A series of prompt sounds rang out, and Lu Ye looked at the extra things in his system package, with a slight smile on his face.
Three of the fragments, each emitting a faint blue glow, automatically combined to form an incomplete design drawing.
[Heavy Machine Gun Design (3/4)]
【Quality: Blue Excellent】
[Description: Records the manufacturing method for a high-powered automatic weapon. It possesses formidable firepower, but requires a specific workbench and materials. Currently lacking the blueprint for the crucial core bolt assembly.]
Heavy machine gun? Not bad!
Lu Ye's heart moved slightly.
The fear of insufficient firepower is engraved in the genes of every Rabbit Country citizen.
It just so happens that I got a whole box of matching machine gun bullets when I opened the box before, so all I need is a gun!
“One quarter left…” Shen Hebei also came over and saw the information on the drawing, and couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice.
"And judging by the description, this last part must be the hardest special parts blueprint to get... Isn't this game too rigged? Isn't this forcing people to go to the trading market to buy it at a high price?"
"Trap?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.
"Where there's a market, there's opportunity. Rules are static, but people are dynamic. As long as someone opens a business, there's no need to worry about not getting it."
His fingers moved quickly on the bracelet, and he directly posted a bounty message on the regional channel:
[Reward: High price for the final fragment (core bolt assembly) of the [Heavy Machine Gun Blueprint]. Exchange it for large amounts of food, water, fuel, medicine, or designated basic supplies! Private message if interested!]
As soon as this information came out, the already lively regional channel instantly exploded!
The temptation of large amounts of supplies makes many players who are struggling to make ends meet jealous!
At the other end of this unfrozen sea, on a small boat, Li Yuntian, who had just changed into dry clothes and still had a gloomy face, also saw the bounty information.
He looked at the name "Lu Ye" on the screen, then looked at the content of the bounty, and a calculating smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Huh...heavy machine gun blueprints? Still missing the crucial piece?"
Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with excitement and viciousness.
"Boss?" A subordinate came over cautiously.
Li Yuntian raised his hand and pointed at the bounty information on the bracelet, his voice filled with a hint of suppressed excitement.
"Go, check! Mobilize everyone we can contact to find out who has the final fragment of the blueprint for the [Heavy Machine Gun Core Bolt Assembly]! Quick!"
The subordinate didn't understand why.
"Boss, even if we find him, what can we exchange for him? We are now..."
"Change?" Li Yuntian sneered and interrupted him, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.
"Who said I wanted to switch with him?!"
He stood up abruptly, his gaze fixed on the possible location of the Breaker, and growled word by word, "This is a bargain that's been delivered to me! An opportunity to force him to bow to me, or even...hand over the Breaker!"
On the regional channel, below Lu Ye's reward for the [Heavy Machine Gun Core Bolt Assembly], a new and equally eye-catching message soon flooded the screen.
Li Yuntian: To all my brothers and sisters still struggling for survival! I'm Li Yuntian. I've been fortunate enough to acquire a modified ship, leaving me with a small fortune! I'm now willing to pay a large sum for all skill scrolls and fragments! Regardless of color or type, as long as it's a scroll or fragment, you can exchange it with me for sufficient food, water, medicine, and fuel! Large quantities will be discounted! My coordinates are XXX, XXX. Feel free to chat privately!
As soon as this news came out, the regional channel seemed to have been dropped with a depth bomb, and it instantly boiled over!
"Li Yuntian? Didn't he just get killed by that Wave Breaker..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! I'm acting like a big boss now, I'm going to collect the scroll!"
"Is this true? Sufficient supplies? Even more generous than Lu Ye's?"
"Look at the tone, it doesn't sound fake... Where did he get so many things?"
At this time, Li Yuntian was standing on the deck of his modified ship, which had been repaired but still looked a little messy, watching the heated discussions in the channel, with a sinister smile on his face, as if his plan had succeeded.
Humph, Lu Ye... do you think you're the only one who can do this?
I was a salesman before the end of the world. You are too naive to play with people's hearts!
He did have a lot of supplies in his hands.
Ever since he relied on his eloquence and some initial accumulation to recruit a group of desperate criminals to form a team, he has always adhered to the principle of "prudent reserve".
Most of the good things I looted were hidden away and I was reluctant to take them out.
Before, I was afraid that showing off my wealth would attract hungry wolves, but now...
Humph, how can I fight you, Lu Ye, without paying some real money?!
He took a deep breath to calm his somewhat rapid breathing, his eyes flashing with crazy calculation.
As long as I have enough supplies, I am not afraid of those people using me!
Lu Ye, don't you want fragments? I'll make sure you don't get any!
Then let’s see what you can talk to me about!
Not only did he post the news himself, he also immediately contacted several other ship owners who owned large modified ships in nearby waters through private chat.
Li Yuntian: "Bosses, have you seen the message I sent? Lu Ye is too arrogant. He's hoarding resources for himself and even trying to monopolize rare items! We can't just sit there and wait for death!"
[Ship Owner A]: "Boss Li, that's true... but you're making too much noise, aren't you? Are you really going to confront the Breaking Wave head-on?"
[Ship Owner B]: "Yeah, that Wavebreaker is pretty wicked... We don't need to offend him just for a few scroll fragments, right?"
Li Yuntian: "Offended? Now he's standing in the way of all of us! Do you want to spend your whole lives watching him eat meat while we drink soup, or even not get to drink soup?!"
He paused, then cast the bait.
"Everyone, I understand your concerns. How about this: we join forces and collect scrolls and fragments from the market, pooling our resources! As for the trade, how can I convince you all?"
A confident arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he typed quickly.
Li Yuntian: "There's a Level 2 Nurse player on my team! Her healing skills are far more effective than ordinary medical kits! As long as you guys are willing to join forces, I can share her healing services! If any crew member is injured or encounters an emergency, they will receive priority treatment! Is this sincerity enough?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several ship owners who were still hesitating immediately got furious!
[Ship Owner A]: "Oh my god! A second-level nurse?! Is this true?!"
[Ship Owner C]: "Boss Li is awesome! This is a life-saving charm!"
[Ship Owner B]: "Alright! Boss Li, count me in! Damn it, I've been fed up with that Lu Ye brat for a long time! Let's do it together!"
With the heavy bargaining chip of "Second-level Nurses", a temporary "Anti-Luye Scroll Acquisition Alliance" was quickly formed.
