Chapter 55 The Victory of the Channel: We Are Number One
Humorous: I burst into tears. I just reluctantly bought three bubble capsules.
Ancient Road, West Wind, Lean Horse: I support Sister Chen in regulating prices!! This stuff is way too expensive!! They dare to sell me four blue materials for one capsule, why don't they just rob me? Even the scavenger's double resource card isn't priced like this.
Ten years: Isn't that unnecessary? Does she want to control the prices of the entire channel all by herself?
Rouge: Why not? She's number one on all three lists. She has the ability. Who dares to argue with her?
Coffee or tea: Well done, Sister Shen! I've been fed up with them for a long time!
I scrolled through the chat channel many times, and it was almost unanimously in support of Chen Dixin.
Ultimately, it concerns personal interests. A couple more blue materials might not mean much to Shen Dixin, but to an ordinary player, it might represent the result of half an hour of hard work.
When faced with a situation where one must go into the water, if one cannot swim, the only solution is to buy bubble capsules from the sailors, grit one's teeth and pay an exorbitant price, swallowing the bitter pill, and accumulating resentment.
When the sailors who were reselling bubble capsules did not respond for a long time, Shen Dixin directly ordered people to drag them out one by one.
The crowd, always eager for drama, joined in the fray when they saw her firm stance.
Meanwhile, messages were flying through a group called "Sailors' Alliance," mostly tagging the group owner, Three-Headed Shark, asking him to come up with a solution.
Three-headed shark was being roasted on the fire, attacked from all sides, and his allies were also putting pressure on him. He couldn't hold out for more than half an hour before he came out to respond angrily, his words full of bluster.
Three-Headed Shark: Old Shen, don't go too far! Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. Can you bear being hated by so many people?
Three-Headed Shark: Sailors have it tough too. Unlike you guys who get experience so easily and have special rewards, we rely on these profession items to make a living! How about we compromise? I'm willing to sell at a 50% discount!
Tears welled up: Pfft, didn't the person upstairs forget to say, "We are all living life to the fullest"?
Luck is on my side: If you want to make dirty money, don't speak for all sailors. I get five job item boxes a day, and opening two or three bubble capsules is no problem. If I'm unlucky, I might get four or five. I didn't know they became so valuable.
Luck is on my side: Where are your accomplices? Why aren't they with you? They're probably just using you as a target.
Chen Dixin didn't care much. Since he was so stubborn, he might as well just block him.
By the way, players will be informed that any similar price-gouging behavior will be excluded from the trading scope.
A single, casual remark was enough to deter players from overstepping the bounds.
The few unscrupulous sailors who had just disappeared resurfaced, only to find themselves blocked. They all looked pained and remorseful, and many of them had even taken advantage of Chen Dixin's supplies.
She didn't soften her stance; disrupting prices was a precedent she couldn't set, especially since she had worked so hard to bring it under control.
Moreover, those who were blacklisted were all vetted and confirmed to be key figures in the sale of bubble capsules. As for the other players who were only involved and showed remorse, Chen Dixin didn't go that far.
Afterwards, as usual, Chen Dixin went to call "Fortune Teller" to thank her for speaking up for her.
The two exchanged a few polite greetings, and I seized the opportunity to strike up a conversation.
Perhaps because they had met in person, she was deeply impressed by the aloofness that Shen Dixing exuded, and she dared not be too familiar with her when she spoke to her.
Sometimes, "older sister" doesn't refer to age, but rather to a certain kind of temperament.
Luck is on my side: Sis, you've received the invitation to the bonfire party too, right? Are you planning to go?
Unsure if there were any dangers up there, I hadn't forgotten that it was a high-class island, and I was determined to go with Shen Dixin. So the two of us agreed to travel together.
I checked my email fortune again last time, and I received a letter from a parrot.
It is said that when the parrot came, her pet blue owl chased after it, mistaking it for prey. As a result, it was pecked so badly that a large bald patch appeared on its head, and it even complained that its owner didn't help fight it.
"You have pets too?" Shen Dixin asked, intrigued.
People who have children or pets at home inevitably talk about their kids when they go out. I, too, clearly enjoy this topic and can talk about it endlessly.
"It's too expensive, and it keeps pecking at my head. If it couldn't fly, at least it could help me see the world and chase away the birds, I really wouldn't want to keep this guy."
My words, though seemingly dismissive, were full of doting affection; I had already been captivated by the dazed Qingxiao.
Flying pets are indeed useful; their functionality is the strongest among the three types of pets. I envy my good fortune in having such a pet.
"No time like the present," Chen Di thought, "why not get another pet egg? With my family's wealth, raising several pets wouldn't be a problem."
Let's wait until the cinnabar wakes up and ask for its opinion before making a decision!
This is a very important matter. If the pets don't get along, not only will the later one fall out of favor, but even the one that was well cared for in the beginning will become estranged from its owner.
Shen Dixin went over to check on the cinnabar. It was still soaking in the water, motionless. Opening the details showed no status or progress bar, so she could only wait.
She guessed that this state wouldn't last long; Zhu Sha was still a baby and couldn't store much energy in her body. She would wake up in three days at most.
Shen Dixin clearly underestimated Zhu Sha's abilities; the little guy slept until the storm ended.
As the first rays of morning sunlight rose, it and Shen Dixing opened their eyes at the same time.
[The pet "Vermilion" has awakened some inherited memories, resulting in a slight increase in its life level: Constitution 4→6, Agility 9→11, Strength 8→10, and Health Points 140→210.]
[The pet "Vermilion" has learned the skill "Poison".]
[Toxin: A toxin that diffuses in water, causing mild paralysis in enemies.]
Chen Dixin yawned, squinting as he read the prompts and listened to the system announcements.
"Not bad, Zhu Sha is really great, she's become so powerful all of a sudden!"
After acquiring the inherited memories, Zhu Sha appeared much more composed, but it remained as affectionate as ever towards Chen Qingxin. Only a few days had passed, yet it clung to him as if they were long-lost friends.
[Dear players, the storm has passed, so you can take a short break now~ Will you miss the clear skies? Have fun at sea~]
The straightforward words were forced to exude liveliness, but no one was disgusted by them because everyone genuinely cherished the sunshine.
The storm lasted all day, and some people didn't even get to rest in bed. When it ended, they collapsed on the ground and fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes.
Pfizer: Great, it's dawn.
A thriving business: There are still 6451 people...
[Congratulations to Channel 9 in Region 12589 for having the most survivors during "Storm"! All players on this channel are rewarded with 3 Gold Supply Boxes, 2 Class Item Boxes, and 1 Free Attribute Point.]
[The game will undergo its first server merge at 12:00 noon. Matchmaking will be completely randomized, so please be prepared.]
At the same time, titles are also given to each player.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the unique title "Leader." This title is unlocked when the player's contribution to the channel's players exceeds 50% during the disaster. Wearing this title grants the "Respect of the White-Faced Man" perk.]
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the title "We Are Number One!", unlocked when the channel has the highest number of survivors in the disaster. Wearing this title grants a 20% experience bonus and +1 to all attributes. The title only takes effect when the conditions are met.]
[Congratulations, player! You have triggered the talent effect! Title: "We are number one!" x3!]
I never expected that having a large number of survivors would unlock such a useful title!
Hmm… This is a normal title notification. Shen Dixin glanced at it and suddenly realized something was wrong. Can titles also crit?
Perhaps it's because the title isn't unique, or perhaps it's a bug in the game... In any case, Chen Dixin now has two titles in his inventory.
She rested her chin on her hand, wondering how to use this. Titles can't be carried repeatedly, and everyone in our channel already has one! A critical hit is good, but it's useless.
People have titles, but what about pets? My gaze shifted to the room, and my heart stirred with anticipation.
When the title appeared on Zhu Sha's head, a shock hit my brain. Chen Qingxin remained silent, thinking, "This is possible...?"
There was really nowhere to use the last one. Chen Dixin tried hanging it on the Shadow Twin Blades, the Obsidian Armor, and the Moonlight Necklace, but all attempts failed.
Even sprites won't do; only beings with independent thinking abilities should be allowed to wear the title. Only after calming one's mind can one reach a conclusion.
"Purify the mind?"
Lu Mingang was completely bewildered, watching Shen Dixin catch a little elf and think seriously.
