The originally tense atmosphere was suddenly covered by an awkward veil due to this unexpected outcome.
For a moment, Lin Bei felt a little restless.
"The monster invasion lasts for three hours in total, and it will take some time for the experience points to arrive."
"What should I do?"
Lin Bei fell into deep thought.
He opened the chat channel, his brows slightly furrowed.
Unlike his own monster invasion, which ended before it even began, the other Survivors in the chat channel seemed to be facing various dangers at this moment.
"Damn it! I actually found a Great White Shark! It keeps attacking my Island, and my Survival Bracelet keeps giving danger alerts. In less than ten minutes, my Island has already had a 1 square meter area destroyed!"
"I also have a Great White Shark attacking here, and in addition, there are some other unknown Marine Creatures impacting the coastline of the Island. My Island area has also decreased!"
"Everyone, put in more effort! I luckily killed a few of these sea fish, and the system prompt says they are non-toxic and edible! Whether we can eat seafood tonight depends on this wave!"
"Everyone, don't give up! The main target of these Marine Creatures' attacks is our Island. As long as we attack them with spears while they are impacting the Island, we can effectively slow down their destruction of the Island!"
"Damn it, I'm going to risk my life today to kill that hateful Great White Shark! It destroyed one-third of my Island, it must be on my dinner table! I said it, not even Jesus can save it!"
In the chat channel, many Survivors were encouraging each other, bursting with unprecedented fighting spirit.
Lin Bei also learned some useful information from this.
First, almost all Survivors encountered an attack from a Great White Shark during this monster invasion.
Second, the invading Marine Creatures would only prioritize attacking the Island and would not actively attack the Island owner.
As for other Marine Creatures besides the Great White Shark, they were just some relatively large sea fish. Although their numbers were not small, their lethality was very limited.
Therefore, as long as the Survivors could block the Great White Shark's impact on the Island within a certain period, they should not suffer too much damage when the invasion ended.
However, the Island area would more or less decrease due to the impact of the Marine Creatures.
But being able to save one's life was already a blessing in disguise.
He thought for a moment and decided to add fuel to the fire for the reinvigorated crowd.
Beiming: "High price for shark fin across the entire server! Don't miss it if you pass by!"
Lin Bei posted a message in the public chat channel, then opened the Trading Hall and published a purchase list, using some of his excess primal stone to exchange for shark fin.
This way, he could both eat delicious roasted fish fin himself and help those Survivors whose Islands were damaged rebuild their Islands, a win-win cooperation.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Bei spoke, most Survivors erupted with terrifying will to survive, roaring and picking up their various weapons, charging fiercely towards the Great White Sharks impacting the Islands!
Seeing everyone in the chat channel regain their spirits, Lin Bei's lips curved slightly upward.
However, his actions deeply hurt Xiang Ru Fei Fei, who was still continuously raising the price of hardwood spears.
"Damn it! You're truly damned! You're blocking my path to wealth! Damn it, I'll remember you! One day..."
On a solitary Island, a youth with a pompadour hairstyle loudly roared while holding a spear and attacking Marine Creatures.
But if Lin Bei were nearby, he would immediately see that the spear in the other party's hand was not a hardwood spear at all, but the Fine spear he had just put up for sale in the Trading Hall... On the other side, after listing the Fine spear, Lin Bei sent another private message to Bei Bei Nan Gua, asking about her situation.
Soon, the other party replied. Bei Bei Nan Gua not only didn't encounter any danger but also caught a pair of shark fins and asked if he needed them.
Lin Bei felt both surprised and that it was only natural.
Ultimately, Lin Bei shamelessly accepted the two shark fins, then placed them on the fully automatic grill, waiting patiently, ready to feast.
However, since he was idle anyway, Lin Bei simply opened all the supply treasure chests he had obtained from automatic fishing.
There were 10 treasure chests in total: 3 common treasure chests, 3 excellent treasure chests, and 4 Fine treasure chests.
This time, his luck was a bit bad, and he didn't get an excellent treasure chest.
However, Lin Bei didn't mind and opened all the treasure chests.
Soon, a pile of supplies accumulated in the warehouse.
There was nothing special to say about the common treasure chests; they only triggered a basic ten-fold quantity critical hit, yielding some basic materials, bread, and purified water.
As for the excellent treasure chests, one triggered a ten-fold quality critical hit and two triggered ten-fold quantity critical hits.
The quantity critical hit gave him a lot of materials and food.
The quality critical hit gave him a permanent Fine quality War Spear Design Blueprint and some other Fine materials.
With the Fine quality War Spear Design Blueprint, Lin Bei immediately had an idea. He directly used hardwood and Metal Sheets to produce thousands of war spears, throwing them all into the Trading Hall for sale at very favorable prices.
Soon, many Survivors saw their strength increase after obtaining Fine war spears, and pleasing battle results against the Great White Sharks were frequently reported.
In the Trading Hall, Lin Bei's previous orders to purchase shark fins gradually began to be fulfilled.
Seeing this, Lin Bei's lips curled into a smile.
"This is a virtuous cycle. All these people are excellent productivity for me. As long as they live, they will always create more value for me."
Lin Bei gave a big thumbs up to these brave Survivors in his heart, then turned his attention back to the supplies opened from several Fine treasure chests.
[Prompt: Successfully opened Fine treasure chest! You triggered a 100x Critical Hit!]
[Prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained 100 Treasure Chest Keys!]
"Holy crap! It's finally open for business! And it's a big one right off the bat!"
Lin Bei exclaimed, his eyes almost glowing as he looked at a Fine treasure chest.
Although this treasure chest, contrary to common sense, only yielded one type of item, it directly gave him the Treasure Chest Key he had longed for, and it triggered a hundred-fold quantity critical hit!
In an instant, he obtained a full hundred Treasure Chest Keys!
"Awesome! Hahaha! Now I don't have to worry about not having keys to open excellent treasure chests anymore!"
Lin Bei laughed so hard he couldn't close his mouth.
But suddenly, his smile froze, and he looked at the opened treasure chests around him with a bitter expression.
"Damn it, now the keys are coming out, but the treasure chests aren't! Ugh!"
Lin Bei felt like cursing.
He stared intently at the excellent Master Fishing Rod he had put away, saying word by word: "Old pal, I'm counting on you from now on! You must fish up more excellent treasure chests for me!"
He had put away the fishing rod earlier because he was worried that monster invasion would damage it. Now that the trouble was resolved, he naturally had to set up the fishing rod again and continue fishing for treasure chests.
Besides the 100 Treasure Chest Keys from one Fine treasure chest, Lin Bei also opened many other useful good things from the other Fine treasure chests.
Among them were blueprints for Lighters and invigorating cigarettes, which would be Lin Bei's source of income in the future!
In addition, he also opened ten Fine Tang Swords. Lin Bei didn't hesitate and directly traded two Tang Swords to Bei Bei Nan Gua, further enhancing the latter's combat power.
After opening all the treasure chests, Lin Bei found that a small portion of the second floor of his warehouse was already occupied.
"It seems I won't be able to hold out for long before I have to expand the Island area again."
Lin Bei sighed in his heart.
The Resource Critical Hit System was indeed great, but the massive amount of resources it produced also took up a lot of space.
Therefore, in order to place these mountains of resources on the Island, he would have to further expand the Island in the future.
[Ding! Your purchase order has been completed!]
Suddenly, his wristband vibrated, emitting a prompt.
Lin Bei's face showed surprise.
The Marine Creature invasion had only started less than an hour ago, and the order was already completed?
He opened the Trading Hall, and sure enough, his previous order for 100 shark fins was already in a locked and completed state.
He didn't rush to retrieve these shark fins but continued to post an order to purchase another 100 shark fins.
In less than ten minutes, the order was completed again.
"Their strength is pretty good."
Lin Bei praised from the bottom of his heart.
To be honest, if he were still the weakling he was before, and without the help of the Resource Critical Hit System, even if someone gave him a Fine war spear, he might not have the courage to rush to the shore and fight the Great White Shark.
No way, he was a Landlubber. If he accidentally fell into the water, even if those Marine Creatures didn't attack him, he would still be dead.
"Alas, not being able to swim is always a hidden danger in the Island Survival World."
"If only I could open a Swimming Pool Design Blueprint, then I could slowly learn on the Island."
"It's a pity my luck isn't good enough."
Lin Bei was helpless, but his obsession with a swimming pool grew deeper and deeper in his heart.
Of course, it would be best if he could also open a few good quality Swimming Rings.
That way, he would be completely at ease... Just like that, Lin Bei traded a total of 500 shark fins before stopping his purchases.
Although the storage space in the Ice Maker could be used as a refrigerator, he was not in a hurry to take these shark fins out of the Trading Hall's trading space.
Because items placed in the trading space could maintain their freshness indefinitely, once placed in a refrigerator, the freshness would inevitably drop by more than one grade.
Therefore, unless it was about to be cleared out, he would not take out these fresh ingredients in advance.
Time passed quickly. Unknowingly, another half an hour went by, and the two shark fins on the fully automatic grill finally emitted an enticing aroma.
With a "ding," a prompt appeared, indicating that the roasted shark fins were cooked. After waiting so long, he could finally feast!
"Oh, right, I can't forget to post a picture!"
"When there's good food, everyone must witness it for a sense of ceremony!"
Lin Bei casually took a staged photo of himself comfortably eating shark fins at night. Only after the public chat channel became lively again did he contentedly continue to gnaw on the delicious roasted shark fins in his hand.
Of course, he didn't forget to trade the other shark fin to Bei Bei Nan Gua.
After all, it was given to him by the other party, and necessary reciprocity should not be forgotten.
Human interactions have always been reciprocal.
Constantly taking will only lead to drifting apart... Three hours passed in a flash.
In the public channel, there were originally about 9,500 Survivors, but now only over 8,600 remained.
In just three hours, nearly a thousand people had died.
However, before everyone could grieve, a loud announcement once again echoed across the sky.
[Announcement: Marine Creature invasion has ended! Congratulations to all surviving Survivors, you have successfully passed the first night of Island Survival! Please continue to work hard!]
[Final reward settlement in progress, please wait...]
Everyone looked forward with anticipation, waiting for the final rewards.
On the other side, Lin Bei had already opened his attribute panel and was lying flat on the warehouse floor, gritting his teeth and waiting for the rewards to arrive.
This time, he was already prepared.
No matter how much it hurt, he would endure it!
