Xu Lingqi: "Boss Crow is so rich, can you please have some mercy on me? Give me the tent! I'm sleeping in the open air, don't you have any compassion?"
Cheng Shuili ignored the moral blackmail and those who were just joining in the fun. After looking around at those who were willing to exchange, he found that [Youmao Bingbing]'s price was the most suitable.
She clicked on the private chat box and took the initiative to post a transaction request.
The other party didn't say much. After putting down what they had agreed on, they clicked to agree.
Cheng Shuili put away the things he had traded for and continued on his way while humming a little tune.
After walking for a while, she saw a building in the distance. The appearance of this thing seemed random. The last time Cheng Shuili encountered it was a gas station, so she didn't know what it was this time.
As he walked closer, Cheng Shuili saw a figure standing at the door of the building from afar. The outline of the figure was very strange, and there was a large shadow where the head should be.
Cheng Shuili couldn't help but imagine some strange things in his mind, and his whole body trembled.
She shook her head and said, "I'm just joking. I've died once, so why should I be afraid of ghosts?"
Even if...
Better not.
Cheng Shuili sped up and decided to take a careful look. If something was wrong, he would just run away without stopping. If there was no danger, he would stop and take a look again.
The radio Cheng Shuili was carrying crackled twice, and he suddenly stammered, "Today... Special Offer... Store... Employee ID... Price... Price: 3999 game coins."
"Weekend bonus... The market will open three hours early... at noon... at 12:00... sharp... The coordinates... are two kilometers from your current location..."
"Two kilometers?" Cheng Shuili breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the building in front should be a trading station. Since it was a trading station, there shouldn't be any danger.
So what is that monster...?
Cheng Shuili finally saw the dark shadow clearly. It was a cat's head, a real cat's head, and it was furry.
Everything was normal except for the head. The strange man was wearing a white shirt, a tie, and a pair of straight trousers. Even his leather shoes were polished to a shine.
This outfit is very similar to the etiquette that Cheng Shuili had seen in his previous life, the kind where you get paid 100 yuan for standing at the door for a day.
The signboard of the trading station looks a bit old, as if it has been open for many years. It is surrounded by iron nets, and the stalls inside can be seen through the gaps in the iron nets.
In front of the open door stood the strange man with a cat head.
The only way to get in seems to be to pass by that cat-headed monster.
Cheng Shuili broke out in a cold sweat and carefully stopped the shopping cart. She was determined to go in and take a look.
Let's not talk about whether she has money or can buy things. What if the first person to enter the trading station also has achievements and is rewarded with a silver treasure chest? Cheng Shuili is not willing to miss it!
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!
If you want to live a decent life, you have to take a few risks!
Having made up his mind, Cheng Shuili gripped the baseball bat tightly and carefully put the poisoned dagger at his waist. He took it out to make sure it was handy before putting it down in the shopping cart.
The cat-headed monster's eyes instantly locked onto her. Seeing her getting closer, he suddenly spoke in human language, "You are not allowed to bring weapons into the trading station."
"Ah? Ah!" Cheng Shuili almost jumped up. She saw with her own eyes that the cat's mouth moved, and then human words came out of it!
That's what people say!
"You ugly human being who is always surprised by something rare." The cat-headed monster seemed to notice her surprise, rolled his eyes and complained.
Cheng Shuili: "...?"
Cheng Shuili returned to the shopping cart and stuffed the baseball bat back into it. She was cautious and did not take out the dagger. She hid it well, and her coat completely covered the dagger, so the cat-headed monster would definitely not be able to see it.
As for the ugliness...
Cheng Shuili curled his lips. How could monsters' aesthetic taste be the same as humans'? What if they just like the hairy kind?
The kind where the whole face is covered with hair.
Cheng Shuili was disgusted by the image he had imagined in his mind and immediately shook his head to get rid of the idea.
She turned around and prepared to go into the trading station, deliberately walking as far away from the cat-headed monster as possible.
The cat-headed monster suddenly stopped her and said, "This is my first warning. You are not allowed to bring weapons into the trading station. If you still don't repent after three warnings..."
The cat-headed monster had a human-like expression on its cat face, and it opened its mouth fiercely, obviously with the intention of intimidating others.
Cheng Shuili smiled awkwardly, "It doesn't take three times. I'm different from everyone else you've met. I'm an honest person. I just forgot. Okay, I'll put it back now."
Cheng Shuili took out the dagger and threw it back into the shopping cart.
It was really scary. Not only did it not search her body, it didn't even look at Cheng Shuili for a second, but it easily identified that she was carrying a weapon.
Is this the strength of NPC?
Maybe it's some setting.
Cheng Shuili was somewhat interested, and having confirmed that the strange man wouldn't attack, she didn't rush in. Instead, she stood beside the strange man and asked, "Hello, hello?"
The weirdo didn't say anything, and Cheng Shuili wasn't embarrassed. She introduced herself, "My name is Cheng Shuili. I'm a human, female, in my twenties. I'm considered quite young for a human. Are you working?"
The cat-headed monster snorted coldly, surveyed her body critically, and turned his head away, saying, "My name is Mao Ning. I'm 132 years old, which is quite young even for an orc."
"Also, don't talk to the guards. First warning."
Cheng Shuili: "…"
OK, she just shut up.
Cheng Shuili turned and walked into the trading station. This time Mao Ning did not stop her.
Although Mao Ning didn't say much, Cheng Shuili also got a lot of information.
A new race, the Orcs, have no offensive intentions towards the player and appear to be acting as NPCs.
And his life span seems to be very long. After all, he is still working at the age of 132. It would be too pitiful if his life span was not long.
Cheng Shuili looked back and saw that Mao Ning's cat head was pure white. It was hard to tell whether it was because he was a white cat or because it had turned white due to age.
But... maybe orcs' hair doesn't change color as they age?
This thing was meaningless to Cheng Shuili. She shook her head and didn't think about it too much.
There are many stalls in the trading station, most of which are roadside stalls, behind which stand orcs with animal heads.
Behind the stalls spread out in a row was a magnificent business. On the plaque were written the equally golden characters: "Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce."
When these orcs saw Cheng Shuili coming in, they all looked eager and greeted her in human language.
"Little girl, come and take a look at my place. We cats never sell low-quality food. We have all kinds of cakes and desserts."
"Come buy my stuff! I have all kinds of building materials and tools here. If you have any problems with your car, come here to buy tools. Look for our bear stall!"Come and see what I have! Come and see what I have! The carrots and vegetables at our Bunny stall are the healthiest! And they're very cheap, one carrot is only ten game coins!"
Cheng Shuili didn't say anything. Not to mention ten game coins, she didn't even have a penny on her.
But it's free, right? Cheng Shuili walked to the front of the rabbit stall. Several kinds of vegetables were neatly arranged on a cloth, including radish, cabbage, spinach, etc.
It looked lush green, with a few drops of water on it, making it look exceptionally fresh! Unfortunately, Cheng Shuili couldn't cook, and he didn't have any game coins, so he couldn't eat it even if he wanted to.
Further ahead was a fox orc's stall. Seeing Cheng Shuili, he enthusiastically introduced himself: "Hey, man, haven't you seen the right product yet? Come and take a look at mine! We, the fox family, sell fast food. It's a hundred times more convenient than what the rabbit sells."
He forced a sly smile. "But the price...it's definitely a bit more expensive than the rabbit! Look, since you're our first customer, we'll give you a discount."
Cheng Shuili stopped at the stall, pointed at the instant noodles and asked, "How much is this per pack?"
"Not much!" The fox orc held up two fingers. "That's it!"
Cheng Shuili pondered for a moment, "Twenty game coins?"
"This thing of mine is a hundred times better than the rabbit! How can it be so cheap? It's two hundred!"
Cheng Shuili frowned and turned away. What a profiteer! Twenty is almost right, but he wants two hundred!
"Hey, don't go!"
Cheng Shuili ignored his call. The trading station had everything she needed, and they were all very good. Unfortunately, she didn't have any game coins on her.
But it's free to go shopping.
Cheng Shuili walked into the magnificent Wanshou Trading Company, and a dog orc wearing a black vest immediately came forward to greet her.
"Dear guest, what do you need to buy? We have a wide range of products at Wanshou Trading Company! Spend 2,000 game coins and you will become a Level 1 VIP! Spend 4,000 and you will become a Level 2 VIP! Spend 100,000 and you will become a Level 3 VIP!"
"Level 1 VIPs get a 10% discount on purchases at our store! Level 2 gets 20% off! Level 3 gets 40% off!"
Cheng Shuili nodded, took the news he said to heart, and pretended to have money on him and said, "I'll just take a stroll first, you don't have to follow me."
"Okay." The dog orc nodded and went down.
Cheng Shuili walked forward a few steps. There were a wide variety of goods on the counters on both sides, including everything for food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, the prices were much more expensive than those at the stalls outside.
In the middle was a card. Cheng Shuili leaned over to take a look and found that it was the store employee ID mentioned on the radio.
Cheng Shuili was just looking around casually at first, as she couldn't afford it anyway, but when she accidentally glanced at the price list, she was surprised.
What was written on it was not 3999 as broadcast on the radio, but a big 0!
BUG!
I don't know if there are any useful bugs!
Cheng Shuili's heart was filled with excitement. She guessed that game coins should also be a kind of virtual currency. Since it is a system currency, payment should be made with the system!
In other words, there is a chance that she might get something for free!
Cheng Shuili immediately went to find the dog orc and pointed at the store employee ID and asked, "I want to buy this."
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you right away!"
The dog orc picked up the card very carefully, and seemed to want to pack it up directly.
Cheng Shuili quickly said, "No need, I'll pay now."
When the dog orc heard this, he immediately realized that this was a big customer. The employee card would cost 3999 game coins. If the order was successful, he could get a 10% commission, a total of 400 game coins!
His heart was burning with passion, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Shuili also became hot. This wasn't just an ugly human being; he was simply the God of Wealth!
He led Cheng Shuili straight to the shopping counter. The cashier was an orc with an elephant head. She pinched the store employee ID and tapped an instrument. The amount was immediately displayed on the screen next to her.
[You are about to purchase a store employee ID card. You need to pay 0 game coins. Do you want to pay? ]
Great, it's also system-operated!
This BUG suddenly became great!
Cheng Shuili clicked "Yes", and after the system flashed for a moment, a new page popped up.
[Transaction successful.]
[You have obtained the first-level VIP qualification of the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce! 10% off all supplies! ]
[Store Employee Card: Use this to gain Orc NPC status, allowing you to enter any Orc town! Also opens a quick sale channel, allowing you to exchange unwanted supplies for in-game currency!]
Cheng Shuili held the card tightly, nodded to the elephant orc and the dog orc with a smile, turned around and walked out of Wanshou Trading Company slowly.
As soon as she walked out of the main door, she ran back to the shopping cart as if she was escaping.
The dog orc frowned at her movements and asked, "Why is this guest running so fast?"
The elephant orc also frowned, carefully examined the screen for a moment, and confirmed that the payment had been successful. He also scratched his head in confusion: "Yes, he paid and then ran so fast?"
"You can't leave without paying, and the cat guarding the door is no pushover."
The dog orc watched Cheng Shuili leave, and guessed in his heart that this might be a special hobby of human guests. After all, Cheng Shuili was his first human customer.
Don't say...it's really easy to do business with humans.
The dog orc watched Cheng Shuili get in the shopping cart and drive away, then he realized something was wrong. "She paid?"
The elephant beastman looked confused and said, "I've paid it."
The dog orc slammed the table and said, "Where's the sound of the money?"
When he was doing business with the orcs before, every time a transaction was successful, he would remember the sound of money rolling in. That was the sound of the game coins arriving! "Where are my 3999 game coins? There are 400 of them!"
The elephant orc continued scratching his head. "Why rush? My 40 is still inside! There might be a delay in the transaction with humans."
"Really?"
"Probably."
Cheng Shuili walked forward with the shopping cart, his heart beaming with joy. He had made a small fortune!
She pinched the card and chose to use it. The system reminded her:
[You have obtained the status of an orc! ]
[You have obtained the selling permission! ]
Cheng Shuili nodded with satisfaction. It was really a fruitful harvest!
She didn't know that after she left, the two orcs sat facing each other, counting the accounts with their heads supported all night, but they still couldn't figure out where the 3999 game coins she paid went.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Shuili successfully completed today's itinerary.
She didn't stop. The big prize she had been dreaming of was right in front of her. Who would give up now?
It was a bit boring to drive all the time, so she turned on the regional channel to see what everyone was talking about.
I didn't expect that when I clicked in, I would see the latest news about [Glory Shining on the Blue Planet].
[Glory Shines on the Blue Planet]: It is best to stop and explore any buildings you encounter on the road. Currently, there are four types of buildings that we know of.Glory Shines on the Blue Planet]: The first type is a gas station. I've only seen abandoned ones so far, and treasure chests will randomly spawn inside. The second type is a trading station, where orc NPCs sell goods. The currency required is in-game coins, but it's not clear how to obtain them.
Cheng Shuili had seen both buildings and had even been inside them. She narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Guanghui's next message.
[Glory Shines on the Blue Planet]: The third type is a garbage station, which is filled with garbage, but you can find useful materials or food by searching through it, and the system will prompt you. The last type is an orc town, which has a lot of things inside, but it's not clear how to enter.
Cheng Shuili looked at the message and thought.
She had never encountered a garbage station or an orc town, but she already had the qualifications to enter an orc town.
As for this brilliance, Cheng Shuili pondered for a moment. There must be a huge team behind it, gathering everyone's information together, analyzing and organizing the most concise information, and finally releasing it under the illumination of this brilliance.
This process...
Cheng Shuili has already confirmed that this person must be an official.
As more and more people see the message, the new messages push this message up.
Cheng Shuili noticed one with his sharp eyes.
[Eat some fine bran]: Like, like, this is a real boss, unlike some bosses who hide things! It's simply too great! With the news of the boss, we can avoid many detours!
[Baiyao]: Exactly! I'm calling out some of the big guys who've been publicly announced. They haven't made any contributions at all, and their lives are just a waste of air! They hide their good stuff for fear that we might see it.
This is a bit like naming names.
The only person who was announced was Cheng Shuili.
After this message was sent, the rest of the conversation changed, and the regional channel was immediately filled with condemnation. It was as if Cheng Shuili had dug up these people's ancestral graves just because he hadn't shared anything.
Cheng Shuili is not a good-tempered person. She used to have a good temper, but that was in the past. The moment she saw Bai Yao's words, Cheng Shuili felt a surge of anger.
When she looked at the channel again, someone she knew had already replied on her behalf.
[Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai]: If they're not buddies, then let me be frank. What does it have to do with you whether they say it or not? It's a matter of affection or not, and you're using moral blackmail on this?
It makes sense, but it's too reasonable.
Not cool enough.
Cheng Shuili kept in mind the motto of a teacher in his previous life: if you say dirty words, your heart will be clean, but if you swallow the dirty words, your heart will be dirty.
[Crow on a Plane]: Who are you mad at? You're on a red-eye flight because you can't find any supply boxes. If you have time to fart here, why not take a walk? Don't starve to death. If you stink in this damn place, no one will come to pick you up.
[Bai Yao]: I'm talking about you, what can you do to me?
Cheng Shuili looked up and saw that apart from twisting the handle and checking from time to time to see if there was a treasure chest, there was nothing else to do.
This bastard has walked into her trap.
Cheng Shuili sneered.
She flexed her fingers, and the system's virtual keyboard appeared in mid-air with her thought, even with one hand. Question anything, but don't question a programmer's hand speed!
Since someone is looking for trouble, Cheng Shuili doesn't mind giving the other person a mental education.
[Crow on a Plane]: I can smell the sour stench of your breath even through the internet cable. You're just unlucky enough not to find a supply box, so you're just biting like a mad dog? Did your mother throw away your body when she gave birth to you, and let the placenta raise you?
More than a dozen messages of onlookers instantly exploded on the public channel.
[Join the fun]: Damn it! They're arguing!
[Selling things]: Set up a stall to sell grilled sausages, like it and get one for free!
[Strawberry Hard Candy]: Damn it, Crow Boss!
Baiyao was obviously irritated and responded even faster.
[Baiyao]: Are you fucking sick? What's wrong with me saying a few words to you?
[Baiyao]: What's the matter? What else can you do except endure it for me?
Cheng Shuili didn't even give him a chance to organize his words, and the second paragraph had already been sent.
[Crow on a Plane]: What the hell, you little bastard, what can you say? I see your ID says you're a medic, how come you can't even cure your brain damage? Do you want me to give you two bandages to wrap around your brain that's leaking your IQ?
A string of "hahahaha"s floated across the channel.
[Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai]: The boss is really good at speaking, and his hand speed is so fast, he is simply my mouth substitute!
[Eat some fine bran] suddenly interrupted: Boss, calm down, he is just jealous that you were announced by the system and that you have a lot of supplies.
Cheng Shuili caught a glimpse of this conciliatory message and his hands kept moving.
[Crow on a Plane]: The one upstairs who eats chaff, is he enjoying being a fence-sitter? Do you think I don't understand? You're the one who started this whole thing. Are you a rag who rubs wherever there's dirt?
[Baiyao]: Damn it! Tell me your real name if you dare! I'll challenge you to a duel sooner or later!
The virtual keyboard emitted a faint blue light, and Cheng Shuili's mouth curled up in a cruel arc.
This kind of people are like this. If they can't win an argument online, they will threaten to use violence. In reality, they dare not take any action. They just talk big.
So Cheng Shuili deliberately slowed down his typing speed, sending each message three seconds apart:
[Crow on a Plane]: One on one? With your hand speed?
[Crow on a Plane]: It took half a minute after I scolded you just now for you to utter these words?
[Crow on a Plane]: If Alzheimer's disease strikes early, remember to go to the emergency room in the orc town.
[Crow on a Plane]: But with your IQ, you probably can't even find the door.
[Crow on a plane]: If you can't afford to live, I suggest you die early. Living is a waste of air.
After returning Bai Yao's words with the last sentence, Cheng Shuili felt relieved in his heart. The man seemed to have realized the reality. Cheng Shuili waited for a few minutes but still received no reply.
For a moment, no one spoke on the regional channel.
Cheng Shuili sneered and threw out the last sentence.
[Crow on a plane]: Stupid X.
[Crow on a Plane]: I would like to advise everyone to use your brain before speaking. Instead of taking the time to move forward, you might as well walk forward and find some supplies.
The entire regional channel was silent, and the several IDs that had been following the sarcastic tone were all silent.
Cheng Shuili looked at the deterrent effect he had created with satisfaction. Just as he was about to close the interface, a private message suddenly popped up.
[Glory Shining on the Blue Planet]: Can you register in the Orc town? Have you been in?
Cheng Shuili narrowed his eyes. This man could no longer sit still.
However, this was purely her guess. If there really was a hospital in this road survival game, it could only be in the orc town.
But Cheng Shuili did have a lot of information that the official authorities didn't know about. She wasn't interested in simply making contributions, but selling information...
[Crow on a Plane]: What's in it for me?
[Glory Shines on the Blue Planet]: My friend, don't be so narrow-minded. Every piece of information you contribute now has the potential to save countless lives.Oh, I want to get something for free.
Cheng Shuili sneered. To put it bluntly, other people don't care about her business. She doesn't want to be a selfless saint in the end times.
But she is not cold-blooded. As long as Guanghui shows some sincerity, Cheng Shuili will be happy to make some contribution to everyone.
But if you want to get it for free, that would be embarrassing.
Cheng Shuili did not reply to the message.
I twisted the handle, hummed a little tune, and walked forward leisurely. Today was a huge gain. After having the radio for so many days, it finally worked!
Cheng Shuili's BUG physique did not hold him back either, it's really a coincidence!
If you draw good talents at the beginning, you will live a happy life without worries.
Cheng Shuili suddenly felt confused. She had never seen anyone mention the word "talent" in the regional channel, let alone seen a player with elemental talent.
Even if everyone has to hide their talents, some players with talents that can directly generate water should also take out some water to sell, right?
Cheng Shuili suddenly felt a little confused, but a guess came to his mind...
It can't be that this BUG physique is a BUG itself, right?
Cheng Shuili shook her head and threw these thoughts out of her mind. There was no point in thinking about them. She would never mention her talent to anyone else anyway.
Just live a good life.
Cheng Shuili smiled slightly, his eyes curved down, and he looked warm and peaceful.
Unfortunately, people always encounter people who spoil their fun.
After walking for a while, Cheng Shuili saw an electric tricycle parked in front of him. It was not parked on the side of the road, but parked horizontally in the middle of the road.
There was a woman squatting nearby, tinkering with a tire.
Hearing the sound, the man leaned out holding the electric tricycle and looked at Cheng Shuili eagerly: "You're just in time! Hello! Can you fix cars? My car won't move for some reason. Can you help me take a look?"
Cheng Shuili originally wanted to drive away directly, but the woman took a few quick steps and stood on Cheng Shuili's side, obviously not wanting Cheng Shuili to leave directly.
"Um, my name is Lin Mo. Can you help me take a look? Okay? I haven't finished running today's mileage yet. If I don't finish it, I don't know what kind of punishment the system will impose. Please help me!"
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Mo, who was standing in the middle of the road. Lin Mo had a sincere smile on his face and looked like he really needed her help.
"I can't fix cars."
Cheng Shuili said lightly, his hand quietly reaching for the dagger at his waist.
Lin Mo didn't seem to notice her little movement. He continued to take two steps forward, his tone becoming more urgent: "Please, just help me take a look! I really have no other choice. There is not even a single person in this damn place. I finally met you..."
Cheng Shuili's shopping cart slowly stopped, but she did not get out immediately. Instead, she kept herself ready to accelerate at any time.
She stared at Lin Mo and suddenly smiled.
If someone is seeking death, shouldn't she help him?
"What happened to your car?"
When Lin Mo saw her stop, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He quickly pointed at his electric tricycle and said, "I wonder if there's something wrong with the battery. It suddenly stopped responding. Can you help me check the wiring?"
Are you fiddling with the tires by looking at the lines?
Don't these people do a thorough draft before they come out to cheat people?
Cheng Shuili nodded, but remained seated in the shopping cart. "Step back a couple of steps. I'll get off and take a look."
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, but still stepped back as he was told.
Cheng Shuili then slowly jumped off the bike, her left hand resting on the dagger at her waist. She walked over to the electric tricycle, pretending to look down to inspect it, but in reality, she was observing Lin Mo's every move out of the corner of her eye.
Lin Mo's eyes became sharp, and his hand quietly reached behind him.
"Your car..." Cheng Shuili started at the right moment, deliberately dragging out his words, and then suddenly looked up, "Did you park here on purpose?"
Lin Mo's expression changed, and he suddenly pulled out a machete from behind him, grinning grimly: "Smart, but it's too late!"
She swung her knife at Cheng Shuili, but Cheng Shuili was prepared and dodged it easily by turning sideways. At the same time, she pulled out her dagger and stabbed Lin Mo in the abdomen with her backhand.
Lin Mo obviously didn't expect her reaction to be so quick. She could only dodge in a hurry, but her clothes were still torn.
"you!"
Lin Mo was shocked and angry, and raised his knife to chop down again in disbelief.
Cheng Shuili sneered and stopped holding back.
Her agility far surpassed that of ordinary people, and she could even be said to be in a leading position! Lin Mo's attack seemed to be in slow motion in her eyes!
After Cheng Shuili easily dodged the attack, he kicked Lin Mo's knee.
Lin Mo knelt on the ground in pain, and the machete flew out of his hand.
"With this little skill, you dare to imitate others and rob people?" Cheng Shuili stepped on the machete with one foot, and the dagger was pressed against Lin Mo's neck. "Tell me, which one am I?"
Lin Mo's face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you kill me, the system won't give you much supplies!"
Cheng Shuili raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It seems you are very experienced."
Lin Mo looked fearless and said, "I know a lot of information. If you kill me like this, it will definitely be a loss for you!"
"And there are supplies! If you kill me outright, you can only get a portion, or even a small portion. But if you spare my life, I'm willing to give you all my supplies! Just leave the car to me and let me go."
Lin Mo is full of confidence. She has deceived many people with this set of rhetoric. If she wins, she will kill the opponent directly. If she loses, she will admit defeat immediately, giving the opponent the illusion that she has won!
Here, material things mean better conditions and a better life. Under the temptation of more material things, everyone is greedy, and almost no one will disagree!
Lin Mo sneered in his heart. The more proud a person is, the more complacent he becomes, and the more careless he becomes!
And what Lin Mo was waiting for was negligence! She was like a dormant monster, waiting for the enemy to relax and deliver a fatal blow!
But Lin Mo forgot that she is also a human being.
The continuous success also made her proud, and her overconfident tone made Cheng Shuili realize that there was something wrong.
Who, with a knife at their neck, would not be afraid or beg for mercy, and even negotiate with the person holding the knife without fear?
Either he has a backup plan or he has a backup plan. This kind of person must not be kept alive!
Either this person is determined and will become a great man in the future, or he must not be kept!
Cheng Shuili has made his decision.
She shook her head, a cruel smile on her face: "You are going to kill me, how can I let you go?"
"I can subdue you, so I will kill you. If you can subdue me, I will also be willing to admit defeat. Right or wrong does not matter to me. If you want to say something, go and tell the King of Hell."
Lin Mo's eyes suddenly widened. She realized that the car had overturned and opened her mouth to say something, but Cheng Shuili did not give her another chance.
Her eyes remained slightly dilated, but they could no longer shrink.
[Kill player Lin Mo and obtain 25% of player Lin Mo's supplies.]
[Today's number of players killed: 2.]
[Break through the historical limit and achieve mastery: Without the unfamiliarity of the first time, how can there be mastery the second time? You are a lucky survivor who survived two battles!]Cheng Shuili smiled. This time he only got 25% of the supplies, but it was almost the same as Li Erqiang's. Obviously, Lin Mo had killed quite a few people before.
The great Xiao Cheng has eliminated harm for the people again.
Cheng Shuili sighed as he sorted out the supplies, thinking that this was indeed a way to get rich quickly.
Lin Mo's electric tricycle did not disappear. In addition, there were a lot of materials and a small amount of food, as well as some clothes for men and women.
These are clearly the victims' belongings.
The clothes opened in the supply box will automatically correspond to the player's height and weight. There are only men's and women's styles, and they are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter.
After finishing the sorting, Cheng Shuili did a statistics. There were a total of: 8 iron blocks, 13 iron nails, 3 glasses, 2 insulation materials, 5 wires, 1 winter women's clothing of the right size, 4 clothes of the wrong size, 5 compressed biscuits, and 10 500ml mineral waters.
There is also an electric tricycle.
Before, Cheng Shuili could only stare at this thing, but now, Cheng Shuili took out the store employee ID card he bought with the card bug and issued commands to the electric tricycle according to the instructions.
[Electric tricycle x1, 99% new, a rare find in Orc Town! However, since it consumes batteries, it's also a rare find in Orc Town, so the price is significantly discounted. Selling for 32 game coins. Want to sell?]
Cheng Shuili: "?"
She thought she could sell it for a high price, but who knew the system would take an unexpected turn.
If you want to lower the price, just say it directly, why are you beating around the bush?
Cheng Shuili: "For sale."
Even a mosquito is still meat, and she can't take it away. She had tried just now, and the vehicle couldn't be traded.
As a result, the only way to obtain a vehicle is to kill someone, and the only way to replace a vehicle is to kill someone and then rob them.
The system is really... sinister.
32 game coins arrived, and the column on the system page was finally not 0. Cheng Shuili smiled and continued to move forward without stopping. Leaderboard, leaderboard, must be on the leaderboard, must have a treasure chest!
Otherwise, wouldn't all her hard work on the journey be in vain?
After a few days of walking, the battery level of the shopping cart finally dropped below 100. Cheng Shuili had already traded the battery with someone else and was just waiting to replace it when it was completely out of power.
Suddenly, a message came from the system.
Cheng Shuili opened the chat page and the person who sent the message was [Glory Shining on the Blue Star].
[Glory Shining on the Blue Planet]: We have discussed that we can exchange supplies with you, but we don't have much, so we hope you can make more concessions.
Cheng Shuili curled up the corners of his mouth. It might not be much for one person, but with so many people gathered together, if he still said it was not much, he would be a bit modest.
[Crow on a Plane]: I need twenty-five pieces of vehicle upgrade material fragments.
[Crow on a Plane]: I have two pieces of information. The first is how to enter the orc town, and the second is a way to obtain game coins.
Cheng Shuili shrugged and continued.
[Crow on a Plane]: You can choose one.
[Glory Shining on the Blue Planet]: What about the other one?
[Crow on a Plane]: The other one wants 50 pieces.
Cheng Shuili narrowed his eyes, carefully stopped the car and opened a wooden treasure chest, which contained only two pieces of iron.
She picked up the iron block, put it away, and returned to the shopping cart.
After all, these two messages are, in essence, the same thing, because they both point to the same thing: the store employee ID card.
If you want to get a store employee card, you need to buy it in the store for 3999 game coins. To get game coins, you need a store employee card to sell supplies.
It's a perfect closed loop.
The second message is, to put it bluntly, useless.
One message sold for 75 fragments, which is worth it.
Cheng Shuili guessed that there must be other ways to obtain game coins, but no one has discovered it yet.
The person on the other end of the screen stood up, staring blankly at the message, not responding hastily to Cheng Shuili's message. Within the organization, Zhao Hong was merely a spokesperson; the real decision-makers were others.
He immediately reported the news and waited anxiously for a reply.
This time, he was particularly anxious.
No matter which of these two pieces of news it is, it will have a huge impact on them.
He had seen with his own eyes all kinds of things in the trading station. If he could get game coins, the difficulty of the game would be greatly reduced!
But orc towns are an urgent need!
Cheng Shuili said he could go in and register. Everyone gets sick sometimes. He was always terrified to take medicine on his own. If he had a hospital, his life would be safe.
Zhao Hong suddenly felt fortunate that he was just a spokesperson. If he were to make the decision, he would probably be overwhelmed by now.
Moreover, [Crow on a Plane] is a patient person who will never speak unless he sees something beneficial.
If the higher-ups still intend to use that ambiguous attitude to prevaricate, I'm afraid they'll be in trouble this time.
After about ten minutes, the discussion finally came to a conclusion.
Zhao Hong stared at the reply on the screen, his brow furrowed. The organization ultimately decided to exchange 25 fragments for the first piece of information: how to enter the orc town.
As for the second way of obtaining game coins, they decided to put it on hold for the time being. After all, 50 fragments was a considerable number for them, and everyone had done their best to collect 25 pieces.
Zhao Hong took a deep breath and replied to Cheng Shuili.
[Glory Shines on the Blue Planet]: We choose the first message. 25 fragments are ready. How to trade?
When Cheng Shuili saw the news, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
[Crow on a Plane]: Just send a gift directly, and I will tell you the complete news.
I still have some trust in Zhao Hong.
Judging from the way he was arguing with others in the regional channel, he should be a straightforward person.
"You received a gift from player [Glory Shining Blue Star]: 25 vehicle upgrade material fragments."
Cheng Shuili smiled and his fingers moved on the virtual keyboard.
"To enter the Orc Town, you need a store employee ID. It's a friendly gift. This item costs 3999 game coins and can be purchased at Wanshou Commercial Bank."
The transaction was completed. Zhao Hong looked at the message and his expression instantly became complicated.
"This..." he muttered to himself, "3999 game coins? We don't even know how to get them!"
The organization immediately exploded.
"She's playing tricks on us?!" Someone sent this message to Zhao Hong angrily.
"No, this news is definitely true." Zhao Hong shook his head, "But she deliberately concealed the most crucial part: how to obtain game coins."
"The second message..."
"It's the way to get game coins." Zhao Hong smiled bitterly. "She knew we would choose the first option, so she deliberately split it up and sold it separately."
Everyone was silent.
Cheng Shuili's move directly put them in a dilemma.
Either you pay another 50 fragments in exchange for the second message, or you figure it out on your own, but time waits for no one.This way, they will have to pay a higher price.
Cheng Shuili collected the fragments and continued on his way happily.
She had long guessed that the official would choose the first message. After all, "How to enter the orc town" sounded more direct and useful.
But they will soon discover that without in-game currency, the message means nothing.
Then, they can only go back to look for her.
And she can ask for her own price.
Cheng Shuili was in a good mood and twisted the handle all the way to the bottom.
It is best to use up the battery of the shopping cart before dark so that you won't waste time upgrading the vehicle.
Cheng Shuili hummed a little tune as he walked along.
Oddly enough, after she made up her mind to hurry on, no more treasure chests appeared along the way. It was as if the heavens were obeying her wishes.
It was not until dusk that Cheng Shuili finally stopped the car.
There's no way, it's too dangerous to travel at night.
Although those monsters still won't attack the players, every time it gets dark, they will get closer to the vehicle. They are so densely packed together that it feels oppressive and looks very scary.
Cheng Shuili squatted next to the shopping cart and put the 25 fragments together as he did last time, and once again obtained vehicle upgrade materials.
Electric shopping cart upgrade plan from level 2 to level 3:
1. Vehicle upgrade material x1, iron block x10, iron nails x40, insulation material x2, insulation material x2, plastic x4, rubber x2, wire x1.
2. Vehicle Upgrade Material x1, Vehicle Upgrade Core x1.
This time the materials needed are twice as much as last time, and there is an extra wire.
In this way, more and more materials will be used in the future.
Cheng Shuili decided to use the first one to upgrade. Upgrading from level 2 to level 3 is not an important node, and the probability of getting another silver box reward is very small, so he can take it slowly.
Although the first vehicle upgrade core was a bit of a waste, it still won the first place in the entire server, so it can be said that it was put to good use!
Cheng Shuili thought about it and picked out the necessary materials. She had everything she needed. After arranging everything, she clicked on the upgrade button.
This upgrade takes ten minutes.
Cheng Shuili was very patient. She supported her chin and waited quietly.
Ten minutes later, the upgrade was complete.
The appearance of electric shopping carts has changed again.
The original cabin has doubled in size, with a steering wheel and foot brake added to the driver's seat. It looks like it has nothing to do with an electric shopping cart anymore.
The roof is flat and tidy, there are more storage compartments on both sides of the body, and the windshield has been upgraded to a double-layer, which is both soundproof and safe.
What surprised Cheng Shuili the most was that there was a simple kitchen area inside the carriage, equipped with a small induction cooker and a mini refrigerator.
There is also a small socket on the side, and the batteries can be replaced under the wall partition!
Only then did Cheng Shuili understand why electric wires were needed this time!
[Congratulations to player Cheng Shuili, your vehicle has been successfully upgraded! Current level: Level 3.]
The vehicle's storage capacity has been expanded to 500kg, and its top speed has been increased to 60km/h.
Cheng Shuili was a little excited. Although the refrigerator was empty, with it, the problem of preserving fresh food would be solved in the future.
Although the power of the induction cooker is not high, it is more than enough to cook noodles or heat up dishes.
"This is really a step up!" she couldn't help but sigh.
Open the upgrade page to check the number of fragments required next time.
125.
Cheng Shuili: "?"
125?!
Why don't you just go grab it? It's increased by 100 yuan!
Cheng Shuili got these 25 pieces by extortion. It is hard to imagine that he accumulated 125 pieces by accumulation.
Cheng Shuili shook his head, sighed, and smiled bitterly as he looked at the vehicle that was completely different from before.
Just laugh it off.
She's already way ahead.
As night fell, Cheng Shuili locked the car door, lay on the upgraded sofa, and watched the regional channel with a bit of showing off.
Today's chat was still lively, with some showing off the supplies they had obtained, some complaining about the monsters they encountered, and others discussing how to form a team.
She wanted to post something on the regional channel, but after thinking it over, she decided not to.
It's better not to be too ostentatious.
Make a fortune in silence!
Cheng Shuili planned to turn off the regional channel and cook something. Although her cooking skills were not very good, she did not have high requirements for food.
As long as it's edible.
Just as she was about to click close, she saw a message from an acquaintance.
[Strawberry Hard Candy]: If anyone has the antidote, please buy it at a high price.
[Strawberry Hard Candy]: If anyone has the antidote, I will exchange it for all my supplies.
He sent several messages in a row.
Cheng Shuili looked through his supplies. Medicines were always a rare commodity. He had never even seen the most basic antipyretics or painkillers, let alone antidotes.
[Red Panda]: Who has that thing?
[iCai XiaogaoShou]: Brother, can you tell me why we need an antidote? Share it with everyone.
[Strawberry Hard Candy]: I got bit by a monster in a box, and the wound turned purple. After getting hurt, I consumed supplies to get a system analysis of my condition, and the system recommended taking an antidote.
[Purple Sweet Potato Pills]: It really works, thank you brother, I wish you a speedy recovery.
[ALS]: I've definitely never seen this before, otherwise I'd save your life. Or you could privately chat with those bosses and ask, they should have more supplies.
Cheng Shuili frowned and opened the private chat page with [Strawberry Hard Candy], the last transaction record between them. Cheng Shuili was about to say something when he saw that his avatar had disappeared.
Dead?
Cheng Shuili reopened the regional channel, and many people noticed that his avatar had disappeared.
[ALS]: Alas, I still didn't survive.
Cheng Shuili stared at the gray avatar of [Strawberry Hard Candy], his finger suspended in mid-air, and he was reluctant to close the system panel.
"Just died like that?" she murmured to herself, and the transaction records with the other party in the past few days flashed through her mind.
Although it is just an exchange of interests, there is a living person behind the ID that always speaks in an exaggerated tone.
Outside the shopping cart, the night was as dark as ink.
The dark red sky was swallowed by darkness, with only a few stars twinkling faintly.
Cheng Shuili could feel that the monsters were getting closer. Their blurry figures were swaying in the distance, making creepy low moans.
"50% off everything! 50% off everything!" The shopping cart's horn suddenly sounded, and it was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Cheng Shuili sat up straight suddenly, her heart beating violently in her chest and beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
It's not because of fear of those monsters.
They do not attack the player, at least not yet.
It was because of the death of [Strawberry Hard Candy] that she suddenly realized that this game was much more cruel than she had imagined.
"Antidote..." Cheng Shuili muttered the word softly and opened his supply list.
She certainly didn't have the medicine, and even the most basic medical supplies were scarce. If she were the next to be poisoned...Cheng Shuili shook his head and forced himself to stop thinking negatively.
She stood up and paced back and forth in the upgraded vehicle.
The interior space of the third-level electric shopping cart is already quite spacious, enough for her to move around.
The induction cooker in the kitchen area flashed a blue light in standby mode, and the refrigerator made a slight humming sound. These were all proof that she was ahead of other players and also proof of her living conditions.
Cheng Shuili took a deep breath, opened the chat page and deleted the friend [Strawberry Hard Candy].
This is normal, she needs to adapt to it in advance.
Cheng Shuili didn't use an induction cooker. She didn't have a pot that could be used on an induction cooker, so she still used the small electric cooker she had bought before.
It is convenient to simply heat up a pre-prepared meal.
The aluminum foil vegetable wrap was unrolling in the boiling water, while Cheng Shuili stood aside and looked at the trading channel.
[Cocoa]: Three compressed biscuits in exchange for a bottle of mineral water. Come and send the transaction directly!
[Do you want to eat grapefruit?]: I opened a box and found a strawberry seedling. If anyone wants it, please send me a private message!
[Late]: Anyone has a refrigerator? Help! Put some things in there for me. You can bring in your needs in exchange, or I'll treat you to a few meals, all made with fresh ingredients and handmade!
[Red Panda]: What's that upstairs talking about? Something about refrigerators and free meals? Have you entered the electric age?
Xu Lingqi: Boss, please be kind. I'm still sleeping outdoors. I don't want much. Just give me a meal! Boss Wanwan, please!
Quite interesting.
Cheng Shuili opened the private message with [Wanyi].
[Crow on a Plane]: I have, look at your food.
The other party quickly sent over a few pictures, a dish of shredded potatoes with green peppers, a dish of braised pork that looked fat and lean and golden in color, and a dish of dried tofu with chili peppers, which was also thickened with starch.
In other words, this person not only prescribed so many ingredients, but also a complete set of kitchen seasonings, even starch.
This is amazing! This guy is a chef chosen by God!
[Late One]: [Picture] There's also rice, plenty of it. It's just that the space I need might be a bit large. Can I see what your refrigerator looks like?
Cheng Shuili shuddered all over, looked at the pre-prepared dishes still heating in the pot, and then looked at the steaming rice that the person had sent.
A lot happened today, but it's really only the fourth day!
The chosen chef!
These four words popped up in Cheng Shuili's mind, and he instantly understood the value of this person.
We must maintain good relationships and this requires long-term cooperation. In this world, eating is simply the top priority.
There is a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head, and death may come at any time. If you eat poorly, you can drink vitamin mineral water and compressed biscuits every day.
Cheng Shuili: "…"
It makes me want to die just thinking about it.
Without further ado, she took a photo and sent it to [Wanyi].
[Crow on a Plane]: It's quite big, and I don't need it. At most I'll put some drinks in it to cool them down. If you need it, we can have long-term cooperation.
Cheng Shuili sent the message and silently prayed in his heart that this person was sensible.
If this person is greedy and wants everything, even if he can cook delicacies from land and sea, Cheng Shuili will not be able to cooperate with him for too long.
The other party replied quickly and seemed to be waiting.
[Late]: It is a little bigger than I thought, and can meet Sou's needs.
[Late One]: I need to give you the ingredients so you can help me store them. Boss Crow, you're not going to run away with my ingredients, are you? What if I give you my things today and can't contact you tomorrow?
Cheng Shuili stared at the message sent by Wanyi, his finger hovering above the screen without dropping it.
The other party's concerns are reasonable. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, trust is more scarce than food.
The pre-cooked food simmered in the pot, its foil packets tumbling in the boiling water, emitting the smell of cheap spices. She suddenly lost her appetite.
[Crow on a Plane]: I understand your concerns. How about this, for our first collaboration, we do a small batch? You leave a few essential ingredients with me, and I'll give you something of equivalent value as a deposit.
Cheng Shuili is not a philanthropist. She is willing to make the necessary efforts to build trust, but she will not take the loss!
[Crow on a Plane]: But you have to keep your promise about providing meals.
The other party didn't reply for a long time, and Cheng Shuili couldn't help but send another message.
[Crow on a Plane]: Don't care about food anymore?
[Late One]: Of course, that's no problem. I don't need you to eat. I just feel a little... uh, maybe my filter is broken. I thought you were the kind of person who didn't want to spend time eating, munching on compressed biscuits every day, and rushing forward every minute.
Cheng Shuili: "…"
[Wanyi]: And Crow, you were quite aggressive when you cursed people in the regional channel before. I thought you were difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to.
[Wanyi]: You don't need to press the corresponding items. I don't have much storage space. I trust you.
[Late]: I took a screenshot. If you really run away with my stuff, I'll hang you up in the regional channel. Unless you don't want to trade anymore, you probably won't do that.
Cheng Shuili: "…"
Why do I feel a little speechless and a little touched?
Anyway, the deal was done.
"You received a gift from player [Wanyi]: Eggplant x2, Tomato x5, Radish x3, Potato x8..."
Cheng Shuili remained silent. In addition to these, there was also fresh meat, a piece of pork weighing about three pounds, and an unprocessed fish.
Cheng Shuili really wanted to suspect that this guy was cheating. Where did all these things come from?
She has a sense of propriety and won't ask too many questions if she finds it strange. After all, trust is hard to come by.
[Late One]: You know how to store these things, right? Meat should be placed in the freezer, and vegetables in the fresh-keeping layer. If possible, it's best to pack these vegetables separately before storing them.
[Late]: You can tell me what you want to eat a day in advance and I'll see if I can make it for you. If you come across any fresh ingredients on weekdays, you can contact me directly and I'll make it for you for free.
Cheng Shuili nodded secretly, feeling that he had solved a big problem.
[Crow on a Plane]: Is there dinner tonight?
"You received a gift from player [Wanyi]: 1 dried tofu with spicy peppers and 1 rice."
Cheng Shuili stared at the two plates of food that appeared out of nowhere on the dining table, and the hot air carrying the aroma went straight into his nose.
She swallowed subconsciously, and her throat rolled unconsciously.
The sauce of the dried tofu and chili peppers shimmered amber in the light, dotted with shredded green and red peppers and adorned with a few white sesame seeds. The bowl of rice beside it was steaming, its grains plump and glistening, infinitely more enticing than the compressed biscuits she'd been nibbling on these days.
She picked up a piece with her hand and felt a slightly warm touch on her fingertips. She quickly stuffed it into her mouth. The moment she bit it, the sauce burst in her mouth.It is salty and fresh with just the right amount of spiciness. The dried tofu has absorbed the soup but still retains its toughness, and the fresh fragrance of the chili peppers hits your nose.
It's better than what I ate in some restaurants in my previous life!
The delicious aroma exploding on her tongue made her eyes sore. Although only four days had passed, it felt like a lifetime ago since she last ate freshly cooked food.
That's true.
A beating heart, trembling hands.
Cheng Shuili didn't even have chopsticks.
She frowned and opened a package of self-heating hot pot, took out the tableware inside and enjoyed the meal.
The sweet aroma of rice, mixed with steam, surged into her eyes. Cheng Shuili blinked her sore eyes and scooped up a handful of dried tofu with hot peppers, placing it on top of the rice. The sauce-colored sauce soaked through the snow-white rice. She carefully gathered it into a small mound with the tip of her chopsticks and placed the whole thing in her mouth.
She covered her mouth, the warm food rolling on the tip of her tongue.
The richness of soy sauce, the smoothness of starch thickening, and the slight spiciness of chili peppers explode on your taste buds!
It feels so good. I am so happy.
This is life!
Cheng Shuili finished half a bowl of rice in a few bites and suddenly stopped. She stared at the remaining half of the dish and, for some unknown reason, opened the system panel and activated the camera function.
Wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't show off a little?
And the official people must be peeking at the screen. If I give them some wrong information, I'd better get the remaining 50 pieces of vehicle upgrade material fragments!
[Crow on a Plane]: [Picture] Today's dinner is spicy pepper dried tofu with rice.
[Crow on a Plane]: Some people still drink mineral water and eat compressed biscuits?
After sending the message, she deliberately turned up the channel prompt volume to the maximum and continued to eat with satisfaction.
The first wave of responses came faster than expected.
Xu Lingqi: ??? Am I dazzled? What's on that plate... is that a stir-fry?! Give me a bite, big brother! I want one!
[Red Panda]: Wow, this rice! Wow, this shine! Is this freshly made?! Boss Crow, look at me! I can trade it for something!
[Eat grapefruit or not]: @Crow on a plane, are you missing any leg accessories? The kind that went to college and can write code!
Cheng Shuili bit the tip of his chopsticks and laughed, scooping up the last spoonful of rice soaked in soup.
The regional channel was instantly buzzing with news, but she simply ignored the constantly flashing friend request list.
Only check messages from people you know.
[Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai]: Big boss, give me a bite, and I'll give you whatever you need!
[Late One]:Is it delicious?
Cheng Shuili replied Wanyi first.
[Crow on a Plane]: Amazing, with this skill, you can even open a restaurant.
[Wanyi]: He was indeed the head chef before traveling through time.
I found a treasure.
Cheng Shuili smiled and replied to the message [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai].
[Crow on a Plane]: Bring a container.
"You received a gift from player [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai], half a paper cup x1."
Paper cup, or half.
Cheng Shuili smiled at the man's tact, stuffed half of the paper cup with hot peppers and dried tofu, then filled the other half with rice, and handed it back to the man.
[Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai]: Crow! I can never repay your kindness! From now on, just tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you!
"You received a gift from player [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai], 3 vehicle upgrade material fragments."
[Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinglai]: I see you have been collecting this, take it.
Cheng Shuili accepted it silently, and felt a little warmer in his heart.
She picked up the last piece of rice and stuffed it into her mouth, sighing with satisfaction. The upgraded vehicle sat quietly in the night, its interior LED lights casting a warm glow.
Cheng Shuili packed up, relaxed his body and lay down on the sofa. After relaxing, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the system will release today's mileage target again.
[Day 5 journey to be completed: 90 kilometers.]
[Survivors, come on.]
Cheng Shuili rubbed his eyes and went to the sink to wash his face.
After eating the porridge cooked a little later, I stepped on the accelerator and started on my way.
The morning went smoothly, except that he didn't encounter many treasure chests. Cheng Shuili silently prayed that his luck would be better in the afternoon.
Perhaps God heard her wish. Not long after her shopping cart started moving in the afternoon, she saw a green treasure chest on the side of the road.
Bronze box!
"Good luck."
Cheng Shuili slammed on the brakes, thought for a moment, and got out of the car, holding a baseball bat in one hand and a fine steel dagger in the other. She carefully used the baseball bat to pry open the box...
Next moment!
A black shadow suddenly emerged from the box!
Cheng Shuili instinctively rolled backwards, and a deafening roar came to his ears.
A wild boar, more than a meter long, appeared out of nowhere, its tusks gleaming coldly white in the sunlight. Its hind legs pawed the ground, sending up sand and gravel that hit Cheng Shuili's face, stinging it with a searing pain.
Cheng Shuili didn't have time to treat the wound on her face, as the wild boar was already rushing towards her!
Cheng Shuili almost rolled towards the shopping cart along the ground. The fangs scraped past her calf, and a tear immediately appeared on her trouser leg.
She desperately grabbed the car door handle, but the wild boar had already turned around and rushed towards her again.
"Bang!"
Cheng Shuili fell into the driver's cab, and before he could catch his balance, the wild boar's tusks pierced through the car door.
The sound of metal tearing was so deafening that the whole car shook violently.
She smelled a foul odor mixed with blood. White air was coming out of the wild boar's nostrils, and its yellow eyes were full of madness. Its fangs were stuck in the car door, and it was unable to move for a while.
Cheng Shuili's heart was pounding, this was a rare opportunity!
She immediately rolled down the car window, held the dagger tightly, and used all her strength to stab the dagger into the wild boar's body and then pull it out!
Cheng Shuili didn't think too much. He tensed his arms to the extreme and subconsciously made attacking movements.
The wild boar let out a scream, and when the dagger was pulled out, scarlet blood spurted into the car.
Cheng Shuili frowned, the lines on his face twisted into a hideous shape, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed it in again, the wild boar gradually died.
Cheng Shuili stopped moving, his hand holding the dagger was cramping, blood spurted out and splattered everywhere, and a fishy smell rushed into his nose.
She took a few deep breaths to control her shaking arms and keep them steady.
He pulled out a piece of toilet paper and carefully pressed it on the dagger, and the white paper was quickly stained red.
If it hadn't been stuck, Cheng Shuili would have been knocked away.
She didn't want to try that taste.
Only then did Cheng Shuili come to his senses.
She killed a wild boar!
Wild boar! Meat! Lots of meat!
Cheng Shuili came back to life. She took a photo of the wild boar corpse and opened the private chat page with Wanyi.
[Crow on a Plane]: Chef, can you handle it?
[Late one]:!!!!!!
[Wanyi]: You're so powerful, big man! Crow! I'll cook for you forever! Can I take care of this pork? Also, if possible, can you give me some drinking water?
[Wan Yi]: Leave it to me, nothing will go to waste! Do you know how to butcher an ox? Today, I'll show you how Wan Yi butchers a pig!
Cheng Shuili wiped the blood off his face and forced a smile onto his face. Only then did he feel like he was finally alive.Humans are social animals and it is difficult to live without the group.
Cheng Shuili originally didn't believe in evil and wanted to live alone until his death. But now he has to admit that if a few people with different strengths come together, they may get a better life.
Who can resist a good life?
"You gifted the player an item [one step] late: a 162-pound wild boar."
Cheng Shuili was horrified. Now she and Wanyi were completely bound together. Her refrigerator was filled with a lot of Wanyi's vegetables and meat.
Wan Yi was in charge of her meals and holding one of her wild boars in her hand.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. Cheng Shuili was really worried that he would run away if he was late.
But the two of them also talked about it last night, that in this road survival game, the food seems to rot several times faster than outside.
In other words, if there were no refrigerator, at least two-thirds of the 162 kilograms of pork would be wasted.
Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt them.
Cheng Shuili took a deep breath and checked the car door that was damaged by the wild boar. She really didn't know how to deal with it. There was no prompt on the system panel. Perhaps the player had to repair it himself.
Cheng Shuili sat back in the driver's seat. A lot of pig blood splashed into the cab, and the air was filled with a bloody smell, which was a bit disgusting.
She frowned. It would be too much trouble to stop and deal with it now.
Never mind, it's barely drivable.
Cheng Shuili stepped on the accelerator and started the shopping cart directly.
The shopping cart started again, but Cheng Shuili turned his head and looked. There was only a pool of pig blood left on the road, and the bronze treasure chest that opened the pig blood had disappeared.
Cheng Shuili sighed. She thought it was a gift from God, but she didn't expect a wild boar to jump out. She almost lost her life here.
But think about it from another perspective, that's 162 kilograms of pork!
Cheng Shuili curled up the corners of his mouth and felt happy again.
There were no other accidents in the afternoon. I encountered two wooden treasure chests, but what I opened were compressed biscuits.
In the past, Cheng Shuili might have been comfortable with it, but now that his life is a bit "luxurious", Cheng Shuili is no longer interested in this thing at all.
She pinched the compressed biscuits and stuffed them into the shopping cart, ready to trade them later.
As it was getting dark, Cheng Shuili received a private message.
[Glory Shines on the Blue Planet]: 50 vehicle upgrade material fragments are still too many, can it be less?
[Glory Shining on the Blue Planet]: You also know that information is time-sensitive. It will do you no good to delay it for too long.
Cheng Shuili sneered. What he said was indeed right, but he still felt a little uncomfortable being threatened.
It takes a full 125 pieces to upgrade a vehicle from level 3 to level 4. Cheng Shuili sighed, thinking that he definitely couldn't get enough of them in a short time.
This thing is hard currency at all times.
Cheng Shuili naturally hoped to have more in his hands, and this news was indeed a little...
She suppressed her temper and felt inexplicably guilty, but after a moment she became confident again.
Cheng Shuili didn't say any false news.
It's just that this news is useless for them to know, but useless information is still information.
Cheng Shuili replied with a smile.
[Crow on a plane]: At least 45, and forget it if you try to bargain further.
On the other side, Zhao Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately reported the news that Crow had given in. The message from above quickly came down: "Keep pushing the price down."
Zhao Hong frowned unconsciously after seeing the message. He knew how difficult it was to talk to Crow, and he felt that if he said anything more, Crow would not reply.
But it was an order.
Zhao Hong sighed and sent the message anyway.
[Glory Shining on the Blue Star]: 30, we can take it out now.
Cheng Shuili glanced at it, snorted coldly and didn't reply.
She also has speculations about game currency.
Now that no one has found a way to obtain game coins, Cheng Shuili boldly speculates that perhaps there is no channel to obtain them during the entire novice protection period!
And she got this store employee ID card by using a bug, so it's naturally invalid!
The more Cheng Shuili thought about it, the more it made sense, and he decided to take a gamble.
She wasn't in a rush to trade with Guanghui, but Guanghui was quite anxious. As they said, information is time-sensitive. The sooner they knew about it, the greater the benefits they might receive.
In such a stalemate, they are the only ones who are anxious in the end.
The crow didn't reply again, obviously dissatisfied.
Zhao Hong sighed and silently reported the latest news.
After it was completely dark, Cheng Shuili settled down. She felt particularly at ease with the LED light in the shopping cart. She had already replaced the battery of the light once, and it was still relatively stable.
The system suddenly sounded a message prompt.
"You received a gift from player [Wanyi]: 80 jin of pork, 20 jin of ribs, 6 jin of pork head, 1.2 jin of pork stomach, 2 front and 2 hind trotters, 1 pig heart, 1 pig liver, and 2 pig kidneys."
As this series of pork parts were listed, Cheng Shuili's mind automatically filled in the images of the finished products from delicatessens he had seen in his past life, fragrant and gravy-filled...
Cheng Shuili was drooling as he watched.
[One night]: Can the refrigerator hold it? I specially saved a piece of pork belly from the tip of the pig's rump. The meat here is fat and lean, and the layers are distinct. The taste is the best. I'm going to make braised pork tonight.
[Crow on a plane]: drooling.jpg
Braised pork!
Cheng Shuili felt his saliva being secreted as he thought about it, and the system prompt sounded again.
[Late One]: Why did you ignore the first question?
Cheng Shuili put away the silly smile on his face, put on his bossy demeanor again, and replied concisely.
[Crow on a plane]: Be able to let go.
[Late One]: That's good.
After Cheng Shuili finished sending the message, he stuffed the scattered pork chunks in the car into the refrigerator. The refrigerator was still a little small, or perhaps it was because they had gotten a lot of wild boar meat this time.
After stuffing it in, the refrigerator was full and there was no empty space at all.
Out of respect for his partner, Cheng Shuili told Wanyi the news.
Wan Yi didn't say anything, just said he understood.
Early in the morning of the sixth day, Cheng Shuili opened his eyes before dawn.
The carriage was still filled with the aroma of braised pork from last night. Life was so comfortable now. Cheng Shuili prayed silently, hoping that he could live longer.
She didn't know that when she was dealing with the wild boar last night, she was also praying in her heart that the crow would live longer.
After coming to this world, it was the first time that Wan Yi saw so much meat. Only then did Wan Yi realize how thick a thigh a crow was.
Be sure to hold on tight.
At eight o'clock, unlike usual, the system unexpectedly issued an announcement.
[Dear survivors! Today is the sixth day of the novice protection period, the penultimate day before the game officially begins! How have you been lately?]
[There is no mileage requirement today. Today we will open the first dungeon in the game! ]
[1. All players sign up voluntarily, there is no compulsion, and there is no life-threatening situation.]
[2. This instance is a speed-racing instance. Based on the total time spent by players, remove the top ten and bottom ten players, and calculate the average score as the passing score!3. If your score is better than the passing score, you win! You will receive rewards, which will be distributed according to your ranking. If your score is lower than the passing score, you lose! 10 items of supplies will be randomly deducted from the survivors. Once again, there is no risk to life in this dungeon.
[Instance Details: Mist]
[Description: You stray into this maze alone. Thick stone slabs separate the path, and a thick fog obscures your vision. You sense no danger here, but you can't find a way out.]
[Please choose whether to participate in the dungeon within five minutes. Current number of participants: 0/8213]
8213 is the number of people remaining in Cheng Shuili's current division.
Cheng Shuili carefully read the system announcement. Whether it was the punishment or the emphasis on no danger, it seemed to be encouraging players to participate in the dungeon.
It's still voluntary registration.
Cheng Shuili instantly realized that future dungeons might not be so merciful. They might be forced to participate, and might even involve threats.
Regardless of the considerations, whether to familiarize himself with the dungeon in advance or for the rewards, Cheng Shuili will participate in this dungeon.
She clicked on the registration button directly and increased the number of participants by one, bringing it to 6210.
It seems that most people chose to participate.
The regional channels have exploded, with news flashing online one after another.
[Sunset]: Is there any expert who can give me some advice and recommend me to participate?
[Xiaozhi]: I plan to see the number of people. If more than half of the people participate, I will also join.
[Yang Ergou]: I'm not participating. If you want to avoid punishment, you can leave your supplies with me. If you don't have supplies, the system won't deduct them. If you're worried about the risk, you can leave the items you don't want to be deducted with me, leaving only ten unused items!
[Narwhal]: I don't think anyone really believes what you said above. This is indeed a method, but if you give it directly to a stranger, then you are really a [thumbs up]
[My name is Lin Shuang]: I think it should be this [little finger].
[Everything Floating Ice]: Stop explaining useless things. Is there any big shot who can tell me if I want to participate? @光辉照耀蓝星@乌鹤坐飞
[Antibiotics]: Yes, come out and talk about it, @光辉照耀蓝星@光辉照耀蓝星
[Glory Shines on the Blue Star]: It is best to participate if you are able.
[Red Panda]: Wow, the boss has spoken!
[Xu Lingqi]: I listened to the advice and participated!
[Slim Fat Man]: My friend wasn't participating, so I just gave the supplies to him and kept ten items with me. This way, even if I failed, I wouldn't suffer too much loss.
…
Cheng Shuili stopped reading as the countdown neared its end. She stuffed a bottle of water and a piece of compressed biscuit into her body, and tightly grasped the fine steel dagger in her hand.
You must always be on guard against others.
It's better to be careful no matter what.
The countdown reached zero, and Cheng Shuili felt her vision go dark, as her body was pulled by an invisible force. When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing on a narrow cobblestone road.
Thick white fog filled the air, and visibility was no more than three meters.
The damp air, carrying the scent of earth and moss, felt a bit chilly when inhaled. Cheng Shuili subconsciously tightened her grip on the fine steel dagger in her hand; it was her only weapon at the moment.
[The "Mist" instance has been opened]
Current number of participants: 7211/8213
[Supplementary explanation of the dungeon rules: 1. Find the maze exit to win! 2. Please choose the right path! 3. All players are in different worlds, and this dungeon is a speedrunning dungeon only!]
The system's voice sounded in his mind, and Cheng Shuili quickly wrote down the information.
The second one seems a bit useless and just like nonsense.
Cheng Shuili observed carefully for a moment. The stone road under his feet extended to the left and right and disappeared in the thick fog. He could not see the scene in the distance at all.
She tried to take a step forward, but suddenly felt a barrier.
Cheng Shuili reached out his hand and carefully touched the barrier...
This thing is a bit like... an air wall?
Cheng Shuili: "?"
She took a step back and stretched out her hand to feel around. Of the four directions, only the back was accessible.
It's a bug, absolutely a bug.
Air wall BUG!
Cheng Shuili was speechless. She wasn't sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but it seemed like she only had one way to go.
Standing is standing.
Let's go.
Cheng Shuili stretched out his long legs and moved forward along the area encircled by the air wall.
Cheng Shuili walked forward along the only stone road available. The mist flowed around her, wrapping around her footsteps as if it had life.
She suddenly noticed a pattern in the distribution of the moss on the ground. The moss along the path encircled by the air wall was noticeably thicker and moister. Cheng Shuili took a closer look, a vague suspicion forming in his heart.
Perhaps this is what the system says, the correct route.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shuili no longer hesitated and tried his best to speed up!
This was a speedrunning dungeon, and rewards were distributed based on ranking. Cheng Shuili admitted that she coveted the first-place prize!
In front, Cheng Shuili still had to grope his way along the air wall, but after discovering the problem with the moss, he immediately moved forward at full speed.
She turned a few bends, and the road ahead suddenly opened up. The fog almost completely dissipated, and a straight road led to a glowing exit in the distance.
The stone walls on both sides are covered with glowing crystals, illuminating the passage like a dream.
Cheng Shuili was a little worried, so he threw a piece of compressed biscuit forward to explore the way, and only moved forward slowly after making sure there was no problem.
There is indeed no problem.
When he took a step out of the maze, Cheng Shuili was still a little confused.
That's it?
It's out now?
A bit too easy, isn't it?
The next moment, she reappeared in the shopping cart, and the system's announcement sounded in her ears.
"Congratulations to player Cheng Shuili for completing the maze in 3 minutes and 42 seconds, taking first place in the server-wide speedrun! Please choose whether to announce this."
"You are ranked first in the current dungeon leaderboard and receive the following rewards: Advanced Supply Packs x3, Advanced Medical Packs x3, Vehicle Repair Card x1, Vehicle Cleaning Card x1, Free Attribute Points +2!"
"Congratulations to player Cheng Shuili for achieving the first achievement in the Speed Dungeon and being awarded the title of Speed Dungeon Killer!"
"Title [Speed Instance Killer] Effect: Agility +15! Do you want to wear it?"
Cheng Shuili first looked at the title. This thing was not as good as [First Killer]. [First Killer] added a total of 30 attribute points, while this title only had 15 points, all of which were in agility.
Cheng Shuili chose no.
As for the announcement...she curled her lips and directly chose yes.
Congratulations to player Crow on a Plane, the first player to exit the "Mist" dungeon, achieving a remarkable time of 3 minutes and 42 seconds! To all players, life isn't easy, keep up the hard work!
In the regional channel, players who have not entered the dungeon began to speak.
[Red Panda]: ??? It's out so soon! I should have participated if I had known.
[Hou Tian]: Stop dreaming upstairs, that's the speed of the big guy, if you go in you might be trapped for the whole day.
[Pure White]: The regional channel is so quiet, only a few announcements from Boss Crow popped up.Cheng Shuili didn't check the world channel. Let him be jealous.
Showing off is one thing, but it shouldn't interfere with the real work. Cheng Shuili is more concerned about the reward for first place.
The system has already distributed the items to her shopping cart: three high-level supply packs, three high-level medical packs, and two precious vehicle cards, neatly placed on the sofa.
They are all high-end products, all good things that I have never seen before.
However, Cheng Shuiju cares more about the two free attribute points.
"System, open the personal attribute panel."
A pale blue light curtain unfolded before her:
[Player: Cheng Shuili
ID:AAAJCCJ8888
Username: Crow on a plane
Vehicle: Level 3 electric shopping cart (current battery level 1000%)
Health: 60 (Title is being granted, please do not remove it lightly.)
Strength: 33+ (Top-tier among players, keep up the good work.)
Fitness: 33+ (800 meters is easy, 1000 meters is no problem.)
Agility: 33+ (Maybe you can win the sprint championship, but the probability is very small.)
Overall combat power: 48 (not yet passed, keep working hard)
Supplies: Omitted. ]
The panel is no different from before, except that a plus sign appears after the three items: strength, stamina, and agility.
Cheng Shuili thought about it and decided not to keep any of it. She would add more if she could. This was a dangerous moment, and she might not have time to add any more.
Cheng Shuili's fingertips hovered in front of the light curtain. After a pause, he chose to increase his strength by two points.
Everything will be easier if you have more strength.
[Strength +2, current value 35]
Cheng Shuili bent his arm and took a look. His biceps were still not obvious. He could see the muscle lines when he exerted force, but it was still soft when he relaxed. However, he could feel that he was much stronger.
Cheng Shuili was very satisfied. He pinched the soft flesh on his arm and closed the system panel to check other rewards.
There are only two things you can choose from in the advanced supplies pack: ten top-grade cigarettes and a bottle of top-grade wine.
Cheng Shuili took a closer look at it. This thing was of no use to her. She neither smoked nor drank, and she didn't even drink much sweet water, let alone this kind of good wine with an alcohol concentration starting at 30%.
She originally thought that this thing was a material for upgrading the vehicle, but she didn't expect it to be a icing on the cake and could only be used for trading.
Cheng Shuili sighed and was about to close the selection box when he saw a line of small words at the bottom:
The advanced supply pack contains eight types of supplies, including "10 top-grade cigarettes, 1 bottle of top-grade wine, 1 full set of kitchen utensils, 5 sets of durable batteries, 1 full set of condiments, 1 full set of decorations (random style), 1 random vehicle card, and 1 random meal (including one rice, one dish, and one soup)." Two items are randomly refreshed daily.
"It turns out that the contents of the supply pack will be refreshed every day."
Cheng Shuili stared at the small words, her eyes slightly shining. Her originally disappointed mood brightened up again, and her finger gently ran across the description on the screen.
"System, when will the next advanced supply pack be refreshed?"
[Refresh material options at 4:00 AM every day]
There's no need to check the time, she came out so quickly, it's not even nine in the morning yet.
It's still a long time until the next refresh.
Cheng Shuili bit her lower lip. She wasn't in a rush for this. After all, top-tier cigarettes and alcohol were of no use to her. It would be better to wait for more practical supplies to appear.
Cheng Shuili opened the medical kit. There was no choice about this thing, only whether to use it or not.
Cheng Shuili got three in total, so it was no big deal to open one to test the waters.
She clicks Use.
[Use Advanced Medical Kit x1 to obtain 5 antidotes, 10 cold medicines, 10 anti-inflammatory drugs, 3 hemostatic bandages, 1 epinephrine injection, 1 portable thermometer, and 5 painkillers.]
Cheng Shuili's eyes lit up. This was much richer than she had expected.
Especially the detoxification pill. Having witnessed the death of [Strawberry Hard Candy] from poisoning, Cheng Shuili could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
She directly used the last two advanced medical kits and organized the things neatly in the car.
These things will not be put together with other supplies, so it will be convenient to take them when the time comes.
She went to look at the last two props with a smile on her lips.
[Vehicle Repair Card]: Currently has 1 use remaining.
Description: Repair any vehicle damage. The vehicle will be repaired successfully if the remaining parts are at least 20%.
No less than 20%? All can be repaired successfully?
This vehicle can be compressed together and then pulled back?
Cheng Shuili originally wanted to use this card to repair the damage to the car door, but when she saw this sentence, she suddenly felt that if she really did that, it would be a waste of her talent.
No wonder it's the reward for first place!
[Vehicle Cleaning Card]: Currently has 10 uses remaining.
Description: Give your vehicle a thorough clean! This includes everything inside the vehicle. This system-generated product is guaranteed to be top-notch! A friendly reminder: if you stand inside a vehicle while using it, you might get a free shower.
Cheng Shuili: "?"
Isn't it about cleaning things? Are players also considered things?
No, players are not things...
Cheng Shuili silently stopped thinking and directly used the vehicle cleaning card.
The moment Cheng Shuili clicked to use the [Vehicle Cleaning Card], the entire electric shopping cart was suddenly shrouded in a layer of light blue light.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise, watching the dust, stains and bloodstains inside the car disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the scratch on the car door became as good as new.
"This is amazing..." Cheng Shuili couldn't help but reach out and touch the carriage. It felt smooth, cool, and exceptionally clean.
Cheng Shuili was muttering to himself when he suddenly felt his body lighten. He looked down and saw that the blood and stains on his clothes were disappearing quickly.
What shocked her even more was that a cool feeling spread from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, as if her whole body was immersed in clear water, yet she could breathe normally.
[Warm reminder: Players are enjoying free cleaning service, which lasts for 30 seconds]
Cheng Shuili stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, allowing the system to "bathe" him.
She could feel her hair become fresh and smooth, all the sweat and dirt on her skin disappeared, and even the cracks between her nails were clean.
After 30 seconds, the blue light dissipated.
Cheng Shuili touched his face and felt refreshed like never before.
She quickly ran to the driver's seat and took a good look at herself through the rearview mirror. She looked radiant in the mirror, and even her dark circles were much lighter.
"This isn't a cleaning card, it's a beauty card..." Cheng Shuili muttered to himself, then his eyes lit up, "There are only 9 uses left, I have to use it sparingly."
These two cards must be kept safe, she thought about it, and finally stuffed them into herself. The clothes have inner pockets and zipper closures, so they are very safe.
After sorting out the supplies, Cheng Shuili sat back in the driver's seat obediently. They were still in the dungeon and hadn't come out yet. It was a good time to distance himself from these people!
As soon as Cheng Shuili stepped on the accelerator, the shopping cart started to malfunction again.
"50% off everything! 50% off everything!"
Cheng Shuili: "…"
