After receiving the confirmed news, the organization immediately began its tally, checking how many Designated Player Duel Cards each person still needed and gauging everyone's willingness to purchase.
This disaster was too peculiar; for players who had already been robbed of their food, the most important thing was no longer the Designated Player Duel Cards, but food itself.
Moreover, they had no food left in their hands, so what did it matter if they encountered drifters? They wouldn't even be able to use these cards.
Therefore, everyone's purchase intentions differed, and they only needed to count the required quantity. In matters of life and death, the organization always acted quickly, and this time was no exception.
Zhu Xuan soon obtained an accurate figure: 1,246 cards.
Very well, this single transaction would be enough to empty the organization's public inventory.
After confirming, Zhu Xuan sent the number to Don't Want to Work.
Don't Want to Work couldn't help but click his tongue. Could Crow really produce such a large amount?
He was indeed worrying needlessly. Forget this number; even if they added a zero to the end, Cheng Shuili could still produce it.
Cheng Shuili was actually somewhat disappointed when she saw the figure.
This indicated that the organization's membership was not as large as she had imagined, or perhaps more of them possessed foresight and had not sold the Designated Player Duel Cards distributed by the system from the start, which was why the current demand was so low.
Cheng Shuili didn't dwell on which situation it was. Since the specific quantity was decided, the trade could proceed.
Before the trade, Cheng Shuili specifically asked Xinxue about the purchase price.
She had truly bought at a bottom-tier price, and being reluctant to spend her own game coins, the vast majority had been exchanged using basic materials.
One could say she was exceptionally skilled at shopping.
For this trade, Cheng Shuili's first choice was Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards, followed by game coins, and whatever remained would be various vehicle cards, blueprints, and other rare items.
If they couldn't provide these, high-level materials and basic materials would also suffice, though, of course, the quantity would have to be increased significantly.
If the quality wasn't enough, one could only make up for it with quantity.
Although her warehouse for storing these was getting a bit full, she had already found a way to handle it, hadn't she?
Zhu Xuan consulted with several leaders for quite a while before finally offering 10,000 game coins, 200 Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards, and three blueprints.
They believed this was sufficient.
Other vehicle cards were relatively rare and had to be opened from higher-level chests; the old die-hards were unwilling to take such items out for trading.
Zhu Xuan had no objections and went directly to Cheng Shuili with this result to negotiate.
Cheng Shuili was reasonably satisfied. She was somewhat surprised that the organization could produce 10,000 game coins at once. But upon reflection, while they might not have anyone like her who could earn so many coins in one go, they had strength in numbers.
If everyone contributed a little, it added up to a not-insignificant sum.
After a bit of mutually understood, polite haggling, Cheng Shuili agreed to the deal.
Before closing the chat box, Don't Want to Work sent one last message.
【Don't Want to Work】: If you ever need to process these blueprints in the future, I hope you can give our people a discount.
That was certainly no problem; being amicable made it easier to do business next time.
Cheng Shuili agreed to the request quite readily.
After the trade was completed, she spun around in place, happy, because she had finally gathered enough shards to upgrade her vehicle!
Cheng Shuili didn't even have time to look at what the three blueprints were before she retrieved 100 Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards as quickly as possible.
Three hundred shimmering golden shards lay together, making Cheng Shuili's eyes dizzy. She immediately clicked synthesize, the vehicle upgrade materials to go from level four to five...
Finally in her hands!
In a pleasant mood, Cheng Shuili hummed a little tune and opened the vehicle upgrade page. She had all the materials required for the upgrade, so there was no need to worry...
Next was the beauty of upgrading!
There were still two options for upgrading the electric shopping cart from level four to five.
Vehicle Upgrade Material x1, iron block x199, iron nail x199, alloy parts x99, fiberboard x99, wire x99, energy stone x60.
Vehicle Upgrade Material x1, vehicle upgrade core x1.
Cheng Shuili's smile froze. She had all the materials listed previously, and she wasn't lacking any of them. Last time she upgraded, she had been stuck on 99 wires, but now, never mind 99, she could even produce 199.
But the problem was...
Whose vehicle upgrade requires a full 60 energy stones at once?!
Sixty! Are you kidding me? Does this upgrade have some qualitative change?
Cheng Shuili frowned tightly, finally resigning herself to taking out the vehicle upgrade core she had opened when the server first launched.
It was time to use the core.
A material's life is spent waiting for the moment to be used. Cheng Shuili might forget the first vehicle upgrade core she used, but she would always remember this second one.
All because this core was replacing a full 60 energy stones!
Cheng Shuili gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "This upgrade better have a qualitative leap..."
Otherwise, this was just cheating people!
She would file a complaint!
Even if she hadn't found the channel yet.
Cheng Shuili closed her eyes and ruthlessly pressed the upgrade button.
This upgrade required a full 12 hours. It was nine o'clock in the morning, so she would have to wait until nine o'clock in the evening.
Something she had been looking forward to for so long had finally been achieved.
Cheng Shuili let out a long sigh and looked at the remaining Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards in her hand; there were still 96 left... The next upgrade would surely take a long time to save up for again. Plus, now that she had no more vehicle upgrade cores, collecting materials later would be another hurdle.
She shook her head, feeling a bit hollow inside.
How strange.
Cheng Shuili laughed at herself in her heart. Had she actually developed feelings for a vehicle upgrade core?
She cheered herself up before gathering the energy to check the three blueprints she had just traded for.
【Basic Vehicle Rainproof Tarp Blueprint】
【Effect: Create a waterproof tarp that can perfectly cover your vehicle! After using it, you won't need to worry about rainy days anymore.】
【Production Materials: plastic x10, rubber x2, iron block x4, iron nail x4】
The required materials were all very ordinary.
And in terms of effect, it was a bit lackluster. Who would worry about a rainy day? What one really needs to worry about is an acid rain day, right?
But the effect didn't state that this thing could prevent corrosion.
Cheng Shuili felt a bit regretful, but even more regretful that she had no energy stones left; otherwise, she could improve this blueprint right now.
She put the blueprint away and checked the second one Zhu Xuan had given her.
