Chapter 27: Shirley Wanted to Eat Fish

[Ding! Daily check-in successful!]

[Acquired water elemental affinity!]

“What the hell is water elemental affinity?”

After checking in so many times, this was the first time Bick had seen such a reward. He quickly checked the level and introduction.

[Water elemental affinity]

[Level: unknown]

[Explanation: With the blessing of the Sea God, you will be as free in the sea as on land!]

After reading the short explanation, Bick was a little confused. This explanation was too general.

Let’s not worry about that for now. After working for so long, it was time to eat something!

Bick knew that the water elemental affinity would definitely be of great use to him, but he was not in a hurry to discover it.

His stomach was already hungry. It was better to eat something to replenish his physical strength first.

“Einstein, get ready to eat!”

Bick called out and pulled up the fishing net. Taking a closer look, he realized that he had gained quite a lot today.

[You have obtained sea fish x8, wood x2, kelp x2!]

Looking at the gains from the fishing net, Bick smiled and began to cook delicacies. First, he processed the sea fish, then he began to grill them. While waiting for the dea fish to be ready, Bick opened the chat interface of God’s domain’s slate, he never thought that he would actually see the content regarding himself.

[This is amazing. We were attacked by a powerful player. We formed an alliance with 20 to 30 people, but we were actually defeated by one person!]

[20 to 30 people were defeated by one person?]

[That’s right. This guy is too terrifying. He actually still has smoke bombs and grenades. The most detestable thing is that he even has a freaking torpedo!]

[ … ]

[No way? He has already developed to such an advanced level?]

[Everyone, be careful. This player is too vicious. You definitely have to run as far as possible when you see him! ]

Bick frowned. This player who brought up the topic was obviously a surviving pirate. He said that he was vicious, but he did not mention anything about them being pirates.

Just as he was angry, a new message appeared.

[Nonsense! You pirates were the ones who robbed first! You can’t beat him, yet you say he is ruthless! ]

[What? Pirates?]

[You deserve it. More than 30 people of you were pirates and you robbed one person, yet you still have the nerve to say that?]

[Who said I’m a pirate? That player is the real pirate!]

[I personally experienced this battle and was kidnapped by these 30 people, who were pirates. The player who defeated them is called Bick. He’s a very nice person. If he didn’t defeat the pirates, I would have drowned in the sea by now! ]

[Pirates! D*mn it!]

[Deserved to be killed by a torpedo!]

[I was robbed by more than 30 pirates a few days ago. So it was you guys. Glad that revenge is done!]

In an instant, the direction in the chat changed 180 degrees. Bick knew at a glance that the person who helped him cleared his name was Shirley!

“I didn’t expect that she would actually stand up and speak up for me. But I didn’t plan to be so famous…”

At this moment, there weren’t many people who were discussing this matter. Instead, rows and rows of subtitles flooded the screen.

[Revenge is avenged. Thank you, Mr. Bick!]

[Revenge is avenged. Thank you, Mr. Bick!]

[Revenge is avenged. Thank you, Mr. Bick!]

…

Looking at it, there were quite a number of people who were attacked by the pirates. However, they shouldn’t have all been robbed by the thirty or so pirates, right?

With this thought in mind, Bick suddenly felt that he had become a thorn in the pirates’ side.

At this moment, a strong fragrance drifted into Bick’s nose. The two fish on the grill were already ready.

He was just about to put the grilled fish into the big wooden bowl when he suddenly saw Shirley sent him a private message.

[Bick, do you still have the perfect grilled fish? I’ll exchange it with you.]

[Yes… It’s just grilled.]

Bick smiled slightly, thinking that Shirley did not forget the delicious grilled fish. They knew each other and were considered friends. Moreover, Shirley had just cleared his name in front of the pirates, which meant that she recognized him very much.

Without thinking, Bick directly sent Shirley a trade message.

[Delicious grilled sea fish trade board]

Bick naturally did not lack food, but because he did not realize that the system had a gift function, he simply used the board as a trade.

But unexpectedly, the other party did not accept the trade, but sent another trade message.

[Corn seeds for delicious grilled sea fish]

“Corn seeds? She actually traded such an expensive item for a grilled sea fish!”

This transaction was definitely worth it for Bick. However, he did not accept the deal either. Instead, he sent a message in the private chat interface.

[Corn seeds are indeed very needed. However, using grilled sea fish to trade is too disadvantageous for you. Right now, I have plenty of food. Let’s use two grilled sea fish and two roasted kelp to trade!]

[Alright, since you put it that way, those were delicious food after all!]

Shirley’s answer seemed to be very reluctant, but in fact, she was in a very happy mood. She originally thought that she would be very happy if she could exchange for a delicious grilled sea fish to satisfy her cravings, but she did not expect Bick to be so generous and added so much food.

After a moment, Bick’s two kelps were also roasted. He opened the private chat interface again and sent the trade content to Shirley.

[Delicious grilled fish x2, delicious roasted kelp x2, trade corn seeds]

Instantly, the transaction was successful.

[You have a successful transaction, obtaining corn seed x1!]

“Great!”

Bick smiled and quickly took out the corn seed and planted them on his large-scale farm.

Now, the six plots of land on the large-scale farm had been planted with things. They were just waiting for the harvest.

Moreover, half of the large-scale farm’s area was planted with food crops. When they fruit, he would no longer have to worry about food shortages.

While the others were still thinking about how to fill their stomachs, he was already about to become a farmer!

Bick smiled complacently and grilled two more sea fish. He thought in his heart that if he planned to form an alliance with other players in the future, then the first choice would be this woman named Shirley.

To be able to casually take out a portion of corn seeds in exchange for a grilled fish meant that she was quite developed and was a capable player.

In the future, not only would he need reliable manpower when he formed an alliance, but there would be no value in forming an alliance if the other party was not capable enough.

Just as he was thinking about this, a message from Shirley appeared on the stone tablet’s private chat interface.

[As delicious as ever!]

[The roasted seaweed is not bad either. It’s much more delicious than I imagined! ]

[I’ll find you in the future to exchange for food!]

Seeing the series of messages from Shirley, Bick smiled and sent a reply.

[There will definitely be more delicious food next time!]

[Oh? I’m looking forward to it. If there’s something delicious, I’ll definitely buy it at a high price!]
