A hungry and skinny player looked at the fish frolicking in the sea in the distance and sighed in despair.
They were so jealous that their eyes almost turned red.
At this moment, Li Yuntian knew nothing about this.
He was standing on the bow of his repaired and modified ship, the Shark Hunter, facing the slightly salty sea breeze, a smug smile on his face, and enjoying the envious or jealous discussions on the regional channel.
Humph, Lu Ye, you want to play a price war with me? You're still a little naive!
He thought smugly in his heart.
My Level 2 Nurse is my golden signboard! See who dares to sell you the fragments!
Wait for me to harvest another wave and collect some key blueprints, and then see how arrogant you can be with Breaking Waves!
He turned around and, with saliva flying, taught his "success theory" to the few small boat owners who had just joined him and his core subordinates.
"I see it all clearly! In this world, if you want to live well, you must know how to seize opportunities and follow the flow!"
He pointed to his head.
"You need to be smart! Don't be like Lu Ye, who relies on the good ship and thinks everyone has to revolve around him!"
"Follow me, Boss Li. As long as you're willing to work hard and have a smart mind, I guarantee you'll have a good life!"
He patted his chest and his saliva almost sprayed on the face of a subordinate in front of him.
"When we monopolize all the scroll fragments in this sea area, then... hehe..."
Just as Li Yuntian was imagining a bright future and preparing to accept the admiring gazes of his subordinates, something strange happened!
The private chat notification sound on his bracelet was still ringing sporadically, indicating that someone was inquiring about the scroll transaction.
But at this moment, several messages waiting in line for transactions appeared, and the player's avatar suddenly dimmed, indicating that the other party had canceled the transaction!
"Hmm?" The smile on Li Yuntian's face froze instantly, and his brows were furrowed.
What happened? We were just talking so well, why did you suddenly back out?
He immediately clicked on the avatar of one of the players who had just quit and sent an angry private message to question him.
Li Yuntian: Hey! What the hell?! We agreed on a price, so why are you saying you don't want to change it?! Are you kidding me?!
The other party was silent for a few seconds before responding cautiously.
[Player A]: Um... Boss Li... I'm so sorry... It's not that we don't want to change...
Li Yuntian: Why is that?! Do you think I'm not giving you enough? I gave you more food and water than Lu Ye did!
[Player A]: No, no, no... You did give a lot... But... Lu Ye... he... he doesn't want to take the scroll anymore...
Li Yuntian: (stunned for a moment) Not accepting it? Humph! He's smart! He knows he can't win against me...
[Player A]: No... He switched to a standard one-week survival kit... for... for five ordinary supply boxes...
Li Yuntian: What?! (He suspects he's seeing things) Five crappy boxes?! For a week's supply?! Are you sure you're not mistaken?! What kind of crap can come out of those crappy boxes?!
[Player A]: Absolutely true, Boss Li! And…and in the survival kit he gave me, besides plenty of food and water, it seems…it seems to have basic medicine! At least painkillers and bandages!
"drug?!"
When Li Yuntian saw these two words, his eyes almost popped out and a surge of evil fire rushed to his forehead.
He slammed his fist on the railing of the ship's side, making a loud "bang" sound, which scared the people around him.
Medicine?! He traded precious medicine for a pile of tattered boxes that even I couldn't even look at?!
This is impossible! Li Yuntian roared madly in his heart.
Even with a second-level nurse in charge, he didn't dare to squander medical resources like this! Why did Lu Ye do that?!
Where did he get so many pills?! He's definitely a liar! He's trying to trick people like this!
Li Yuntian: Medicine?! Lu Ye? He has no medicine! I'm telling you, if you idiots get tricked by him, you'll have no place to cry! Don't expect me to bother with you anymore! Now! Immediately! Get out of here!
After sending this message, Li Yuntian angrily closed the private chat interface, his face turned ashen and his chest heaved violently.
On the other side, Player A, who had just finished a "friendly exchange" with Li Yuntian, was patting his chest with lingering fear.
"Phew... I'm so scared. Li Yuntian is like a mad dog."
He muttered to his companions in the boat next to him.
"Hey, who cares!" His companion didn't care at all, his face lit up with excitement.
"Dude, we're making a killing this time! Five crates! A week's worth of food and drink! This is like pie in the sky!!"
Player A also immediately became excited.
"That's right! We worked so hard to open a dozen boxes, and we were lucky if we could get three to five days' worth of food. We still had to worry about attracting monsters or other players! Now, five boxes can be exchanged for a week's supply, and maybe even medicine!"
The companion nodded vigorously and began to calculate the bill.
"That's right! The drop rate for those scroll fragments is incredibly low! If you're unlucky, you might not even get one even if you've opened hundreds of boxes! Who has the time to gamble on that? Only a fool wouldn't trade five boxes for a week's supply!"
"What do you think Lu Ye is after? Can he make back his money by opening so many ordinary boxes?"
Player A is still a little bit unbelievable.
"Who knows! Don't try to guess what the boss is thinking!" The companion waved his hands, his tone becoming somewhat awed.
"Anyway, to us, Lu Ye... is like a living Buddha, a great benefactor to us low-level players! Hurry up and send him those dozen or so boxes we've saved!"
The two men no longer hesitated and immediately turned the boat around, heading towards the Breaking Wave, speeding away with hope.
In their opinion, Lu Ye's behavior at this moment is simply the most dazzling light in the doomsday.
On the deck of the Wavebreaker, there was still a bustling scene of activity.
However, as he watched the packages of packaged survival supplies, especially the painkillers and bandages that were clearly contained inside, being constantly traded away in exchange for those ordinary boxes that he thought were of little value, Xiong Ren couldn't help but show a hint of pain on his honest face.
He leaned towards the side of the boat, looked at Lu Ye's profile which seemed to be always calm, and spoke hesitantly.
"Brother Lu...are we really going to exchange the medicine like this? Using food and water, I think that's...that's enough..."
This is medicine! It can save lives in a critical moment! Just to exchange it for these broken boxes? What if we don't have enough in the future... Xiong Ren's heart was beating fast. In his opinion, this deal was really a loss.
Lu Ye didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, his gaze still fixed on the surging sea in the distance, as if the fish there were more attractive than Xiong Ren's worries.
His voice was flat, with a subtle hint of sarcasm: "What else? Keep it and wait for it to expire?"
