Chapter 28: Prominent Light Red Stone, Tri-Colored Light Platform!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The world channel was bustling.

Many people had ended their second day of exploration.

Unlike the first day, almost nobody was asking for help.

Everyone understood one thing.

In this kind of environment, they could only rely on themselves.

It was difficult enough for one to survive, so awaiting others’ charity was laughable.

“I’m sharing the recipe to synthesize torches. You’ll need coal *2 and wood *2. Of course, a flint is required to light the torches. Don’t need to thank me. Just pray to the Gods for me to live on. By the way, my name is Lei Feng!”

“Thank you for sharing. I have a liter of water to trade. Those who need it can send me an offer privately.”

Water was an extremely rare resource.

However, based on the messages on the world channel, it seemed like quite a number of people had discovered a water source. 

Of course, there might be a few lucky people that spawned near a water source. If the others found out, they would definitely be envious.

Liao Fan did not put his water up for trade.

The reason was simple.

If he already set the price, then there would be no room for negotiation.

On the other hand, if other people sent him private messages, the price offered might be way higher.

At present, people were not short of materials.

What they lacked were food and water.

This was where Liao Fan had the advantage.

“Everyone, please pay attention! We don’t know the exact time, but the second is coming to an end. It’s best to make use of your daily speaker. Otherwise, it will just be wasted. Remember, it’s better to trade off materials that you do not use. Currently, I possess a steel plate. If you need it, send me an offer!”

Liao Fan was slightly stunned.

‘Steel plate?’

That was one of the materials needed to upgrade the cottage into a ‘War Chariot’.

Unfortunately, the person only had one and Liao Fan needed fifteen!

After jotting down the name of the person, Liao Fan continued to monitor the world channel.

“The monsters in the fog will destroy marks left by the players. Please be careful. It’s better to memorize your routes. I almost didn’t make it back today! Also, try not to go too far. It’s easy to get lost. Several people that I know have already fallen prey to this!”

“Can we stack our exploration percentages? I’ve already covered 5% of the area.”

…

One after another, people were sharing their experiences.

Everyone seemed to have reached a consensus.

To live.

If more people survived, then the truth would be unraveled sooner. 

There was no point in being selfish.

Besides, being a lone wolf would be difficult!

On the first day, barely anyone shared their experience.

They only kept silent and wasted the daily speakers.

Due to this, the number of people who were still alive decreased drastically by the second day. 

Each and everyone had their own tests to conquer.

Information about synthesis recipes, exploration tips, and anything regarding the mysterious fog was equally important.

Otherwise, one would easily catch diseases, get attacked by monsters, or die from hunger.

Being a lone wolf would certainly be disadvantageous.

There were not many resources in the wild and because of this, everyone had no choice but to band together.

This also applied to Liao Fan.

However, he had a trump card, and that was his amplification ability!

He could enhance all of his items by 1, making them more efficient and durable.

Furthermore, he had access to formulas by just staring at an item. 

There was no way he could share something like this in the world and regional channels.

‘I mean, what can I share? 

‘An advanced formula?

‘No way!’

If the advanced formulas were shared, it would cause a huge power imbalance.

As mentioned before, some players might have started out with a huge advantage in terms of resources. If they got their hands on an advanced formula, they would become unstoppable!

Moreover, they might not be good people. 

There was no way to predict what they might do.

This was why Liao Fan refused to share any advanced formulas.

As for other basic information, everybody already had access to it.

Liao Fan also discovered that nobody had access to the personal attributes panel yet.

In other words, he was ahead of everyone else.

Of course, there was a possibility that someone had already accessed it, but chose not to say a word.

Just as Liao Fan was about to turn off the world channel, he saw an interesting message! 

“Hello, I want to ask a question. What can I do with a light red stone? I found it in the wild and was wondering if I could trade it for a bottle of water.”

‘Light red stone?!’

[ Fluorescent stone + cyan stone + light red stone + iron ingot + indefinite amount of basic resources = tri-colored light platform. It can permanently emit light and purify a certain area. It can also be used to place stone statues. Has an enhanced faith effect.]

It can permanently dispel the surrounding fog!
