“That is enough! I didn't even stop my vehicle, yet when I passed by that beastman, he grabbed my door handle, ripped it open, and jumped right in! Why is this happening? Now all my food has been snatched away! Can someone give me something to eat?”
“What? You get robbed even if you don't stop?”
“Where did these beastmen come from?! Has anyone encountered them and not been robbed? If our food is destined to be taken, shouldn't we all just wait to die?”
“I encountered beastmen too, but they weren't as fierce as you say. There were three of them, and when they saw our group, they just slunk away.”
“Same here. We met four beastmen, and they didn't even glance at us. Plus, we had our vehicles parked close together, so they just walked around us, hahaha. They're quite polite, actually? How are they as bad as you all claim?”
“Are you serious? These beastmen are hypocritical? They attack you when they're in a good mood and walk around you when they're not? Why?!”
“It's a conspiracy! There's definitely a conspiracy! The strength of the beastmen we encountered is completely different! This isn't fair at all! System, come out and explain!”
Even if the system doesn't like being misunderstood, it doesn't explain itself to every accusation, especially those that are clearly idiotic.
Just as Cheng Shuili was feeling speechless, she suddenly spotted a useful question.
“Wait? ‘We’? Why use that term? Are you guys staying together in groups?”
A few messages down, Cheng Shuili saw the replies from those two people.
“Yes, the six of us are from the same dormitory, and we’re having breakfast together.”
“We are a big family, seven or eight of us; of course we’d be together for breakfast at this hour! That goes without saying, right?”
Based on the current situation, Cheng Shuili’s guess was entirely correct.
There were also smart people in the regional channel who had already discovered the source of the problem.
“Have you noticed? The ones who weren't attacked are all in groups that outnumber the beastmen!”
“That’s exactly right! They are all in groups of several people. That guy earlier who said he was dragged out of his vehicle must have been alone, right? And the others saying they weren't attacked! You are all inside your vehicles alone, and the beastmen outnumber you, so of course they’d dare to rob you!”
“Furthermore, before the extreme heat, the system specifically issued water for a day. Although I don't know what this disaster is, the system deliberately distributed designated player duel cards for a day! Look at how low the prices of duel cards on the market have dropped. I was wondering where they all came from, but now that I think about it, it all makes sense!”
“So that’s it! Thanks to this user, ‘Pure Lemon Spirit’, for the summary. It’s so timely! So smart!”
“What if the numbers are equal?”
“Do we really have to do this? Has anyone actually won through force? Duel cards are indeed cheap right now, but they will definitely get more expensive later, and a single designated player duel card only lasts twenty minutes! If I encounter beastmen repeatedly, the consumption will add up to a lot!”
“You still have time to worry about that? Those who sold off their designated player duel cards earlier, hurry to the trading channel and buy them now. Never mind whether the price will rise in a moment—the real question is whether anyone will even have them left to sell!”
“Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!”
“Thanks for the reminder! I’m going now!”
“Stop thanking them, it’s already sold out. Everything is gone. Either the trades were canceled, or someone else bought them.”
Cheng Shuili saw this and opened the trading channel to take a look; it was indeed empty, with all listings marked as completed.
She raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering that she had asked Xinxue to hoard some of these on Sunday. Unfortunately, she hadn't realized their use at the time and hadn't dared to tell Xinxue to hoard too many.
She clicked on Xinxue’s chat box, intending to ask how many cards she had in her possession.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: Didn't you tell me to hoard these earlier, Boss? I bought everything I could get my hands on. I have 16,234 of them now. To be honest, I was a bit nervous before, but as you know, Boss, I have always trusted you the most!
Cheng Shuili was shocked, her fingers flying across the keyboard until they were almost a blur.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Didn't I just say to buy a little for backup? Why did you buy so many?
Xinxue was even more shocked. Fearing she had misremembered, she didn't dare reply to Cheng Shuili immediately. She used both hands to scroll up through the virtual panel to check their chat history. Only after confirming she hadn't remembered incorrectly did she gain the confidence to reply.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: You specifically said “hoard some designated player duel cards”! (Image)
She sent the screenshot directly.
Cheng Shuili’s eyes widened. Could this sentence possibly have any ambiguity?
Hoard some!
The emphasis was on the word “some”!
Cheng Shuili sent this out.
Xinxue paused, no longer in a rush to reply. She scrolled up through their chat history, took several screenshots, and sent them all to Cheng Shuili in one go.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: Boss, isn't this how you always talk? (Image) (Image) (Image…
Cheng Shuili refused to admit defeat. She clicked on the images and looked at them carefully, and then she had to concede.
Cheng Shuili: “???”
Is that really how it is? It’s actually like that?
Fine, let's just say this was a blessing in disguise.
Cheng Shuili shook her head and immediately confirmed with Xinxue how to handle future instructions. After reaching an agreement, she finally realized that this time... they were about to get filthy rich.
Cheng Shuili felt light as a feather. She didn't rush to tell Xinxue to sell, but instead opened the regional channel to take a look. It was already filled with curses.
“@Nainai Little Cake, give me back my designated player duel card! How the hell is your hand so fast? I was just about to cancel the trade and you snatched it?!”
“Are you a psychopath? Who do you blame for being slow? You’re calling out someone in the regional channel just because you saw their ID is a girl? @Nainai Little Cake, don't be afraid, sister; I’ll have your back!”
“Exactly! Just because she’s a little girl, you think she’s easy to bully?”
“Go to hell! I’m the one who’s about to die here; what’s wrong with being anxious? You guys are standing there talking nonsense without feeling the pain. If you were out of cards, you’d be even more anxious than anyone!”
【Nainai Little Cake】: Who do you blame for being slow? The trade is already successful. If you had a better attitude, I might have shown mercy and given you two, but with that attitude of yours, go talk to the King of Hell after you die.
“Sister is so fierce, I love it!”
“Even if her attitude isn't great, you can't just watch someone die, right?”
“Exactly! Damn it, those were all my cards! I don't want to trade anymore! Give them back to me! I’ll return the materials to you! Don't you dare push me; if you push me into a corner, it won't be good for anyone.”
“@Nainai Little Cake, why don't you just give them back two cards? Don't make things look so ugly.”
【Nainai Little Cake】: Return them? I’ll deliver them to you personally. You are truly a generous soul~
