The Insidious Crow

Yes, yes, yes! Of course I want it!

Cheng Shuili followed the same procedure and successfully completed the second transaction.

"No, why are you all giving such good things? I've already cleaned out my pockets to the last hair, but I do have one vehicle repair card, hehe. I don't want much, ten cards should be fine, right? I hope the big boss accepts this!"

Accept, accept, accept! I'll definitely accept this!

The comments below that post completely exploded: "Saying you're poor but actually showing off your wealth, right? I hope Crow ruthlessly rejects you!"

"Are you here to disrupt the market, kid? You'd better be careful. Right now, the most common card everyone has is the designated player duel card! Understand?"

"Forget it. If there were really a surplus, Crow's batch of goods wouldn't sell out. With how crazy everyone is acting right now, I bet Crow is going to make a fortune again this time."

"I'm honestly done. I thought this guy was smart, but what's the point of saying such nonsense? Is there anyone who doesn't know this already?"

"Haven't you guys noticed? Crow is truly a person who is extremely meticulous, to the point of being insidious."

Insidious?

Cheng Shuili paused. Her?

"Elaborate on 'insidious'!"

"Please elaborate!"

"Not a chance, buddy. You don't know Crow is lurking? You dare say that? Other people's cards are all useful, but this one specifically hoarded them! She wouldn't care at all about wasting one!"

"Thanks for your concern, but Crow should be looking at the transaction information in her private messages right now. Let me tell you all why she is so meticulous."

No, Crow really is lurking.

Cheng Shuili thought expressionlessly that if this person couldn't come up with a solid argument, she would definitely make this guy taste what it means to be "insidious."

However, what the person said next made Cheng Shuili raise an eyebrow.

"Think about it, why did Crow choose to strike just when Xinxue Chuji was being mocked by the group? Why didn't she release the cards earlier? Because she was waiting—waiting until the market panic reached its peak and the players were completely desperate. When she strikes then, the price naturally rises with the tide!"

No, that's just because I had just finished trading with Zhu Xuan.

This... isn't this just a coincidence?

"And haven't you noticed? She doesn't set a price at all, but lets the buyers offer their own! This move is ruthless. When people are in a panic, they often overestimate their own needs. In order to save their lives, they will even take the initiative to raise the price! The guy above who offered the vehicle card is the best example!"

I actually wanted to set a unified price, but since I had just traded with Zhu Xuan and his group, it wouldn't look good to give them a lower price, and if I made it expensive, the people in the regional channel wouldn't be able to afford it...

Cheng Shuili clapped her hands hard.

No, is this easy for me?

"What's even more absolute is that she doesn't even give them a chance to haggle; she just says if it's reasonable, she will agree directly. What does this mean? Think about what this means! It means she has completely mastered the rhythm of the trade! You can only gamble, betting that the price you offer will catch her eye! And because it's a gamble, you will unconsciously offer her the highest price you can accept!"

Cheng Shuili: "..."

Huh.

It actually makes some sense.

The regional channel completely exploded because of this analysis.

"Holy crap! It's terrifying to think about!"

"As expected of the number one on the leaderboard, she even uses psychological warfare when doing business!"

"It's over. Now even when I look at big boss Crow's messages, I feel a chill down my spine..."

"You guys said Crow had a superior IQ before, and now isn't this proof of it? How did it turn into being insidious?"

"Isn't this insidious, buddy! I just realized I really gave away the best things I had! Boo hoo!"

"That's why I said Crow is insidious. The word here is definitely not derogatory. I consider myself a person with some experience, having gone through ups and downs several times and seen countless people, but this is the first time I've seen someone like Crow."

"After listening to the teacher's analysis, I feel like Crow is a seventy or eighty-year-old veteran. Is this reasonable?"

Cheng Shuili rubbed her forehead and simply closed the regional channel to focus on processing the transaction requests in her private messages.

Since the insidious persona has already been established, I might as well take the opportunity to make a little more...

Cheng Shuili quickly filtered the offers, prioritizing game coins and rare cards. There were still few people taking out vehicle upgrade material shards for trade, after all, the requirements for the protective barrier had just been raised, and everyone felt a sense of crisis.

This kept her busy until nightfall, having eaten a rushed lunch and a rushed dinner in between.

Cheng Shuili stared at the panel until her eyes were swollen and painful; she really couldn't keep looking at it. She forced herself to stand up and stretch, only then realizing that Su Rui, who had been sitting in the cab all day, had finally come out.

Cheng Shuili couldn't help but sigh again. This work is really not meant for humans!

This is too tiring.

Next time, I'll just leave it to Xinxue.

Xinxue... isn't afraid of being tired!

She had only looked at about a fifth of the transaction information. The private chat page had been dinging non-stop all day—some people were just seeing the news and coming to buy cards, while others had bought once, found the price acceptable, and came back for a second time.

But there were even more beggars! Moral kidnappers! And those saying, "Hey big boss, can we get to know each other?"

Cheng Shuili hated these people who came to crack jokes during transactions the most, especially those who would send a small essay, pretending to be interested in trading at the beginning, and only exposing their real purpose at the end.

They were wasting Cheng Shuili's time!

These are the most hateful!

Cheng Shuili couldn't help but get up and walk around again. Time had passed nine o'clock without her realizing it.

A flash of white light suddenly appeared, and Cheng Shuili was stunned for a moment before she realized the vehicle had successfully upgraded. She stared at the white light in front of her, feeling a bit confused. Did the previous upgrades have this effect?

The last upgrade was at night, and she missed it perfectly. She really didn't remember the ones before that. But no matter what happened before, with such a big commotion this time, it definitely looked like a major stage upgrade!

Su Rui was also shocked by the scene. She stood blankly beside Cheng Shuili, watching the white light stretch, pull, and transform into new things.

The light lasted for a full ten minutes, and when it was finally bright enough to make both of their eyes go blind, it finally dissipated.

Cheng Shuili rubbed her eyes first, and after feeling much more comfortable, she finally turned her attention to examine the brand-new vehicle after the upgrade.

The most obvious change was the space. After the last upgrade, it was only about 30 square meters. It was fine when Cheng Shuili was alone, but now with Su Rui, the two of them living together was indeed a bit crowded.

And now, the entire vehicle's space had directly doubled; it was at least 70 square meters now!

But the newly upgraded vehicle hadn't been designed yet, and there were no partitions. The 70 square meters of space appeared in front of Cheng Shuili just like that, making the carriage look a bit messy instead.

Cheng Shuili wasn't in a hurry to deal with this. She walked around the carriage first.
