Chapter 205 · Volume 1

Professional Car Repair

Calling them letters of commendation—wouldn't they be more accurately described as letters of complaint?
They would only fool these naive and kind-hearted beastmen.
If Cheng Shuili knew what Su Rui was thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud without mercy.
Naive and kind-hearted?
By comparison, it is obviously Su Rui who is even more naive!
After hearing Cheng Shuili's words, Hu Lielie was overjoyed. He remembered that even Hu Lailai didn't have a letter of commendation!
Humans are truly easy to fool; they can be deceived in just a few words!
Hu Lielie immediately called for an attendant to fetch paper and pen. When handing them to Cheng Shuili, he couldn't help but add: "You must write a bit more. Although we do not understand human writing, these letters of commendation are to be read aloud at the meeting! The more you write, the more useful it will be for me later."
Although his words were clearly a plea, his tone sounded more like a demand, and the disdain in his eyes was about to overflow.
Su Rui finally understood why Cheng Shuili wanted to target this beastman. She frowned in disgust and snatched the paper and pen from Hu Lielie's hand with one hand.
Although Hu Lielie was displeased, he did not say anything else.
He didn't even find a stool for the two of them, just stood to the side and watched as they leaned over the glass of the display cabinet, writing one square character after another.
Cheng Shuili had originally intended to have Su Rui write for her, but after seeing the serious, righteous, but truly lackluster vocabulary she had used, she decided to do it herself.
The meaning of the two letters was similar, except one was a mild version and the other was an intense version.
It is good that they are to be read at the meeting, Cheng Shuili thought with interest; if one is to lose face, one should do it in a big way.
The two of them quickly wrote their own eight-hundred-word essays.
The themes of the articles were the same, but if one were to check for plagiarism, the similarity rate would definitely be 0%!
One person's essay did not contain a single dirty word, while the other person's entire text, apart from the pronouns, had nothing that could be taken out and read on its own.
Hu Lielie truly treated them like treasures.
He had seen letters of commendation obtained by other beastmen in the tribe before; not only were they shorter than his, but they were not as simple as his, either.
Hu Lielie was practically wearing the words "a petty person drunk on success" on his face. Once he got the items, his attitude toward the two of them instantly turned cold. While looking down at the "letter of commendation" he couldn't read, he said casually: "Go slowly, I won't see you out."
Cheng Shuili nodded. Only after seeing with her own eyes that another attendant had taken the "letters of commendation" away, saying they were to be taken back to headquarters, did she lead Su Rui out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant House with satisfaction.
"I understand the letter of complaint... but isn't recording this transaction under his name a reward?" Su Rui couldn't help but ask as soon as they were outside.
Cheng Shuili winked at her and feigned mystery: "You still have much to learn from me, Miss Su."
Su Rui: "..."
Learn from her?
Learn what?
Learn to pray to gods and buddhas before every attempt to improve a blueprint, only to get angry and frustrated after finding it didn't work at all, then mutter about sacrificing everything of Su Rui's after a few failed improvements, and finally ask Su Rui to handle the improvement for her?
She is truly the best kind of terrible friend.
Su Rui didn't say it out loud; even if she did, Cheng Shuili wouldn't change.
And... Su Rui was only occasionally annoyed; in fact, most of the time, she was enjoying it.
Sometimes a peaceful life is not bad, and living like this for a lifetime would not be bad either.
Of course... it would be even better if she had a sense of taste.
Su Rui looked at Cheng Shuili's back and couldn't help but shake her head.
She could also be considered her only hope.
The two returned to the vehicle one after the other, Su Rui in front and Cheng Shuili behind.
As for why Cheng Shuili walked behind, it was because she had again cheekily gone to tease the rabbit beastman, and once again, she had angered the rabbit beastman to the point of silence before humming a little tune and returning to the vehicle.
This trip took quite a bit of time, and most people had already come out of the dungeons.
Cheng Shuili got on the vehicle and didn't rush to check her unread messages, but instead found a place to store the Territory Servant Cards.
After stuffing these things into the Abyss Ring, it completely filled the Abyss Ring up.
That is right, although a single card is just a thin slip, the sheer quantity was staggering!
A full five hundred cards; they still had quite a bit of weight when stacked together.
Cheng Shuili rummaged through her supplies to find a wooden box with a combination lock, carefully placed the cards inside, and then set a brand-new password.
She stared at the box for a while, letting her imagination run wild, thinking that this could also count as a safe, right?
Though it was a very rudimentary one.
Cheng Shuili opened her private messages, and the first one was from Chen Qingshan.
【Qingshan Trek】: I am out. Shall we repair it now?
Cheng Shuili's eyes lit up, and she opened the group chat to take a look.
Qi Wanyi was already bored enough to be spamming the group chat.
It is not often you see her like this. Cheng Shuili couldn't help but take a screenshot and watched the fun for a good while before tagging her in the group.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: The car repair expert I found for you is here. Are we merging the highways now?
Xinxue was the first to reply again.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: What??? There are such professions now? I previously thought it was outrageous enough that there were people writing novels in the regional channel, but how is there even car repair now?!
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: For that highway merge card, is the repair expert providing it, or are we? Boss, do we still have any cards?
Cheng Shuili glanced at the more than one thousand cards she had left and couldn't help but reply: "No need to worry about that, there is plenty to go around."
Qi Wanyi finally spoke before Ai Lin.
【Wanyi】: Come, come, come! Hurry up! My service for processing food has stopped, and now I am truly bored to the point of bubbling over.
What an old meme.
Cheng Shuili couldn't help but frown and sent another message to Chen Qingshan.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: The ID is Wanyi. You can go ahead and merge the highways.
Chen Qingshan seemed a bit surprised, but then realized it. He sent a voice message, so Cheng Shuili heard it clearly.
【Qingshan Trek】: So you are not repairing it for yourself? Wanyi? Who is that...? Oh! Wanyi! The one who participated in the hell-level dungeon with you before! Is she one of your people?
Cheng Shuili admitted it directly.
Chen Qingshan didn't say anything else. When Cheng Shuili received another message, it was feedback from Qi Wanyi.
【Wanyi】: Very professional and trustworthy. It is just that he talks a bit too much, and he keeps emphasizing that he is twenty-eight this year. I don't know who asked.
Cheng Shuili didn't reply; she was busy checking the messages in the regional channel.
This hell-level dungeon was still too simple for her. Now she could only look at people in the regional channel complaining about the difficulty of other levels of dungeons.
"I never want to participate in a dungeon again, never again!!!"
The second half of this sentence was shouted out entirely, and clearly, they were having a complete breakdown.
"Haha... hahaha... I talked to the last beastman for two hours, my mouth is dry, and my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth and can't even move! That damned beastman finally let me leave! I should hate him... so why am I a little bit in love with him now?"
This person must be sick, and quite severely, at that.
