Chapter 69 – Soul-Nourishing Fluid

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Everyone here are friends I get along well with in the group chat. Now that we’re in this perilous Survival World, it’s always good to look out for each other. I created this group for three reasons: First, to facilitate information exchange. After all, one person’s knowledge is limited, but many hands make light work. Some piece of information might save our lives at a critical moment. Second, we can band together for mutual support and assist each other in times of danger. Third, I consider you all trustworthy people, making transactions relatively safer without worrying about being scammed.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Additionally, I have the Appraisal Technique. If any of you have items that need appraising, I can do it for free.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Also, whenever I have good items to sell in the future, I’ll prioritize posting them in this group, giving you all first dibs.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [That’s all I have to say. If anyone disagrees, you can leave the group at any time.]

Meichuan Kuzi: [Haha! Only a fool would leave the group. I’m sticking around, just hoping Big Shot Wuwang doesn’t kick me out.]

Wangzai Little Brat: [Hey, @Meichuan Kuzi, you sure know how to flatter. But I’m the same—I’d never leave this group even if beaten to death.]

Duan Zhengchun: [I’m very grateful for Big Brother Wuwang’s help. If it weren’t for his assistance at two critical moments, I might not have survived until now.]

Death Gun God: [Actually, I provided this Group Chat Card. I only hoped for a spot in the group, but Big Shot Wuwang still gave me 10 Infinite Coins. I trust Big Shot Wuwang’s character—following him is definitely the right move.]

Steel Straight Man: [Same here!]

Yun Feifei: [@Wuwang Kuangzun, please take care of us from now on!]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [No need for special care. I hope all group members adhere to a principle of fairness and justice, whether in transactions or other actions. Only then can our relationships last long.]

After Wuwang Kuangzun said this, everyone expressed agreement, and the atmosphere remained quite harmonious and positive.

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Let me reiterate: tomorrow is the last day of the Novice Protection Period and will also mark the first Instance Event. In the instance, everyone will drive their trains through endless wilderness at high speed, facing countless Monster attacks and sieges along the way. Slow train speed, weak defense, and low attack power could all pose dangers. Upgrading your train to level 3 basically ensures safe clearance, though you might need to spend some money and Materials afterward to repair the train’s Durability. If your train isn’t at level 3, you’ll need to find ways to improve its speed, defense, and attack capabilities to have a decent chance of clearing the instance.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Oh, and one more thing: when anyone shares strategies in the group, others must respect the original Master and not spread them without permission. If anyone is found violating this principle, there’s only one consequence—permanent removal from the group chat! Please remember this!]

Yun Feifei: [Strategies have value. Since everyone is sharing them freely in the group, others are already benefiting greatly. Respecting originality and following the rules is only right. I fully support Wuwang Kuangzun’s decision.]

Steel Straight Man: [Exactly, exactly. With this rule in place, everyone can share more confidently without worrying about their hard work being taken by others arbitrarily.]

Meichuan Kuzi: [I agree too, because no one knows whether the people outside are friend or foe, and none of us want our enemies to grow stronger.]

Duan Zhengchun: [Big Brother Wuwang has really thought this through thoroughly. I fully support this decision.]

Wangzai Little Brat: [+1]

Death Gun God: [+1]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Excellent! From your earlier replies, I know that most of you are short on Train Upgrade Shards to reach level 3. I currently have some in stock. The market price is 8–10 Infinite Coins per Train Upgrade Shard, but if you want them, I’ll sell them to you at a flat rate of 8 Infinite Coins each. If you don’t have enough Infinite Coins, you can also redeem them with rare materials or items.]

Wangzai Little Brat: [@Wuwang Big Shot, what counts as rare materials? Let me see if I have any.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [1 Infinite Coin = 2 Rare Metals = 1 Gold = 2 Silver = 2 Refined Iron = 10 Wood Pith. If you have these materials, I’ll accept them too.]

Duan Zhengchun: [I have 20 Gold. I’ll trade with you. Also, I have a card here. Big Brother Wuwang, what price would you give for it?]

Xiao Wuwang immediately took out the card from the mail.

After appraising it, he discovered it was actually an Intermediate Storage Cell Stasis Card—an item that could turn 10 cells in a Storage Carriage into Stasis Space!

This was a rare item!

Xiao Wuwang directly posted the appraised information in the group chat.

Wuwang Kuangzun: [@Duan Zhengchun, this is a rare card. I can offer you 200 Infinite Coins for it now. If the demand for Stasis Space increases in the future, it still has great potential for appreciation.]

Wangzai Little Brat: [Wow! That expensive? 200 Infinite Coins! That’s enough to guarantee reaching level 3!]

Yun Feifei: [Wooo~ I really want it too, but unfortunately, I can’t offer such a high price. Getting 200 Infinite Coins for it at this stage is a great deal! Big Shot Wuwang’s offer is very fair.]

Duan Zhengchun: [Hehe! Is it really that valuable? Then I’ll sell it. Better to level up first! Big Brother Wuwang, give me 5 Upgrade Shards first.]

Xiao Wuwang transferred 5 Train Upgrade Shards and 180 Infinite Coins.

After the transaction was completed, Xiao Wuwang immediately activated the Intermediate Storage Cell Stasis Card and placed all the Crimson Flame Bear Meat obtained from breaking it down—a total of 2,358 units—into one of the cells.

His personal Stasis Space only had 5 slots, each capable of holding up to 100 units. He had originally been worried that the energy of the Crimson Flame Bear Meat, which couldn’t fit into the Stasis Space, would gradually dissipate. Now, the problem was completely solved. His Storage Carriage was an Infinite Storage Carriage—as long as it was the same type of item, no matter the quantity, it could all be stored in a single cell.

One cell was filled with bear meat, another with bear blood.

Xiao Wuwang’s personal Stasis Space was finally emptied.

Just after establishing the group chat, he had acquired a rare item—undoubtedly a good omen, making Xiao Wuwang even more confident about future developments.

Xiao Wuwang turned his attention back to the group chat.

At this time, others who hadn’t reached level 3 also began offering rare materials or items to exchange with Xiao Wuwang for Train Upgrade Shards.

In the end, after tallying everything up, Xiao Wuwang had spent 25 Train Upgrade Shards and 60 Infinite Coins and obtained: Level 3 Turtle Vine Armor Production Blueprint1, Level 2 Hydrogen Fuel Cell1, Level 2 Soul-Nourishing Fluid1, Gold80, Silver*120, and 80 Refined Iron.

He happened to have the main material for the Turtle Vine Armor—the Level 3 plant, Turtle Shell Grass—which he acquired for 20 Infinite Coins.

The Level 2 Hydrogen Fuel Cell had some utility, so he purchased it for 10 Infinite Coins.

To his delight, he even managed to trade for a bottle of Soul-Nourishing Fluid from these individuals!

With a bottle of Soul-Nourishing Fluid, he could derive the entire chain of Spirit-enhancing pharmaceuticals.
