Kingdom of Corrosion

Under Stone’s encouragement, Shadow managed to hold a meeting every night, wasting Youth away. Lin Wu joined the lively discussion first and then headed to the beach, where everything was pitch black and nothing could be seen. But one could hear the sound of the sea and feel that the sand underfoot was not traditional sand. Even at night, leisure beaches have night lights and bonfires, things that Resource Beach couldn’t match in an instant.

Stone entered the beach, holding a torch and walking up behind Lin Wu: "Look, this is the beach I built for you all."

Lin Wu said, "Stone, although I can’t see it clearly, I think this beach is not a good place."

Stone replied generously, "If you like it, we’ll build another leisure beach. Subtracting the kitchen, there’s one small area left. But how come you’re here at the meeting time?"

Lin Wu said, "The topic of this meeting is on sacrifice. It has no direct connection with me—if I participated, that would be murder."

Stone said, "Yes. Everyone knows that having a player with Trade Skill is important, but trade doesn’t offer any buffs to the player themselves. The tough part is we all think trade is important, but compared to their own skills, everyone feels they could do without trade."

Lin Wu asked, "Is this considered individualism?"

Stone said, "No, of course not, just genuinely believing their own skills are more important. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with individualism. Without self-interest, society wouldn’t develop."
