Chapter 6
Massive Acquisitions, the Market Gone Mad
First, I need to eat them. I definitely can't eat that many fish by myself. The best way right now is to exchange these fish for usable resources. That way, I can convert all the fish meat into strength!
Make him stronger.
"By the way, you can use fish meat to exchange for materials to upgrade your ship at the trading post."
"In this way, the Fisherman will become stronger, and... the space problem will also be solved."
Ye Fan slapped his forehead and immediately thought of a great solution: upgrade the ship. As long as he could upgrade the ship, all his current problems would be solved.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan immediately brought up the upgrade conditions for the Fisherman.
【升级条件:木块0/200,铁块0/100,玻璃0/20】
......
After a quick glance, Ye Fan had a rough idea of the amount of materials he needed to exchange. It seemed that the amount of materials required was not small, but he was confident that the market price of fish and meat would be very good today!
Most people will be excited when they see a large volume of fish and meat being traded here, which will definitely cause a market uproar. I should be able to collect all the materials before tonight without too much trouble.
So Ye Fan carried Xiaobai to the captain's cabin. The interior of the captain's cabin was decorated in a rather simple manner, with walls made of wood and only one glass window around the perimeter. Fortunately, there was a wooden bed in the room.
In this world that is all ocean, having a place to lie down is already a dream for countless people.
Ye Fan is now well-fed and not worried. In fact, his main purpose in coming to the trading house was to solve the problem of too many fish and meat on the ship. If he told other survivors this, he would probably be killed.
"Open the trading platform and see what the current market conditions are."
With a thought, Ye Fan immediately saw the [Trading Hall] option pop up in front of him.
As soon as he entered, a deluge of information popped up, almost overwhelming Ye Fan. Even though he had anticipated this, he was still stunned by the transaction information on the trading platform.
[Seller: Bai Xiaofan] For Sale: A beginner fishing rod. Need: One sea fish. I have absolutely no fishing skills, so I'd rather trade the rod for some food.
[Seller: Xunfeng] For Sale: An iron pot. Need: Food, any food is fine; I'm starving.
[Seller: Lin Huayue] For Sale: Used underwear. Needs: Plenty of food and water. Handsome guys, I sell underwear regularly.
.....
Ye Fan glanced at the information on the trading platform and was immediately surprised, because he found that the demand for food was far greater than that for water, a situation that was somewhat unexpected.
After some investigation, I learned that wooden barrels randomly spawn on the sea surface, and these barrels randomly contain purified water and some daily necessities.
However, it's difficult to find food. The reason is simple: there are many fish in the sea. If there is the aroma of food, it will attract fish to eat it. This is why someone in the channel opened a barrel and found a porcupinefish.
Currently, the most reliable way to obtain food is by fishing.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to go fishing.
"Looking at it this way, my fish meat still has a good market."
"We can make a large purchase."
Sitting on the wooden bed, Ye Fan thought about it and realized it made more and more sense. So he immediately chose to put 300 units of fish on the shelf. It seemed like a lot of fish, but in reality, Wang Da and Wang Er could catch them in less than 20 minutes.
This is a conservative estimate; if you're lucky, you could catch even more fish!
It was precisely because of this terrifying fishing efficiency that Ye Fan had to consider where to put the fish meat, otherwise all that fish meat would be wasted.
[Seller: Ye Fan] For Sale: 300 units of ordinary-grade fish meat. Needs: 200 units of wood, 100 units of iron, 20 units of glass.
.....
Ye Fan specifically set the purchase rules to allow one unit of wood, iron, or glass to be exchanged for one unit of fish meat. In this way, the three hundred units of fish meat he put on the market this time could be exchanged for at least 300 units of materials.
His pricing is already very reasonable; he's not overcharging, and it's already below market price.
The reason for setting the price this way is because Ye Fan considered establishing a good reputation so that people would choose to trade with him whenever he puts something up for sale in the future.
Moreover, he is not lacking in ordinary-grade fish meat at all.
The moment Ye Fan successfully listed 300 units of ordinary-grade fish meat on the trading platform, it caused a huge stir. The vast majority of people on the channel saw the information and were filled with shock.
"Look! Someone seems to have listed 300 units of fish meat on the trading platform! Am I dreaming? How did they do that? Didn't we all just arrive in this world two or three hours ago?"
"Three hundred units of fish meat? Is that a mistake? Could it be a scam? I don't believe anyone could catch that many fish in such a short time!"
"It's Boss Ye Fan! He's the one who caught the treasure fish before, have you all forgotten? The difference is just too big! We're still struggling for a bite to eat, while he already has so much surplus to trade!"
"The price is really reasonable! One unit of wood can be exchanged for one unit of fish meat! The price is even lower than the market price, it's such a good deal!"
"Waaaaah, that's great! Our channel 44401 leader is a good person. I saw on the world channel that other channel leaders exploit others after they rise up, but look at Ye Fan... he's still thinking about us."
......
In an instant, the entire regional channel was flooded with messages again, and the name Ye Fan was mentioned the most among them. Ye Fan himself became a celebrity in the channel, and everyone remembered him.
"Ding! Through a successful transaction, your reputation within the channel has increased by 50 points!"
...
Seeing the message that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Fan was immediately delighted. He didn't expect that he would get 50 reputation points just by listing affordable fish meat. It seems that his operation was quite effective!
Immediately afterwards, notifications that the transaction was completed began to pop up in front of him.
[Ding! You lost one unit of fish meat but gained one unit of wood.]
[Ding! You lost one unit of fish meat but gained one unit of wood.]
[Ding! You lost one unit of fish meat but gained one unit of wood.]
