The number of distress points that could be provided by thousands of people was enormous. Previously, Lu Shu felt that this system was unreliable, only to realize that the stinky tofu was godsent…

Stinky tofu was rather mysterious. Some people avoid it at all costs, while some people love eating it to the extent that they’ll get excited just by smelling it.

So not everyone would be distressed by stinky tofu, so Lu Shu still had some business.

One middle-aged man’s eyes lit up upon walking past and smelling the stinky tofu. He turned around and looked at Lu Shu, “How much does one cost?”

“5 dollars,” Lu Shu knew that business was here.

“Let me try one,” the middle-aged man passed 5 dollars to Lu Shu. Lu Shu felt a tinge of joy thinking about the possible future income from this.

The middle-aged man put a piece of black, stinky tofu into his mouth and licked his lips, “Delicious, what an authentic taste!”

Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t eat stinky tofu, so he didn’t have much confidence in this business. Now that someone enjoyed it, it showed that it was a plausible business idea.

Business was like that, it was tough to merely rely on one idea.

Some people say instead of doing widespread business, one should open a restaurant.

But restaurants don’t earn money easily! Renovation, wages of waiters and chefs, what didn’t need money?

It would cost thousands of dollars every day, and many people wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.

Just like how many people actually had some business ideas which were quite innovative and refreshing. But once they actually do it, it’ll become a mess.

Lu Shu was afraid he belonged to this category. His advantage, however, was that his business didn’t require any money or cost. There was no need to buy ingredients or pay anyone wages. Even if this business didn’t succeed, there wasn’t much for him to lose – only some of his time.

After the middle-aged man left, Lu Shu gained some confidence and started hollering, “5 dollars for 1 stinky tofu. You’ll regret not buying 1 for 5 dollars…”

Just when he finished speaking, his distress point income increased suddenly.

Those people who couldn’t tolerate stinky tofus were utterly annoyed. Can’t you sell your stinky tofu discreetly? Don’t shout!

When Lu Shu had gathered 7000 distress points, his stinky tofu gradually grew more popular. Once he reached 8100, he had finished selling all of his tofu!

Lu Shu suddenly thought deeply and hesitated…

He had a high amount of distress points today because no one came to try his stinky tofu for almost half a day. Only at the end did he manage to slowly sell them.

When returning customers come next time, he would finish selling his tofu quickly. He would earn money much quicker, but his inflow of distress points would be much less.

He realized that the stinky tofu given by the system was too delicious, and it was also a problem…

Lu Shu packed up his stall and headed home. The opening day was good, and since money was earned today, he’ll leave the future problems for another day.

As for the distress points, Lu Shu decided that he should think about it and explore the system. He’ll decide later at night.

On the way to school, Lu Shu used his phone to look at forums for any new happenings. He also looked at what the other metahumans were discussing on the chat groups.
