Chapter 12

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There’s a small black dot in the sky, speeding towards Shen Fei’s direction. If it wasn’t for Monie’s reminder, it would be hard for ordinary people to detect it. Although the combat ability of the fairies was low, their detection ability was pretty good.

The people in the live stream did not notice, however. They saw that Shen Fei had opened the trade section, probably preparing to trade. However, for some reason, he suddenly stopped and raised his head to look at the sky.

Even the audience from Country Hua started to get anxious.

“This is not the time to look at the scenery. What’s going on? Hurry up and trade. Otherwise, all the good stuff will be taken by others.”

“Shen Fei has so many resources. He should make full use of their value and maximize the benefits. What is he waiting for?”

“This is making me so anxious that I want to rush into the game to trade for him.”

However, they were not the person in question. No matter how anxious they were, it was useless.

“Some people really don’t know how to utilize resources despite having them.”

“Could it be that he thought he’s safe as long he was the first to arrive at an oasis, so he became arrogant and complacent? Although the other contestants haven’t found an oasis yet, they still have quite a lot of good stuff.”

Just when negative comments were popping out, someone finally realized that something was off, “Wait, slow down. Look above Shen Fei.”

A large shadow suddenly flashed past. It was as fast as lightning and difficult to catch with the naked eye. The people in the broadcast room almost thought they were seeing things.

“What is that thing…”

A strong gust of wind surged. Sharp claws glinted coldly. They were almost the size of an adult’s fist and could easily crush rocks.

Everyone in the live stream felt their hearts in their throats. Those sharp claws felt almost like they were going to pierce through the screen.

If it wasn’t for Shen Fei’s quick reaction in rolling to the side, even his skin and flesh would be torn off if he was caught by it. He suddenly raised his head and met the cold eyes of the predator.

[Oasis Defender: Desert eagle, the king of the sky. Do not be discovered by it. Its sharp claws can tear apart any invader. Its speed is unimaginable.]

It was an incomparably huge eagle. It stopped on a tree branch nearby and stared coldly at Shen Fei. The sharpness of its gaze seemed capable of piercing a hole through a person’s body.

It shrieked as if it was preparing to attack again.

Shen Fei’s palm moved slightly. Instantly, sand on the ground trembled. However, a petite figure appeared in front of him. It’s Monica. She said confidently, “Master, allow me. I have a way.”

Seeing how confident she was, Shen Fei nodded and said, “Okay, then be careful not to get hurt.”

While Shen Fei was dealing with the desert eagle, someone in the trade section started contacting the Korean players. It was the descendant of Ramesses.

The Egyptian player said, “I’ll trade water with you for saxaul forest.”

The choice of the starting item was very important. The Korean players had also considered many factors before choosing the forest. They picked it because of its ability to withstand sandstorms. After all, sandstorms were extremely terrifying.

It could blow even buildings into the sky, not to mention humans. But with the saxaul forest, things would be completely different. Living was doubtlessly guaranteed.

However, she did not expect that she would face a shortage of water resources before she experienced sandstorms. Her life force was rapidly depleting. If she did not replenish her water, she would faint in the desert and die soon.

The Korean player said, “100 kg of water for a trade.”

When the Egyptian player saw the chat, his lips curled into a cold smile. Although 100 kg was not a small number, it was not like he did not have it. It was just that there were only a few hundred kilograms in total. If they were to trade almost a quarter of it, what would happen later?

Although he wanted saxaul forest, he was also reluctant to part with the water resources. Therefore, he did not reply immediately and only observed the trading section for notifications.

As expected, the Korean player was a little anxious, thinking that the Egyptian player did not have that much water. “90 kg is fine too.”

Unbeknownst to them, this result was exactly what the Egyptian player had expected. They immediately guessed that the Korean player was in an extremely dehydrated state. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made the offer so quickly.

“Maybe I can still lower the price a little further.”

The Egyptian player said, “50 kg.

The Korean player said, “50 kg! Are you kidding me? That’s too low. You’re giving no quarters by cutting down half the price.”

Besides the Korean player, even the people in the broadcast room were stunned.

“I didn’t expect the descendant of the Pharaoh to be so down-to-earth as well. He even bargains like us.”

“This is really like the dragon slaying technique. He is clearly taking advantage of the situation.”

“Previous commenter, there’s no need to describe it so negatively. One is willing to deliver a beating, while the other is willing to take it. Moreover, this is a fair trade and both parties are making it voluntarily. If the Korean player isn’t willing to make the trade, she can reject it.”

“I just came over from the Korean player’s live stream. The cute girl is about to cry. The person who’s slashing the price is really heartless.”

The Korean player said, “50 kg is really too little. 80 kg.”

The Egyptian player said, “The saxaul forest isn’t very useful now. The price you’re asking for is too high.”

The Korean player said, “My price is reasonable enough. It will be very useful in the future.”

She tried to raise the price, but the Egyptian player had already realized her extreme need for water, so he refused to budge.

The Egyptian player was patiently waiting to lower the price as much as possible before exchanging it with the least amount of water. He didn’t know that the people from his own country were going crazy in the live stream.

“Enough already! 80 kg is good enough. Hurry up and exchange it for saxaul forest!”

A large oasis had already appeared in Country Hua. If they could obtain the saxaul forest and reflect it into reality, they would be able to solve many problems in their own country.

“I’m so anxious. If someone else beats you to it, it’ll be useless to cry afterwards.”

Although the other players were also tempted by the saxaul forest, considering the lack of water resources, they were also hesitating. If they waited until the other players made a decision and stepped in, the outcome was still unknown.

“Why are you so greedy? You have so much water, why do you care about a few dozen kilograms?”

They really wanted to send a message in reminder, but there was no such function in the game. It was probably precisely to prevent outsiders from leaking information to cheat.

“We absolutely must seize this opportunity. We can’t fall behind Country Hua again!”

“Our area is always assailed by sandstorms. If only we can have such a big sandbreak forest in reality..”
