"Saying you'd help... I'm sorry, I don't believe you at all."
"..."
Seino Makoto countered with:
"Deepwater Hinako is coming soon. Surely some players haven't been able to collect enough evacuation supplies?"
"So..."
Makoto Kiyono explained his idea:
"We can hold the bridgehead and sell supplies to players who are short of resources, helping them survive."
The girls: "..."
They're talking nicely, but they clearly just want to block the bridge!
"...Kiyono-kun's idea is very interesting."
Rio Futaba's eyes lit up, and she pushed up her glasses:
"If we evacuate directly, the supplies can only be exchanged for a few thousand points, with no premium. But if we sell them to other players, those players will definitely be willing to exchange items worth several times their value for these supplies in order to survive."
Eriri muttered under her breath:
"It feels like we've gone from dragon slayers to dragons ourselves..."
"What evil dragon?"
He is clearly a good person.
Seino Makoto looked back with righteous indignation:
"We gave other players a chance to survive."
Yinglili: "..."
"Junior's idea is bold, but it somehow feels feasible." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly in agreement, her lips pursed slightly. "To lower people's guard, publicity is very important... Nishimiya-kun, may I borrow your sketchbook?"
"Uh-huh."
Nishimiya Shoko nodded quickly.
Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and took the sketchbook, then unfolded it:
"Leave the promotion of the transaction to me."
“Write down the rules for fair trade, then post the paper in a prominent place around the bridge. Under the pressure from Deepwater Hinako, someone will naturally lose their temper. Once someone takes the lead, the subsequent trades will naturally follow.”
“Kiyono-kun.” Rio Futaba looked up at her, opened her backpack, and took out a red candle. “This is a special item that we found in the cabin. It can be exchanged for 300 points. After lighting it, it can dispel the surrounding fog for a short time.”
“Fog can obscure vision. Using candles to disperse the fog allows others to see the entire process of the transaction and withdrawal, thus reassuring them.”
Without hesitation, Kiyono Makoto decisively said:
"Light the candle."
You have to give up something to gain something; Kiyono Makoto certainly understands this principle very well.
"Mmm." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)
Rio Futaba pursed her pink lips and quickly lit the candle.
As the candlelight flickered, the surrounding mist seemed to meet the sunlight and snow, quickly dissipating and receding, soon becoming clear within a radius of hundreds of meters around the candle.
"...Now all we have to do is wait patiently."
Preparations were completed quickly.
The girls breathed a sigh of relief and began to wait patiently.
Previously, they were the ones blocking the bridge, but now they've suddenly gone from dragon slayers to dragons themselves... It feels quite strange.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
No players made any trades, but Kiyono Makoto could feel that he was being secretly watched from time to time.
At that moment, the park's cold announcement rang out again:
[Deepwater Hinako has achieved godlike status, player Inujiro has been killed...]
Kiyono Makoto opened the virtual map provided by the park and saw that a skull icon had reappeared on the street not far from the bridge, indicating that Hinako Fukami had approached the bridge.
At this moment, a man covered in blood and limping finally appeared, walking over with a wary expression:
"...I'll make the deal."
Although Kiyono Makoto and his group all looked very young, the middle-aged man showed no signs of letting his guard down.
Age is meaningless in this paradise; strength is everything.
This group has surplus resources to trade, dares to openly block bridges, and can even use items to dispel fog over a large area; they are undoubtedly true veteran players.
"Hello." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up at her. "How many points worth of supplies do you need?"
The middle-aged man was silent for two seconds, wanting to say that he had already collected all the supplies and could leave, but he knew he couldn't get through without buying anything, so he whispered:
"...We only need 300 more supplies to evacuate."
Rio Futaba remained calm, opened her backpack, took out a special item worth 300 points, and handed it over.
“Erling? I·Eryishanlinba II to you.”
The man gritted his teeth:
"What...do you want?"
Kiyono Makoto calmly said:
"Equipment, props, rare items... anything of value can be used to exchange for supplies."
Points cannot be traded within the instance; otherwise, exchanging them directly for points would be the most convenient option.
"……I see."
The middle-aged man quickly took out a jade pendant:
"This is an item I bought with 1,500 points. When activated, it provides a temporary shield that absorbs damage."
Seino Makoto nodded:
"make a deal."
Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.
Shuangye accepted the jade pendant and handed the special supplies to the middle-aged man.
Kiyono Makoto stepped aside to clear the bridge, reminding him:
"That whirlpool is the evacuation point. This gentleman can go there to evacuate."
"……Thanks."
The man thanked them verbally, but his body tensed up, and he limped nervously toward the evacuation vortex.
Fortunately, Kiyono Makoto and the others did not make any moves as they walked up to the vortex.
Stepping into the vortex, the middle-aged man received an evacuation notice from the amusement park and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned and looked gratefully at Kiyono Makoto and the others:
"...Thank you."
This expression of gratitude is filled with sincerity and appreciation.
Before he could finish speaking...
The middle-aged man's figure suddenly disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, an announcement from the park played:
Player Sato has successfully evacuated.
"They actually thanked us..." Eriri put her hands on her hips, her expression somewhat strange. "It feels so weird."
"Objectively speaking, they should indeed thank us." Kiyono Makoto said matter-of-factly, "If it weren't for us dealing with the evil players blocking the bridge, countless people wouldn't have been able to evacuate."
the other side.
Seeing that the first person to try something new had successfully escaped, the players hiding in the shadows around them immediately became restless.
A short while later, another woman, looking disheveled, came out, her voice tense:
"I also want to exchange for evacuation supplies."
"no problem."
The deal was quickly finalized.
The announcement of the second player's withdrawal rang out again, and the foundation of trust was completely established.
The other players finally lowered their guard and quietly appeared one by one; there were quite a few of them, a total of five or six.
As evacuation supplies were traded out, weapons, armor, and rare items were acquired one after another. If these items were purchased in the mall, they would cost at least three times the points. In short, it was a huge profit.
"Kiyono-kun, Hinako Fukami is almost here." Kato Megumi, who had been watching the map, reminded her softly, "It's about time to evacuate."
"Let's wait a little longer, maybe someone else will come." Eriri was already immersed in the pleasure of having a monopoly. "The evacuation point is right behind us, we can leave whenever we want, unless Hinako Deepwater can teleport..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nishimiya Shoko suddenly opened her beautiful eyes wide and quickly grabbed Kiyono Makoto's fingers.
"...behind, behind you!"
Chapter 65 Tremble, Deep-Sea Hina!
"what happened?"
Kiyono Makoto subconsciously turned his head and saw that in the middle of the bridge behind him, it looked as if a stone had been thrown into the water, creating visible ripples.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Space is fluctuating."
"Could it be... no, that's impossible?"
Seeing the unusual situation behind them, a sense of foreboding welled up in everyone's hearts.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure dressed in a dark blue sailor uniform materialized out of thin air and walked out of nowhere.
