Five days later.

Zhou Guangyuan and his team set out again.

However, this time the size of the traveling merchant team expanded, with the number of people increasing from 5 to 11.

Moreover, each person has a "zero resistance bicycle", which allows them to ride at a speed of more than 35 kilometers per hour even on a not very flat grassland, and they will not feel too tired after riding for more than eight hours.

The travel efficiency is more than five times that of before.

Recently, a player on the game's official forum invented a very simple and compact delta-wing glider, not much bigger than an electric car. It has an 8-horsepower gasoline engine installed at the tail, which drives the propeller to rotate, allowing the glider to fly at a speed of more than 160 kilometers per hour, and is not restricted by any terrain.

As long as there is enough gasoline, it can travel thousands of kilometers a day.

The exploration efficiency is more than five times that of a human-powered bicycle.

Of course, the current industrial strength of the "Light Society" is not very strong. To construct a delta-wing glider, it will take at least three months unless there is sufficient manpower.

But because of bicycles as a means of transportation, it used to take five days to a week to visit a player camp, but now it takes an average of two days to visit one, and barter transactions have become more abundant and intensive.

In just ten days, we have achieved enormous results.

Through barter transactions, Zhou Guangyuan and his team increased their stock of plant seeds by eight types and their stock of light industrial products by fifteen types.

What is even more exciting is that, with their eloquence, Zhou Guangyuan and his team's ability to deceive people has greatly increased. They managed to convince all the players in the three player camps, and by offering them various benefits and promises, they merged them into the "Guide of Light".

Attracted another 15 players to join.

In this way, the size of the traveling merchant team expanded to 26 people.

"If we go further, reach out to more isolated player camps, and win over more of them, it might not be long before this snowball of mine rolls to 100, 1,000 people... and expand into a formidable force."

In private.

Zhou Guangyuan thought so beautifully, as if he saw a shortcut to rapid growth and development.

But unfortunately, there will never be only one smart person in the world.

On September 30th.

Zhou Guangyuan and his group were about to head towards a player camp when they ran into a large group of players who were also riding a different type of bicycle, as if they were having an outing in the wild.

This group of players was quite large, with at least 300 of them scattered all over the mountains. Many of them wore brightly colored dresses, and it was obvious at first glance that they were female players.

And female players account for at least half.

Even from a long distance, you can hear a lot of giggling like silver bells, which makes people feel refreshed and can't help but smile at being attracted to the opposite sex.

Sadly, Zhou Guangyuan and his team were composed entirely of men. They had seen female players along the way, but they had always been very clinging to each other and didn't dare to join their all-male team. After all, in a classic joke about "dropping a woman onto a deserted island with ten strong men", something happened that even God couldn't stand.

This resulted in this all-male merchant team being extremely eager for female players to join.

Even if there are no female players joining, I at least hope to have more opportunities to communicate and exchange with female players...even if it's just an occasional encounter.

Including Zhou Guangyuan, some of them also have this kind of loser mentality.

So when he met the group of players head-on, he was not too alert. Instead, he smiled and waved to the opposite side.

Unexpectedly, the opponents were even more excited, pedaling faster, and the speed was obviously increased. Some male players even made "woohoo" wolf howls, and a team of cars rushed out from the left and right wings, distributed in a fan shape, like a net bag.

"Big fish, this is a big fish!"

"Surround them all, don't leave any one behind."

"With good fortune, our strength can grow again."

There were also excited discussions on the other side.

Something is wrong.

Zhou Guangyuan and his team finally sensed something was amiss. The opposing players looked at them with a bit too much eagerness, and their outrageous discussions about "discovering a big fish" made them even more uneasy.

But it was too late, the encirclement had been formed, and facing players who outnumbered him by at least ten times, it was impossible to escape.

I could only force a bright smile and waved hello, "Hello, handsome guys and beautiful girls, it's a nice day today, I'm glad to see you. Hey, handsome guy, you're so handsome, very stylish!"

Zhou Guangyuan combed his thumb, spoke to the tall player in front of him with an awkward smile, and even extended a hand of friendship.

But the other party ignored him. Instead, he glanced at everyone here and said loudly: "Whoever is the leader among you, step forward and stand out!"

"It's me. I'm the president of the 'Society of Light'. I'm their leader."

Zhou Guangyuan took a step forward and explained with a wry smile, "Brother, we're traveling merchants passing through here. Our main purpose is to trade with the surrounding player camps and exchange what we have. I'm not sure if you'd like to trade goods. We have a lot of high-value goods available for exchange..."

He explained his purpose.

The other party had no intention of listening to his explanation and waved his hand impatiently. He turned around and saw a woman coming towards him, who was surrounded by people and made way for him. She was as beautiful as the bright moon against the backdrop of stars and walked towards him slowly.
