Cheng Shuili let out a small smile. This time she had only obtained 25% of the supplies, but it was almost equal to what she had gotten from Li Erqiang. Clearly, Lin Mo had killed quite a few people before this.
Little Cheng the Great has rid the people of another evil.
As she organized the supplies, Cheng Shuili couldn't help but reflect on how this was truly a path to instant wealth.
Lin Mo's electric tricycle hadn't disappeared. Besides that, there were plenty of materials, a small amount of food, and several sets of men's and women's clothing.
These were clearly the belongings of her victims.
Clothing obtained from supply crates automatically adjusted to a player's height and weight; they only differed by gender and season.
After she finished organizing, Cheng Shuili did a quick tally. In total, she had: iron block x8, iron nail x13, glass x3, insulation material x2, wire x5, one set of winter women's clothing in her size, four sets of clothes in the wrong size, compressed biscuit x5, and 500ml mineral water x10.
There was also an electric tricycle.
Normally, Cheng Shuili would have been left staring blankly at such a thing, but now, she pulled out the Shop Employee ID she had bought by exploiting a BUG and issued a command toward the electric tricycle according to the instructions.
【Electric Tricycle x1, in near-mint condition. A rare find in a beastman town! However, because it requires batteries, this item is also considered a niche luxury there, so the price will be significantly marked down. It can be sold for 32 game coins. Would you like to sell?】
Cheng Shuili: "?"
She thought it would sell for a high price, but the system had thrown her a curveball.
If you want to lowball me, just say so. No need to take the scenic route.
Cheng Shuili: "Sell."
Every little bit counts, and she couldn't take this thing with her anyway. Besides, she had already tried before—vehicles couldn't be traded between players yet.
This meant that to obtain a vehicle, one had to kill for it. And to upgrade or change vehicles, the only way was to kill and seize.
The system's design was truly... malicious.
With 32 game coins deposited, the column on her system page was finally no longer a zero. Cheng Shuili smiled and continued her journey without pause. The leaderboard, the leaderboard—she had to keep moving toward the leaderboard; there had to be a chest there!
Otherwise, wouldn't all this hard work traveling be for nothing?
After traveling for several days, the battery on her shopping cart had finally dropped below 100%. Cheng Shuili had already traded for batteries with others, waiting for the current one to fully drain before swapping it out.
A system notification suddenly chimed.
Cheng Shuili opened the chat page. The sender was 【Glory Shines on Blue Star】.
【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: We've discussed it. We can exchange supplies for the info, but we don't have much on hand. We hope you can make some concessions.
The corners of Cheng Shuili's mouth curled up. One person might not have much, but with so many of them gathered together, saying they didn't have much was a bit too modest.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I need twenty-five vehicle upgrade material shards.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I have two pieces of information. First, how to enter a beastman town. Second, a method to obtain game coins.
Cheng Shuili shrugged and continued typing.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: You can choose one.
【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: What about the other one?
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: The other one costs 50 shards.
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes. She cautiously stopped the cart to open a wooden supply crate, which only contained two iron blocks.
She moved the iron blocks into storage and returned to her shopping cart.
After all, these two pieces of information were essentially one and the same. Both pointed to the same thing: the Shop Employee ID.
To get the Shop Employee ID, you needed 3999 game coins to buy it at the shop. And to get game coins, you needed the Shop Employee ID to sell supplies.
It was a perfect closed loop.
The second piece of information was basically a redundancy.
Selling one piece of information for 75 shards was a great deal.
Cheng Shuili guessed there must be other ways to obtain game coins, but no one had discovered them yet.
The person on the other end of the screen stood up abruptly. He stared at the message in a daze, not daring to reply to Cheng Shuili immediately. Within the organization, Zhao Hong was merely a spokesperson; the real decision-makers were others.
He immediately reported the message and waited anxiously for a reply.
This time, he was exceptionally anxious.
Either of these two pieces of information would be of immense value to them.
He had seen the various items in the Trading Post with his own eyes. If they could get their hands on game coins, the difficulty of this game would drop significantly!
But the beastman town was an even more immediate necessity!
Cheng Shuili said one could go there to register at a clinic. Who doesn't get sick? Taking medicine on your own was always a nerve-wracking gamble, but if there was a hospital, their lives would be much more secure.
Zhao Hong was suddenly glad he was only a spokesperson. If he had to make the decision, he would be at his wit's end by now.
Furthermore, 【Angry Crow Takes Flight】 was the type of person who remained perfectly calm and wouldn't breathe a word without seeing the benefits first.
If the higher-ups still planned to use an ambiguous attitude to stall, they were going to lose out big time.
Ten minutes later, the higher-ups finally reached a decision.
Zhao Hong stared at the reply on his screen, his brow furrowed. The organization had ultimately decided to use 25 shards to trade for the first piece of info: how to enter a beastman town.
As for the second piece regarding game coins, they decided to set it aside for now. After all, 50 shards was no small amount for them; everyone had already done their best to scrape together 25.
Zhao Hong took a deep breath and replied to Cheng Shuili.
【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: We'll take the first piece of information. The 25 shards are ready. How do we trade?
Cheng Shuili saw the message, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Just send it as a gift. I'll tell you the information in full.
Zhao Hong had at least that much trust in her.
Seeing the way she shut people down in the Regional Channel, she seemed like a straightforward person.
"You have received a gift from player 【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: vehicle upgrade material shards x25."
Cheng Shuili smiled, her fingers dancing across the virtual keyboard.
"To enter a beastman town, you need a Shop Employee ID. As a courtesy, I'll tell you this: the item costs 3999 game coins and can be purchased at the Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant House."
The transaction was complete. Zhao Hong looked at the message, his expression instantly becoming complicated.
"This..." he muttered to himself. "3999 game coins? We don't even know how to get game coins!"
The organization's internal chat exploded instantly.
"Is she playing us?!" someone sent this message to Zhao Hong in a rage.
"No, the info is definitely real," Zhao Hong shook his head. "But she intentionally hid the most crucial part: how to obtain game coins."
"Then the second piece of info..."
"That's the method to get game coins," Zhao Hong said with a bitter smile. "She anticipated we would choose the first one, so she deliberately split them up to sell."
Everyone fell silent.
This move by Cheng Shuili had directly put them in a dilemma.
Either pay another 50 shards for the second piece of information, or figure it out themselves. But time waited for no one.
Rate on N.U.
