Chapter 218 Unstable Factors in the War Zone, Ye Feng Gets Accused of Being Blamed
Ye Feng quickly remembered this person. When Ye Feng was collecting barracks fragments, this unscrupulous merchant took advantage of the first beast tide invasion and everyone's fear of the unknown to raise prices and sell recovery magic scrolls in exchange for various barracks fragments.

However, he was unlucky and happened to run into Ye Feng about to use the magic scroll.

Not only did they bring down his high price, but they also earned him a reputation as a shrewd businessman in the eyes of the public.

Later, in the War Zone Challenge, Ye Feng encountered him in the first round.

They eliminated him in the first round.

Unexpectedly, this unscrupulous merchant also made it to the Crimson Land and was not among those who were wiped out.

Zhao Jinqian's bringing up this matter was undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to provoke trouble.

"Damn it, even before Ye Feng collected the [Golden Shovel] and [Golden Pot], he still got way more loot every day than everyone else. That means we don't need these things, and Ye Feng is definitely more powerful than everyone else!"

"That's right. Collecting these things is just icing on the cake for Boss Ye Feng. But back then, Boss Ye Feng wouldn't let everyone trade food. Many people would probably have starved to death in the base while clutching their [Golden Shovels]!"

"If you're talking about the future and then discussing the past, and you lose money in business, are you going to blame the other party?"

"It's a matter of mutual consent, so how can some people have such dark thoughts!"

Of course, not everyone was fooled by Zhao Jinqian's words; many survivors stood up to defend Ye Feng.

Seeing a group of people defending Ye Feng, Zhao Jinqian felt even more displeased!
He had accumulated a lot of magic scrolls, just waiting for the next big takeoff.

As a result, Ye Feng intercepted them, and instead of getting rich, they also earned a bad reputation!
And he finally managed to sell off all the scrolls at a low price, thus collecting enough Barracks fragments for a three-star Darius.

However, the survival game indicated that the limit had been reached and it was impossible to synthesize a three-star Darius!

And the source of all this is that Ye Feng synthesized a four-star Darius!
Whenever he thought of this, he felt a deep resentment towards Ye Feng. All his good plans had been ruined by Ye Feng!

However, he was quite lucky and eventually made it to the Crimson Lands. By chance, he even unlocked the Magic Scroll Crafting Shop and obtained a unique magic scroll design.

Thanks to the unique effects of this magic scroll, he slowly profited from the difference in transaction fees, gradually increasing his combat strength.

Among the remaining survivors, Zhao Jinqian's strength can be considered mid-range.

But the more this happened, the deeper his resentment towards Ye Feng grew.

He kept thinking that if Ye Feng hadn't ruined his plans back then, he might be one of the strongest survivors today.

Furthermore, Ye Feng's current actions have essentially cut off his path to wealth.

If everyone can exchange various magic scrolls at zero price difference, how will I obtain additional resources?

Therefore, for Zhao Jinqian, regardless of whether Ye Feng was genuinely kind or not, he had to portray Ye Feng's actions as having ulterior motives!
However, while most people envied Ye Feng's opportunities, they did not feel jealous or resentful towards him.

After all, if it were them, in this unfamiliar survival game, even if they had plenty of food, they would still have to plan for the future.

They knew they couldn't bring themselves to trade food for what seemed like a useless "golden shovel" at the time!

After all, their own fate was uncertain, so how could they have the mind to care about others?

Therefore, they weren't jealous of Ye Feng's huge profits, because it was what Ye Feng deserved! Furthermore, Ye Feng's zero-markup exchange of magic scrolls for everyone meant they were the ones who benefited, and they didn't lose anything at all!
So unless someone has a screw loose, who would follow Zhao Jinqian to attack Ye Feng?

At this moment, another survivor stepped forward and proposed a hypothesis.

"Everyone's magical essence is obtained by exchanging crystals. Is it possible that monster crystals have another great use, but we haven't discovered it yet, just like the golden shovel back then!"

This person's seemingly reasonable speculation was actually an attempt to steer public opinion in a direction unfavorable to Ye Feng!
The survivor's name is Zhang Tao, and he was the second survivor to enter the Crimson Land.

After successfully acquiring the magic scroll manufacturing workshop, he initially planned to engage in a price war with Ye Feng to earn more profits.

However, when Ye Feng stated that he would no longer exchange magic scrolls for others, he was overjoyed and took the opportunity to raise prices and monopolize the market, making a fortune!
Even as more survivors unlocked the Magic Scroll Crafting Shop later on, he still managed to maintain a certain market share thanks to his two special magic scrolls!

Ye Feng's actions disrupted the existing order and blocked their way of making money, so naturally they had to do everything they could to smear him!

Zhao Jinqian and Zhang Tao were not the only ones who held this view.

Other survivors who could make easy money by working at the magic scroll crafting shop also began to slander Ye Feng.

For them, being able to lie on top of other survivors and make a living by crafting magic scrolls is an incredibly pleasant life.

Asking them to relinquish this portion of their profits is tantamount to asking them to cut off a piece of their own flesh!

The pure, white Magic Essence reward is given to all the survivors?
This is simply a crime!

Then someone brought up another matter.

"Don't forget, everyone. Ye Feng said before that he would no longer exchange magic scrolls for everyone. But now he's suddenly being so generous, offering to exchange magic scrolls for everyone with zero handling fees. It doesn't make sense at all! Maybe there really is some trap waiting for you!"

People keep finding various angles to slander Ye Feng.

Although the vast majority of survivors still believed in Ye Feng, the power of rumors and the influence of public opinion made some survivors hesitate.

Some people even began to wonder if the monster's crystals had any other uses besides exchanging for magical essence!

"We're about to head to the secret realm. Ye Feng's sudden kindness might mean the crystal stone will be very useful there!"

Another guess has emerged, and the moment it appeared, many survivors were taken aback.

That's certainly very possible; the crystal might have another great use in the secret realm!

That's why Ye Feng suddenly came to collect the crystal stones in everyone's hands!
Finally, some onlookers who were unaware of the situation asked Ye Feng their questions.

"Brother Ye Feng, so are crystal stones really useful in the secret realm? If you have any information, don't keep it to yourself!"

Upon seeing the survivor's question, Ye Feng's face turned cold.

Okay, okay, he tried to help everyone out of kindness, but ended up being blamed instead.
