"Sister, I found that they sell maps in the store, but the price is quite high. Should we chat with them privately?"
Early in the morning, before Lin Xue was even fully awake, she heard the wind chimes making a somewhat anxious sound.
"Um?"
"map?"
Where can I buy a map?
Her mind went blank for a second before she realized what the wind chimes were saying.
"It's in the mall, but the prices are very high; they're all high-end items, which we probably can't afford for now!"
"But sister, don't worry. There aren't many people as wealthy as us at Ocean Survival World. If we can't afford it, then no one else can!"
Fengling had a strange confidence in Lin Xue. Looking at the survivors in the world who were constantly complaining about being starving, she felt like she was living in paradise.
"Let me take a look first. I don't know what price they offered that scared you so much!"
Lin Xue arrived at her boundary marker, opened the shop, and found that the top-ranked merchant was selling maps.
[Eastern Region Nautical Chart, Quality: Gold, Price: 1 Thatched Hut, 100 Food, 100 Mineral Water, 100 Soil, 100 Seeds, 1 Water Purifier, 100 Clothing, 100 Iron, 100 Hemp Rope, 1000 Bamboo, 1000 Planks]
"Although this man is asking for an exorbitant price, this nautical chart is worth the price!"
"Wait a minute, let me message him privately first!"
Seeing the wind chime poking its head close to its boundary marker, Lin Xue subtly pushed it to the side.
"Sister, hurry up and message him privately. There must be a lot of people messaging him right now. He definitely can't sell at this price right now. He's probably trying to get the best price and is just fishing for customers!"
The truth is pretty much what Fengling thought; the person who sold the nautical charts for the eastern region really thought the same thing.
He sets a price that no one can afford, then invites interested buyers to contact him privately. Once they've all made their offers, he selects the most expensive one and sells it to them.
[6688: Hello, I'd like to buy your nautical charts for the eastern region. May we chat?]
[Please message me privately with your price!]
[6688: Thatched Hut x1, Basic Water Purifier x1, Food x200, Clothing x50, Fishing Net x1, Spear x10, Mineral Water x50, Potted Chili Pepper with Fruit x1, Potted Strawberry with Fruit x1, Potted Lettuce with Ripe Vegetables x1, Chicken Broth Instant Noodles x50, Noodles x20, Salt x2, Chicken Essence x1, Casserole x1, Oilcloth x1, Waterproof and Warm Suit x1]
[6688: What do you think of this price, bro?]
[Could you add a little more? Your bid is still a bit lower than the highest bidder's!]
Hearing what the other party said, Lin Xue was certain that her offer was the highest so far.
[6688: How about I send you some paper and pen? You can copy down the important points on the nautical chart. That way, even if you sell the chart to me, you'll still have a general understanding of the sea area you're in!]
[“Since you’re so sincere, then give me some more weapons, a few more spears and fishing nets. With those two, I can be self-sufficient!”]
Since the other party said so, it seems that they have agreed to Lin Xue's plan.
[6688: I'll give you one more fishing net and 10 more spears at most!]
【Add paper and pens to my inventory as well, as many as you need!】
【6688: Sold!】
[6688: Go change the price first!]
[You list the item in the shop, and I'll exchange it for an Eastern Navigation Chart!]
It seems that he was too lazy to type it all out himself, which is why Lin Xue had to do it.
[6688: No problem!]
She turned to the shop interface, placed all her items on a shelf, and finally set the price to Eastern Navigation Chart.
[Products: Thatched Hut x1, Basic Water Purifier x1, Food x200, Clothing x50, Fishing Net x2, Spear x20, Mineral Water x50, Potted Chili Pepper with Fruit x1, Potted Strawberry with Fruit x1, Potted Lettuce with Ripe Fruit x1, Chicken Broth Instant Noodles x50, Noodles x20, Salt x2, Chicken Essence x1, Casserole x1, Oilcloth x1, Waterproof Thermal Suit x1, White Paper x15, Terry Paper x20, Charcoal Pen x5, Calligraphy Brush x1, Ballpoint Pen x1]
Lin Xue and her group didn't lack these things; after all, she could take out small gadgets like these from her spatial storage.
However, items retrieved from the space cannot be traded at the boundary marker; only salvaged supplies can be traded.
[Beep beep beep, your item sold successfully and you have received 1 Eastern Nautical Chart]
As soon as Lin Xue hung up the item, it was immediately snapped up by the other side.
[Thank you so much for your generosity! I've saved the video footage of the nautical charts here, so you don't need to copy them manually. Wishing you great fortune!]
It seems that Lin Xue's price satisfied him very much, and he even sent her a thank-you note before leaving.
[6688: Add me as a friend, and remember to message me if you have anything good!]
【: Okay, boss, goodbye!】
After exchanging the goods with the other party, Lin Xue took out the Eastern Nautical Chart.
"System, scan this eastern nautical chart!"
Lin Xue unfolded the eastern nautical chart and spread it on the ground, then communicated with 629 in her mind.
"Host, the map has been successfully scanned."
"We are now in the eastern part of the region, almost at the edge of this nautical chart!"
629 scanned the map into its database, and like radar, it immediately reported its location.
If anyone else obtained this eastern naval map, they might not be able to pinpoint their location. It's only because Lin Xue has this cheat code—the system—that she can perfectly utilize this map.
"I gave this map to my mom. Do you have any way to locate her?"
Lin Xue looked through the entire map and realized that there were also some islands in this ocean survival world.
However, there are only one or two small islands in a large area, so it's probably very difficult for survivors to encounter such a place.
"Host, it seems like that won't work!"
629, who had been quite enthusiastic, immediately wilted upon hearing the host's words.
"I'll take a picture of the map first, then mark our location and send it to Mom!"
"If one day she can pinpoint her location, we can try to find her!"
I thought that having a map would allow me to find Ms. Lin, but who would have thought that the map didn't even have a location tracking function.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. No wonder that person was willing to sell the map.
This is kind of useless!
