Only Child

After reading through, Cheng Shuili had a general understanding of the situation within the organization.

Glory sent another summary.

【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: In short, the situation here is too complex. Chen Qingshan's identity is very special, and even if he is unwilling, there will be a group of people pushing him forward, so withdrawing from the organization is a helpless move.

Cheng Shuili nodded and asked about Glory's own situation.

【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: The time with Zhibai De Zhi was an unauthorized action, and the punishment was only given now. It just so happens that I am withdrawing from the organization along with Chen Qingshan. Zhu Xuan said this way, we can look after each other.

Look after each other?

Cheng Shuili was speechless. This wasn't grocery shopping; was he buying one and getting one free?

However, Glory's situation was indeed awkward; even an outsider like Cheng Shuili could see that.

Glory, being in the thick of it, must have felt it even more clearly.

Cheng Shuili sighed and extended an olive branch to Glory. In fact, for her, Chen Qingshan was the one being thrown in for free.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Come on over.

The moment Zhao Hong saw these two words, his eyes reddened. In truth, he didn't want much—just to live well and do a few things properly—but even that was something the organization couldn't give him.

He had long imagined a day when he would say these things to Angry Crow, but he never expected it to be Angry Crow inviting him to join.

Zhao Hong rubbed his eyes, once again confirming that Angry Crow was a person worth following.

For Cheng Shuili, she and Glory did have some unpleasantness at the beginning. Glory had used moral blackmail on her, and Cheng Shuili had retaliated. But their later trades were quite pleasant; you could say they became friends through conflict.

Moreover, after Glory no longer represented the organization, Cheng Shuili could feel that his character was actually quite decent.

But these were just the obvious reasons, and they were not enough for Cheng Shuili to send those two words.

Pleasant trades and good character—there were too many people like that on the regional channel, they were everywhere.

As for why she invited Glory specifically...

Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes. Of course, it was because Glory had served as a spokesperson! Even now, most people on the regional channel still had a natural fondness for his ID.

This was very rare.

He could be considered a false god that the organization tried to create but failed.

God loves the world. Carrying that name, Glory really did seem to look after everyone selflessly, just like sunshine.

If one were to compare Glory to an object, he was like a battery—absorbing power from the organization and then supplying that power to everyone on the regional channel.

Unfortunately, the organization could not afford such consumption.

Cheng Shuili knew a little about the organization's struggles, from using information to gain profit in the beginning to later directly stripping Glory of his position...

Cheng Shuili shook her head. Actually, she also felt it was a pity.

Regardless, the organization's decision to stop Glory from speaking was definitely a wrong one.

This meant that all the resources they invested in the early stages went down the drain, and now... as long as Glory joined another organization, the organization's previous efforts would have been in vain, serving as a wedding dress for someone else.

Cheng Shuili originally thought they would restrict Glory for his whole life until they no longer had the ability to do so, or simply eliminate the trouble that was Glory.

She didn't expect Zhu Xuan to release the person so easily.

Cheng Shuili couldn't help but shake her head again. She knew that Zhu Xuan had joined the organization after the server merge, meaning the previous organization's efforts had nothing to do with him... This really was, spending resources that weren't your own, you simply don't feel the heart ache.

She complained a few words in her heart but didn't say anything out loud. In any case, she was the one taking advantage, so she was the least qualified to speak.

【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: Okay.

Alright.

That part was settled.

Now only Chen Qingshan was left.

Cheng Shuili had a very clear positioning for these two. Glory could be kept for the time being. The team dungeon was starting next week, and the number of people in Cheng Shuili's team would definitely increase. This person would definitely be of great use in the future.

As for Chen Qingshan...

His replaceability was too high.

But using him as illegal labor would definitely be fine. She didn't agree to Zhu Xuan's request directly but first asked about the supplies the other party was willing to pay.

Since it was a transaction, it had to be negotiated clearly.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: What are the specific conditions?

After sending this message, Cheng Shuili tapped her fingers lightly on the desk. She was in a really good mood. Moving her lips...

Oh, wait, moving her fingers could get her supplies. Could she have more of this, please? She wouldn't mind at all.

Zhu Xuan's reply came quickly.

【Zhu Xuan】: One thousand game coins per month, plus two vehicle cards, is that okay? Also, after they join your team, they will follow all your arrangements and will have no further dealings with us. As for how many supplies you ask them to hand over... I believe they will have no objections.

Cheng Shuili stared at this message for a full three seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

The supplies were average, but the condition that followed was unbelievably generous.

This was practically paying to sign an indenture contract.

Cheng Shuili already felt a bit of sympathy for Chen Qingshan; he was even more unlucky than Su Rui.

Actually, Zhu Xuan's words were just polite, like a mother sending a child to school, telling the teacher to discipline them well and saying it was okay to use force if necessary.

Could a teacher really use force?

But Cheng Shuili would really use force.

Her fingertips hovered over the screen for a moment. As if she didn't mind the chaos, she opened a private chat with Chen Qingshan.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Your brother is about to sell you off, did you know?

Chen Qingshan also replied quickly.

In Chen Qingshan's view, he had submitted his resume, after all. Even if Boss Cheng Ershui wanted to refuse, she would definitely send a rejection message, right?

He waited nervously for a long time and finally received a message, but it was such a baffling statement.

Chen Qingshan scratched his head and asked.

【Qingshan Trek】: My brother? Who? I'm an only child.

Cheng Shuili paused, then suddenly realized.

She finally knew what was wrong. They hadn't even coordinated with each other?

No wonder both of them were approaching her one after another!

Cheng Shuili suddenly perked up. She realized that since they hadn't coordinated, she could completely take advantage of both sides!

Cheng Shuili's fingertips danced nimbly across the screen, and the corner of her mouth hooked into a cunning arc.

She first replied to Zhu Xuan:

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: One thousand game coins is too little; I want two thousand. And your organization should have compiled data, right? Information on monsters, or information on some uncommon items, include that too.

After sending this, she immediately switched to Chen Qingshan's chat window:

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I read the message you sent. Your conditions are not bad, but they don't quite meet my standards here. If you insist on coming, there might be a difference in treatment compared to other members. Think about whether you can accept that.
