Chapter 228
Qiao Sheng and his four companions were not troubled by this. Sharks had never come to visit the reinforced ship. Lin Haiyang was still eager to try, waiting for the sharks to come quickly. He even tricked the monks to go to the terrace and stare at the sea. His trick was so simple that others could not bear to watch.
When the monks were eating, he pointed at the shark meat buns in the rice bowl and said that when they were free, they should stare at the sea. When they saw sharks approaching, they should call him, and then there would be endless buns for them to eat.
This big cake painting was actually very unskillful, but there were still fools willing to listen, except for Su and Ah Dai who were still resting on the sofa in the cabin.
The others, one by one, would stick their heads out from the second-floor terrace every day to look out.
While Qiao Sheng and the others were busy fishing and collecting basic supplies, a large amount of shark meat was flooded into the trading system.
Shark meat was once avoided by players because of its high risk factor of hunting. Anyway, as long as you don't go into the water, sharks won't attack the boat.
But now it's different. You just sit on the boat safely, and sharks will harass you all day. Players began to brainstorm.
In order to sleep peacefully, they had to expand the perimeter of the boat twice, wasting basic materials such as wood and plastic, and they couldn't sleep until midnight, otherwise they would fall into the mouth of sharks.
There was some effect. Except for the first two days, there were some people on the world channel who posted about their teammates being eaten by sharks, and some people saw nearby ships being demolished by sharks. From the second day on, players organized shark fishing activities.
They used various weapons at hand to kill sharks bit by bit. During the day, they would chop the sharks twice when they approached. At night, they would wake up in their sleep, jump up when they heard the sound, pick up the machete at hand, and rush over to chop twice.
The effect was also significant. Two days later, there were many more shark meat sellers in the trading system, but they were all cut into pieces, ranging from one kilogram to five kilograms of shark meat.
Qiao Sheng and his team also saw it, but because the proportions were not easy to calculate, they took these orders.
After the first batch of shark meat orders were exchanged, the world channel was full of curses.
[7362: That player 609, come out quickly, you black-hearted businessman, why did you sell us smelly shark meat? You have bad intentions. ]
[26832: I thought there was something wrong with my taste and smell, but fortunately I only exchanged one kilogram. How can such an expensive thing be so unpalatable! The seller, come out and explain. ]
[382: Don’t you know that sharks don’t have a urinary system? When they die, urine enters their flesh and blood, so they smell fishy. The price is still so expensive, I can tell at a glance that they are fooling people who don’t know the business! The only part of the shark that tastes good is the shark fin, and that 609 didn’t even have any shark fin. 】
【609: Don't talk nonsense. How do I know that shark meat is smelly? I kept shark fins because these places are expensive. If I die, no one will exchange them. Besides, we can't catch fish now. Shark meat is good enough. Who cares about the taste? The nutritional content is the same. It's the same even if you hold your nose and swallow it! 】
This shameless rhetoric made other players attack him. For a while, no one cared about the shark meat order placed by player 609.
As everyone knew that shark meat was not delicious, and other players also successfully hunted sharks, the exchange rate of shark meat was ridiculously low in one day.
At this time, Li Mu took out the supplies and bought most of the shark meat in the trading system at the price of one plank for five catties of shark meat and two planks for a whole set of shark entrails. He didn't buy all of them because he didn't want to be too conspicuous.
However, some players still discovered his looting.
Xia Beibei used the world channel as a bullet screen to collect supplies with a colander, and did not forget to read the new news on the world channel to Qiao Sheng and others.
She happened to see someone asking player No. 18 on the world channel why he was picking up shark meat. It was estimated that he either knew how to eat it or had some idea. After all, player No. 18 was a big boss in the eyes of others.
Li Mu heard this but didn't say anything. He just walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took out a bunch of tomatoes and lemons, then used the supplies to redeem all the shark meat orders in the trading system.
[18: When cooking shark meat, you can add tomatoes and lemons to neutralize the taste of urea, so you can eat enough when you are really hungry. Tomatoes and lemons have been put on the trading system, and those who need them can redeem them by themselves. ]
A stone caused a thousand ripples, and the orders for tomatoes and lemons were quickly snapped up. Embarrassingly, the orders for shark meat on the market were also gone. Fortunately, no one noticed that it was player No. 18 who bought the goods in advance.
There were still many shark meat orders placed later, but it was very difficult to raise the ratio after it dropped. A large number of players would rather use planks to exchange for coarse grains than eat shark meat.
Seeing that the ratio of shark meat was getting lower and lower, Lin Haiyang also gave up the idea of hunting sharks himself. It was troublesome and tiring. It was better to go fishing or collect some planks to exchange. This was the most convenient and quickest way to get shark meat.
After the game was upgraded, in the first week of autumn, the number of fresh fish products in the trading system dropped sharply, but there were more and more orders for various coarse grains, and the demand for products also changed from a variety of products to a single basic material.
All players spontaneously collected supplies frantically, trying to strengthen their ships as quickly as possible.
Qiao Sheng and his team had no shortage of food, but because they were discussing increasing the number of cannons and catapults, the consumption of supplies suddenly increased. The work efficiency of four people was indeed higher than that of two people, especially with Xia Beibei, who was good at everything. Lin Haiyang had no advantage in fishing and scavenging, but he took on the logistics work.
Qiao Sheng was freed from the kitchen work and brought a bunch of equipment that increased his luck. Although he was not as efficient as some koi and European emperors, he was faster than ordinary players.
There was no fresh fish in the trading system, so Player 18 went out again, not much every day. Taking advantage of the high proportion of fresh fish, he placed 100 orders every day. The quantity was not large, so it was easy to complete.
Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei didn't know how many sieves they had consumed. There were hundreds of drift bottles, but they couldn't open the pattern, so Xia Beibei opened it as a toy. Facts have proved that even if the brocade carp is used for fun, it is suspected of bullying ordinary players.
The basic materials and coarse grains of the bottle are also very scary, especially she can also explode rare metals, so they have to continue to make storage cabinets and refrigerators to store these things.
During this time, they also went to the island once and met other players. Fortunately, they were careful. They thought that it would be bad enough to start the slaughter mode in the game.
Unexpectedly, there were problems between players. Because of the shortage of resources, players had to compete with each other. The peaceful ones chose whoever arrived first would take it first, but there were always some players with war genes. When they saw good things, they wanted to grab them, so there was a competitive relationship between players. If you are not careful, you may be hurt by other players before you are hurt by the beasts.
This is what Qiao Sheng and his friends encountered. They went to the island originally to cut some wood and pick up some stones as bullets. As soon as they got off the boat, they felt that they were being watched.
After entering the forest, they were on alert. Lin Haiyang and Xia Beibei were the ones cutting wood, while Li Mu and Qiao Sheng were on guard. They cut wood frantically and picked up the fallen supplies frantically.
While Qiao Sheng was busy, he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air behind him. The four of them moved quickly. Lin Haiyang chose to lie down on the spot, and Qiao Sheng and the other two chose to hide behind the trees.
The arrow finally hit the tree where Xia Beibei was hiding. While they were hiding, You Su and Ah Dai had already escaped.
Qiao Sheng and Li Mu slightly poked their heads out and used the tree trunks to check the direction of the enemy. Because the trees in the forest were too dense, they observed for a while but still could not see the enemy's position.
Su and Ah Dai were still the best and found the enemy's position before them.
It was not until the enemy was attacked by them and made a sound that they exposed themselves. Qiao Sheng was speechless when he saw them. No wonder they could not see them. One of them was on a tree, hiding in the leaves, and the other was lying in the bushes. The point was that they didn't know where they got two sets of ghillie suits, and after putting them on, they blended into the surrounding environment.
Qiao Sheng and his men rushed over quickly, knocked the two men down, and tied them up with hemp ropes. Xia Beibei slapped the man who was shooting arrows at her in the bushes on the head: "You are eating chicken, but you are wearing ghillie suits. If I had a frying pan, I would definitely hit you on the head!"
"Isn't the frying pan for eating chicken used to block bullets? Red Wolf's frying pan is used to hit the head, you remembered it wrong." Lin Haiyang was tying people up, and he couldn't help but join in when he heard her words.
There was nothing wrong with this join, except that he was kicked by Xia Beibei. He was used to Xia Beibei's movements from time to time, and he turned sideways, so her shoe prints were imprinted on his pants, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
Qiao Sheng put his sword on the two players and asked them what they wanted to do. The two players did not expect to encounter a tough opponent. They had successfully ambushed many people on this island and made a lot of money. They originally wanted to repair the ship after finishing this task and continue to float on the sea, but they did not expect that the ship capsized here.
When Qiao Sheng asked, the two of them didn't say anything at first, which made Xia Beibei's face swollen with slaps before he told the truth. On the issue of whether to keep such a person, the four of them were unanimous.
There is nothing we can do if the disaster is not seen, but if it is encountered, it must not be left behind. It was Li Mu who took action. The two players wearing ghillie suits turned into two white lights and disappeared in the next second.
"Teacher Li, you're too quick. I was just about to tell you to wait, but you were stabbed. Luckily, I wasn't slow either. I took off their backpacks before they did." Lin Haiyang showed off, shaking the two backpacks in his hands.
Xia Beibei took one, and the two of them looked through it. If the two of them didn't have the habit of carrying all their belongings on their bodies, they would have just robbed a group of people. The bag was full, and there were several storage boxes inside. They were all full when they were opened. There weren't many good things, but a lot of basic supplies.
Lin Haiyang said that it was Teacher Li's fault, otherwise it would have been great to take off the ghillie suits on the two of them.
"What do you want a ghillie suit for? Do you want to be Voldemort? Ambush players? You don't want this lackey anymore." Xia Beibei looked at Lin Haiyang with a tut-tut sound, as if he was already a useless person.
He was so scared that he quickly explained that with a ghillie suit, he could observe secretly and avoid being ambushed by others.
