Chapter 21 High Enthusiasm

Chapter 21 High Enthusiasm

Meanwhile.

In another corner of this ice field.

A middle-aged man with a stern gaze and eyes like a falcon stared straight ahead into the distance.

His fists clenched slightly, and he said in a cold tone: "Cao Xing!"

This person was none other than Fang Long.

Behind him, an elderly couple and a sexy woman were huddled inside the Lords Cabin warming themselves by the fire.

It was evident that Fang Long's family was currently doing quite well.

After all, through the previous few transactions, he had already gathered quite a lot of supplies.

Just at this moment, a Survivor named Ji Jun contacted Fang Long.

"Boss, that detestable brat actually really wrote down all of our names."

"Just now, when we went to trade with him, not only did he refuse us, but he also cursed at us."

Hearing this, Fang Long's expression turned even more livid.

Ji Jun continued to ask: "Boss, what should we do now? His bear meat increases so many attributes. If we don't have any, it's equivalent to falling behind others by a large margin, which is very unfavorable for our development."

Fang Long calmed the anger in his heart and said: "I know. Leave the bear meat matter to me; I'll figure something out."

After hanging up the communication, Fang Long frowned.

Although he said he would resolve it, for the time being, Fang Long didn't have any good solutions either.

Just then, a Survivor named Liu Zhenjie requested to add Fang Long as a friend.

Seeing this somewhat familiar name, Fang Long clicked agree.

"Boss Fang Long, I am Muxue's father, Liu Zhenjie!" Liu Zhenjie sent a message immediately.

Fang Long remembered that he had pursued Liu Muxue for a period of time in the past, but had been rejected by her.

"So it's Muxue's father. Uncle Liu, is there something you need?"

Liu Zhenjie quickly said: "Yes, of course there is!"

"It's about the information regarding that brat who offended you in the chat channel."

Hearing this, Fang Long instantly became interested.

"Uncle Liu, please go ahead and speak!"

A moment later.

After listening to Liu Zhenjie's account, an expression of keen interest appeared on Fang Long's face.

"Interesting. Turns out he's just a lowly driver. I actually thought this brat was some big shot!"

"A guy from the very bottom, coming to this world and thinking he can really turn his life around?"

"However, Muxue actually stays together with this fellow. That's something I didn't expect."

Fang Long said to Liu Zhenjie: "Uncle Liu, you did well. I'll trade this piece of beast meat to you first."

Seeing that there was food, Liu Zhenjie immediately showered Fang Long with thousands of expressions of gratitude.

After hanging up the private chat, Fang Long issued an order to the members of the Three Heroes Association at the first possible moment.

That was to search for Cao Xing's camp location.

…

At this time, Cao Xing did not know that Fang Long was searching for his camp coordinates,

because his screen had once again been flooded with all sorts of trade messages!

[Trade Successful: You obtained Skill Book: Ice Cone Jutsu, you lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 5]

[Trade Successful: You obtained Skill Book: Aurora Blessing, you lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 5]

[Trade Successful: You obtained Black Iron Plate Armor (Green) * 1, you lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 3]

[Trade Successful…]

This time, Cao Xing took out another 500 blocks of bear meat, which was 5000 portions, to trade.

When the trading session, which lasted for nearly an hour, came to an end, all 5000 portions of bear meat in Cao Xing's hands were sold out.

The consignment information on the market was also taken down.

The chat channel, which had been in a blazing state, suddenly saw the information that the bear meat was sold out, and was stunned for a moment.

Then those Survivors shouted excitedly: "Holy crap… It sold out so fast? I still didn't manage to grab any!"

"I didn't manage to grab any either, what a pity…"

"Ahhhhh! Great Lord Cao Xing, put up some more bear meat!"

"@Cao Xing, be sensible and put up some more bear meat, don't force me to beg you!"

…

Clearly, throughout the entire trading market, bear meat was still in a state of demand exceeding supply.

After all, the entire District 174 had over thirty, nearly forty thousand people.

And Cao Xing, all things considered, had only traded just over seven thousand portions of bear meat.

In other words, the people who successfully traded for bear meat accounted for less than one-fifth.

Although Cao Xing still had 500 blocks of bear meat in his hands, which could be divided into 5000 portions for trade,

this was what he kept as reserve food, or to exchange for some precious props.

Therefore, Cao Xing said in the chat channel: "Everyone, I don't have much bear meat left on hand either, so I cannot conduct large-scale trades anymore."

"However, if you guys drop some interesting items, you can private chat me."

"Blueprints, equipment, skill books, I accept all of these."

Cao Xing's words made those Survivors who failed to grab any ignite hope in their hearts once again.

"Turns out Great Lord Cao Xing still has bear meat on hand, that's fantastic!"

"You want skill books and blueprints, right? I'll go explore the snowfield right now!"

"This time, I must trade for bear meat! Charge!"

Right at this moment, Cao Xing offered a reminder: "Everyone, it's about to get dark now, so don't rush out to explore. Wait until we survive tonight, and go out tomorrow."

Prompted by this reminder, the Survivors also realized this point: "That's right, it gets colder when it gets dark, so we won't be able to move around outside."

"Very well, then let's go out tomorrow!"

The Survivors were in high spirits and full of enthusiasm.

Because of Cao Xing's bear meat, their enthusiasm for exploration was mobilized, which was a good sign.

Because this meant that more Survivors would collect supplies out in the wild.

And at the current stage, apart from Cao Xing, no one else had the strength to deal with Level 15 elite monsters, so his bear meat was still one of a kind.

After closing the chat channel.

Cao Xing looked at his harvest with satisfaction.

This time, he once again harvested 15,000 timber, 7,800 stones, 570 iron, 62 primary elemental crystals, plus 30 blocks of mithril!

Cao Xing took a glance at his territory's resource reserves.

[Food: Bread * 45, Snake Meat * 10, Wolf Meat * 106, Bear Meat * 500]

[Timber * 20764, Stone * 11135, Iron * 1022, Coal * 137]

…

Besides these, his backpack also contained 113 [Primary Elemental Crystals] and 50 Mithril!

A green weapon blueprint, plus a green plate armor top, as well as two skill books!

"Such a terrifying amount!"

"This amount of resources—when I was playing on the tablet before, it would take me about 20 days to collect this much."

And Cao Xing right now was equivalent to leading the other Survivors by nearly twenty days of progress!

"With the resources in my hands, I can even directly pull up a Level 3 Lords Cabin, and then I can unlock more buildings."

"However, a Level 3 Lords Cabin requires a Level 15 Large Smelter, and it's still way too early for that."

"Moreover, it's getting dark soon, so I'd better go back to hide inside the Lords Cabin first."

Cao Xing returned to the Lords Cabin once again.

Seeing him enter, Liu Muxue's face carried a shy expression, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

At this moment, as if remembering something, Liu Muxue said softly: "A-Xing, I have had contact with that Fang Long. He is a very sinister villain with ruthless methods, so you must be careful."
