Meng Lei clearly remembered that when the game first started, it was this player named Divine Dragon who first put forward the information of the coordinates.
Moreover, in the name of the upper echelons of the Nine Provinces Navy, he had invited the players nearby to form a fleet.
At that time, most of the players were still in a daze, shocked by this inexplicable transmigration.
Meng Lei was also curiously exploring the various facilities and functions of the Bottomless Valley so that he could familiarize himself with the settings of the game as soon as possible.
However, at that time, Divine Dragon had already accepted the fact of transmigration and reacted immediately, pulling everyone to come together for strength.
It was obvious that the calmness and adaptability of the captain of Divine Dragon was definitely one of the best among the players.
From Meng Lei's point of view, such a person would always be at the forefront of all stages of the game.
The private message sent by Divine Dragon confirmed Meng Lei's opinion.
The other party actually wanted to buy all three pieces of fish in Meng Lei's hands at one go with iron, aluminum, and plastic materials, twelve units of each and six units of titanium!
Meng Lei was shocked by such a grand gesture.
It was hard to imagine how the other party had collected so many resources in such a short period of time. It was simply unbelievable!
Up until now, Meng Lei had only managed to collect the materials needed to make a freshwater extractor with the help of the game cheat.
However, the resources that the other party took out at once were several times more than Meng Lei's total harvest!
How could this not be shocking?!
If not for Divine Dragon's initial performance and the fact that he had once shouted the slogan of rebuilding the glory of Nine Provinces in the name of the upper echelons of the Nine Provinces Navy, Meng Lei would have subconsciously thought that this guy was a liar.
Of course, Meng Lei would not easily believe the other party's identity just based on his words.
Moreover, no matter how high the other party's status was in the past, everyone's starting point was the same now. Everyone was equal.
It was also because of the prompting of national cohesion that made Meng Lei a little more inclined to the other party when choosing his trading partner.
After pondering for a while, Meng Lei decided to communicate with Divine Dragon first.
At the very least, he had to check out the situation first.
He tapped his fingertips lightly and sent a reply.
[Bottomless Valley: It's almost impossible to obtain so many materials at once at this stage. How did you do it?]
Meng Lei's question was very direct and also the key to many doubts.
Through this question, many things could be analyzed.
A few seconds later, the other party replied.
Obviously, the other party had been keeping his eye on the central console, waiting for Meng Lei's reply.
[Divine Dragon: These materials were not gathered by me alone; they are currently the total resources of our fleet. What do you think? I have given you quite good terms, haven't I? Are you interested in making this deal?]
Looking at the words that appeared in the chat box, Meng Lei could not help but be stunned.
He never expected that the game had just begun, and the other party had already formed a fleet!
He even had absolute authority in the fleet and could mobilize all the resources!
This was simply outrageous!
However, through the other party's reply, it could at least explain why Divine Dragon was so generous in taking out so many resources at once.
In addition, this also indirectly confirmed the identity of the captain of the Divine Dragon. He should be the upper echelons of the Nine Provinces Navy.
Otherwise, the players under his fleet would not be so willing to listen to his orders.
However, on second thought, in the early stages of the game, most people's thoughts had not changed.
As long as they used the government's name, it was easy to induce people to blindly follow them.
Therefore, Meng Lei still had doubts about the true identity of the captain of Divine Dragon.
However, this would not affect the subsequent transaction.
At the very least, Meng Lei could confirm that Divine Dragon was indeed a player from Nine Provinces. That was enough.
After some thought, Meng Lei asked curiously.
[Bottomless Valley: If you take out all the resources of the fleet, it will definitely affect the overall development of the future. Are these three pieces of fish worth it?]
Not long after, he received a reply in the chat.
[Divine Dragon: Ha ha, of course it's worth it!
[If you scrimp on these three pieces of fish meat, it will be enough to completely satisfy the consumption of ten people for a day! In other words, we can save a day without worrying about food and devote ourselves to the mining of mineral resources!]
[The benefits of this day are worth far more than the price, and it won't have any impact on future development! "
Meng Lei stared at the screen and nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that the number of players under the command of Divine Dragon had been expanded to at least 10, which was considered to be of a preliminary scale.
With these ten people gathered together, the speed at which they collected resources was definitely far better than other solo players.
Thinking of this, Meng Lei suddenly realized something.
If he could reach a long-term cooperation with the Divine Dragon fleet, it would be a good choice for him personally.
For now, the resources provided by Divine Dragon had completely satisfied the conditions for the repair of the gravity ball.
Once the gravity ball was fixed, he would have a long-term sustainable source of food.
With that, he could sell all his food reserves to the Divine Dragon fleet in exchange for a stable income of resources.
On the other hand, the Divine Dragon fleet could avoid the problems of food shortages and focus on the gathering of other resources.
This was actually a win-win choice for both sides.
"This idea is feasible, but before that, I need to confirm the effect of the gravity ball first. When I'm confident enough, I'll discuss it with Divine Dragon."
Meng Lei pondered for a moment and made a decision.
At this moment, seeing that Meng Lei did not reply for a long time, Divine Dragon sent another message.
[Divine Dragon: Friend, have you made up your mind?
[Looking at your submarine name, you must be a fellow countryman from Nine Provinces, right?]
[To be able to create a freshwater extractor and obtain enough food to consume in such a short period of time, you must have considerable strength and luck!]
[Are you interested in joining our Nine Provinces fleet and joining forces to create the glory of Nine Provinces?]
Meng Lei had expected this.
Meng Lei shook his head and smiled. Without any hesitation, he directly refused.
[Bottomless Valley: There's no need to join the fleet. I prefer freedom, so I don't have such plans for the time being.]
[As for the deal, I can accept it.]
[Prepare the materials on your side. I'll take the goods off the shelves now. Let's do it in private.]
