Market Crushed, Everyone Reaps the Harvest!

As evening approached, despite the "special effects" of the Shan Hai Painting card interfering, Fengzi Ge's large plant Culture Medium arrived as promised, appearing in the Trading Market very punctually at this time of evening.

Unfortunately, without Su Mo's participation this time, the other bids were largely the same as in the real world, and no items appeared that could alleviate his injuries.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mo took out the little remaining Psionic Water from his Storage Space, hung it up, and added a liter of water, essentially giving Fengzi Ge away as a bargain.

"I didn't participate in this transaction, and I don't know if Feng Mengyue's rare glass was sold."

After browsing the Trading Market for a while, Su Mo quickly grasped the current market conditions and the price trends of various items.

The time travel was too short, and most people, even with tutorials, couldn't produce much water to drink, barely managing to survive on the brink of thirst.

Of all the items and materials traded, 99% of what players wanted to exchange was water! Whether it was fresh water or muddy water, as long as it was drinkable and could help them get through the toughest part of the next day, these people would accept it all.

Of course, most people couldn't find any rare items and could only hold onto their meager supplies, begging someone to take a liking to their tattered belongings and trade them for a drink of water to sustain their lives.

"Iron Block and wooden blocks are mostly ordinary objects!"

After looking around, Su Mo realized that most of the "rare" items in the minds of ordinary people were of excellent quality, with only a handful being of superior quality. With a sudden thought, Su Mo began to do something that had only ever happened in his imagination.

Trade!

Large-scale transaction!

Any item with attributes, regardless of how much you hang on it, whether it's three liters of water or two liters of water.

Regardless of how many of these items there were, as long as they exceeded the ordinary quality, Su Mo bought them all without hesitation.

In an instant, the springs filled with countless fresh water began to be absorbed and spewed out by the Game Panel.

Before him, a deep pool of water stretched as far as the eye could see, and Su Mo laughed unrestrainedly as he watched the dozens of tons of water appear in the trading system on the Game Panel in a single second.

As the only trader in the wasteland with a water source, this deep, bottomless spring is an unimaginable and terrifying treasure! No one can resist the temptation of fresh water, and no one can remain calm under such a large-scale acquisition.

That is indeed the case.

As night fell and everyone lay in their shelters, checking the Trading Market and chat channels, without exception, wherever there were people in the wasteland, an uproar erupted! The Area Channel and World Channel were completely in chaos!

"Someone's going on a shopping spree! Holy crap, this is outrageous! Several four- or five-liter bottles of water that I just saw were instantly sold out!"

"I just saw 2239 items of excellent quality or higher in the filter, but now there are only 340 left! Holy crap! There are only 300 left!"

"It's over, everything's been bought up! All items of excellent quality and above are sold out instantly! No matter how many liters of water you list, they're all gone in a flash!"

"Who did this? Could it be a bug in the trading system? All these items have been confiscated!"

"Su Mo, there's a player named Su Mo who's going on a buying frenzy, he's gone completely mad!"

"I don't know, and I dare not ask. I believe in love again!"

Mountains of items began to appear on the open space near the spring, and in the blink of an eye, the originally gray-black land was gradually covered with various items that had flowed down from the hill.

Under the starlit night Starry Sky of the wasteland, these items each shimmered with their own unique colors, illuminating the entire sky with a touch of color. "Only this much? I really overestimated the progress of the wasteland humans. But we can't delay any longer, or it will be difficult to complete the mission!"

Having acquired nearly 3,000 items of excellent quality or higher, Su Mo smacked his lips, feeling utterly unsatisfied.

Such gains would be enough to propel a team to new heights in the real world, but unfortunately, they cannot be immediately added to combat power within the Time Ruins.

"Next, we'll be buying up food, Iron Block, copper blocks, and all sorts of rare metal resources!"

Seeing the commotion on the system chat interface, Su Mo waved his hand and set a price of 200 ml of water for one iron Iron Block, 300 ml of water for one copper block, and began a frenzied acquisition of rare metal ore resources, ranging from 500 ml to 5 L, depending on the type.

As for food, it was even more terrifying. An equivalent amount of vegetarian food could be exchanged for three times the amount of drinking water, and an equivalent amount of meat could be exchanged for five, eight, or even ten times the amount!

A 200g piece of beef can be exchanged for 1L of drinking water. Such an exchange price made even the Squirrel Party players who planned to keep the meat in their hands immediately open the trading panel, afraid that they would be too slow and Su Mo's water would be sold out!

With a flash of light, the Game Panel began drawing freshwater resources again.

In the section for submitting traded items, the price of fresh water began to rise crazily, ton by ton, and in the blink of an eye, it reached a staggering 5,000 tons! This terrifying amount of resources, when divided among the human population, is not much for each individual.

At a price of 2,000 Iron Block per ton, just 5,000 tons of water could buy a full ten million Iron Block.

With a whoosh, a frenzy of buying ensued as soon as the trade was listed, and the notifications of successful trades filled Su Mo's ears incessantly.

At this moment, no one cared where this suddenly appearing Su Mo got so much fresh water from.

Without exception, all the crazy humans who had access to mines rushed out into the darkness.

The once towering and solid mine now resembles a treasure trove shimmering with Golden Light.

One swing of the axe could buy half a day's worth of water, and half an hour's worth could buy a week's worth! Everyone was afraid that the freshwater would run out and that Su Mo would stop buying.

Therefore, driven by price and a sense of crisis, the speed was astonishing.

They worked hard, worked like madmen, and the hoes in everyone's hands were already blurring into shadows, the thumping sounds from the mine becoming a continuous chorus.

With prices like these and reserves like these, how could anyone not go crazy! "Won't our freshwater run out of stock?!"

Amidst the flurry of busy harvests and the repeated actions of posting, Zhong Qingshu unknowingly came into her life.

Watching Su Mo experience both pain and pleasure, Zhong Qingshu's eyes showed shock, but having witnessed the methods of gods and demons that afternoon, she had become much more accepting of the nearby "treasure" site and the continuous stream of Iron Block falling from the sky.

"Don't worry, even if everyone in the world relied on us for supplies, it would be enough for them to drink for hundreds of years!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's affirmative reply, Zhong Qingshu's face lit up with surprise.

"Real?"

"Really! Also, hurry up and help me move all these things we just traded into our warehouse. Don't worry about the Iron Block, just go!"

Having received his instructions, and seeing Zhong Qingshu leave quickly with a happy and energetic expression, Su Mo continued to acquire Iron Block to complete the previously formulated plan.

The ten million units of Iron Block acquired in the trade sounded outrageous. After spending several hundred Survival Points to integrate them into three nearby mountains, Su Mo was astonished to find that not even two of them had been fully integrated.

"No, we need to urge these people to collect another batch as soon as possible. At least we need to turn all four nearby mountains into Iron Mountain!"

The system's object replacement price is very cheap, which is why Su Mo dares to exchange basic materials in this way.

After some adjustments, with the price of Iron Block set at 500ml and copper blocks at 1L, the acquisition speed finally picked up this time due to the high profits.

Who would have thought that with just a flick of his finger, Su Mo could turn hundreds of millions of people scattered around the mines into a frenzy, like mad dogs, hunched over the mines and working like madmen?

Who can imagine how exaggerated the effect would be if resources from hundreds of millions of people were used to support only one person?

In less than an hour, all the miners on the mountain were astonished to discover that they had actually collected enough fresh water for the next month.

Some large families, with four or five, or even six or seven members, have managed to pool their resources and use them sparingly enough for three to five months of fresh water.

A look of astonishment appeared on everyone's face. Only then did they realize that the once pitch-black mine had been illuminated by hundreds or even thousands of torches from humans.

The mountains were glowing, and the plains were no exception! Seeing that the Iron Block and copper blocks had been used to build four great mountains, Su Mo clapped his hands in satisfaction and then purchased new materials.

Trees!

Moreover, there is a huge demand for trees.

It cannot be timber, but must be trees with roots, even if the roots are small!

Furthermore, Su Mo offered an unprecedented price of one hundred liters of water for the tree! One tree for one hundred liters of water sounds crazy, but the exchange was even crazier.

In less than ten minutes, more than three thousand saplings uprooted by humans appeared on the ground. Then, driven by the system, all the saplings fulfilled their mission and went to where they were supposed to go.

The Hope Plain, which was originally covered with wild grass, suddenly transformed into a tropical rainforest-like landscape.

"The valuable items have been acquired, and most of the basic materials have been gathered. Now, let's move on."

"When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when prosperous, one should benefit all under heaven." This is a saying I, Su Mo, have uttered, and now it is finally time to fulfill it!

Taking a deep breath to expel the stale air from his lungs, and looking at the now empty trading panel, Su Mo made the most reckless move since his transmigration to the wasteland:

Water delivery!

There are no conditions, you don't need to bring any items, as long as you are Chinese, you can get a daily limited supply of three liters of water for free!

As long as you are human, regardless of your race, you can receive the same daily water allowance of 500 milliliters.

According to the rules of the Game Panel, Su Mo set these supplies to last for fifteen days!

Within fifteen days, you can claim it after midnight every day! Whoosh! The moment the item was listed for sale, it seemed to start vibrating, and in Su Mo's ears, he could almost hear a faint, frenzied cheer!
