Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Don’t Want to Be Famous

[Fuel Generator]

[Description: An ordinary diesel generator.]

Seraphina Sinclair: "..."

Right then.

Time to go collect some diesel.

[Blacktiger Ford]: Buying diesel at high prices. If you have some, DM me with the quantity and your price. Only diesel, no gasoline. Don’t get it mixed up.

"The Master is pretty active today, huh?"

’This is considered active?’

Seraphina Sinclair shook her head. She still had her own announcement to make soon.

She’d had her eye on the Black Fog Coins in these people’s hands for a long time.

"Hahaha, fortune comes to everyone sooner or later, and today it’s my turn. Master, don’t go! I have some!"

"This stuff isn’t that rare, is it? I have some myself."

"Yeah, don’t think you’re gonna get rich. The Master is just having us name our own prices, and he’ll definitely pick the cheapest one. The Master’s not an idiot."

"You gotta have dreams, right? So... when is the Master going to buy something *I* have?"

"@Above, let me tell you a secret. The Master probably has everything you own."

"What kind of secret is that? Hahaha!"

Regardless of what they were saying, Seraphina Sinclair got what she needed.

She poured the diesel into the workbench. After pouring in just half a drum, the workbench panel already displayed 100%. It seemed to be full.

Seraphina thought for a moment and decided to craft two water filters first. To craft something, she just had to select the schematic and then choose the quantity.

The machine seemed to automatically check her inventory, directly drawing materials from her storage.

And... the time it usually took for materials to be integrated was gone. The workbench completed what Seraphina had set it to do almost instantly.

Two water filters appeared out of thin air next to the workbench, and the energy bar dropped by two points.

In other words, half a drum of fuel could be used to craft 100 items!

"The efficiency is just too high," Seraphina Sinclair murmured to herself as she witnessed it all. "This is a complete game-changer."

On top of that, the most useful function for Seraphina Sinclair was the ability to use Black Fog Coins to substitute for missing materials!

This meant that as long as she met the learning requirements for the Water Dragon Roar schematic, she could use Black Fog Coins to cover any missing materials and force-craft that Divine Weapon!

It was still a long way off, but this was a huge step forward.

Seraphina Sinclair was in a good mood, the smile never leaving her face.

She took out two pieces of sashimi and ate them as a small reward for herself before opening the regional channel to get down to business.

’Since it’s all automated now, I should charge a little less for the processing fee, right?’

’These are all elites who have survived until now. Even if it’s just from selling their unwanted resources, they should have at least fifteen Black Fog Coins, shouldn’t they?’

Yes, Seraphina Sinclair decided to charge a processing fee of Fifteen Black Fog Coins.

She mulled it over for a moment, then typed on the virtual keyboard.

[Blacktiger Ford]: Taking crafting orders. Provide the materials and pay a 15 Black Fog Coin processing fee, and I can craft a Simple Water Filter for you. Today only, first come, first served. DM me with ten Metal Fragments + five pieces of cloth + three activated charcoal! If you’re short on materials, you can substitute with Black Fog Coins at market price. The function of the Simple Water Filter is [linked here], see for yourself if you need one. Also, a Blacktiger production is a quality production.

Seraphina Sinclair decided to add that last sentence to all her future crafting service announcements. It would be her trademark.

She hummed a little tune as she watched the other people’s comments roll in.

"Holy shit?! Crafting services?! Master Blacktiger can even do that?!"

"15 Black Fog Coins! What a conscience! Before, someone was selling a single piece of useless info for 20 Black Fog Coins!"

"And you can even use Black Fog Coins to cover missing materials? The Master is fucking awesome!"

"Already DMed! I’m begging you, Master, please make my water filter first! I’m dying of thirst!"

"Master Blacktiger is the GOAT! I’m going to gather the materials right now!"

Perfect. Business was rolling in.

Seraphina Sinclair didn’t even need to read what those people were saying. On her end, as long as she verified the trade contract and saw that none of the items were missing, she accepted it immediately!

[Trade complete! +15 Black Fog Coins!]

[Trade complete! +15 Black Fog Coins!]

[Trade complete! +15 Black Fog Coins!]

...

That notification sound was simply wonderful.

While busy accepting orders, Seraphina Sinclair still managed to spare some attention to see what was being said in the regional channel.

[Doesn’t-Want-To-Be-Famous]: I’ve actually had this thought for a while, and I really want to say it, but I was always afraid you guys would flame me. Now that Master Blacktiger is offering crafting services, I’ve finally found the courage to speak up.

Seraphina Sinclair: "???"

’Is this right?’

’What are they about to say?!’

Seraphina Sinclair froze for two seconds before she went back to accepting orders. After all, money had to be made.

Before, she had been casually watching the regional channel. Now, she was watching it with intense curiosity.

But... how could this person say one thing and then just go silent?!

Seraphina Sinclair wasn’t the only one thinking this. The regional channel was blowing up.

"If you’re gonna say something, just say it! Say it loud and clear! You can’t just drop one sentence and then disappear! Even a passing dog would have to bark at you for that!"

"WOOF WOOF! WOOF! @#$%&#!"

"??? Are people actually roleplaying as dogs now?"

Seraphina Sinclair: "..."

She was speechless, truly.

In any case, the survivor with the ID "Doesn’t-Want-To-Be-Famous" had, because of that one sentence, become thoroughly famous.

Just as Seraphina Sinclair was about to close the regional channel, that person popped up and posted again.

[Doesn’t-Want-To-Be-Famous]: I didn’t expect so many people to notice... I kind of lost my courage to post again, but then someone threatened me in a DM, saying they’d keep flaming me if I didn’t explain myself, so it scared me into coming back. Sob... Can all you Masters please stop paying attention to me?

’But talking like that is only going to attract more threats and attention, right?’

Although this person was terrified, they at least managed to get out what they wanted to say: "I just... I just feel like Master Blacktiger is a good person who really doesn’t want others to think he’s a good person. That’s it! Nothing more! Can you please stop paying attention to me now?"

’A good person who doesn’t want to be seen as a good person?’

’Is this some kind of tongue twister?’

Seraphina Sinclair: "..."

She was truly silent this time.

’So this is the image they have of me?’

’Do they think my completely self-serving way of doing things is some kind of playing hard-to-get tactic?’

Seraphina Sinclair took a deep breath, her feelings still a complicated mess.

’How did they even arrive at this Evaluation?’

The person in question was curious, and so were the onlookers. As a result, no one was willing to let this socially anxious survivor off the hook.

"What? That makes no sense. What are you even talking about? What’s your reasoning?"

"Your reasons! If you don’t lay it all out, I’m going to follow you around and flame you all day!"

"Doesn’t-Want-To-Be-Famous! Speak up!"

Perhaps because he was being flamed so viciously in his DMs, he finally jumped back in to explain his reasoning.

[Doesn’t-Want-To-Be-Famous]: B-Before, it was because Master Blacktiger was willing to share all that information (personally, I think the little he charged for it was totally harmless, just my opinion! Just my opinion! Please don’t flame me), and then today, he first spoke up for Effortless Master, and now he’s offering to craft water filters. The main point is the water filter...
