Chapter 9

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Jue opened the [World Channel] first.

“Shen Men 165.62: Oh my god, all kinds of wild beasts are howling outside. It’s so scary.”

“Sanjay 180.62: My farmer encountered a venomous snake this afternoon. He was bitten, and now he is seriously ill. I don’t know what to do.”

“Oliver 190.32: My Lord, please grant me some food.”

“Sheng Wenhua 174: I found an altar near the territory. It can make my farmers powerful warriors!”

…

The World Channel was still bustling with activity.

In the “Overlord Survival Game” that billions of people participated in, most of the Overlords had just started to adapt to this world and had even encountered different degrees of danger.

However, there were some Overlords who had already shown a lead in their capabilities.

They obtained the initial opportunity.

Anything was possible.

Although I have a strategy guide, there are many lucky people in this world to begin with.

There are also many talents with outstanding individual abilities.

These people are truly dragons who have left their lair on this vast continent.

I have to be vigilant at all times and not be too confident!

Wang Jue pondered for a moment and didn’t say anything on the World Channel.

Then, he opened [the Regional Channel].

According to the hint, this was a square area with an area of 40,000 square kilometers.

From this, it could be seen that this world was truly boundless.

On top of the regional channel was a number.

1886 / 2000

This was the number of people who were still alive in the region. Out of the earlier 2,000 people, 114 had already died!

The lifeless numbers stimulated everyone’s nerves.

Perhaps there were more deaths in some areas, and fewer deaths in others.

The region Wang Jue was in couldn’t represent anything, so there was no universality in the statistics.

However, it was enough to illustrate the brutality of living in this world.

Death was right at one’s side, and it could befall at any moment.

The [Regional Channel] was also very lively.

Everyone experienced the first night of this world.

No one dared to take the risk and leave the protection of the small courtyard to explore outside.

Hence, everyone chose to use this channel.

“Jiang Jie 165: The beginning is the most difficult period. Only when you get through it, will you be qualified to gain a foothold.”

“Li Yi 189.31: Brother, you have a point. I’ve been gathering wood for an entire day, but I’ve only built an elementary straw shed. I want to build a training camp tomorrow and start training my farmers.”

“Cai Xukun 123.2: Everyone, listen to me. If any of us meet, let’s not attack one another…”

…

As everyone slowly expands, there will be territorial disputes sooner or later.

When one’s interests are threatened, these people, including myself, probably won’t be as calm as we are right now.

No one had progressed to that stage yet. Everyone was currently in the stage of huddling together for warmth.

Wang Jue thought for a moment and sent a message to [Regional Channel].

“Wang Jue182.83: Don’t ever go near the middle area close to the forest. There’s a group of ferocious and powerful bandits there.”

After sending the message, he closed the [Regional Channel]. One person he could help would count as one.

Anyone who encountered that bandit camp probably won’t be able to escape unscathed.

That they were able to injure Carl and the other soldiers at first glance, it definitely wasn’t an ordinary force.

“Now, let’s check out the trade market.”

Activate function.

Immediately, a large number of messages appeared.

The items were all very ordinary.

They were mainly stones and wood.

There were no blueprints, weapons, or special materials.

Wang Jue retracted his gaze.

“Now, I’ll post a deal for bread.”

Wang Jue smiled slightly.

With a bunch of hungry people, bread must be even more tempting at this moment.

A while later.

On the trading channel.

[Seller: Wang Jue 182.23]

[Item: 400g Wheat Bread]

[Demand: 50 Gold Coins]

[Alternative: Special materials]

[Quantity: 1]

So far, Wang Jue had already posted two items.

And both were precious food and water.

The 600ml of drinking water has not been traded yet.

In the chat channels.

“Tsk! Boss Wang Jue has put up a deal again.”

“I saw it. A bread! I’m so hungry now. Can he give it to me for free?”

“Gold coins again? But we’re all in initial territories. Who would have so many gold coins!”

“If I have any special materials, I’ll trade with him to fill my stomach before anything else! Speaking of stomach, its growling again…”

…

Everyone realized that it was Wang Jue again. All kinds of envious, jealous, and hateful words were thrown at him.

How lucky is this Wang Jue? He has so much of the food and water that so many people want but do not have. He is even selling them!

Wang Jue’s private messages exploded again.

This time, people began to scold him for his lack of compassion and even attempted to guilt-trip him.

Wang Jue chose to ignore all of them.

What a joke. If you only have the capability to be a keyboard warrior, then please wash up and sleep early. This world will not pity a weakling!

There was a screening function in the private message channel.

Wang Jue used “gold coins” and “special materials” as keywords.

Only when these keywords were triggered would the dialog box pop up.

Just then.

“Che Jing’er 175.01: I have enough gold coins. If you’re willing to trade bread and 300ml of water, I can trade with you.”

The display picture was a sweet-looking girl with bright eyes.

The corner’s of Wang Jue’s mouth lifted into a smile.

Finally, there was a buyer.

“You’re asking for so much in one go, aren’t you demanding too much?”

Wang Jue shook his head and replied to Che Jing’er.

“Wang Jue182.83: You should know the present situation very well, food is currently very precious, and only I am willing to sell it. Do you think I will agree to you asking for so much at once?”

“Che Jing’er175.01: I don’t want the water then. Can I have three breads?”

“Wang Jue182.83: Sorry, no! I only have this one left. If you don’t want it, I’ll eat it tomorrow.”

“Che Jing’er175.01: Alright, let me think about it.”

After a few minutes.

[System notification: Trade for 400g Wheat Bread completed, Gold Coins+50]

Wang Jue checked the transaction information. It was indeed Che Jing’er who had traded using gold coins.

The next second.

[System notification: Trade for 300ml Drinking Water complete, Gold Coins+30]

It was also a transaction that Che Jing’er had completed.

To think this girl is actually a rich woman!

Everyone had their own encounters, so Wang Jue wouldn’t envy others.

With a thought, Wang Jue brought out the Evil Spirit Archer Recruitment Scroll.

Wang Jue felt a slight coldness when he held it in his hand.

“The increase in strength cannot be delayed.”

Now, every increase in capabilities would increase his speed of development.

Wang Jue decisively took out the recruitment scroll.

Tap to use.

[System notification: Summoning the ancient Evil Spirit Archer]

[Requirement: Evil Spirit Archer Recruitment Scroll x1, 50 HP, 100 Gold Coins]

Wang Jue suddenly felt weak as if his body had been hollowed out. His face instantly turned pale.

This consumed almost half of his health points, but it was bearable.

The recruitment scroll slowly flew into the air.

It stopped in the air for a moment, a second later,

a blackish-purple beam of light bloomed. Wang Jue seemed to hear an ancient whisper.

A figure slowly walked out from the light.

Her soft purple hair was straight, and her skin looked like jade. The beautiful curves of her tube top made her slender waist look even more delicate.

Her light armor shone brightly and outlined her perfect figure.

The female elf approached Wang Jue on graceful steps.

With a bow in one hand and a hand on her chest, she bowed slightly to Wang Jue.

“I have come in compliance with the summon, my Overlord.

“Great Overlord, may you be bathed in the light of the Moon Goddess!”
