Chapter 11: Activation of the Trading System

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the blue dome of heaven, the lush green trees appeared like an exquisite piece of translucent jade, almost blinding everyone with its luster.

There was nothing in the wasteland only a second ago. In the blink of an eye, a forest had appeared!

Someone patted his head as if he was talking in his sleep. “Am I hallucinating from heatstroke?”

“I see it too!”

A place with a forest meant that there would be a water source. However, the strange thing was that there was clearly nothing there before.

“Could it be a mirage?”

“How can a mirage appear in our place? I’ve never even heard of it.”

“Whether it’s real or not, we’ll know once we walk over there!”

Everyone walked toward the green forest with anxious excitement. When they finally stepped onto the green grass, their expressions were still somewhat incredulous, as if they were in a dream.

“This is actually real! Quick, pinch me. I’m not dreaming, right?”

“Look, there’s a huge lake there!”

When everyone heard this, they were instantly energized. Their originally leaden footsteps were now on full power as they swarmed towards the lake. Some people’s shoes even fell off while they were running in the meantime, but no one turned back to pick them up.

They reached out their trembling hands. The cold sensation reminded them that everything before their eyes was not an illusion.

“It’s really water!”

Some were so excited that their eyes had turned red, some were dancing with joy, so excited that they could almost jump into the sky. There were also some who did a few flips in a row, and even some who plunged their heads into the water and drank their fills until their stomachs were bloated.

“This is wonderful, the village is finally saved.”

Everyone only calmed down slowly after the excitement was over. “How did such a huge forest and lake appear? I remember there clearly wasn’t one before.”

Since it was not an illusion, and they were sure that their memories were not wrong, the forest and the lake had indeed appeared out of thin air.

“Could it be that heaven itself can’t bear to see us in such desperate straits? That’s why it gave us such a precious place.”

The discovery of a large area of oasis in the northwestern region was quickly reported, and the leaders immediately sent people to investigate on-site. Only then did everyone know the secret it held.

Although they knew of the existence of this game, they had never paid attention to the live-stream. After all, they were in a difficult situation. Who would have the leisure to watch the live-stream?

At the same time, this news quickly spread.

In fact, many well-informed people had already heard about the timber incident. Now that such a large oasis had appeared, even the country could not hide it from them.

Seeing that there was no way to hide the truth, Country Hua decided to make it public. At the same time, other countries also made it public. The entire world was in an uproar.

“What! So that’s what the game affecting the real world meant. The things in the game can actually become real!”

“This is too awesome. It’s totally subverting my world view in the past twenty years.”

“I feel like this is going to develop into a fantasy world. The saying about the end of science being theology is really the truth.”

“I’m guessing without basis that the next step will be the recovery of spiritual energy.”

“Previous poster, your imagination is rather wild. However, who knows what will happen in the future? This game is too amazing. Until now, the governments have yet to figure out its origins. Who would know, maybe everything will come true afterwards.”

“As you can imagine, our lives will change drastically in the future. Players in the game, do your best. This time, you are not fighting alone, but for your country.”

After this news was released, the number of viewers in the live-stream increased further to a terrifying amount. If the densely packed bullet chat wasn’t censored, it would be impossible to see the content of the video.

While the global discussion was heated, Country Hua wasn’t idling about either.

In the real world, this oasis was much larger than what they could see on the screen. It not only resolved the water shortage of more than ten villages, but also resolved that in the surrounding areas, with surplus.

The country was quick to act. They immediately sent people over to set up the relevant conduits and directed the water to other places with water shortage nearby, alleviating the urgent situation.

This action could be said to have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Everyone was extremely grateful towards Shen Fei. If it wasn’t for him, the lives of so many people would have been greatly threatened. Countless people rushed into the broadcast room to express their gratitude.

Even the government could not help but heave a sigh of relief. The heavy burden on their shoulders was finally relieved. Things were finally going in a good direction.

Compared to Country Hua’s excitement and joy, other countries were still in dire straits. However, they could only watch and pray for their own country’s players.

…

Shen Fei still doesn’t know that he has become the savior of countless people. At the same time, two system notifications have been refreshed in the game.

[Since someone has discovered the oasis, the trading system has been activated.]

[Other players, please continue to explore and discover the other oases.]

These two short lines contained a lot of information. Both the players in the game and the audience in the live-stream were excited.

“Could it be that whoever discovers the oasis first will be bound to the oasis? Right now, Shen Fei is the first to discover it. With such an important resource, his strength will probably increase by a huge amount.”

“They can actually trade? It seems like these players can exchange resources with each other. Even if someone finds other oases later, their pace would still be relatively slow.”

“I guess there are still many functions in the game that have yet to be developed, waiting for players to explore or meet certain requirements.”

Shen Fei was just worrying about how to make a deal with a Korean player. Now that the trading system was open, it’s exactly what he wanted. He quickly opened the trading section. It’s already lively inside. Clearly, the others were also very fast to act. Many people wanted to trade.

The messages came one after another, dazzling everyone.

Just as Shen Fei was about to contact the Korean player, a line of golden words appeared in the air.

[Perhaps you should pay attention to your surroundings. Even in a safe place, you cannot let your guard down.]

Shen Fei lifted his head abruptly, only to see the calm surroundings without any abnormalities.

Suddenly, Monie tugged at his clothes and said uneasily, “I feel something. It seems like something is approaching.”
