Group Photo

Cheng Shuili counted on her fingers; in terms of area, she would need to buy 620,000 small two-bedroom apartments for their combined size to even approach this manor.

This number truly shocked her.

She had no real concept of a manor before. When she learned Brother Invincible had obtained such a prize, she felt nothing but envy, but she never had any strong urge to snatch it for herself.

But now, seeing this description and calculating the total area...

Whether she could snatch it or not was beside the point; Brother Invincible, the current owner, had to die!

But as luck would have it!

The guy just happened to have a special dungeon opening card, just happened to be malicious enough to use it to extort supplies from a few top players, and just happened to schedule it on a rest day when the dungeon difficulty was exceptionally low...

Had even one of those factors been missing, Cheng Shuili would not have been able to acquire this manor so easily.

She pressed her palms together, looking pious.

Su Rui, sitting nearby, moved a little closer. If she guessed correctly, this person was about to say something about thanking the heavens again.

"Thank you to Cheng Shuili for her persistence and hard work along the way... Thank you to Cheng Shuili for her bravery and decisiveness..."

Su Rui silently retreated.

She thought she was getting superstitious, but it turned out she was just losing her mind.

Too good.

The item was still in the process of being transmitted, but Cheng Shuili now expressed her full understanding. After all, it was a full 5,000 hectares; she could accept anything now.

She shook her head, humming a little tune as she opened the regional channel, only to see that everyone was actually tagging her.

"@Angry Crow Takes Flight, big boss! Brother Invincible is provoking you! Can you just take this?!"

After this message flooded the panel for several pages, a new one popped up.

"What do you mean by only tagging Big Boss Crow? Aren't I, Big Boss Xun Xun, worthy? Isn't my Big Boss Yu worthy? My..."

"Everyone! I understand what you're all thinking! Since we want to watch the show, why not just summon all the big bosses together! Such a situation is rare; everyone, let's take a group photo to commemorate this!"

"You're right! @Angry Crow Takes Flight, @Yu Linling, @Xun Xun... you big bosses, you can't just let Brother Invincible climb on your heads and poop, can you?"

This message was soon copied and sent by countless others.

But... this is all just spamming; why did that sentence have to be so vulgar?

Cheng Shuili frowned, looking at the words "climb on your heads and poop" with utter disdain. These people were articulate enough, yet they were so afraid that the big bosses wouldn't speak up.

The first one to be smoked out was Xun Xun.

【Xun Xun】: Can you guys stop being so disgusting?

"He's out!"

"Group photo!"

Seemingly because he had spoken, the rest of the people who were tagged started to reply.

【Yu Linling】: Brother Invincible is no good, and you guys don't look like much either.

"Hahahaha, the big boss is too sharp!"

"Hit the nail on the head!"

"Exactly! I just love watching the show (hands on hips), I just want to watch the show (hands on hips), hurry up and start fighting!"

【Busy and Ordinary】: Cards aren't allowed today, so there's no way to kill anyone even if we wanted to.

【Overthinking】: Why are you in such a rush? It's only one more day of life for him, it doesn't matter, right?

"Is this what big bosses are like? Deciding someone's life or death in casual conversation!"

"Where's Crow? Crow, come out and say something!"

"@Angry Crow Takes Flight, @Angry Crow Takes Flight, @Angry Crow Takes Flight!"

Cheng Shuili scratched her head. These people were so pretentious, and they felt so out of sync with her that she didn't even want to speak.

But since it had already come to this...

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Is anyone moving tomorrow morning? Let's make sure we don't overlap.

"Ah... Group photo!!! Group photo! The top five on the wealth leaderboard! With the richest person on the whole server! Group photo!!!"

"Group photo! And it's all on one page! Crow is about to be pushed off if one more message comes in! Crow is so good at sending messages!"

"Damn, I don't even know what I'm excited about. It's not like anything they say will change my fate of gnawing on compressed biscuits at noon, but I get so hyped seeing these messages!"

"I feel you, upstairs!!! But I think it's because they're discussing the fate of the culprit who made you eat compressed biscuits? This feels quite magical. It's like they're my backers, haha, even though I've never said a word to them, it's so strange!"

"Yes, yes! It's so strange, it's just like having a big boss come out to vent my frustrations! So satisfying! Crow, you guys must stay this strong forever!"

【Xun Xun】: If Big Boss Crow is going to make a move, I won't join in the fun.

【Overthinking】: If Crow is coming, Busy and I can rest easy; we won't add to the chaos.

Yu Linling didn't seem to have seen the message. Cheng Shuili wasn't in a hurry, but these people were more anxious than the next.

The regional channel waited quietly for a while, and seeing no response, their patience wore thin. One by one, they started pulling the "homeroom teacher" routine to urge her.

"@Yu Linling @Yu Linling @Yu Linling, Yu Yu, what are you doing! Hurry up and answer our Crow!"

"@Yu Linling, you're wasting a minute of everyone's time, and with so many people in the regional channel, you've wasted many hours! Cherish time, hey!"

"@Yu Linling, you are the worst student I have ever taught!"

Cheng Shuili sometimes really felt that these people didn't care at all if Yu Linling would reply; they just wanted to say those things.

【Yu Linling】: Sorry! Sorry! I was just cooking! Sorry for keeping everyone waiting, I really apologize! It's best if Crow takes action to deter these people. Anyone who wants to use this card in the future will have to think carefully about Brother Invincible's fate.

He sounded quite domineering, but everyone's focus wasn't on that.

"Eating so late."

"As expected of a big boss, actually cooking their own food."

"Cooking? That means it's definitely not junk fast food like compressed biscuits and bread, right? I'm jealous."

Cheng Shuili nodded as she looked at this message. This was a good opportunity to establish authority. She had thought these people would be superficially polite while actually scrambling to do it themselves, but she didn't expect them to push it to her just like that.

But then again, these people were truly detached and calm; they rarely spoke in the regional channel, and they were probably just genuinely annoyed by the trouble.

Moreover, Overthinking and Busy and Ordinary had only risen to their positions after Barbecue Brother Zhou and Yu Linling's previous rivals had died. Their predecessors had been wiped out like that, and having provoked Crow before they died, anyone with a brain knew who had done it.

Now, their attitude toward Crow was, of course, respectful, even carrying a strange sense of gratitude for being helped.

Yes.

Don't look at it as just a few spots; the rewards for these rankings on the leaderboard were worlds apart.

The matter was settled, and it should have ended here.

But... the other protagonist suddenly appeared.
