could it be that my words from yesterday had an effect?
Craig pondered this, not knowing that Waldo’s decision to lower the prices had nothing to do with his words but was simply a result of realizing the pricing mistake.
Then, Craig suddenly widened his eyes.
"Wait, what’s this? Cola? I can’t believe it! Craig stared in disbelief at the trade information and subconsciously licked his lips. At first, he thought he might be seeing things. Then he realized it was indeed cola!"
"I can’t believe it! It really is cola! I haven’t had cola in so long!"
Thinking about the taste of cola, Craig couldn’t help but feel nostalgic, especially when cola was paired with ramen. That was incredibly refreshing!
The price of cola isn’t too expensive either!
Craig thought for a moment and decided to buy a batch of ramen and cola.
Soon, he sent a direct message to Waldo: "Hey buddy, how much cola and ramen do you have? I need a sizable quantity."
Shortly after, he received a reply: "I’ve got plenty. You can have as much as you want, just as long as you’ve got enough experience points!"
Seeing this response, Craig felt confident.
Wow, it looks like he’s got a substantial inventory to speak so boldly!
He then said directly, "Alright, give me twenty boxes of ramen and two hundred bottles of cola!"
With this amount of ramen and cola, he thought he’d be set for quite a while.
A total of nine hundred experience points!
Nine hundred experience points were not a small sum! It stung a bit when he paid them.
It takes a good amount of time to accumulate nine hundred experience points. However, ramen and cola were consumables and quite popular. If he didn’t buy them right away, he might not get another chance anytime soon.
Though it was a bit painful, he didn’t feel like he was making a bad deal or doing anything wrong.
Soon, his backpack was filled with various flavors of ramen and bottles of cola.
Craig wasn’t the only one paying attention to the trading platform. The prices of cola and ramen were still within everyone’s budget.
They were a bit expensive but not unreasonable. However, most of them didn’t have enough experience points to meet Waldo’s minimum purchase requirements.
One-time purchases require a minimum of ten boxes of ramen and one hundred bottles of cola, or else please leave.
This restrictive condition discouraged those with limited resources. Four hundred and fifty experience points were not a small amount. Having that many experience points left to improve their own levels and strengthen their abilities seemed quite tempting.
Quickly, the trading information posted by Waldo spread like wildfire and gained more attention.
"Oh my gosh, it’s really ramen and cola!"
"Wow, I haven’t had ramen in so long, or cola for that matter!"
"Same here, I really miss that taste!"
"Back in the day, it was one bite of ramen, one sip of cola, and now, sniff."
"Tsk tsk, you’re not alone!"
"Ramen with cola is the ultimate combo!"
"I really want to eat them, but this price is a bit outrageous. To be honest, I can’t afford to buy at least ten boxes of ramen and one hundred bottles of cola at once!"
At this moment, someone suggested that those interested in buying ramen should pool their resources together. This way, they could collectively make the purchase, and the problem would be solved.
This proposal received unanimous approval from everyone. Soon, many survivors began forming groups to buy together, and the sales of ramen and cola were rapidly increasing.
Very well, completed the first transaction!
After receiving nine hundred experience points from Craig, Waldo was a little happy.
It seems that, as he expected, ramen and cola do have a strong attraction.
"How’s it going?" Helen asked.
"We’ve already completed the first transaction and gained nine hundred experience points!" Waldo said with a smile.
"So much?" The two women were a little surprised.
Nine hundred experience points for one transaction?
With a few more transactions, won’t we easily reach tens of thousands?
It’s hard to say for now, after all, not everyone is so generous.
Waldo shook his head slightly.
However, after saying this, it didn’t take long for more and more transactions to be submitted.
