OFR – Chapter 11 Make money

This night, Mu Bai slept peacefully because he had a sense of direction for the future. Unlike the previous few days when he couldn’t sleep well due to lack of work.

The night passed without incident, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.

Mu Bai, as usual, got dressed and washed up. After freshening up, he checked his phone and found it to be a little after six in the morning.

Yesterday, Mu Bai had calculated the time, and he estimated that the orchid and cactus in the magical space would mature around noon. So, instead of checking the space immediately, he went out for breakfast first after returning.

Upon his return, Mu Bai tidied up the messy basement. By the time he finished organizing, it was already eleven o’clock.

“At this time, the cactus and orchid should have finished growing,” Mu Bai said excitedly.

After all, this was worth at least twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

Although the orchid was also a common flower, it was slightly more expensive than the cactus. So Mu Bai estimated that he could sell it for another ten or twenty thousand yuan.

He picked up the jade pendant around his neck. Under the dim light of the small lamp, it shimmered with a different shade of green.

With a thought in his mind, Mu Bai entered the magical space.

“Ding! The two plants have absorbed enough nutrients and are now saturated. Further absorption would be ineffective. Do you want to harvest them?”

“Harvest.”

Upon entering, Mu Bai heard the mechanical voice of the system. Without hesitation, he proceeded to harvest.

Mu Bai clicked on the harvest button, and a beautiful cactus and orchid appeared in his hands.

With these two plants in hand, Mu Bai came out of the magical space and placed them on the table, admiring them in the dim light of the small lamp.

The cactus was as beautiful as before, with a shimmering green color. As for the orchid, it was also beautiful, but its green was different from that of the cactus.

The orchid’s green was emerald, unlike the deep green of the cactus. The green of the orchid was more refreshing, and after being cultivated in the magical space for twenty hours, golden lines appeared on the edges of its leaves.

An ordinary orchid, after being cultivated in the magical space, miraculously turned into a golden-edged orchid, which would increase its value.

Mu Bai looked at the two plants excitedly and took several pictures with his phone.

He planned to ask Han Mengyun if she wanted to buy these two plants. After all, Han Mengyun seemed kind-hearted, and she wasn’t the kind of unscrupulous businessman. So it would be better to sell them to her.

He logged into WeChat and sent the pictures to Han Mengyun.

…

Han Mengyun, who was about to go downstairs for lunch, felt her phone vibrate suddenly.

“Hmm? Who sent me a message?” Han Mengyun curiously opened it and found that it was Mu Bai, whom she met yesterday.

It was several pictures, one of an exceptionally beautiful cactus and another of an equally stunning golden orchid.

The green of the orchid, coupled with its noble golden edges, made it look like a piece of art no matter how you looked at it.

Han Mengyun looked at the pictures sent by Mu Bai and couldn’t help but smile. She didn’t expect Mu Bai to actually have high-quality plants for sale.

She looked at the message from Mu Bai.

Mu Bai: “Ms. Han, do you need these two plants? If you do, let’s discuss the price, and I can sell them to you.”

Han Mengyun looked at Mu Bai’s message and couldn’t help but smile. She didn’t expect this young man to still be as reserved as yesterday.

Actually, Han Mengyun wasn’t an open person. She teased Mu Bai yesterday because she saw how reserved he was. So she just wanted to play with him a bit.

But she didn’t expect that even during their second conversation, this young man would still be so reserved. Nowadays, aren’t young men supposed to be open? Aren’t they supposed to boldly approach any pretty girl they see?

“Ah, it seems like I’m getting old and having a generation gap with young men,” Han Mengyun sighed and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

But she didn’t have time to idle around. She sent Mu Bai a fair purchase price.

…

In the dim basement, Mu Bai was boiling water with an electric kettle, preparing instant noodles for lunch.

“Ding dong.” A notification sound from WeChat rang.

Mu Bai picked up his phone and found a reply from Han Mengyun.

“Hmm? Fifty thousand yuan for both?” Mu Bai was a little surprised. It seemed that high-quality plants were indeed quite expensive, and this time it exceeded his expected price.

Seeing that Han Mengyun was interested in purchasing, and the price was acceptable, Mu Bai replied, “Alright, thank you, Ms. Han. I’ll send them to you via courier this time. When you receive them, you can transfer the money to me directly via WeChat.”

Mu Bai was very familiar with the functions of his phone and naturally knew that WeChat had an online transfer function, with a daily limit of fifty thousand yuan, which was just enough.

“Okay, please send me your address. But don’t call me Ms. Han or anything like that. Let’s go with ‘sister’ from now on,” Han Mengyun replied.

“Got it, Sister Mengyun.”

Mu Bai wasn’t the kind of person to be coy. He was just not used to interacting with high-level people like Han Mengyun, which made him seem a bit reserved.

After exchanging a few casual words, Han Mengyun directly transferred the fifty thousand yuan in installments. This further acceptance by Han Mengyun made Mu Bai feel more comfortable.

This was the first time someone could trust him enough to advance him tens of thousands of yuan. It should be noted that the previous Mu Bai, when he arrived in NJ City, everyone thought he was poor and lacking ambition. When he first started working at the massage parlor, the boss was afraid that this poor boy would steal something and run away at night, so he withheld Mu Bai’s three months’ salary at the beginning.

Everyone was wary of him!

But Mu Bai knew from an early age the truth: One can be poor, but one must not lose their integrity and dignity!

For the sake of money, how could Mu Bai lose his integrity?

So after receiving the money from Han Mengyun, Mu Bai quickly packaged the cactus and orchid in empty paper boxes from inside the house. Then he went out of the basement, found a nearby reputable courier company, and handed over the two packaged plants to them.

“Ten yuan for same-city delivery.”

The courier was very professional, took out a delivery slip, and asked Mu Bai to fill in the address. After filling it out, he handed it to Mu Bai for confirmation.

“Okay, thank you.” Mu Bai took the delivery slip and paid the money before leaving.

After completing these tasks, Mu Bai returned to the basement and found that the water was already boiling. So he took out a packet of instant noodles and, as usual, prepared lunch with them.

After finishing the noodles, Mu Bai remembered that he hadn’t checked in on the host page today. So, with a thought in his mind, the host page appeared before him.

Host: Mu Bai.

Magical space level: Level 1, with two planting and breeding slots, and time flow rate ten times faster than the outside world.

Network currency: 30 points.

【Host’s Daily Routine】

Daily check-in: Today’s check-in was missed. Checking in today can earn you 15 network copper coins. The more consecutive check-ins, the more network currency you’ll receive. Once interrupted, you’ll start over.

Mu Bai clicked on the check-in button.

“Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in and receiving 15 network copper coins. Checking in tomorrow will earn you 20 network copper coins. Current balance: 57 network copper coins.”

Seeing that he still had 57 network copper coins left, Mu Bai thought about planting something else in space.
