Chapter 20: Harvest, Conflict of Interest

Meanwhile, seeing that the bear meat trade had suddenly been taken down from the chat channel, the Survivors instantly fell into a panic.

Guo Yichen: "Damn, why was the bear meat suddenly taken down! I haven't even bought any yet?"

Luosha: "I didn't get any either. I just got the news that someone in the market is selling bear meat that adds attributes."

Shuye: "Ahhhh! Could the bear meat in Great Lord Cao Xing's hands already be sold out?"

"Quickly tag Great Lord Cao Xing!"

In the regional channel, that group of people was frantically tagging Cao Xing.

Yue Zejun: "@Cao Xing, Hubby! Say something!"

Lu Yueyue: "@Cao Xing, Big Shot, don't be so cold, come out quickly and comfort this little sister's fragile heart."

Huang Ling: "@Cao Xing, Little brother, do you need a thigh-hanger?"

At this moment, Cao Xing was assigning tasks to the Arctic People, upgrading the [Campfire] and upgrading the [Lords Cabin], and wasn't paying attention to the chat channel.

Seeing that Cao Xing did not reply, that group of Survivors instantly grew anxious.

"Things are bad, brothers. Great Lord Cao Xing ignored us. Could it really be sold out?"

"We're screwed. I was saying earlier that I'd wait for him to lower the price a bit before buying, and now look, it's completely sold out."

"That was what I planned to do too. We've really lost out big time now…"

At this time, a Survivor named Yu Jun said: "A bunch of idiots, still wanting to wait for others to lower prices, and you don't even look at what kind of meat this is!"

"Items that can add attributes are hard currency no matter when it is."

"Besides, Great Lord Cao Xing's prices are already set very fairly!"

Liu Hui: "Yeah, Great Lord Cao Xing's price is really fair. When I bought 100g of beast meat from Fang Long before, it almost hollowed out all my assets."

Huang Shihong: "That's right, Fang Long's price is really fatal. Buying once is equivalent to going bankrupt."

Right at this moment, a cold voice appeared in the regional channel.

Fang Long: "Did someone just say that the meat I sell is expensive?"

"Do you know how difficult it is for so many brothers under my command to spare a little food for trade?"

"In order to keep you from starving, I took out precious food to trade, and yet you actually say that my prices are expensive?"

The chat channel instantly fell silent.

Most of the people here were from Xiangjiang, and they all knew the fierce reputation of the Three Heroes Association.

This was a notoriously famous underworld force.

Aside from Fang Long, there were two other gang leaders, every single one of them a brutal character.

Therefore, they named themselves the Three Heroes Association.

At its peak, this gang once reached thousands of members, and its formidable reputation spread across all of Xiangjiang.

Seeing that no one spoke, Fang Long continued with a sneer: "Behave yourselves, and take a look at who the boss of this area is!"

"From now on, anyone who wants to trade in this area must get our consent, otherwise we'll show you!"

At this time, a Survivor named Chen Minhao said: "Fang Long, aren't you being too overbearing?"

"You sell your own things so expensively, yet you don't allow others to sell?"

Fang Long: "You're right, we are just this overbearing."

"What do you think our Three Heroes Association does?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the Survivors all changed.

That's right, a gang like the Three Heroes Association was never anything good to begin with, and collecting protection money was also one of their means of gathering wealth.

Clearly, Cao Xing selling bear meat in large quantities had infringed upon their interests.

Fang Long sneered: "Let me tell you, there are hundreds of brothers from our Three Heroes Association in this area. Sooner or later, we will run into each other in the future."

"You better think clearly about the consequences of offending us."

At this time, members of the Three Heroes Association jumped out one after another and said.

"Support Boss Fang Long!"

"All of you fucking behave yourselves!"

"Channel 174 will be run by our Three Heroes Association from now on!"

Seeing so many people jump out, the Survivors suddenly realized this point as well.

They were now in the same area as the Three Heroes Association.

As they gradually developed outward later on, everyone would meet together sooner or later.

And the Three Heroes Association, which naturally possessed hundreds of people, was the largest force in this area.

If they offended them, their own territories would be in danger in the future!

For a time, everyone was somewhat afraid to speak.

And right at this moment, Cao Xing also opened the regional channel.

As soon as he saw the chat above, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

I fucking just arranged some work and came back, and now you won't even let me do business?

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and said directly: "Everyone, I had something to take care of earlier and left for a while. Trade continues now."

Before the other Survivors could speak.

Seeing Cao Xing appear, Fang Long directly said: "Did you not hear what I said? I told you not to continue trading."

Cao Xing calmly replied: "On what grounds? You say stop trading, so I should stop trading?"

Fang Long: "Kid, don't play dumb there. You're from Xiangjiang, you should have heard of the name of our Three Heroes Association."

"District 174 is our territory now."

Hearing this, Cao Xing paused for a moment, then laughed: "What Three Heroes Association, Three Birds Association, this fucking isn't even Blue Star anymore, what are you still putting up a front for?"

"Brothers, don't be afraid of this group of silly birds. Continue trading as usual. The amount of bear meat in my hands is limited, first come, first served."

"Right, you idiots from the Three Birds Association, don't trade with me. We've already reached the new world, yet you're still acting as dogs for others—go ask your master for meat to eat!"

Cao Xing's words were like poking a hornet's nest.

It provoked a frenzied verbal abuse from that group of members of the Three Heroes Association.

Zhang Wei: "Cao Xing, I *&*%"

Xu Haocheng: "I…&%…&"

Happily waiting for them to finish cursing, Cao Xing chuckled and said: "Is there any more?"

"Is this all the people the Three Heroes Association has?"

Provoked by Cao Xing like this, there was another wave of screen-flooding curses, and the entire Channel 174 was almost monopolized by these people's messages.

They frantically attacked Cao Xing with words.

At this time, a system prompt appeared in front of them.

[Because you have repeatedly used uncivilized language, your chat permissions have now been revoked. Remaining time: 3 days…]

Those cursing Survivors were dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that even after coming to another world, there would still be a mute function.

For a time, this bunch of Survivors from the Three Heroes Association were muted on a large scale, and the entire chat channel gradually quieted down.

And Cao Xing kept provoking them continuously.

Causing even more Survivors from the Three Heroes Association to be muted.

Seeing that the situation was getting increasingly wrong, Fang Long came out and said: "Everyone stop talking, don't fall for this kid's trick!"

Although Fang Long spoke up to stop them, that wave just now had already resulted in over two hundred people being muted by the system for three days.

For the prestige of the Three Heroes Association, this was quite a significant blow.

Fang Long said in an icy tone: "Kid, your name is Cao Xing, right? I've remembered you. I hope you won't regret this in the future."

However, Cao Xing completely ignored his threat and laughed: "You remembered me?"

"Great, I've remembered you guys too. The names and ID numbers of those guys who were just cursing at me have all been recorded by me."

"From now on, don't even think about trading anything from me."

Completely ignoring Fang Long's threat, Cao Xing began putting items back on the shelves.

And those Survivors, watching Fang Long fall silent, once again started snatching items frantically one by one!

"Brothers, hurry up and grab it! Great Lord Cao Xing said that the bear meat is limited this time, if you're late it'll be gone!"

"F*ck! I must grab some this time!"

"Charge!"

Enthusiasm ran high in the chat channel.

And the messages from the Three Heroes Association were quickly submerged by the massive wave of Survivors.

On Cao Xing's side, he once again received screen-flooding trade notification sounds.
