Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Harvest, Conflict of Interest Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Harvest, Conflict of Interest â`
At the same time, the trade for bear meat suddenly went offline in the chat channel, and the survivors immediately fell into panic.
Guo Yichen: âWhat the hell, why did the bear meat suddenly go offline!
I havenât bought any yet?â
Luosa: âI didnât get any either.
I just got the news that someone was selling attribute-enhancing bear meat in the market.â
Shu Ye: âAhhh!
Could Cao Xingâs bear meat possibly be sold out already?â
âHurry and tag Cao Xing!â
In the regional channel, people were frantically tagging Cao Xing.
Yue Zejun: â@Cao Xing, honey!
Say something!â
Lu Yueyue: â@Cao Xing, big shot, donât be so indifferent.
...
Come out and soothe your little sisterâs heart.â
Huang Ling: â@Cao Xing, do you need an anklet?â
At this time, Cao Xing was giving tasks to those Polar People, upgrading [Camp Fire] and upgrading [Lordâs Hut], without paying attention to the chat in the channel.
Seeing that Cao Xing didnât respond, the survivors became anxious.
âWeâre screwed, everyone, Cao Xing isnât replying.
Could it really have been sold out?â
âDamn, I said earlier Iâd wait for the price to drop a bit before buying.
Now itâs all sold out.â
âI had the same plan, and now Iâm really losing outâŠâ
At this time, a survivor named Yu Jun said, âYou idiots, still waiting for someone else to lower the price?
Do you even know what kind of meat this is?â
âItems that can enhance attributes are hard currency at any time.â
âAnd Cao Xingâs price is already set very reasonably!â
Liu Hui: âYeah, Cao Xingâs price is really fair.
Previously, buying 100g of beast meat from Fang Long almost drained all my assets.â
Huang Shihong: âExactly, Fang Longâs price is so steep, buying once is like losing everything you own.â
Just then, a cold voice appeared in the regional channel.
Fang Long: âDid someone just say that my meat is expensive?â
âDo you realize how difficult it is for my men to trade even a bit of food?â
âI traded precious food so you wouldnât go hungry, and you say my prices are high?â
The chat channel fell silent.
Most people here were from Xiangjiang, and they all knew the notorious Three Heroes Association.
Itâs a well-known gang.
Besides Fang Long, there were two other gang bosses, all were ruthless.
Thatâs why they named themselves the Three Heroes Association.
At its peak, the gangâs numbers reached thousands, a reputation that spread across Xiangjiang.
Seeing no one speaking, Fang Long continued sarcastically, âYou all better behave and see whoâs the boss of this region!â
âFrom now on, anyone wanting to trade in this region needs our permission, or else theyâll suffer!â
At this point, a survivor named Chen Minhao said, âFang Long, arenât you being too overbearing?â
âYou sell your stuff for such a high price and donât allow others to sell?â
Fang Long: âYouâre right, we are this overbearing.â
âWhat do you think the Three Heroes Association is about?â
Hearing this, the survivorsâ faces changed.
Indeed, a gang like the Three Heroes Association was never good, collecting protection fees was one of their ways to make money.
Evidently, Cao Xingâs mass sale of bear meat had infringed on their interests.
Fang Long sneered, âLet me tell you, we have hundreds of Three Heroes Association brothers in this region.
Sooner or later, weâll meet each other.â
âYou better think carefully about the consequences of offending us.â
At this moment, the Three Heroes Association members started speaking up one after another.
âSupport Boss Fang Long!â
âEveryone, keep quiet!â
âChannel 174 will be under the control of the Three Heroes Association from now on!â
Seeing so many people show up, the survivors suddenly realized this.
Theyâre now in the same region as the Three Heroes Association.
As they gradually expand outward, they will inevitably meet at some point.
And the Three Heroes Association, with natural hundreds of people, was the largest force in this region.
Offending them would make their territory dangerous in the future!
For a moment, everyone was too afraid to speak.
At that moment, Cao Xing opened the regional channel.
He had just seen the chat above and was dumbfounded.
What does this mean?
All I did was arrange some work, and now I canât even do business?
Cao Xing thought for a moment and then said: âEveryone, I just left for a while to deal with something.
Now the trading continues.â
Before other survivors could speak, Fang Long saw Cao Xing appear and immediately said, âDidnât you hear what I said?
I told you to stop trading.â
Cao Xing replied calmly, âWhy?
Just because you said stop trading, I have to?â
Fang Long: âKid, donât play dumb.
Youâre from Xiangjiang, you shouldâve heard of the Three Heroes Association.â
âZone 174 is our territory now.â
Cao Xing paused for a moment, then laughed: âWhatâs this?
Three Heroes or Three Birds Association, this isnât Blue Star anymore, why are you trying to pull this with me?â
âEveryone, donât be afraid of these stupid birds, continue trading.
I have limited bear meat, first come, first served.â
âBy the way, morons from the Three Birds Association donât trade with me.
Weâre in a new world, yet youâre still acting like dogs.
Go ask your master for meat!â
Cao Xingâs words were like poking a hornetâs nest.
It provoked furious curses from the Three Heroes Association members.
Zhang Wei: âCao Xing, I*&*%â
Xu Haocheng: âIâŠ
&%âŠ&â
Cao Xing laughed as he waited for them to finish cursing, then chuckled: âIs that all?â
âIs this all the Three Heroes Association can muster?â
Provoked by Cao Xing, curses flooded the screen, and Channel 174 was almost completely taken over by their messages.
They furiously hurled verbal attacks at Cao Xing.
At this moment, a system prompt appeared in front of them.
[Due to multiple uses of offensive language, your chat permissions have been revoked.
Remaining time: 3 daysâŠ]
The cursing survivors were left dumbfounded.
They didnât expect the Otherworld to have a mute function.
In an instant, a large number of Three Heroes Association survivors were muted, and the entire chat channel gradually quietened down.
Cao Xing continued to provoke them, causing more Three Heroes Association survivors to be muted.
Seeing the escalating situation, Fang Long stepped in and said, âEveryone, stop talking, donât fall for this kidâs tricks!â
Though Fang Long told them to stop, over two hundred people had already been muted for three days by the system in that wave.
This was quite a blow to the Three Heroes Associationâs prestige.
Fang Long, in a chilling tone, said, âKid, your name is Cao Xing, right?
Iâll remember you.
I hope you donât regret this later.â
But Cao Xing was completely unfazed by his threat and laughed: âYou remember me?â
âGreat, because Iâve remembered all of you too.
ÆÎżŃ”Ç€áŽ.ŃÖ
The names and ID numbers of those who cursed me have all been noted down.â
âFrom now on, donât think you can trade anything with me.â
Cao Xing completely ignored Fang Longâs threat and continued listing his items.
And seeing Fang Long fall silent, the survivors began rushing again!
âEveryone, hurry up!
Cao Xing said the bear meat is limited this time; if youâre late, itâll be gone!â
âDamn!
This time Iâm definitely getting some!â
âCharge!â
The chat channel was filled with excitement.
And the messages from the Three Heroes Association were soon buried by the massive amount of survivor messages.
Cao Xing received a barrage of trade notifications once again.
