Luo Feng hadn't realized until reading these chats that most people outside were actually living such difficult lives.
However, Luo Feng was no saint—he would absolutely never give away his possessions for free.
If he started down that path, the moment he stopped playing the good guy even once, he'd undoubtedly face backlash.
Being a good person was truly too difficult.
Luo Feng decided it was best to just focus on himself.
Still, from these trades, Luo Feng discovered quite a few valuable items.
One item in particular caught his attention—something called a Time Accelerator.
So, Luo Feng sent a message to inquire about its function:
"I just joined this chat channel and noticed someone trading something called a Time Accelerator. Can anyone tell me what it does?
Whoever gives a good explanation will receive a piece of wood as a reward."
The moment Luo Feng's message appeared, the chat channel erupted.
Though Luo Feng was only offering a single piece of wood as a reward, for those with bad luck or poor Throwing Hook skills—
Some had been in this oceanic world for hours without acquiring even one piece of wood.
This alone demonstrated the value of wood.
"As expected of the great Shura! Even asking a question comes with a wood reward—such extravagance!"
"I don't know either, but just the name 'Time Accelerator' sounds incredibly advanced. Could it actually speed up time?"
"I know about this—it's my Time Accelerator that's up for trade."
Seeing someone respond, Luo Feng immediately followed up:
"Go ahead. If this Time Accelerator has special properties, I'll trade for however many you have."
Soon, the person replied:
"Great Shura, this Time Accelerator was something I obtained from a wooden crate. As we all know, crafting items here doesn't just require materials—
Each item also takes a certain amount of time to craft.
Some items take too long, and for those who can't wait, the Time Accelerator solves that problem.
The one I have can save you ten minutes of crafting time."
Luo Feng was stunned by this explanation. Such an incredible item actually existed in this world!
Both his Perfect Quality Water Purifier and Epic Quality Spear required three hours to craft.
But Luo Feng had no patience to wait that long. After all, out on the ocean, without a proper weapon, one could face an attack from a Great White Shark at any moment.
Though Luo Feng now had a Perfect Grade Raft and didn't need to fear the Great White Shark, he couldn't swallow his anger from its previous attack.
Next time he encountered that shark, Luo Feng was determined to impale it with his spear.
And now, he'd stumbled upon this incredible Time Accelerator—Luo Feng was practically overjoyed.
At this thought, Luo Feng quickly sent a message.
Shura: "I see you're all trading one wood for a 1-minute Time Accelerator.
I happen to need these Time Accelerators. I'll offer two wood for 1 minute of Time Accelerator.
I'll take as many as you have.
Anyone with Time Accelerators can contact me."
[Wood2] trades for [Time Accelerator1 minute]
As soon as Luo Feng posted this trade, the transactions instantly reached over a dozen.
At that moment, a clock-like object appeared in Luo Feng's hand.
On it was displayed a number:
[2 minutes]
Just then, the properties of the Time Accelerator appeared before Luo Feng.
[Time Accelerator]
Time Accelerated: 2 minutes
Description: Reduces the time required to craft any item. Time from different Time Accelerators can be transferred between them.
After reading the description, Luo Feng didn't hesitate—he immediately transferred all the time from the dozen or so Time Accelerators onto a single one.
Right now, the Item Levels of crafted items weren't particularly high, and a single Time Accelerator could only speed things up by a few minutes, so people didn't place much importance on them.
This time, Luo Feng got the better deal.
After over a dozen trades, Luo Feng looked at the number on the clock in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.
[2 hours]
Luo Feng had spent over two hundred wood in total, trading for 2 hours of acceleration. He was quite pleased with the result.
Seeing that everyone had already traded away their Time Accelerators, Luo Feng sent another message:
"This trade will continue indefinitely. Anyone who obtains a Time Accelerator can trade it directly.
I'll be stepping away now to gather more wood.
But before I go, I have something to say.
I'm currently looking for a girl named Tang Xuewei. If Tang Xuewei sees this message, I hope she contacts me as soon as possible.
And if anyone else has information about Tang Xuewei, you can also reach out to me.
The reward won't disappoint.
I have apples, bananas, grilled fish, drinking water—whatever you need. Whoever helps me find Tang Xuewei can have all of it."
The moment Luo Feng's message went out, the audience was stunned.
"Holy shit, am I seeing this right? Apples, bananas, grilled fish, drinking water—how can these things exist on the ocean?
Shura actually got his hands on food like this so quickly? I can't believe it."
"This has to be fake, right? We've only been in this world for a few hours. How could anyone have this much food? I think Shura is just saying this to get people to pay attention to Tang Xuewei's whereabouts."
"I don't believe it either. We don't have anything right now—how could anyone be fishing? And if there's grilled fish, where did the fire even come from?"
Seeing these responses, Luo Feng hadn't expected people to doubt his words.
What seemed like perfectly normal food to Luo Feng was completely unbelievable in their eyes.
It seemed he'd have to show them some of his food to convince them.
As a result, two new trade items appeared on the trading platform.
[Golden Banana*10] trades for [Tang Xuewei's information]
[Fish*10] trades for [Tang Xuewei's information]
When these items appeared, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
