The Awkward Trio

Seeing that the two of them didn't even notice him, Meng Lin tactfully didn't go forward to disturb them.

Meng Lin couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he could only wait for them to be done.

Luckily, Tian Yu suddenly noticed that there were other people nearby and quickly kept a distance from Su Bai.

Seeing Tian Yu suddenly take a few steps back, Su Bai was stunned for a moment, then he turned around and saw Meng Lin.

It was a long-awaited reunion for Su Bai. Although Su Bai and Tian Yu had only been separated for a few days, Meng Lin had ruined it.

Su Bai even felt like eating Meng Lin up. He angrily glared at Meng Lin.

That glare almost made Meng Lin decide where to bury himself.

"Good day, Su Bai! Hello, Tian Yu!" Meng Lin greeted them respectfully.

Tian Yu felt embarrassed. The last time Meng Lin had seen her, he thought she was Su Bai's girlfriend. However, it had only been a few days, and it had become true.

Seeing that Meng Lin was coming, Su Bai didn't waste any more time.

"There's one thing I need to do. I have a culture chamber now, and I want to see if these fruits can grow in it. So, you have to hand all the fruits to me first," Su Bai said.

"C-Can I try one first? I haven't eaten any of these fruits since I found them." Meng Lin asked tentatively.

"I've already told you to look for pirates for so many days. Could it be that you haven't seen a single one in these few days?" Su Bai asked in a reproachful tone.

"Su Bai, I can swear to the heavens that I really didn't see a single one! I only found them yesterday. The pirates before that really didn't have anything!" Meng Lin replied with a sincere look.

"Alright, just don't overeat. I can't possibly bring everything back home." Su Bai waved his hand and said.

"By the way, Su Bai. There's one more thing. I noticed that many people have arrived at the Shallow Sea today. The chats were overflowing on the Chat page," Meng Lin said.

"Hmm? Is that so?" Su Bai sounded a little happy.

Su Bai already had a lot of common materials, but he had no place to exchange them for high-level materials.

After opening the Chat page, Su Bai realized that many people had already arrived.

[It can't be true. There are actually pirates here.]

[It's true. I've already been robbed clean by the pirates. I'm going to die.]

[These pirates are so powerful. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here. I should have geared up before coming here.]

[What's the use of saying all this now? It's not like we can still go back. If I could, I would have gone back a long time ago.]

[But it's so strange. Why can't I see your names?]

[Yeah, I just realized it when you mentioned it. Why did everyone suddenly become anonymous?]

[I guess you need to add me as a friend to see it. My friend and I can see each other's names.]

[There's no difference. We won't be able to see each other anyway.]

Su Bai looked at the sudden influx of people. He wasn't paying attention to the pirates they were talking about, but whether these people could get some better blueprints.

"Finally, it's much more lively now that people are here." Su Bai sighed with emotion.

"It's true. It seems that everyone has collected the materials to upgrade their island." Tian Yu also said.

No longer paying attention to the conversation, Su Bai asked Meng Lin to take out all the fruits he had obtained.

There weren't many fruits, just as many as Su Bai had last time.

Su Bai picked out a few and gave some to Meng Lin and Tian Yu, while he took the rest back.

Su Bai had wanted to stay on Tian Yu's island for a while longer, but because of Meng Lin, they couldn't do anything. Even if Meng Lin was not around.

Before Su Bai left, he gave Meng Lin and Tian Yu each the stats elixirs he had made these days.

"Take some of these stats elixirs when you're free. There's nothing wrong with increasing your strength." Su Bai instructed.

Both of them agreed with Su Bai. Besides, with so many stats elixirs, they both suspected that Su Bai had stolen all the stats elixirs from others.

Strength was the thing that needed improvement the most now, so they didn't waste any more time with Su Bai and generously accepted it.

By now, many players had already reached the Shallow Sea region. However, when they first arrived, they all felt a deep sense of regret.

The players had thought that there would be more challenges and more opportunities, but they did not expect that there would be no opportunities at all.

The number of materials the players obtained from fishing every day was the same as before, and they had to be on guard against pirate attacks at all times.

In the past, in the Beginner's Sea area, although the Oanneses were also very annoying, their strength was enough to deal with those F-class Oanneses. But now, in the face of dozens of pirates, they could not simply resist.

As a result, everyone began to understand the value of the stats elixir.

The Shallow Sea wasn't like the Beginner's Sea, where there were many players. Although the price of the stats elixir fragments wasn't cheap, they could still be exchanged.

When faced with such an issue, many players thought of Su Bai at once. After all, Su Bai was always ahead of them by many steps.

On the Chat page.

[Su Bai here? Please sell us some things. Otherwise, we really can't hold on!]

[Yeah, Su Bai is here, but I don't know if he said anything.]

[This chat is really not useful. It's not like before.]

[Why don't we try adding Su Bai as a friend?]

[You're right. But if we all add Su Bai, I'm afraid we'll offend him.]

[What's the big deal? Do you want the pirates to go to your house?]

As soon as these words were out, those who opposed were silent. Some of these players had experienced the terror of the pirates, and some had not seen pirates, but from what they described, they already knew how hateful these pirates were.

[Rather than facing pirates, I'd rather try my luck with Su Bai.]

[When we add Su Bai, we will directly note the reason we want, in case he doesn't approve our request.]

[That's a good idea. Everyone should write together and ask for Su Bai's help.]

After making up their mind, they started to add Su Bai as a friend.

At that moment, Su Bai was still leisurely heading home on the sea.

Suddenly, a series of friend requests popped up, which confused Su Bai.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people adding me as a friend?"
