Grimm put up the transaction but there was still no deal after a long while.
He reckoned that the players probably did not see the transaction he put up, so he opened the communication channel and sent a message.
[ Exchanging one chip module for three servings of food. Those with food, come quickly! ]
It was fine if he did not send this message, but once he sent it, everyone was stunned.
"What? Three servings of food? That's too expensive!"
"I can't afford it..."
"I'll consider it if it's cheaper."
Grimm shook his head and replied.
"The chip module can be used to make radar. You definitely won't be at a loss to exchange three servings of food for such a rare material!"
"What the f*ck? Radar?"
"Mainly because I can't afford it!"
[ It's still too expensive! ]
Most players' purchasing power was indeed insufficient to pay for his transaction content, but Grimm did not care. There would always be players with better progress who would be interested in the chip module.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Grimm received a transaction notification.
[ Transaction successful, obtained: Toast X 3! ]
[ Transaction successful, obtained: French fries x 3! ]
…
Grimm was about to take out the food when he suddenly received another private message.
[ Do you still have the chip module? I still want it. Name your price! ]
[ I do have it, but I don't intend to sell it for the time being. ]
[ I have a lot of fresh water and food. No matter how many chip modules you have, if you don't have any food, you will definitely die of thirst and hunger. Name your price. These are all negotiable! ]
Grimm shook his head. It seemed that this player really needed a chip module, but he did not need too much food right now. Instead, he could ask about other things.
"Do you have rifle bullets?"
Seeing Grimm's question, the player on the other side was obviously stunned. After a few seconds, he finally replied.
"If it's bullets, wait for me. I will give you an answer in a few minutes!"
[ Okay! ]
Grimm replied and suddenly frowned.
If he had bullets then he did. If he didn't have bullets, then he didn't have bullets. Why wait a few minutes?
Could it be that this was a player who had formed an alliance with other players?
It seemed that he had encountered a team of players. To be able to assemble a team in such a short time, these players must have extraordinary adaptability.
No Wonder Grimm felt that he could not afford so much food by himself, and he did not need more chip modules. It turned out that he was collecting supplies for the team.
A few minutes later, the other party sent a message.
[ I have 50 rifle bullets. Can I use it to trade for 5 chip modules? ]
[5 chip modules? You are too good at business! ]
Grimm shook his head and directly cut the price by more than half.
[2 pieces for 50 rounds of rifle bullets! ]
[ You're cutting the price too hard! ]
[ Or you can find other sellers to negotiate. ]
Grimm directly closed the private message interface.
He guessed that there should be very few players who had chip modules in the game right now. Moreover, even if they got the chip modules, it was only one or two pieces. It was impossible to casually trade them out.
He still had 95 chip modules. They were a team with at least five or six players. The number of chip modules they needed was definitely not small. Who else could they buy from other than him?
Sure enough, as expected.
After more than ten minutes, that player sent a private message to Grimm again.
[100 rifle bullets for five chip modules. This price can not be lower! ]
Grimm thought for a moment.
Although rifle bullets were a little expensive, if he did not follow this price, they would very likely only sell 50 bullets.
Rifle bullets were simply too important to him now.
[ Deal! ]
Grimm quickly sent the transaction contents over. One second later, the transaction was completed.
[ Transaction successful. Obtained: Rifle Bullets x100! ]
"Beautiful!"
Grimm put away the bullets. His old carbine gun now had a total of 135 bullets. If he encountered robots that attacked the spaceship again, Grimm would not have to worry about the lack of bullets at all.
After being busy for a while, Grimm forgot to check how long it would take to reach the target planet.
While eating French fries, Grimm checked the display screen.
The display screen showed that he had two hours until he reached the target planet.
Through the window, Grimm looked at the planet. It was still a small bright spot, not much bigger than before. There probably wasn't much resources that could be mined.
"But... will I need to make some equipment to reach the planet later?"
Grimm thought for a moment and decided to check the technological construction interface to see if there were any relevant manufacturing principles.
A few minutes later, he found a manufacturing principle.
[ Planet excavation vehicle: Basic energy 50 points, ordinary alloy x20, mechanical module x20, rechargeable battery X 1! ]
"Rechargeable battery?"
Grimm checked with confusion and found that it was a not yet unlocked manufacturing principle.
"Looks like I can't make it yet!"
Just when he was a little dejected, he suddenly heard a notification.
[ Ding! Automatic check-in successful! ]
"Huh? It's been 24 hours already?"
Obviously, he had been in this game world for 24 hours, otherwise the system would not automatically check-in.
The next moment, a notification appeared.
[ Ding! Check-in successful, planet excavation vehicle X 1 obtained! ]
[ Ding! Planet excavation vehicle X 1 has a 100-fold increase! ]
[ Ding! Obtained high endurance variable speed harvester x 1! ]
As the system notification sounded, a harvester the size of a SUV suddenly appeared in front of Grimm.
This harvester had six wheels, two mechanical claws. There was even a propeller equipment behind it.
Grimm went closer to check the description.
[ High endurance variable speed harvester ]
[ Description: it can be used for 24 hours per charge and consumes 100 basic energy points. Additionally, it is equipped with a small propeller. When necessary, it will burn 10 energy ores and gain 10 minutes of temporary acceleration. Moreover, the speed of gathering materials will be even faster! ]
"Beautiful!"
Other than the power consumption of the harvester being too large, it had almost no shortcomings. When he arrived at the planet at later, Grimm would be ready to drive the harvester to collect materials.
He quietly waited to get close to the planet. On the other side, Charles, who had been thinking about killing Grimm, was dumbfounded.
"How is this possible?"
Yesterday, he estimated that it would still be three days before he arrived near Grimm, but today, it was actually six days.
"This doesn't make sense!"
He could not imagine how Grimm could fly more than three times his distance in one day.
"Could it be that he has a more powerful propeller?"
"Damn it!"
"But I'm more interested in this prey!"
Charles stroked the stubble on his chin and gave the order to the spaceship.
"Continue to chase!"
He had two naval cannons. As long as he could get close to Grimm, he was 100% sure that he could kill him.
At that time, all the resources that Grimm had accumulated would be his.
"Hehe, Grimm, the fatter you are the better!"
