“shark meat is shark meat, why is it Bull shark meat? Can it even praise itself?”
“No, bro, are we in the same competition? Why do I only fish out old socks and smelly shoes, while you fish out white items, green items, and even rare ones!”
“Holy crap! It’s that awesome it can defend against sharks? I waste so many materials every day repairing the floor chewed up by sharks! Give me one, I’ll take it directly if it’s under 10 shell coins! Nothing is as useful as this!”
“You want to buy it for 10 shell coins? Didn’t you see the recommended minimum price is 20 shell coins each? I’ll buy it, bro, hang it lower, I really need this!”
“Where did you get 20 shell coins? Are you cheating?!”
“He must have sold something. I was lucky yesterday and fished out a lot of food, and it was instantly bought as soon as I listed it. Bro, list it, but don’t make it too high. Everyone has few shell coins in the early stage. It’s really not worth it to hold onto the item for three days just to earn a few more shell coins!”
“Iron barrels have a chance to drop shell coins! I just got a 10-value one! I have 20 shell coins now! Hahahahaha, awesome! Brothers, if you see an iron barrel, don’t miss it, fish hard!”
“I don’t believe it, unless you transfer the shell coins you fished out for me to see.”
“Oh my god, should I save up for shark teeth or coral stones? I want both, what should I do qaq”
“Why are you guys dawdling here? He already listed them! Only five! At the recommended minimum price! Two have already been sold in that short time!”
“Holy crap! Brothers, I have an emergency, I’m taking my leave first!”
In front of the light screen.
Chen Mo looked at the instantly sold-out shark teeth, his expression not easing, but rather becoming more solemn.
Because these contestants, while claiming to have no shell coins, actually had much greater purchasing power than he imagined.
You know, it had only been half an hour since the Trading House opened.
The recommended price for shark teeth was 20-30 shell coins, and given their current rarity, someone would probably even pay 40.
But Chen Mo’s goal right now was high sales volume.
At this stage, were there more people with 20 shell coins or 40 shell coins? The answer was obvious.
Listing at a low price was at least safer. To earn an extra 20 shell coins, only to have the goods stuck in the Trading House, unable to be cashed out and thus missing out on the extraordinary optional item, would be completely picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon.
He was determined to get the Powerful Sea Turtle Feed, but no one knew if there would be some chosen one or child of destiny in this district.
He seemed to have a huge advantage, but with both eyes blind, the faster he offloaded his items, the safer it was.
If he could sell all 35 shark teeth for 20 each, he would basically be set.
Thinking this, Chen Mo listed the remaining shark teeth at a price of 20 shell coins.
Only this time, the shark teeth sold much slower than the previous round.
And the Bull shark meat, also listed at a minimum price of 10 shell coins, hadn't sold a single one.
The 240 energy value and temporary special effects were indeed appealing, but just as someone had said before.
Without a campfire and with everyone having few shell coins, they would rather choose the 3-shell coin expired black bread.
Chen Mo didn't sit idly by, his eyes fixed on the chat window, searching for potential customers.
Surprisingly, aside from those joking around, he actually found a few.
“Do you have thin clothes? The day I was teleported here, I was traveling in Antarctica to see emperor penguins, wearing a big cotton coat, and I hadn’t even put on thermal underwear. I’ve been floating naked on the sea for two days! 【Attached two photos of steamed buns】”
“You scared me, bro, I thought you were showing me your bare butt, holy crap.”
“Yes, bro, yes! 【Fashionable Beach Shorts】 【Fashionable Old Man’s Vest】 Listed!”
“Do you have a lamp or a candle? Torches are too hot indoors, and if I don’t use them, it’s dark and scary at night when I’m alone.”
“Yes, bro, yes! 【Flashing Yo-Yo】 Brighter than an incandescent light bulb!”
“Oh my god! This bro really listed it, a new piece of clothing for only 5 shell coins? Bro, you’re too kind! I’ve wanted to change out of these old clothes for a long time, but unfortunately, I didn’t get one, sigh, list some more, bro! 【Attached a selfie in a clown costume, with a clown hat discarded on the ship deck nearby】”
“Um… do you have sanitary pads…?”
“No, you guys are really extravagant. In a survival game, do you still care about comfort? If your clothes get smelly, just go topless. If you don’t have shell coins or food, you’ll be the first to die, believe it or not?”
“Exactly, a bunch of pampered young masters and ladies, they won’t even know how they died after the novice period is over.”
“Haha, serves them right, serves them right.”
“Not necessarily young masters and ladies, could also be university students.”
“I earn 10 shell coins a day, and I’m happy to spend 5 shell coins to improve my quality of life, do you have a problem with that?!”
“Just buy it! Just buy it! Did university students eat your rice! Why are you barking!”
“Yes, sis, yes! 【Super Jelly Sanitary Pads】”
“No, bro, how do you have everything? Are you running a hardware store?”
“Hahaha, after Charging Bro, Jiaopen Jie, Fishing Sis, Yacht Bro, Freshwater Bro, and Shanhu Ge, now there’s another bro! Miscellaneous Goods Bro!”
“Miscellaneous Goods Bro listed clothes again! Hurry and grab them!”
“Oh no, don’t list it for 5 shell coins, I really have 5 shell coins, Miscellaneous Goods Bro, you’re doing this on purpose!!”
“Do you have marine lubricant?”
“Yes, bro, yes! 【Marine High-Grade Lubricant】”
“Holy crap! Recommended minimum selling price 500 shell coins?! Is this oil crude oil?!!!”
“Holy crap!!!!! It sold!!!!! Yacht Bro, I bow to you!!!!!!!!”

...
On the boundless ocean.
A private yacht, equipped with 12 solar engines and making a sound like a tractor, was sailing on the sea.
Inside the yacht cabin sat a trendy young man with bleached gray hair.
It was Han Yu, the Yacht Bro, who had been quite arrogant in the chat channel these past few days.
Despite his outward arrogance, Han Yu had actually been on the verge of dying from worry for the past two days.
Initially, he worried about the engines, but through his persistent garbage fishing, he poured all his resources into the engines. In two days, he finally managed to get twelve solar engines, enough to power his boat's engines for a day.
But before he could relax and enjoy life as a captain, bad news struck the yacht again.
The marine lubricant's oxidation level was 98%.
Han Yu owned a private yacht before being teleported here. Although he didn't usually operate or maintain it himself, he knew how important marine lubricant was to a boat.
While a boat could still run with oxidized marine lubricant, the risk was extremely high. Forced navigation would cause abnormal wear on metal parts, clogged oil lines, overheating, and even melting of components. In short.
It was like a Damocles sword hanging over his head.
It could fall at any moment, and when it did, it would definitely be fatal.
So, even though Han Yu still bragged in the chat channel every day, his hair was falling out in handfuls from worry behind the scenes.
He had originally thought that opening the Trading House might save his life, but he had searched the Trading House until now and hadn't even seen a plastic bottle of lubricant.
Until, a person selling miscellaneous goods everywhere appeared in the chat channel.
With a try-it-out attitude, Han Yu asked a question.
“Do you have marine lubricant?”
“Yes, bro, yes! 【Marine High-Grade Lubricant】”
【Obtained: Marine High-Grade Lubricant (Blue Quality) x1】
【Description: Makes your mechanical parts run like new! Reduces wear! Can supply vehicles below 20 knots for over two months.】
“Holy crap!”
Han Yu was so excited he almost jumped out of his chair. He immediately opened the search bar and, sure enough, saw the product information for 【Marine High-Grade Lubricant】 there.
And it was blue quality!!!
However, upon seeing the price, Han Yu’s excited expression instantly cracked.
500 shell coins!
Was he playing with him, setting the price so high? This broken system couldn’t possibly know—
He just happened to have 500 shell coins, right?!!!
Yes.
Han Yu really did.
The luxury yacht's entertainment area had an old slot machine.
No matter what, as long as an item could fit into the slot machine's intake, it would activate.
Once activated, if the same pattern appeared in the three windows on the slot machine's screen, it was a win, and he would receive double the resources he put in.
If the three patterns were the same color, it would trigger a 10x super critical multiplier again.
These past two days, Han Yu had been itching to play, and so far, he had put in 3 bottles of cola, 1 bag of biscuits, and various materials and trash.
Undoubtedly, he had never won a prize.
He thought this old slot machine was completely a scam and vowed never to play again, but every once in a while, he would get a strange surge of self-confidence that he was the chosen one.
That one 25-denomination shell coin was something he found on the deck that morning.
Today, he woke up to find a flock of red macaws on the deck, and one of the largest macaws even wore a mini black captain's hat on its head.
It was clearly not an ordinary parrot.
Han Yu tried to catch it, but failed. After the flock of parrots was startled and flew away, the pirate hat parrot left behind a shell coin.
At that time, Han Yu didn't know what a shell coin was, but because it was just the right size, he put it into the old slot machine with a try-it-out attitude.
He didn't know if it was because he had put enough in before, but as soon as this shell coin was put in.
It triggered the super critical multiplier!
Directly turning his 25 shell coins into 500 shell coins!
The rest, everyone knew.
While 500 shell coins were important, compared to this yacht.
They really weren't much.
Han Yu gritted his teeth and pressed purchase.
【Transaction successful!】
【Congratulations on obtaining: Marine High-Grade Lubricant (Blue Quality) x1】
【Automatically injected into your yacht】
【Usage duration: 1531 hours】
Han Yu revealed a knowing smile, tears in his eyes.
He slumped into the luxury yacht’s built-in massage chair.
As if his body had been instantly drained.
