【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: So certain?
【Wanwan】: Absolutely, Boss. I’d stake my life on it. Everyone knows about the Designated Player Duel Card now. My ID is right here—if the news turns out to be fake, you can come and kill me anytime!
Cheng Shuili did not reply.
She suspected this person might be like her, possessing an item capable of predicting disasters.
It was this brief moment of silence that terrified Wanwan.
【Wanwan】: Actually, I’m still a bit worried. If it turns out not to be extreme heat, then the information I heard must not be for our region.
Cheng Shuili: “……”
Not? Are you guessing?
You were so confident a moment ago, and now you’re uncertain?
What is this?
Cheng Shuili suspected she was wasting her time, but the next moment, Wanwan explained.
【Wanwan】: Because the information I heard came from a beastman. I have a Town Driver Certificate, and every day I pick up a passenger and get one game coin as a reward. These passengers occasionally chat with me, and the last passenger said the weather was going to get hot, so I guessed the next disaster would be extreme heat.
Oh, so it really was a guess.
That was truly reckless.
But he did manage to guess correctly.
Cheng Shuili surmised that his driver certificate likely had the function of gathering information. Wanwan was probably encountering this for the first time and hadn't verified it yet.
But this was already leagues ahead of an average player, so in reality, the guy was just bluffing.
After bluffing, he felt guilty, fearing that if he guessed wrong, Crow would really use a duel card. After all, Chrysanthemum-like Calm had died in a single exchange, and he still wanted to live a long life!
After sending that long string of bluffs, Wanwan gave himself two hard slaps, immediately losing his nerve, and could only confess everything to Crow.
He only prayed that if the news was fake, Crow wouldn't challenge him to a duel!
Truly, bluffing is fun for a moment, but you regret it afterward!
Wanwan waited anxiously for a long time before receiving a reply from Crow.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Fine.
Cheng Shuili didn't have any murderous intent, but she really craved the Town Driver Certificate in his hands.
She wanted it.
But the idea of killing someone just for a card was something she couldn't bring herself to do, at least for now.
The barrier in her heart hadn't completely vanished; perhaps one day she would become someone who killed without blinking, but the current Cheng Shuili was definitely not that person.
With that settled, Cheng Shuili went to reply to Glory.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I have news, accurate news about the next disaster.
Zhao Hong fell silent again upon seeing this sentence. This Crow was truly an incredibly powerful and capable person!
The seed of "defection" that had been planted in his heart at some unknown time had already grown into a towering tree.
Zhao Hong subconsciously typed out a line.
【Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing】: Does the boss still take underlings? I have a good reputation, don't eat much, can endure, can fight, and can contribute.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: ?
Cheng Shuili wasn't just silent anymore; she almost stood up when she saw that line.
Wait, aren't you, Glory, part of an organization? What do you mean by asking if I'm taking in underlings?
Are you failing to get by and wanting to follow me instead?
Zhao Hong’s face flushed red and turned white. After awkwardly "digging out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes" in embarrassment, he stiffened his face and replied.
【Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing】: Mistyped.
Cheng Shuili: “……”
She believed that like hell.
Glory did indeed have a very good image.
But in a place like this, what good is a "good image"? The current Cheng Shuili hadn't quite figured that out yet, but she understood the principle of leaving a way out for others.
Since Glory had this intention, she would leave it be for now; perhaps one day she could make use of that sentiment.
Zhao Hong was originally waiting for Crow’s message, but he suddenly received a message from Chen Qingshan.
【Qingshan Trek】: Stop contacting Crow. I've already traded with someone else.
Traded with someone else?
【Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing】: Who?
【Qingshan Trek】: A concerned citizen.
Zhao Hong paused. Since Chen Qingshan wouldn't say, fine; he didn't want to communicate with this person much anymore anyway.
He only had one question.
【Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing】: Reliable?
【Qingshan Trek】: Reliable.
So certain?
Zhao Hong frowned and pondered for a moment, but still didn't ask who it was.
He opened his private chat with Crow to explain the situation. Although Cheng Shuili felt a bit regretful, she didn't say much else.
Just when she thought the trade was over, she suddenly received another message.
【Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing】: Can I purchase the news you have in a private capacity? No disclosure, no telling anyone, for my personal use only.
Oh?
That’s interesting.
If Cheng Shuili hadn't understood why Zhao Hong wanted to follow her before, she had pretty much guessed it by now.
The level of trust this person had in his own organization was actually lower than his trust in Cheng Shuili.
What does that count as?
Is this what happens when you get scammed enough times—you develop a dependency?
Cheng Shuili shook her head. No, she was a legitimate trader.
Every piece of information was absolutely accurate; thinking about it that way, it was normal for Glory to trust her.
Then, she would sell it.
Cheng Shuili directly stated her demands. She wanted too many things; if she didn't extort him now, when would she?
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I need vehicle upgrade material shards, or vehicle cards, or profession cards. Let me see what furniture you can come up with, or blueprints are fine too. If what you give is good enough, I don't mind providing accurate information for every disaster from now on.
She was indeed doing Glory a favor. After all, he was still inside that organization, and they traded often. Having someone on the inside made everything convenient.
Zhao Hong was horrified when he saw the message.
From now on, every disaster... providing accurate news...
The implications of this were enormous, and the difficulty of obtaining disaster information was just as high. Crow had just stated it so casually.
Zhao Hong was tempted. His gaze swept through his vehicle, and finally, he took out a blueprint and a card.
These were the most precious things he could part with.
"You have received a gift from player Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing: Simple Sunroom Blueprint x1, Designated Dungeon Opening Card x1."
【Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing】: These are the only relatively valuable things I have. The materials needed for that blueprint are very complex; consider it a gift. I haven't figured out the use of the card yet, but it’s definitely useful. They are both good items.
This message left Cheng Shuili a bit confused. She picked up the blueprint to take a look first.
【Simple Sunroom Blueprint】
【Effect: Once installed, you can arrange potted plants. Once planted, you don't need to worry; it takes care of the plants fully automatically every day. The plants will not die, will bear fruit on a schedule, and can be harvested with one click!】
【Crafting Materials: Plastic x16, Fiberboard x8, Slime Gel x99, Energy Stone x8】
【Special Attached Blueprint: Flowerpot】
【Effect: Used for planting.】
【Crafting Materials: Iron Block x5, Nutrient Soil x1 unit】
These were indeed good things.
Ever since she got the strawberry plant last time, Cheng Shuili knew how delicate and difficult plants were to care for. Even now, Xinxue was shouting in the group every few days that "the strawberries are going to die."
