Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 19

Looking at the abundant water resources, Han Xing felt exhilarated. Without hesitation, he annexed this sky island territory.

[You have successfully fused the Dark Elves territory. Territory area has expanded.]

[You have obtained territory resources, Spirit Spring Water 1,532 liters.]

[Spirit Spring Water: A type of pure drinking water that seems to contain a life force. Drinking it can slowly recover injuries.]

“!!!”

Seeing that note, Han Xing was instantly stunned!

At first, he thought this was just ordinary drinking water, but the added attribute immediately elevated the value of this spring water by several tiers.

Recover injuries, what did that mean?

In this world, there were no doctors, and without Cleric healing skills.

If someone got injured, they either relied on their body’s natural recovery or simply awaited death.

Currently, many human survivors had sustained injuries from fighting monsters but lacked any effective treatment.

Those severely injured were as good as dead, they lost their combat ability, and the world seemed to have handed them a death sentence.

Close-combat classes, in particular, suffered an even higher casualty rate.

The arrival of Spirit Spring Water, however, gave these survivors a glimmer of hope.

One could only imagine the uproar when Spirit Spring Water appeared on the Trading Channel!

This wasn’t just a spring, it was liquid gold!

Han Xing was thrilled and couldn’t wait to take a sip himself.

As the cool spring water slid down his throat, he instantly felt a refreshing chill spreading from head to toe.

“So refreshing!”

The burns on his arms, caused earlier by splashes of a fireball attack, began to itch slightly.

“The injuries are healing. The effect is so obvious!”

After confirming the efficacy of Spirit Spring Water, Han Xing suddenly had an idea.

Now was the time when everyone desperately lacked water, this was a perfect trading opportunity.

With this thought, Han Xing decided to act immediately and start acquiring resources.

He opened the chat channel, preparing to observe the current market situation.

However, contrary to his expectations of frantic water-buying activity, most people were discussing a survivor selling water.

The chat channel was flooded with messages.

“Check it out! Boss Enchanter is selling water again!”

“Still 100 milliliters this time, and he’s asking for a green weapon for Rogues.”

“Whoever has it, quickly go and exchange it!”

The Trading Channel once again stirred a frenzy. Many people began privately messaging the survivor named ‘Enchanter,’ and the 100ml of water was almost instantly sold out.

“Huh? Someone already found a large water source?”

Han Xing sharply realized that someone might have started selling water ahead of him.

Scrolling through the chat messages confirmed his suspicions.

Indeed, there was a survivor named ‘Enchanter’ selling water.

However, his prices were absurdly high: 100 ml of water required 10 spirit cores, 5kg of food, or a green-grade piece of equipment.

Any of these items could strip a human survivor of their entire fortune.

The painstakingly gathered items from relatively safe sky islands would have to be traded entirely, all for a single sip of water.

Even so, many were still willing to scramble to buy it.

After all, compared to their lives, these items were worthless.

Han Xing lowered his head in thought. “Selling only 100 milliliters at a time, is this scarcity marketing?”

“It’s said this is the Enchanter’s seventh water sale. If that’s the case, he must still have a decent supply.”

“But definitely not as much as I do.”

Han Xing currently had a staggering 1,500 liters of water in his possession, converted into milliliters, that was a whopping 1.5 million ml!

He was confident that no one else in Channel 107 could surpass his supply at this stage. If anyone had, they would have already started trading in bulk.

With this in mind, Han Xing immediately opened the Trading Channel and posted a trade listing.

[Consignment Item Information]: Spirit Spring Water, capable of replenishing hydration and providing minor injury recovery effects.

[Stock Reserve]: Large quantity.

[Trading Conditions]: Every 1 Spirit Core can exchange for 10 ml of Spirit Spring Water, each piece of Refined Iron can exchange for 5 ml of Spirit Spring Water, each parchment of Beast Skin can exchange for 100 ml of Spirit Spring Water, each…

[Consignor]: Star River.

Han Xing meticulously entered various material details and set up comprehensive trading rules.

Everything from small ores to high-value equipment, skill books, blueprints, and unopened treasure chests was included, each with a clearly marked price!

He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once the survivors in Channel 107 got through this water crisis, it would be impossible to collect resources in bulk later.

Hoarding these materials would never be a loss for Han Xing.

In fact, the value of these materials would only increase over time!

Han Xing even considered that if he couldn’t use everything, he could craft the materials into equipment and resell it to Channel 107 survivors, continuously collecting their resources and forming a sustainable cycle.

At that point, it wasn’t impossible that he would end up supplying equipment for nearly 10,000 people in Channel 107.

And Han Xing would be raking in unimaginable wealth!

When the consignment listing for Spirit Spring Water went live, many survivors rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they must be seeing things.

Though skeptical, they clicked the trade button without hesitation, afraid they’d miss out if they delayed even a second.

The first survivor to trade 5 Spirit Cores, 8 pieces of Refined Iron, and 30 units of Rare Earth for 120 ml of Spirit Spring Water was so ecstatic he almost jumped with joy.

He shouted excitedly on the area channel, “Holy shit! I got it! I got it!”

“There’s water for sale on the Trading Channel! As long as you have materials, you can trade for it. Hurry!”

“What!?”

Following the first trade, the second one quickly followed, and soon Han Xing’s Spirit Spring Water sparked a frenzy.

At the same time, the area chat channel exploded with unprecedented excitement.

Many survivors were overcome with emotion inside.

“Holy crap, I actually got some! Thank you, benefactor…”

“Oh my god, it’s not your regular water! It’s Spirit Spring Water!”

“It’s better than ordinary drinking water and can even heal injuries!”

“Yo fam, hurry up! If you manage to trade for it, you’re making a fortune. If you’re late, it’ll all be gone!”

The chat channel was in complete chaos.

Meanwhile, Han Xing’s system notifications were popping up like crazy.

[Trade successful, you obtained Refined Iron x6, you lost Spirit Spring Water 30ml…]

[You obtained Bronze Treasure Chest x1, you lost Spirit Spring Water 500ml…]

[You obtained Mage Robe Blueprint（Green）x1, you lost Spirit Spring Water 300ml…]

Han Xing’s pricing was reasonable and accessible, no matter how small the material quantity, it could be exchanged for Spirit Spring Water.

Thanks to the clear pricing, Han Xing avoided the hassle of haggling, and the water-starved survivors began frantically purchasing.

With the system notifications scrolling non-stop, large amounts of materials flooded into his bag.

In just five minutes, his stockpile of Refined Iron exceeded 1,000, Spirit Cores surpassed 500, Rare Earth, Ether, and other materials went over 3,000 units.

And the numbers were still climbing at an alarming rate…

His 60-slot Space Bag was soon completely filled.

Han Xing had no choice but to pile the materials directly on the ground.

Before long, small mountains of resources towered around him.

At this moment, Han Xing’s face was beaming with delight.

“I’m rich! I’ve struck it rich this time!”
