Chapter 22: Nobody Cares About the Team Card
The Meng Po soup must have been diluted: Tsk tsk, you guys aren't just angry because you couldn't get anything, are you?
Mystery Guest: You never think about anything serious all day long, you just want others to give you handouts. Before you came in, you were a beggar trying to scam money.
Shen Dixin also discovered Lu Mingang's name inside. His name was very similar to hers, and at first glance, it was quite easy to mistake him for Lu Mingang.
She had just finished eating the crayfish and was about to rinse the pot.
Looking up, I saw that Lu Mingang had stopped what he was doing at some point and was holding his breath, focusing intently on chatting with someone in the chat channel.
Shen Dixin chuckled to herself. Lu Mingang was so focused that he didn't even notice someone walking up to him. When he looked up, he was still sulking.
"Alright, there's no need to stoop to their level." Shen Dixin was unusually lively, and winked at him mischievously.
Lu Mingang felt his resentment subside considerably, but he was still quite unhappy when he thought about how Dixin was still criticized for selling items at low prices.
"Go beat them up, then no one will dare to raise their voice at me."
Shen Dixin smiled, but a sinister black mist seemed to rise behind her.
"Oh? What do we need to do?" Lu Mingang perked up. Although they hadn't known each other for long, he had a blind confidence in Shen Dixing; he was sure Dixing would find a way.
"this!"
【Item Name: Team Up Card】
Item Quality: Purple
[Item Description: You can use it to reach the next island with your friends.]
Chen Dixin handed over the team card, and Lu Mingang read the item description and instantly understood the rules.
As for the target of the deterrence, Shen Dixing finally chose the makeshift team because this guy genuinely harbored ill intentions towards Shen Dixing.
Spider Toast... Whether he's greedy or foolish, his saintly remarks are indifferent to Shen Dixing; at least on the surface, he hasn't shown any aggression.
Use the team card!
Lu Mingang was still waiting for the special effect, but the sea remained calm and unchanged.
"Dixin, will this be enough to lock onto that guy? When will we be able to get there?"
"Well, the team card isn't a navigation card, so it doesn't give any bonus to the ship. It only triggers when we encounter the next island."
Currently, the team card is not known to players, so no one is on guard against the islands they encounter.
A wild island is a rare find! Who would have thought we'd run into enemies there?
If the opponent encounters an island and doesn't play, then the team card is wasted, so Shen Dixin doesn't intend to reveal the effects of the team card to others.
Shen Dixin glanced at the channel one last time and posted a preview.
AAA Materials Wholesaler Lao Shen: @This world is just a makeshift operation; if you walk the dark road too much, you'll run into ghosts.
Then I settled down to organize the supplies, while the system continued to work diligently.
[Two planks and three ropes have been exchanged for four nails. The supplies will be stored in a temporary warehouse; please collect them promptly.]
[3 x 500ml mineral water have been exchanged for 1 x 10kg rice. Supplies will be...]
[Two electronic components have been exchanged for two gold nuggets and 11 iron nails. The supplies will be...]
Even with the system facilitating transactions, the exchanged goods still require manual processing.
The temporary warehouse provided by the system can only store data for 24 hours. After that time, the data is directly swallowed without any explanation.
Shen Dixin took stock of the current materials and was somewhat surprised; there were far more than he had expected!
Keep in mind that she had only been running her shop for a little over a day, yet the amount of materials she had collected had multiplied.
Shen Dixin, who had always been frugal, had never seen such a scene before. He touched his face, feeling a bit unreal. He thought to himself, "I guess I've become rich now."
I originally thought I would have to wait until the newbie protection period ended before I could upgrade my ship, but now that I've calculated it, I can upgrade it in just two more days!
[Materials required for ship upgrade: Planks (2670/3000), Plastic (1936/3000), Rope (58/50), Nails (27/50), Wire (31/50), Wire (29/50), Iron Plate (47/100), Gold Nuggets (16/30), Silver Nuggets (38/50), Copper Nuggets (21/50), Electronic Components (9/15), Alloy (3/5), Battery (8/5), Steel Reinforcing Bars (2/1), Concrete (0/1)]
Besides collecting upgrade materials for the third-level ship, Shen Dixin also made sure to replenish her daily necessities. Now, her living conditions on the ship are no worse than those in a small hotel!
With the constant supply of large amounts of fish and meat, they lived a very comfortable and enjoyable life.
She also collected some blueprints and learned them all herself. They were mostly disposable gloves, ropes, and nets for gaining experience, with no strategic blueprints.
While I was tidying up, another blueprint transaction arrived. I opened it and was overjoyed to see it was a latex mattress!
This is great! With it, I don't have to worry about rolling up the blankets underneath me into a mess at night, and I can sleep much more comfortably.
The mattress requires 4 rubber pieces, 10 plastic pieces, and 4 nails. It's not a small amount of material, but we're rich now!
Chen Dixin made two sheets with a wave of his hand.
Materials like rubber and canvas are temporarily useless, but precisely because they are useless, Shen Dixing has collected a lot of them.
There's no other way. If I don't exchange them, they won't breed if I keep them. At least I can get some food in return.
They even quoted a price for exchanging two wooden planks for one rubber sheet! How could we not exchange them?
Canvas can be used to repair large sails later, so you can never stock up on too much. Rubber will be needed to upgrade ships later, so stock up on it is a good material!
Shen Dixin specially found a wooden box to put the rubber and canvas. Looking at the large box of materials, her mood improved considerably.
This is the first time that Shen Dixin has truly filled a box with supplies!
Unlike other materials, which are either too small in size, even dozens of units stacked together do not take up much space.
Otherwise, they are too bulky and can only be stacked in a backpack. For example, her wooden boards and plastics, if all these things were stacked out, dozens of wooden boards could fill a wooden box.
In fact, all her materials piled up together amounted to two boxes, but they looked sparse when categorized. Chen Dixin's resource reserves were more than many players combined, but that would be meaningless.
She carefully moved the box to the bottom, and when she picked it up, she weighed it in one hand. Her 11-point strength was no joke; she could lift 200 pounds in no time!
The chat channel had calmed down thanks to Coffee's lead, since most people were still clear-headed.
In reality, even people who share interests may not be able to unite to resist anything, let alone players who act independently in a survival game.
It's possible that many people say they want to put pressure on Shen Dixing, but in reality, while others are on the front lines, they themselves continue to trade in Shen Dixing's shop without any hesitation.
At this moment, a player who had just finished making a taunt found himself blocked, and after cursing, he quickly slid to his knees.
Northern Wind: @AAA Materials Wholesale Lao Shen, boss! I was wrong! I didn't recognize your greatness. Please forgive my rudeness and remove me from your blacklist!
Northern Wind: Hey? Can you see me? Brother, I'm begging you, I have elderly parents and young children to support out here, I can't die here.
Shen Dixin smiled and did not release him.
They've already offended her. Is she supposed to be a good-tempered person? Even fence-sitters want to take advantage of her.
Shen Dixin simply didn't want a repeat of her past life, where she was isolated and helpless, and could only survive by offering tributes to the powerful.
She was a victim herself, so she doesn't want to harm others.
Creating a user-friendly platform is the most she can do; it's impossible for her to help everyone.
Since my good intentions have been rejected, let those people get soaked in the rain.
The Northern Wind's comment silenced many; they hadn't expected to be blocked for simply agreeing with a few words.
The players cursed inwardly, "What happened to the rule that 'the law doesn't punish everyone'? How can these unscrupulous merchants do business if so many people are blocked?!"
Many people wanted both, but Chen Dixin didn't forget about Coffee and others who spoke up for her, and sent them small snacks as a reward.
The Meng Po soup must have been watered down! Thank you, God of Wealth! Wishing Brother Chen great fortune, and may we all drink the soup together, haha!
Coffee or tea: No, no, I really can't accept this! You've already taken so much money from me today! If you take anything else, I'll risk my life for you!
Shen Dixin smiled knowingly; this person was indeed very sensible.
After receiving the latex mattress, Lu Mingang immediately forgot about his troubles and looked at Chen Dixin with bright eyes.
Shen Dixin had already quickly hung the OEM mattress in the store, and he naturally noticed it too; judging from the price, he knew the mattress wasn't cheap.
Dixin actually got one for him too!
She's so good to me!
Shen Dixin's head is a little dizzy after hearing so many nice things today.
I inexplicably felt like an ancient emperor, bestowing treasures everywhere and receiving flattery from his ministers and concubines in return.
Shen Dixin chuckled, amused by her own association, and helplessly tapped her head.
While people are at sea, their fate is in the hands of fate. What are you thinking about?
It seemed that Lu Mingang's mutterings had an effect, because in the distance, there was clearly an island in the shadows!
Shen Dixin gazed into the distance. The island wasn't very large, and all sorts of things could appear there.
"Don't cook anything that takes a long time, we'll be getting ready to go to the island soon," Shen Dixin instructed.
"Okay!"
Lu Mingang rubbed his hands together, his face contorted with a fierce aura, reminiscent of the intimidating presence he had when he first met Shen Dixing.
The anchor is still locked. It's hard to get the paper for this thing, but it's also useful, so very few people take it out to exchange.
Shen Dixin kept the raft moored with the sail, but unlike before, she no longer needed to worry about the raft drifting away when she reached the island.
"You need to take good care of the house while I'm away, and remind me if there are any special circumstances."
Chen Dixin squatted by the raft and spoke to Zhu Sha, who had surfaced. Zhu Sha listened attentively, nodding its little head repeatedly, almost as if it wanted to reassure its master.
Lu Mingang looked at Zhu Sha with a resentful expression. The reason Zhu Sha was so obedient was because she had just eaten a lot of delicious food.
Zhu Sha has a good nature, and its loyalty level immediately rose to 60 (it is willing to become your partner and is happy to help you with whatever it can).
It was indeed a good thing that Zhu Sha was closer to Chen Dixin, but no one cared that all the dishes were made by Lu Mingang, and that he even fed Zhu Sha each dish.
Lu Mingang: What happened to the saying "whoever feeds you is your mother"? Why is it still ignoring me?
