Chapter 221: Big Cities Are Great, They Have Everything (4)
She had bought three ponds, assembled into three sets with this method; two sets were fitted with a scanning code payment timer switch, ten yuan for half an hour, intended for public daily washing use outside the laundry shop, which should be enough for brushing teeth and washing faces.
The other one wasn’t set up this way; it was simply connected to a large drum, intended for use with the health clinic, in case there was again a large number of treatments, to provide a convenient means for people to wash their hands and everything else at any time.
This kind of domestic wastewater was also easy to discharge. The small towns behind the Five Bridges Secret Realm generally all had waste outlets for motorhomes, and Ye Nai planned to go there when the time came.
This opened her eyes to something new. East Ridge Secret Realm had never seen a team with motorhomes, and she had never noticed if these small towns had these kinds of waste outlets.
The manufacturer also gave her a niche idea since she had so many wastewater tanks and it took a long time to empty them, occupying the road-side waste outlet for too long could inconvenience others, so it’s better to go directly to the sewage treatment plant. Spending a little money was fine, no need to feel embarrassed. Many Space Awakened did this; the plant made some money, and after the work, they would also clean her wastewater tanks to prevent scale buildup affecting their lifespan.
After settling all the remaining payments, the manufacturer also provided some discounts. Ye Nai collected the items into her space, and drove Little Lemon back to the hotel in the city.
After a relaxing bath, Ye Nai, lying on the bed and browsing her phone, was fortunate to find that an economical hotel two streets away from the Secret Realm had just freed up two rooms. She quickly snagged them, rested for the night, and checked out early in the morning to head for the new hotel.
Renting a place was no longer considered; she had just arrived and hadn’t decided whether to settle here long-term, so she could only live in hotels for now.
There were quite a few economical hotels and guesthouses near the Secret Realm, but they were always fully booked, and getting a room required luck. The lucky room Ye Nai got was obtained this way.
Moreover, there was a large designated area for motorhome enthusiasts, complete with water and electricity, but this campsite was also always full.
Essentially, there were no vacant spots around the Five Bridges Secret Realm.
On her way to the new hotel, Ye Nai made a detour to the motorhome campsite and, inspired by the diverse array of motorhomes, thought of an idea.
Why not get one?
Driving around the East Ridge Secret Realm casually and enjoying the scenery along the way sounded great.
Having no knowledge about motorhomes, Ye Nai treated her walk around the camp like a tour and left satisfied.
She thought about how she already had an outdoor single portable toilet and a single shower room; pairing these with a motorhome would be perfect since there was no need to install a bathroom in the vehicle, just a kitchen would suffice.
After checking into the hotel, Ye Nai paid in advance for a month’s worth of room fees to avoid losing her room in case she couldn’t pay the fees while spending days inside the Secret Realm.
After several days of navigating markets and haggling with different merchants, she was tired. As soon as she entered her guest room, she went straight to sleep, woke up at midnight, went out to eat a nighttime snack, returned to her room, locked the door, and then entered the East Ridge Secret Realm.
It was broad daylight inside the Secret Realm; Ye Nai immediately headed to the first farmland she had previously scoped out.
The area was near a river, with flat terrain and slow-moving water, convenient for irrigation and seemingly prime land.
The ground was covered with some shrubs and scattered trees; Ye Nai pulled out the Land Clearing Machine and pushed forward with a rumbling noise.
The machine’s mouth could smash all the shrubs and trees and spray the debris back onto the ground, which helped increase soil fertility.
Ye Nai operated the machine for about two to three hours and felt a bit tired; the midnight snack she had eaten was fully digested, so she stopped working and went back to the hotel to sleep.
The extent of the cleared land didn’t reach ten acres, but she didn’t mind; the entire Secret Realm was hers, a little more or less didn’t matter, it didn’t need to be that precise.
After waking up, Ye Nai stayed in her hotel room, not going out. She ordered food and drink deliveries and browsed online shopping websites on her computer seeking inspiration, pondering what else she could add to her mobile business.
After a few hours, he really discovered a new business opportunity.
Vending machines.
In the Secret Realm, bathing and laundering are necessities of life, and tobacco, alcohol, sugar, and tea are indispensable hard currencies.
Ye Nai thought about the hundred-square-meter laundromat, which, even after installing ten washing machines, benches, and folding tables, still had plenty of room. It seemed perfect to place a few vending machines on both sides of the main entrance, and they could be easily powered by nuclear batteries.
This type of business offers franchising models, but Ye Nai didn’t need that. She familiarized herself with different brands and prices of vending machines, then went out to market for two days and bought ten coil machines. Then she began to stock up, purchasing tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, and small snacks that could fit in the machines, sourcing a variety of popular brands.
Sugar, tea, and small snacks were relatively easy to procure, but tobacco and alcohol were a bit more troublesome. Ye Nai resorted to a very simple method. She waited outside a tobacco and liquor store near a hotel, standing by as delivery drivers arrived to drop off goods and watched as they settled accounts with the shopkeeper before leaving.
As one driver was about to get into his vehicle, Ye Nai quickly walked over. She placed her left hand on his shoulder, giving him a start, and at the same time extended a red note in her right hand before his eyes. Continue your journey with NovelBin.Côm
"Excuse me, what’s this all about? If there’s something you need, just speak," the driver said.
The delivery driver swallowed nervously, unsure whether to focus on the firm hand on his shoulder or the note in front of him.
Ye Nai glanced at his chest, saw a pocket, and with a flick of her fingers, she stuffed the red note inside.
"Don’t be scared. I don’t bite, just need to ask something."
"Sure, go ahead."
"What did you just deliver? Tobacco or alcohol?"
"Alcohol, it was alcohol."
"Distributor?"
"Yes, we are the main distributor for Five Bridges City, covering several nearby cities as well."
"Give me the address, I want to have a look."
"Alright, alright."
After the delivery driver gave her the address, Ye Nai checked the location, let him leave, and then rode off on her electric scooter.
When Jiu Dai saw her, he assumed she was a new shop owner and directly asked her where her shop was located. He said he could supply goods but not if it provoked malicious competition with nearby shops.
When Jiu Dai found out that Ye Nai was intending to make bulk purchases for her team, he was initially skeptical. Ye Nai had been dressing casually in shorts and long sleeve shirts, with a light green crossbody bag, looking young and innocent with clear eyes, showing no signs of the aggressiveness typical of an Awakener.
Not until a rusty iron pipe suddenly appeared in Ye Nai’s hand did Jiu Dai become enthusiastically cooperative, leading her to the back to show off the samples on display, all of which were in stock.
Everyone knows that teams always have tobacco and alcohol on hand. Anyone in this business would want to secure stable team customers like this one who came knocking on their own door. Of course, they couldn’t let her slip away.
Ye Nai selected according to the dimensions of the vending machine shelves, buying canned beer and small bottles of white liquor by the case from popular local brands, enough to fill at least a 6.8-meter truck.
This quantity was a bit beyond what a team would usually purchase.
