Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 21

Lei Wei questioned Han Xing on the chat channel.

At this moment, another person named “Five Heavenly Thunder” chimed in: “Also, our Lei Group members tried trading with you but were refused. What’s the deal? Don’t want to do business anymore?”

Facing their questioning, Han Xing responded with a light chuckle: “No reason, I just don’t want to trade with people from the Lei Group.”

The other survivors quickly caught onto the subtle undertones of Han Xing’s reply.

This pro doesn’t seem to get along with the Lei Group, huh?

Then it hit them, they remembered that the person Lei Group was clamoring to ban in the chat channel yesterday seemed to be Star River!

It’s over… These fools offended the pro, and now the pro is outright refusing to trade with them.

Many silently mourned for Lei Group members for a few seconds.

At this point, Lei Wei realized Han Xing was holding a grudge over yesterday’s events. Restraining his anger, Lei Wei said in a low voice: “Kid, there’s no need to be so petty, is there?”

“Sure, we’ve had our differences, but that was just me. No need to drag the rest of the Lei Group into this, right?”

Han Xing, however, smiled and retorted: “Really? As I recall, yesterday it wasn’t just you. A bunch of Lei Group members jumped in, yelling about blacklisting me and refusing to trade resources.”

“Well, congratulations. You’ve succeeded.”

Lei Wei was stunned for a moment, his tone turning dark: “Star River, don’t take things too far. If you don’t sell us water, the lives of dozens of Lei Group members will be on your hands!”

The atmosphere in the chat channel grew tense. Lei Wei directly invoked the lives of dozens of people in an attempt to pressure Han Xing into selling water.

But Han Xing merely sneered: “Lei Wei, I’ve told you before, don’t try to use that kind of reasoning with me. Do you think moral blackmail works on me?”

“As their leader, you’re responsible for your subordinates. Since you made the decisions, you must bear the consequences. If you can’t handle it, it only proves your incompetence.”

After finishing, Han Xing didn’t waste more words on Lei Wei and exited the chat channel.

Lei Wei, his face ashen, sat staring at the screen, shaking with anger.

Meanwhile, the other Lei Group members turned pale as ghosts.

…

Back in Han Xing’s sky island territory.

He emerged from a pile of materials.

Lei Wei’s threats had no effect on him. Although Lei Wei had exaggerated the severity of the situation, Han Xing knew the truth.

Water resources in Channel 107 were scarce, but there were still reserves in some people’s hands.

Lei Group could trade with these individuals, albeit at a higher cost. It all depended on whether Lei Wei was willing to pay the price.

Shaking his head, Han Xing dismissed those concerns and focused on his own affairs.

Looking at his now-expanded territory, nearly double its original size, Han Xing grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.

Previously, his territory was 32 m³. After merging with the Dark Elves’s sky island, it had grown to 64 m³.

A large 8 m x 8 m platform floated in the sky.

Though the space was large, the sheer amount of materials still made the platform crowded and chaotic.

Han Xing finally managed to carve a path out of the materials and found two empty spots at the edge.

He then checked the requirements for crafting a Storage Box in his blueprint column.

[Storage Box Blueprint (Green)]

[Crafting Materials Required: Spirit Core x50, Refined Iron x100, Mithril x10, Rare Earth x100.]

[Crafting Success Rate: 10% (Affected by ‘God-level Craftsman’ talent, success rate has reached 100%).]

“Hmm? It even requires Mithril,” Han Xing muttered to himself.

He pondered, ‘Mithril is quite rare. Besides the small chance of finding it in Bronze Treasure Chests, the only other option is stumbling upon a few Mithril mines.’

“I wonder if Channel 107 has any right now.”

Han Xing was somewhat uncertain, but when he returned to the chat channel and expressed his intention to purchase Mithril, he received an overwhelming response.

In the end, he successfully exchanged 2000 ml of Spirit Spring Water for 21 pieces of Mithril.

As expected, the power of numbers is immense. Even if the drop rates are low, there are always a few lucky players who manage to obtain such materials.

With the materials for the Storage Box finally collected, Han Xing immediately clicked on the crafting option.

A dazzling green light flashed, and a portion of the material pile on the ground vanished.

Before him, a progress bar appeared, set at 180s.

Since this was a tool crafting process, it required a longer production time.

After waiting for 6 minutes, a system notification appeared.

[Successfully Crafted Storage Box (Green) x2]

[Storage Box (Green), Quality – Excellent, 350 Storage Space, Special Effect – Expansion (Added Storage Space +50)]

[Storage Box (Green), Quality – Rare, 400 Storage Space, Special Effect – Intermediate Expansion (Added Storage Space +100)]

Two Storage Boxes were crafted, one with excellent quality and the other rare. Including the special effect bonuses, they provided a total of 750 storage slots!

The God-level Craftsman talent once again demonstrated its incredible utility.

“Perfect! Now there’s more than enough storage space!”

Just as he finished speaking…

Clang!

With a metallic echo, two Refined Iron Storage Boxes appeared in front of Han Xing. Each was about 2 meters long and 1 meter wide.

Made entirely from Refined Iron, the boxes had a sleek black appearance, adorned with white Mithril patterns running across them.

Han Xing began packing the mountainous piles of materials into the Storage Boxes.

Moments later, the territory looked spacious and tidy once more.

Clapping his hands, Han Xing reopened the trading channel and resumed selling Spirit Spring Water.

Channel 107 was abuzz with activity again.

Many players eagerly rushed to trade resources with Han Xing. Within seconds, over a hundred trade requests flooded in.

The trading frenzy this time was even more intense than before!

Han Xing clicked on trade requests so rapidly that his hands nearly cramped from the effort. He was completely engrossed in the activity.

[Trading Successful: You Obtained Comprehensive Furniture Blueprint Collection. You Lost Spirit Spring Water 500ml.]

[Trading Successful: You Obtained Beast Skin Boots Blueprint (Green). You Lost Spirit Spring Water 300ml.]

[Trading Successful: You Obtained Warrior’s Pendant Blueprint (Green). You Lost Spirit Spring Water 500ml.]

…

This time, Han Xing adjusted the trading conditions. He removed equipment trades and focused on acquiring blueprints instead. Any duplicates were immediately skipped.

The trading frenzy lasted for nearly two hours. By the end of it, Han Xing felt like his hands were about to cramp from overuse.

After completing the final trade, Han Xing collapsed to the ground, feeling as though he had just fought an epic battle.

Despite the exhaustion, his face was filled with exhilaration.

After all, who wouldn’t be thrilled to see their bag filled with over a dozen skill books and dozens of equipment and weapon blueprints?

On top of that, the edges of his territory now featured four Storage Boxes occupying 8 m² of space.

Since the materials had overflowed earlier, Han Xing had temporarily crafted two more boxes.

Now, with four Storage Boxes and nearly 3,000 storage slots, every inch was packed with materials!
