Chapter 105 · Volume 1

The Black Sheep

Plants inside the sunroom will absolutely never die, and they can even be harvested with one click.
The item is great, but these materials...
Cheng Shuili felt a wave of darkness. She had the 99 slime gels—she had killed plenty of monsters in the dungeon last time, so that was definitely enough.
She had managed to get five energy stones from opening gold supply crates, but she was still short by three. Were there no other ways to acquire them?
She couldn't just rely on opening supply crates, could she?
The items inside gold supply crates were too numerous, and the randomness was far too high.
As for the nutrient soil needed to craft the flowerpot, she had never even seen it before.
It was no wonder Glory said this was a gift for her.
Cheng Shuili sighed and checked the use of the other card.
【Designated Dungeon Opening Card】
【Description: After use, you can open a designated dungeon! There is no time limit for use. You cannot specify the dungeon level for players to participate in. It randomly opens dungeons from normal to hell level, with a fixed ratio for each level!】
Open a dungeon?
To go to a hell-level dungeon to seek death?
Cheng Shuili sighed and shook her head, only then feeling her mind clear up quite a bit.
This card was still useful. First, she could obtain dungeon rewards, and second, if she really lacked monster drops, she might be able to open a dungeon to farm them.
But the second point was still too difficult to realize. The monsters Cheng Shuili encountered now were only a few types: slimes, grease monsters, and the stronger snow-buried ghouls...
What monsters dropped what items, and where those items could be used.
Cheng Shuili’s knowledge in this area was still too sparse.
However, this card would definitely be useful in the future.
Cheng Shuili tucked the items into the Abyss Ring. She hesitated for a moment in Glory’s chat box, not saying whether she would tell him about every disaster from now on; she only mentioned that the next natural disaster would be extreme heat.
Zhao Hong did not continue to ask.
He had interacted with Crow enough times to know that she had a set of scales in her heart. Crow would decide for herself what to do; whether he asked or not, the result would be the same.
But this natural disaster...
Zhao Hong’s gaze fixed on the words "extreme heat." The information Chen Qingshan had sent him earlier was not extreme heat.
Zhao Hong closed the chat page with Crow and stared at the word "reliable" that Chen Qingshan had used, feeling dazed for a while.
He didn't know who Chen Qingshan’s source of information was, but if Zhao Hong had to choose who to believe, he would definitely choose Crow.
【Qingshan Trek】: Release the disaster information to the regional channel tomorrow morning. Before that, we will collect a few things.
Are they going to sell them at a high price later?
The logic wasn't wrong, but you’ve misread the question!
Zhao Hong had spoken about purchasing in a private capacity; he pursed his lips and decided to keep his promise.
Cheng Shuili felt the shopping cart stop, then used the automatic driving card again.
This card was truly easy to use; it drove both steadily and quickly. Cheng Shuili held her golden rice bowl to eat without being affected in the slightest.
Tonight’s dinner was rice soup. Qi Wanyi had made a few side dishes, and with several small plates set before Cheng Shuili, it looked like quite a decent feast.
Xinxue Chuji had sent over the price difference earned from the commissioned processing of simple hunting traps. The primary materials were already too numerous to count, and there was no shortage of advanced materials either.
In terms of materials, Cheng Shuili was absolutely the wealthiest person on the highway!
Of course, the same went for game coins.
The regional channel was exceptionally lively tonight.
Two thousand people could not compare to ten thousand; message after message scrolled by rapidly.
Cheng Shuili held down the screen to stop it from auto-refreshing so she could clearly see the messages.
Most were idle chatter; there were also those who were lonely and looking for companions in the regional channel, and others who were still arguing from the morning.
Cheng Shuili scrolled through a few times and suddenly saw a message about a trade.
【Eighteen】: Selling a stone, a stone covered in question marks. I don't know what it’s for, but I feel like it’s a good item. Don't come looking for me if you’re looking for something too cheap.
This message didn't stir up much of a splash and was soon drowned out by the constantly refreshing messages.
Cheng Shuili tapped on the person’s private message, then thought better of it and closed it.
Her ID was too conspicuous. If she came to collect it, the person would only need to think with their toes to realize it was a good item and would likely seize the opportunity to raise the price.
Cheng Shuili opened the small four-person group.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: @Xinxue Chuji, help me collect something.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: She’s asleep. She told me half an hour ago that she was exhausted today, and she hasn't replied to my messages since.
Sleeping so early?
She was indeed quite tired today.
Cheng Shuili had originally wanted to knock on Qi Wanyi’s private window, but she figured that person must be asleep too.
That person was still posting about the stone in the regional trade channel; it might be gone by tomorrow.
Cheng Shuili sighed, planning to contact Eighteen herself.
Liang Shanbo waited for a long time without receiving any instructions from the boss, so he had to send another message.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Boss, look at me, Boss! I can do anything! I’ve been doing business with Xinxue for several days! It’s the same if you ask me for anything!
A very standard self-recommendation.
Cheng Shuili had already opened the private chat, but seeing these words, she closed it again. If the kid wanted to prove himself, shouldn't she give him a chance?
If Liang Shanbo could really perform, she wouldn't be just a mascot in the future.
Cheng Shuili stated the general content, and Liang Shanbo immediately replied with an "OK."
Cheng Shuili wasn't entirely sure if he understood, but she didn't feel like saying anything more.
Unexpectedly, things went surprisingly smoothly. Before long, she received a gift from Liang Shanbo.
"You have received a gift from player Liang Shanbo vs. Pig: Space Expansion Stone x1."
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Got it. Traded two packs of instant noodles for it.
Two packs of instant noodles.
Cheng Shuili fell silent. Liang Shanbo’s impression on her was always that of someone who had no desires; it was no exaggeration to say that he lived for that bite of food.
Was he actually willing to give up instant noodles to complete a trade?
Cheng Shuili nodded to herself. A good subordinate.
"You have gifted player Liang Shanbo vs. Pig: 330ml Cola x1."
And it was even chilled.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Is this a reward, Boss? Please reward me heavily in the future!
Cheng Shuili: “……”
How was he starting to sound more and more like Xinxue?
Xinxue, that black sheep!
Cheng Shuili scrolled through the regional channel for a while longer, and as her consciousness grew heavy, the night passed quickly.
The final day of extreme cold.
Early in the morning, Zhao Hong released the information about the next disaster in the regional channel.
What he released wasn't the information he personally obtained from Crow, but the mysterious news Chen Qingshan had gotten from who knows where.
He said the next one was acid rain.
Zhao Hong sighed and released the message he had already edited.
【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: Fellow survivors, after this extreme cold disaster ends, a new round of natural disasters will descend immediately. We still have sixteen hours of preparation time. We have received confirmed news: the name of the next natural disaster is "acid rain."
