Chapter 21 – Uncle made a lot of money

Li Wu was in a good mood. Although leveling up from 2 to 3 required 36,000 experience points, each Land Turtle provided 60 experience points, and even when split in half, it still gave 30 points, which was half more than the Giant Rabbit.

Now, the speed of farming Land Turtles was even faster than that of Giant Bunnies, and the overall efficiency was truly satisfying.

However, there was one downside: the level 2 monster gathering areas were no longer as deserted as the Giant Rabbit Plains. The number of players had increased significantly. After the two of them farmed over thirty Land Turtles in one go, there were no more monsters nearby, and they had to search around or wait for respawns.

They hadn't encountered any of the usual scenarios like showing off and getting embarrassed, killing others for loot, or even being tempted by beauty. The game's pain sensation was too realistic, and most people didn't dare to engage in PK lightly.

Resorting to hunting turtles, the skill level of the surrounding players was evident.

The two of them farmed until 4 PM. The young girl, who had been playing for over twenty hours straight, couldn't hold on any longer and logged off to catch up on sleep.

Li Wu checked the time and suddenly realized that if the Electric Zombie King respawned every 12 hours, it should be up by now.

After thinking it over, he decided there might not be enough time, so he put it aside for now because Baby Tuan was about to finish school.

"Ding, your [Silver Wolf Fang] has been purchased by a player. The transaction amount is 167 gold, with a transaction tax of 16 gold and 70 silver deducted. The remaining 150 gold and 30 silver have been transferred to your wallet."

Li Wu couldn't help but smile as he saw the message.

Although it was a few gold less than expected, the set of Silver Equipment sold for much more than anticipated.

The price of the Silver Dual Pistols was quite dismal, selling for only 2 gold. Compared to other weapons of the same level and quality, it was practically a Chinese Cabbage, mainly because the fuel consumption was too high, even Bai Dabao couldn't afford to use it. Its value was more in collection than practicality.

However, the other eight pieces of Silver Equipment sold for a high price, fetching a total of 28 gold, leaving 25 gold and 20 silver after deducting the transaction tax.

If you don't count the transaction tax and only consider the total price, everything sold for 197 gold.

Li Wu estimated that the [Zombie King Scepter] would be hard-pressed to exceed 280 gold. After all, Bai Dabao, the strongest competitor, didn't have the cash to drive up the price, so the scepter's increase wouldn't be much. Ultimately, it was just a level 6 piece of equipment.

The top players had already reached level 9, and even a level 6 gold-grade weapon would likely depreciate significantly soon.

With an additional 267 gold and 30 silver in his bag, Li Wu didn't wait a second longer and directly withdrew 267 gold.

What if Blue Star Online went bankrupt the next second?

The bank card received 253,650 yuan. Li Wu took out a bottle of mineral water, drank half, and saved the other half.

That's how extravagant he was—no bread, just water!

Playing until 4:50, Li Wu logged off on time, raced to the kindergarten on his little electric scooter, and the kids hadn't started coming out yet.

Taking advantage of his youth and agility, Li Wu weaved through the defense circle of elderly folks and successfully stood in the front row.

It was his first time arriving early at the kindergarten. Baby Tuan often said she wished to see her uncle first thing after school. Unfortunately, Li Wu was too busy with three jobs, often arriving late, and sometimes Tuantuan was the only child left in the entire kindergarten.

As the music played, the toddlers, led by their teachers, came out in lines, class by class.

Li Wu clung tightly to the railing beside him, anchoring himself in the front row despite the crowd, even when an old lady tried to elbow him in the back.

Finally, it was Tuantuan's class's turn.

Little Tuantuan poked her head out as soon as she exited the school building, eagerly looking toward the kindergarten gate.

Even though she was often a bit disappointed, Baby Tuan always wanted to see her uncle first.

Baby Tuan's eyes lit up, and even from a distance, Li Wu could see the sparkle in her eyes and her newly grown molars.

Tuantuan was very sensible. Although she wanted to rush into her uncle's arms, she obediently held hands with other children, following the teacher's guidance to walk slowly to the gate.

Teacher Leilei also saw Li Wu, and her nose suddenly tingled. For the first time, she didn't follow the usual order and directly pulled Tuantuan, who was standing in the last row, to the front and handed her to Li Wu.

Li Wu picked up Tuantuan in one swift motion, nodded at Teacher Leilei, and turned to protect Baby Tuan as they made their way out of the crowd.

"Uncle, Baby is so happy! Baby saw Uncle right after school!"

"Yes, Uncle is happy too. From now on, Uncle will make sure Baby sees Uncle first thing after school, okay?"

"Okay!" Tuantuan wrapped her little arms tightly around Li Wu's neck. "Baby loves Uncle the most!"

"Did you have enough for dinner, sweetie?"

"Sorry, Baby didn't eat enough. There was something green in the food today, and Baby ate slowly. By the time Baby finished, the other kids were done, and Baby was too anxious, so Baby didn't eat."

"No need to apologize. Uncle isn't angry. That green thing is called broccoli, and it will make Baby stronger. Let's try to eat it next time, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Baby is so good. How about Uncle takes you to a restaurant now? The one you wanted to go to last time."

"Really? The one with the big, big lion?"

"Yes! Uncle made a lot of money today, so let's go have something nice."

"Yay! Uncle made a lot of money! Is it a hundred yuan?"

"More than a hundred yuan!"

"Is it a thousand yuan?"

"More than a thousand yuan!"

"Wow! Is it as much as five hundred yuan?"

"Um, sweetie, how about Uncle enrolls you in an arithmetic class?"

"Does the arithmetic class have dolls?"

"You can bring one, but I'm not sure if the class accepts students as young as you."

The so-called big restaurant was only big in Tuantuan's eyes. In a small county town, the largest hotel couldn't even get a star rating.

Li Wu extravagantly ordered four dishes that Tuantuan loved. After all, it was a treat, and Baby Tuan got full after just two bites of each.

After finishing, Li Wu packed the leftovers. He was destined to stay up late tonight, so they could serve as a midnight snack.

Back home, he rarely had time to play interactive games with Tuantuan and let her braid his hair while he browsed the Blue Star Online forum on his phone.

Earning over three hundred thousand in a day and a night, even if luck played a significant role, Li Wu couldn't ignore it.

Moreover, with the national mandatory time limit in place, Li Wu thought he might as well treat it as a job.

To do a job well, you have to start by understanding it.

After researching for a while, Li Wu found that he couldn't find any information on Blue Star Online's operations company, not even the development company. All the information he found stated it was state-owned.

Is it reasonable for the state to develop and operate it?

Reasonable!

But what puzzled him was that he couldn't find out which state developed and operated it.

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

That was very unreasonable!

Although Li Wu was puzzled, he couldn't find any relevant information.
