Levi questioned Han Xing in the chat channel.
At this moment, another person named "Five Days Thunder" said, "And what about us from the Lei Group? We've been refused when we tried to trade with you. What's your deal? Are you not planning on doing business anymore?"
Facing their questions, Han Xing chuckled lightly and replied, "It's not that I'm planning anything. I just don't want to trade with people from the Lei Group."
Other survivors keenly picked up on the unusual meaning behind Han Xing's words.
It seemed that this big shot wasn't on good terms with the people from the Lei Group?
At this moment, they recalled that yesterday the Lei Group had been clamoring in the chat channel to blacklist someone. That person seemed to be Xinghe!
It's over… these fools offended a big shot, and now he's outright refusing to trade with them.
Many people silently mourned for the Lei Group.
Levi knew now that Han Xing was holding onto yesterday's grudge. Suppressing his anger, he spoke in a low voice, "Kid, there's no need to be so petty, right?"
"Sure, we had a conflict before, but that was just me alone. No need to drag the entire Lei Group into it, right?"
However, Han Xing laughed and replied, "Really? I remember yesterday it wasn't just you. A whole group from the Lei Group jumped out, shouting to boycott me and refusing to trade with me."
"Well, congratulations to you all. You've succeeded."
Levi was stunned for a moment, then his tone turned grim. "Galaxy, don't go too far. If you don't sell us water, the lives of dozens of Lei Group members will be in your hands!"
The atmosphere in the chat channel became very strange. Levi was now bringing up the lives of dozens of people, trying to pressure Han Xing into selling water.
However, Han Xing coldly laughed and replied, "Levi, I already told you, don't think you can fool me with your tricks. Do you really think moral blackmail is going to work on me?"
"You are their leader, so you should take responsibility for your subordinates. Since you made the decision, you have to bear all the consequences. If you can't handle it, it only proves your incompetence."
After speaking, Han Xing didn't want to waste any more words with Levi and exited the chat channel.
This left Levi with a face ashen with rage, trembling in anger as he stared at the chat.
As for the other members of the Lei Group, their faces had all turned pale.
...
At this moment, in Han Xing's floating island territory.
He emerged from a pile of materials.
Levi's manipulation had no effect on him, even though Levi had exaggerated the severity of the situation.
But Han Xing knew that although water resources were scarce in Channel 107, some people definitely still had reserves.
The Lei Group could still trade with those people. The only difference would be that the cost would be higher—it just depended on whether Levi was willing to pay the price.
Shaking his head, Han Xing stopped thinking about them.
Instead, he turned his attention to his territory, which had nearly doubled in size again. A broad smile spread across his face, revealing a row of white teeth.
Before this, his territory had a volume of 32 cubic meters. After merging with the dark elf's floating island, it expanded directly to 64 cubic meters.
An 8-meter by 8-meter platform now floated in the sky.
Even though the space was large, the vast amount of materials still made the platform feel cluttered and chaotic.
It took Han Xing a lot of effort to step out of the pile of materials, finding two small empty spaces on the edge.
Then, he checked the blueprint for a storage chest.
[Storage Chest Blueprint (Green)]
[Required materials: Spirit Core x50, Fine Iron x100, Mithril x10, Rare Earth x100.]
[Success Rate: 10% (Thanks to the God-Level Craftsman talent, success rate is 100%)]
"Huh? It actually requires mithril."
Han Xing pondered, "Mithril is pretty rare. Aside from the low chance of getting it from bronze chests, it can only be found by luck in a few mithril mines."
"I wonder if Channel 107 has any."
Han Xing was unsure. However, when he returned to the chat channel and announced his desire to purchase mithril, he still received many responses.
In the end, he successfully traded 2,000 milliliters of spiritual spring water for 21 pieces of mithril.
As expected, when enough people are involved, even with low odds, there are always a few lucky ones who can obtain these materials.
With all the materials gathered, Han Xing immediately clicked on the crafting option.
A flash of green light, and part of the material mountain disappeared.
A 180-second progress bar appeared in front of him.
Since it was a tool-making process, it took a bit longer.
After waiting for six minutes, the system notification arrived.
[Successfully crafted Storage Chest (Green) x2]
[Storage Chest (Green), Quality - Fine, Storage Capacity 350, Special Effect - Expansion (Storage space increases by 50)]
[Storage Chest (Green), Quality - Rare, Storage Capacity 400, Special Effect - Intermediate Expansion (Storage space increases by 100)]
Two storage chests—one fine quality, one rare quality. With the special effects included, they provided an additional 750 slots of storage space!
Once again, his God-Level Craftsman talent demonstrated its immense power!
"Perfect! Now I have more than enough space!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Clang!
With a loud thud, two large storage chests, each about two meters long and one meter wide, appeared in front of Han Xing.
Because the chests were made of fine iron, they had a black appearance, adorned with white mithril patterns.
Han Xing quickly stuffed the piles of materials into the storage chests.
In just a few moments, his territory became spacious again.
He clapped his hands and opened the consignment channel, starting to sell spiritual spring water once more.
Channel 107 was once again shaken.
Many people rushed to trade with Han Xing, and within seconds, hundreds of trade requests popped up.
Compared to the first time, the frenzy was even more intense!
Han Xing clicked through the trade requests so fast his hands started to feel sore, but he continued eagerly.
[Trade successful: You received the Complete Furniture Blueprint, you lost 500ml of spiritual spring water.]
[Trade successful: You received the Green Beast Hide Boots Blueprint, you lost 300ml of spiritual spring water.]
[Trade successful: You received the Green Warrior Pendant Blueprint, you lost 500ml of spiritual spring water.]
...
Since Han Xing had changed his trading terms, this time he focused on acquiring blueprints, skipping over any repeated ones.
The trading frenzy lasted for nearly two hours, and by the end, Han Xing's fingers were almost cramping.
When the final trade was completed, Han Xing collapsed onto the ground as if he had just fought a great battle.
However, despite the exhaustion, his face was full of excitement.
After all, who wouldn't be thrilled to see over a dozen skill books and dozens of equipment and weapon blueprints sitting neatly in their inventory?
Not only that, but four storage chests now occupied eight square meters at the edge of his territory.
Since the materials had completely filled his previous chests, Han Xing had hastily made two more.
Now, the four storage chests, with nearly 3,000 slots, were crammed full of various materials!
