Lei Wei confronted Han Xing in the Chat Channel.
At that moment, someone named Wu Tianlei spoke up. "And everyone from our Lei Conglomerate has had their trades with you rejected. What are you trying to do? Don't you want to do business anymore?"
Facing their accusations, Han Xing chuckled. "I'm not trying to do anything. I just don't want to trade with anyone from the Lei Conglomerate."
The other survivors keenly sensed the unusual implication in Han Xing's words.
This big shot seemed to be at odds with the Lei Conglomerate.
Then they remembered that yesterday, the person the Lei Conglomerate had been clamoring to blacklist in the Chat Channel seemed to be Xinghe!
They were done for... Those idiots had offended a big shot, and now he was outright refusing to trade with them.
Many people silently mourned for the Lei Conglomerate members for a few seconds.
At this point, Lei Wei also realized that Han Xing was holding yesterday's grudge against him. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said in a low voice, "Kid, there's no need to be so petty, is there?"
"Sure, we had a conflict before, but that was only between you and me. There's no need to drag everyone else in the Lei Conglomerate into it, right?"
However, Han Xing replied with a smile, "Is that so? I remember that yesterday, a whole group from your Lei Conglomerate jumped out and shouted about blacklisting me and refusing to trade supplies with me."
"Well then, congratulations. You succeeded."
Lei Wei froze for a moment, then said darkly, "Xinghe, don't take things too far. If you refuse to sell us water, the lives of dozens of people from the Lei Conglomerate will be on your hands!"
The atmosphere in the Chat Channel became extremely strange. Lei Wei had directly brought up dozens of lives, trying to force Han Xing to sell water.
Yet Han Xing merely sneered. "Lei Wei, I told you not to try that nonsense on me. Do you think emotional blackmail will work on me?"
"You're their leader, so you have to take responsibility for your people. Since it was your decision, you have to bear all the consequences it caused. If you can't handle them, that only proves your incompetence."
After saying that, Han Xing could not be bothered to waste any more words on Lei Wei and directly exited the Chat Channel.
Lei Wei was left behind, his face livid as he stared at the Chat Channel, trembling with rage.
Meanwhile, every member of the Lei Conglomerate looked pale as paper.
At this moment, Han Xing was in his Sky Island Territory.
He squeezed his way out from a pile of materials.
Lei Wei's rhetoric had not affected him in the slightest. Lei Wei had deliberately made the situation sound very serious.
But Han Xing knew that although water resources in Channel 107 were scarce, some people definitely still had reserves.
The Lei Conglomerate could completely trade with those people. They would just have to pay a higher price, depending on whether Lei Wei was willing to do so.
Shaking his head, Han Xing stopped thinking about those people.
Instead, he looked at his territory, which had nearly doubled in size again, and grinned broadly.
Before this, his territory had been 32 cubic meters. After merging with the Dark Elf's sky island, it had directly expanded to 64 cubic meters.
An eight-meter-by-eight-meter platform floated high in the air.
Although the space was quite large, the massive amount of materials still made the platform crowded and chaotic.
Han Xing finally managed to escape the encirclement of materials and found two empty spots near the edge.
Then, he checked the crafting requirements for the Storage Box in the blueprint section.
Storage Box Blueprint (Green) Materials required: Spirit Core x50, refined iron x100, mithril x10, Rare Earth x100. Success rate: 10% (Affected by the God-Tier Craftsman talent, success rate has reached 100%)
"Hm? It actually requires mithril."
Han Xing lowered his head and pondered. "There are very few sources of mithril. Aside from the small chance of getting some from Bronze Treasure Chests, you can only try your luck finding a few mithril ore deposits."
"I wonder if Channel 107 has any now."
Han Xing was somewhat uncertain, but when he returned to the Chat Channel and expressed his desire to purchase mithril, many people still responded.
In the end, he successfully traded 2,000 milliliters of Spirit Spring Water for 21 pieces of mithril.
Sure enough, strength lay in numbers. No matter how low the odds were, there would always be a few lucky players who managed to obtain these materials.
With the materials for the Storage Box gathered, Han Xing immediately clicked craft.
A dazzling green light flashed, and a corner of the small mountain of materials on the ground vanished.
A 180-second progress bar appeared before him.
Since he was crafting a tool, it required more time.
After waiting six minutes, a System Prompt arrived.
Successfully crafted Storage Box (Green) x2 Storage Box (Green), Quality—Excellent, Storage Space 350, Effect—Expansion (Storage Space increased by an additional 50) Storage Box (Green), Quality—Rare, Storage Space 400, Effect—Intermediate Expansion (Storage Space increased by an additional 100)
One of the two Storage Boxes was Excellent, while the other was Rare. Including their effect bonuses, they added a total of 750 storage slots!
The God-Tier Craftsman talent had demonstrated its powerful effect once again!
"Great, now I have more than enough space!"
The moment he finished speaking—
Clang!
With a hollow sound, two refined-iron Storage Boxes, each roughly two meters long and one meter wide, appeared before Han Xing.
Since the boxes were entirely forged from refined iron, they were black, decorated with streaks of white mithril patterns.
Han Xing stuffed all the small mountain-like piles of materials from the ground into the Storage Boxes.
A moment later, the territory became spacious again.
Han Xing clapped his hands and opened the consignment channel once more, beginning to sell Spirit Spring Water.
Channel 107 was thrown into turmoil again.
Many people rushed to trade supplies with Han Xing. In just a few seconds, over a hundred trade requests appeared.
Compared to the first time, the trading frenzy was even more intense!
Han Xing clicked through trades until his hands nearly went numb, keeping himself busier than ever.
Trade successful. You obtained Complete Furniture Blueprint Collection. You lost 500 ml of Spirit Spring Water. Trade successful. You obtained Hide Boots Blueprint (Green). You lost 300 ml of Spirit Spring Water. Trade successful. You obtained Warrior's Amulet Blueprint (Green). You lost 500 ml of Spirit Spring Water.
Since Han Xing had changed the trade requirements this time, he stopped accepting all kinds of equipment and began collecting various blueprints instead, directly passing over duplicates.
This trading frenzy continued for nearly two hours, and Han Xing felt that his hands were about to cramp from clicking.
When the final trade was completed, Han Xing collapsed directly onto the ground as if he had fought a major battle.
Yet despite his exhaustion, Han Xing's face was filled with excitement.
After all, who would not be thrilled to see more than a dozen Skill Books and dozens of equipment and weapon blueprints quietly lying in their inventory?
Not only that, four Storage Boxes at the edge of the territory occupied eight square meters.
Since the materials had filled up the previous boxes, Han Xing had temporarily crafted two more.
Now, the four Storage Boxes, with nearly three thousand slots of space, were crammed full of all kinds of materials!
