"Boss, you need to think this through. Twelve pieces of obsidian are far superior to Chen Dian's cheap knockoffs."

Song Changqing said calmly.

Li Changge nodded, indicating his agreement with Song Changqing's words.

really,

Obsidian, one of the main materials for naval cannons, only costs forty pieces. Song Changqing was able to take out twelve pieces at once, which shows he is quite wealthy.

Chen Dian's face turned red, but he couldn't utter any harsh words.

Finally, he sighed, and his hands, which had been trying to type, fell limply to his sides.

He lost, lost to those who spend money on in-game purchases.

"What Master Song offered was indeed very tempting, so we chose to sell it to Chen Dian."

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Chen Dian, who had looked utterly defeated, suddenly had a dazzling brilliance in his eyes, while Song Changqing's smile froze and then slowly disappeared.

"Li Changge, didn't you say the highest bidder wins?"

Song Changqing suppressed his anger and wrote in a restrained manner.

"The highest bidder wins."

"Then why not sell it to me?"

"Because I don't like you, how about that reason?"

hiss.

Survivors who saw this message gasped in shock.

This Li Changge is too outspoken.

"Okay, very good. I hope you can bear the consequences."

Song Changqing remained silent for a long while before slowly typing out these words.

"If you're not satisfied, come and fight me in the western waters. I'm not afraid."

Li Changge was fearless and directly challenged them.

But his arrogant words went unanswered. When Li Changge saw the trading room's popularity drop from a thousand to seven or eight hundred, he knew that Song Changqing had left, taking the survivors from the Eastern Seas with him.

Making empty threats is useless.

Rather than staying here and being personally attacked by Li Changge, it's better to just leave.

For survivors, revenge is never too late.

"Mr. Li, you have guts, you're amazing."

Chen Dian exclaimed in admiration.

He had thought he wouldn't be able to buy the food, but unexpectedly, Li Changge gave him a surprise.

"It's nothing, I just can't stand players who spend money on in-game purchases."

Chen Dian nodded in deep agreement.

Song Changqing's father was also a survivor in the Eastern Sea. After landing on a metal-type island, he discovered a giant mineral vein, and then his father led Song Changqing to take over the place.

Using their superior ability to tame strange beasts, the father and son double-crossed the survivors who had previously landed on the island, taking them all for themselves and killing any who disobeyed.

Gradually, Song Changqing's family-style monopoly became known throughout the chat channel.

Not long ago, three survivors who ranked in the top 8,000 on the island leaderboard board board board boarded the island occupied by Song Changqing's family and challenged them.

As a result, it took less than five minutes.

All three survivors died, leaving only their beasts to work as laborers mining the vein.

This news caused a sensation throughout the chat channel, and Li Changge was naturally aware of it as well.

"I hated these rich bastards in my past life, and I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape them even after coming here."

"I hate it too, but I still have to remind you that you have already offended Gongsun Ce and Song Changqing, so you must be careful about your safety."

Chen Dian gave a reminder, then quickly completed the transaction and made his escape.

He was only ranked over nine thousandth on the island's ranking list, far inferior to Song Changqing and the others. His previous forbearance was out of necessity. Now that Li Changge had offended them, it would be strange if he didn't run away.

"Ha, Song Changqing? Gongsun Ce? If you dare to come, be prepared to die."

Li Changge narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

Seeing that four of the five people had left, Wei Hongyi bought a vitality buff food and also slipped away.

Li Changge sold the remaining strength and vision buffs to two unknown survivors at a reasonable price.

[Alright everyone, all five buff foods are sold out. If you want to buy more, you'll have to wait for my notification. You all know how difficult it is to catch such excellent-grade ingredients in the sea.]

"Oh? It's gone. What a pity."

There were still more than two hundred survivors lingering in Li Changge's trading room. When they saw the message that the items were sold out, they all showed expressions of regret.

[Goodbye, everyone, may our friendship endure as long as the mountains and rivers flow on.]

After saying that, Li Changge quickly logged off.

He's not worried about not having repeat customers, because the key to making food stand out isn't just the ingredients, but also the superior steamer.

Only when all five layers of the superior-grade steamer are fully open can the superior-grade ingredients receive their buffs; even one less layer won't work.

For specific details, please refer to the excellent-grade fish that Li Changge ate before.

Moreover, after this incident, the news about buff food will definitely spread, and his asking price won't be so low then.

That's right. He previously felt that the price of buff food was set too low, as it consisted of common ores, with only saltpeter being a bit hard to find.

Now it's time for him to take stock of his gains.

"Eight pieces of saltpeter, twenty pieces of obsidian, and twelve pieces of aquamarine ore. Not bad, the harvest is quite satisfactory."

"It's a pity, we still need a lot of ore to equip a naval cannon and shells."

Li Changge put the ore away, feeling a little regretful.

After several hours of preparation, the chat channel was in an uproar over the buff food.

"Holy crap, have you heard? A guy in the Western Seas has developed a buff food, which has attracted several big names on the Island Ranking to come and watch."

"Your information is inaccurate. I heard that after the disaster, the survivors wanted free food, so this guy in the Western Seas distributed his food. But some greedy survivors wanted to get it for free, which made him reduce the number of people available again and again, and everyone left on bad terms."

"Finally, the survivors who wanted to get something for free even brought out a representative from their own sea area to threaten them, but the guy from the western sea area was not afraid at all and scolded the five representatives until they were red in the face. At the end of the incident, that guy even forcefully introduced buff food, which shocked everyone."

"And the last one, you all know it, so I won't go into it."

"What's that guy's name?"

"Li Changge".

The people kept repeating this name, their admiration only growing stronger.

An unknown nobody angrily confronts five top-ranked experts on the island's leaderboard.

Such an inspiring story could be written into a novel.

...

The entire chat channel was filled with chattering about almost nothing but these things.

Li Changge's reputation has now been fully established.

However, Li Changge just looked at it without any reaction.

There was no need for him to speak inside, and he also had to be wary of some unscrupulous individuals who might sneak up on him and cause trouble.

Although there is no clear direction, being cautious is always a good thing.

"These sunflower seeds smell so good."

Li Changge cracked sunflower seeds while gazing at the seascape.

Being able to snack on sunflower seeds at times like this, living a leisurely and carefree life is truly wonderful.
