Meanwhile, seeing the sudden delisting of Beast Meat from trade in the chat channel, the survivors fell into a panic.

Guo Yichen: "What the heck, why was the Bear Meat suddenly delisted! I haven't bought any yet?"

Luosha: "I didn't get any either. I just got the news that someone was selling Bear Meat with Attribute Buffs in the market."

Shu Ye: "Ahhhh! The Bear Meat that Boss Cao Xing has, has it already sold out?"

"Quickly @ Boss Cao Xing!"

In the regional channel, that group of people was frantically @ing Cao Xing.

Yue Zejun: "@Cao Xing, husband! Say something!"

Lu Yueyue: "@Cao Xing, Boss, don't be so cold, quickly come out and comfort this little sister's young and fragile heart."

Huang Ling: "@Cao Xing, little brother, do you need a leg accessory?"

At this time, Cao Xing was giving those Polar Humans tasks, upgrading the Camp Bonfire and upgrading the Lord's Hut, and was not paying attention to the channel chat.

Seeing that Cao Xing did not reply, those survivors immediately became anxious.

"Bad news, brothers, Boss Cao Xing didn't respond to us, could it really be sold out?"

"It's over, I said before I'd wait for him to lower the price a bit before buying, and now, it's all sold out."

"I had the same plan, this is a huge loss..."

At this moment, a survivor named Yu Jun said: "You bunch of idiots, still want to wait for others to lower the price, don't you even look at what kind of meat this is!"

"Items that can add attributes are always hard currency, no matter when."

"And the price Boss Cao Xing set is already very fair!"

Liu Hui: "Yeah, Boss Cao Xing's price is really fair. Before, I bought 100g of Beast Meat from Fang Long, and it almost emptied all my assets."

Huang Shihong: "That's right, Fang Long's price is truly killing us. Buying it once is equivalent to going bankrupt."

Just then, a cold voice appeared in the regional channel.

Fang Long: "Did someone just say that the meat I sell is expensive?"

"Do you know how difficult it is for my brothers to spare some food for trade?"

"I took out precious food for trade so you guys wouldn't go hungry, and you're still saying I'm selling it too expensive?"

The chat channel immediately fell silent.

Most of the people here were from Hong Kong, and they all knew the notoriety of the Three Heroes Guild.

This was a famous gangster organization.

Besides Fang Long, there were two other gang bosses, each a ruthless individual.

That's why they named themselves the Three Heroes Guild.

At its peak, this guild once had thousands of members, and its prestige spread throughout Hong Kong.

No matter how awesome you are, a point can have at most 4 people, what are you afraid of?

Seeing that no one was speaking, Fang Long continued to sneer: "Behave yourselves, don't you even look at who's the boss in this area!"

"From now on, anyone who wants to trade in this area will need our permission, otherwise, you'll see!"

At this time, a survivor named Chen Minhao said: "Fang Long, aren't you being too overbearing?"

"You sell your own things so expensively, and you don't even allow others to sell?"

Fang Long: "You're right, we are just that overbearing."

"What do you think our Three Heroes Guild does?"

Hearing this, the survivors' expressions changed.

Yes, a gang like the Three Heroes Guild was not good to begin with, and collecting protection fees was one of their means of accumulating wealth.

It was clear that Cao Xing's large-scale sale of Bear Meat had infringed upon their interests.

Fang Long sneered: "Let me tell you, we have hundreds of brothers in this area, and sooner or later we will encounter each other."

"You better think carefully about the consequences of offending us."

At this moment, members of the Three Heroes Guild jumped out one after another and said.

"Support Boss Fang Long!"

"All of you behave yourselves!"

"From now on, the District 174 channel will be controlled by our Three Heroes Guild!"

Seeing so many people jump out, the survivors suddenly realized this.

They were currently in the same area as the Three Heroes Guild.

As they gradually expanded outwards later, they would all eventually meet.

And the Three Heroes Guild, which naturally had hundreds of members, was the largest force in this area.

If they offended them, their own Territory would be in danger later!

For a moment, everyone was hesitant to speak.

Just then, Cao Xing opened the regional channel.

He saw the chat above and was completely bewildered.

What did this mean?

I just arranged some work and now they won't let me trade?

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and directly said, "Everyone, I had something to attend to and left for a bit. Trading will continue now."

Before the other survivors could respond.

Fang Long saw Cao Xing appear and immediately said, "Didn't you hear me? I told you to stop trading."

Cao Xing calmly replied, "Why? Just because you told me not to trade, I shouldn't?"

Fang Long: "Kid, stop playing dumb. You're from Hong Kong, you should have heard of our Three Heroes Guild."

"District 174 is our territory now."

Cao Xing paused upon hearing this, then laughed, "What Three Heroes Guild, Three Bird Guild? This isn't Earth anymore, so why are you still acting tough?"

"Brothers, don't be afraid of these idiots. Continue trading as usual. I have a limited amount of Bear Meat, first come, first served."

"Oh, and the idiots from the Three Bird Guild, don't trade with me. We're in the New World now, stop being dogs. Go ask your masters for meat!"

Cao Xing's words were like poking a hornet's nest.

It caused the members of the Three Heroes Guild to curse madly.

Zhang Wei: "Cao Xing, I &%!"

Xu Haocheng: "I...&%...&"

Cao Xing happily waited for them to finish cursing and then laughed, "Anything else?"

"Is that all the Three Heroes Guild has?"

Provoked by Cao Xing, the chat was flooded with more curses, almost completely occupying the District 174 channel.

They furiously attacked Cao Xing with their words.

At this moment, a system prompt appeared before them.

[System Prompt: Due to your repeated use of uncivilized language, your chat privileges have been revoked. Remaining time: 3 days...]

The cursing survivors were stunned.

They didn't expect there to be a mute function in the New World.

For a moment, the survivors from the Three Heroes Guild were massively muted, and the entire chat channel gradually quieted down.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing continued to provoke them.

Causing more Three Heroes Guild survivors to be muted.

Seeing the situation escalating, Fang Long came out and said, "Everyone, stop talking. Don't fall for this kid's tricks!"

Although Fang Long tried to intervene, over two hundred people had already been muted for three days by the system in that wave.

This was a significant blow to the Three Heroes Guild's prestige.

Fang Long said with a chilling tone, "Kid, your name is Cao Xing, right? I've remembered you. I hope you won't regret this in the future."

Cao Xing, however, completely ignored his threat and laughed, "You've remembered me?"

"Great, I've remembered you too. I've written down the names and ID numbers of all the guys who cursed me just now.

"From now on, you won't be able to trade anything with me."

Cao Xing completely disregarded Fang Long's threat and began listing items again.

As the survivors watched Fang Long fall silent, they began to scramble again!

"Brothers, hurry and grab it! Boss Cao Xing said this batch of Bear Meat is limited, it'll be gone if you're late!"

"Damn! I have to get some this time!"

"Charge!"

The chat channel was filled with enthusiasm.

The news from the Three Heroes Guild was quickly drowned out by the massive number of survivors.

On Cao Xing's side, the notification sounds of trading requests flooded in again.
