Chapter 77 Seizing the Opportunity for Hot-Selling Goods

The next morning, Lin Nanxing slowly sat up, rubbing her sore lower back. The bed beside her was already cold.

She angrily pounded the bed, cursing the unrestrained guy countless times in her mind, before habitually opening the system interface.

When her gaze swept over the territory information panel, she suddenly slapped her face. Was she still half asleep, or was her eyes playing tricks on her?

How did your reputation suddenly jump from 14 to 18?

Lin Nanxing immediately checked the system information.

[Intention to establish friendly relations with Linbei Town detected; Reputation value +1]

[Intention to befriend Yichuan Town detected, Reputation +1]

[Intention to befriend Dongling City detected, Reputation +1]

At the same time, she suddenly noticed that the slot in her backpack containing the teleportation array was glowing.

She had tried various methods to activate the teleportation array she obtained in Fuguang Town some time ago, but it had failed. Now, however, it had activated on its own.

Lin Nanxing suddenly realized that this was probably thanks to the group of people from Dongling City who came yesterday.

It's likely that her territory wasn't the only one in the game world to have unlocked the communication function. If the team from Dongling City confirmed the authenticity of the Star Territory and then relayed the message back, it would perfectly explain all the changes.

Lin Nanxing examined the glowing teleportation array model and found it somewhat magical.

The trigger condition for this teleportation array is actually the friendliness index of a city-level territory. No wonder she couldn't activate it no matter what methods she tried before.

As the teleportation array activated, a user manual automatically appeared in her view.

The instruction manual contains a simple map with five dots of different sizes projected onto it. The brightest dot is marked "Dongling City," while the other four are relatively dim.

Each dot displays a simple message:

【Dongling City (Friendliness: 5/100)】

Beihai City (Not Connected)

【Xijiang City (Not Connected)】

[Nansha City (Not Connected)]

【Zhongyuan City (Not Connected)】

When Shu Yi brought in breakfast, he saw her looking at something in mid-air, seemingly studying it. He put down the tray and moved closer to her: "You're looking so intently, have you discovered something good again?"

Lin Nanxing was still resentful of his actions last night and subconsciously wanted to turn her back, but the things she had obtained so early in the morning made her too eager to share. She held back for less than three seconds before telling Shu Yi about the reputation points and the teleportation array.

Shu Yi patted his girlfriend's hair, happy for her: "What are you thinking? Do you want to establish a teleportation relationship with Dongling City?"

“It will definitely be established, but it shouldn’t be something we take the initiative to do.”

Having survived in this game for so long, Lin Nanxing can confidently conclude that he is the only player with a lord system, and Star Territory is the most unique entity in this game.

If that's the case, why should she lower herself to curry favor with others? Friendly communication is friendly communication, and currying favor is currying favor; the two are not the same.

Or we can wait until she accumulates 20 reputation points and upgrades the town.

Putting the teleportation array aside for now, the most important thing right now is that she can draw gacha again!

Given her good luck with the last five consecutive draws, she was well-prepared this time.

Not only did he devoutly burn incense and bathe, but he also carefully placed the newly upgraded four-leaf clover spirit on his head once again, muttering incantations.

Shu Yi, standing to the side, watched this scene, his lips twitching almost imperceptibly: "...Do you need me to help you set up an altar?"

"Sincerity brings results!" Lin Nanxing solemnly closed his eyes and started the five-draw sequence.

After the dazzling light effects, the five gashapon capsules rolled out one by one.

Lin Nanxing took a deep breath and opened them one by one; it seemed his luck wasn't so good this time.

The first gashapon capsule yielded a familiar train track, which was useful but not surprising. The next three capsules only yielded regular supplies: a set of high-grade building materials, a box of medical supplies, and a bag of rare seeds.

Only one gashapon capsule left.

Lin Nanxing took a deep breath, glanced at Shu Yi who was beside her, and suddenly touched his face. Then she used the same hand that touched his face to twist open the gashapon.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Signal Booster x1]

[Description: Significantly enhances communication signal coverage, allowing communication channels to cover an area with a radius of 500 kilometers after installation.]

Wow! It seems the system also favors good-looking people. Finally, something good has arrived.

Lin Nanxing held the signal booster with obvious delight, saying to Shu Yi, "I was just envious of Dongling City's potential long-distance communication capabilities, and now I've drawn this item. The system is really on my side."

Currently, the territory's communication channels can only be used within the territory's boundaries. With this signal booster, it can cover most of the game area, allowing residents outside to share information in real time.

Shu Yi was also very happy, because he could keep in touch with Nan Xing whenever he went out to hunt demons.

Have you figured out where you'll use this train track?

Lin Nanxing glanced at it, then suddenly mentioned the significance of the other props, thinking of his relationship with Hu Ba, and said with a half-smile, "You wouldn't be here to inquire about Hu Ba, would you?"

"Can't I?" Shu Yi asked back.

Lin Nanxing pounced on him, her eyes sparkling, "If it's my boyfriend's request, I can consider it."

The originally loose pajamas gradually loosened under Lin Nanxing's vigorous movements, and Shu Yi saw it, his eyes darkening again.

In the desolate desert, a figure covered in blood is crawling with difficulty.

Zhao Hanhai's consciousness was beginning to blur due to excessive blood loss. Blood kept seeping from the wound on his left leg that had been torn open by the monster, but it left no trace on the scorching sand.

He has been trapped for two days, all supplies have been exhausted, and his health points on the system interface are down to the last bit.

Zhao Hanhai is a lone wolf pro gamer who never tells anyone when he goes out. This area is sparsely populated and generally doesn't have monster spawns.

"Am I really going to die in a place like this?" He closed his eyes with a bitter smile, preparing to face death.

Suddenly, a game ringtone sounded in my ear; it was the familiar notification sound of the communication channel.

Zhao Hanhai opened his eyes in a daze. Was it a final burst of energy before death? Why was he hearing the unique notification sound of the territory channel?

But the incessant ringing of the notification bell shattered Zhao Hanhai's illusions, and he incredulously brought up the system interface.

The public communication channel, which had been gray for many days, was now flashing a bright green light. What shocked him even more was that the signal strength was full, and the coverage extended to this desolate land!

He's saved!

Driven by his survival instinct, Zhao Hanhai mustered his last strength to open a channel and send out a distress message with trembling hands.

[SOS! Location (.....) I am critically injured and in critical condition. I hope a kind passerby will come to my aid!]

When the message notification appeared indicating successful delivery, Zhao Hanhai finally collapsed and lost consciousness.

At a market in a small border town, the stalls of the Sand Fox Caravan were packed with people. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and urging filled the air as everyone eagerly tried to buy the goods from the stalls.

"Give me ten servings of this rice bowl! Any kind of toppings."

"I'd like a glass of mango pomelo sago and a glass of milk green tea. If you still have fruit wine, give me a pot of that too."

"Don't push! First come, first served! Line up!"

The goods on the stalls were dwindling at a visible rate, and the members of the Sand Fox Caravan were struggling to maintain order: "Please don't rush or push, we still have enough stock for everyone to buy."

An hour later.

The weather was scorching hot, and the temperature at the crowded stalls was even higher. A member of the caravan wiped away his sweat and shouted, "This is the last of the tomato and egg rice bowl! Hurry up if you want to buy!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than the last few lunchboxes were snapped up. An elderly woman who had arrived a little later looked at the empty shelves and stamped her feet in frustration: "How come they're all sold out? I brought my daughter here specifically to buy them!"

Wu Fan comforted the customer, smiling apologetically, "It's our fault. We didn't expect the residents of our town to be so enthusiastic. We didn't have enough stock. Next time, if we come again, we'll definitely give you a discount."

That being said, the game world is so vast that no one can say for sure whether this team will come from their hometown again. But there were indeed no more goods on the stall, so the old lady had no choice but to leave with her daughter, grumbling all the while.

In less than an hour, the stalls that were originally full of goods became empty. The caravan members looked at the empty cargo boxes with a mixture of joy and worry.

"This is only the third town, and we've already sold most of the goods we brought. This is far from what we expected." The team member counted the rapidly increasing amount of money in the system account, his tone complicated.

It's worrying when goods can't be sold, but it's also not a good thing when goods are in short supply. In addition to buying goods, caravans need to build good relationships with the locals in order to prepare for the next trade trip.

As a result, the goods are sold out, and they don't even recognize many people, which is completely different from what they expected.

Another member in charge of bookkeeping, while taking stock of inventory and revenue, said worriedly, "At this rate, we need to return early to restock. But the round trip will take up more than half a month, which is not worthwhile no matter how you look at it."

All eyes were on Wu Fan, who was counting the income.

Just then, the system interfaces of all caravan members simultaneously started ringing.

Everyone was taken aback.

"Huh, why is the territory's communication channel lit up?" This familiar notification sound was clearly the unique sound of the Star Territory's internal communication channel.

The young team member scratched his head. "Strange, didn't we leave the territory a long time ago? How come this channel is still working?"

Wu Fan immediately realized: "It seems that our lord has come up with some amazing new gadgets again."

He skillfully opened the suddenly lit communication interface, and a message from Lin Nanxing popped up in the top chat box.

Wu Fan skimmed through the text, his eyes growing brighter with each reading. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "Pack up our things and head back to our territory first thing tomorrow morning!"

"But Captain, isn't this too rushed?"

Wu Fan's eyes shone brightly: "I just received a message from Lord Lin saying that a new and good product has appeared in the territory. It's a bamboo product that can automatically cool down and is even more effective than protective clothing. Since we'll have to go back to restock sooner or later, we might as well bring the new product with us as soon as possible."

If Lin Nanxing's statement is true, then the bamboo products she provides are enough to change the layout of this game world. He's not the only one with brains; many people who know the effects of these bamboo products will probably be tempted to sell them.

As one of the earliest caravans to explore new frontiers, the Sand Fox Caravan must seize the initiative in this transformation!
