Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 14

The meaning behind Chen Anjiang’s words was clear to everyone: he did not want to hand over the water resources.

Lei Wei was somewhat displeased but managed to restrain his tone as he said, “Chen Anjiang, I remember you were the manager of the HR department at our Lei Group. You’ve followed me for so many years; don’t you trust my character?”

Chen Anjiang seemed unwilling to hide his feelings any longer and said directly, “President Lei, you said the same thing when you asked us to hand over our food, talking about sharing resources equally. But when we asked you to list the details of the materials handed over, you were reluctant.”

“To be honest, President Lei, we’ve secretly done some calculations. After distributing food to the others, you still have at least dozens of units of food resources in your hands. Why not use these to exchange for water to help everyone get through this tough time?”

With these words, Chen Anjiang essentially exposed Lei Wei’s true situation.

Lei Wei, known for his bad temper, seeing Chen Anjiang being so disrespectful, angrily said, “Chen Anjiang, you heartless wretch, what nonsense are you spouting!? If you’re unwilling to hand over resources, then get out of our group chat. Don’t spout nonsense here, and from now on, Lei Group will no longer welcome you!”

The atmosphere in the group chat became extremely oppressive.

Before this, Lei Wei’s threats had always been very effective. Others in the group chat were angry but dared not speak out, as no one wanted to be isolated in this strange world.

But now, the situation had changed.

Moments later, a message notification appeared.

[Chen Anjiang has left the group chat…]

Not only that, Chen Anjiang’s departure seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

Wang Peng, Liu Feirui, Zhang Yamin…

One by one, familiar names left the group chat.

Lei Wei’s face turned livid, almost dripping water, and the group chat fell silent, with no one daring to speak.

The same scenario played out in many teams, large and small.

At such a critical moment concerning life and death, who cared about being a boss or a manager?

The world is vast, but one’s own life is paramount.

The teams that these people had formed seemed fragile in the face of crisis.

Even in the local channels, multiple quarrels broke out, and the situation was chaotic.

…

Han Xing watched their arguments with amusement.

Just then, in the group chat, Cheng Jianyong suddenly sent a message.

“Guys, we need to conserve water. I see some people in the local channels almost fighting over a bit of water.”

“I still have 800ml of water here. If either of you is short of water, just let me know. Let’s hold on and get through this tough time.”

Shen Yun then said, “I also have about five or six hundred milliliters left; getting through today won’t be a problem. What about you, Brother Xing?”

Han Xing replied, “I also have a few hundred milliliters left; don’t worry about me, you guys conserve your water.”

The two solemnly agreed and encouraged each other.

Then, Han Xing PMed Shen Yun and traded him the newly acquired skill book.

[Holy Light Healing], as the only healing skill for Clerics in the early stages, could be a lifesaver at critical moments.

Shen Yun naturally knew the value of this skill book and sincerely thanked him.

Han Xing then closed the chat panel.

He saw the badge attributes he had just traded for.

[Warrior’s Badge: A badge issued by a tribe for its warriors, wearing it increases the Strength attribute by +1]

“Is there also an attribute bonus effect?”

Han Xing was somewhat surprised, as he had thought it was just an ordinary crafting material, but it turned out to have an unexpected bonus.

At this moment, the materials for crafting the green Beast Skin Coat were ready, and Han Xing immediately clicked to craft.

A green light flashed before his eyes, and a 30s progress bar appeared.

When the progress bar ended, a system prompt appeared.

[Successfully crafted Beast Skin Coat (Green)]

[Beast Skin Coat (Green), Quality – Excellent, Defense 3~5, Strength +1 (Granted by Warrior’s Badge), Dexterity +2, Additional Special Effect – Basic Magic Resistance.]

[Basic Magic Resistance: When receiving magic damage, reduces the damage by 10%.]

“Nice attributes!” Han Xing sincerely admired.

He immediately equipped it.

The next moment, Han Xing suddenly felt a cold leather coat on his body.

This coat was made from the skin of a Forest Green Python, so its appearance was also covered with green scales.

At the chest area, there was also a leather badge sewn together, featuring the image of an ancient tree.

Although the appearance was somewhat eerie, wearing it made Han Xing feel a sense of security.

With the gear equipped, Han Xing decided to continue exploring.

In front of him, there were two clouds, one large and one small.

The large one was the size of a helipad, roughly estimated to be at least 30 m², even exceeding the size of Han Xing’s territory.

The small one was only about 5 or 6 m².

Han Xing set his sights on that small cloud.

However, as he passed near the large cloud, he seemed to hear the sound of flowing water.

“There’s water?”

Han Xing immediately stopped and listened intently.

Gurgling…

“It really is water!”

Han Xing was sure he hadn’t misheard. The sound coming from inside the cloud indicated that there might be a significant amount of fresh water inside!

He tried to approach, and a system prompt appeared.

[Inside there is a group of fallen beings, they seem to be conducting some kind of evil ritual, trying to summon a certain ancient being… Do you wish to enter?]

Fallen beings? A summoning ritual?

Han Xing sensed something unusual from the system’s prompt.

In other words, there might be unexpected risks inside.

However, although Han Xing felt danger in this cloud of mist, it wasn’t as intense as he had imagined.

At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

Undoubtedly, the most scarce resource for the nearly ten thousand survivors on channel 107 right now was water, including Han Xing himself, even if there’s still food it is less important compared to water right now.

On the Trading Channel, water was pushed to an exorbitant price, and various equipment and blueprints were put up for sale.

Whoever had water almost held the deciding power in the entire trading scene.

After pondering for a moment, Han Xing finally clenched his teeth and said, “Let’s do it!”

“If I can take down this place, I won’t have to worry about drinking water for a while!”

“Moreover, if there are enough resources, I could even go to the Trading Channel and buy up various materials and equipment in bulk, laying the foundation for my future development!”

Thinking this, Han Xing took a deep breath and directly clicked to enter.

The mist dissipated, and several humanoid figures appeared inside.

Long ears, slender limbs, and that dark skin, these features allowed Han Xing to recognize them instantly.

“Dark Elves!”

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the strongest race in this world was the elves. Supported by a sacred relic of their race, they gathered countless fragments of this world and created a vast continent.

Countless elves lived and thrived on that continent, and a great civilization gradually rose.

But this prosperous scene did not last long. Later, due to some reasons and several significant historical events, the elves’ sacred relic was lost, and countless elves died in the terrible fires of war.

Until that important historical turning point, the elven continent was destroyed by war and collapsed directly.

To survive, some elves chose to sacrifice themselves to the abyss, and thus the fallen elves, also known as Dark Elves, were born.

…

This background story was also something Han Xing heard from an NPC when playing “Sky Island Paradise,” and its authenticity is yet to be verified.

At this moment, Han Xing refocused his attention on the battle before him.

The Dark Elves are a group of evil, extremist creatures, harboring intense hatred for everything in the world.

So, the moment they saw Han Xing, this group of Dark Elves immediately picked up various weapons, including staffs, bows, hammers, long swords…

“It’s a human!”

“Don’t let him disturb the summoning of our lord.”

“Kill him!”
