Chapter 19 Booming Trading Market

Chapter 19 Booming Trading Market

It was clear that everyone in the chat channel was troubled by the issue of food.

They had no idea how to acquire food.

In fact, during the newcomer protection period,

there were some low-level wild monsters around everyone's camp, which were also the source of food in the early stage.

Because they were a family team, all four of them had combat capability.

If they fought together, it wouldn't be a problem to deal with level one or two wild monsters.

But because of their excessive fear or poor adaptability, they didn't dare to step too far out of the snow-covered range, let alone fight those wild monsters.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly appeared in the chat channel.

"Look quickly, Fang Long from the Three Heroes Association is starting to sell food again!"

"100g of beast meat in exchange for 100 pieces of wood or 50 pieces of stone. Weapons and equipment take priority. Whoever has extra materials, go exchange for it quickly!"

"Damn… This is too expensive. All my resources combined don't even add up to that much."

"What does the brother upstairs know? Do you know how precious food is right now? Can those resources compare to your own life?"

"That's right, if you don't buy it, plenty of people will!"

"Don't fight me for it! I'm fucking starving to death!"

…

Looking at the chat channel, Cao Xing was lost in thought.

The food consigned by Fang Long was a piece of wild boar meat. Although his listed price was outrageous, it was still snatched away in less than three seconds.

Cao Xing thought to himself: "Selling 100g of beast meat at such an expensive price is equivalent to hollowing out the resources of an entire camp."

"And the person who traded the supplies, although they can recover a little satiety, will have a miserable time next."

"They will likely fail to develop due to insufficient resources."

"Even if they manage to develop, they will probably fall behind by several days of progress. Once the newcomer protection period passes by then, it will be GG."

Cao Xing checked the records.

This seemed to be the seventeenth time Fang Long had sold food.

One could imagine how many resources he had gathered through these few transactions.

Cao Xing continued to think: "The size of the wild boar is about the same as a snow wolf, which means the meat he has left in his hands shouldn't be much."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing also posted a trading message on the market.

[Consigned Item: Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 100g, First consumption: Strength + 2, Constitution + 2]

[Required Items: Wood * 10, Stone * 5, Iron * 1, Mythril and Elemental Crystals, etc. Can trade in large quantities!]

[Consigner: Cao Xing]

[Seller's Note: Bear meat that can increase hunger and attributes. Large stock available. Purchasing all kinds of materials, blueprints, skill books, and equipment.]

Then, Cao Xing began to set the prices for various items.

1 Elemental Crystal = 1 piece of bear meat.

1 piece of Mythril = 1 piece of bear meat.

Equipment blueprint = 5 to 10 pieces of bear meat.

Skill book = 5 to 10 pieces of bear meat.

Cao Xing recorded the items one by one, even adding bullets, and all of them had clear prices.

At this moment, many Survivors in the regional channel who had already built the [Market] suddenly noticed the bear meat consigned above.

Then they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Huang Qiufeng: "Holy shit! Blue-grade bear meat can even increase attributes!"

"Brothers, go take a look at the market! Someone is selling bear meat that adds attributes!"

Hearing this news, many Survivors felt a bit dazed.

"What? Meat that adds attributes? How come I've never seen this kind of thing?"

They opened the [Market] at the first moment, and then were all shocked by the consignment information above.

"Oh god! It's real!"

"This price is also so cheap. 10 pieces of wood can exchange for 100g of bear meat, and 1 Elemental Crystal can even exchange for an entire piece of bear meat!"

"Oh my god? Is this fake? Is this person doing charity?"

The eyes of these Survivors were filled with disbelief.

After all, they all knew how terrifying the price of food had reached now.

Moreover, this was bear meat that added attributes!

However, they soon knew that this was true.

A Survivor named Yang Lin excitedly said: "Holy shit! I exchanged for it! I exchanged for it!"

"I directly exchanged 50 pieces of stone for a whole piece of bear meat, enough for my whole family to boost their attributes!"

"What?"

When the first Survivor successfully traded,

the other Survivors started crazy trading at the first moment.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! I traded successfully too! 10 pieces of iron can exchange for a whole piece of bear meat. This is so awesome!"

"Elemental Crystals, whoever has Elemental Crystals, one can exchange for a whole piece of bear meat, go quickly!"

"I exchanged a skill book for 5 pieces of bear meat. So powerful!"

"…"

At this moment, the regional channel completely entered a state of madness.

The Survivors who snatched the bear meat were extremely excited.

They all knew how profitable it was to exchange these supplies for bear meat.

Someone even posted the information about the bear meat on the world channel, making other Survivors not in District 174 extremely envious.

Ed Stafford: "Oh! My god, it's actually bear meat. I haven't fought a bear in my entire life."

Qiu Weichao: "It adds so many attributes. For warrior classes, it is simply a Gospel."

Shuichiro Deguchi: "Baka! Why am I not in District 174? Why hasn't anyone in our District 11451 dropped this kind of bear meat?"

As for Cao Xing, he was also being flooded with crazy trading information.

[Trade successful: You obtained Iron * 10, You lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 1]

[Trade successful: You obtained Stone * 5, You lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 100g]

[Trade successful: You obtained Soldier Standard Longsword Blueprint (Green) * 1, You lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 5]

…

The prices set by Cao Xing were very user-friendly. Even if you only had a small amount of supplies, you could still trade with him.

For a time, almost all Survivors in District 174 got the news.

After all, the earlier you consumed such items that could boost attributes, the more it would increase your safety in this world.

Cao Xing practically watched his territory's resources growing wildly!

In a short while,

he obtained 5,400 wood, 3,200 stones, 342 pieces of iron, 43 Basic Elemental Crystals, plus a green blueprint, and 20 pieces of Mythril!

These resources might not even reach this amount even if 12 Arctic People mined at full capacity for nearly half a month.

And so far, he had only paid out a total of 215 pieces of bear meat.

In Cao Xing's backpack, there were still a full 1,000 pieces of bear meat left!

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help swallowing hard: "I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm completely rich this time!"

Seeing the materials in his backpack, Cao Xing decided to use them to boost his strength first.

First upgrade the [Bonfire], then upgrade the [Lords Cabin].

Then upgrade the [Arctic People Cabin], and recruit more Arctic People to come out and work.

After that, Cao Xing could even build powerful structures like the [Basic Elemental Arrow Tower], greatly enhancing the territory's defensive capabilities.

Therefore, Cao Xing suspended the transaction in the market. He was going to call back all these Arctic People to prepare for upgrading the buildings.

Hearing Cao Xing's call, those Arctic People successively put down their work and walked toward the camp.
