“A large amount of fine-grade water sources and a small amount of excellent-grade water sources in exchange for attack or self-defense items. Interested friends, contact me via Private Chat. Note: Sweet Spring Water and purified seawater information.”
At this time, the World Chat Channel was practically filled with people offering various items in exchange for wood, or food and water sources in exchange for stone, and so on.
After Li Qinglang sent his information, it was quickly pushed far down the chat.
As a result, only a few scattered private chats came in, and none contained what Li Qinglang wanted.
“Brother, I have a dagger here. Want to trade? It’s an excellent weapon for sneak attacks and assassinations.”
【Iron dagger（ordinary）】
Introduction: Compared with other blades, it can still be considered sharp!
To be honest, this shabby little dagger had less killing power than a pickaxe for someone like Li Qinglang, who had never undergone specialized training.
“I have a powerful weapon here. No 998—I only want you to bring some purified seawater home for me.”
【Concentrated Five-Pace Viper Venom（Fine）】
Introduction: The legendary deadly poison that causes a person to die after taking no more than five steps after being bitten. Although the actual situation is not quite so exaggerated, after being concentrated, this venom can completely match—or even surpass—that reputation!
At first glance, this venom seemed pretty good, and Li Qinglang instantly felt an urge to buy it.
But after thinking it over carefully, he realized that this venom was not even as useful as the iron dagger.
If he encountered some unknown monster, could Li Qinglang really pry open its mouth and pour poison down its throat?
If he had that ability, why use poison? He could just slap it to death.
Of course, this bottle of venom was still extremely useful to certain people. After all, as mentioned, Li Qinglang had never undergone professional combat training.
He definitely could not fight head-on, but if it were a special forces soldier or someone trained in martial arts, they could coat a weapon with venom and transform directly into someone who could take three thousand lives!
Ignoring these items that were not very useful to him, Li Qinglang could only slowly browse the sales information in the chat channel.
Overall, the quality of the items being offered for trade in the channel at this time was quite good. At least they were more practical than the chaotic assortment of things in the Exchange.
For example, several items among them made Li Qinglang very tempted:
“Charcoal-making scroll in exchange for 20 stones. Only one available, first come, first served.”
【Charcoal-making scroll（good）】
Required material: Wood*1
Introduction: Once the required material is gathered, this can make fine charcoal. Compared with an open flame, it produces a higher temperature, less smoke, and has a longer burning time.
“A comfortable bed, the perfect choice for recuperating and relaxing your body and mind. Now it only costs 50 wood!”
【Brown-rope Single bed（ordinary）】
Introduction: The frame is made of wood, while the bedboard is woven from sturdy brown rope. It is sturdy and durable while also possessing a certain degree of elasticity, making it more comfortable than an ordinary wooden bed.
“Farmers, take a look! food freedom is right before your eyes. Exchange 30 stones for this, and you can get a small knife.”
【Organic fertilizer（Fine）】
Introduction: Purely natural and pollution-free fertilizer that provides plants with a certain amount of nutrients and slightly accelerates their maturity.
Common plant: accelerated by twenty percent
Fine plant: accelerated by ten percent
Excellent plant: accelerated by one percent
The various items were diverse and practical, while their prices were cheap.
Li Qinglang could be certain that most of the items being sold in the chat channel would cost several times more after today. They might even become impossible to trade for ordinary wood and stone!
It was precisely because everyone was rushing to build a Level-Two Shelter during this period that material prices had skyrocketed. Scarcity breeds value, which was why these items were such a bargain.
“I really want to buy all of them. I wonder how many good things that tycoon Wang Yixin collected tonight.”
As he sighed with emotion, a private message arrived;
He Yajun: “big shot, big shot, I have a few things you might need. Could you trade some spring water to me?”
The name He Yajun seemed somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, Li Qinglang suddenly remembered: Wasn’t he the person who had opened an Excellent Grade Flameburst Greatsword from an Azure Treasure Chest?
Li Qinglang had been extremely envious when he saw that sword back then. After all, what man would not love a sword that could set itself ablaze!
“Could this guy be planning to sell me the Flameburst Greatsword? I can’t afford it!”
Looking down at the item information, Li Qinglang realized he had been overthinking it. Even so, it still brought him many surprises;
【Shi Gu Sand（Fine）】
Introduction: This item is contained in a glass bottle and holds approximately 350 milliliters. Upon contact with air, it becomes highly corrosive.
【Glowing Barbie Doll（Fine）】
Introduction: A finely crafted Barbie Doll. After winding the spring on its back, it emits multicolored light. The light can attract nearby creatures and lasts for ten seconds.
【Zhuge repeating crossbow（Fine）】
Introduction: A crossbow capable of continuously firing multiple arrows. It is finely crafted, possesses moderate power within a range of thirty meters, and comes equipped with ten crossbow bolts.
……
Li Qinglang: “Don’t call me a big shot. I can’t live up to that. You’re the real big shot.”
He Yajun: “Hehe, all of mine are fine-grade, while your spring water is excellent-grade. You’re the big shot.”
Li Qinglang: “In that case, we’re both big shots, hahaha（hands-on-hips laughter）”
He Yajun: “Hahahaha（hands-on-hips laughter）”
……
He Yajun: “Let’s talk business, big shot. Do you like any of these items? I do have some other items, but these three are the most practical. Do you think you could trade me some spring water?”
Li Qinglang: “You have more? Where did you get so many fine items? Don’t tell me you robbed the System Shop?”
He Yajun: “What are you talking about? I got all of these by working hard to kill monsters.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qinglang was startled—not because the Mist Continent was like a game where killing monsters produced equipment, but because he was shocked by He Yajun’s strength!
He had not encountered any other creatures yet, but Li Qinglang believed that effort and harvest were proportional. A monster capable of dropping fine-grade items was definitely no pushover.
Even with the Flameburst Greatsword’s enhancement, an ordinary person could not accomplish what He Yajun had.
It had to be known that he had not merely obtained one item, but several. This meant that He Yajun had hunted at least two creatures!
Li Qinglang: “He big shot, may I ask what you did on Blue Star before this?”
He Yajun: “Me? I used to be an assassin on the Dark Web, one of the top-ranked kind（toothy grin）”
“Damn!”
Li Qinglang’s jaw dropped in shock!
Although He Yajun’s words were difficult to believe, combined with his formidable Battle prowess, they were impossible not to believe!
Li Qinglang had always thought that Dark Web assassins were merely fictional creations from various novels and did not exist in the real world at all.
But now that he thought about it, were assassins really all as eccentric as He Yajun, or was cultivating such a contrast fashionable nowadays?
He Yajun: “Brother, you have no idea. When I was an assassin, I spent every day thinking about hiding my identity. I had twenty or thirty identity cards and passports from various countries alone.
Now I can finally say it loudly and openly, hahaha.”
All right, it seemed this guy had been holding it in for too long…
Li Qinglang: “Killer Bro, these three items of yours are pretty good. Let me think about it, okay?”
He Yajun: “No problem. I’ll wait for your reply.”
