Luo Feng was nearly overwhelmed by the sheer variety of items available for trade.
There really was everything imaginable being sold, broadening Luo Feng's horizons.
Who would have thought there were even tomb-raiding diaries in the ocean? Did that mean underwater tombs existed?
Luo Feng had read plenty of novels and had come across mentions of underwater tombs before.
However, he wasn't interested in these things right now.
He still had a treasure waiting to be explored—why would he waste time searching for underwater tombs?
What amused Luo Feng the most was that someone actually thought they could earn 0.1 Ocean Coin just by calling someone "Dad." That seemed way too easy.
Surely no one would spend 0.1 Ocean Coin just to hear that word.
Common people didn't have many ways to earn Ocean Coins.
Most entered the Main Sea Area without a single Ocean Coin to their name, let alone spare change to spend on something like this.
After casually browsing for a few minutes, Luo Feng left the trading section—nothing there caught his eye.
With his current wealth, he could buy out the entire trading section if he wanted.
Next, Luo Feng turned his attention to the chat channel.
With the increasing population in the Main Sea Area, messages in the chat channel never stopped.
Dozens of messages flew by every second.
The rules of the Main Sea Area's chat channel were different from those of the Novice Sea Territory.
In the Novice Sea Territory, since the player count was relatively low, everyone could chat freely without restrictions—whenever they wanted, as much as they wanted.
But the Main Sea Area was different.
The population here had already reached hundreds of thousands.
As time passed, more and more players would enter the Main Sea Area—millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions.
If every player sent just one message, the chat channel would be completely flooded.
Thus, the Main Sea Area's chat channel implemented a restriction:
Each player could only send ten messages per day in the global chat.
Regional channels had no such limit.
This helped reduce unnecessary spam.
As Luo Feng focused on the chat channel, the players' messages entered his view.
He planned to take this opportunity to harvest a wave of Shock Points.
Tens of thousands of players was no small number.
Even if each provided just 1 Shock Point, Luo Feng could still earn hundreds of thousands.
Though he already had hundreds of millions of Shock Points, he wouldn't pass up such a good chance to earn more.
"The Main Sea Area isn't what I expected. Shouldn't treasures be everywhere here?
But all I see is endless ocean.
The nearest Mist City is a full thousand kilometers away. How long will it take me to get there?
I've heard pirates often appear in the Main Sea Area—that sounds terrifying.
I don't even want to be here anymore. I'd rather go back to the Novice Sea Territory."
I really want to say to the players in the Novice Sea Territory right now:
"Don't come in."
"No way! With my C-grade Talent, I thought I could dominate in the Main Sea Area, but I almost got dominated instead.
I just entered the Main Sea and immediately landed in a shark pack.
Luckily, my ship is quite sturdy.
It took me a long time to finally shake off those sharks.
This is really too much for me."
"Can I timidly ask... does anyone have extra food? I haven't eaten for five whole days and can barely hold on."
"Seriously? You haven't eaten for five days and still went to the Main Sea Area? That's just speeding up your death.
Even rich landlords don't have spare grain these days. You're on your own."
"Abnormal activity detected at Mist Island. Possible treasure appearance. Anyone want to team up?"
"Yanzu, you still can't break your habit of reading chat messages, huh."
...
Luo Feng read through dozens of messages in one go.
He found that most people were having a really hard time.
Some had suffered in the Novice Sea Territory, and their situation became even worse after entering the Main Sea Area.
The difficulty level in the Main Sea Area far exceeded that of the Novice Sea Territory.
Just the additional pirate threats alone were enough to make life miserable for new arrivals in the Main Sea Area.
These pirates were no saints - when they spotted players, they pounced like starving wolves spotting lambs.
They would never let players go easily.
One thing in these chat messages caught Luo Feng's attention.
It seemed many players had already noticed the unusual activity at Mist Island.
Likely, numerous players would head there to investigate.
But with their current level-0 status, coming here would truly be a death wish.
After some thought, Luo Feng realized this was the perfect opportunity for him to act and earn some Shock Points.
He began composing a message to warn everyone.
Soon, Luo Feng finished editing his message and posted it directly in the chat channel:
"Surprising to see so many people have already reached the Main Sea Area in just a few days.
Looks like everyone's progressing quickly.
I noticed some players have detected unusual activity at Mist Island, with many wanting to explore.
There indeed have been mutations at Mist Island, but it's extremely dangerous. I don't recommend low-level players coming here.
Otherwise, you'll just be delivering yourselves to death.
However, there are some treasures here.
This level-5 Mist Crystal was obtained recently after I killed a level-5 monster.
Consuming it can rapidly boost your strength.
I won't say more - take this good opportunity to collect more level-5 Mist Crystals.
If you get extras, you can trade them too."
After Luo Feng sent this message, the previously bustling world chat channel instantly fell into complete silence.
After a brief pause, the players in the world chat channel erupted with excitement.
The chat instantly became extremely lively.
"Holy shit! Is this the legendary Shura?
I've heard of Shura's fame, but this is the first time seeing him speak.
The big boss is truly the big boss. Just a casual remark from him gives us rookies such a huge thrill.
Being able to speak with Shura up close is just too amazing, ahhh!
"Am I seeing things? Did Shura just say he's already killed a level 5 monster?
How is that even possible?
He's only been in the Main Sea Area for less than two days, right?
Could it be...?"
