After setting up the transaction, Richard went straight to rest. He did not expect it to cause such a heated discussion.

At this stage, the novice lords undoubtedly lacked food the most.

Each lord had to support hundreds of people and more.

Once they opened their eyes, these residents would also open their mouths to eat and drink, which was difficult for most lords.

The game “Shining Era” was not a modern-day world where one could buy a few truckloads of rice just by going out.

The most direct way to obtain food was to hunt.

However, hunting was inevitably dangerous, and it could even endanger one’s life. It was a high-risk endeavor.

In these two days, it was already rare for 70% of the people to muster up the courage to explore this unfamiliar world.

And planting, even for seeds like the Russian olive that ripens once a month, required time.

Thus, most people lacked the means to obtain food, and could only barely maintain their territory.

A small number of people with outstanding abilities could not bear to sell too much of the food they obtained.

The small portion that could be used to sell was simply a drop in the bucket for the 20 billion in the [Trading Market].

There were even fewer who were as rich as Richard.

Under the heated discussions of countless people, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Richard woke up.

After Richard washed up, he went to the hall and ate breakfast with two extremely striking kitchen maids. He slowly opened the [Forum Chat].

Two messages popped up in his private mailbox.

[Ding~ You have received a 1-star resource treasure — spring water fragment *1.]

[Ding~ The item you are looking for has been purchased. You have obtained a 1-star resource treasure — spring water *1.]

After a cursory glance, Richard was certain that the Russian olive seed had been discovered…

Then, Richard felt that something was wrong, so he took another look.

He had obtained a 1-star resource treasure — spring water.

There was no suffix like a fragment…

“Someone directly used a treasure like spring water to exchange for 500 units of food?!”

Richard laughed out loud. This was a pure surprise!

Even an Ordinary 1-star treasure was worth at least 2,000 units of meat in Richard’s eyes.

He did not expect the seller to bargain 500 units. Was he waiting for the rice to be cooked?

This unexpected gain made Richard think seriously.

“Next, perhaps I can use the other lords’ early demand to exchange for more good things…”

“Now that I’ve obtained the spring water fragments, there are two more water fragments.

“As long as I obtain another spring water fragment, I’ll have two spring water fragment treasures in my hands. The problem of Twilight City’s water consumption will be solved.”
