Chapter 182: Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Is Everyone Just Working for Olivia?

“OMG, this is too funny! Olivia is an absolute mastermind!”

Finished “I was wondering why Olivia was so generous today, offering two great dishes for just one gold bar. Turns out, she was setting them up!”

“My stomach hurts from laughing so much!”

“She’s the ultimate cunning merchant!”

“As unfair as it is, this is gold for entertainment. Olivia nailed it!”

The audience burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Shawn, Joycelyn, and Louis stared at Olivia in shock, completely baffled by her tactics.

“Wait... You’re allowed to change the price?”

Olivia smiled, looking completely honest. “Did I ever say the price was fixed?”

The three were at a loss.

O The others who had been disappointed earlier about missing out on Olivia’s meal suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Compressed biscuits didn’t seem so bad after all.

Hudson, who had avoided the ordeal simply because he couldn’t afford it, couldn’t help but chuckle.

“So, what can I get for you? Bottled water or milk?” Olivia asked with a bright smile.

Joycelyn glared at the cunning merchant, wishing she could strangle her.

But the burning spice and the intense saltiness had left her unable to speak.

“Of course,” Olivia added with a smile, “you could always grab some water from the creek and boil it yourself.”

The three nearly cried. The creek water was too far to be of any use!

“I’ll take a bottle of water,” Louis finally said, unable to hold out any longer. He had no choice but to pay 1. up.

“Here you go,” Olivia said with a sunny grin, handing him a bottle.

Louis drank it all in one go.

Shawn and Joycelyn stared helplessly.

Shawn, who had just lost a third of his gold bars, and Joycelyn, who had struggled all day, felt utterly drained.

Olivia wasn’t just after their gold bars.

She was draining their very souls!

But the spice was unbearable, and the soup was unbearably salty.

Finished “I’ll take water too,” Shawn said, reluctantly parting with more gold, feeling like he was being robbed.

Joycelyn, with no better choice, asked for milk.

In just one meal, Olivia made a fortune.

The walkie–talkie buzzed with an update on the gold bar counts.

“Louis holds 30 gold bars, Olivia follows with 29, Joycelyn has 17, Shawn has 9, and Hudson trails with just 1 gold bar.”

In just two days, Olivia had climbed from zero to second place, trailing Louis by only a single gold bar.

At that moment, Joycelyn and the others, drained from their day’s struggles, finally grasped the meaning of...

Working tirelessly only to benefit someone else.

Olivia’s cleverness was truly on another level!

In the livestream comments...

“Wait, how did Olivia end up in second place? What exactly did she do?”

“She made some steam pots, cooked a few fish, and somehow took second place with ease.”

“Poor Joycelyn, she spent the entire day trekking through the mountains to earn those gold bars, only to lose them in seconds.”

“Does anyone else feel like Olivia has everyone working for her?”

“Exactly, you’ve got it figured out!”

“Would you like more food?” Olivia asked the group with a smile.

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

“No, no, I’m stuffed!” Shawn blurted as he quickly stood up, worried Olivia might try another scheme, Joycelyn and Louis didn’t hesitate; they turned and ran straight away.

They had to stay away from Olivia! Eat more? Absolutely not! Staying any longer would mean losing everything!

Even Hudson returned to camp, leaving Olivia alone.

After tidying up, Olivia whipped up another pot of Steam Pots for herself.

She savored the fresh fish while glancing at the gold bars she’d just earned. With a satisfied grin, she said to herself, “Ah, delicious.”
