Chapter 13: Intercepted by Someone Else

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Every country wanted the saxaul forest. They originally thought that it would fall into Shen Fei’s hands. After all, he had the oasis and was backed by the entire lake. He could offer a few tons, let alone 100 kg.

However, at this moment, he was occupied by the desert eagle, giving the other players a chance.

When the audience from the other countries looked at their own country’s players, who had no intention of trading for the saxaul forest, they were simply disappointed!

“If these players knew that the items in the game could appear in reality, it wouldn’t be like this.”

“Exactly. Do these people know what they’re missing out on?”

“It can’t be helped. Not everyone has so much water, and they need it themselves.”

Other than a few powerful players, most people really would not be able to offer so much water. How could they possibly trade with others when they had too little for their own use?

“Let’s disperse. I think only players like Egypt, Arabia, M, and England have the ability to do so.”

“Am I the only one who feels sorry for the Korean girl? She’s abasing herself so much. How can the Egyptian player bear to do this? He has no compassion for the fairer sex.”

“You’re not alone.”

Although that was what everyone said, everyone knew that this was a survival game. Since that was the case, it definitely depended on one’s own ability. ​​Gender was irrelevant.

Not to mention that this actually involved the real world. Naturally, only those with the greatest strength could persevere until the end. Furthermore, everyone hoped that their country would obtain more resources.

Although the price slashing was a little too much, it was made on a mutually voluntary basis.

Seeing that the Egyptian player did not budge at all, the Korean player could not help but fall into despair. Her opponent had time to waste, but she did not.

Moreover, the Egyptian player had her in his grasp. She had no other choice. If she had known that this would happen, she would have chosen something related to water to avoid falling into such a predicament now.

The Korean player said, “60 kg, that is my bottom line.”

The Egyptian player said, “50 kg.

Seeing this number, the Korean player was almost driven crazy. She had already lowered her price again and again, but her opponent did not budge an inch.

“Poor Korean girl. She’s already crying. Isn’t the Egyptian side too inhumane?”

“They are still functioning with a class system. I heard that the hierarchy is strict. The higher-ups rule the lower classes. Humanity doesn’t exist.”

“You guys can discuss the matter, but don’t attack other countries. Your hearts bleed just because it’s a girl. If it’s another guy, you guys might even cheer him on.”

The Korean player did not reply. She was silent for a while, as if she had accepted her fate. Then, she hung up saxaul forest in the trading section. Soon, a system notification popped up.

[Saxaul forest, requires 50 kg of water for trade.]

Upon seeing this, the viewers of the Egyptian live stream became excited.

“Awesome! He used the least amount of water to exchange for such a useful tool. Soon, our country will also have forests.”

“I really hope that forest will appear at my doorstep.”

“No matter where it appears, it’s a good thing that benefits Egypt.”

The Egyptian player smiled victoriously and opened the trading box.

However—

[Shen Fei successfully traded for the saxaul forest]

A new message popped up, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

???

Everyone was confused.

“What is this? Am I seeing things? Why is it Shen Fei? Isn’t he dealing with the desert eagle? How did he find the time to trade?”

“How long did he stay single to be quick enough to make the trade immediately?”

“If I could snatch the red packet with his speed, I might be a millionaire now.”

The Egyptian player stared at it several times with wide eyes. The saxaul forest was long gone. The blank trading section, with his awkward hands suspended in midair, made for a mocking sight.

…

Oasis.

The twin fairies approached the desert eagle one after another. Perhaps it was because of the affinity of the fairies, but the desert eagle only flapped its wings and did not attack.

[Twin Fairies Skill: Affinity]

[Host sharing Monica’s skill: Confusion]

Shen Fei tried to get closer, only to see the cold eyes of the desert eagle gradually turning gentle. Even so, it still didn’t let down its guard. He slowly extended his hand, while his other hand circulated the Desert Emperor’s ability.

If the desert eagle made any abrupt movement, he could save himself.

The coarse feather brushed across his palm. It was not soft, but it had a different feel to it. The desert eagle tilted its head and rubbed its sharp beak against his hand carefully.

Sensing its goodwill, Shen Fei let out a sigh of relief. Remembering that he had wanted to trade, he didn’t expect to find a long chat the moment he opened the trade section. He wasn’t interested in looking at it closely, so he scrolled down all the way to the end, just in time to see the saxaul forest hanging up.

He chose to trade without hesitation.

Now that he had the entire lake, this amount of water was nothing to him.

The Korean player was also stunned. She didn’t expect Shen Fei to be the one trading with her. Shen Fei didn’t appear at all in the conversation just now. It was as if he appeared out of nowhere.

Could it be that he had been secretly watching the whole time and waiting to intercept the Egyptian player? What kind of grudge did he have?

Although the Korean player was a little unhappy with how low the price was, when she thought about how the Egyptian player had slashed the price so much and ended up being intercepted, she suddenly felt better.

That’s what you get for slashing the price so much. Now someone else intercepted you. If you had finished trading a few seconds earlier, things would not have ended like this.

“Damn Shen Fei, what grudge do you have against me? Why are you going against me like this?”

The Egyptian player was so angry that he cursed all of Shen Fei’s ancestors. He sent a message directly on the world channel. Perhaps some of the words were so rude that they were censored by the system.

Many people had also seen the price slashing between the Egyptian and Korean players. They did not expect that someone would throw a wrench in the works. No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like he was deliberately trying to intercept it.

It’s no wonder everyone thought so. After all, the timing of Shen Fei’s appearance was too much of a coincidence. It was as if he was just waiting for the moment.

This would be a huge grudge.

The Egyptian player said, “Shen Fei, just you wait. I’ll remember you. You intercepted what’s mine.”

Shen Fei looked at the messages spamming like crazy in puzzlement. Remembering the records in the trading section, he scrolled up and immediately understood what was going on.

Shen Fei said, “Oh.”

It was a simple word, but it infuriated the Ramesses descendant half to death. It felt like his anger had been dismissed.

Shen Fei said, “It’s just a small amount of water, yet you were so stingy. You kept dawdling instead of trading, and now you’re blaming others for it? What do you want me to remember about you? That you’re stingy?”

At that moment, all the players laughed. The Korean player in particular felt even more satisfied. Although Shen Fei was also buying at a low price, he had helped her to take revenge against the Egyptian player’s price slashing..
