The person who messaged him privately was none other than "Bei Bei Nan Gua," who had previously wanted to exchange a Warehouse Blueprint for supplies in the public chat channel.
Bei Bei Nan Gua: "Big Brother, was what you said in the public channel just now true? I need some food and water right now, and also... I have a few primal stones. Do you still need them?"
"How many primal stones do you have?"
Lin Bei asked curiously.
"Not many, only two blocks. They were both opened from Beginner supply treasure chests."
Bei Bei Nan Gua immediately replied.
"We can trade."
Lin Bei nodded, then selected the trade option.
Bei Bei Nan Gua quickly placed the Warehouse Blueprint and the two primal stones onto the trade interface, holding his breath and waiting anxiously.
[Basic Warehouse Blueprint]
Level: 1
Quality: common
Description: The blueprint can be recorded in the Construction Module and used directly to build a Basic Warehouse.
durability: 100 (Each construction consumes 1 point of durability. Once durability reaches zero, the blueprint cannot be used to construct buildings anymore.)
..."Not bad. Although it only has 100 durability, it's enough for me right now."
Lin Bei looked at the blueprint's attribute description and nodded in satisfaction.
Following this, he directly submitted 5 loaves of bread and 5 bottles of water, plus 1 box of spam, on the trade interface and clicked Confirm Trade.
After doing all this, he looked back at the small mountain of supplies still piled up, couldn't help but sigh, and muttered to himself, "Sigh, I must expand the size of the Island as soon as possible, or else I really won't have a place to stand in a few days."
He currently has the Resource Critical Hit System. Every time he harvests supplies, a critical hit occurs. If he gets possessed by the King of Europe and triggers a ten-thousand-fold critical hit, his current little broken Island would probably sink instantly under the massive supplies raining down from the sky, washing him into the sea.
If that really happened, he would be completely done for.
"Sigh, I can only say... having too many supplies... is sometimes a problem too."
Lin Bei sighed.
However, when he looked up at the trade interface again, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the other party hadn't confirmed the trade.
"Could it be... that the other party thinks I offered too few supplies?"
Lin Bei frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Speaking honestly, the price he offered was already very generous. Five loaves of bread, five bottles of purified water, plus one box of spam—that was enough for one person to survive for at least three days.
With these three days, the other party could completely acquire more survival supplies using the Beginner Fishing Rod!
Although he had many supplies, he wasn't a fool.
If someone tried to fleece him, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson!
However, just as Lin Bei was pondering how to handle the current situation, the trade interface updated.
"This is..."
Lin Bei was slightly startled, his gaze falling upon a special scroll radiating purple light that had appeared on the trade interface.
[Synthesis Scroll]
Level: 1
Quality: excellent
Description: A powerful scroll possessing magical strength, capable of combining many identical low-grade items into a single high-grade item.
Note: 1. Every 10 identical items can be synthesized into 1 item of a higher grade.
2. More identical items can be consumed to synthesize a higher-grade item in a single attempt.
3. The highest quality of the synthesized product will not exceed the Excellent Grade.
durability: 1
..."Holy crap! It's actually an Excellent-Grade Item! Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Lin Bei froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
He quickly opened his Survivor Bracelet to check the item grade classifications.
Soon, he got the result he wanted.
In the Island Survival World, all items are divided into several grades from lowest to highest based on quality: inferior, common, Intermediate (superior), Advanced (Fine), excellent, Perfect, and Extraordinary.
As for whether there were higher-grade items above Extraordinary, the answer was yes.
It was just that Lin Bei was currently only a Level 1 Island Owner and lacked the permission to view them.
At this moment, Lin Bei's body was trembling slightly.
He glanced at the Beginner Fishing Rods piled up on the side of the Island and took a deep breath.
For him, this Synthesis Scroll that the other party intended to trade was simply too important!
[Beginner Fishing Rod]
Level: 1
Quality: inferior
Description: A barely usable Beginner Fishing Rod with no additional effects and extremely low fishing efficiency.
Hook Rate: Inferior supply treasure boxes 98.8%, Ordinary supply treasure boxes 1.1%, Good supply treasure boxes 0.1%.
durability: 50
...Lin Bei currently possessed 1,000 Beginner Fishing Rods!
If he could synthesize all of them... "Hello, Big Brother Beiming, you gave me way too many supplies. I... I don't have many superior things on hand, only this scroll is decent. Please accept it."
Just as Lin Bei was figuring out how to secure this Excellent-Grade Synthesis Scroll, Bei Bei Nan Gua sent a message through the private chat interface, causing Lin Bei's mouth to drop open, completely throwing him off balance.
"Holy crap, he just gave me such a precious scroll for free?"
"Just because I traded him 5 loaves of bread, 5 bottles of purified water, and 1 box of spam?"
"Uh, this..."
Lin Bei really wanted to click Confirm Trade immediately.
But his conscience was suffering.
"Sigh, it's hard to be a Shrewd Businessman."
Lin Bei sighed heavily, gritted his teeth, and submitted another 20 loaves of bread, 20 bottles of purified water, and 5 boxes of spam.
This many supplies were enough for the other party to survive comfortably for a week.
"Big Brother Beiming! You... these supplies..."
"Sigh, just accept them."
Lin Bei replied, and then clicked Confirm Trade.
However, the other party was slow to click Confirm.
Lin Bei grew anxious, fearing the other party might cancel the trade, so he said seriously, "Hurry up and trade. Just consider it making a friend. Just remember to consider me if you get any superior stuff later!"
"Oh, and... you absolutely must survive well. I'm counting on you to trade me more superior stuff in the future."
After speaking, Lin Bei added another sentence, then stared intently at the trade interface.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Bei Bei Nan Gua clicked Confirm.
"Mhm, I understand. Also... thank you, Big Brother Beiming! If I didn't have these supplies from you, I don't know what I would have done!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely survive well!"
Seeing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Bei's mouth: "You're welcome. Remember to look for me to trade superior items in the future! The price will definitely be fair!"
"Mhm mhm!"
..."Hoo—"
Seeing the trade complete, Lin Bei finally let out a long breath.
"It's finally done!"
"Putting everything else aside, this Survivor named Bei Bei Nan Gua is really lucky to have opened an Excellent-Grade Item on the very first day!"
"Sigh, compared to him, I'm too common. I have nothing... except a 1000x Critical Hit..."
Lin Bei sighed with deep emotion.
He then glanced at the supplies still piled up like a mountain, feeling a sense of monotony in his heart.
"Besides food and water, I truly have nothing."
Lin Bei sighed, then, holding the Excellent-Grade Synthesis Scroll radiating purple light, he walked up to the pile of Beginner Fishing Rods and, without any hesitation, used the Synthesis Scroll on them.
[Prompt: Do you want to use the Synthesis Scroll (Excellent Grade) to synthesize 1,000 Beginner Fishing Rods (inferior)?]
"Yes!"
[Prompt: Successfully used Synthesis Scroll (Excellent Grade)!]
From the scroll spread out in Lin Bei's hand, mysterious and dazzling purple lights leaped out like nimble elves.
These lights seemed to possess life, spreading rapidly in all directions and instantly enveloping all the surrounding Beginner Fishing Rods.
The Beginner Fishing Rods wrapped in purple light began to tremble slightly, as if responding to the call of this mysterious power.
They intertwined and fused together, forming a massive ball of light.
Soon, the ball of light continuously contracted and condensed.
After about half a minute, the light slowly subsided, and a dazzling purple-gold color suddenly burst forth.
Lin Bei looked closely, only to see that the common Beginner Fishing Rods had vanished, replaced by a Purple-Gold Fishing Rod of exquisite craftsmanship!
[Prompt: Congratulations! You have obtained Advanced Fishing Rod (Fine Grade) ×1!]
[Prompt: Congratulations! 10x Critical Hit triggered! You have obtained Master-Level Fishing Rod (Excellent Grade) ×1!]
Lin Bei was dumbfounded.
His eyes were dull, and he muttered to himself:
"It... it actually critically hit? And... it wasn't a quantity critical hit?"
"Can quality also critically hit?"
What the heck?
