Chapter 35: Order Placed, Awaiting Shipment
The trading market was very quiet in the morning. Few citizens came to trade mutated beasts in the morning. This time was usually when the shops uniformly packed the mutated beasts and sent them to the major material factories.
Containers were being loaded onto trucks one after another.
“Watch your step!”
Jiang Ning was almost hit by a box.
Chang Ming sent her a message telling her to go directly to the warehouse.
When Jiang Ning arrived, Chang Ming was controlling a transport robot, loading the mutated beasts from the shelves into containers and packing them.
“Your breakfast,” she walked over and handed him the things in her hand. “What’s my task for today?”
“Do you know how to use Dano statistics?” Chang Ming asked casually.
She knew statistics, but Dano statistics? What was that?
Jiang Ning honestly shook her head.
“…”
The air was silent for two seconds. Chang Ming turned his head and looked at her with a suspicious expression. “You’ve never been to school?”
He had just asked out of habit, but he didn’t expect that she really didn’t know!
The Dano statistical method was a basic counting method, a compulsory course in primary school. There shouldn’t be many people who didn’t know it.
“No,” Jiang Ning continued to shake her head.
Chang Ming stopped what he was doing and walked around Jiang Ning for a long while, concluding, “You’re illiterate?”
Jiang Ning, who had a master’s degree as her highest academic qualification in her previous life: “…”
She really couldn’t refute this.
Before she transmigrated, the little girl’s parents hadn’t sent her to school. After she transmigrated, she was so poor that she could only support herself and had no time to think about school.
So she really was illiterate.
Education level: None.
Chang Ming looked at Jiang Ning for a long time. The young master had never thought that in the current interstellar era, there would still be people who had never been to school. The complex emotions made him speechless for a moment.
Seeing that he had no further instructions, Jiang Ning took the initiative to say, “I don’t know Dano statistics, but I have another statistical method.”
Chang Ming stared at her face for several minutes. Jiang Ning always had a confident look. He hesitated for a long time and nodded at her.
“Later, we need to pack the mutated beasts by category. You’ll be responsible for recording the species and quantity of each box on the side, and finally, you’ll compile the statistics into a document and give it to me,” Chang Ming said, deliberately slowing down his speech, afraid that she wouldn’t understand.
The more Jiang Ning listened, the more she looked at Chang Ming with suspicion.
Just this? Just this?
She was illiterate, not a fool. Did this require any Dano statistics?
“Did you hear me clearly?” Chang Ming asked.
Jiang Ning squeezed out a standard smile. “Okay, boss. I guarantee I’ll complete the task.”
For the rest of the time, Chang Ming was responsible for controlling the robot to transport the mutated beasts, while Jiang Ning was responsible for counting the quantity on the side.
Jiang Ning used the built-in spreadsheet on her Star Brain to record. Every time the transport robot packed a box of mutated beasts, Jiang Ning would record it in the spreadsheet.
She also took a photo of each mutated beast and inserted it into the corresponding statistical row.
By the time the sun was high in the sky, the two of them had finally cleared out all the mutated beasts that had been collected yesterday.
“Alright, now we just have to wait for you to finish the statistics, and then we can contact them to send the truck,” Chang Ming let out a long sigh of relief.
“I’ll send it to you right away,” Jiang Ning clicked ‘save’ on her Star Brain, then clicked ‘share with friend’ in the upper right corner.
Chang Ming: “?”
He was about to exclaim at her speed when he heard a message notification from his Star Brain the next second.
Chang Ming opened the file and found that the information was clear at a glance. Jiang Ning’s organization was very meticulous. He sincerely praised, “Not bad.”
“I’ll contact the airline station and have them send a large flying vehicle over,” Chang Ming said.
The logistics space station?
Jiang Ning paused and asked, “Aren’t you sending them to the factories in the lower district?”
“The lower district? How much money can you make there?” Chang Ming looked at her with a strange expression. He said, “I’ve directly contacted several large factories on the major planets and established long-term cooperative relationships with them.”
Chang Ming walked to the side and made a phone call.
Jiang Ning, on the other hand, seriously examined him.
Only then did she vaguely realize that Chang Ming’s temperament was a bit out of place on their Planet M412. She thought of the capital planet on the delivery address this morning.
Not long after Chang Ming hung up the phone, someone from the M4 Nebula Logistics Station arrived.
Extreme Wind Logistics, true to its name.
It had no other advantages but speed.
After sending off the logistics company, it wasn’t until two or three in the afternoon that customers started coming into the shop.
Many of the people had seen Jiang Ning yesterday. As soon as they came in, they consciously formed a line, waiting for Jiang Ning or Chang Ming to settle their accounts.
Jiang Ning was very satisfied with this scene.
This showed that the civic quality of the citizens of Planet M412 was gradually improving!
For the next five or six days, Jiang Ning went to Chang Ming’s shop to help every day and only returned home at eight or nine in the evening.
She was making money, but it was a bit tiring.
At twelve o’clock at night, Jiang Ning lay back on her bed and prepared to open the StarNet to check on her shop.
The moment she clicked in, countless message notifications popped up. The messages in her backend had soared to 99 plus.
What was going on now?
Jiang Ning was so shocked that she sat up from the bed, her fingers sliding across the virtual screen.
Order information.
Urging for shipment, urging for shipment, still urging for shipment?
Jiang Ning went to check the product details again.
“Hiss—”
This was incredible.
The sales of her sunflowers had gone from 1 to 100.
‘Ding dong, ding dong~’
Order information kept coming in from the backend, and the sales were still increasing.
Jiang Ning was so scared that she quickly took down the product link for the sunflowers.
Oh my god! 100 orders, she didn’t even have 100 plants in stock.
Calming down, Jiang Ning checked the reasons for the things she had ignored these past few days.
Her sunflowers had been on the shelf for a month and no one had paid any attention to them. How did they suddenly get so many orders in these few days?
Previously, people had complained that her price of 688 star coins was too expensive. Two days ago, because she had earned too little, she had directly raised the price to 999 star coins a plant, and the sales had actually increased!
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but start to contemplate life.
Jiang Ning scrolled to the very bottom, starting from the first order and comment, and checked them one by one from the bottom up.
The first customer who had placed an order from the capital planet had silently given a good review after receiving the goods. It seemed perfectly normal.
But in the following two days, the comments started to get strange.
“Can it increase psychic energy? And it’s natural? Hiss, ha, I’ll buy one to try.”
“999 star coins for a plant that can nourish psychic energy, is it real? Is the shop owner doing charity?”
“Order placed, awaiting shipment (if you’re lying, your whole family will die!)”
“Even if it only has ornamental value, 999 is worth it for this quality!”
“Has anyone’s arrived? Come out and say if this is real.”
The more Jiang Ning looked, the tighter her brow furrowed.
Her sunflowers could increase psychic energy? How did she not know?
Wait.
Jiang Ning stopped thinking. Something suddenly came to her mind.
Li Xiang’s sudden awakening of his ability and Ke Lai’s strange occurrences in her shop all seemed to have happened after she had given them sunflowers.
So that means…
The reason the sunflowers she had given away had withered was because the psychic energy inside had been absorbed by others?
Jiang Ning was speechless.
Her understanding of her ability had been refreshed once again.
But after looking for so long, she still didn’t know what had happened to her shop.
Suddenly, her hand, which was scrolling through the comments, paused. A comment caught her attention.
“Recommended by A Jin. Order placed, awaiting shipment.”
A Jin? Jiang Ning immediately thought of a person.
Jin Jiu!
A suspicion arose in Jiang Ning’s heart. How did her shop get involved with a famous commentary blogger?
Jin Jiu wasn’t doing his commentary properly and had come to promote her for free?
Just as Jiang Ning was about to search for what Jin Jiu had said on the StarNet, a message notification popped up in the backend again.
“Due to the backlog of your orders for several days without shipment, the system hereby reminds you that if you do not ship by the day after tomorrow, your personal credit score will be deducted. Once the score drops below double digits, your shop will be permanently closed.”
“?”
Damn it!
