The terrifying air wave generated by the explosion caused Lu Ye's fishing boat to shake violently even from a long distance.
Lu Ye steadied the rudder and calmly opened the system interface. Looking at the large number of gray avatars that instantly dimmed in the regional player list, a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, a free lunch is often the most expensive. The system will never make a loss.
He nodded, as if confirming just a trivial matter.
"Just as I expected."
He turned his head and looked at Shen Shu beside him: "Doctor Shen, get ready and announce another transaction."
Shen Shu looked at him: "Or do you want to exchange it for upgrade materials?" The previous transaction made them gain a lot, but it also consumed a lot of much-needed upgrade materials.
"No." Lu Ye shook his head, a shrewd look in his eyes. "This time, let's hold an auction. We'll use the alcohol and gauze we picked up from that boat, as well as the unused items in the first aid kit Lin Yang gave us, and put them together to make a simple first aid kit. The starting bid is ten, and the highest bidder wins."
He paused and added, "Also, this time the transaction is limited to players in our regional channel."
Shen Shu was very smart and immediately understood Lu Ye's intention: "You want to... sell it to those who just survived the explosion?"
"That's right." Lu Ye's tone was almost cold and certain.
"Those who survived that kind of explosion were either incredibly lucky or had some real skills, and they definitely had some valuable supplies. Right now, what they lack most is life-saving emergency medicine! At a time like this, they won't be stingy with the supplies they have."
While you are sick, I will kill you...
This is the iron rule of survival games.
Su Baiyue, who was standing next to him, looked at Lu Ye's calm profile. This man was clearly treating her wounds gently and saying "I believe you" the moment before, but the next moment, he was able to calculate other people's lives and resources so calmly.
This man's mind is terrifying!
Just as Lu Ye expected, as soon as the transaction information was released, the regional channel boiled instantly like boiling water!
[Regional Channel] Player D (near death): "First aid kit?! Who has one?! Trade me a compressed biscuit!"
[Regional Channel] Player E (Severely Injured): "Biscuits? Get lost! I'm giving you two cans! My arm's almost broken!"
[Regional Channel] Player F (moderately burned): "I'm offering three Water Purification Cores! Give them to me first! I can't hold on any longer!"
[Regional Channel] Auction House Tip: The [Simple First Aid Kit]*10 released by the player "Lu Ye" has started bidding. The starting price is [Any Food*1]. The highest bidder wins. Only players in this sea area can participate.
"I want!"
"Give me!"
"Don't fight with me!"
The survivors who had just experienced a life-and-death situation looked at the so-called "first aid kit" which was so simple that it was just wrapped with ordinary cloth strips, and they started bidding like crazy as if they had seen a life-saving straw.
Food, clean water, materials, and even some rare items that they had kept in the bottom of their boxes were thrown out without hesitation.
Lu Ye’s system notification sounded non-stop, and notifications of successful transactions kept appearing on the screen.
In a short while, the ten simple first aid kits were sold out, and what was left in return was a mountain of supplies.
Lu Ye glanced at the transaction records. Most of them were various kinds of food: compressed biscuits, canned food, energy bars, and even a few small bags of vacuum-packed rice. He had little interest in these things that were not in short supply at the moment and was too lazy to take a closer look.
He directly shared the operation authority with Su Baiyue: "Please organize these foods and count them for storage."
Su Baiyue looked at the large amount of food and miscellaneous materials that suddenly appeared in the system backpack, and felt a little dizzy for a moment.
She counted the number subconsciously and felt her scalp tingling.
Others are racking their brains to get a little food and water, worrying about survival every day.
But it was different for Lu Ye. The supplies in the warehouse were completely reversed. He used a bunch of ordinary medical supplies that they now looked down upon to easily exchange for food reserves that were enough for the three of them to eat for a long time.
This kind of operation of exchanging "garbage" for "gold"...she simply couldn't imagine it.
Su Baiyue was still stunned by the vast amount of food and miscellaneous materials in the system backpack. Her fingertips slid across the virtual screen, confirming every transaction record, and she felt even more in awe of Lu Ye's methods.
At this moment, Shen Shu, who had been silently observing the transaction dynamics, frowned slightly. She tapped her fingertips and magnified a transaction record that had just been completed.
"Lu Ye," her voice was filled with a barely perceptible chill as she shifted her gaze from the system screen to the man beside her, "Look at this trading account."
Lu Ye turned his head and his eyes fell on the name that Shen Shu pointed at - [Strong].
Wow, you’re pretty lucky.
The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a mocking smile.
Brother Gang, the guy who was showing off on the supply ship and was almost burned to death by him and Su Baiyue, actually exchanged supplies for a "junk" first aid kit that they threw away.
"Why, he's still alive?" Lu Ye asked calmly.
Shen Shu nodded: "Not only is he alive, he also took away a first aid kit."
"Quick move," Lu Ye snorted, but there was no surprise in his eyes. To survive an explosion like that, one must have been far enough away from the core of the explosion, or have some kind of life-saving trump card.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He quickly tapped his finger on the interface: "Block."
