You have obtained Skill Book: Holy Light Healing (Cleric Exclusive)
Though it was not a Hunter class skill book, Han Xing remembered that Shen Yun seemed to have chosen the Cleric class.
Just then, someone suddenly sent him a private message through the Trading Channel, saying they wanted to trade for his green longbow.
"Oh? Has someone finally obtained a green equipment blueprint?"
Han Xing opened the private message and found that it had been sent by someone called "Clever Little Sheep."
A voice message appeared in the private chat window, and Han Xing tapped it to play.
"H-hello... I want to trade for your weapon. Are you free right now?"
She sounded like a young girl. Her voice was soft and sweet, yet natural rather than affected, as if that were simply her usual voice.
Han Xing replied, "I am. What are you planning to trade for it?"
Clever Little Sheep: "I... I saw that you need green equipment blueprints. I happen to have one here... W-would you like to take a look?"
She seemed somewhat afraid of Han Xing, or perhaps she simply did not know how to communicate normally with people.
"Send it over for me to see," Han Xing said directly.
"O-okay..."
Survivor "Clever Little Sheep" has sent you a trade request.
Han Xing: "..."
"Weren't you going to send me the blueprint so I could look at it? Why did you start a trade directly?"
Clever Little Sheep hurriedly said, "Huh? Don't I have to give you the item before you can see its attributes?"
Han Xing: "..."
"What are you talking about? If you give me the item, wouldn't that complete the trade right away? If I took your stuff and ran off, who would you trade with then?"
Clever Little Sheep: "???"
"N-no way... Would you take my things and run away?"
Han Xing was speechless. This woman seemed a little slow in the head.
He really wanted to say that he would.
But after thinking it over, he still said, "Forget it. Put the item in the trade window, and I'll look at its attributes."
"Ah? Oh... okay!" Clever Little Sheep replied haltingly.
Then, Han Xing saw a green blueprint appear in the trade window.
Hide Armor Blueprint (Green)
It really was a green equipment blueprint, and it was even for upper-body armor.
Han Xing immediately wanted to acquire it.
In the past, Han Xing would usually haggle with the other party for a while and make them offer greater concessions.
But considering that this woman seemed a little dim, he directly gave up on that idea.
Han Xing placed the fine-quality longbow into the trade window and completed the trade.
You have obtained Hide Armor Blueprint (Green). Learn it?
"Learn."
A fifth blueprint appeared in the blueprint tab, and a gratified smile appeared on Han Xing's lips.
At that moment, Clever Little Sheep sent Han Xing a message.
"Um... thank you..."
Han Xing replied, "No need to thank me. We both got what we needed. Just remember not to trade your things to people so casually next time."
Clever Little Sheep: "Mm-hmm! Thank you!"
After closing the private chat.
Han Xing's expression changed. He looked at the blueprint tab again and could not help growing excited.
Materials required to craft Hide Armor: One-Star Beast Hide ×3, Spirit Core ×20, Aether ×50, Warrior's Badge ×1.
Hide Armor required quite a few materials to craft. Three One-Star Beast Hides alone were needed, but the three snake hides he had just dismantled could substitute for them.
Then there were 20 Spirit Cores, 30 Aether, and one Warrior's Badge.
He had the first two materials, but he had never heard of the last one, the "Warrior's Badge."
So, he continued searching for related information in the Trading Channel.
Very quickly, he found a survivor named "Cola" who happened to be listing a Warrior's Badge for sale, asking for 500g of food.
The price was fairly reasonable, so Han Xing immediately opened a private chat.
"500g of Snake Meat for the Warrior's Badge."
Two seconds later, Cola immediately replied, "Bro, I don't want food anymore. Do you have water? Give me 400 milliliters—no, 300 milliliters will do!"
Han Xing looked at the drinking water in his backpack. After deducting what he had consumed, he had less than 600 milliliters remaining.
Come to think of it, after exploring for so long, he truly had not found much drinking water.
And that was with Han Xing constantly exploring and fighting. Other survivors would have gained even fewer water resources.
Han Xing estimated that everyone was currently in a severe water shortage.
After glancing through the Trading Channel, he indeed saw a large number of people changing their listings to ask for water.
The Chat Channel was likewise filled with wailing.
"So thirsty... so thirsty..."
"I'm thirsty too. There's way too little water in this world. At this rate, we'll all die of thirst!"
"Who has water? I can barely hold on..."
Han Xing suddenly remembered that when he had played this game on his phone, a lack of water had once driven his character to the brink of death, nearly causing him to fail the game.
Only after he had endured with great difficulty for several days did a heavy rain suddenly fall from the sky, resolving his water shortage afterward.
Han Xing did not know what the situation was like in the other regional channels, but in Channel 107, they would at least have to wait for a heavy rain before everyone would no longer be troubled by water shortages.
But how many people could hold on until then?
Thinking this, Han Xing directly said to the survivor named Cola, "Brother, I don't have much water either. At most, I can give you 200 milliliters."
Han Xing had to consider himself as well. If he traded away 200 milliliters, his remaining water would only barely sustain him for another day.
He had expected the other party to haggle with him, but unexpectedly, Cola became excited as soon as he heard it. "Sure! 200 milliliters it is. Trade right away!"
As if afraid Han Xing would change his mind, the other party immediately sent him a trade request.
Trade completed. You have obtained Warrior's Badge ×1. You have lost 200ml of drinking water.
Han Xing held a leather badge in his hand, deep in thought.
Meanwhile.
On a certain Sky Island Territory, Lei Wei watched the Discussion Group he had formed with an ugly expression.
Many people had voiced objections to the decision he had just made.
As a major shareholder of Lei Conglomerate, Lei Wei stepped forward and said, "Everyone, listen to me. Lei Conglomerate is one big family. Since you've joined us, you're family."
"I know everyone is short on water right now. I'm asking you all to hand it over to me not because I want to take your water, but because I want to distribute it fairly to those family members who have none and are about to die of thirst, relieving their urgent needs."
"In these difficult times, Lei Conglomerate must unite as one and get through this hardship together."
"You should trust my character, Lei Wei's character. This time, anyone who voluntarily contributes water will have a contribution recorded. I will never treat you unfairly in the future."
The Discussion Group fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.
At that moment, someone named Chen Anjiang said, "President Lei, when you previously asked us to turn in materials and equipment, everyone did so. We even handed over quite a bit of food because we trusted that you could lead us to develop and survive together."
"But water is our lifeline now. We don't even have enough for ourselves..."
