Global Transmigration: I Have SSS Talent

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Bargaining and Bartering Supplies

”Is there anyone here? Can someone tell me what’s happening? How did I end up in the sky?”

”Amitabha, oh God! Didn’t they say you’d only go to heaven after death? Am I dead already? I haven’t even paid off my mortgage yet!”

”Shen Mengting, where are you? I’m your husband, Wang Hongrui, please answer if you see this.”

”Wait a minute, where’s my husband?”

Too much information, many people lost their minds, crying and shouting blindly. Many were also searching for their families and relatives, hoping for some comfort.

Han Xing filtered through this information, knowing that suddenly coming to such an unfamiliar world is indeed hard to accept.

But if they don’t adapt quickly, what awaits them is the fate of running out of resources and either dying of thirst or hunger.

Of course, among the thousands of survivors in area 107’s channel, there were also some calm people who had already started exploring this unknown world.

Someone started seeking help: ”Help! I just touched a cloud, and the system indicated that there was a foul odor inside. Does this mean there is a monster inside?”

”You’re asking us, we don’t know either. Just go in and see for yourself!”

”Okay, I’ll go in and check.”

Two seconds later, a terrified cry for help came from the chat channel: ”Damn, it’s a Mud Slime!”

”Help! The slime jumped on me, it’s trying to absorb me into its body, I... glug... glug...”

”...”

The chat channel fell into a moment of silence, then someone cautiously asked: ”That guy, is he going to be suffocated by the Mud Slime?”

No one responded, but the possibility was high.

”Help! I also encountered a monster here!”

”Me too, there are a lot of monsters in the clouds!”

”These monsters are terrifying, how did that guy who got the first kill in the whole game do it?”

Despite these people’s good adaptability, they were still a few steps slower than Han Xing.

When he had already completed the server’s first kill, most people had just touched their first cloud.

Of course, not everyone had bad luck; some clouds didn’t have any danger at all.

”Hahaha, a bunch of unlucky folks! I didn’t encounter any monsters and even found food inside. If you want some, bring me water to trade!”

”I didn’t encounter any monsters either, and just opened a wooden box that had a Stalker’s green weapon inside, feeling ecstatic! Don’t ask me how to trade, I only want water and food!”

Han Xing pondered, realizing that the most scarce resources now should be water and food.

He entered the trading channel, where hundreds of trading messages appeared densely.

”20 Stone Blocks, can be thrown as hidden weapons, need food!”

”10 Slime Mucus, magic materials, for 200 milliliters of water!”

”1 One-star Beast Hide, fine leather, can be used to make equipment, for 3 units of water or food!”

”Beast Hide!” Han Xing’s eyes lit up, one of the materials his newly obtained backpack blueprint required was a One-star Beast Hide.

In ”Sky Island Paradise,” each player can equip two backpacks, and Han Xing can still equip one more now.

Moreover, with his ’Divine-level Artisan’ talent boost, the backpack he makes is likely to be stronger than the system-rewarded backpack just like the Wooden Arrow!

If he’s lucky, it might even have a special effect, greatly enhancing his survival capability!

However, the person selling the beast hide was asking for an exorbitant price, wanting 3 units of water, which is 3000 milliliters.

They had all just arrived in this world, who could readily provide so much water resource?

Han Xing knew this guy was deliberately setting the price so high, a kind of bargaining trick, so he clicked on private chat. The person’s username was ’Emperor Beifeng.’

Star River: ”Brother, three juicy fruits for a One-star Beast Hide.”

Emperor Beifeng: ”Three? Are you treating me like a beggar?”

Star River: ”Three is not too little, you can’t craft anything with the beast hide now, it’s better to convert it into usable resources quickly. In this world, ensuring your own survival is the most important thing.”

Han Xing started persuading, but the other party was unmoved.

Emperor Beifeng: ”No way! It took me tremendous effort, nearly losing my life, to get this One-star Beast Hide. At least ten juicy fruits, or no deal!”

Upon hearing this, Han Xing suddenly chuckled, ”Heh, you’re bluffing, right? Beast hides can only be looted from at least a One-star Beast. With your current attributes, there’s no way you could take on a One-star Beast. I bet you got lucky and found it on another Sky Island.”

Emperor Beifeng was a bit shocked: ”How do you know this well?”

Han Xing laughed lightly, of course, he wouldn’t tell the other party that he had actually played this game before.

Han Xing continued, ”So, a One-star Beast Hide isn’t some rare material. By tomorrow, if you want to sell it, it might not even be worth three juicy fruits.”

Of course, Han Xing was lying; beast hides, being main materials, are always in demand.

Emperor Beifeng seemed intimidated by Han Xing, cautiously asking: ”Re... really?”

He was a bit convinced by Han Xing, ”But three juicy fruits are still too few, how about... you add a bit more?”

”Alright, five juicy fruits, no more than that.”

”Deal!”

The other party hurriedly agreed.

[The survivor ’Emperor Beifeng’ has initiated a trade request with you.]

Han Xing clicked agree, both parties placed the items in the trade window and confirmed the trade.

In his backpack, five juicy fruits disappeared, and a brand new beast hide appeared on the territory ground.

A trace of delight appeared on Han Xing’s face, ”Great, now I have two of the materials needed to make the space backpack, now just missing Ether.”

Ether is a material that only drops from some magic monsters.

Han Xing checked the trading channel, finding that those selling this material were also asking for water and food.

On his territory’s juicy fruit tree, there were 19 juicy fruits left. To prevent unexpected situations, he couldn’t trade away any more of them.

However, while the juicy fruits couldn’t be traded, he had another ’big weapon’ in his hand.

[Sharpened Wooden Arrow!]

In a recent battle, Han Xing had already confirmed the power of the wooden arrow.

After three arrows triggered the special effect, it directly took down a level 1 monster Slime.

In the regional channel with tens of thousands of people, certainly many chose the Hunter profession, and they must be able to see the effect of the wooden arrow.

Sure enough, when Han Xing posted the consignment message, it instantly sparked a sensation in the chat channel.

”Damn! Refined quality wooden arrow, and with special effects!”

”Hiss! Its attack power is nearly double that of my wooden arrows, that’s really awesome!”

”Good news for those who chose the Hunter profession, get me some of these arrows, and I’d dare to challenge the monsters in the clouds!”

”Who has Ether materials on hand, go trade! This big shot is trading 10 Ether for one arrow now!”

...

In less than three minutes, all five wooden arrows Han Xing consigned were traded out, receiving a total of 50 pieces of Ether.

”Great, now I have all the materials needed to make the space backpack!” Han Xing’s lips curved into a smile.

Just as he was about to make the space backpack, two system notifications appeared in front of him.

[The survivor ’Cheng Jianyong’ requests to add you as a friend.]

[The survivor ’Shen Yun’ requests to add you as a friend.]
