Chapter 499: Chapter 225: The Arrival of the Storm and Business Opportunities! (5600)_3

Then, Cao Xing turned around, looking at Liu Muxue.

He noticed the beautiful woman in front of him had half of her hair wet, her head lowered, too shy to meet his eyes.

She was like a lotus emerging from the water, captivating and inviting admiration at a glance.

And Cao Xing could not only admire but also pluck…

“Muxue, let’s go upstairs and rest.”

Liu Muxue’s cheeks turned slightly red; she knew what was about to happen next.

With a mix of shyness and anticipation in her heart,

She responded softly, “Mm… I’ll listen to you…”

…

Inside the warm little hut,

The woman’s rapid breathing could be heard continuously.

“Axing… Axing…”

“Mm…”

At this moment, outside, the snow was whirling in the wind.

While inside the room was filled with the sweetness of their passions.

After a brief moment of calm, the beauty suddenly closed her eyes.

Then, like a swan stretching its neck, she lifted her head.

After a long and ethereal coquettish sound, Liu Muxue collapsed directly into Cao Xing’s embrace.

With a dreamy voice, she said softly and weakly, “Axing… you seem to be getting more and more impressive…”

Her tone was filled with unconcealed affection.

Cao Xing gently stroked her beautiful hair and then said, “You’re tired, Muxue; take a good rest.”

At this moment, the beauty’s face was rosy, and she was completely compliant with Cao Xing.

“Mm…”

After saying that, she peacefully fell asleep in his arms.

Cao Xing, however, gazed at the snowstorm howling outside the window and didn’t fall asleep immediately.

Instead, he was contemplating his plans for the future.

…

Night fell…

Just as the weather forecast had said, the nighttime temperature dropped to -79℃!

This was the most brutal day since all survivors had entered this world, comparable to the first day they arrived.

Even though most people had already built houses and improved their constitution,

This kind of low temperature was still unbearable.

The chat channel was filled with wailing.

Zhou Yifeng: “Cold! Damn, it’s so damn cold! The wind is too strong; the stove in the room seems useless!”

Shen Ying: “Yeah, I even burned wood directly in my room, and it’s still freezing.”

Shen Shigan: “Brothers, I’ll teach you a way, gather all the subjects together, stay in one room and huddle for warmth, this way the temperature will rise a lot; at this time, let’s not be so picky, saving our lives is the top priority!”

Yue Yi: “Can someone give me a few quilts, or a few cotton clothes will do, I offer 600 Ice Dragon Marks to buy one cotton clothes, 1000 Ice Dragon Marks to buy one quilt, I’m damn near freezing to death!”

“And me too, I also want to buy a few quilts!”

“The few people above, don’t even think about it, who would sell such warm clothing? Besides, in this snowy weather, it’s hard even to get out of the Lord’s Hut to auction things!”

It must be said that this person made a very valid point.

Warm clothing always fetched a high price, even under normal circumstances.

Selling a piece of cotton clothes for 50 Ice Dragon Marks or a quilt for 100 Ice Dragon Marks was reasonable.

It might not seem like much, but it should be known that even 100g of Purple Beast Meat could only sell for about 100 Ice Dragon Marks.

These cotton clothes and quilts were just ordinary white quality items, already being sold at such an unreasonable price!

And in this snowy weather, the price of these warm clothes had been inflated to more than 10 times.

This made many survivors want to cash in at this opportunity.

However, they themselves didn’t have enough warm clothes, so how could they have any extra to auction?

Looking at the chat channel, Cao Xing was deep in thought.

He glanced at his own backpack.

His stock of various cotton clothes and furs was quite large.

The last time he scavenged, he had found over 300 cotton clothes in that village. When he killed those hunters, he occasionally stripped cotton clothes from them.

Plus, the batch of rabbit furs processed by Xia Yanni,

He had a total of 672 cotton clothes.

Moreover, he had seven cloud yak clothes that could store heat, considered a treasure in this world environment.

Obviously, this was an extremely astonishing wealth!

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, “Because of the stormy weather, the price of these warm clothes has been driven to an extremely high level, surpassing even Purple Quality Beast Meat.”

“The cloud yak clothes in my hands definitely can’t be sold, but… those ordinary cotton clothes, I can sell about 500 sets, leaving the rest for my own reserve.”

“Even if sold at 600 Ice Dragon Marks per set, there would probably be many buyers.”

“Which means, if these cotton clothes could all be sold, I could at least earn 300,000 Ice Dragon Marks!”

Cao Xing was instantly shocked, startled by the number he had calculated!

“Wow, this is truly terrifying; I could even exchange for three Golden Treasure Boxes!”

Although these 500 sets of cotton clothes sounded like a lot,

In comparison with one Golden Treasure Box, they were nothing.

After all, these were just basic supplies and, converted to Crowns, would only fetch dozens of Crowns each at most.

However, most survivors didn’t have Cao Xing’s opportunity and strength,

So this gave him a chance to make a fortune!

“Alright, I must take this opportunity to sell the cotton clothes I have!”

Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked at the sleeping Liu Muxue and gently withdrew his arm.

He then dressed himself again.

At this moment, Cao Xing pushed open the door of the Lord’s Hut.

Instantly, a terrifying cold wind rushed in, mixed with whirling snow in the sky.

“Whew—”

Cao Xing noticed that even within his territory, a thick layer of snow had accumulated.

All he saw was white.

There was nothing he could do; the heat radiated by the [Level 15 Stove] was powerful, but the snowfall of the storm was beyond imagination.

As those people said in the chat channel,

In this weather, walking from the [Lord’s Hut] to the [Market] was a challenging task.

Cao Xing shook his head.

“However, for the sake of earning money, it’s not a big deal.”

Thus, he wrapped himself tightly in a cloud yak coat and swiftly walked to the side of the [Market].

He opened the interface, and an abundance of trading information appeared.

Cao Xing directly clicked on the [Auction] function.

Setting the price and auction quantity, he directly clicked confirm.

In the next moment, a piece of auction information appeared on the market.

[Auction Items: Linen Cotton Clothes]

[Stock: 500]

[Demand: 600 Ice Dragon Marks per set, or if you have special items, you can chat with me privately]

[Auction Person: Cao Xing]

[Seller Note: Survivors of District 174 have priority for trading, no trading with people from Wangjiang Pavilion.]

…

Since most survivors were huddled in the Lord’s Hut, avoiding the howling snowstorm outside, almost no one paid attention to the market.

Thus, Cao Xing mentioned in the chat channel, “Everyone, I’ve put a batch of cotton clothes on the shelves, those who need them can take a look at the market.”

The lively chatting channel, deep into the night, fell silent for a moment.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Cao Xing had spoken in the chat channel since the area merge.

The survivors exclaimed, “Whoa! Expert Cao Xing! The living legend Cao Xing!”

“Haha, finally hearing Expert Cao Xing speak, his skills are deep and unfathomable, and he never speaks in the chat channel; we thought you were a native of this world.”

“Yeah, yeah, now it seems Expert Cao Xing is also a Blue Star survivor like us.”

“Brothers, did you all see it? The expert said he put a batch of cotton clothes on the shelves, go get it if you need it!”

Upon hearing this reminder, the other survivors realized something.

In this late night, a large group of people braved the frenzied snowstorm and rushed out of the Lord’s Hut.

Then directly opened the market.

“My gosh, there are actually 500 cotton clothes, just as you would expect from Expert Cao Xing, able to pull out so much of this resource at once.”

“Yeah, but the price is a bit steep, about ten times higher than usual.”
