【Emergency Oxygen Circulation Device Blueprint】
【Effect: Provides short-term oxygen circulation in a confined space, suitable for emergency survival in extreme environments or during vehicle failure.】
【Production Materials: Alloy parts x5, wire x10, plastic x8, power unit x1, energy stone x2】
Cheng Shuili’s eyes lit up; this blueprint was actually quite interesting.
Although she didn't need it at the moment, if she were to encounter weather with toxic air or severe smog, this thing might just save her life.
Unfortunately, the required materials were somewhat rare. Setting aside the energy stones, she hadn't even heard of this power unit, so she could only set it aside for now.
But then again, if it were an exceptionally good blueprint, why would Zhu Xuan be willing to part with it?
If it were truly indispensable, even if their organization didn't have a workstation, they wouldn't be willing to trade it to Cheng Shuili just like that.
When the final blueprint was unfolded, Cheng Shuili’s fingers paused slightly.
【Ground Anchor Fixing Device Blueprint】
【Effect: Firmly secures your vehicle to the road. As for when you should release it, that is something for you to consider.】
【Production Materials: Iron block x20, iron nail x10, alloy parts x8, fiberboard x10, wire x6, energy stone x2】
This...
Cheng Shuili didn't immediately judge it, instead looking back at the previous two blueprints. The last two were actually both designed to deal with disasters; the first one could barely count as one too.
It was no wonder she had to have Don't Want to Work emphasize that the processing fee was cheap. If the corresponding disaster really arrived, these items would definitely count as necessities.
Cheng Shuili picked up the three blueprints and flicked them gently. Originally, she had felt that she had undercharged the organization, but after seeing these blueprints, she was certain that she had undoubtedly gotten the better end of the deal.
Zhu Xuan had someone send out the Designated Player Duel Cards they had traded for, and the next step was to collect the supplies one by one to replenish the public inventory.
He stared at the chat page for a while. In truth, he had a bit of an ulterior motive in giving those three blueprints to Crow. Now that Crow was number one on the leaderboard—the strongest and wealthiest person in the entire sub-region—winning her over was a good thing for the entire organization.
Although he hated to admit it, Zhu Xuan was absolutely certain that without a workstation, there was no way to sustain an organization.
Whether it was them or those civilian groups, it didn't matter.
If Crow ever had the slightest intention of creating an organization, those of them without a workstation would have to step aside.
As long as she displayed her blueprints, not to mention free processing, even if she charged eighty percent less, a huge number of people would be scrambling to join her organization.
If she were even more heavy-handed and only offered processing to those who joined her organization...
Zhu Xuan didn't even dare to think about it.
Not to mention, she still held the title of number one on the leaderboard.
Zhu Xuan sighed again. The only regret their organization had was probably not having anyone who possessed a workstation.
These three blueprints were a gesture of goodwill, and also a stepping stone for a long-term friendship with Crow.
Zhu Xuan lowered his eyes, hoping that Crow would understand the meaning behind them.
Cheng Shuili was a smart person, and the meaning was laid out right in front of her. Even the agreement she had with Don't Want to Work about the "cheap" processing was just a casual verbal agreement; the level of trust there was self-evident.
Cheng Shuili placed these three blueprints together with the others and opened the regional channel, intending to start selling the Designated Player Duel Cards.
What was interesting was that someone in the regional channel was actually tagging Xinxue.
"@Xinxue Chu Ji, aren't you able to stockpile in advance every time? Why aren't you coming out to sell this time? Even if it's a bit more expensive, that's fine! Just don't leave me without any cards! I don't want my food to be snatched away by those savage beastmen, boo hoo!"
"@Xinxue Chu Ji, are you useless or what, you big profiteer! Come out and sell the Designated Player Duel Cards! I’m really scared!"
"No... can you guys stop tagging him? Even if he's well-informed, he can't stockpile the right things every time! And if this guy had any cards in his hands, would he even need you to tell him? He would have jumped out to announce the sale himself long ago!"
"I bet you guys want to see this. 【Xinxue Chu Ji】: Selling Designated Player Duel Cards."
"Hahahaha, exactly!"
"Alright, alright, let's disperse. A generation of profiteers, the curtain falls here."
"They can mock this too? I really can't stand it. He managed to earn money at least, and the fact that he's still alive despite such a bad reputation proves what? This is strength! You guys only dare to mock him with your mouths; not a single one of you dares to do a real 1v1!"
"Save it, okay? Do you really think everyone else is brainless? If you're dissatisfied with someone, go up yourself, don't just stay here saying all these messy things to provoke others."
Cheng Shuili watched for a while, and after noticing that the trend was turning sour, she directly posted her edited sales information.
【Crow Takes Flight】: Selling Designated Player Duel Cards. Name your price; if it’s reasonable, I will agree directly.
"???"
"No way, there really are some?"
"Hey! You guys look at what I said? Xinxue Chu Ji’s message must be like this! But what are these last two sentences? Huh?"
"Huh? Crow Takes Flight?!"
"No! Did you guys see clearly? It’s not Xinxue Chu Ji! It’s the big boss Crow?!"
"Ahhh! Big boss, you’ve fallen! How did you start doing this kind of business!? Boo hoo, I’m a Crow fan and I’m so sad!"
"The one above is a fake fan, right? We fans are very rational! Crow, you just keep flying, we Crow Fans will follow forever!"
She had fans?
Cheng Shuili was somewhat silent. She hadn't even done anything, had she?
Wasn't it just always being number one on the leaderboard, having a few server-wide announcements, setting a few records in hell-level dungeons, and opening a bakery?
That resulted in fans?
No.
Cheng Shuili couldn't keep up the act anymore. She broke character in a second, a proud smile appearing on her face. Thinking about it, it was true—she was starting to fall in love with herself too.
But this wasn't the time for that.
Cheng Shuili didn't rush to look at the transaction information in her private messages, but instead opened the regional channel to take a few more looks. She needed to determine the trend first before setting the transaction prices.
"What did I say earlier? Big boss Crow wouldn't even deign to push someone out to be a scapegoat. Even if there was someone behind Xinxue Chu Ji, it definitely wouldn't be big boss Crow!"
"Big boss Crow really did come to do it herself; she really isn't afraid of us scolding her."
"With this big boss's temper... who would dare to scold her?"
"I'm really convinced. Can you guys stop chatting about these useless things? I want to buy a Designated Player Duel Card! I need to know your asking prices! Talk about something useful!"
"I'm only buying one. I'll offer 20 game coins, hope Crow agrees."
Cheng Shuili, of course, agreed. She clicked directly on the person's avatar to enter their private chat page and quickly completed the transaction.
"I'm buying four cards. I'm offering four Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards. Don't know if the big boss wants them."
