Since he had set it to mute before, Leo Ray was quite surprised to see so many private messages all at once.
He opened a few of them.
“Master Leo, my family is wealthy. Just give me a hand, and when we get back, I’ll give you 100 million! I could even make you the president of our listed company! How about that?”
“Master Leo, I’m a little famous, you probably recognize my name from before I crossed over while I was on a variety show. Could you please give me some food? I’m begging.”
“Brother Leo, can you take me with you? I have 10 million followers on Youtube, check out the attached files (sending love).”
…
After casually browsing for a while, Leo Ray’s face remained indifferent.
Among the messages, there were some from previously famous and high-ranking people in society.
However, their status and money from before they crossed over had not given them any help so far.
As for the content of the messages, they all revolved around seeking experience and backing, with many girls attaching additional files.
Puzzled, Leo Ray checked a few attachments, and his face became serious as he moved them all into the favorites folder.
Of course, he had no intention of replying to these private messages.
As it stands now, when the three-day protection period ends, more people will inevitably lose their lives.
Survival of the fittest and the extinction of the weak.
The law of the jungle applies perfectly here.
Perhaps, this is the essence of their collective crossing over.
From this, it’s clear that the only way to obtain true authority in this strange new world is to become stronger constantly.
Leo Ray knew that he wasn’t some savior; he just wanted to live well.
Having grown up in an orphanage, he understood from a young age.
Regardless of the world, it’s better to find a way to become stronger than to beg and ride the coattails of others.
At the very least, at this stage, he doesn’t need allies, let alone burdens.
With that in mind, he cleared all private messages and opened the trading center.
Next up was the main trading session.
Only the first Lord to complete the specified goal would receive a world broadcast and corresponding rewards.
So, according to the previous plan,
Leo Ray would anonymously upgrade his Lord’s Mansion to level 3.
It was time for the Anonymous Bigshot to make another appearance and attract some attention.
With that, he took out the initially 1000 portions of snake meat from the trading center, adjusted the price, and put some of it back up.
During this process, Leo was surprised to find that,
even with such a high exchange rate, over 20 portions of snake meat had been exchanged.
It seems that there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the Lords…
Anyway, because the resources required to upgrade to a level 3 Mansion were 6,000 units of wood, 3,000 units of thatch, and 1,500 units of stone—three times more than before—
Leo put up 300 portions of snake meat this time and set the price to be a third higher than the previous beef.
Of course, the Anonymous Bigshot had to maintain his reputation as a greedy dog!
[Trader: Anonymous]
[Items for trade: 300 portions of snake meat (1 portion per exchange, 0.5 kg per portion)]
[Required item 1: Stone (30 units)]
[Required item 2: Wood (60 units)]
[Required item 3: Thatch (120 units)]
As expected, once the snake meat was put up, the chat channel, which was still mainly about food, erupted in wails of misery.”Anonymous is selling 300 portions of snake meat? The price is much higher than Master Leo’s? Damn, it must be that black-hearted dog bigshot from the beginning!”
“I’m not trading! Absolutely not! It’s too dark a price!”
“What’s it like to eat snake meat in another world? Out of curiosity, I’ll try it for you guys!”
“Before the crossing, I worked for the boss. After the crossing, I worked for the black-hearted dog bigshot. My life is so bitter! Hmmm… The snake meat is indeed delicious!”
“Sigh, I didn’t have breakfast this morning, and have been working non-stop for more than 2 hours. Already starving, screw it, I’ll trade for one portion too!”
“May I ask the black-hearted dog bigshot… No, Anonymous Bigshot, can the meat be a little cheaper, please?”
“Upstairs, do you still have time to haggle? There are only about 150 portions left, you won’t have time if you don’t act now!”
“People actually trade at this high price? Idiots! What? The meat is running out? Ok, give me one portion too…”
…
Just like that, although there were many complaints in the chat channel, the 300 portions of meat were quickly snatched up in less than half a minute.
It can’t be helped. Food is currently a scarce resource.
Especially under the circumstances of performing physical labor, it is undoubtedly an essential item, let alone meat that can quickly replenish energy.
Therefore, as long as it’s within their means, there will be plenty of people eager to trade.
“Is this what a monopoly market is like? It’s exhilarating.”
Seeing the large amount of resources acquired effortlessly, Leo Ray couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
Of course, although this strategy has a bit of taking advantage of others’ desperation.
But with the current food shortage, both parties are simply meeting each other’s needs.
Moreover, Leo Ray’s approach indeed solved many people’s urgent problems.
After transferring all the resources into the storage space, Leo Ray found that he had now acquired a total of 12,000 units of wood, 7,200 units of thatch, and 1,200 units of stone.
“The wood and thatch are enough, and adding the remaining 100 units of stone from before, I’m still short of 200 units of stone…”
As he pondered, Leo Ray reopened the chat channel.
To his surprise, the chat participants had split into two factions and were arguing with each other!
“The anonymous dog bigshot is so greedy! The price is so much higher than Master Leo’s! An hour of labor is wasted again, I miss Master Leo’s conscience meat!”
“That’s right! The key point is that we indirectly encouraged the arrogance of the black-hearted dog bigshot, so regretful!”
“Give me a break! You complain about the trade now just after you traded, you guys are so shameless!”
“Exactly! Without Anonymous Bigshot’s food, would you guys even have meat to eat? Pfft!”
“Damn, there are people who support the black-hearted dog bigshot? As Master Leo’s number one fan, I disagree!”
“How could that be? We also have Anonymous Bigshot behind us, look how low-key and luxurious they are!”
“Look at my fierce temper! As an ace Leo fan, I’ll give those who support the black-hearted dog bigshot a sliding tackle!”
…
Seeing that his other identity unexpectedly had some supporters, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a helpless expression.
However, there were even more messages in the channel asking the bigshots to provide more food.
“Can you guys say less? If you have the time to chat, work more and save up some resources, isn’t that better?”
“I’m so hungry that I’m seeing stars. I don’t have the energy to work! The chat channel is full of talented people, speaking so nicely. I can only chat with everyone like this…”
“I don’t know if Master Leo is here or not? Could you please give us more conscience meat? I was short of 1 unit of wood at the beginning, and then again just now! I’m so unlucky…”
“Top floor support! Master Leo, please restock! My resources are ready!”
“Guys, don’t panic! Watch me summon Master Leo!”
“What an idiot! Master Leo is busy with his daily affairs, do you think he can be summoned just like that? I’ll stand upside down on the spot as tribute!”
…
Hmm? Seeing that a fellow actually had such a special skill, Leo Ray smiled slightly and typed a line in the chat box for the first time.
