Chapter 44: Han Xing the Great Philanthropist (Please Follow and Read!)

The next day.

As soon as Han Xing opened his eyes, he was greeted by thousands of unread private messages.

After casually clicking on a few, he quickly figured out what had happened.

"So that's it. It seems everyone has already experienced just how formidable that elite monster is."

Papaya Spirit's analysis in the chat channel last night had effectively established restorative medicine as one of the hard prerequisites for clearing this region.

The sheer number of people messaging Han Xing privately were all looking to trade for the restorative items in his possession.

Han Xing smiled inwardly, then muttered to himself, "It seems the time is right. I can start releasing a batch of Life Elixirs for trade!"

The materials he had currently stockpiled were enough to manufacture a massive quantity of Life Elixirs.

Unless another survivor happened to have dropped a Life Elixir formula by this point, he essentially held a complete monopoly on the supply.

In other words, Han Xing had once again established a total monopoly over the nearly ten thousand survivors in District 107.

With this thought, Han Xing immediately decided to begin crafting the Life Elixirs and put them up on the trading channel.

In truth, he could have waited a bit longer to whet the appetites of the survivors in District 107.

As casualties mounted, the other survivors' desire for the Life Elixirs would only grow stronger, and to save their own lives, they would be willing to pay an even higher price.

Yet, there was no need for that.

This wasn't out of the goodness of Han Xing's heart, but rather a long-term strategic consideration.

Judging by the current trend, he and the nearly ten thousand survivors of District 107 would likely be coexisting for quite some time.

For Han Xing to maintain this business model, he needed a large number of survivors to help him gather various materials and items.

In short, these survivors in District 107 were nothing more than a workforce of excellent employees in his eyes.

If too many of them died or got injured, he would lose a significant amount of labor for nothing, which would ultimately outweigh the gains.

Thinking of this, Han Xing suddenly chuckled, "I really am far too kind!"

Han Xing sprang up from his two-meter-wide bed and took a leisurely stroll across his thousand-square-meter floating island.

A moment later, Han Xing arrived at his warehouse area and checked the remaining material reserves in his storage chests.

The primary ingredients for crafting a Life Elixir were 100ml of Spirit Spring Water and 10 Spirit Cores.

Currently, he had 800 liters of Spirit Spring Water and 12,464 Spirit Cores remaining.

If he crafted them all, it would yield over 8,000 bottles of Life Elixir.

That sounded like a lot, but distributed among the tens of thousands of people in District 107, it wouldn't even amount to a single bottle per person.

Moreover, his current Spirit Core reserves were only enough to produce a little over 1,200 bottles of Life Elixir.

With that in mind, Han Xing clicked the button to craft all, and the system prompt immediately appeared.

[Do you wish to consume 124,600ml of Spirit Spring Water, 12,460 Spirit Cores, Moonflowers... to craft 1,246 bottles of Life Elixir?]

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, dense progress bars appeared across the crafting interface.

Simultaneously, his private treasury's stockpile of Spirit Cores was instantly wiped clean.

Yet, Han Xing felt not a shred of regret, because he was fully confident that these 1,200-plus bottles of Life Elixir would bring him an even greater return in resources!

Meanwhile, the survivors from Whispering God and the Airplane Boy Group were nearly driven out of their minds with anxiety.

With their leader severely wounded and on the verge of death, and driven by Papaya Spirit's deduction that Han Xing likely possessed healing items, they had spent the entire night bombarding Han Xing with private messages.

However, Han Xing had been fast asleep at the time and paid them no heed.

Seeing that Han Xing was ignoring them, these individuals began frantically tagging him in the chat channel.

"@River of Stars, Great God River of Stars, please show yourself! Our leader is on his deathbed, please save him!"

"@River of Stars, Brother, I'm injured too, I'm begging you!"

"..."

Chat Channel

Right at that moment, Han Xing finally appeared.

He smiled and said, "Everyone, I have seen your requests."

The chat channel fell silent for a brief moment.

Then, an overwhelming wave of messages flooded the screen. They frantically tagged Han Xing, and some even sent voice messages, desperately shouting the name River of Stars.

"Star God, you're finally here! We were driven to the verge of a breakdown waiting for you!"

"Star God, save this child! Haohao cannot live without a father..."

"Star God..."

Countless survivors had been craning their necks in anticipation. Having waited the entire night, they had finally managed to bring Han Xing out. How could they not be excited?

Just then, someone stepped in to curb the frenzy, shouting loudly, "Quiet! Everyone, quiet!"

"Dammit, stop spamming! You're pushing Star God's message out of view. Do you still want to trade for healing items or not?"

That person's words proved highly effective, and the frantic chaos in the chat channel gradually subsided.

Once the screen stopped scrolling wildly, Han Xing continued, "Don't be impatient, everyone. Your guesses are correct; I do indeed have a batch of healing items in my possession. They are called Life Elixirs. As for their effects, judge for yourselves."

Han Xing posted the attributes of the Life Elixir to the channel.

A collective gasp echoed across the chat channel.

"Such a formidable elixir! It can actually heal injuries this severe!"

"Damn, with this elixir, what is there to fear from floating island monsters? I'll turn into a potion-choking berserker and dare to slaughter my way through a horde of monsters for eight hundred rounds!"

Even though it was only a Primary Life Elixir, given the current stage where survivors possessed at most around 20 points of physique, it was more than enough to pull someone back from the brink of death in a short amount of time!

At that moment, someone asked cautiously, "Star God, this batch of Life Elixirs in your hands... are you selling them?"

Han Xing replied, "Selling them? Of course I am."

Everyone collectively let out a sigh of relief.

Then, another person asked, "Star God, when do you plan to put the Life Elixirs up for sale, and as for the price..."

Han Xing smiled. "They won't be listed directly for now. This time, I will be using an auction model to sell the Life Elixirs I have."

"An auction?"

"Yes."

Han Xing answered, "Some of you among us should understand what I mean."

While many were left somewhat bewildered, quite a few felt their hearts skip a beat.

Without beating around the bush, Han Xing explained directly, "There are still over ninety ranking rewards left to be claimed on the leaderboard. In other words, the sooner anyone trades with me, the faster they can defeat the regional boss and claim a reward from the leaderboard."

As his words landed, the regional chat fell silent.

They finally saw Han Xing's true ambition.

Not only had he swept up the top three rewards, but he was now going to manipulate the rewards for the entire top one hundred on the leaderboard!

And Han Xing indeed possessed the capability to do so.

Even the system that established the reward rules probably never expected that a single human survivor would end up manipulating the entire leaderboard.

Currently, the rewards for the top four positions had already been claimed in full.

Even so, there were still 96 reward slots remaining on the leaderboard waiting to be claimed.

More importantly, the top five positions all guaranteed a choice of a blue-grade weapon and equipment!

This meant that there was still one final blue-grade weapon reward left on the territory score leaderboard.

Right at that moment, the Whisperer, who had remained silent for a long time, suddenly jumped out and asked, "River of Stars, is this true?"
