Even though they were cursing in their hearts, the players still paid for these sky-high kayaks.
In the end, Madman Li took out a pile of compasses and all kinds of things needed for navigation.
The most interesting thing was that while he was on the plane, he had drawn a simple map of the route to One Piece World from a high-altitude perspective. The other players had no choice but to buy it.
After all, time was money to them now.
The trading activity that was like a market lasted for three hours before it dispersed. The players rowed in kayaks, either in groups or randomly picked a direction according to Madman Li's map.
Only Qi Sheng, who was deep in thought, and Madman Li, who was counting money excitedly, were left on the red continent.
How could he not be excited? Not only would the gains from the transaction allow him to pay off all his debts, but it would also make him the richest among the players.
After a moment of silence, Qi Sheng suddenly asked,"
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
Madman Li paused for a moment, then put the Desolate Coins and IOU into the system space and nodded at Qi Sheng.
"Sure."
"First question, why did you prepare all these?”
Qi Sheng pointed at the parachute that was dangling on the surface of the sea and the kayak under his feet.
"You might not believe it, but after the malicious farming incident last time, my reading comprehension has improved a lot.”
"The missions of the Great Desolate Kingdom have always been the more difficult the mission, the higher the reward. According to the exaggerated mission reward this time, the Great Desolate Kingdom does not have any trade channels in the pirate world.”
"Otherwise, we won't be selling goods, but transporting goods.”
"Without a trade channel, it's basically equivalent to the Great Desolate Kingdom having just come into contact with the pirate world. That means that even if we tell them the locations in the anime, the Great Desolate Kingdom won't know where those places are. Therefore, players like us will only be randomly thrown into a corner of the pirate world.”
"So, I went to the logistics department overnight and spent all my money to buy these. I still have down jackets and snowmobiles in the system space. Do you want them?”
Qi Sheng ignored Madman Li's teasing and nodded in understanding. He could not help but sigh.
"You're really gambling. You're going bankrupt for an uncertain guess.”
"Hahaha…what are you afraid of? The barefooted are not afraid of those wearing shoes. At most, I will die for another month. Moreover, I won the bet.”
"Alright, second question, why did you sell us something that was intact?”
"If you want, you can do something to the parachute when you hand it over to us, such as scratching the parachute bag and blocking the opening area.”
"When we fall to our deaths, although some of the things that pop out of the space will be washed away by the current, you will still be able to get most of them.”
"It's very simple. This is not in line with my interests.”
"Only a fool would kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. You and I aren't fools, just like how I'm not afraid of you killing me and stealing my money.”
As he spoke, Madman Li pointed at the dozens of subjects behind Qi Sheng and then at the three melons and two dates beside him.
" We closed beta players have been living in this world for a month. Anyone with a bit of insight can tell that 'Civilization' must be mankind's second world.”
"And we are the pioneers of this Second World. We are the people who walk at the forefront!”
" What we should do now is to run forward and maintain our leading position. That way, we can harvest more resources. We shouldn't become enemies and drag each other down because of a little benefit at the moment.”
"You've seen through it very well!" Qi Sheng said with a smile.
"Didn't you see through it? When you were in the Great Desolate Country, you were always resolving the conflicts between the closed beta players.”Madman Li also laughed.
"Yes, we all understand, but aren't you afraid that there are other players who don't understand?”
"Of course I'm scared. How can I not be scared? That's why I stood at the edge of the Red Earth Continent when I sold umbrellas. That's why I have a delay bomb in my system space that cost me half of my wealth.”
"If anyone had any ill intentions just now…Bang! Once and for all, everyone would be finished.”
As he spoke, Madman Li gestured for an explosion.
"The third question, this is also the question I have always wanted to ask. Why do you want to farm subjects?”
"From the fact that you can infer that the Great Desolate Kingdom has just come into contact with the pirate world based on the mission reward, it can be seen that you can't ignore the rules hanging on the wall of the Subordinate Citizens 'Waste Bin.”
"Why did you deliberately make a mistake?”
"Hahahaha…of course I don't believe it!”
"The rule hanging on the wall is the same as the no-smoking rule in restaurants. There are no typical cases. Who knows if you will be punished if you break it.”
"What if the Great Desolate Empire is just putting on an act?”
"Bet on the one in ten thousand chance?”
Qi Sheng's eyes flashed with disbelief. Even though he had already guessed Madman Li's thoughts before he asked the question, it was still difficult for him to understand after hearing it for himself.
"Yes, that's why I lost. It was really miserable some time ago. I was almost depressed when I died.”
"However, I don't regret it!"
"If we want to be ahead of others with nothing, we can only rely on gambling. Those who don't dare to break the rules will only gradually disappear when the player tide arrives.”
"Qi Sheng, you asked me three questions. I'll ask you one too.”
"Alright." Qi Sheng nodded.
"They've all left. Why did you stay?”
"Nothing, I'm just curious." Qi Sheng hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Eh? Aren't you here to form an alliance with me?"
"You see, I'm a person who gambles a lot. I'm good at taking the unconventional path. There are only two endings. Either I lose completely, or I soar into the clouds.”
"As for you, Qi Sheng, you're steady, meticulous, and careful.”
"The two of us are like natural partners.”
After hearing this, Qi Sheng suddenly smiled.
" There's no point in saying it out loud. Alright, I admit that I stayed because I wanted to form an alliance with you, but let's forget about it now…"
"You remind me of someone."
"Who is it?"
"Blackbeard! You're the same, daring to gamble, ambitious, and good at pretending. You're stronger, not as easily arrogant as him. You know yourself very well and know where your weakness is. That's why I don't dare to ally with you. One day in the future, you'll definitely stab me with a knife.”
"Let's go. It seems that I have to go a little astray. Otherwise, what if I'm left behind by you?”
The two of them parted ways and ran into the distance with excited smiles.
Under the red soil continent, the waves suddenly surged, as if it was a sign of something…
