Lord Game: Awakening The Legendary Multiplier From The Start - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: The Exploding World Channel

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liao Fan accessed the world channel.

It was bustling.

There were two reasons for the liveliness.

First of all, it was almost nighttime.

The outside world would become even more dangerous.

Most people choose to hide in their cottages.

Since they had nothing to do, they would access the world channel to chat or observe the situation.

Secondly, more than seven hours had passed.

Everyone was in a troublesome situation. 

They were hungry and it was difficult to endure.

Liao Fan would have been in the same boat if he did not have his special ability.

Three pieces of bread and three bottles of water were not enough even for a day’s rations.

Those who had eaten their food started to get hungry again.

Meanwhile, those who did not were about to go insane.

“Ten stones for a liter of water. Would anyone like to trade with me?”

“The person above is a fool. Just ten stones? If anyone has a liter of water, I am willing to trade all my resources. I’ll even give you my villagers!”

“Stones are the most useless resources. It can only be used to make pointless stone axes. Wood and coal can at least be used to make torches.”

“My friend went out to explore just now. He had been gone for more than half an hour now. Everyone, please pray for him!”

“Sigh, he probably won’t be returning.”

“I’m so hungry and thirsty. My body is getting weaker and weaker. I’ll probably die of thirst…”

…

Liao Fan’s brows furrowed as he read these messages.

‘What the hell? None of these conversations had any important clues.’

Smart people were definitely the minority. 

Even if they found something substantial, they would not simply release the information.

They would keep the information to themselves and use it for their own benefit.

Only fools would whine on the world channel.

People like Meng Fei should have already grasped the basics that were needed to go for an exploration. 

Those who were smart should be watching from the other side.

They were also unwilling to use their daily speakers.

Liao Fan wanted to confirm something.

He accessed the trading panel.

There were all kinds of things for trade.

[ Seller: Chen Ye (Male) ]

[ Trade Item: Coal mine *10 ]

[ Requirement: 1 liter of water ]

…

[ Seller: Liu Cheng (Male) ]

[ Trade Item: Stone axe *3 ]

[ Requirement: Bread *2]

…

There were many similar trades, but no one seemed to be taking up the offers.

After all, food was scarce.

However, it was different for Liao Fan.

He could go fishing in the stream.

By enhancing the raw materials, he could make the dishes more potent and fulfilling.

What he needed now was the materials to make torches!

Without the torches, there was no way for him to go out.

So, Liao Fan divided a liter of water into five portions.

Each portion was two hundred milliliters.

It was not much, but it was enough for those who were about to die from thirst.

In total, Liao Fan had thirty-seven liters of water.

An adult would need to drink two liters of water a day.

This meant he had enough water to last for fifteen days.

Even with the addition of the two villagers, it would be enough for him to live for five days.

However, sooner or later, the water in the treasure chest would definitely get contaminated.

This was why Liao Fan decided to trade the excess water.

[ Seller: Liao Fan (Male) ]

[ Trade item: 200 milliliters of water ]

[ Requirement: Coal *10 ]

He did not include the bottles.

After all, they were essential resources. 

The bottles were needed to store water.

‘How they are going to carry the water is none of my business.’

Once the trade was posted, chaos happened.

“Water! Someone is actually trading water! 200 milliliters of water for ten units of coal! Oh my God!!!”

“I can’t believe this. I’ve already used up all my coals. Brother Liao Fan, I’m begging you. Can you please spare some water for me?”

“Did he really put water on the trading platform?!!! Is he crazy?”

“You’re the one who’s crazy! Stop spouting nonsense. I’m going to trade with him!”

“Who is he?”

“He must be a strong and handsome guy. Brother Liao Fan, if you give me some water, I’ll let you do anything to me.”

“Ugh, get lost!!!”

…

The world channel was flooded with messages.

Meanwhile, Liao Fan was bewildered. 

He just realized something. 

Smart people probably figured out that he had explored the outside world.

This was because they were only provided with three bottles of water.

A person should only have six hundred milliliters of water.

Since Liao Fan was trading up to a liter of water, it meant that he had found a water source!

He even managed to return to the thatched cottage safely.
