My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 217 - Crush The Market, Worldwide Harvest

Chapter 217: Crush The Market, Worldwide Harvest

In the evening, despite the interference of the “special effects” of the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card, Brother Feng Zi’s large-scale vegetable culture medium appeared punctually on the trading market.

Unfortunately, without Su Mo’s involvement at this time, the quotes he received from other people were roughly the same as those he received in the main world, and there were no magical items that could treat or alleviate his injuries.

After thinking about it, Su Mo took out the little psychic energy water that he had left in the storage s.p.a.ce and listed a liter of it for sale. He half sold and half gifted it to save Brother Feng Zi.

“Since I haven’t traded with anyone here before this, I don’t know if Feng Mengyue’s rare gla.s.s panel has been sold…”

After browsing the trading market for a while, Su Mo immediately found out the current market situation and the price trend of various items.

Not enough time had pa.s.sed since everyone had been transported over to the Doomsday Wasteland. Even if there was a tutorial, most people could not obtain enough water to drink. They could exert themselves in their struggle to live on despite being on the verge of dying of thirst.

Of all the items and materials on the trading market, the number one item desired by all players was water!

Whether it was fresh water or muddy water, as long as it could be drunk, as long as they could survive past their current desperate situation, these people would accept it all.

Of course, many people had not been able to find rare items. They could only use whatever little resources they had, hoping that someone would look at the tatters they listed for trade, to obtain the life-saving sip of water.

“Iron blocks, wood blocks…most of them are ordinary objects!”

After a round of browsing, most of the “rare” items in the consciousness of ordinary people were mostly at the good-quality level, and there were only a handful of excellent-quality items. Focusing his thoughts, Su Mo began to start something that would only have happened in a fantasy realm.

A round of trading!

Ma.s.sive trading!

As far as items with attributes were concerned, no matter how many items were listed, even if the price was two liters of water or three liters of water, as long as they exceeded normal-quality, they would all be bought up mercilessly by Su Mo.

All of a sudden, the freshwater spring began to be absorbed and transferred by the game panel.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…

Su Mo could not see the depths of the well in front of him but, seeing the dozens of tons of water that appeared in the trading system in the game panel instantaneously, Su Mo smiled.

As the only dealer who had a source of water in the wasteland, this deep well of spring water was an unimaginably terrifying treasure!

No one could refuse the temptation of fresh water, and no one could calm down when faced with such a large-scale acquisition of items.

This was the truth.

No matter where everyone was, lying in their shelter at night while they looked at the trading market and chat channels, without exception, this turn of events suddenly became a sensation!

The World Channel and regional channels turned into a mess instantly!

“Someone is sweeping all the goods. D*mn it, this is too ridiculous, right? I saw several items that cost four or five liters of water bought within seconds!”

“Just now I looked through and found that there were 2239 items of good-quality level and above. Now, there are just 340 items left. F*ck! There are only around 300 items remaining!”

“It’s over, it’s all been bought out. All items above the good-quality level have been bought out. No matter how many liters you listed the item for, it will be bought in an instant!”

“Who is that? Is there a bug in the trading system? Have these items have been confiscated?”

“Su Mo, there is a player named Su Mo, who is frantically sweeping goods. He’s crazy, completely crazy!”

“I don’t know and I don’t dare ask, but I beginning to believe in love again!”

Mountains of items piled together began to appear in the open s.p.a.ce near the spring. In the blink of an eye, the originally gray and black land was slowly covered with various items that seemed to flow down from the hill.

Under the s.h.i.+ning starry night sky in the wasteland, these items each shone with their own unique color. It shone so brightly that the night sky above was also stained with a hint of color…

“It’s only this much. Perhaps I overestimated the progress of humankind in the wasteland. However, I can’t be too late, otherwise it will become difficult to complete the task in the end!”

Su Mo bought nearly 3000 items of good-quality level and above. Su Mo smacked his lips and felt no satisfaction in his heart.

If such a harvest were in the main world, he would have been so happy that he could float. Unfortunately, in the ruins of time, these items would not contribute to his combat capabilities in the main world, at least not in the short term.

“Next up, I’ll buy food, iron blocks, copper blocks, and various rare metal resources!”

Seeing the sensation in the chat interface, Su Mo waved his hand and directly set the game panel to trade an iron block for 200ml water, and a copper block for 300ml water. Rare metal ore resources would be traded at different rates according to the type, starting from 500ml and up to 5L. Thus another round of frantic acquisition commenced.

As for food, the prices were even more terrifying. For vegetables and fruits, they could be exchanged at a rate of three times their weight. For meat products, they could be exchanged for five times, eight times, or even ten times as much!

A 200g slab of beef could be exchanged for 1L of drinking water. At such prices, even players who intended to hold onto their supply of meat immediately opened the trading panel for fear of missing out!

A light flashed, and the game panel began to absorb and transfer spring water from the well again.

In the trading items column of the game panel, the amount of fresh water supply began to rise wildly ton by ton and, in the blink of an eye, it had risen to 5000 tons!

However, this scary figure was actually not that much if one were to consider the current human population in the wasteland.

At the price of 2000 units of iron per ton, 10 million units of iron could be purchased with just 5000 tons of water.

Whoosh, whoos.h.!.+

As soon as the transactions were listed on the channel, an unimaginable rush began and notifications of successful transactions continuously rang in Su Mo’s ears.

At this moment, no one cared about Su Mo’s sudden appearance, or where he got so much water.

Almost every person out there, as long as there were mines around them, without exception, rushed out into the darkness of the night.

The towering and solid mines were like s.h.i.+ning golden treasure chests at this time.

If they put in the effort, perhaps they could earn half a day’s worth or even one week’s worth of water!

Everyone was afraid that the water deal would suddenly end, and that Su Mo would stop acquiring more resources and items.

Therefore, driven by the price and a sense of crisis, their speed and productivity rate were amazing.

Work hard and work madly; the pickaxes in everyone’s hands had already turned into rapid shadows, and the continuous sound of mining could be heard all over the wasteland.

Such prices and such quant.i.ties, how could it not make people go crazy!

“Will our water transaction end soon?”

As the harvest continued to roll in from the trade transactions, unknowingly, Zhong Qingshu had also appeared by his side.

Seeing Su Mo’s ever-growing pile of “treasures”, Zhong Qingshu’s eyes were shocked. However, after seeing the act of G.o.d in the afternoon, she had already acquired some level of “immunity” to the surprising things that Su Mo did.

“Don’t worry, everyone in the world currently depends on us for their water supply, and we have enough for them to drink for hundreds of years!”

Hearing Su Mo’s response, Zhong Qingshu’s face was filled with surprise.

“Really?”

“Really! Also, hurry up and help me move these items into our warehouse. You don’t need to worry about the iron blocks.”

After receiving the order, Zhong Qingshu quickly left with a happy smile on her face. Looking at her, Su Mo began to buy iron blocks, completing the plan he had made before.

Acquiring 10 million units of iron blocks may sound exaggerated but, after spending hundreds of survival points to merge them into the three surrounding mountains, Su Mo was surprised to find that not even two of them had been fully filled up.

“No, I have to urge these people to quickly collect more. At the very least I have to transform all these four mountains into iron mountains!”

The cost of replacing objects in the system was very cheap, which was why Su Mo dared to exchange materials in this way.

After adjusting the price of the iron blocks to 500ml and the copper blocks to 1L, the acquisition speed finally picked up speed.

Who would dare to imagine that a single action from Su Mo would result in hundreds of millions of humans around the world picking up their tools and working hard in the mines like “mad dogs” at this unG.o.dly hour?

Who would dare to imagine the effect of this one person, and how his water supply supported hundreds of millions of people.

The acquisition process took less than an hour, and all the people who went mining were surprised to find out that they had secured enough water to last them till the next month.

Some big families of four or five people, or even six or seven people, had saved up enough water to last them three to five months.

Shock appeared on everyone’s faces. Only then did they discover that the originally dark mines had been illuminated by hundreds of thousands of human torches.

The mountains were glowing, and the plains were no exception!

Seeing that the iron and copper blocks had filled the four mountains, Su Mo clapped his hands with satisfaction, and then replaced the listings with new materials.

Trees!

A large demand for trees.

Not units of wood, but rather trees with roots, even if the roots were small!

In addition, Su Mo would purchase those trees for an unprecedented one hundred liters of water each!

One hundred liters of water for a tree sounded crazy, but what occurred after was even crazier.

In less than ten minutes, more than 3000 small trees were uprooted and traded; appearing on the ground beside Su Mo. Then, with the system’s a.s.sistance, all the small trees were transplanted into Hope Plains.

Hope Plains, which was originally covered by only weeds, suddenly turned into a tropical rainforest.

“The valuable items have been purchased, and almost all the basic materials have been, so next…”

“One should preserve their dignity if they’re n.o.body and promote social welfare if they are somebody. I, Su Mo, said this sentence before, and it’s finally going to be fulfilled now!”

Su Mo took a deep breath and expelled the stale air from his lungs. Looking at the trading panel that was empty at this time, Su Mo made the craziest move since crossing into the wasteland:

Gifting water!

There were no conditions. There was no need to take out any items. As long as you were Huaxian, you could receive a limited daily supply of three liters of water for free!

As long as you were human, no matter which race you were, you could also receive a limited daily supply of 500 ml of water.

According to the rules of the game panel, Su Mo set up these trading parameters and the offer would last for fifteen days!

Within this period, after midnight every day, the supply of water could be obtained!

Whoos.h.!.+

The moment the transaction was listed on the trading channel, the air seemed to vibrate. In Su Mo’s ears, it was as if crazy cheers were resounding all around!
