Chapter 112: Chapter 106: Small Group of Regular Players

He, too, wanted to find his son.

He wondered if his son was still alive.

Finn York let out a soft sigh. He then sent a message to the group chat and posted a bounty. If his child was among these over one thousand districts, just knowing he was safe would be enough to satisfy him.

District 2888.

Jenna Holland had never expected to receive an invitation to become a permanent player. The moment she saw it, she agreed without hesitation. After accepting, her eyes remained fixed on the various features available to permanent players in the Sea Survival Shop.

Once she familiarized herself with them, she entered the permanent player chat group to browse what the others were discussing. An overwhelming flood of information rushed at her, leaving Jenna slightly dazzled for a moment.

Moreover, she couldn’t find a suitable subgroup for herself among them. After all, her Skill was... Escape.

Perhaps it had to do with her personality. Whenever she encountered troubles on her raft, her first instinct was always to avoid them. This Skill not only increased her escape Speed, but to a certain extent, it also heightened her sixth sense. Back at Glimmerstone Isle, it was her Skill that warned her not to rush onto the island so quickly.

It didn’t matter if there wasn’t a specific subgroup for her; finding a similar one would do. However, the very next moment, Jenna actually spotted a relevant conversation.

"***: Are there any players with an escape-type Skill? It always feels a bit weird, but I finally worked up the courage to ask here."

"***: Yes."

"***: Yes."

"..."

Jenna quickly typed a single word in reply as well. She couldn’t help but let out a long breath of relief.

In the face of such a massive population, it seemed that even the most niche Skills had like-minded people! She didn’t care about achieving a high rank; she only hoped to survive and live well.

District 1002.

Levi Vance also hadn’t expected to actually be selected by the Sea Survival Shop this time. He figured his dedication to researching various types of Equipment had finally paid off.

Looking at the numerous subgroups recruiting people in the permanent player chat group, Levi’s eyes flickered. Rather than joining someone else’s subgroup, he preferred to create his own and raise the entry threshold. He needed to recruit more researchers so they could share what they had and pool their resources.

His previous research had indeed yielded significant results, but the Speed was far too slow. He believed that with more researchers brainstorming together, the Speed of researching Equipment would be much faster. By then, they would be able to obtain a lot more.

He posted a notification for his research subgroup and simultaneously set up an entry question. Only those who could answer the question would be allowed in.

After setting up the subgroup, Levi began to wait. In just a few moments, players began joining one after another.

The corners of Levi’s lips curled into a slight smile. His manpower had arrived.

He had just seen many new items listed by players in the Sea Survival Shop, all of which piqued his interest. Most importantly, they were selling incredibly well. As long as they could develop products with similar functions, they would definitely be highly sought after. Of course, he also wanted to research and develop Equipment specifically tailored to the current natural disaster.

The next moment, Levi pulled the players with research Skills into a discussion.

District 6538.

[Player has received an invitation to become a permanent player in the Sea Survival Shop. Do you accept?]

Reading the prompt, Audrey Aldridge’s heart skipped a beat involuntarily. She never imagined that she would actually receive the invitation. She had finally waited long enough for this moment.

She couldn’t wait and immediately checked the Sea Survival Shop interface. Seeing a group chat with over a thousand people and no entry threshold, she joined right away.

After joining, she watched the messages SWISHING by on the screen. She confirmed one thing.

The Sea Survival Shop had been upgraded today. And it wasn’t just a single upgrade; it had been upgraded several times consecutively. Scrolling back through the chat history, she realized she wasn’t the only one who had discovered this. Many players had already deduced it.

Information-based commodities.

She had immediately taken an interest in them the moment she first saw them. She had a feeling that her future fortune relied heavily on information-based goods. She was going to work hard at it.

The next moment, Audrey listed a portion of the Equipment and resources she had previously hoarded. At the same time, she joined multiple subgroups.

She would use her Wisdom to survive within these subgroups, exchange for the items she desired, and gather the information she needed.

...

Just like that, the small factions of permanent players began to establish themselves one after another.

The pooling of Skills, the exchange of information, the formation of factions... everything confirmed one point. The mechanics of the Sea Survival Game had begun to change once again.
