“In 30 days, the entire human race will face a life-and-death crisis!” The title was quite eye-catching and had the style of a former UC headline. It was a pity that it lacked the word ‘shocking.’
Chen Changan expressed his condemnation of this behavior and decided to go in and criticize it. But when he saw the content, his relaxed expression turned solemn. ‘This author is something!’
Chen Changan opened the forum’s draft function. He had always used this function as a notepad and began to summarize the key information in the trending post of “In 30 days, the entire human race will face a life-and-death crisis!”
The information the author wanted to express was very clear: Humanity’s novice period was 30 days. After the novice period ended, they would interact with the real Deep Sea World.
This was the main point of the entire thread! As such, the author collected a great deal of information in the forum and provided several arguments for support and data for the argument.
Firstly, the initial raft durability of all eight billion humans was 30 points. With every passing day, the durability would drop a little. This was a hint regarding time. Within 30 days, humans had to change ships to deal with the new situation in 30 days.
At the same time, the rewards for the family aid mission were generous; they were rewarded with 30 days of survival supplies. This was also a hint regarding the 30-day deadline.
Secondly, the most dangerous thing in the current environment that humans were in was only sharks. An entire eight billion humans had never encountered a large-scale ocean disaster. They had never encountered even a slightly larger wave, and it was even safer than Earth’s oceans.
The author speculated that it was very likely that the difficulty of transmigration had been reduced.
Thirdly, everyone had a choice of background and identity. Just from the information revealed by a small number of people, there were thousands of different forces and races in the Deep Sea World if the sea they were in was normal.
So, where were these forces and races?
Fourthly, the source of transmigration had previously mentioned: “The longer you live, the greater the danger you face.”
Fifth…
Sixth…
Chen Changan took a look at the name of the popular author and said in a low voice, “Raven…”
Chen Changan did not fully approve of Raven’s argument. Many of the pieces of evidence’s analyses were too subjective, but Raven’s judgment regarding the novice period gave Chen Changan a wonderful feeling of ‘great minds think alike.’
Before this, Chen Changan was still hesitating whether he should hunt sharks or not.
Chen Changan didn’t have a lack of water. The bucket of clean water could be converted into a week’s worth of drinking water resources. He didn’t urgently need to drink water, but he had to plan for the unexpected!
‘Sharks must be killed! Resources have to be taken!’ Chen Changan once again strengthened his conviction and began to search for resources to create weapons.
Unfortunately, he only had half a log and a few straw ropes in his hands. He could use them as fuel, but if he were to use them against sharks, he would probably end up as shark food if he made a slip.
At this moment, the gold coin mark on his left palm suddenly lit up.
A message appeared.
[System Update: A total of 100 humans have achieved production surplus. The trading market has been activated!]
Chen Changan suddenly understood. ‘Right! When the production surplus appeared, human society developed trading practices such as goods exchange.’
Of course, this included him, the one who produced the remaining ‘drinking water.’
As for the remaining 99 competitors, Chen Changan guessed that they were all warriors who had successfully hunted sharks. Their leftovers were obtained from hunting activities.
Chen Changan opened the market, and a golden screen appeared.
There were more than ten kinds of goods on sale. Although they were exchanged for goods, the prices were all extremely high.
A catty of shark meat cost five kilograms of wood.
Other than Chen Changan—the husky who had sneaked into the wolf pack—the rest were all wealthy people with a whole shark in their hands. Therefore, nobody would be willing to spend ten kilograms of wood for shark meat!
Chen Changan was well aware that an expert capable of hunting sharks was definitely not an ordinary person. He might be ambitious, but he was definitely not brainless.
They had set the price high not because they were greedy for some wood that was temporarily useless but because they had tacitly treated the market as a…
Preservation Fridge!
After the goods were put on the shelves, they entered the Deep Sea World System. Other than a few items, the next row of items were all high-priced items like… shark meat, shark fin, shark blood, shark tail, and shark innards.
“What a bunch of smart men!” Chen Changan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Not only did the 99 ‘brave men’ kill sharks alone, but they also quickly realized the problem of rotting fish and preservation.
The moment the market appeared, they found the market’s hidden function and used it as a preservation refrigerator.
This series of actions was enough to prove that these people were brave and resourceful.
“But no matter how strong you are, will your luck be good enough?” Chen Changan smiled.
Many people who were willing to hunt sharks were affected by the water shortage crisis, so they had to take the risk to hunt sharks in exchange for drifting resources.
They wouldn’t be able to change their fate! Would they be able to obtain drinking water just by drawing in another floating resource?
Chen Changan’s smile gradually became twisted. Even though he was a husky who had snuck into the wolf pack, the drinking water in his hands was a rare resource.
“I’ve already praised all of you for being brave and resourceful. Isn’t it reasonable to sell it for a high price?” Chen Changan opened the water bucket and filled the plastic water bottle.
‘List this!’
[Plastic water bottles filled with fresh water]
[Item Description: Plastic bottle filled with fresh water. Volume: 555 milliliters]
[Price: 15kg of wood, 15kg of shark meat, same water container]
[Remarks: If there are any rare items, we can discuss further.]
Chen Changan calculated with his fingers. Even without considering the value of shark meat, 15 kilograms of firewood was enough to distill 12 liters of water. It was a terrifying profit of 24-fold!
What a huge profit! In the other 99 sea areas, dozens of strong men and several true female warriors were cursing.
“Profiteer!”
“Shameless! F*ck you!”
“B*stard, you’re ruining the market!”
Even so, the goods that Chen Changan had just put up were snatched away by an unknown buyer.
Chen Changan also received a system notification in the blink of an eye. “Congratulations. You got 15kg of wood, 15kg of shark meat, and one hot-water bottle.”
The slow-moving Shark Hunter could only sigh. “This is the true nature of humans.”
“Collect wood!” A large round wooden bucket appeared on the raft, causing the draft to rise abruptly. The seawater almost submerged the raft.
“F*ck!” Fortunately, Chen Changan immediately placed the new round wooden bucket in the sea and used a straw rope to connect the raft to the round wooden bucket.
It was a false alarm!
Chen Changan had also roughly determined the raft’s safety load based on the weight of the wooden bucket and himself.
It was about 100 kilograms!
Chen Changan already had an idea in his heart, so he naturally wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake again.
“Receive the hot-water bottle!” One of them had a red shell and a picture of a fish. A hot-water bottle with the pattern of flowers blooming was in Chen Changan’s hand.
Chen Changan chuckled. After filling the hot-water bottle with fresh water, he listed it again and wrote: “The last bottle, unbearably selling it at a high price!”
