Liang Shanbo pinched her throat and replied in a sickeningly sweet voice: "Brother~ Brother~ You're so amazing~ I love men with real strength the most!"
Before the other party could respond, she made a retching motion herself. The last time she had acted this coy was, well, the last time. For the sake of her boss, she was putting her all into this performance.
She coughed twice to clear her throat and then sent a voice message.
"But..." She paused deliberately, "I've met so many boys who just brag, saying how amazing they are, but it all turns out to be lies... Brother wouldn't be that kind of person, would you?"
After sending this, she immediately took a screenshot, switched back to her chat window with Cheng Shuili, sent the image, and typed rapidly:
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Boss, look! This tactic is called retreating to advance; I praise him first and then cast doubt. These types of show-offs fall for this every time! He'll definitely be in a rush to prove himself now!
What on earth was that?
Cheng Shuili clicked on the image to examine it closely and couldn't help but gently press her temples.
Who taught her this? She had completely broken her persona.
Cheng Shuili gritted her teeth, sent the image to Xinxue, and asked about the two questions above.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: That... uh... this... I did mention a little bit to her... but really, just a little, just a little!
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes. She had found the culprit.
What had she turned the child into?
Fortunately, the results were significant.
Brother Invincible's reply came almost instantly.
【Brother Invincible】: Little sister, you just don't understand! I've got the real goods! Do you know why I can participate in a Hell-level dungeon? Because I got my hands on something big! You just wait for the next Wealth Leaderboard update. I won't just say I'm at the top, I'll definitely be in the top few! Everyone currently on that list is going to be pushed down by me!
So proud.
But at least he was saying something useful. Liang Shanbo's eyes curved, and she continued to fish for information.
Cheng Shuili didn't have much free time before she received the definitive news Liang Shanbo had extracted.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Boss! I got it! He said he picked up a land deed inside the beastman town and after choosing to use it, he directly gained a territory the size of a manor. But from what he said, it seems to be time-limited. I don't know the specifics, and he's not replying to my messages anymore; he might have sensed something.
That was fine.
This news was already shocking enough for Cheng Shuili.
What did he mean by "picked up a land deed inside the beastman town"? And the size of a "manor"?
Then what was the idle basement she had gotten after working herself to death and nearly being trafficked?!
Cheng Shuili admitted she was a little envious.
But the item had already been used, and since it was time-limited, it was likely the same as her territory: thirty days of ownership.
Cheng Shuili opened her territory page and checked again. After seeing 【After a player dies, the territory does not drop as an item】, she completely gave up on the idea.
Sigh.
She really hated people with good luck.
Except for Liang Shanbo; she was one of her own.
Cheng Shuili stood up to stretch. Without realizing it, the sky outside had already dimmed.
She knocked on the door of the driver's cab and told Su Rui to stop the vehicle.
She had been cooped up in the vehicle for a day; it was time to go out and move around.
The last day of the Famine arrived silently.
Cheng Shuili opened her eyes early. The system said today was a rest day, and she had been looking forward to it all day yesterday, just waiting for today's announcement.
The other players were much the same, with the regional channel clamoring for the system to come out and explain.
"Rest day! Rest day! Rest day! Can we have a day off? Can we go back to Blue Star? I want to go home!!!"
"It is forbidden to use the global trans-migration as an excuse for kidnapping people into another world! Let us go home!!!"
"Actually, staying here is pretty good. No mortgages, no car loans, and no need to work. Haha, it's just a bit life-threatening. But wait, isn't there a risk to life when working anyway?"
"What exactly has the person above experienced?"
Cheng Shuili felt deeply the same and silently gave this suffering worker a like.
"It's a rest day, aren't you guys looking forward to it? They should be giving out benefits, right? What kind of rest day is it if they don't give us anything!"
"This one clearly has never had a job. Next."
"Whatever. No mileage, no dungeons, no sudden highway merges. As long as they give me one truly danger-free day, I'll acknowledge this as a rest day."
"I hope the system can act like a human for once. Seriously, if it can provide today's meals, I'll immediately support the system's coronation! From now on, it's the king ruling over us!"
"Actually, it already is. Signed, this Stockholm syndrome patient."
"I'm done, why isn't it eight o'clock yet!"
Yes, why wasn't it eight o'clock yet?
Cheng Shuili took another bite of her meal. This morning's food was very simple: white porridge with potatoes.
Even though it was a dish she had eaten often in her previous life, once it passed through Qi Wanyi's hands, it became an unparalleled delicacy!
Cheng Shuili ate spoonful after spoonful. Seeing the bottom of the bowl, she asked Qi Wanyi for more, feeling comfortable enough to continue watching the regional channel.
Regardless of how people perceived it, the flow of time remained constant and always moved forward.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, eight o'clock finally arrived.
The system's voice arrived right on schedule!
But to everyone's surprise, it didn't announce news of a rest day, but instead announced a dungeon.
【Dear players! The once-a-month rest day is indeed today, but life is full of infinite regrets! A player with exceptionally refined taste also took a liking to this auspicious day and chose to use a special dungeon opening card today!】
【Therefore! Dear players, it is a pity that you must undergo a dungeon on your rest day!】
【Random dungeon selection in progress...】
What was that?
Special dungeon opening card?
Cheng Shuili frowned. It was another card she hadn't seen before.
She didn't know who had used it, but whoever it was...
Today, they wouldn't escape being cursed at.
"Who!!! Who is it!!! I've been looking forward to this for a whole day and night! Understand? A whole day plus a night! Damn this person!"
"This is definitely the episode I support the system for the most."
"Then... what is a rest day? Did they stop talking about it?"
"I don't really want to listen anymore. If the treatment is too good, I'll hate this person who opened the dungeon to death. If the treatment is too bad, I'll just feel it's whatever. Either way, it's miserable... No! Who is it?! Why choose today to open a dungeon?!!!"
These were the relatively mild words; the more vicious insults would make one's eyes hurt just to look at them.
Brother Invincible closed the regional channel. It wasn't because his psychological endurance was too weak, but because he was too excited.
Who knew how he felt when he found out the card could be used?
What was a rest day?
What was waiting for a day and a night?
