Chapter 26 The Second Strange Tide Travels at Rocket Speed

He couldn't stand seeing Shen Dixin being respected but kept at a distance. It was obvious that most of the affordable supplies came from them, and Shen Dixin was even helping to stabilize market prices. Did she really do all this for herself?

Shen Dixin appeared helpless, but felt a warmth in his heart. This guy was reacting even more strongly than if he himself had been wronged.

She relented and sent a short message.

Old Shen, a wholesaler at AAA Materials: He wanted to kill me, but he was no match for me. That's all. If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect.

After she made her statement, many players who knew Shen Dixing stepped forward to offer their help.

Coffee or tea: You've all bought things from the God of Wealth, right? Now what's the point of being wary of him? Those with nothing to hide won't be afraid; the God of Wealth isn't someone who acts recklessly.

The wind came by: I'm sorry... I might need to think about it carefully.

Qi Mu: Stop making malicious speculations, everyone. If my sister Chen really did it on purpose, she would let you all know the person is dead. Why deny it? It would better establish her authority. To put it bluntly, there's no need for me to explain myself to you.

Ultimately, there are very few people who dare to confront Shen Dixin head-on.

Having survived for three days, everyone understood that although they were players, this was not a game where they could simply quit or start over after failing.

Back on the raft, Zhu Sha, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward, her small body lying on the edge of the plank, stretching out most of it.

Pets and their owners can sense each other's thoughts. Chen Dixin listened carefully to Zhu Sha's rambling words. It was only a short time after it was born and was still like a child, unable to clearly express its thoughts.

No… After listening for a while, Chen Dixin immediately crossed out the sentence above, as it clearly expressed its needs very well.

Food! I want to eat, sweet food that's piping hot in my mouth, like it's been sizzling!

Chen Dixin smiled, feeling much more relaxed. He then acted as a human ordering machine, ordering three dishes for Zhu Sha.

The sweet and sour pork I made this morning hasn't sold out yet. The chefs are working at full capacity. The restaurant makes a lot of dishes and sells them from morning till night. It's just that it's springtime now, and the weather is suitable. The food won't spoil if left out for a day, but there's a greater risk if it's left overnight.

Shen Dixin gave Zhu Sha a serving of sweet and sour pork. Lu Mingang, who was standing to the side, had not yet adjusted his emotions, but he did not stop working after returning to the ship. His eyes were watery as if they were on fire.

Upon hearing about the menu item, Zhu Sha nodded slightly.

Chen Dixin pondered for a moment, then poked at the cinnabar stalk that was being devoured, giving it a meaningful look. "That guy's in a bad mood. Why don't you comfort him? He likes you so much."

Zhu Sha proudly raised her head, "I'll go after I finish eating!"

Despite its small size, its body seemed like a bottomless pit, and as Zhu Sha ate, the energy bar on its attribute panel was gradually filled up.

[Your pet "Zhu Sha" will gain 10 experience points after consuming a certain amount of food. You can also gain 60 experience points today.]

[Congratulations, player! You have triggered the talent effect! Your pet has gained 2 experience points!]

Pets are born with a level 1 pet. A level 1 pet can only gain 100 experience points per day, and it would take five days to level up even if you tried to maximize that every day.

Unexpectedly, cinnabar can also trigger its own [critical strike]. The extra experience gained from a critical strike is not counted towards the daily limit, which can speed things up. Shen Dixin thought to herself as she looked at the 60 points she still had.

After calming myself down and taking stock of what I had gained, my previously gloomy face instantly lit up.

Selecting "One-click merge" will prompt that a 5% processing fee will be charged.

Shen Dixin stared at the bracelet on her wrist, wishing she could tear the system out of it. Even such a small function takes 5% of the cost; even Zhou Bapi wouldn't be this stingy.

But there's no other way; organizing it can save a lot of time.

The merged materials were sorted by quantity, and surprisingly, the first two weren't wood planks and plastic.

Upon closer reflection, Chen Dixin's wooden planks and plastic were directly placed in the backpack, and all of them belonged to Lu Mingang.

His backpack was completely stuffed with piles of food that were difficult to store, leaving no room for any other items.

Wood boards and plastics are relatively common materials, but with the blessing of the "koi fish," they have become much less common.

The most numerous items were iron nails, a total of 62.

Shen Dixin directly put the items out of the wooden crates one by one. There is one advantage to sorting supplies from personal shops: you don't have to move them around. You know, sorting out dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of various supplies is very physically demanding!

57 wooden planks, 48 ​​plastic pieces, 31 ropes, 15 copper blocks, 14 iron wires, 23 iron plates, 13 gold nuggets, 9 silver nuggets, 3 electrical wires, 3 electronic components, 3 concrete pieces, 1 alloy piece...

This trip has accelerated the upgrade process for the Tier 3 ship. If things go smoothly, it can be upgraded by tomorrow!

The rocket-like speed made Shen Dixin feel like she was walking on clouds. In her previous life, she had gathered so many materials to upgrade her ship to level three by the end of the first month.

However, she knew that she had managed to gather so many supplies because she had visited two islands and even discovered an island that was purely a giveaway, like the "Happy Easter Egg."

Normally, you might encounter an island every one or two days, and it's common to not encounter one for three days.

Chen Dixin let out a long sigh, tried to adjust his mindset, and used a hook to hook a few planks to calm his emotions.

We must not let ourselves get caught up in the happiness of unexpected windfalls and forget to accumulate resources step by step.

Oh, and there's also business with shops.

Shen Dixin silently accepted the goods that had just been sold. Was this the profit from monopolizing the entire channel's trade?

That's incredibly lucrative; it's a level of lucrativeness that players who haven't run an individual shop can't even imagine!

At first, Shen Dixin thought that the OEM business was easy to do, as all she needed to do was collect some blueprints, and it was a highly profitable business. Other businesses were just for her own convenience, as she could collect the materials she needed quickly.

However, the exchange of goods is not always perfectly equivalent. For example, if you exchange a bottle of water for steamed buns and dumplings, you can only get two, but four dumplings can be exchanged for five steamed buns.

The purchase price and selling price of the "Heart Cleansing Heart" item fluctuate by one or two percent, and the price may rise or fall to some extent when players urgently need the item...

These seemingly insignificant fluctuations actually brought her many benefits amidst the massive flow of goods.

Today we visited two islands, and we spent almost all our time there. Shen Dixin looked at the sky and realized that it was already tinged with orange light by the time she finished tidying up; it was getting dark.

Shen Dixin rubbed her stomach; she was hungry.

Let's eat well now and stack up our buffs so we can fight better!

Fortunately, they were surviving at sea, so their bodies were no longer purely human. Otherwise, if they had been exercising so vigorously right after eating, they would have gotten appendicitis.

My mind was racing with thoughts, and I suddenly remembered my family's words of advice.

Eat meals on time, ensure a balanced diet, and avoid running or jumping after meals...

Having eaten and drunk their fill, they still had cinnabar to help in today's battle, although it couldn't be of much assistance at the moment.

Low-level sea monsters are not very smart and only target monster hunters, so Zhu Sha is relatively safe, and Chen Di Xin can go with the child.

"Splash—"

The sounds of water breaking through the surface rose everywhere; the second strange tide had begun!
