Chapter 2 Madam, I don’t charge money (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
While Li Yian was excited about making his first pot of gold, suddenly, he froze motionless.
He was frightened - a light screen appeared out of thin air in front of him. Through the light screen that only he could see, the street view of London was clearly visible, but everything seemed to be still.
The moving double-decker bus stopped in the middle of the road. The pedestrian was as motionless as a wax statue. Even the smoke he had just exhaled was motionless and floating in the air.
A string of words appeared on the translucent light screen.
[Complete the first transaction and activate the learning skill ‘Business’. Do you want to learn it? ]
It’s actually the system?
Not frightened, but surprised. Is this the golden finger of a time traveler?
I knew that traveling through time would definitely bring benefits.
What is the skill of “doing business”?
Is there still any need to hesitate?
If you don’t learn now, you will wait until later.
“Study.”
Noting that Li Yian quickly chose to study, some simple business knowledge poured into his mind in an instant.
It is indeed a system!
At this time, a string of words flashed on the light screen.
[The first transaction is completed, selling 12 Camel cigarettes and a ZIPPO lighter. The current black market price is 4.5 pounds, a premium of 120 pence, and a reward of 2 experience points! The current experience value is 7 points. ]
There are actually rewards!
“In this transaction, we take advantage of the buyer’s eagerness to raise the price and activate the storage space. Do you want to activate it?”
There is still storage space?
Of course it needs to be activated. After activation, there will be a house-like symbol in the upper right corner of the light screen.
I tried using the backpack, and sure enough, with a white light, the heavy backpack disappeared, and a red dot appeared on the light screen at the warehouse symbol.
The shoulders are finally free,
Isn’t it wonderful?
What other functions does this system have?
However, now is not the time to study the system.
After logging out of the system, Li Yian, who was already hungry with his chest pressed to his belly, walked straight towards a nearby restaurant.
We are rich now, so we should have a steak no matter what!
......
A moment later, Li Yian, who had not eaten even a single ox hair, stood blankly on the side of the road, completely dumbfounded.
"Sir, could you please provide me with your food ration book?"
What the hell is this?
"Your mother, it's just food stamps! How can I have any food stamps!"
Looking up at the air-proof balloons floating in the sky, the smell of gunpowder smoke remaining in the air reminded him—— This is war time, and many things are completely different from normal.
Why else would those few cigarettes be sold at such high prices?
"Sister, no wonder people are willing to pay high prices to buy cigarettes. If you don't have cigarette tickets, you won't be able to buy them if you have money..."
In fact, even if you have cigarette tickets, you definitely can't buy Camel and ZIPPO. After all, Britain's foreign exchange has long been spent, and most of the Camel cigarettes and ZIPPO lighters on the market were bought by British women using their bodies to sleep with American soldiers.
Obviously, Li Yi'an, who doesn't understand the market, doesn't know at all that the current British... banknotes are no longer useful, but materials.
Li Yi'an felt the shock of the times. Although he had money, he had no choice but to continue walking along the street hungry, and even went through his backpack during the process.
Looking at the bag full of women's products, Li Yian looked worried as he casually took a bottle of perfume sample from the box.
In this world of war and chaos, who wants perfume?
At this time, a brown-haired woman came towards her. What attracted him was not the spectacular sight of fruit hanging from thin branches. It was the paper bag she was holding in front of her broad chest. Half of the bread was exposed in the paper bag. Whether the bread was delicious or not was not important to Li Yian. His eyes full of desire covered the bread. His mouth was drooling and his stomach was stretched out. When I took action, I wanted to stuff the bread directly into my stomach.
Having had no water for a whole day, he was really thirsty and hungry.
The woman wearing a red and blue floral dress felt the desire in the man's eyes, but she did not avoid it, nor did she feel shy because of it. Instead, she boldly met the man's gaze and looked up and down. he.
Although he is Asian, he is indeed young and handsome.
The longing gaze made the woman's lips slightly raise, and her pretty brows seemed to be beating gently. Their eyes watched each other move slowly.
Just like this, the two of them passed by each other. Just when they were about to miss it, Li Yian couldn't help but take a deep breath while staring at the bread. The wheat aroma of the bread carried a faint... peculiar smell.
Suddenly, Li Yian's eyes became clear, and he took the initiative to speak. "Hello, miss."
The sudden voice behind her made Stana's heart tremble subconsciously, but she immediately turned her head and responded with her sweetest smile.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Although she tried her best to stay calm, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. This wasn't the first time she'd faced a man trying to strike up a conversation, but her past experiences had been less than satisfactory. Those men, yes, most of them are bald old men, which is the tragedy of the times. Young men, most of them are in the army or in the graves.
However, this man, he is very young, his eyes and posture are full of vigor and vitality. More importantly, he had that charming smile on his face. For a moment, Stana's heart was beating like a deer.
"Miss, do you need perfume?"
What? She opened her eyes slightly, and the emotions deep in her heart surged like an overwhelming river. He, what did he mean?
He stopped himself, just for this?
"Well, I have some perfume here."
He raised the small bottle in his hand and continued,
"I think you might like it."
Stana frowned slightly, the perfume in this small sample bottle was obviously not ordinary. In this era, the supply of perfume has long since dried up. Since Prime Minister Churchill ordered a halt to all cosmetics production three years ago, perfumes have become extremely rare and expensive.
"It's a lady!"
Stana flashed the ring on her finger with some displeasure. It turned out to be a fake perfume salesman.
Li Yian, who thought it was a mistake in the title, quickly changed his words.
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
With mixed feelings in her heart, she straightened up slightly. The wedding ring between her fingers flashed a faint light in the sunset,
"No, I don't need... these fakes."
"Fake? How could it be?"
Although the man-in-law has never sold genuine goods, she doesn't think they are fake at first sight.
Li Yian picked up the perfume and sprayed it gently, and instantly the surrounding area was filled with a light floral and fruity fragrance. Stana was speechless for a moment, completely stunned by the sudden fragrance. She took a deep breath, as if she could clearly feel the fresh fruit scent and the soft scent of flowers, which could not be imitated by cheap fakes.
Smelling the unique fragrance in the air, she gently repeated "pink encounter" in her mouth, and the man's longing eyes were as passionate as the fragrance.
"This perfume smells really good, but..."
Stana bit her lip lightly, her beautiful eyes full of struggle and helplessness. She felt the unique aroma, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.
"But I only have a few pounds left..."
Stana sighed, this perfume must be very expensive, and she simply can't afford it now.
Li Yian looked at her complicated expression and felt relieved. He smiled softly and said:
"Madam, I don't charge money."
Stana was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed the desire flashing in the man's eyes. It turns out that his real purpose is this...
Man!
It’s all the same after all.
Just as Stana's thoughts were complicated, the man's voice came over again.
"Madam, can I exchange some food with you?"
