“How troublesome.” The female streamer silently frowned. She decided to raise her requirement. Among this group of people, only Lu Ming could probably afford the supplies. As for the others, she could just filter them out.

“I’m not the kind of person who’s easily fooled. For such a rare resource, you have to offer me at least five liters of water before I agree to trade.”

“You’re crazy! Why don’t you go rob five liters of water yourself?”

“That’s right. We’re already being generous by offering you half a jar of water. Don’t get confused about your position!”

“Five liters of water?”

Lu Ming frowned subconsciously when he saw the female streamer’s brazen words.

The amplification he had obtained from the box earlier was only three pounds of water, after all.

This person’s demands were too high, asking for five liters of water all at once.

Although he did have plenty of soda, he couldn’t just exchange it with her. And her tone sounded a little suspicious.

Lu Ming furrowed his brow unconsciously, feeling that this person looked familiar… Could it be her?

“Hey, don’t you think this person is the female streamer who deliberately slandered Lu Ming?”

“Bro, now that you mention it, I also feel like it’s quite similar.”

“It’s not just a feeling. It’s exactly the same!”

Lu Ming looked at the chat history in the group and scratched his head in frustration.

It wasn’t that he cared much about the argument from yesterday, but he really couldn’t produce five liters of water in a short period of time.

Furthermore, if he managed to get the five liters of water and gave it to the female streamer, but then he encountered another problem and couldn’t provide the water, the situation would be much worse than it seemed.

This female streamer was definitely saying this on purpose to trap him.

Anyway, there were plenty of resource boxes in this survival game. He would endure for now and see if anyone else had a similar resource box.

If there was, he might as well exchange it with someone else.

“Yes! That’s the plan!” he thought.

Lu Ming nodded, trying to reassure himself.

For now, there was no need to rush.

Besides, there were plenty of people willing to trade resources with him. He didn’t need to exchange his resources with the female streamer.

He had the advantage!

Lu Ming closed the chat window without hesitation and focused on searching for more resources.

A few hours later.

That was strange.

The female streamer bit her nails and anxiously looked at the empty chat interface.

To be honest, she had waited for many other people’s transaction applications here. However, she could not wait for Lu Ming’s transaction application for some reason.

However, his needs were still on the front page of the chat square. There was no reason for him not to look for her.

Why was there no movement from Lu Ming?

The more female streamer thought about it, the more anxious she became.

Suddenly, a bad thought flashed through her mind.

“Could it be that Lu Ming has already figured out my true identity?”

After a short silence, the female streamer looked at the scene in the chat square and gritted her teeth.

“Forget it, who cares what would happen in the end!” she thought.

Originally, she had planned to continue waiting for Lu Ming to request the shark skin, but this method probably wouldn’t work.

Anyway, she had asked the people around him, and almost none of them had a rare resource like shark skin.

There was no point in being so cautious anymore, so she went to confront Lu Ming directly!

Anyway, if Lu Ming wanted this material, he could only ask her for it humbly. What was she to be afraid of?

“Lu Ming, I’m laying it all out!”

The female streamer could not be bothered to pretend anymore. She directly removed her anonymous status and announced it to everyone through the announcement system of the chat square.

“I have the resources you need here. Are you planning to use five liters of water to exchange with me, or will you never be able to obtain this shark skin?”

At this moment, the female streamer laughed coldly.

“To be honest, you don’t have many opportunities to choose from now. You’d better make a decision quickly. Otherwise, when I decide to trade it, you’ll never see this shark skin again!”

Finally, this woman couldn’t hold back and exposed herself.

Lu Ming couldn’t help but laugh at the woman’s arrogance.

To be honest, he had been wondering a few hours ago when this woman would send him a blackmail message for the shark skin.

He did not expect that she would lose her composure so quickly and reveal her true intentions.

As soon as the female streamer spoke, everyone who was about to speak fell silent. They watched quietly as the female streamer blackmailed Lu Ming.

Although this female streamer wanted a lot of resources, to be honest, it wasn’t too much.

After all, shark skin itself was a rare resource. Furthermore, Lu Ming was a resource tycoon, and no one could say for sure how many resources he possessed.

Moreover, he might have five liters of water to trade with this female streamer.

On second thought, the female streamer did seem to be a little bullying, but to be honest, it was not their resources that were missing, and it had nothing to do with them.

Watching from the side was also a great choice.

“Tsk.”

Looking at the announcement, Lu Ming frowned subconsciously.

This woman was really good at robbing.

Moreover, it seemed that she would not stop until she achieved her goal. It looked like this time he would have to pay a heavy price.

At the thought of this, Lu Ming suddenly felt a little pained. However, after thinking about it carefully, he didn’t seem to have any other choice.

D*mn it!

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and looked at the female streamer’s transaction application.

To be honest, although he couldn’t afford five liters of water, it wasn’t completely impossible if he counted the salt soda he had.

However, if he counted the salt soda, he would probably have to enter a water shortage.

At the thought of this, Lu Ming suddenly felt troubled.

He did not want to live a life without water.

What should he do now?

However, just as Lu Ming was feeling troubled.

An eye-catching private message appeared in front of Lu Ming.

“Lu Ming, do you still need shark skin?”

The person who had once traded gasoline with Lu Ming took the initiative to send Lu Ming a message.

Upon seeing the message, Lu Ming felt like he had been saved. His eyes brightened and he quickly replied, “Yes, of course, I need it! Do you have shark skin?”

“Yes.” The person nodded decisively and sent Lu Ming a photo of shark skin.

The shark skin in the photo was very delicate. Just by looking at it, it was much better than the one in the female streamer’s hand.

“That’s great. I need this kind of thing. But do you need anything in return? If you need anything, I can…”

However, before Lu Ming could finish his sentence, the other party’s transaction application appeared in front of him. To his surprise, the application did not have any conditions listed.

“Since you need it, I’ll give it to you.”
