Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start
Chapter 24 - The Most Conscientious Merchant
Chapter 24 The Most Conscientious Merchant
It had to be said that Meng Lei was really rich
now.
After upgrading the storage chest twice in a row, he had spent more than 40 units of various resources without even blinking.
For other players at this stage, this was simply unimaginable.
Currently, most people had not even built a freshwater extractor. How could they be willing to spend a large amount of resources to upgrade storage chests that could not be filled at all?
Moreover, Meng Lei had upgraded twice in a
row.
He directly increased the capacity of the storage chest to 100 units!
If converted to the upper limit for stacking, it could hold 1,000 units of resources!
It was estimated that most players would not even have the chance to fill a hundred-slot storage chest before arriving at the gathering place of the first outpost.
However, to Meng Lei, this upgrade was quite necessary.
The fishing efficiency of the gravity ball had been verified. Just from casting one net, hundreds of units of resources were earned.
At the very least, the exchange rate would not change much for the next day.
Therefore, upgrading to a medium-sized storage chest of 100 slots at this stage was definitely not a waste for a trading big shot like Meng Lei.
Meng Lei smiled as he looked at the submarine’s storage chest that had changed again.
Thereafter, he was not in a hurry to put up the remaining fish on the market. Instead, he carried the gravity ball and got out of the submarine again.
The time during the exploration period was incomparably precious. Meng Lei would definitely not waste a single minute and second.
While he continued to trade, he also wanted the gravity ball to continue to exert its effect so that he could maximize the benefits.
Soon, the gravity trap was set up near the same spot.
Meng Lei returned to the submarine and opened the trading market.
As he had just upgraded the storage chest, he
had used up some of the iron and copper.
He planned to exchange two-thirds of the remaining fish meat for carbon.
The other one-third, he would still allow the players to trade freely with multiple options.
However, when Meng Lei opened the trading market.
He suddenly realized that some of the fish meat that he had just sold had been put up again. He did not know if it was new goods that other players had put into the market.
In any case, the other party’s requirement for the trade was clearly higher than his previous price!
[Seller: Mystery]
[Trade Item: Big-Eyed Fish*1]
[Requirements: Iron*5]
[Alternative Requirements: Titanium*5,
Aluminum*5, Copper*5, Plastic*5,

Meng Lei was stunned and immediately
frowned.
“Damn, what the f*ck is going on?! There are
speculators messing up the market?!”
Meng Lei faintly felt that something was
wrong.
He immediately opened the regional communication channel and realized that it
was already filled with curses.

[Lonely Hero: Damn you! Everyone is in a
precarious situation now, but you’re still earning from the price difference. Are you shameless?!]
[Watchman: Damn, the big guy from Bottomless Valley has just sold it for three
units of resources, and you are reselling it at double the price! You’re not human!]
[T-Rex: Mystery, just you wait. Don’t let me see you in the gathering place! Otherwise, I’ll make you understand the consequences of being a profiteer!]
[Royal 22: Crowdfunding for Old but Undying’s coordinates, forming a team to beat up profiteers!]
…
A series of angry words flooded the communication channel.
A large number of players were berating
Mystery and the other seller for their bad behavior.
The entire Channel 66671 was filled with the stench of gunpowder.
Meng Lei scrolled through the chat page with
an ugly expression.
Although he could not be sure if these fish were the ones he had sold previously. However, it was obvious that speculators had
already appeared and were starting to seek benefits through the trading market. This phenomenon is indeed inevitable in the
absence of any rules. Meng Lei could do nothing about this.
In addition, even though the other party
increased the selling price, these fish were quickly snapped up in no time.
As it turned out, although the behavior of these speculators was despicable, there were still people who were willing to be suckers.
For those who were extremely hungry, it was not a problem to pay any price for a mouthful of food!
“Looks like I have to limit the number of transactions.”
“If there are black-hearted merchants who maliciously hoard food and then sell it at a
high price, it will easily impact the market. It will be very disadvantageous to my subsequent transactions!” Meng Lei pondered for a moment. When he
put the fish on the rack, he added another restriction.
[Seller: Bottomless Valley]
[Trading Item: Bubble Fish*1] [Requirements: Carbon*3] [Alternative Requirements: Titanium*3,
Aluminum*3, Copper*3, Plastic*3, Iron*3]
[Trade Restriction: Each player is limited to
one trade within six hours]
…
[Seller: Bottomless Valley]
[Trade Item: Dart Fish*1] [Requirements: Carbon*3] [Trade Restriction: Each player is limited to
one trade within six hours]
…
Such an approach, although it would not
fundamentally prevent speculators from raising prices maliciously,
at least to a certain extent, this phenomenon
could be limited.
If someone wanted to buy the goods he sold
and resell them, at least, it would be impossible for them to do so in a short period of time.
In addition, Meng Lei had another consideration.
He wanted to use this incident to improve his
reputation in Channel 66671.
After all, what he wanted to do was not a one-time deal.
For a long time to come, he would continue to
throw out large amounts of food resources. If he was like a black-hearted businessman, while he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to sell his items,
when he arrived at the gathering place in the
future, trouble would probably keep coming to his door.
The key was that as long as he had the gravity
ball, he would have an endless stream of
resources.
Instead of being cursed and hated by everyone, it was better to earn less and seek

long-term stable sustainable development. Meng Lei believed that his current actions
would definitely bring him repayment in the future!
At this moment, Meng Lei’s thirty-odd fish were placed neatly on the rack again. In the communication channel that was filled with curses, the atmosphere suddenly changed, causing another huge commotion!
[Calm Heart: Damn! The big shot of Bottomless Valley is out again! This time, he had put up more than 30 fish at once! Friends who are in need, hurry up and wipe out the goods. Don’t let the profiteer snatch them away again!]
[Intelligence: Conscientious merchant! Conscientious merchant! Even in the face of the unscrupulous merchant’s malicious price hike, you still haven’t forgotten your original intention! I’m willing to call you the most conscientious merchant in the sea abyss!] [Evil Dragon: In a harsh market environment, you are not moved by interests, sticking firmly to your principles! Bottomless Valley, you’re awesome!]
