Was this real?

Looking at the trade request in front of him, Lu Ming couldn’t help but hesitate.

Honestly, he didn’t like receiving things from others for nothing. Repaying a debt of gratitude was much harder than repaying an actual debt.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Ming decisively pressed the reject button.

“Brother… what are you doing?”

“Sorry, I don’t intend to accept your things for free.”

Seeing the other party’s surprised expression, Lu Ming shook his head resolutely.

“If you need anything, I can give it to you, but I won’t accept your things for free.”

“Brother, you don’t have to be so polite. Just keep it. Anyway, this shark skin is of no use to me. So if you need it, I’ll give it to you.”

“Since you insist…”

Lu Ming took a deep breath and pulled out more than twenty bottles of salted soda from the back seat of the car, placing them in the trade column.

The total amount of these twenty bottles of soda far exceeded the five liters of water that the female streamer had extorted from Lu Ming.

The person in front of him, who planned to trade with him, seemed to be a trustworthy partner.

These five liters of water weren’t just exchanged for shark skin, but more importantly, to make a new friend.

In this Road Survival Game, having more friends meant having more chances of survival.

With this in mind, Lu Ming decisively pressed the send button.

In an instant, more than twenty bottles of soda water were transferred from Lu Ming’s backseat to the passenger seat of the person who had made the trade with him.

“Wow!”

Looking at the more than twenty bottles of soda in the passenger seat, the man who traded with Lu Ming widened his eyes and looked at Lu Ming in surprise.

“What are you doing…?”

“Just keep it.”

Before the man could finish, Lu Ming interrupted him decisively.

“You deserve these resources. You got them in exchange for that piece of shark skin.”

“If you agree, I’ll take the shark skin.”

The man looked at the supplies in the passenger seat, lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up and smiled at Lu Ming.

“Thank you for this.”

“No problem.”

Lu Ming casually raised his hand and smiled in response.

“I hope that if you can get similar rare resources in the future, you will come to me first to trade!”

“No problem! No problem!”

The other party nodded decisively and quickly sent over the shark skin in his hand.

The man who traded with Lu Ming heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw the over twenty bottles of salted soda water in the passenger seat.

Actually, he had originally intended to send back the resources that Lu Ming had given him, but…

His sister had suffered from heatstroke while they were searching for supplies together today. The twenty bottles of salted soda water that Lu Ming had sent over just happened to solve his urgent need.

If it weren’t for this reason, he would never have accepted Lu Ming’s supplies. After all, that piece of shark skin was not of much use to him.

However, he had already firmly remembered Lu Ming’s great kindness.

If he had the rare resources that Lu Ming needed next time, he would not hesitate to trade them to Lu Ming at a favorable price.

Then, he opened the trading window and gave the salted soda to his sister.

“Okay, everything is complete now.”

Lu Ming looked at the shark skin in his hand with satisfaction.

He had collected all the necessary materials for forging, and he didn’t have to worry about other supplies as much anymore.

It just so happened that he did not have many resources left.

It was better to suspend the trading application for a while and wait until he collected enough resources from the road before opening it again.

At the thought of this, Lu Ming quickly removed the transaction application from the chat market and focused on driving on the road to collect resources.

However, what Lu Ming did not expect was that his unintentional action caused an uproar in the quiet chat square.

“What the hell, what happened?”

“Brother Lu Ming removed his bounty that was always on the list. What’s going on?”

“Yeah, it was always there before. Why did it disappear all of a sudden?”

“Oh no, I just collected various metal objects with great difficulty. Won’t they all go to waste now?”

“Ah, my child is starving. Please, Brother Lu Ming, reopen the trading application. I need food and water.”

What was going on?

The female streamer silently furrowed her brows. She hadn’t traded with Lu Ming yet, and she was still holding the shark skin. Why did Lu Ming suddenly stop trading?

Could it be that she had asked for too much, so he simply canceled the bounty?

Tsk! At the thought of this, the female streamer’s expression suddenly twisted. She casually threw the shark skin in her hand to the side.

It was not easy for her to get this shark skin from that man.

But now that Lu Ming’s transaction application was gone, this piece of shark skin was almost as worthless as trash.

“Annoying…” She sat in the car seat, hugging her arms, and kicked the car in frustration.

Oh well, since Lu Ming couldn’t trade for it anymore, she might as well just exchange this piece of shark skin with anyone for whatever she could get. She didn’t know what she could get for this piece of junk anyway. Whatever she could get, she’d take it!

Even if she could exchange it for a condom, it would still be good! With that thought in mind, the female streamer quickly sent her trade request to the trading square.

“A piece of shark skin, whoever wants it can have it. I’ll exchange it for anything you’ve got!”

What’s going on?

The moment they saw this trade request from the female streamer, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Previously, they had thought that Lu Ming had revoked his bounty because he had already traded with the female streamer.

However, the piece of shark skin was still in the female streamer’s possession. Then why did Lu Ming want to revoke his bounty?

Because the female streamer had deliberately stirred up the situation, and coupled with the fact that these two incidents were too coincidental, everyone present focused their attention on the female streamer.

A sinister thought appeared in everyone’s minds at the same time.

“Could it be… that Lu Ming canceled the bounty because he couldn’t agree with the female streamer over the price of the shark skin?”

“It must be her doing!”

However, as soon as this idea was posted on the chat square, many people present responded to it.

“That’s right. Moreover, the female streamer had been causing trouble for Lu Ming before, and she was also the one spreading rumors about him. Now that Lu Ming has canceled his bounty, it must have something to do with her!”
