Chapter 8: Advanced Technology, Low Quality Life

No matter what it was, once the ‘rare’ prefix was attached, it would be like the words ‘limited edition.’ Regardless of whether the quality was higher, it would be more expensive.

Was Chen Changan someone who lacked money?

He clicked into the hot topic list. The title of the first post on the hot topic list was: “No one understands rare materials better than me.”

The content was filled with all sorts of exaggerations and pretentiousness. Ten posts were posted about a simple matter, and the comments below were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

“Fifty packets of mail to relieve your worries!”

“nmsl❤”

“You always forget to bring toilet paper when you go to the toilet!”

“Your wife will definitely cheat on you after you die!”

Seeing the word ‘toilet,’ Chen Changan remained silent. He wanted to say something but ended up complaining. ‘I don’t have any paper either!’

Chen Changan was not the only one. No matter how noble and civilized humans were on Earth, nobody used paper after coming to the Deep Sea World. Everyone became Indian.

Chen Changan translated the hot post’s contents in a simple manner. In fact, the original poster didn’t want to deal with weak sharks (not daring to hunt sharks) and relied on the fact that he could swim to explore the Deep Sea World’s secrets (accidentally falling into the water). Coincidentally, he discovered a large sea turtle (he was treated as food by the large sea turtle) under the sea surface. He then used fresh fish innards to lure the large sea turtle to the sea surface (forced to throw all the food out to divert the large sea turtle’s attention) and finally killed it (after feeding it well, he stabbed it in the back).

Not only did the turtle drop drifting materials, but the OP also caught a large bathtub filled with mud.

That was all.

The rest of the comments were all smugly praising themselves, saying things like: ‘Let humanity be great again,’ ‘A nod from me, and we can return to Earth,’ and ‘I’m really too outstanding.’

Chen Changan could take a screenshot of the system’s information and post it on the forum, but the original poster didn’t post the system information about the bathtub ship. This made Chen Changan rather unhappy.

Not long after, some weird accounts appeared in the trending posts. Every word and action showed their rich experience in creating trouble on Weibo.

“No one knows OP better than me! He’s just bragging!”

“No way, no way, no way. Could it be that someone really treated bragging as real?”

“This person is a liar!”

On the other side of the ocean, a blond man—who was waving an accordion—was so angry that he almost broke the raft with his foot. He talked to these netizens crazily.

However, these people didn’t follow the rules and kept teasing the blond man.

“He’s anxious, he’s anxious, he’s anxious!”

“The more you explain, the more you are trying to hide it!”

“Nobody knows how to brag better than me!”

The fight between them attracted more onlookers.

The blond man was so angry that his face was red. He posted the system information he obtained from the bathtub boat on the forum.

[An old bathtub boat (planted)]

Quality: White

Durability: 60 / 100

Description: A miniature 1.5m × 2m plantation ship, transformed from a large lady’s bathtub. It contains a lot of soil.

Special Effect: Increase the growth rate of plants, doubling the growth rate of ordinary plants.

Equipment: Rare Salt Island Mud, sea cabbage seed ×1000.

Evaluation: Nangong Cuihua’s fragrance is still lingering on the wooden board.

Finally, the blond man said smugly, “This ship is not for sale!”

“Good stuff~” Chen Changan closed his alternate account. There was no joking tone in his voice. He looked at the system information of the ship and said, “I’m definitely going to take over this ship. Even Jesus can’t stop me!”

Chen Changan gave up the strategy of using his alternate account to fight and invited his main account!

The main account posted!

[Just now, I saw an egomaniac who said that he could travel back to Earth with just a nod. Let me ask you: Do you have water to drink? Do you have meat to eat?]

[Here it is—@ Blondie’s account name]

Chen Changan’s main account—which had been popular for a long time—had managed to retain hundreds of active fans with a steady updating attitude. When he posted his first post, the number of views instantly exceeded 1,000.

After the blond-haired man posted the bathtub boat’s system information, Chen Changan’s many alternate accounts quieted down. In the comments, he tagged the accounts that had ridiculed him before and announced, “I hereby announce that I have won… this debate! Maga!”

The netizens lost interest when they saw many accounts turn into gray avatars. After posting comments like ‘yes yes yes, you win,’ they left.

The next second—the fan army attacked!

Thousands of netizens who had received the help of the ‘Newbie Survival Tips’ trending post appeared and copied and pasted: “Egoist, do you have water to drink? Do you have meat to eat?”

“Egoist, do you have water to drink? Do you have meat to eat?”

“Egoist, do you have water to drink? Do you have meat to eat?”

Three qualities!

The blond man—who had just calmed down—exploded again. Just as he was about to start a fight, he discovered an awkward fact.

There was only the corpse of a large sea turtle beside him, as well as a plant ship that had great potential but was useless in the short term.

While helpless, a comment by netizen ‘Make America Great Again’ was endearing and inspired the blonde: “There’s a lot of food and water in the market.”

The blond man opened the trading market. The shark meat that filled the mountains made him lose the thought of selling the sea turtle, but for a moment, he couldn’t bear to sell the plantation ship.

Just as he was feeling conflicted, Chen Changan delivered his final attack.

Chen Changan put up five liters of hot water, 50 steaming, barbequed shark meat skewers, and the wine he had painstakingly collected for sale. The purchase conditions were: [White and above-grade items. Rare items have priority.]

A minute later, he received a transaction request from the blond man.

Chen Changan leaned back and leaned against the wooden bucket with a smile. “Transaction agreed.”

[System Notification: Congratulations, you have obtained an old bathtub boat (planted)]

A small boat in the shape of a tub appeared beside the raft. Chen Changan had achieved his goal.

He sighed. “Dreaming back to the era of Weibo, being a troll army and provoking public figures. How interesting.”

The blond man posted his transaction records in the post, promoting his luxurious life.

He drank wine, ate shark meat skewers, and had plenty of hot water. The blond man used facts to counter the netizens’ “Do you have water to drink? Do you have meat to eat?”

One-sided news always lacked popularity.

When the blond man finished his melon, countless netizens turned their attention to other trending topics.

The sky was about to turn dark, and darkness surrounded them.

The netizens were lying on narrow, dirty, and worn rafts. There was nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Therefore, they used the translucent light beams to browse the forums. They pitied the celebrities far away, mocked the high-ranking officials and nobles who had fallen from the clouds, worshiped the brave warriors who dared to hunt sharks, and reminisced about the good times of Earth.

“True treasures don’t cry. You can also become an Internet celebrity in the Deep Sea World!”

“Hey, isn’t this the person who got more than one million yuan from the village? Where’s the money? Can you use it?”

“Sharks, I’ll kill them sooner or later…”

“…”

They were getting hungrier and hungrier, but they refused to look for food. Their dry lips and tongues made no sound.

They were obsessed with giving pointers on the Internet. They were full of vigor and gained a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from falsehoods.

Someone recalled a clip from the ‘The Three and the Great Gods’ documentary: an old man had used his smartphone to scan the QR code and paid the hotel room fee. It was 15 RMB a night.

Others laughed self-deprecatingly.

We are born without success. Only entertainment makes us truly not want to die.

It was as if he could empathize with her, but unfortunately, that was all.

They were dead. They died in this never-before-seen ocean doomsday.
