Exchange of Resources

Lu Ming's eyes lit up, was this a case of getting what he needed when he lacked it?

At the same time, The Heaven's Chosen One sent a message, "It's a shame that it's low-quality gasoline, my sports car can't use it." His tone was filled with regret.

Although it was not good to gloat, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel that fate was on his side.

"I have some water here, do you want to trade?" he asked immediately.

After Lu Ming said this, the other party replied quickly, "A screenshot has been taken. Brother, you can't go back on your word now."

Along with his message, there was also the symbol of an item. The note was an exchange request.

Despite having seen cars emerge from boxes before, Lu Ming still found it fascinating. 

After he agreed, a small bucket of gasoline appeared in front of him.

Then he noticed the water level in a bottle had gone down slightly.

Lu Ming was curious, so he opened the trunk and realized that the water in the bottle was indeed less than what he had put in earlier.

"It's pretty convenient," he remarked.

After saying that, the private message interface jumped again. Lu Ming opened it and was nearly blinded by the words that popped up.

"Oh my god!"

"Are you here for charity?"

It was still a message from Heaven's Chosen One. After the other party excitedly expressed his feedback to him, he disappeared again.

Lu Ming assumed the other person might be drinking water so he didn't care about Lu Ming.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming picked up the barrel of gasoline and examined it.

The amount of gasoline was much larger than the sewage water from before, at least a liter.

If it increased by a hundred times...

Lu Ming quickly contacted the system and increased the gasoline.

He didn't want to wait until the last moment every time to increase it. If something went wrong, he would suffer a huge loss.

This time, the system did not reject Lu Ming. After he expressed his wish, a familiar soft light appeared and refined the gasoline.

When the soft light faded, Lu Ming saw 100 liters of refined gasoline.

Lu Ming exclaimed, "Wow!"

Although he had expected it beforehand, but the real thing was placed in front of him, the shock was still self-evident.

A hundred liters of gasoline made Lu Ming feel secure. He immediately filled up the car and turned on the air conditioner.

"Just one word, amazing!"

Lu Ming never thought turning on the air conditioner while driving could be so enjoyable.

As expected, happiness came from comparison.

Just as he was thinking, the Haven's Chosen One appeared again.

"Boohoo, I bow down to you, God. You're the real boss."

"Others say that there's water, but it's not surprising that it's all dirty water. Boss, you have mineral water!"

"It feels like the last time I drank mineral water was in my previous life."

He was expressing his emotions wildly while Lu Ming smiled without saying a word.

If it weren't for the system awakening, he would also be a member of those who drank dirty water now, but the system was not common.

"Luck, I'm just a little luckier."

Lu Ming replied and continued to hear Heaven's Chosen One talk.

"I still have a little oil left. If I can't find any more usable oil and I'm about to die, can you exchange some water with me to prolong my life?

Lu Ming was speechless when he heard this.

He simply said, "You should look for supplies first."

Being cautious of others was important. Although the other party seemed friendly, Lu Ming didn't want to reveal the fact that he had a lot of water.

But the person on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Boss, since you didn't reject me, I'll take it that you agree."

"I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you to save my life then," Lu Ming joked.

"Hey, you're treating me like a stranger."

"If Boss needs it, I promise I'll go through fire and water without hesitation," Heaven's Chosen One immediately said.

Lu Ming was speechless.

He couldn't be bothered to listen to his boasting. Up until now, the two of them had been getting along quite well. Lu Ming was in a good mood now that he was in the air-conditioning.

In the end, it was the person who gave him a chance to turn on the air-conditioning. So, Lu Ming reminded him, "You don't need to go through fire and water. This road is almost like a sea of fire. It would be better for you to change cars."

After he finished speaking, there was no response from the other party for a long time.

After about a minute, exclamation marks flooded his vision like crazy.

"Boss, you're right."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"I was only thinking about finding gasoline. I never thought of changing cars."

"But my Ferrari. Boohoo..."

As Lu Ming saw the familiar name, his dormant memories gradually awakened, and he finally realized who this joker was.

He wanted to ask the other person about how he handled his car when it had run out of gas last time, but then he realized that everyone has their own way of dealing with things and decided to suppress this thought.

After crying about his Ferrari, Heaven's Chosen One cried again and asked Lu Ming what car he had chosen.

There was no need to hide it, so Lu Ming told him, "Jetta."

The other party knew the characteristics of this car and immediately sent a thumbs-up emoji.

"As expected of a big boss, you can resist the temptation of a luxury car and see the future situation."

"You have foresight, you are my god."

For a moment, Lu Ming was so flattered that he wanted to tell him that he had gasoline here.

Fortunately, his rationality came back in time, and he did not do anything rash.

Lu Ming could not stand the other party's flattery. There was indeed nothing left to talk about. After a brief greeting, he turned off the screen.

After experiencing various exhausting situations and being mentally tense, Lu Ming didn't want to move now that he was under the air-conditioning.

However, his stomach growled at an inappropriate time.

That was expected. With water, gasoline, and air conditioning, he should think about filling his stomach.

However, searching for resources was too mystical, and with his previous experience, Lu Ming was more inclined to exchange with others.

As for the candidates, Lu Ming summoned the virtual screen again and looked at the lone standout in his following list, Irascible Brother.

"Hello, do you have any food? I can trade water for it," he asked.

Due to the influence of Heaven's Chosen One, Lu Ming's initial reaction was to butter up the other person. 

However, this was not his style at all. In the end, he went straight to the point and directly stated his intentions to the other party.

When Irascible Brother was not scolding others, he was still quite serious. When he spoke, he even gave Lu Ming an impression of an elder.

The other party wasn't a dawdler. After hearing Lu Ming's request, he promptly asked what he wanted in exchange.

Lu Ming immediately perked up. Did this mean that the other person had more than one type of food? Could he be some sort of hidden big boss?

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming followed the same approach as Heaven's Chosen One and sent a 100ml bottle of mineral water along with his request to trade. 

There wasn't much water anyway. Even if he lost it, it wouldn't be a big deal. But it would demonstrate Irascible Brother's sincerity.

This action was the deciding factor for whether Lu Ming would continue to do business with Irascible Brother in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the other party's items appear in front of him one by one.

And it wasn't just one item.

There was half a loaf of dry bread, half a pack of instant noodles, and a seasoning packet.

This was what Irascible Brother had given him. It could be said that he was very sincere.

Although this thing did not look good, but Lu Ming was not worried about it at all. He called out the system to start the amplification.

After a series of operations, the problem at hand was finally resolved.

After having his fill of food and drink, Lu Ming took a nap before continuing on his journey.

As he drove and hummed a tune, he noticed that it was already getting late, but his mood was significantly different than before.

When he was in a good mood, his luck seemed to improve as well.

It didn't take long for Lu Ming to spot another resource box, and he happily approached it to open the box. Little did he know that someone was staring at him intently from behind.

The person's hand was weak, but he was still tightly gripping an axe.
