Request

No, that is not right.

Cheng Shuili suddenly realized a very important issue.

"Shielded from the perception of all living creatures."

The prerequisite for shielding is that the subject must be a living creature.

So, are those monsters considered living creatures?

This question was too critical, as it directly affected the strength of this ring.

However, Cheng Shuili could only guess for now; before encountering a monster, there was clearly no way to verify this.

But...

Cheng Shuili suddenly nodded. She was simply amazing for being able to realize this issue! After so many days, she knew that the reason she could stay at the top of the rankings was entirely due to her own genuine capabilities!

Cheng Shuili was very satisfied with herself. She curled her lips, sat down, turned around, and went to open the remaining two boxes.

There were no surprises in the gold supply crate, just a set of common toiletries and a rainproof tarp for a vehicle.

There was also a whole case of canned cola—twenty-four cans in total. It would take a while to drink them all.

The rainproof tarp was a very ordinary one, not even as good as the one currently on Cheng Shuili's vehicle.

Cheng Shuili shook her head and opened the last box.

A bulletproof vest.

Cheng Shuili was somewhat silent. Recalling the items she had opened previously, she realized that obtaining this was actually quite normal.

There were only a few good items that could come out of this box, and the probability was still too low.

She sighed, then suddenly received a message.

【Zhu Xuan】: Are you free to chat?

Zhu Xuan?

Zhu Xuan!

Cheng Shuili frowned. Wasn't this the new head of the organization that Glory had told her about?

How strange. Hadn't it always been Bu Yi Yi who contacted her before? Why did this person suddenly pay a visit today?

However, Cheng Shuili did not care about such things. She raised an eyebrow and replied, "No time."

Zhu Xuan leaned back a little as he looked at those two words. In truth, this person left an impression on him very similar to Chen Qingshan, but unlike Chen Qingshan's inexperienced way of handling things, this person was much smoother.

Smooth yet without losing a sense of arrogance, and now was exactly the time to be arrogant.

But it was indeed Zhu Xuan who had a favor to ask of others right now.

Zhu Xuan looked at Cheng Shuili's crisp and clean reply, tapped his fingertips on the desk twice, and suddenly smiled. He typed slowly: "Miss Cheng is truly worthy of being number one on the leaderboard."

That single sentence was not enough.

After the message was sent, he added another: "It was presumptuous of me."

Cheng Shuili was just measuring the bulletproof vest against herself when she saw the message, and her eyebrows rose.

This person's attitude changed quite quickly.

But the more he acted like this, the more she felt something was wrong. She became even more vigilant. Before she could say anything, Zhu Xuan's message popped up again.

【Zhu Xuan】: Actually, there is a matter I would like to request your help with.

Since Zhu Xuan had put it that way, for Cheng Shuili, this was a transaction.

It was just his choice of words...

Cheng Shuili frowned slightly. A request?

It felt like it might be something rude, but listening to it would certainly not be a problem.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Speak.

Zhu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still did not speak directly. He gifted Cheng Shuili ten Designated Player Duel Cards through the gift system to express his sincerity.

Cheng Shuili immediately received a notification on her end.

"You have received a gift from player Zhu Xuan: Designated Player Duel Card x10."

Cheng Shuili thought he was sensible when she saw the first part, but she was completely speechless after seeing what the gift actually was.

Sending cards was fine; there was no rule saying one could not send cards.

But what was the point of sending the very same cards he had bought from her?

Did this guy really have any sincerity?

She frowned, suddenly remembering that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Cheng Shuili pulled up the system panel, opened her private chat with Chen Qingshan, and after reading the messages Chen Qingshan had sent again, Cheng Shuili fell silent.

Could it be that Zhu Xuan was coming to find her now because of Chen Qingshan and Glory?

Zhu Xuan's message finally came through.

【Zhu Xuan】: These ten cards are a meeting gift and also my sincerity. Whether you agree or not, please accept them first.

Sincerity...

Mm, sincerity.

Important people often have poor memories; it was normal.

Cheng Shuili did not reply and continued to read the messages he sent.

【Zhu Xuan】: The situation within our organization is currently a bit complex, and Glory and Qingshan will certainly not have a good ending if they continue to stay. They have some history with me, so we discussed it and decided that I would be the one to respectfully invite them out of the organization. As for now, aside from your side, there is really nowhere else for them to go.

【Zhu Xuan】: These two younger brothers of mine—one has a reputation abroad, and the other has worked in car repair for several years and has also dealt with you before.

Cheng Shuili interrupted him bluntly.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Do you mean you want me to take in the people your organization doesn't want?

The tone of that statement was too aggressive.

Zhu Xuan was choked up for a moment, and his brow immediately furrowed. He shook his head, composed his emotions, and sent a second message, neither humble nor pushy.

【Zhu Xuan】: I just want to ask you to look after my two brothers for a period of time. To put it bluntly, as long as they can survive, that is enough. Of course, I will not let you go to any trouble in vain.

As long as they can survive?

Cheng Shuili's eyebrows arched upward.

As for taking people in, she actually did not mind. In any case, those who were brought in would certainly not receive the same treatment as Wan Yi and the others.

Zhu Xuan had also said that as long as they were alive, it was fine.

Moreover, what Zhu Xuan said was indeed correct. One of these two had an extremely high reputation, and the other really did have the skill to repair cars.

If this were anywhere else, this skill might be useless, but this was the Highway Survival Game. Vehicles could be said to be the most important items, so it was still quite necessary.

If Cheng Shuili were to take the initiative to recruit them into her team, there might be some issues.

But in this situation, with Zhu Xuan paying to have Chen Qingshan and Glory work as illegal laborers for her...

That was simply perfect!

She had absolutely picked up a huge bargain!

Cheng Shuili thought it over and found that she had no reason to refuse. This was definitely a transaction that had only benefits and no drawbacks!

But the more a transaction looked like it had no risks and only profit, the greater the hidden risks were.

Cheng Shuili frowned and suddenly thought of a possibility. With Zhu Xuan being so abnormal, could these two be coming to her place to act as undercover agents?

That thought was actually a bit of a stretch.

One of these two had served as a spokesperson, and the other had served as a leader for a period of time.

Cheng Shuili would believe it if one said Zhu Xuan was purging dissidents, but saying they were undercover agents...

How was that any different from Cheng Shuili sending Qi Wanyi into the organization as an undercover agent? Even if Cheng Shuili went to be an undercover agent herself, she would not send Qi Wanyi to do it.

Besides, wasn't Glory her insider?

Cheng Shuili paused and immediately tapped on Glory's small window.

The other party seemed to have known she would come to ask and took the initiative to explain why he hadn't reached out to her first.

【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: Wait a moment, the situation report is not yet edited.

Cheng Shuili gave a light click of her tongue. Look at that—people who have been trained are just different!

A situation report, no less!

Who on her side would even use such a term?

Before long, Glory sent a long string of text, simply explaining to Cheng Shuili the current situation within the organization.
