Bai Lin’s Loss

The three birds were still brought back by Lin Shu.

Bai Lin did not want them and they were in urgent need of the birds, so Lin Shu had made another deal with her. It was only natural for him to accept the birds.

Bai Shao was not surprised to see the three of them return with strange expressions.

Bai Lin was simply too evil.

Lin Shu threw the birds into the center of the group and coughed awkwardly just like Bai Shao previously.

"Everyone, I've made a deal with Bai Lin."

[Hahaha, I was watching this part during my lunch break and I laughed so hard that my colleague asked if I needed an ambulance.]

[This scene happened half an hour ago too. Right, Bai Shao?]

[Everyone's so shocked, except for Bai Shao. Hahahaha!]

Fan Feng and Lin Sen found a place to sit down. Fan Zhi grabbed his son's hand and said in disbelief, "What happened? She actually managed to convince Lin Shu?"

Fan Feng covered his face and said in embarrassment, "Forced by circumstances of life, can't do much because of tyranny."

Bai Shao sat next to Fan Feng and moved closer to him. "Bai Lin must've used sorcery to control Uncle Lin."

"That's not it."

Bai Xi's line of sight had always been on Bai Lin's group. Seeing her being surrounded by Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang—a treatment she did not even dare to dream of yet Bai Lin had easily obtained without even needing to open her mouth, the fire in her heart almost burned her to death.

When she saw Yan Ruo affectionately and naturally feeding Bai Lin the fish, she suddenly clenched Zhao Yuan's hand.

What right did Bai Lin have?

It was just a coincidence that she had a chance. If Bai Xi herself had such an opportunity, she would definitely do better than Bai Lin!

Zhao Yuan was in pain from being grabbed. She cried out and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Xixi?"

Bai Xi's face was a little pale, and her smile was forced. "Nothing. I think a mosquito bit me."

After a pause, she changed the topic.

"What's the deal between Uncle Lin and jiejie?" she asked.

Lin Shu sat down next to Lin Sen. He had just eaten a piece of hardtack and was frowning from choking. He held the biscuit in his hand and explained the deal to everyone.

Fan Zhi thought for a few seconds and then smiled. "I don't think Bai Lin is that good! It's a steal for us to make this deal with her."

"Yes, bamboos don't worth much according to the production team," Jin Hang said.

Fan Zhi shook his head. "That's just the surface. What I mean is, Bai Lin has suffered a great loss."

"Why do you say that?"

Fan Zhi enjoyed this feeling very much. When everyone's eyes were on him, he slowly said, "This is a very simple math question. 200 bamboos and some banana leaves can build a bamboo house. That's 80 points."

"We chopped a total of 50 bamboos in the morning. If all the men were to go and chop the bamboos, we could get at least 170 to 188 bamboos with higher efficiency."

"It'll be 90 points if we exchange them with Bai Lin."

Bai Shao was a little impatient. He did not know what Fan Feng's calculations had to do with Bai Lin's loss, so he asked directly, "Uncle Fan, just tell us how much is Bai Lin losing?"

Fan Zhi smiled confidently. "I won't go into the extra steps. In short, the more bamboos we cut and the more banana leaves we collect, the bigger the loss Bai Lin will suffer! If we persist for three days or so, she might even owe us points!"

Lin Sen also roughly understood Fan Zhi's meaning.

The points Bai Lin used to purchase bamboos and banana leaves were far greater than the points required to build a bamboo house using both materials.

Bai Lin would have to spend at least 120 points to buy the bamboos and banana leaves, but the wooden house only costed 80 points.

It was no wonder Fan Zhi said that Bai Lin was making an increasing loss.

"But," Lin Sen asked, puzzled, "How can Bai Lin not have calculated such a simple calculation?"

After hearing Fan Zhi's analysis, Bai Shao was immediately filled with enthusiasm. The dark cloud named "Bai Lin" that loomed over his head seemed to have dissipated. He said confidently, "People are always muddled at times. From Uncle Lin's words, this should be an idea she came up with on the spot, so it's not surprising that there are some mistakes.

"Besides, even if Bai Lin uses these things to make raincoats or something else, the points she earns won't be enough to pay us."

Jin Hang's wife, Lu Zhi, snorted contemptuously and said, "She's still a child after all. She can't think straight when something happens at the last minute. It's also a good thing like that. This is how we have the chance to get so many points."
