"Fortunately, I hadn't had a chance to trade with him yet. If I traded with him, he might have just taken the supplies and blocked me!"
"If that happened, then it would be too late for me to cry!"
Upon hearing her words, the person who had been considering trading with Lu Ming hesitated.
"I thought about it seriously for a moment. You're right!"
The person who had been planning to trade nodded thoughtfully.
"But there must be people who have already successfully traded with him. Would anyone who has done so be willing to speak up?"
"Don't ever trade with Lu Ming!"
"Me too! I tried to send a trade to Lu Ming, but he unexpectedly blacklisted me!"
"Same here! Lu Ming blacklisted me too!"
Soon, in the chat square, the people who had sent junk messages to Lu Ming started to come forward one after another.
"I can't believe it...Lu Ming is such a person..."
Seeing that everyone presents said so, the good impression that the person who had planned to make a deal had of Lu Ming disappeared almost instantly.
"That's right, that's why we're trying to warn you not to trade with him!"
Seeing that so many people had the same opinion as her, the female streamer, who had not been very confident just moments before, now stood with complete confidence.
Even the way she spoke seemed extremely calm and composed.
"Doing business with this kind of person, brother, you'll almost certainly suffer a great loss."
Lu Ming silently furrowed his brow as he read the chaotic comments.
These people were bullying him because he wasn't well-known here.
Otherwise, why would they dare to spread such a damaging rumor?
Moreover, it seemed that many people believed the female streamer!
"Since so many of you are saying this, Lu Ming must be unreliable."
"Exactly, and a lot of people here have already mentioned it. I think there must be something wrong with Lu Ming."
"That's right! In the future, if we see him speak, we'll just ignore him and try not to give him any chances!"
"For sure. If we all unite against him, he won't dare to act up in front of us again."
Humph.
The female streamer who had been rejected by Lu Ming earlier lifted her disheveled hair in satisfaction as she read the negative comments about Lu Ming in the chat square.
This was the effect she had wanted!
When she thought of how she had mustered up the courage to lower her status but was rejected by Lu Ming, the female streamer gritted her teeth in hatred.
Before she came to this Road Survival Game, she was the top live streamer on the platform!
If someone like Lu Ming dared to target her, those bootlickers in her live broadcast room would have rushed out and bitten Lu Ming to death.
Unfortunately, things were different now.
As she watched the increasingly negative comments in the chat square, the female streamer couldn't help but smile.
Although she no longer had any bootlickers to defend her, her ability to control the narrative remained as strong as ever.
Within just a few minutes, Lu Ming's reputation had been ruined.
Lu Ming would probably be so anxious that he would cry when he saw this.
At the thought of this, the female streamer leaned comfortably against the back seat of her car.
Who asked Lu Ming to not know what was good for him back then? When he wanted to get resources in the future, no one would be willing to exchange the resources with him!
"Are you out of mind?"
Just as Lu Ming was about to tend to his own affairs, a very familiar username appeared in the chat.
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes. The person who spoke seemed to have dealt with him before.
"Have you guys ever had a good trade with Lu Ming?"
"To be honest, this big boss is the most honest seller I've ever traded with!"
"So... have I become an honest seller in the eyes of these people?" Lu Ming curled his lips helplessly.
But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, the materials he used to trade were basically of much higher quality than what others had.
It was naturally normal for others to regard it as a conscience.
"As for why Lu Ming blacklisted you, I think you guys should know better than me," the people who defended Lu Ming sneered.
"Especially the female streamer who spoke at the beginning. If you have the courage, release the complete chat history!"
"Why did you only show the part where you were blacklisted and not what you said?"
"I'm afraid you have a guilty conscience!"
"Humph! Who has a guilty conscience? Isn't my virginity worth a few pieces of bread and water?"
As soon as she said this, the previously lively chat square instantly went silent.
The looks in everyone's eyes turned playful.
The direction of the conversation at the scene took a U-turn.
"F*ck, you exchanged this with Lu Ming. There's something wrong with him if he trades with you!"
"That's right! Do you think we're stupid? Staying alive is much more important than engaging in such acts!"
"But he blocked me without any discussion!"
The female streamer became anxious and kept posting comments under everyone's messages.
The chat square, which had calmed down earlier, instantly became lively again as the female streamer and others engaged in a heated debate.
Lu Ming shook his head as he looked at the two sides of the chat square that were engaged in a heated debate.
It was already late, and yet they hadn't even collected all their resources and were only wasting time chatting online.
It was hopeless.
Without hesitation, Lu Ming left the chat square.
Instead of engaging in pointless arguments with those talkative people, he preferred to focus on his own tasks.
Coincidentally, the grilled bread outside should be almost dried.
Lu Ming quickly went outside and collected all the grilled bread he had left outside and put them into the back seat of the car.
After exchanging enough iron resources with others, his originally abundant grilled bread was now much less.
To be honest, if he hadn't needed to create a self-defense item in time, he wouldn't have traded so many resources with others.
It was really painful.
Lu Ming sat in the driver's seat and started the car decisively, driving forward along the road.
The most important thing now was to get more resources.
As he drove, a small wooden box appeared in front of Lu Ming.
The moment he saw the box, Lu Ming's eyes lit up. He skillfully walked to the box with his hammer and carefully examined it.
Compared to the boxes he had opened before, this one looked much smaller, so there probably weren't many supplies inside.
However, it should be sufficient after amplification.
With that in mind, Lu Ming raised the bronze hammer in his hand and gave two thumps, directly smashing open the box!
