Global Transmigration: I Have SSS Talent

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Water Crisis

[Skill Book Acquired: Holy Light Healing (Holy Profession Exclusive)]

Although it wasn’t a Hunter’s skill book, Han Xing remembered that Shen Yun seemed to choose the Holy Profession.

At this moment, someone suddenly private messaged him in the trading channel, saying they wanted to trade for his green longbow.

”Oh? Has someone finally got a green equipment blueprint?”

Han Xing opened the private message and found it was from someone named ’Clever Little Sheep’.

A piece of voice message appeared in the private chat window, and Han Xing clicked play.

”You... hello... I want to trade for your weapon, do you have a moment?”

It sounded like a young girl’s voice, soft and tender, yet natural, not affected; it seemed to be her original voice.

Han Xing replied, ”I do, what are you planning to use to trade with me?”

Clever Little Sheep: ”I... I see you need a green equipment blueprint, and I just happen to have one... should, should I show you?”

She seemed a little afraid of Han Xing, or maybe she didn’t know how to communicate with people properly.

”Send it to me to take a look,” Han Xing said straightforwardly.

”Sure... okay...”

[Survivor ’Clever Little Sheep’ has sent you a trade request.]

Han Xing: ”...”

”Weren’t you going to let me see the blueprint? Why are you directly initiating a trade?”

Clever Little Sheep quickly said, ”Ah? Don’t you have to have the item to see its attributes?”

Han Xing: ”...”

”What are you saying? If you give me the item, the trade is completed directly. If I run away with your stuff, who will you trade with?”

Clever Little Sheep: ”???”

”No... won’t happen... you wouldn’t run away with my stuff, right?”

Han Xing found it ridiculous; this woman seemed to be a bit dense.

He really wanted to say, I would.

But after thinking about it, he said, ”Forget it, put the item in the trading bar, let me check its attributes.”

”Ah? Oh... okay!” Clever Little Sheep replied hesitantly.

Then, Han Xing saw a green blueprint added to the trading bar.

[Beast Hide Coat Blueprint (Green)]

Indeed, it was a green equipment blueprint, and it was a piece of clothing.

Han Xing instantly had the thought of acquiring it.

In the past, Han Xing usually would negotiate for a while, trying to make the other party offer more.

But considering this woman seemed a bit slow, he directly abandoned the idea.

Han Xing directly placed the refined longbow he had, then completed the trade.

[Beast Hide Coat Blueprint (Green) acquired, learn it?]

”Learn.”

A fifth blueprint appeared in the blueprint section, and a slight smile of satisfaction appeared on Han Xing’s lips.

At this moment, Clever Little Sheep sent Han Xing a message.

”Th...thank you...”

Han Xing replied, ”No need to thank me; we each get what we need. Next time, remember not to trade items so casually with others.”

Clever Little Sheep: ”Mm-mm! Thank you!”

After closing the private chat.

Han Xing’s expression changed, and he looked at the blueprint section again, feeling excited.

[Materials required to make the Beast Hide Coat: One-star Beast Hide*3, Spirit Core*20, Ether*50, Warrior Badge*1.]

The materials needed for the Beast Hide Coat were quite a lot, especially the three one-star beast hides. However, the three snakeskins he just had decomposed could substitute for them.

It also requires 20 Spirit Cores, 30 Ethers, and one Warrior Badge.

He had the first two types of materials, but Han Xing hadn’t heard of the ’Warrior Badge’.

So, he dove into the trading channel to search for relevant information.

Quickly, he found a survivor named ’Cola’, just happened to be selling a Warrior Badge, the condition was 500g of food.

The price was still acceptable, so Han Xing directly opened a private chat.

”500g of snake meat for a Warrior Badge.”

In two seconds, Cola immediately responded, ”Bro, I don’t need food anymore. Do you have water? Give me 400 ml, no, 300 ml will do!”

Han Xing checked his backpack’s drinking water; removing his own consumption, there were less than 600 ml left.

Come to think of it, after exploring for so long, he indeed hadn’t found much drinking water.

This was even with Han Xing’s constant exploration and fighting; other survivors could find even less water resources.

Han Xing estimated that everyone was likely in a severe state of water scarcity right now.

A glance at the trading channel indeed showed a lot of people changing their trade information to water.

The chat channel was also full of wailing.

”I’m so thirsty... so thirsty...”

”Me too; this world’s water resources are too scarce, like this, we’re all going to die of thirst!”

”Does anyone have water? I can’t hold on much longer...”

Han Xing suddenly remembered that while playing this game on his phone, he also faced a near-death situation due to water shortage, almost leading to game failure.

It was only after several difficult days that a sudden rain shower from the sky solved his subsequent water resource issue.

Han Xing didn’t know the situation in other regional channels, but at least for channel 107, it would take a heavy rain to solve the water problem completely.

However, how many could hold on until then?

Thinking of this, Han Xing directly told the survivor named Cola, ”Bro, I don’t have much water here either; I can only give you 200 ml at most.”

Han Xing had to consider himself; trading out 200 ml would just barely sustain him for another day.

He expected the other party would bargain with him, but surprisingly, Cola excitedly agreed, ”Alright! 200 ml it is, let’s trade immediately!”

As if fearing Han Xing would go back on his word, the other quickly sent a trade request to Han Xing.

[Trade complete, you’ve acquired 1 Warrior Badge, and lost 200 ml of drinking water.]

Holding a leather badge in his hand, Han Xing pondered.

Meanwhile.

In a certain Sky Island Territory, Levi was looking grim while staring at the discussion group he had formed.

Many were opposing the decision he had just made.

As a major shareholder of the Lei Group, Levi stood and said, ”Everyone, let me say something; our Lei Group is a big family. Once you’re part of us, we’re family.”

”I know water resources are quite tight now. I’m asking you to hand them all over not to hoard but to distribute them fairly to our family members without, on the verge of dying from thirst.”

”In these difficult times, our Lei Group must unite to overcome the challenges together.”

”You must believe in my character, Levi; anyone contributing water now will be noted for their contributions, and you’ll be well-rewarded in the future.”

There was a silence in the discussion group, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Then, a person named Chen Anjiang voiced, ”President Lei, when you asked us to hand over materials, gear before, everyone complied, including quite some food. That was because everyone believed you could lead us to develop and survive.”

”However, water now is our lifeblood, not even enough for ourselves...”
