Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Glass Bottle Shop Opens



With the situation settled, Lin Fan returned home with Lilian and Chris.

Since Lin Fan and Lilian had a telepathic connection, she immediately sensed his anger and had rushed to the fishing village, abandoning the shop.

This led to a large crowd gathering outside his store, making it nearly impossible to move through.

"Where is Lin Fan? Where's Lilian? Are they even still doing business?"

"I waited in line for so long, and just when it was almost my turn, Lilian disappeared!"

"I need my stone sword for tonight! Don't tell me they've closed up shop?"

The crowd grumbled and complained for a while until someone with sharp eyes spotted Lin Fan and Lilian returning.

"Hey, isn't that them over there? Looks like they're back!"

"They're back! Finally!"

"I've been waiting forever! Do they still have stock left? Please tell me they're not sold out!"

Seeing how anxious everyone was, Lilian sighed helplessly before slipping in through the side entrance.

Right now, business was booming—she couldn't afford to leave the store unattended for even a moment.

Watching Lilian instinctively rush back to work, Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

She wasn't particularly fond of this kind of work, but with their current lack of manpower, she had no choice but to endure it for now.

Of course, Lin Fan didn't intend to make her suffer for long. Once his glass bottle shop was up and running, he planned to buy a few more slaves to manage the stores so that Lilian could finally be freed from these trivial tasks.

After all, she was someone he treasured—he didn't want her to overwork herself.

Moreover, with Lilian's abilities, she was capable of far greater things. There was no reason for her to be stuck doing such menial work.

Lin Fan then took Chris to the river for a bath. Due to her long-term lack of hygiene, she was so dirty that she could scrub off layers of grime from her skin.

After bathing, Lin Fan realized that Chris wasn't actually that dark—her skin only looked that way because of all the dirt.

In reality, her complexion was just slightly darker than average, but it was evenly toned and not as unattractive as he had originally assumed.

In fact, she had the exotic beauty of a foreign maiden.

"Such a pretty girl—why would you feel inferior?" Lin Fan teased casually before leading her back to their room.

He didn't notice that after hearing his words, Chris's entire face turned red, her eyes shining with an unfamiliar light.

Throughout her life, she had rarely received any form of recognition or appreciation. But today, Lin Fan had given her both—a sense of acknowledgment and security.

For the first time, she felt that the world could be a beautiful place, all because of one person.

Chris obediently followed behind Lin Fan, but he remained unaware of the storm of emotions raging within her.

To him, he had only done what any decent person would.

Back at the workshop, Lin Fan crafted a set of stone tools for Chris—a stone sword, a stone pickaxe, and a stone axe.

Since he couldn't watch over her every second, she needed to learn how to live independently and contribute as well.

After all, Lin Fan had bought her to help solve problems, not to become another burden.

After explaining how to use the tools, he also handed her three glass bottles for storing drinking water.

As for food, that was a problem he couldn't solve at the moment.

All of their food had already been given to Lilian, which meant that for now, both he and Chris would have to survive on rotten meat.

The crops in the fields had yet to mature—it would take at least until the next harvest to provide enough food for three people.

Even then, feeding just two or three people was far from sufficient. Once the glass bottle shop was up and running, Lin Fan planned to expand his workforce continuously.

At that point, he would need to hire even more people, and food would inevitably become his biggest challenge.

But for now, this wasn't something he needed to worry about.

After settling everything for Chris, Lin Fan left her in Lilian's care.

Over the course of the next day, Lilian would teach Chris everything she needed to know. By tomorrow, Chris would take full responsibility for managing the store.

With everything arranged, Lin Fan opened the forum to check on the latest posts.

Some of them were about his previous direct response to the research division.

Thanks to his stunt—which was more humiliating than harmful—the research division was now in the eye of the storm.

The rest of the posts were about his newly opened shop.

Since he had displayed glass bottles in the showcase, most people were speculating that he had found a solution to the thirst issue.

"@Lin Fan, when is your new shop opening?"

"@Lin Fan, what exactly is your shop selling? Curious. Waiting online for an answer."

"I mean, the moment I saw the display case, there was no suspense—it's obviously selling water."

"Agreed. We were just talking about the thirst problem a few days ago. Now this shop is here—it's definitely Lin Fan solving the thirst issue for us."

"Y'all are hyping him up way too much. At this rate, Lin Fan is practically omnipotent in your eyes. Solving thirst? Come on. You guys are overthinking it."

"Seriously, none of us have even seen this thing in action. Why are you so sure?"

"I swear, if this thing actually solves the thirst problem, I'll livestream myself eating shit."

"Remember this guy's ID. Make sure he doesn't run."

Seeing all the comments on the thread, Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

He created a new post announcing that the glass bottle shop would officially open the next day.

He also included detailed information about the glass bottle's purpose, including how much thirst a single bottle of water could restore.

After double-checking the post, he hit send.

Since many people had been following Lin Fan, his post triggered immediate notifications.

The moment it went live, it shot straight to the forum's trending page.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! HOLY SHIT! What did I say?! Didn't I say this would solve the thirst issue?!"

"Damn, glass bottles for carrying water? Lin Fan is basically our savior at this point!"

"Where are all the people who were trash-talking Lin Fan earlier? Keep talking. Just make sure you don't go to his store to buy anything."

"The thirst issue JUST became a problem, and Lin Fan already came up with a solution? There are no words to describe this man. Absolute legend."

"Forget everything else—can we talk about the dude who said he'd livestream eating shit? Where you at, bro?"

"Yeah, I've been waiting for that guy to show up too."

"Don't worry, he's not getting away. I memorized his ID and already sent him a friend request."

"JUSTICE PREVAILS!"

The news brought joy to most people—after all, they had been struggling with the drinking water issue for a long time.

But with the excitement came another issue—Lin Fan's glass bottles were priced at 500 gold coins each.
