Chapter 128 - 119: Benefits for the Team

Chapter 128: Chapter 119: Benefits for the Team

After integrating all sorts of information in her mind, Zelda Parrish was left with only one thought.

She realized Rowan Rhodes was a true powerhouse, and riding her coattails was definitely the right move.

Promptly, Zelda planted a portion of the Eira Grass Seeds. She then walked over to the Medical Table to start crafting Antidotes.

At the same time, she shared the news of having Antidotes, Eira Grass, and Eira Grass Seeds with the Manufacturing Skill players in her team.

Sure enough, as soon as the news was released in the group chat, it immediately sparked a wave of amazement and flattery.

Zelda did not explain the origins of these items.

Regardless of what these people thought, they would know she had the ability.

Although she was very willing to stand on the same front as Rowan, she had to ensure she remained highly competitive.

Rowan likely wouldn’t care how many contacts she had, only whether she could provide enough goods in return.

As for how to navigate the future, she would cross that bridge when she came to it.

For now, she had a clear, paved path in front of her—why wouldn’t she take it?

After all, in the face of the Sea Survival Game, the relationship between players was one of cooperation.

Owen Caldwell had also received his delivery.

[Trade: Antidote x100, Eira Grass x200, Eira Grass Seeds x200]

Originally, he had only planned to trade for a few items for his own use. However, after seeing the conversation between Zelda and Rowan, he boldly asked for a bit more.

To his surprise, he received every single one of these rare resources.

As expected, young people really had sharp minds!

Following her lead was definitely the right choice.

Thinking of his own team, Owen pondered for a moment before sending a message to their group chat.

[Owen Caldwell: Does anyone need Antidotes, Eira Grass, or Eira Grass Seeds? I have some here. You can trade for them using Trading Coins or resources.]

[Gavin York: For real? You have them?]

[Owen Caldwell: Yeah! They’re from the powerhouse backing me.]

[Shawn Sutton: Holy crap, you actually have them!]

[Owen Caldwell: Do I look like the kind of guy who talks out of his ass?]

[Benson Hale: Of course not.]

[Conan Mercer: Caldwell, who is this powerhouse backing you? Did we get our previous ores from her? Is it Rowan Rhodes?]

[Owen Caldwell: Yeah, it’s her.]

[Conan Mercer: Ahhh! I knew I had a special connection with this powerhouse. Our names both end in ’an’, so I guessed it was her earlier.]

[...]

The group chat instantly buzzed with excitement.

What player wouldn’t be interested in Rowan Rhodes?

As for Owen, he had only confirmed her identity after asking for Rowan’s permission.

Deep down, Owen vaguely felt that he couldn’t completely dominate his small group chat because his technical skills weren’t particularly innovative compared to the others.

Given this situation, he could use Rowan’s name as bait to draw them in.

This way, whenever Rowan needed something, he could command these players more effectively.

The players would also be perfectly willing to comply, as they could see the tangible benefits he brought them.

Even if those benefits ultimately came from Rowan.

[Trade: Antidote x100, Eira Grass x300, Eira Grass Seeds x300]

Upon seeing such a massive batch of goods, Faye Sinclair immediately chose to start planting.

After all, by growing them herself, she would yield one unit of Eira Grass and one unit of Eira Grass Seeds per plant.

Naturally, she had to meet her own needs first.

Most importantly, once harvested, she could use her Medical Table to craft Antidotes.

This yield was far more substantial than what she gained from making Anti-toxic Equipment.

She had to craft the Anti-toxic Equipment, but she definitely needed to produce the Antidotes as well.

[Faye Sinclair: I have a new way to make money over here.]

[Quinn Rowan: What way?]

[Faye Sinclair: I’ve got my hands on some Eira Grass. I’ll take a ten percent cut based on the amount you guys can plant and process.]

[Jessica Sinclair: Where did you get it?]

[Yara Vincent: Who cares where it came from? I want in.]

[Zoe Chadwick: Thanks for leading us to profit, Ms. Sinclair.]

[Monica Lewis: Woohoo, time to make some money!]

[...]

Watching the private messages continuously flood in, the corners of Faye’s mouth curled up slightly.

She would be able to pass through this current natural disaster without a hitch.

She needed to stockpile as many resources as possible. It wasn’t just about surviving long enough to find her daughter; it was also about being able to provide for her once they were reunited.

She had already posted family search notices, but so far, there had been no news of her daughter.

Her inability to find her was a source of profound anxiety.

Especially as the natural disasters grew increasingly severe.

[Trade: Antidote x200, Eira Grass x600, Eira Grass Seeds x600]

Skye Schuyler was the last person to receive the Antidotes and other goods, so she hadn’t held back with her request.

Of course, she only dared to ask for such large quantities because she had collaborated with Rowan numerous times. Rowan trusted her enough, and she, in turn, highly revered Rowan.

Most importantly, her team was relatively large and included quite a few players with Farming Skills.

After all, farming and good food were inextricably linked.

She acquired many of her ingredients from players with Farming Skills.

[Skye Schuyler: Hehehe, your big sister is here to make you all rich.]

[Raina Lynch: What kind of money-making opportunity?]

[Linda Finch: Such big talk!]

[Melody Ziegler: Do you have good stuff like those octopus tentacles?]

[Yuna Paige: Any novel seeds?]

[Jean Aldridge: I want seeds too! I just opened up a lot more fields! I’m just waiting on seeds now.]

[Yvonne Vance: My Farming Skill just leveled up to D-level. I can get triple the seed harvest now.]

[Skye Schuyler: Then the timing is perfect! I just got my hands on a highly rare seed.]

[Yuna Paige: Stop keeping us in suspense and spit it out.]

[Skye Schuyler: Eira Grass.]

[Yvonne Vance: For real?]

[Melody Ziegler: That sounds so surreal!]

[Linda Finch: Where did you get it?]

[Raina Lynch: It couldn’t be from that powerhouse you’re always talking about, could it?]

[Skye Schuyler: Hehe, yep! She’s a super impressive powerhouse.]

[Yvonne Vance: This powerhouse is definitely far from simple. Let’s trade, let’s trade! You ride the powerhouse’s coattails, and I’ll ride yours.]

[...]

In the blink of an eye, Skye had received numerous trade requests, the vast majority being for seeds.

It all came back to that simple truth: players with the Farming Skill could take a single seed and turn it into many more.
