When Lin Hu returned, Duan Linzhou was still chopping vegetables. Lin Hu first went to plant the things he had brought out in the soil outside before remembering the pile of octopuses.
Lin Hu opened the chat area, intending to find the person who had previously mentioned selling takoyaki. The person was anonymous, and Lin Hu hadn't looked closely at the time.
He had originally planned to buy a pot from the online store to make it himself, but the store is currently closed, and he didn't have enough time to search for it.
I don't know when the store will reopen.
[Lin Hu: Is the person who said they'd make takoyaki still around? I have a lot of octopus tentacles here.]
[Qian Xiaomo: I'm buying, handsome, how do you plan to trade?]
handsome guy?
Lin Hu was puzzled. After becoming anonymous, shouldn't the profile picture, name, and information be turned off?
How did this girl figure out he was a man?
Lin Hu didn't think much of it and replied: [Lin Hu: Add me as a friend.]
Qian Xiaomo: OK.
Lin Hu added the other person as a friend and was quickly accepted.
[Lin Hu: How much are you going to charge?]
[Qian Xiaomo: How much do you have? If you can supply us every day, we'd like to cooperate with you long-term.]
Lin Hu does want a long-term partnership, but there needs to be a source of goods. The raft has been soaked in chemicals, and the octopus has left. Where are we going to get the goods?
Then a sudden thought struck me: if the octopus leaves the wooden planks that have been dripped with the medicine, then why not just add a few more wooden planks that haven't been dripped with the medicine?
[Lin Hu: Just a moment.]
Lin Hu was worried that the other party might not be able to wait and would go to another party, so he sent a message to the other party to keep them calm.
He took some ordinary planks and extended the raft a few blocks out of it. After a while, an octopus tentacle wrapped around him from the seabed.
The octopus removed the ordinary plank furthest from his raft, and the plank, which was about to be removed, was ruthlessly thrown into the sea, drifting alone.
"Xiao Wei, catch it up." As soon as Lin Hu finished speaking, the rose vines stretched out, broke through the water, and scooped up the octopus, slamming it heavily onto the raft.
Lin Hu thought to himself, "Luckily, his raft is made of high-grade planks. Otherwise, how many times could his raft withstand such violent attacks from Rose?"
Lin Hu swiftly cut through the mess, delivering a direct critical hit.
After confirming that the method was feasible, Lin Hu gave the other party a reply.
[Lin Hu: How do you envision collaborating?]
Qian Xiaomo, on the other end, received a reply from the other party and assumed that the other party had already discussed it with Boss Zhou.
[Qian Xiaomo: I need 100 octopus tentacles every day. A level 1 octopus tentacle costs 80 level 1 crystal cores, and a level 2 tentacle costs 130 level 1 crystal cores.]
Lin Hu glanced at the message the other party had sent, and then, as if remembering something, replied: [Lin Hu: Add a condition: if the octopus appears less frequently or not at all, I can terminate the cooperation.]
[Qian Xiaomo: Deal.]
Qian Xiaomo thought it was fine. Anyway, they could only make money by being the first to market with these takoyaki. After all, many people would follow suit.
Moreover, his transaction wasn't entirely about the octopus; he at least successfully obtained Lin Hu's contact information.
[Ding! Attention all players! The system will revoke the anonymity of all players in all channels and remove the raft protection mechanism. Players will meet at sea.]
In addition, players need to pay attention to their country's important holidays.
Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Lin Hu remembered that before Qian Xiaomo added him as a friend, he had directly called him "handsome guy" in the trading area.
Did they already disable anonymity back then?
What a terrible survival system!
Qian Xiaomo on the other side also realized what was happening. He was initially puzzled that Lin Hu, who was considered a big shot, didn't hide his information.
Now he understood; it wasn't that others weren't hiding their true intentions, but rather that the survival system was playing tricks.
[Ding! Attention all players, the Dragon Boat Festival is in two days. At that time, all players will be divided into two groups and teleported to two different competition zones to participate in the dragon boat race with prizes.]
Lin Hu was speechless. The survival system gave another notification. He had no time to care about dragon boats or prizes.
Lin Hu opened the store to check and found that his homepage was still showing Linghu Department Store. After clicking into the two stores and confirming that only the store names were displayed and there was no store owner information, he finally felt relieved.
Thinking that the players would meet him at sea, Lin Hu looked at the roses beside his raft and felt much more at ease.
Then, remembering something, he opened his backpack, looked at the propeller set inside, dragged it to the raft construction area at the survival system raft control point, and placed it under the raft.
A set of propellers consists of four, which are placed under the four corners of the raft.
When Duan Linzhou came out, he saw Lin Hu busy, so he didn't disturb him. He went back to continue cooking, planning to chat later.
On the Linhu system raft operation interface, after attaching the propeller, I sat on the rocking chair outside and switched from the friend interface with Qian Xiaomo to the chat group.
The regional channel has erupted in chaos due to the system notification:
[Xiang Cheng: Are you sure you're not anonymous anymore?]
[Yao Zong: Really? Really? I want to know too.]
[Wang Fuhua: Yao Zong upstairs, and Xiang Cheng upstairs from there.]
[Zhao Shizhe: What does the system mean by the dragon boat race? Do we have to row our own boats?]
[Zhang Hui: What should I do? I can't row a boat.]
[Zhu Yu: That's great! I used to be on the dragon boat team.]
[Wang Xin: Dragon boats need teammates, @Zhu Yu, how about we team up?]
Chang Hai: Hey bro, are you on the dragon boat team too? Count me in.
[Wang Ronghua: It's definitely not just about rowing. There are so many people in the world, not everyone can row a boat. The system wouldn't assign us such an impossible task.]
[Zhang Fan: Yes, the guy upstairs is right, it's actually a competition with prizes. Since it's related to the Dragon Boat Festival, is it possible it's related to zongzi (sticky rice dumplings)?]
Chang Hai: Are they going to have a competition to wrap zongzi (sticky rice dumplings)?
[Ling Feifei: Don't talk nonsense upstairs. I don't even know how to row a boat or wrap zongzi.]
[Zhang Wei: The truth will be revealed in two days. Discussing it here won't get us anywhere, so let's just wait patiently.]
Lin Hu recognized the ID name, clicked on it, and checked the profile. He found that it wasn't Zhang Wei, who was among his friends.
As expected, Zhang Wei has the most common name in the world.
Duan Linzhou carried the prepared food to the table outside one by one. Lin Hu then realized that he had been browsing the chat area for an hour. He quickly got up and went inside to help get the bowls and chopsticks.
During the meal, Lin Hu also talked to the other party about the system's notification earlier. Duan Linzhou had come out earlier because of the system update.
Lin Hu explained the propeller issue to the other party and reassured them.
After adding this propeller to their raft, even if they encounter other players, they can simply turn around and leave them in the dust.
