Having suddenly acquired 40 pieces of wood, Lin Hu took out his crafting table from his backpack and realized that it took four pieces of wood to craft one plank.

At first, I thought the 40 pieces of wood were just planks, so I only put 10 servings of 200ml water on the shelves.

However, judging from the fact that most people in the chat area are asking for water and food, it seems that the demand for water is currently very high.

However, the water purifier takes time to purify, so he used the received wood to expand the raft to 3x4. He wanted to wait for the materials after the transaction before expanding the raft with the remaining two planks, because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

(Here's an explanation: each plank is 1 meter by 1 meter. Don't worry about the thickness, it won't get flooded anyway.)

With some free time, Lin Hu simply took out the beanbag-like sofa, lay down on it, covered it with a green plush blanket, and swiped his finger in the air to enter the chat area. He found that the chat area was divided into two sections: regional and world chat.

[Zhang XX: Holy crap, where am I?]

[Tao XX: Someone please save me, I have thalassophobia.]

[Jiang xx: Is Jiang x there? Please reply if you see this.]

[Zhao xx: Wang x, which district are you in? Please reply if you see this.]

[?: Instead of wasting time crying and complaining here, you should hurry up and fish for supplies to upgrade your raft. Based on my years of experience reading novels, if you don't upgrade your raft, sea creatures will definitely attack you later.]

[Wang xx: Holy crap, bro, are you serious? You seem to know a thing or two. Can you carry me?]

[Chen X: What's the boss's name??]

[? ? : Just enable anonymous access on your personal homepage.]

[?: I've learned it.]

Lin Hu clicked on the world chat area, but there wasn't much to see; most of the chat was filled with people cursing, looking for help, and begging for someone to carry them.

Some people have even adapted quickly and fished out treasure chests, obtaining supplies such as food and water.

Lin Hu opened the chat area again and looked at the number 66/ in the upper left corner of the area chat area. Lin Hu guessed that it should be the number of people in the area, while the world channel was hidden and not displayed.

[Lin XX: Holy crap, I'm alive! I was suddenly pulled into this bizarre survival game. I was almost dying of thirst, but luckily someone was trading bottled water while I was browsing the trading market, so I quickly made a trade.]

[Qiao X: Me too, I got one too.]

[Zhang XX: I've been squatting in the trading market the whole time, how come I didn't see it?]

[Li xx: I've been camped out in the trading market the whole time. I saw it, but I couldn't get any... *crying*]

[Wu XX: Seriously, nobody seems to notice, but some people can now just pull out bottled water and trade without batting an eye?]

[? : Maybe someone provided the blueprints for a water purifier.]

[Wu X: @? ? ? Bro, you're so knowledgeable, you even know the blueprints.]

[? ? : I love watching survival games; they all basically follow these same formulas, and you might even have to kill mutated beasts.]

[Jia xx: Could it be that some big shot has actually gotten the blueprints for a water purifier? Does this big shot need any underlings?]

Lin Hu: No, it's a water purifier, and a high-end one at that.

[Liu XX: If you ask me, that person should have donated the water purifier. Everyone is struggling, yet he still wants to trade water with us.]

[Zhao X: I also think so, we are all compatriots...]

...

Similar topics are constantly being discussed in both chat channels, and everyone still has the energy and mindset.

Lin Hu wouldn't argue, because he really was ruthless. He just wanted to develop quickly and then retire peacefully. However, he also needed to provide some support, otherwise, once he reached the top, he would have no business partners left.

So he quickly put the 5000ml of purified water on the shelves in 200ml portions, which were sold out in a second. After that, many people complained about Lin Hu in the regional chat area.

Those who benefited from Lin Hu only boasted once and then fell silent, since their own interests were not threatened. They even held a sliver of hope that if these people continued to make trouble, they would see if Lin Hu would act like a saint.

At this moment, Lin Hu was lying boneless on a beanbag chair, clearing messages and red dots on the interface. After clearing most of them, he clicked on his friends list and saw a bunch of friend requests, all from people he had traded with. Since he was anonymous, he could only add them through the transaction history.

[Lin xx: Hey bro, do you buy leg charms?]

[Zhang xx: Hey bro, do you have time? Let's add each other as friends~ I'll dance for you.]

[Wang XX: Brother, you have so much water, shouldn't you share it to help everyone?]

...

[?: Do you want the iron block?]

After looking at a bunch of people, Lin Hu finally found a normal person, and they were anonymous. In the early stages, probably no one realized that their own kind were actually more terrifying than those mutated monsters, so few people deliberately set themselves to be anonymous.

For someone like Lin Hu, with his God-like perspective, anonymity is absolute. And those who choose anonymity from the start are definitely not simple people. Of course, some might have read too many novels, or be indulging in a fit of adolescent angst; those who want to maintain anonymity will also choose to remain mysterious.

After Lin Hu accepted the friend request, he saw the other person's personal information and clicked on it to take a look.

He was a Chinese man with dyed blonde hair named Cheng Yuan, and he was quite handsome.

[Lin Hu: How much iron do you have?]

Lin Hu took the initiative to speak. Although it is said that whoever speaks first in a transaction will suffer a loss, Lin Hu was obviously not afraid. He could say that he only had water, and that the high-end water purifier was highly efficient, so he was not afraid of not being able to provide the other party with the quantity they wanted.

[Cheng Yuan: How many supplies do you have?]

The other party was talking about supplies, not water. Their probing was too obvious, and Lin Hu, exhausted from a long day, didn't want to give them any more information.
