Chapter 64: Sharing Information Costs Money?

And at this moment, Lin Yifan's private chat channel lit up.

He opened it and saw that it was a message from Chen Yunuo.

"Lin Yifan, thank you for helping everyone, but this is too chaotic; some people might take advantage of the situation and deliberately scam others for supplies, so we still need to plan."

Lin Yifan naturally understood Chen Yunuo's concern; at this critical juncture, if someone really played tricks to scam supplies, who knows how many hearts would turn cold.

Don't think no one would do this; there are conscientious people, but selfish ones are never few.

After thinking, Lin Yifan suddenly remembered that as the district's first person to upgrade to a Level 3 Shelter, he had a privilege: he could check others' Shelter levels.

At this point, those who haven't upgraded to a Level 2 Shelter and also lack Strong Mosquito Repellent have basically all died.

Those still alive who haven't upgraded to a Level 2 Shelter all have Strong Mosquito Repellent in hand.

However, a dose of Strong Mosquito Repellent lasts only two hours; if it cannot be replenished within that time, one still faces a deadly situation.

Now, the quantity of Strong Mosquito Repellent is very limited; Lin Yifan has already handed all of it to Chen Yunuo, who has distributed it, but it's merely a drop in the bucket.

So, to let more people survive, the best approach is to gather basic supplies and enable this group to upgrade their Shelters to Level 2.

In fact, mugwort and mint are scarce on the market, and the supplies people can produce are basically just wood, stone, clay, and other basic supplies.

Therefore, helping those who are still alive but haven't upgraded their Shelters to Level 2 to do so is the only rescue method.

To use these supplies for those truly in need, it's enough to make Shelter information public.

But how to publish the information is the problem.

However, at this moment, a message suddenly appeared on the light screen before Lin Yifan.

【Sensing Lin Yifan, a survivor, intends to share Shelter information, we can offer a paid information-sharing service.】

【Would you like to spend one spirit crystal to share the Shelter ranking information with everyone in the district for one hour?】

Lin Yifan saw this message and couldn't help but stare.

This is truly a case of 'sleepiness meeting a pillow'; he had been worrying about how to publish the information!

He didn't expect a paid sharing feature to exist, though the fee might be too high?

One spirit crystal per hour—earlier, hatching a Golden Eagle only used two spirit crystals.

But there's no other option; even if the district lost many people today, over 60,000 are still alive.

Even if he posted screenshots, how much time would that take?

So, despite the pain, Lin Yifan still spent one spirit crystal and chose to share the information.

However, this isn't enough; if resources aren't unifiedly planned, unnecessary waste is likely.

After thinking again, Lin Yifan sent a message to Chen Yunuo:

"How many core members in your guild can be trusted 100%? If you have enough manpower, I'll have those willing to contribute supplies first trade them uniformly to you; after you tally them, you'll distribute the supplies one by one to those in need."

Chen Yunuo naturally welcomed this; since she dared to form a union, she naturally had some backbone, so she accepted without hesitation:

"No problem; I have about ten core members here, which should be enough to handle this."

"Good! Then I'll leave this to you; I'll go announce it on the chat channel shortly."

Having someone take this on, Lin Yifan couldn't help but sigh in relief; but after thinking, he sent another message to Chen Yunuo:

"Old classmate, although you helped me back in school, this time is different; this is a matter of life and death."

"So I'll put the blunt truth up front: since you've taken this on, do it well, but absolutely don't harbor any ulterior motives; otherwise, I can't answer to the district's people."

As for human nature, Lin Yifan himself can gamble on it, because he can afford to bet and also afford to lose.

But aside from him, most people find gathering supplies difficult; those willing to give them up to save others truly deserve to be called compassionate.

Since Lin Yifan is leading this, he absolutely cannot let that compassion be spoiled by ill-intentioned people.

Otherwise, his own conscience couldn't bear it!

Chen Yunuo obviously also understood the seriousness and immediately replied:

"Rest assured, although I have my own petty thoughts, I can still weigh priorities; this time, anyone willing to hand over supplies for us to allocate will have their information publicly and transparently recorded."

"I've even already planned it: I'll make a donation list, and after the matter ends, I'll publish it so everyone in the district knows who donated supplies!"

Lin Yifan then relaxed and directly initiated a trade with Chen Yunuo.

He had a lot of basic supplies in hand, especially wood and stone, amounting to several thousand units.

Originally, he planned to build a 'Synthesis Room' to combine these basic supplies into intermediate ones, then use them to upgrade to a Level 4 Shelter.

But now!

The blueprint for the Level 4 Shelter hasn't arrived yet, but the supplies aren't urgent.

Upon receiving Lin Yifan's trade, Chen Yunuo was also shocked by his wealth!

She couldn't help but message: "How do you have so many basic supplies?!"

Lin Yifan naturally wouldn't say it was because he has a talent to draw buffs daily; he casually brushed it off:

"Just good luck; hand these supplies to you for distribution, and try to let as many people survive as possible."

Then he went to the chat channel and sent a message:

"Fellow district members, to avoid supply chaos and waste, and also to prevent ill-intentioned people from scamming supplies, I've shared everyone's Shelter information in the district."

"Those we need to rescue now are those whose Shelters haven't reached Level 2, so I've chosen to cooperate with a union, handing over all my idle supplies to them for unified distribution."

"If you trust me, please also hand over your idle supplies to them; they'll tally all supplies, then allocate them as needed to those who require them, with all data published on the chat channel for everyone to supervise."

Lin Yifan didn't know how many people would heed him and donate their supplies to Chen Yunuo for unified allocation.

But having said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done, the rest was beyond his control.
