Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

Since King Jiang has already made the first move, I'll just state directly what items are needed to trade for the giant octopus meat.

[Equipment slots, duel tickets, companion tickets, pest control tickets, location cards, and golden seaweed fiber can all be traded for one ton of Giant Mouth Octopus meat.]

Chen Xin rattled off all the items Zhou Wen had asked her to trade in one go.

In fact, Zhou Wen originally did not want the golden seaweed fiber to be exposed to the public eye. After all, even if someone obtained the golden seaweed fiber, they would not know what use it was.

The fact that Chen Xin, as the president of a large guild, suddenly started acquiring them at high prices directly proves the value of golden seaweed fiber.

This will also prompt other guild leaders to start purchasing as well, creating competition and causing the price of golden seaweed fiber to rise sharply.

On the other hand, if the survivors didn't know the value of golden seaweed fiber, why would they sell it? In that case, it would be even more difficult to obtain golden seaweed fiber.

Today is a good time to take advantage of the situation. Tomorrow is the underwater maze trial. If we don't improve our strength as much as possible today, we won't have another chance tomorrow. If we die in the trial, even if we have items that will be of great value in the future, they will be meaningless.

【Ms. Chen, isn't the price you set a bit unreasonable? Equipment slots and duel tickets are extremely important and scarce items.】

[The giant octopus meat, while it can increase both Strength and Constitution by two points simultaneously, only increases them once; having more of it is useless.]

"Yes, this price is too high. And there are also coupons for other sellers, pest control coupons, and golden seaweed fiber—I've never even heard of them. How can we trade like that?"

As soon as Zhao Teng finished speaking, all the guilds that followed him started sending messages, hoping that Chen Xin would lower the price.

[High price? Where is the price high? Don't just spout nonsense. Chairman Chen has had a tough time too. So many days have passed, has he been working hard to develop the business? Has he been diligently opening the boxes?]

Before Chen Xin could reply, Jiang Haitao jumped out again and started cursing at Zhao Teng and his group.

[Hey Jiang, I'm talking to the beautiful Chen about the price, what are you doing interrupting?]

Zhao Teng and Jiang Haitao didn't get along, so he didn't tolerate it and retorted directly.

Why can't I speak up? I think Chairman Chen's price is very reasonable; I'm just stating a fair opinion.

【Hey, you two, stop arguing. How about this: Equipment slots, Duel Tickets, Companion Tickets, Pest Control Tickets, Location Cards, and two tons of Giant Mouth Octopus Meat can be traded.】

Although the Giant Octopus Meat only increases stats once, you are all guild leaders with a large number of members under you. As guild leaders, shouldn't you consider the well-being of your guild members?

Chen Xin's final rhetorical question was extremely damaging, capable of shaking the morale of almost all guilds and silencing the guild leaders.

If any guild leader dares to say at this moment that they don't care about the guild members, their guild will definitely disband on the spot.

After all, the trial is tomorrow. If the guild leader doesn't care about the members, then why should they acknowledge him as their leader? They don't even know if they'll survive tomorrow, so why would they care about the guild's benefits?

Normally, guild members would just complain a bit, but not today, because it concerns their own lives. The trial starts tomorrow, and it's always good to increase their strength.

In the end, the various guilds negotiated the price, and they were willing to trade once the price of the giant octopus meat reached three tons.

Chen Xin didn't limit the amount of meat from the giant octopus to two tons. After some negotiation with the leaders of various guilds, she agreed to increase it to three tons.

The trading continued intermittently until evening, and the 30-meter-long, 150-ton giant octopus was completely sold, mostly by guilds and some by individual survivors.

To ensure the safety of individual survivors, Chen Xin also posted a final message.

I have a record of everyone who traded giant octopus meat with me. Anyone who dares to challenge them to a duel will be killed.

Chen Xin's statement was incredibly intimidating. The information about the 30-meter-long giant octopus was still prominently displayed in the chat channel. Even if some people didn't quite believe that Chen Xin could kill this giant octopus, they wouldn't dare to gamble on it.

This message not only protected individual survivors but also improved the Survivors Guild's reputation among survivors. It also gave those who found good items but had nowhere to sell them an option.

Next, we'll examine the results of this transaction. The largest quantity is [Duel Tickets], with 20 in total. Most of these transactions were between guilds, with a smaller number going to individuals. However, guilds usually hold more than one [Duel Ticket].

Because the guild needs [Duel Tickets] to intimidate guild members, they usually buy them at high prices in the trading channel.

Then there are 10 [equipment slots]. These are all from personal transactions, and they are all from survivors who are not doing well. They can take this opportunity to get three tons of Big Mouth Octopus Meat and develop themselves quickly.

Finally, there are 3 location cards, 1 travel companion coupon, 2 pest control coupons, and 42 packs of golden seaweed fiber.

"Quite a haul!" Zhou Wen grinned from ear to ear as all the items the giant octopus had traded for were now in his hands.

Give Chen Xin and Jiang Haitao two equipment slots each, so that each of them will have three equipment slots.

Zhou Wen used the remaining six equipment slots without hesitation. With his own four equipment slots, he had a total of ten equipment slots. Ten equipment slots is the limit of the character attribute panel, which means that each person can only place a maximum of ten equipment slots.

Subsequently, Zhou Wen sent one of the two large, finned yellowtail swords to Chen Xin and one to Jiang Haitao. He then gave the blueprint for the large iron shield to Jiang Haitao and the blueprint for the round iron shield to Chen Xin.

With his current strength, plus five free attribute points, Zhou Wen's strength reaches 42.5. When attacked, he can simply pierce through the fin-like yellow ribbonfish scale armor and no longer needs a shield.

Zhou Wen glanced at the three location cards and travel vouchers and then put them into the locker.

He carefully examined the two pest control coupons; one had a 3-day deadline, and the other had a 5-day deadline.

"Why are there still five days left?" Because the [Pest Control Coupons] have a time limit after leaving the birth sea area, Zhou Wen only let Chen Xin collect two.

I thought both tickets would expire in three days, but it turns out they have an extra five days.

This five-day pest control coupon is officially called the "Food Cloud Sky Leviathan Pest Control Coupon".
