Chapter 34 The Watermelon Stirred Up a Storm 1

Lu Chenxi randomly picked three watermelons and cut them into about 60 portions, listing them on the trading center.

[(500g Watermelon x1) Trade (Any Seed or Vegetable)] x 60 portions

60 portions seemed like a lot, but compared to the player base, it wasn’t much. So, without Lu Chenxi needing to advertise in the chat channel, the watermelons were all snatched up in a matter of seconds.

Players who were browsing and shopping in the trading hall suddenly discovered that someone had listed watermelons, and the price was quite low. Any seed or vegetable could be traded for a portion. They immediately couldn’t control themselves and placed orders.

For such a rare and low-priced resource, it was extremely popular among players. So, at this moment, it was all about speed. Players who managed to grab some were overjoyed, while those who didn’t were secretly annoyed.

Some players who liked to show off couldn’t help but go to the chat channel to pull some hate.

[Today, the big shot listed watermelons again. I used my 27-year-old virgin hand speed to grab a piece. It’s so sweet.]

[When did this happen? How come I didn’t know?]

[Why didn’t I see it? Do you guys have some inside information?]

[It’s been gone for a long time. Are you waiting for it?]

[Ah, I also want to eat watermelon. Please, big shot, list some more.]

[Although I got some, it’s so delicious. Please, big shot, list some more.]

[I really, really want to eat it. Big shot brother, can you list some more? *~*]

[Please, big shot, list some more. The child is craving it so badly. They’re drooling.]

…

Chenyue, who was constantly paying attention to the players’ feedback on the watermelon, saw that other players also wanted to eat the watermelon she had grown so much, and they even praised it for being sweet. She immediately asked her sister if she could list some more.

Lu Chenxi couldn’t do anything about Chenyue. She knew that this was the first time she had grown watermelons, and she was too excited.

Besides, there were still over 200 pounds of watermelons left. This stuff would get boring if you ate too much. It was enough to keep a few. So, she listed another 100 portions.

This time, Lu Chenxi specifically posted an announcement in the chat channel so that all the players who wanted to buy it could know. After all, it was fair competition.

[I saw all your messages, so I decided to list another 100 portions. After this batch, I’ll be out of stock.

Note: Listing in 1 minute. First come, first served.]

This time, most of the players flooded into the trading center. It was fortunate that the system didn’t crash. If this had happened on Earth, the server would have crashed long ago.

This was a classic case of too many monks and not enough porridge. Those who were fast enough to grab some quickly went back to the chat channel to report their good fortune:

[I got it! I got it! Mom, I’m successful!]

[Envy you upstairs. I was half a second too slow. I didn’t even get a watermelon rind.]

[I say, people should be kind. Everyone is still struggling to get enough to eat. This person actually has so many watermelons to sell. Why don’t they know how to help everyone out?]

[How do you want to help? Call me grandpa, and grandpa will consider leaving you a piece of watermelon rind.]

[Exactly. The big shot’s watermelons are already sold at a very cheap price. I used a single vegetable and managed to grab a portion. This is a whole pound of watermelon.]

Some people attacked Lu Chenxi, while others defended her. After all, she was a person with a reputation of 10, and she still had a fan base.

Lu Chenxi saw that the other players were arguing again. The text they were posting wasn’t very suitable for children to see. She quickly diverted Chenyue’s attention with something else: “We got a lot of seeds this time. What should we plant next?”

“Can’t we keep planting watermelons?” Chenyue asked her sister innocently.

She was completely obsessed with planting watermelons.

“What do you think? Of course not. We can’t even finish all the watermelons in the space. We’ll plant them again after we finish eating them.”

“Since you’re not choosing, then I’ll choose. This time, we’ll plant some scallions, garlic sprouts, ginger, baby bok choy, and tomatoes,” Lu Chenxi decided.

“Okay, whatever,” as long as it wasn’t watermelon, it didn’t matter to Chenyue what they planted.

Just when Lu Chenxi thought the watermelon incident was over, the next day, when she went to the chat channel, she saw it was flooded with messages.

Here’s what happened: A 13-year-old girl, who had been a die-hard fan of a certain celebrity on Earth, entered the survival game.

The little girl was very lucky and formed a team with her parents.

So, these days, she had been protected by her parents and hadn’t suffered much. She was also at an age where she didn’t know the wickedness of people’s hearts.

Yesterday, when Lu Chenxi listed the second batch of watermelons, the girl’s father was quick and grabbed a piece. He originally planned to share it with the whole family.

But the girl’s mother, feeling sorry for her daughter who had been having a poor appetite these days and couldn’t eat anything, decided to give the watermelon to her daughter alone.

After all, adults could endure hardship and fatigue, but they had to make sure their children ate well.

Unexpectedly, the watermelon that her parents didn’t even dare to taste was given by the girl to her idol.

Later, when the girl’s mother asked her about it, she accidentally slipped up and revealed the truth. The girl’s family was furious and directly scolded the idol in the chat channel.

After all, this idol was quite famous, so the uninformed onlookers who heard about this also joined in the scolding.

Some players were also fans of that idol on Earth.

The fans said: Although if the idol asked them for supplies at this time, they wouldn’t give it to them either. But after all, they had been fans for so long. You’re making up stories like this, are you slapping our judgment in the face?

For a while, these fan players started to defend their idol’s reputation.

The chat channel became a complete mess, with people scolding, eating melons, and fanning the flames.

After spending some time understanding the whole story, Lu Chenxi looked at the text that was blocked by the system. She could guess that it wasn’t anything good. For a moment, she felt a sense of wonder. She never expected that a small piece of watermelon would cause such a big commotion. She was so scared that she quickly took out a piece of watermelon to calm her nerves.

Of course, the truth would never be concealed, and good people would never be wronged. This incident continued to be a hot topic.

Finally, the idol, who had been busy collecting supplies, found out. The idol had also participated in the watermelon grab yesterday, but he didn’t get any.

The idol, who had failed to grab the watermelon, couldn’t help but recall his glorious days in the past. He never thought that he would be so down on his luck that he couldn’t even get a piece of watermelon.

The idol was unwilling to accept this. He wanted to work hard and reach the peak of his life again.

So, the next day, as soon as the sun rose, he went out to collect supplies and search for treasure chests. Of course, he didn’t have time to look at the chat channel.

After a day of hard work, he finally got a huge reward. Whether he ate it or not didn’t matter anymore. He was lucky today and found a yellow treasure chest in a pile of grass. He actually opened it and got a level 2 weapon.

The idol, who was bubbling with joy, returned home and planned to surf the chat channel and eat some melons.

The incident happened so suddenly. He was eating melons, and the melons landed on his head.
