As Jiang An looked at the ever-increasing volume of messages, he felt nothing but silence, without a trace of emotion.

In this perilous survival game at sea, all she wanted was to survive, and to thrive.

Besides, she's just an ordinary person, not a saint.

After all, she's not the only one selling thermal items at high prices.

These internet trolls can only show off here.

Or perhaps other competitors are just jealous, but that's just annoyance and won't cause Jiang An any trouble at all.

Jiang An calmly replied, "Transactions are based on mutual consent. If you don't want it, you can leave. I've already blocked the most active ones. I don't think you want to see any more of my products sold in the future."

At this moment, someone stood up to support Jiang An: "Well said, boss, I support you!"

“Yeah, if it weren’t for you selling water purifiers, we would have died of thirst on the first day, let alone now! Those are down jackets and windbreakers!” another person chimed in.

"Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean others can't. Stop spouting nonsense. You'd be better off grabbing a few more treasure chests to avoid freezing to death," someone else commented.

"Yeah, it's not like I owe you anything, so stop with the moral blackmail!"

"+1!"

"+1!"

...

In an instant, many players stood up to support Jiang An, leaving the trolls speechless.

"Brother Jiang An, they've really gone too far," Zhang Tianyao said, speaking up for Jiang An.

"Let them say whatever they want, it won't hurt me anyway. Besides, more and more players are coming to trade with me now. As a result, all the players in the 2333 district know that I have warm clothes here. I don't know who organized this farce, but I should thank them!" Jiang An looked at the screen full of 99+ private messages and was secretly delighted.

That's right, thanks to these online trolls, now all the players in Zone 2333 know that she has a windbreaker and a down jacket.

People sent private messages expressing their willingness to exchange their special items for this item.

Jiang An casually opened a private message, which listed a dazzling array of items that made her mouth water and wished she could take them all.

Unfortunately, she had a limited number of down jackets and windbreakers.

Zhang Tianyao: "Hmph, let those people be envious."

“Haha, well said!”

Jiang An ignored the commotion in the regional channel and took out the treasure chest he had previously retrieved from his backpack, ready to open it.

The weather grew colder and colder, the sea breeze howled, and the waves crashed against the shore, splashing up icy water.

Many players couldn't stand the low temperatures and dared not risk going into the sea to retrieve treasure chests.

They could only rely on nets to obtain resources, but the nets could only retrieve wooden boxes, and were powerless to retrieve the more precious stone boxes.

This made Jiang An feel that the situation was becoming increasingly serious.

The bitter cold is just one of many difficulties; the sudden appearance of sharks in the early morning poses an even greater threat to players.

Jiang An didn't need to check the number of players on the regional channel to guess that many players had suffered significant losses or even lost their lives due to the shark attack.

However, everyone seemed to tacitly remain silent and stopped discussing the matter on the regional channel.

It's as if it doesn't exist if it's not discussed. That's just self-deception.

At this moment, Jiang An had successfully retrieved seven boxes, including one stone box and six wooden boxes.

[Armor Blueprint (Disposable), Energy Stone *2, Iron Kettle, Down Feather *2]

[Ding! Armor blueprint found. Do you want to learn it?]

Jiang An chose "yes" without hesitation.
