48: Chapter 48 The Current Situation of People on Earth, and a Minor Celebrity

Moreover, just like how the Onlookers from Area 1 were in the same area as him, those guilds recruiting could indeed recruit talented individuals, but he definitely wouldn't take them in.

Captain Qin Hao also discovered a detail; it turned out that if a captain died, another crew member would be chosen as the captain.

Su Nian and the other girls were also secretly amazed; some people had actually docked in the desert.

At the same time, they were also very alarmed. After the three-day protection period ended, it seemed quite a few people had already died, and things were gradually becoming difficult.

Rao Shuqing asked, "Captain Qin Hao, do you want to ask if those who aren't in Area 1 have received a notification about how many days they'll be docked?"

"Because we're docked here and don't know for how long, it's a bit hard to plan."

Captain Qin Hao nodded; he felt he could indeed ask, as it was indeed an issue.

[Great Wall Watch: The difficulty during the day is okay, but the zombies become even stronger at night. I have a question: do your Spaceships have a notification for how long they'll be docked?]

But clearly, the netizens who were speaking didn't know this information either.

[Kele: I'm not sure either. I'm guessing we'll have to stay for several days. After all, the difficulty is starting to ramp up.]

[Special Forces Soldier: After the three-day protection period passed, things have indeed become much harder to deal with. We've lost another brother; it's really shitty.]

[Special Forces Soldier: But after the three-day protection period, many more treasure chests appeared. However, our luck is really bad. Great Wall Watch, I have some rare boxing gloves; can I trade them with you for Upgrade Shard?]

[Great Wall Watch: I'll have to politely decline. I still have a use for the Upgrade Shard; I don't even have enough for myself.]

Captain Qin Hao's Upgrade Shard weren't very abundant right now either. Compared to those boxing gloves, he felt the Upgrade Shard were more useful.

Besides, he had obtained a rare weapon material, so he could make a weapon himself later.

[I Dont Understand: Great Wall Watch, I've obtained another Silver Treasure Chest. Do you still have constitution strengthening fluid? I'll trade 30 Upgrade Shard for one constitution strengthening fluid.]

Captain Qin Hao was slightly taken aback when he saw this private message.

This I Dont Understand really was someone with great luck, having obtained a Silver Treasure Chest; he must have opened another 20 or 30 Upgrade Shard.

[Great Wall Watch: Deal.]

[Transaction established: 30 Upgrade Shard traded for 1 constitution strengthening fluid.]

With the transaction complete, Captain Qin Hao obtained the Upgrade Shard, meeting the requirements for a Level 4 Spaceship. He was now only missing a ships heart.

Just then, another private message arrived.

[Women Should Be Strong: Great Wall Watch, do you have any more constitution strengthening fluid? I can trade food with you. Our Spaceship is full of girls, and our combat power is a bit weak. Please, help us.]

When Captain Qin Hao heard it was all girls, he was slightly moved, but he wasn't some do-gooder. Trading some food for his constitution strengthening fluid? That wouldn't do.

[Great Wall Watch: I'll have to pass. This is a rare item, and I'm not short on food at all.]

Su Nian lamented, "This Women Should Be Strong is too pitiful. With only girls, their combat power is definitely much weaker than other Spaceships."

Fortunately, they had Captain Qin Hao carrying them; otherwise, they would surely be asking for help just like Women Should Be Strong.

Rao Shuqing also sighed and said, "Sigh, they're all poor children."

"Captain Qin Hao, we have so much constitution strengthening fluid. If she offers suitable terms, let's trade with them."

Captain Qin Hao was also somewhat helpless; the girls were still too emotional. If he traded too easily, the constitution strengthening fluid would lose its value.

Moreover, they were neither relatives nor friends. Unless they all became his women, they shouldn't even think about it. But if they all came, you girls would definitely be unhappy again.

He shook his head and said, "If she only offers food, I definitely won't trade with her. She has to at least offer something good."

As Captain Qin Hao spoke, the group of girls all nodded secretly.

Xu Wanqing also chimed in, "Yes, if we make it too easy for them to get, they might not feel gratitude but instead take it for granted."

Captain Qin Hao nodded and glanced at the girl, Xu Wanqing; the little camouflage on her face looked quite good.

[Women Should Be Strong: It seems we don't have any precious items besides food.]

After the other side sent that, she seemed to think of something and added.

[However, during our exploration, we found a strange fruit tree with some fruit on it. Although we don't know what kind of fruit it is, we think it's quite precious. If you know your stuff, you can see if we can trade.]

Immediately after, she sent a photo.

What met his eyes was an extremely beautiful face with snow-white skin, giving off a sense of peerless beauty. In her hand, she held a strange fruit.

Captain Qin Hao took a look and grumbled inwardly. If you're sending a photo of the fruit, just send the fruit. Why include a selfie? But she really was beautiful, with a celebrity-like face.

[dragon spirit fruit: A fruit favored by the dragon race. After consumption, one will receive the dragon's blessing, increasing their strength in the short term. Long-term use has a very low chance of granting a permanent blessing. Side effect: A short period of weakness after consumption.]

Captain Qin Hao looked at it; it was another strange fruit, and this one was quite useful with minimal side effects that could almost be ignored. It was definitely a rare item.

Su Nian and the others immediately curled their lips. If you're sending a fruit, just send the fruit; why send a selfie? Though she really was pretty.

At this moment, Zhao Zihan said in surprise, "Whoa, isn't this person Liu Siyu? She's the idol I follow! I love the dramas she's in!"

As Zhao Zihan spoke, the other girls also looked over one after another.

"Oh, it really is her. Isn't this the rising starlet? It's really her."

"What? Is it that celebrity who slowly became famous starting as an obscure minor star?"

Amidst the girls' chattering, Captain Qin Hao also understood. The person on the other side was actually a minor celebrity, but since he didn't follow stars, he hadn't known.

Zhao Zihan pressed against Captain Qin Hao, hugging his arm and acting spoiled, "Captain, after you finish trading, can you send her a message for me? I want to experience what it's like to chase an idol."

Captain Qin Hao was getting a bit heated from her rubbing against him. With such a large "weapon" swaying around, was she trying to test a cadre like this?

The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Sending a message was fine, but there would be a price.

Captain Qin Hao laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's talk after I finish the trade. Do you like chasing stars that much? If there's a chance in the future, I'll have her come to our Spaceship so you can chase her all you want."

Zhao Zihan felt something was wrong. If Liu Siyu came, wouldn't that be harming her idol? What if the Captain "chased" her too?

[Great Wall Watch: Sure. This fruit doesn't look very useful; I'll just take it for my collection. How many do you have? I'll trade one bottle of constitution strengthening fluid for all of them.]

...

The other side seemed to fall silent for a long time.

[Women Should Be Strong: Are you sure you're not playing me? This is a rare fruit. One fruit is probably worth two of your bottles. Don't think I'm that easy to fool.]

Captain Qin Hao thought to himself, this wave is too greedy; she's not that easy to fool.

[Great Wall Watch: This fruit isn't very useful to me. One bottle of constitution strengthening fluid for three fruits.]

Rao Shuqing and the others also stared blankly at Captain Qin Hao. Captain Qin Hao was being way too unscrupulous.
