163: Trading platform material! Hot-selling cucumbers!

"Hmm? Have you been corrupted?"

Su Lie looked at the private message but did not immediately try to haggle.

After replying, he looked at the other private messages.

Most of these messages were from people wanting to trade for iron, Stone, and wood.

Among them, there were even people wanting to trade monster crystals for big hairy chestnuts.

Su Lie screened them one by one, prioritizing messages about space resources.

He consumed Mist Points to reply to them one by one.

As for the flower-tying machine and the Shelter upgrade decree he requested, there was no news at all.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Gu Yina finally replied: "Because of the continuous fighting, my corruption is getting worse! But it's limited to my left arm! If there's really no other way, I'll have to amputate the arm!"

While speaking, she sent over a picture.

The picture showed a thick arm with a section that had swollen into a tumor 20 centimeters in diameter.

At the junction between the other part of the arm and this section, there was a special rune band.

From the photo, it could be determined that it was precisely because of the restraint of the rune band that the corruption hadn't spread from the arm to the rest of her body.

"What kind of technique is this?" Su Lie asked curiously.

Gu Yina replied directly: "A Skill! Don't talk nonsense! A few Mist Points might be nothing to you, but to me, they are a very important resource! What can you give me?"

"I don't have any storage equipment either, but I have a large amount of Exorcism Holy Water! It can dispel all the corruption on your body! Of course, it can also quench your thirst!"

Su Lie replied. He had his own reasons for saying this.

If he said he could craft space items, Gu Yina would definitely only trade one of her two space materials, and the other would inevitably be requested to be crafted into storage equipment.

He didn't want to lose that material. After all, he didn't know how many materials he could obtain. This concerned whether he could quickly complete the Shelter's upgrade mission.

At this moment, Gu Yina, who was in another spacious Shelter, had her eyes light up. She hurriedly responded: "How much Exorcism Holy Water do I need to recover from this state? I need to trade for 10 times the amount of Exorcism Holy Water!"

"For drinking and cleaning, you need at least 10 liters! I'll give you 200L! If you need anything in the future, just come to me!"

After thinking it over, Su Lie made his decision. He didn't waste any words and directly placed a trade order for Gu Yina.

Hum! Before long, he had two more space materials in his hands.

Among them, the space beast pouch was exactly the same as the one Su Lie had obtained earlier.

Although it could also hold things, it was only temporary. The space fragment was relatively more precious than the beast pouch.

[space fragment: Golden Legendary Quality; Space Size, Length: 50 meters; Width: 50 meters; Height: 50 meters; Function: Storage equipment, Shelter upgrade, equipment weapons, space repair, space reinforcement, and everything related to space. Note: This space fragment cannot be used directly. Note: This space fragment is relatively fragile; after shattering, it can create 20 space rifts within a range of 100 meters.]

"This thing can be used as a weapon and also as a material!" Su Lie held the paper-thin space fragment in his hand, his eyes full of curiosity.

Ding! At this time, Gu Yina sent another message: "Thank you! The Exorcism Holy Water really has a great effect on the corruption! In the future, I will continuously buy Exorcism Holy Water from you! I hope you have enough resources to supply me!"

"Rest assured!" Su Lie replied. He began communicating with others again.

An hour later, after his continuous bargaining, he finally obtained 5 more space beast pouches.

As for the other space materials, either the asking price was too high, or the other party changed their mind after a price had been agreed upon.

For these people who asked for exorbitant prices and went back on their word, Su Lie stopped paying attention to them after communicating a few times.

During this period, he spent nearly 5,419 Mist Points.

Immediately after, Su Lie listed 10 million cucumbers on the Trading Center and consumed Mist Points to restrict the cucumbers so that only people from his hometown could purchase them.

He listed them at a price of 5 units of Stone, 5 units of wood, or 1 unit of iron per cucumber.

Subsequently, he listed another 9 million cucumbers. This time, there were no restrictions on who could buy them, but the transaction price was set at 50 units of Stone, 50 units of wood, or 10 units of iron per cucumber.

Previously, he had already sacrificed 1,000 tons of cucumbers, which amounted to 5 million cucumbers.

This resulted in his total number of cucumbers being reduced to 19 million.

After listing all these cucumbers, Su Lie entered the Chat Group again.

Before he could even advertise, the group was already buzzing because of it.

"Holy crap! Boss Su Lie is worthy of being a big shot! To think he has so many cucumbers! Did you just rob a cucumber cultivation base?"

"Fuck! Su Lie! I need an explanation. Why can't I buy the cheap cucumbers? We are all from Blue Star; you can't be biased!"

"Hehe! As expected of a fellow countryman! Thank you! Many thanks, Boss Su Lie! Your cucumbers are truly a timely rain!"

"Haha! Any of you foreigners want cucumbers? Here, you only need 10 units of Stone, 10 units of wood, or 2 units of iron to buy one! Who wants them?"

"Damn it! Fuck! Are you fucking looking for death? Boss Su Lie is helping us fellow countrymen, not letting us take his resources to make extra money! If you do this, will you still be able to buy cheap things in the future?"

"I curse you to be snatched by a Cthulhu evil god as a snack when you go out! Damn it! Isn't this cutting off our path? We absolutely do not allow your behavior as a scalper!"

"Fuck! I'm angry now! You'd better not let me see you. Every time I see you, I'll beat you up! You grandson!"

...

Su Lie hadn't expected someone to start working as a scalper so quickly and even speak up in the group.

Originally, he did this to help his fellow countrymen who were in dire straits. Before, he had the intention but no ability. Now that he had the ability, he naturally wanted to help.

But it wasn't help without principles. This time, he was just throwing out a brick to attract jade, to see how many fellow countrymen were still alive.

And how many rotten apples were among these fellow countrymen. For such inferior quality fellow countrymen, he could only say goodbye in the future.

As for the high-quality fellow countrymen who knew how to be grateful, they would be the key objects of care. How many of them were suitable to be partners and friends? That would require slow contact.

When Su Lie exited the chat channel, the public anger in the group had become increasingly fierce, and several fellow Survivor countrymen who were reselling cucumbers were dragged out and fiercely trampled upon.

Su Lie just smiled faintly and prepared to leave.

At this time, the Trading Center sent a notification that the cucumbers were sold out. He then discovered that the two orders he had just listed had been completely traded away.

He had traded with other races and obtained 250 million units of wood, 150 million units of Stone, and 10 million units of iron.

From the fellow countrymen, he obtained 30 million units of wood, 2,250 units of Stone, and 500,000 units of iron.

Calculating it, his current total wood was 110,377,237,327 units, Stone was 90,565,796,530 units, and iron was 29,831,805,156 units.

In addition, his current elemental stone was only 90,000 units.

"To complete the remaining sacrifice missions, the amount of Stone, wood, and iron is still far from enough! elemental stone also needs to be mined more!"

Su Lie calculated silently: "The heart of the ore vein needed to upgrade the Shelter can be gathered, but 80% of the ore must be mined out before the heart of the ore vein can be extracted!"

"In this way, the entire ore vein is wasted!"

He calculated from the previous trade. The iron possessed by the Survivors was not much. The most abundant were still Stone and wood.

Therefore, the only thing he could move was the Stone ore vein.

"I have 3,268 Stone ore veins! That should be enough for the upgrade!"

After thinking, Su Lie got up and came to the first floor of the basement.

He took out the Stone ore veins and successively placed and materialized all these ore veins in the basement.

Before long, four of the five floors of the Shelter's basement had been filled with Stone ore veins by him.

A full 1,001 Stone ore veins were placed in the basement by Su Lie.

Subsequently, he summoned the Little Skeletons who were mining.

Currently, the total number of miner Little Skeletons under his command was 978, of which 70 were mining elemental stone, and the rest were mining Stone.

In just a short time, the Little Skeletons had already mined 3,000 units of elemental stone and 40,000 units of Stone.

After careful consideration, Su Lie arranged 50 Little Skeletons to work in the elemental stone ore vein, and the remaining 928 Little Skeletons were divided into two teams, with 464 in each team.

He sent these two teams of Little Skeletons to two separate Stone ore veins to excavate.

"Phew! Calculating it this way, it will take at least more than a day to extract one heart of the ore vein! One thousand ore veins, that's at least 1,000 days! This is too long!"

Su Lie let out a breath, still not satisfied with this: "I need a large number of Little Skeletons!"
