【Serenity】: Where did this barking lapdog come from? Did I say something wrong? She got the first-place reward as Angry Crow Takes Flight; what's wrong with her sharing some experience?
Cheng Shuili saw the message and tapped her fingers heavily against the steering wheel.
She originally didn't want to bother with a clown, especially one like Serenity whom she had already schooled once, but he actually dared to insult her steady meal ticket?
The virtual keyboard popped up instantly, and a cold sneer curled the corners of Cheng Shuili's mouth.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Oh, if it isn't Saint Serenity, the same guy I flamed into silence last time. What, are you out here trying to save the world again today?
【Serenity】: Stop being so passive-aggressive! We're all in the same region; what's wrong with helping each other? People like you are just selfish! It's such a small thing; what's wrong with helping us out?
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Hilarious. This is the first time I've seen someone beg for help with such a sense of entitlement. Setting aside the fact that helping is my choice, if you're so selfless, why don't you give all your supplies to everyone?
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Oh, I almost forgot. Last time you were pretending to be a big shot, saying things like 'it's just a box of self-heating rice,' yet you couldn't produce it when asked. Do you just enjoy making people laugh? You clown.
Cheng Shuili sneered, preparing to kick him while he was down, when a private message notification appeared.
【Cumin Mutton】: Big boss, can I trade 10 liters of domestic water for the info?
Cheng Shuili's brow twitched. She was actually short on that; Wan Yi had used too much while processing the wild boar last night. He had used up his own supply first and then nearly drained all of hers.
There was no other way; domestic water couldn't be drunk, so it was basically only used for laundry, cooking, and washing up.
Cheng Shuili mostly just swapped out her clothes since she hadn't found any laundry detergent yet. Since Wan Yi was in full charge of the meals, that only left washing up.
Cheng Shuili had saved a little for herself and handed the rest of the stored water over to Wan Yi.
This trade offer couldn't have come at a better time!
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Sure. Send it as a gift, and I'll give you the information.
Cumin Mutton originally had some doubts, but they felt much more at ease knowing the trade was with Angry Crow Takes Flight. It was the same mentality as buying from a major brand in their previous life.
With such a big reputation and wealth, she wouldn't scam someone over something so small.
Cheng Shuili soon received a system notification.
"You have received a gift from player 【Cumin Mutton】: 10L of domestic water."
Cheng Shuili got up to pour the domestic water into the storage tank and then gave Cumin Mutton a detailed explanation of the moss. The other party quickly relayed the message to their companion who was still in the dungeon.
Not long after, Cheng Shuili received another private message from them.
【Cumin Mutton】: My friend is out! Thank you, Big Boss Crow!
Cheng Shuili smiled and opened the Regional Channel to continue her battle with Serenity.
【Serenity】: Hah, stop trying to change the subject! I might not have as many supplies as you, but I have the courage to speak up for everyone! Unlike you, who hides everything the moment you get a little bit of skill. Everyone is struggling in this world right now; what's wrong with giving us a hand? Would it kill you?
【Serenity】: Besides, what kind of secret is that little bit of experience? Didn't you just get lucky and find a shortcut? You really think you're some kind of big shot? Stop posing!
【Serenity】: Everyone, judge for yourselves. He could help people with just a flick of his finger, yet he insists on putting on airs. If that isn't cold-blooded, what is? If everyone were like him, humanity would have gone extinct long ago!
【Serenity】: Weren't you talking a big game just now? Why are you a mute now? Feeling guilty? Speak up! @Angry Crow Takes Flight
Serenity grew more excited as he spoke, and his messages even began to include typos.
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes. It was getting a bit boring to just trade insults with him. Didn't this guy love moral kidnapping? Well, she'd let him experience what it felt like to be kidnapped.
Her fingertips danced across the virtual keyboard, her words laced with venom:
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Since you're so generous, I'll give you a chance.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Since Saint Serenity is so concerned about the survival of humanity, I'm sure you'd be happy to sacrifice yourself, right? If you can eat a pile of crap, record a video of it, and post it, I will immediately disclose all the information I have on the Regional Channel.
The moment Cheng Shuili's message appeared, the entire Regional Channel exploded.
【Melon Eater No Seeds】: Holy crap! The big boss just went legendary with that one!
【Pure Lemon Spirit】: I'm laughing so hard I'm crowing like a rooster! Hahaha, who could've seen that counter-stroke coming? @Serenity, come on, accept the challenge! Aren't you all about the spirit of sacrifice? (Laughter_pounding_the_ground.jpg)
【Passerby A】: Although... isn't that request a bit disgusting?
【Pro Contrarian】: Wake up, you saint over there! This idiot was the one who started the moral kidnapping! (Slapping_your_face_with_the_Tao_Te_Ching.gif)
Cheng Shuili almost laughed out loud. Where did these people get these emojis? They even had GIFs; it was too perfect!
【Serenity】: Are you people freaking crazy?! @Angry Crow Takes Flight, aren't you disgusted? You'd actually use such low-down tactics?!
【Go Go Duck】: He's mad, he's mad! Weren't you just saying you could help people with a flick of a finger? Now that it's your turn to open your mouth, you can't do it? (Duck_tilting_head_mockingly.jpg)
【True Keyboard Warrior】: @Serenity, double-standard dog confirmed! You curse the moment someone tells you to eat sh*t, but you're so righteous when demanding others sacrifice themselves!
Zhao Hong had originally watched the whole thing as a joke. Anyone with eyes could see that Serenity was just looking for trouble and guilt-tripping people.
But the moment Angry Crow said she would disclose all her information, he could no longer stay calm.
He sat up abruptly. In his excitement, he even wanted to speak up and tell Serenity to just eat it and post the video. That would be a true service to society, far more useful than his empty talk!
The higher-ups had been worrying about those 45 shards for days. If this could actually solve it...
Zhao Hong couldn't hold back and posted a message.
【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: Why don't you just eat it?
The moment that message popped up, the entire Regional Channel fell into an eerie silence for three seconds.
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow, her finger tapping lightly on the steering wheel. An official representative should be a serious person, right? He must have been driven crazy by those 45 shards.
"Pfft." She suddenly laughed out loud, the blue light of the virtual screen reflecting in her curved eyes. "This batch of players is way more interesting than I thought."
【Serenity】: @Glory Shines on Blue Star, are you freaking crazy too?! If you're so brave, you do it!
【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: I wasn't the one demanding selfless sacrifice from others.
Zhao Hong threw up his hands innocently. He really wished he could force the guy to do it.
Those were 45 shards!
If it could really work...
Zhao Hong sighed. What a pity.
The battle on the Regional Channel drew to a close, with only the occasional message popping up expressing anticipation for Serenity's video.
Suddenly, Cheng Shuili saw a very long message.
【Cumin Mutton】: Um... actually, Big Boss Crow is super nice. I was really nervous before trading with her because I didn't have many supplies. But I really didn't expect that she only wanted 10 liters of domestic water—the equivalent of what's in a single wooden supply crate. It was a steal! And it was incredibly useful; my friend has already made it out. Wishing Big Boss Crow a flourishing business!
