Heavy Rain From the Sky

The chat channel was filled with pessimistic voices.

But Han Xing, the protagonist of the hot topic, was leisurely nocking an arrow.

Before him, several giant pangolin-like monsters lay dead at his feet.

After half a day, Han Xing had arrived at the so-called advanced area.

Here, the survivors felt like they had left the newbie protection zone.

The clouds here were larger, and you could easily encounter clouds of dozens of square meters, with the strength of the monsters inside rising sharply.

Han Xing didn't take risks, nor did he explore those large clouds in order to compete for the leaderboard.

The encounter in the Dark Elf territory was still vivid in his mind.

He chose to be cautious, specifically maneuvering Skywater to approach those clouds that were only a dozen square meters in size.

Compared to the top three on the leaderboard, whose area increased by dozens of square meters at a time, Han Xing's speed could only be described as snail-like.

But he wasn't worried.

Today was the second day of the points leaderboard, and the Whisperer, who was currently ranked first, only had a little over 260 points.

At this rate, the area would only increase by a maximum of one to two hundred square meters per day, and it would take at least three or four days to reach 1000 points.

Just as everyone was engrossed in exploring.

At sunset in the afternoon, the sky suddenly became overcast, and thunder rumbled.

At this moment, all the survivors couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked up.

An idea appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.

It's going to rain.

When they realized this idea, all the survivors were stunned for a moment, and then their faces couldn't help but show ecstasy.

Because, if this rain really fell, it would mean that the water source problem that had plagued them for many days would be completely solved!

And this also sent a signal.

Han Xing's Spirit Spring Water was about to become unsellable...

Although the healing function was still unique, it could no longer be priced at will like before.

Rumble~

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning flashed!

The next moment, drops of clear rain fell on everyone's heads.

Then, the rain became more and more dense.

Whirr~

As a torrential rain fell, countless survivors began to celebrate wildly in mid-air.

Some survivors even looked up directly, welcoming the rainwater in the air with their mouths.

The air quality and environment of this world were excellent, and even the rainwater had a sweet taste.

The survivors burst into hearty laughter.

After days of water source problems, this was truly a timely rain after a long drought.

Smart people were taking out all the tools they could to store rainwater at this time, hoarding drinking water for themselves.

Those who didn't have tools even dug a pit on the spot to serve as a container.

The chat channel was buzzing with excitement, and many survivors were excitedly discussing.

"Wuwuwu... It's finally raining, these past few days have been a nightmare!"

"Thank God, we finally made it through!"

"Finally, I can take a shower, the smell on my body is disgusting even to myself!"

"Let me smell..."

"???"

The survivors were shouting excitedly.

The carnival in the chat channel lasted for nearly half an hour, when someone suddenly said.

"Great, we finally don't have to buy Xinghe's Spirit Spring Water at a high price anymore, he charges way too much..."

"..."

The local network suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Because this was the first time someone had publicly said in the chat channel that Han Xing's prices were too high.

Before this, everyone's evaluation of Han Xing had been positive, and they had even pushed him to the height of a savior in District 107.

Even when Han Xing's points ranking dropped, it didn't shake his position in the hearts of the survivors.

After all, he held the lifelines of thousands in his hands.

But now, with the water source problem solved, everyone suddenly realized that Han Xing's role didn't seem so important anymore.

At this point, a survivor named Hidden Fireworks chimed in, "Actually, I've been wanting to say this for a while now. Xinghe's prices are so high; a single transaction practically empties out all our gains from the previous two days..."

"He doesn't even think about how we're supposed to survive the upcoming battles without equipment. He only cares about selling water at high prices, completely disregarding whether we live or die afterwards..."

Just then, a survivor retorted angrily in the chat channel.

Cyclone Potato: "@Hidden Fireworks, you're talking nonsense. If Star God hadn't been selling water these past two days, would you even be alive right now? He saved your miserable life, and now that you're feeling tough, you're starting to bite the hand that feeds you."

Hidden Fireworks: "@Cyclone Potato, what did you say? Xinghe's water is expensive, that's a universally acknowledged fact. Why can't people say it?"

Cyclone Potato: "@Hidden Fireworks, fact your mom! It's just you, you ingrate, saying that. Don't drag us into it."

Hidden Fireworks: "You #@$*..."

The two started hurling insults at each other.

Then, another survivor said, "The brother above is right, Xinghe's water is indeed too expensive. I only got less than 500 milliliters of water for a Warrior's Skill Book. Isn't that a ripoff?"

Cyclone Potato raged, "You're all talking nonsense! Why didn't anyone complain about the price back then? Now you're all jumping out and barking like dogs here?"

Hidden Fireworks also retorted, "Cyclone Potato, is Xinghe your dad? Why are you protecting him so much?"

"You're right, he is my dad! I'm telling you, my dad holds grudges. Be careful he doesn't write down all your names and refuse to trade with you ever again!"

Cyclone Potato's threat seemed to have an effect. Recalling the Lei Conglomerate incident, those survivors who had criticized Han Xing suddenly shut their mouths.

At this point, some onlookers stepped forward to say a few fair words.

"It's not really a ripoff, is it? In that kind of situation, it's already pretty good that they could even provide water."

"Yeah, if you think it's expensive, just don't buy it in the future."

"Anyway, we're not short on water from today onwards, there's no need to criticize others anymore."

There were still many rational and sensible people in the local network, and they were all speaking up for Han Xing.

The others who felt the price was too high also kept quiet.

A dispute gradually faded away unnoticed.

However, as today passed, Han Xing's monopoly would be overthrown, and his popularity would decline accordingly.

Even when he fell out of the top three, it no longer sparked any discussion.

Now, everyone's attention was focused on the Whisperer, Black Hawk, and others.

Han Xing naturally saw the discussions about him in the local network.

His heart didn't waver at all, and he laughed, "This Cyclone Potato, since when did I get such a big son?"

"He's talking like it's real, and I haven't even had a girlfriend!"

At this time, Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun were busy exploring Sky Island and didn't see the argument in the chat channel.

Otherwise, with their personalities, they would definitely have argued with those guys until dawn.

But then, Clever Little Sheep suddenly sent him a message.

Han Xing clicked on it and saw the content: "Add oil, I support you."

She also included a very cute encouraging emoji at the end.

A knowing smile appeared on Han Xing's lips, and he guessed that this little girl must have seen some of the negative comments about him on the local network, so she was cheering him on.

Shaking his head, Han Xing didn't take those people's discussions to heart.

A smile appeared on his lips.

"Those guys probably don't think that they won't be buying anything from me other than Spirit Spring Water in the future, do they?"

Suddenly, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and he said with a shocked expression, "Crap, I forgot to take in the blankets when it started raining. The bed and furniture are all soaked!"

At this stage, Han Xing didn't have any building blueprints, and most of his furniture was outdoors, placed directly in his territory.

A heavy rain directly soaked it all.

After the heavy rain, the clouds cleared and the wind subsided.

The next day, Han Xing continued to maintain his rhythm, gradually clearing the small clouds in this area.

His ranking also dropped from fourth to sixth.

The Whisperer was still in first place.

After two consecutive days of sleepless work, the Whisperer's territory points reached 348, exceeding Black Hawk in second place and Papaya Star Spirit in third place by more than fifty points.

However, Han Xing's ranking changes no longer sparked any discussion among the crowd.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. They now felt that it would be pretty good if Han Xing could even stay in the top ten.

In the evening.

As he wished, Han Xing's ranking fell outside the top ten.

Early on the third day.

Han Xing's territory points were at 260, placing him at 13th.

Meanwhile, the Whisperer's territory points had broken through 400 after a night of hardcore grinding.

Black Hawk in second and Papaya Star Spirit in third had also caught up, with the difference between the three of them now less than 50 points.

Everyone was burying themselves in exploration.

By the end of the third day, the Whisperer's points had skyrocketed past 600!

Black Hawk and Papaya Star Spirit's points had also exceeded 500.

Now, in the chat channel, the reputations of these three were rising rapidly, and their respective teams had begun a massive recruitment drive.
