“Look, the ranking has changed again.”
People were still chatting in the regional channel.
“Drake Haski and Master Xia Feng have both got another 50 points of combat ability.”
“I’m curious. Why is Master Xia Feng’s combat ability always 10 points higher than Drake Haski’s?”
“I’m curious too, but it’s none of us the rookies’ business.”
They all talked enthusiastically.
They didn’t consider it a big deal, but when Drake Haski saw the message, his deep brown eyes flashed.
He instantly sent a private message to his good buddy Delsi.
“Delsi, is it possible for the top on the regional ranking to conceal their combat ability?”
Delsi had the highest ranking in his region.
Very soon, Delsi responded, “Yes. Why do you ask?”
“F*ck… I was tricked by that monkey Xia Feng,” Drake Haski replied furiously. He had finally understood the truth.
“What? Xia Feng is in your region?”
Delsi was quite shocked to receive the message.
“Delsi, I’m going to surpass Xia Feng, and make it to the top of the ranking.”
Drake Haski swore to humiliate Xia Feng as how he was humiliated.
“Drake, you must calm down. Xia Feng is a terrifying man. The rating of his first dungeon clearance is SS.”
“What? SS?” Drake Haski was quite shocked. Thinking how hard he fought to get an A, he lost all his competitiveness.
The gap between them was too huge.
Delsi didn’t reply to Drake Haski again. He wanted his comrade to calm down for a moment.
On the other hand, Xia Feng was busy collecting money, and paid no attention to the ranking.
He wouldn’t be notified unless someone’s combat ability really surpassed his own.
Although the toilet paper wasn’t instantly sold, he managed to sell 10 rolls as time went by.
He got two Fire Spiritual Runes, two Earth Spiritual Runes, three Wind Spiritual Runes, three Water Spiritual Runes, and 20 Wood in total.
Making another five rolls of toilet paper and putting them on sale, Xia Feng received a private message.
Lin Xiaowan: Master Xia Feng, since fate has arranged for us to come to the same region, can you give me a discount on your toilet paper?
It was well known that women needed toilet paper more badly than men did.
Xia Feng considered for a moment, and sent two messages back.
“Yes.
“I can give you a discount. Five wood and a spiritual rune of any class.”
Lin Xiaowan was very happy to see the first message.
But she was infuriated after reading the second one.
A discount of one wood? That was so petty.
“Master Xia Feng, can you lower the price a bit more? It’s not easy for a girl to live in such a place. Many things are inconvenient.”
“No!” A simple reply silenced Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan gnashed her teeth, and replied, “Master Xia Feng, I bet that you don’t have a girlfriend!”
“What’s the use of a girlfriend? She’d only slow me down. You’ve wasted a lot of my time. The discount that I promised is gone. You’d better buy it in the shop.”
After sending the message, Xia Feng closed the game menu.
Then, he released five water purifiers, and fetched 10 liters of purified water.
He put nine liters of the water on the shop at the price of one spiritual rune per 500 milliliters.
As for the remaining liter of water, Xia Feng fed 300 milliliters to Big Black and the same amount to himself.
The last 400 milliliters were exchanged for 40 Wood in the shop.
He crafted five buckets with 20 Wood and five rolls of toilet paper with the other 20 Wood before he put the paper on sale again.
Filling one of the buckets with water, Xia Feng put the five Spear Swallowing Fish in it.
During the process, one roll of toilet paper was bought, probably by Lin Xiaowan.
On an island with a coverage of 300 square meters, Lin Xiaowan clutched the toilet paper in her hands, and mumbled, “What an inconsiderate man. You’re doomed to single life forever.”
At this moment, Xia Feng was already observing the four channels that were connected to the 11th island.
[Island No.1: Underneath this island is an active volcano that’s about to erupt. It depends on your luck whether or not you can pass it.]
[Island No.2: It has two Bronze Chests and some materials. However, the bloodthirsty bats that live here won’t be easy to deal with.]
[Island No.3: This is a mysterious island where a mysterious merchant lives. After you pass the test on the island and win the merchant’s approval, you may exchange for one item from him.]
[Island No.4: There’s an Iron Chest and a group of barbarians who love feasting on human beings on this island. Try not to be eaten by them.]
After reading all the hints, Xia Feng opened the handbook and searched for the bloodthirsty bat, barbarian, and mysterious merchant.
The bloodthirsty bats were ferocious and gregarious creatures. They were very hard to deal with.
The barbarians were intelligent creatures who knew how to use tools and traps. They weren’t easy to deal with, either.
There was no information on the mysterious merchant in the handbook.
After much deliberation, Xia Feng set foot on Channel No.3 to the mysterious island with Big Black.
He had thrown the two bags of fertilizers into the pot before he left.
One bag of low-level fertilizer could shorten the Milk Fruit Tree’s growth by a day.
Very soon, a glowing membrane appeared in front of Xia Feng’s eyes again.
He crossed the membrane, and it wasn’t a familiar scene that he saw. He found himself in the middle of thick fog. He couldn’t see anything three meters away.
[System notification: You’re reached the mysterious island, which has four tests in total. After you pass each test, a channel to another island will be revealed. If you pass all the four tests, you will meet the mysterious merchant.]
I’m best at passing tests.
Xia Feng wasn’t worried at all after reading the system notification.
No traps were dangerous to him with the golden hints.
Xia Feng boldly stepped forward, but stopped very soon.
[Dangerous. Don’t go any further. The fog ahead is poisonous.]
Seeing the hint, Xia Feng turned left, and the same golden hint popped up again soon enough.
[Dangerous. Don’t go any further. The fog ahead is poisonous.]
He turned right. The result was the same.
What does this mean? I can’t go forward, left, or right. Should I go back?
Xia Feng returned to the original point, and looked back in confusion.
Behind him was thick fog too.
He tentatively walked back, only to see nothing but seawater.
Undoubtedly, it was a dead end.
None of the four directions was safe. Xia Feng was caught in deep thought.
Not anxious at all, Xia Feng took out a wooden chair and sat down on it before he considered the situation carefully.
