The next day.
As soon as Han Xing opened his eyes, he was greeted by thousands of unread private messages.
After casually checking a few, he quickly understood what was going on.
"So, it seems everyone has already experienced the strength of that elite monster."
Papaya Star Spirit's analysis in the chat channel last night had led many to believe that healing items were a necessity to pass this area. Now, people were messaging Han Xing in hopes of trading for the healing items he possessed.
Han Xing felt a surge of joy and muttered under his breath, "It seems the time has come. I can start selling some Life Elixirs for trade!"
He had accumulated enough materials to produce a significant amount of Life Elixirs. As long as no other survivor had obtained the recipe for the Life Elixir, he effectively held a monopoly on this crucial resource.
In other words, Han Xing had once again monopolized the entire 107th district, with nearly ten thousand survivors dependent on him.
With this realization, Han Xing immediately decided to start producing Life Elixirs and put them up for trade.
He could have waited longer, letting more survivors get injured or die, which would increase the desperation for Life Elixirs. In that scenario, they'd be willing to pay even higher prices to survive.
But there was no need for that.
This wasn't Han Xing being overly charitable, but rather part of a long-term strategy. Judging by the current situation, he and the ten thousand survivors in the 107th district would be interacting for a long time.
For him to continue thriving in this system, he needed a large number of survivors to gather various materials and items for him. In his eyes, these survivors were valuable workers. If too many of them died, he'd be losing manpower, which would be a waste.
Thinking this over, Han Xing laughed to himself, "I really am too kind!"
He jumped out of his two-meter-wide bed and leisurely strolled through his floating island, which spanned over a thousand square meters.
Soon, Han Xing arrived at his storage area, where he checked the remaining materials in his storage chest.
The main ingredients for the Life Elixir were 100ml of Spiritual Spring Water and 10 Spirit Cores. He had 800 liters of Spiritual Spring Water left and 12,464 Spirit Cores in reserve.
If he used all his materials, he could produce over 8,000 bottles of Life Elixir. While that might sound like a lot, when distributed among the ten thousand survivors in District 107, there wouldn't even be enough for each person to have a single bottle.
Moreover, his Spirit Core reserves would only allow him to make about 1,200 bottles of Life Elixir.
With that in mind, Han Xing immediately clicked "Produce All," and the system notification appeared.
[Do you wish to consume 124,600ml of Spiritual Spring Water, 12,460 Spirit Cores, Moonflower Grass… to produce 1,246 bottles of Life Elixir?]
"Yes!"
As soon as he spoke, the recipe screen showed a series of progress bars, and his Spirit Core reserves were instantly emptied. But Han Xing didn't mind at all. He was confident that with these 1,200 bottles of Life Elixir, he could earn back even more resources!
Meanwhile, the survivors from "Whisper of the Gods" and "Airplane Boy Group" were panicking.
Their leaders were gravely injured and on the verge of death. Based on Papaya Star Spirit's analysis, they believed Han Xing might possess healing items, so they spent the entire night bombarding him with private messages.
But Han Xing was sound asleep and couldn't care less about their plight.
Frustrated by the lack of response, they began spamming the chat channel, frantically tagging Han Xing.
"@Galaxy, Great God Galaxy, please come out! Our leader is dying, we beg you to save him."
"@Galaxy, bro, I'm injured too. I'm begging you!"
"…"
Chat Channel
At that moment, Han Xing finally appeared.
He smiled and said, "Everyone, I've seen your requests."
The chat channel fell silent for a moment. Then, a flood of messages overwhelmed the channel, with people tagging Han Xing and sending voice messages, calling out his name with excitement.
"God Galaxy, you're finally here! We were about to lose our minds waiting!"
"God Galaxy, please save my child. Hao Hao can't lose his father..."
"God Galaxy..."
The survivors had waited all night for Han Xing's response, so it was no wonder they were overjoyed.
But just then, someone stepped in and yelled, "Quiet! Everyone, quiet down!"
"For God's sake, stop spamming! You're pushing God Galaxy's messages out of the chat, and you still want healing items?"
That person's words had an effect, and the chat began to calm down.
Once the spamming stopped, Han Xing continued, "Everyone, calm down. You guessed right. I do have some healing items. They're called Life Elixirs. As for their effects, see for yourselves."
Han Xing posted the attributes of the Life Elixir in the chat.
A collective gasp followed.
"Wow, such a powerful elixir! It can even heal such severe injuries!"
"With this elixir, who cares about the floating island monsters? I could pop one and charge into a horde of monsters without fear!"
Even though it was just a basic Life Elixir, given the survivors' current maximum health of around 20 points, it was more than enough to pull them back from the brink of death!
At this point, someone cautiously asked, "God Galaxy, are you selling this batch of Life Elixirs?"
Han Xing replied, "Yes, of course."
Everyone sighed with relief.
Then, another person asked, "God Galaxy, when will you put the Life Elixirs on the market? And, uh, about the price…"
Han Xing chuckled, "I won't be putting them on the market for now. This time, I'll be selling them through an auction."
"Auction?"
"Yes."
Han Xing explained, "Some of you should understand what I mean."
Most were still confused, but a few began to grasp his intention.
Han Xing didn't keep them in suspense. "There are still over ninety ranking rewards left to claim. In other words, the sooner you trade with me, the sooner you can defeat the regional boss and claim those rewards."
The chat channel fell silent once again.
They realized Han Xing's ambition.
Not only had he taken the top three rewards for himself, but now he aimed to control the rewards for the entire top one hundred!
And Han Xing indeed had the capability to pull it off.
Even the system, which had set up the ranking rewards, likely hadn't anticipated that one human survivor would manipulate the entire leaderboard.
At this point, the top four rewards had already been claimed. However, there were still 96 reward slots left on the leaderboard.
More importantly, the top five could choose one piece of blue-tier weapon equipment!
Just then, the Whisperer, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Galaxy, are you serious?"
