Chapter 65 The First Signs of a Rumor
Jiang Baiyue didn't know who started the discussion about the protective shield of the Baiyue base, but it suited her tastes.
The blueprint given to us amidst the flying yellow sand was a permanent blueprint.
Jiang Baiyue made a killing by exchanging 10 bottles of mineral water. She guessed that the other party was able to make the trade because of the immense pressure they were under, and they hadn't even considered the pros and cons.
After the base was upgraded, she started thinking about how to "naturally" promote her protective shield manufacturing business.
After all, the production company needs to provide her with such a large quantity of materials, so it's safe to say that most people would have serious concerns.
Actively promoting her own business makes her seem too cheap; you have to beg and plead to get things done without having to worry too much.
Thinking this, Jiang Baiyue sent a message in response.
"Lying Flat on Xianyu: Protective shield making service available, materials to be provided by the customer. Price to be discussed in private message. @Everyone"
"Motorcycle Boy: You can make these things, yet you watch others suffer. How many people have died these past few days?"
"Muscular man: Sigh... So many people could have avoided dying."
"Level 1 Disability: Are you kidding me? The protective shield is so powerful, you should know it needs a lot of materials. Do you think it's that simple?"
"Not eating vegetables: Exactly. You're so pitying others, why don't you help them out? There are still people in our base who don't have enough to eat. If you're so kind, why don't you donate some food and warm clothing?"
"The sea cannot be measured by a bushel; an individual's strength is limited. If the White Moon Base had told us sooner, we could have gathered the materials sooner."
"Green hills and clear waters: @LyingFlatSaltyFish, reservation made, already sent a private message."
Jiang Baiyue stopped looking at the chat area and instead checked her private messages. She sent a screenshot of the protective shield blueprint and materials to anyone who wanted to have the shield made for her.
After I sent the screenshot, many people remained silent.
There were simply too many materials, too large a quantity, and some of them, even the base commanders, didn't have yet.
Only not using an umbrella on rainy days indicates that she needs two days to collect materials, as she is just a little short of having enough.
Jiang Baiyue thought of how this person was always decisive in helping others or making transactions, since he didn't use an umbrella in the rain, and sent him a message.
"Lying Flat Salted Fish: What materials are you still missing? I'll lend you some if you're short on quantities. If I need any more materials later, please help me out as much as you can."
"No umbrella in the rain: 316 parts defective nuts, 21 parts defective anti-corrosion plastics, and 35 parts defective refined stone."
Jiang Baiyue was slightly surprised. There were plenty of materials for not using an umbrella in the rain. She had been missing a lot of materials back then.
"Laying-down-and-couch-fish: I'll make up for it, just enough. My reward is iron ingots, long-shelf-life food, and materials to upgrade my base from level 2 to level 3."
The two then talked for a long time about the number of documents, and Jiang Baiyue also compiled a list of documents that could be traded with other bases.
...
Peach Blossom Base.
Peach Blossoms remained silent as she looked at the message from the lazy bum across the way.
There are too many materials for the protective shield; the base warehouse simply doesn't have that many, and for several types of materials, the warehouse doesn't even have them.
This further solidified Peach Blossom's determination to take over the White Moon Base. If he could get the workbench, he could earn so many materials and coins!
Even upgrading the base to level 2 or 3 is no longer a problem.
The muscular man and the others around him kept tapping and swiping on their panels, their expressions excited and their mouths full of curses.
"Damn! This lazy bum is completely ignoring us. No matter how we provoke him, he won't say a word."
"Who cares? Let's ruin her reputation. She's caused so many people to leave our base, which means we've lost a lot of money."
"Recently, many people have become dissatisfied and even dare to speak out."
"If all else fails, we can just rob her, kill her, and then the White Moon Base will be ours."
"Not necessarily. What if the rules in the base don't change, and we don't have the authority to change them? Wouldn't that just benefit the people in the base?"
"Actually, I think that as long as we kill that woman, the White Moon Base might not be able to develop properly. If those residents suffer, they will definitely come back."
Peach Blossoms was actually trying to kill the lazy bum directly, but he wanted to threaten him again, get some benefits, and then kill him.
However... the other party always takes 6 mercenaries with him when he goes out, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Those who are tracking him can't catch up with him and lose track of him every time, which means that the plan has never been implemented.
Then they turned to spreading rumors, hoping to incite the residents of the White Moon Base to take action, so that the lazy, unsuspecting people would be even less on guard.
...
The five team leaders and their deputy team leaders of the Five Forces Base held an emergency meeting.
Alaskan Wolf looked at the man with a big belly sitting on the left side of the long table: "I heard that you guys, Money Jar, have done business with Lazy Fish. It's probably more appropriate for you to negotiate the price."
Money Jar didn't say anything, since his captain, Little Star, was there anyway.
Little Star: "We're doing a fair trade, we're not like we're wearing the same pants."
"Actually, the most suitable method is still to trade through farmland. Right now, the base mainly has clay, food scraps, and bones."
A bearded man stroked his beard and slowly began to speak.
The evening breeze, disliking roundabout talk, went straight to the point: "So, what benefits do you all intend to offer us?"
The others remained silent. The list contained a considerable amount of material, which would undoubtedly bring significant benefits to the Starwind team.
It hurts so much! Why don't they have their own agricultural work stations?
Alaskan Wolf: "These are materials that we all bought together, why should we give you any benefits?"
Originally, his team was the largest, and all the members were young adults, a third of whom had superpowers.
As a result, a farm work station was set up by Qian Guanzi. At first, it didn't have much effect. However, the heavy rain blocked the exit, which enabled Xingfeng Team to rise up.
...
That night, many base leaders or teams were brainstorming countermeasures, and the discussions became so heated that they even argued over interests.
Jiang Baiyue was unaware of these things, but she noticed some ominous signs in the comments section.
"9346: Do you think killing the base chief would allow one to inherit the base administrator's position?"
fofo: ...Is this something we can discuss?
"Eat smaller, more frequent meals to lose weight: No way, nobody actually does that, right?"
"Under the Lemon Tree: But, some people actually kill players and take the supplies from their backpacks. Now, when we go out, we only dare to team up with people we trust."
Not all players who die every day are killed by zombies or monsters; some are indeed killed by ambushes or traps.
It's because these people want to take shortcuts, covet other people's valuable weapons and materials, or just want a bite to eat.
Even though some monsters are easier to kill than humans, some people still choose to deceive their own kind.
"Don't want to study: ...Wait, someone wouldn't actually kill the base commander, would they? What about the base's future development?"
"You can dream of anything: Are you crazy? Who would dare to bet?"
"9346: Who knows? I'm just saying whatever comes to mind, don't take it seriously, hahaha."
"No work, no work: I think you have ulterior motives. At such a tense time, you're just trying to stir up trouble. Don't fall for it, everyone. If we kill the base commander, the base might just disband."
"So handsome it's unbelievable: What good is it for you guys if the base commander is gone? When the flood comes out, you'll all be wiped out."
