Gu Xi felt a little comforted as she watched the panic gradually subside on the world channel and more and more people spontaneously forming teams. However, she also knew that this was only a temporary calm, and the real crisis was far from over.
Just then, her friend notifications rang again. Opening them, she found messages from the businessmen who had previously expressed interest in attending the trade fair.
"Sister Xi, I didn't think things through before. Now I'm willing to continue participating in the exhibition!"
"Sister Xi, I've thought about it carefully and I think it's safer to stay with you."
"Sister Xi, do you think it's too late for me to go there now?"
As messages kept pouring in, Gu Xi frowned slightly. These merchants, who had previously withdrawn from the trade fair due to concerns about the threat from the Bone Clan, now wanted to return and grab a share of the profits, seeing that the situation had eased somewhat.
Although Gu Xi was somewhat disgusted by these people's fickleness, she could understand their worries and concerns. After all, safety was paramount in the deep sea. Moreover, the more people involved, the more confident the exhibition and sales activities would be.
After much deliberation, Gu Xi decided to give them a chance.
She replied to each of them: You can come, but I'm currently near the massacre site. If you dare to come, then come.
As soon as Gu Xi sent out his message, the previously enthusiastic businessmen suddenly became hesitant. Looking at Gu Xi's reply, their hearts were pounding with anxiety.
On the one hand, cooperating with Gu Xi and the Deep Sea Clan could bring huge benefits; on the other hand, the places where the Bone Clan appeared were far too dangerous, and their lives were seriously threatened.
Feeling conflicted, they created a small group chat and started discussing the matter.
"This... Sister Xi is actually in an area frequented by the Bone Clan? That's too dangerous!"
"Yes, what if we happen to run into the Bone Clan when we get there?"
"However, if we miss this opportunity, it will probably be even more difficult to get in touch with Sister Xi and the Deep Sea Clan in the future."
"How about we wait and see? Let's see how things go before we decide?"
Ultimately, some businessmen chose to give up, believing that safety was more important than profit. Others, however, decided to take a gamble and head to the sea area where Gu Xi was located.
Gu Xi looked at the constantly changing messages on her friend's profile and felt a mix of emotions.
Everyone has the right to choose, and this is not only a choice, but also a test, testing the courage and boldness of these businessmen.
She has given them the opportunity; whether they can seize it is up to them.
Gu Xi stepped into the Sea Ghost's office area again, and compared to before, it was noticeably more solemn and tense.
After numerous consultations and negotiations, both parties finally reached an agreement on the details of the exhibition and sales event. Ultimately, the event was scheduled for eight days later, which is the 130th day of the maritime calendar in human time.
"Eight days from now, we still have plenty of time to prepare," Gu Xi said calmly, looking at the schedule in her hand.
You Yin nodded in agreement.
“By the way,” Gu Xi put down his schedule and looked up at You Yin, “what is the attitude of the deep-sea tribes along the White Bone Clan’s escape route?”
Upon hearing this, You Yin's entire body flashed with light at a strange frequency: "What other attitude could it be? When it comes to the White Bone Clan, they're all trembling with fear."
It paused for a moment, then continued, "Those who were initially hesitant and almost didn't want to join the exhibition have now changed their attitudes immediately upon hearing about the Bone Clan. They are scrambling to join, afraid of falling behind."
Gu Xi listened, a disdainful smile appearing on his face. Some deep-sea creatures really are opportunists, swaying whichever way the wind blows. However, this is only human nature; in the face of absolute power, seeking advantage and avoiding harm is the way to survive.
