More than 30 live fish burst into the market.
Instantly, an unprecedented commotion was caused in Channel 66671!
The players who were staring at the chat interface in front of the central console were shocked. They felt absolute disbelief.
No one could understand why, when most people were suffering from hunger.
Bottomless Valley had actually become self-sufficient.
He even had a large amount of food reserves to enter the market for trade with other players.
Such an abnormal speed made people suspect that they were not playing the same game.
It couldn't be helped. The disparity was too great!
On the other side, just as most people were squeezing into the communication channel and expressing their opinions in fervor, the thirty-odd fish in the market were also sold out in an instant.
The speed was simply shocking!
Almost as soon as Meng Lei put the fish up, System notifications began to echo crazily in his mind.
[System notification: You have obtained Iron*3 through trading]
[System notification: You have obtained Aluminum*3 through trading]
[System notification: You have obtained Carbon*3 through trading]
…
A series of System notifications kept ringing in his ears.
Almost every second, the goods on the shelves would be sold.
With the market demand of more than 90,000 people, the 30 over fish instantly vanished like a drop of water falling into a desert.
After most of the players had finished expressing their exclamation in the communication channel, they suddenly came back to their senses and wanted to go to the trading market to sweep up the goods, however, they realized that the consumables area in the market was already empty. There was not even a fish scale left.
Some latecomers, when they heard about this through the communication channel, wanted to go to the market to behold the miracle of the big guy.
They too realized that they seemed to have been played out.
The empty consumables market was like a joke, silently mocking them.
For a moment, a large number of players flipped the table angrily and rushed into the communication channel again, starting to argue.
[Exorcist: Damn, I take my hats off. What kind of speed is this?! It's only been a few seconds, and dozens of fish have been wiped out?! Is it so difficult to be a human?!]
[Fury Fire: Those guys who love to dive are all rotten. They always like to play dirty tricks without saying a word! They're simply immoral to the extreme!]
[Autumn Wind: Damn, compared to you single guys, I admit defeat. Can any of the big guys who had managed to snatch the fish kindly sell me one at the original price?]
[Heartbroken: I seriously doubt the authenticity of this matter. Could those guys who were bragging about Bottomless Valley just now be the water army hired by Bottomless Valley? How could anyone sell more than thirty fish at one go at this stage? Even if his accuracy with the harpoon is 100%, how long will it take him to catch dozens of fish?!]
[Squid: Those above, I also think that's impossible. There's nothing in the trading market. Who knows if they're telling the truth?!]
[White Sail: Hehe, just because you guys can't do it doesn't mean that others can't. As the person lucky enough to snatch a fish, I can tell you responsibly that a few seconds ago, Bottomless Valley did put more than 30 fish on the market. Believe it or not!]
[Leader: Hiring water army?! I think Heartbroken is really crazy?! What's the point of hiring fake reviewers in this game?! Is there something wrong with your brain?!]
[Love Sauce: Boohoo… I'm so hungry, I want to eat fish…]
…
In the communication channel, the players who had snatched the fish were secretly delighted.
The players who did not manage to snatch any could only stare regretfully and hit the keyboard helplessly.
In addition, there were also people who questioned the authenticity of this matter. No one knew what they were thinking.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Meng Lei.
After returning to the living quarters, Meng Lei opened the small storage chest in the corner and calculated the gains from this transaction.
There were a total of 36 fish. After selling all of them, the traded resources amounted to more than a hundred units.
Such a bountiful harvest made Meng Lei's breath freeze.
He felt like a nouveau riche who had accidentally won the lottery.
The sudden windfall from the sky made him so excited that his blood vessels were spewing out, and his mind was slightly dizzy.
"As expected, working is never as good as doing business!"
"After working tirelessly for a few hours and taking the risk of losing my life at any time, I've only collected a little bit of supplies. It's not even worth a fraction of this huge transaction!"
"Looks like I have to change my train of thought and plan my future development."
After a moment of sighing.
Meng Lei turned his gaze back to the storage chest and tallied his overall gains.
Among the hundred over units of resources traded,
Aluminum accounted for fifteen units and plastics for twelve.
Carbon and titanium were relatively scarce.
There were only nine units of carbon and eight units of titanium.
The rest were all iron and copper!
These two most common basic resources added up to a total of 66 units!
Such an imbalanced trade ratio was within Meng Lei's expectations.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to predict this outcome.
Therefore, he did not put all 60 fish up at the beginning.
Otherwise, the carbon he gained would definitely be greatly reduced, and be far from meeting his requirements.
In addition, through this transaction, Meng Lei realized another problem.
With the current capacity of the submarine's storage chest, it could no longer meet his needs.
One transaction had almost caused the storage chest to burst. If he had directly put up more than 60 fish, the 30 slots of storage capacity would have reached the upper limit in an instant!
After pondering for a while, Meng Lei decided to delay the matter of the ship's cannons and upgrade the storage chest first.
Otherwise, there would be no second transaction.
He turned to the manufacturing station and opened the modifications list.
Then, among the many upgrade options, he found the one for the storage chest.
[Submarine's storage chest (0/5), Upgrade Requirements: Iron 5/5; Copper 5/5; Plastic 5/5]
Without hesitation, he chose to upgrade.
The System notification sounded again.
[System notification: Congratulations on completing one storage chest modification. Current storage chest capacity is 50 slots]
As the System notification sounded, a virtual light flashed.
The small storage chest in the corner of the bed instantly grew in size.
The contents of the modifications list also changed at the same time.
[Submarine's storage chest (1/5), Upgrade Requirements: Iron 10/10; Copper 10/10; Plastic 10/10]
"With an additional 20 units of capacity, if converted to the upper limit for stacking, it is only for 200 units of resources. I reckon it won't last long!"
He looked at the storage chest that still had a lot of resources hoarded.
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Lei chose to upgrade again.
[System notification: Congratulations on completing one storage chest modification. Current storage chest capacity is 100 slots]
