Chapter 24: Channel Chat, Market Trade

Zong Ze’s words were not without reason.

The "Lord Game" involving billions of people.

Indeed, anything was possible.

Even though I have the guide module.

But there are always many fortunate ones in this world.

And quite a few individuals with particularly strong personal abilities.

These people coming to this Endless Continent are truly like dragons returning to the sea.

I absolutely cannot become too arrogant!

Zong Shen secretly encouraged himself with these words.

"I understand, the two of us brothers must work hard, in 180 days, our parents will also come here."

"In these 180 days, we must accumulate enough strength to establish a foothold in this world."

"Let’s not talk for now, I’m going to check out the market!"

"Take care."

As the older brother, Zong Shen couldn’t help but nag a bit more.

"Okay brother, you actually got the market blueprint, there don’t seem to be many who have opened a market yet."

"You also need to take care of yourself, safety first."

Zong Ze could sense the concern in Zong Shen’s words, and after a simple reply, the two ended today’s conversation.

Zong Shen then opened the [World Channel].

"Wang Gang1989716: Damn, once it gets dark, all sorts of beasts start howling outside, and it’s impossible to leave the courtyard!"

"Sanjay Gandhi1982514: Brothers, I encountered a forest wolf this afternoon, one of my farmers got bitten, and now I don’t dare to go out."

"Songphaisan1996213: Sawadee-ka, I’m even worse off, drank a sip of water from the pond near my territory this afternoon and had diarrhea all day long!"

"Oliver1986211: Lord above, grant me some food! The initial supply isn’t enough for four people, and now those three farmers are looking at me with green eyes!"

"Andreas19991212: Fool, you and three farmers are enough for hunting, even if you encounter a beast, using the courtyard as a retreat and setting up a trap or rope can work!"

"Mukuri Tanaka1992724: Yoshi, my luck is big indeed, I discovered an altar near my territory that can transform my farmers into powerful warriors!"

"Ivanovitch Ivanov1994312: Ura! For blood and vodka! Me and three farmers took down a brown bear together, built a stove, and roasted bear meat is really nice, just too bad there’s no vodka!"

"Yuan Jiacheng1984315: I discovered an indigenous village, after talking with the indigenous people, we can use ’money’ to buy food and supplies, and there seem to be other tasks available!"

...

The World Channel remains lively.

Although everyone can only send one message per day.

But the vast base of the Lord Game involving billions of people still dictates the liveliness of this channel.

Most of the lords are barely beginning to adapt to this world, and many have already encountered varying degrees of danger.

However, some lords have already demonstrated substantial growth in strength.

They have obtained initial opportunities.

At least those who are still able to speak on the [World Channel] are still alive.

No one knows how many lords died on the first day after landing.

The dead do not speak.

Zong Shen pondered for a moment, choosing not to say much on the World Channel.

Next, he opened the [Regional Channel].

According to the prompt, it was an area measuring 200 kilometers × 200 kilometers, with a total area of 40,000 square kilometers.

In terms of Earth, it is equivalent to eighty urban areas within the Fifth Ring of Yanjing City.

It’s truly not small.

At the top of the [Regional Channel], a number was displayed.

9273/10000

This is the number of existing lords in the area, compared to the total number of lords who landed here!

The number is cold, and the reality is harsh,

This number indicates that on the first day, the lord’s mortality rate was nearly 8%.

Of course, the death toll in this area alone can’t mean much, as it lacks universal representation.

Perhaps some areas have more deaths, others fewer.

However, it already sufficiently underscores the harshness of surviving in this world.

Death is ever-present and can come at any moment.

The [Regional Channel] is lively as well,

as darkness falls, all beasts roar.

No one dares to risk leaving the protection of the courtyard to explore in the pitch-black night.

Thus, they all opted to chat here in the water channel.

"Jiang Yi19961015: We must unite to get through the difficulties of the beginning phase and face new challenges."

"Li Chen1994822: Makes sense, after a day of gathering wood today, I’ve only built a [Tier One Grass Hut] and a [Tier One Infantry Camp], but training farmers into tier one infantry still requires lots of resources, and even one infantry training manual."

"Lermontov1998319: Friends from Huaxia, the area we’re in seems to be half meadows and half woodland. I’m close to the woodland, and today I found many suspicious footprints not far from my territory, I’m really panicked!"

"Chen Xin1987717: Let’s make an agreement, if we encounter each other, we must not attack..."

"Wang Dajun19901129: I agree!"

...

Zong Shen thought for a moment and edited a message in the [Regional Channel].

"Zong Shen1999514: Do not under any circumstances approach the middle area of the woodland in this region. There is a fierce and powerful Goblin Tribe there."

After sending it, he closed the [Regional Channel], hoping to warn at least one person.

That Goblin Tribe, during the initial phase, means instant death for anyone who encounters it.

A force capable of wounding Wolf Cavalry with a single encounter is no ordinary presence.

"Now, let’s go check out the market."

Zong Shen stood up and left the lord’s hut.

He directly walked outside the courtyard.

Placing the market and other buildings outside the courtyard was indeed a bold decision.

But it also kept the space inside the courtyard from becoming cluttered.

This was Zong Shen’s confidence in his own combat abilities.

The courtyard would serve as the final refuge!

When he stepped outside the courtyard.

All the farmers were huddled in the remaining five grass huts, not one could sleep.

Korby and Fenrir, one man and one wolf, occupied a single grass hut.

Zong Shen and Luna would take turns keeping watch.

Luna would take the first half of the night, and Zong Shen the latter half.

Arriving next to the [Market].

Activate the function.

A large number of listing messages instantly refreshed.

Although market building blueprints are not easily obtained, tens of thousands of lords out of billions have set up markets.

The items listed by these lords were very monotonous.

Mostly food and wood.

Blueprints, weapons, and special materials were basically absent.

Occasionally, Zong Shen would find one or two valuable items, but their listed prices were astronomical.

For example, a [Fine Forged Iron Armor Blueprint] required 500 units of wood or 50 Basic Elemental Crystals.

Simply laughable.

Or a skill book for [Basic Swordsmanship] also priced at vast resources.

In the short term, no one could afford them.

However, as long as the [Market] function was well-utilized, it could fully allow for profit-making to ease the tension of resources.

Zong Shen withdrew his gaze and began to think about what he could sell.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked towards the courtyard.
