Inside the box, neatly stacked were sterile gauze of various sizes, bandages, disinfectant cotton balls, iodine, scalpels, sutures, and even a few labeled antibiotics and painkillers...
There are so many things to see, all brand new and shiny, and the level of professionalism far exceeds that simple plastic box in Xue Cheng!
"Here," Lu Ye pointed at the medical box with his chin, his tone lazy.
"I have several boxes of this quality. Do you think I'd be interested in your...junk?"
Xue Cheng: “…”
He looked at the professional medical box in Lu Ye's hand that was sparkling, as if it had just been taken out of a sterile operating room, and then looked at the shabby little white box in his own hand, and a surge of blood rushed to his head!
The "precious materials" that Xue Cheng was proud of were simply a pile of garbage in front of the other party!
This slap in the face was too harsh!
But who is Xue Cheng? He has survived to this day by relying on his mouth and special abilities!
He took a deep breath, forced himself to swallow the old blood, and forced a stiff smile on his face again, trying to make a final struggle.
"Haha, brother, you are indeed wealthy! But in this vast ocean, more friends mean more paths. We..."
Xue Cheng hadn't had time to completely retract the stiff smile on his face, and he tried to save face by using the old saying "more friends, more paths".
However, Lu Ye's next action was like a silent slap in the face, making him dizzy.
Lu Ye didn't even bother to look at him any more, and just raised his hand casually.
Almost instantly, from the shadows behind the fishing boat, Shen Shu and Su Baiyue came out, pushing a creaking little metal cart together.
How can there be any orderliness on that cart?
It was filled and cluttered with various individually packaged first aid kits, medical boxes, and bags of clearly labeled medicines!
The quantity was so large that it seemed as if it had just been looted from a field hospital warehouse, piled up into a small mountain, and some were even on the verge of collapsing because they were stacked too high!
The cart stopped next to Lu Ye.
Only then did he turn his gaze back to Xue Cheng, whose face had turned from pale to blue, and then from blue to purple.
There was an emotion almost like compassion in those eyes.
"Brother," Lu Ye's voice was flat.
"You have a few dusty rags, and you have the nerve to call them 'precious medical resources'?"
He pointed his chin at the "medicine mountain" beside him.
"Tell me honestly, do you really want to make some serious deal with me, or are you hoping that I'll show some mercy and give you some direct aid?"
Relief...
These two words hit Xue Cheng's heart.
What a shame and humiliation!
Xue Cheng roamed this sea area, relying on his mouth and special abilities. When had he ever suffered such a bully?!
Before Xue Cheng could refute in frustration, Shen Hebei next to him could no longer bear to watch.
He took a sudden step forward, rolled up his sleeves carelessly, revealing his muscular forearms, and raised his voice.
"Hey! You guys! Are you done with your ink?"
Shen Hebei glared, his tone very aggressive.
"Are your ears not working well or what? Can't you see that our brother Lu is busy! If you really want to exchange something, then show some sincerity! If you have other intentions, don't be an eyesore here and delay our work!"
As he spoke, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the black ship-borne artillery behind him.
Although it wasn't said explicitly, even a fool could see the threat.
Xue Cheng and his men's expressions changed again.
Not only does the ship in front of us have abnormal firepower, but the people on board also seem to be no pushovers!
Robbery? That's courting death!
Xue Cheng cursed madly in his heart, but he had to force a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.
He knew that the only thing that could impress the other party now was intelligence.
This is his last bargaining chip.
"Wait! Brother Lu! Don't be impatient! We are the ones who are being abrupt!"
Xue Cheng waved his hands quickly, keeping a very humble attitude.
"Forget the deal! It's our fault for being so tactless! However, we do have important news to share! It's definitely not made up!"
He took a deep breath and spoke rapidly.
"We heard rumors of unusual energy fluctuations on the edge of the 'Rotten Abyss'! It seems something big is about to emerge! The players who survived the first wave of 'Raging Sea' are well-informed and have already started forming teams to hunt the sea monster! This is a perfect opportunity to obtain high-level supplies and system points! We rushed here specifically for this news!"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
"Abnormal fluctuations? Hunting sea monsters? Why didn't I receive any notifications?"
His system interface is very quiet. Apart from the scheduled delivery reminders, there are also information about materials and drawings.
This group of people... do they really have some internal channels?
Shen Hebei chuckled beside him, a little proud, and interrupted to explain.
"Brother Lu, you don't understand this, right?"
He pointed to the luxurious fishing boats and the mountains of supplies around him.
"With your conditions and wealth, you must be focusing on finding good things and upgrading your equipment! Unlike us players who have a low starting point."
"If I hadn't spent every day scouting the corners of the player community, picking up those gossips and forum posts, I would have fallen into the information asymmetry long ago! I would have either starved to death or been dragged down by something!"
He patted his chest and added.
"As for my special ability to extract fresh water from seawater, isn't it just something I figured out by reading community guides, listening to other people's bragging and nonsense, and guessing? These days, intelligence can sometimes be more useful than weapons!"
