Shaking all sorts of items inside his dimension pouch, Innkeeper Zhu politely bid the associate dean farewell. He didn’t want any unexpected incidents.
Liu Tianshan and the others did not forget to collect the lunch boxes to bring with them. He believed that what just happened would be a common occurrence in the future.
After they have depart, everybody was full. The ones who only had 1 lunch box wish they’ve had more. The ones that had 2 patted their belly in a satisfying manner. The meal was expensive, but it was certainly delicious.
Mu Qingtong seemed to be in much better mood after he ate. Smacking his lips, he said, “How come there’s only food but no water? A bottle of mystical water would be perfect right about now!”
His words brought about a lot of agreement from the crowd. It’d be perfect if they could have some mystical water!
“You want water? I got some here!”
An irritating voice came from the woods. It was then when they realized there was someone else in the woods.
Especially the associate dean, his eyes widened and watched Cheng Xiao Xiao descended from the tree in surprise. He had no idea since when has she arrived in the woods.
At that moment, the associate dean realized he had underestimated the little brat.
“Well, old man, you want some water?” Cheng Xiao Xiao lifted her brows slightly and asked under his peculiar look.
“Yes, of course. You are going to charge one mystical stone for one bottle of water?” asked the associate dean calmly.
“You are smart, old man!” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and continued, “But you are wrong. This time it isn’t one stone for one bottle of water, it’s two!”
“Why don’t you go rob!”
A chubby guy shouted out. Hearing that, Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him from the corner of his eyes and smiled, “I do want to, but I still need targets that I can rob from. In any case, I didn’t rob you. If you want water, you will have to buy them. If you don’t, I won’t force you either!”
“Hrm, hrm. Who said I don’t want any. So what if it costs 2 mystical stones? I can afford it!” The chubby guy disgruntledly fished out 2 mystical stones and tossed them over.
Cheng Xiao Xiao reached out and caught the money before tossing him the water bottle, “Don’t throw away the water bottle when you are done. Otherwise you will have to provide your won water bottle next time.”
“Fine! Whatever!” The chubby guy hurriedly twisted open the bottle and started gulping down the water. Over half of the water in the bottle was gone in no time.
After he had enough, he rubbed his mouth and smiled, “Boy, was that satisfying!”
Looking at the way he drank made others want to buy water but they still felt that it was too expensive. All she did was to draw the water from a well and she wanted to sell it to them for 2 stones? That was way too expensive.
That being said, human needs water, especially right after a meal. Everybody wanted to have some water, but didn’t want to pay for them. All the students turned and looked at the associate dean and hooped he would stand up for them and have the water distributed to them instead of sold to them.
But they were doomed to be disappointed, even the associate dean had reached into his pouch and produced two mystical stones for water.
Helplessness, unreconciled, unjust, anger were some of the emotions felt by the crowd, yet they produced their own goods to trade for mystical water nonetheless.
Not too long, everybody had bought a bottle of water. They drank the water satisfyingly; Cheng Xiao Xiao collected her payment satisfyingly. These type of trade was more satisfying than robbing someone; even though Cheng Xiao Xiao had never robbed anyone, but she felt that this topped robbing.
All but one person bought water from her. Nobody knew whether it was intentional on Cheng Xiao Xiao’s part, or that he didn’t want to buy it from her. That one person was Gu Junxian.
