"You eat, I'm not hungry."
Lin Bei glanced at the huge Roasted Shark-Fin held in Nilu's chubby little hands, then at the reluctant expression on her face. The sneer on his lips immediately softened a bit, and a gentle look flashed in his eyes.
"R-really?"
Nilu, chewing on roasted meat, asked indistinctly.
"Mm, really."
"Then I... I'll eat it myself!"
"Mm, it's all yours. Eat as much as you want."
"Hehe, thank you, Big Brother Bei!"
Nilu's small face lit up with joy. She then smiled brightly at Lin Bei and hurried away with the Roasted Shark-Fin, as if Lin Bei would go back on his word if she ran a step slower.
"This girl..."
Lin Bei watched Nilu's small, fleeing back and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
However, just as Lin Bei's thoughts were momentarily focused on the joyful little Nilu eating roasted meat, "Facing the Gale" couldn't help but urge again:
"Hey, I lent you the pistol because I considered you a friend. You wouldn't be ungrateful and refuse to return it, would you?"
"Besides, that pistol must have helped you a lot with your current gains, right?"
"So, to be honest, I've been very generous. Not only did I lend you the pistol, but I'm also willing to give you a primal stone, Beiming, I advise you to be kind!"
"Also, if you don't return my stuff, I'll expose your shameless behavior in the public chat channel! I'll ruin your reputation!"
The other party sent several messages in a row.
With each message Lin Bei read, the sneer on his lips grew colder.
Look at this, is this even human language?
Did you lend me that pistol?
I got that through trading food and water!
Also, don't you find it ridiculous that your words are so disjointed?
And you're still telling me to be kind?
You were mocked by the entire district yesterday. If I hadn't been willing to trade food and water with you, would you have lived to see today?
Lin Bei's face was icy cold. Faced with "Facing the Gale's" idiotic words and actions, he found it both hateful and laughable.
With his current resource reserves, he didn't lack that broken pistol at all.
He had opened a pile of supply treasure chests before, and there were a lot of various firearm blueprints, many of which were of Fine quality. Any single gun from those would be worth a hundred of those broken pistols.
If the other party hadn't been twisting facts and had spoken properly, he might have even given them a better rifle out of consideration for their first trade.
But now, not only had he already traded that pistol to Bei Bei Nan Gua for self-defense, even if it were still on him, he absolutely wouldn't give the gun to the other party!
"Ungrateful wretch!"
Lin Bei snorted coldly.
Then, he directly placed three items on the Trading Hall interface.
They were a bale of hay, a handful of dirt, and a piece of linen.
"What do you mean by this?"
On the other side, seeing the items refresh on the Trading Hall interface, "Facing the Gale's" face, which had initially lit up with joy, stiffened. A look of confusion and coldness flashed in his eyes.
He wanted a pistol!
Not these trash materials!
After yesterday's monster invasion event, his biggest regret was selling his pistol to Beiming for cheap!
Now, he just wanted his pistol back!
To be honest, offering the other party a primal stone was already him showing respect for their willingness to trade him food and water yesterday!
You know, the market price for a primal stone is very expensive right now!
In the private chat interface, Lin Bei saw that since the other party had sincerely asked, he decided to graciously explain.
So, he enthusiastically typed out a message.
"Idiot, can't you tell what it means? hay, dirt, linen = cǎo + ní + má! Get it? You piece of shit! Adding you as a friend was truly a moment of pure idiocy!"
After clicking send, the pent-up frustration in Lin Bei's heart immediately dissipated with the [Send] button.
At this moment, he only felt a sense of mental clarity.
"Damn it, you can't spoil this kind of idiot! If he needs scolding, then scold him!"
"My excitement from triggering the ten-thousand-fold Critical Hit was dampened quite a bit by this idiot, how unlucky!"
Lin Bei grumbled, a smile spreading across his lips, refusing to fade.
"Beiming! Don't go too far! I was speaking to you politely just now to give you face! You forcefully occupy my pistol and refuse to return it, and you think you're in the right?"
Facing the Gale was furious, his face turning liver-colored from anger.
Last night, he received a private message from Turkey-Flavored Potba.
Initially, he didn't want to bother with the guy he had argued with in the public chat channel during the day.
However, the other party sent several messages consecutively, so he impatiently clicked to check them.
As a result, he was completely stunned by what he saw.
Only then did he truly realize how much he had lost!
"The pistol is actually so useful?"
"This Turkey-Flavored Potba actually killed several people with a gun and got a lot of resources?"
"Damn it! Why didn't this guy say so earlier?"
Facing the Gale was filled with regret, tossing and turning all night.
Malice grew in his heart.
He had also found a wooden boat blueprint during the day. If he had a gun, he could also go out to sea and hunt those Survivors!
The abundant supplies sent by Turkey-Flavored Potba made him incredibly envious!
Because of this, he mustered his courage and asked Lin Bei to return his pistol.
In his opinion, the other party had taken a huge advantage of him yesterday!
If he were smart, he should honestly return the pistol!
After all, the other party only had a hundred bullets, while he himself firmly controlled the supply chain for producing bullets!
Once he cut off the ammunition supply, the pistol in the other party's hands would be nothing more than a piece of junk!
He only needed to play a small trick to easily control the other party!
Once the plan succeeded, wouldn't he be able to get as many resources as he wanted from the other party?
To be honest, after seeing what Beiming had listed in the Trading Hall all morning, he had been drooling with envy!
"These are all mine! All mine!"
His heart was fervent, and he had long lost his reason.
"Idiot."
However, Lin Bei's reply was just two simple words.
Then, he directly blocked the person.
He no longer wanted to waste any energy on this idiot.
He was very busy and didn't have time to play house with an imbecile.
On the other side, looking at the completely black chat interface, Facing the Gale's face instantly became distorted, and he cursed loudly:
"Is this Beiming an idiot? If he thinks it's not suitable, we can discuss it again! What's the deal with blocking me?"
"I have bullets, he has resources. As long as the conditions are right, we can totally cooperate for a win-win situation!"
"By doing this, not only does he end up without bullets, but he also puts both of us in a difficult situation! It's completely self-defeating!"
"What the hell does he want? Is he brain-damaged?"
However, there was only him on the isolated island. No matter how loudly he shouted, no one cared.
On the other side, Lin Bei's mind flashed with the name "Bei Bei Nan Gua," and he thought of how the other party had given him an excellent quality Activity Gift Pack without batting an eye. Comparing the two, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Alas, sometimes the difference between people is truly greater than the difference between people and dogs."
But before he could calm his emotions, he suddenly froze and murmured:
"Right, how could I forget about the excellent grade Activity Gift Pack?"
He quickly opened the storage space of the Trading Hall and saw a package emitting a faint purple light in the corner.
This was the Activity Gift Pack that Bei Bei Nan Gua had given him for free after the invasion event ended yesterday.
"Almost messed up! But it's good that I remembered now! Speaking of which, I should thank Facing the Gale. If it weren't for him, who knows when I would have thought of this!"
"But it's not too late to open it now. Maybe I can even get something good with the luck from the ten-thousand-fold Critical Hit just now!"
With a thought, he extracted the Activity Gift Pack from the Trading Hall's storage space and directly chose to open it.
[Prompt: Successfully opened an excellent Gift Pack! You triggered a one hundred-fold Critical Hit effect!]
"Oh, a hundred-fold Critical Hit?"
"Looks like my luck isn't bad!"
Lin Bei's lips curled upwards, feeling extremely satisfied.
The next second, the purple light condensed, then gradually transformed into orange, and slowly, a dazzling golden light emerged.
"Holy crap, this is... a hundred-fold Quality Critical Hit?!"
"Could it be... I'm about to get my second Transcendent Item?"
Lin Bei's eyes were dazed, his expression bewildered.
This Bei Bei Nan Gua... truly was his lucky star!
Not to mention the excellent grade Synthesis Scroll from the beginning, now there's another Transcendent Item!
This...
