Chapter 253 · Volume 1

Everything is a Mess

“Oh! That person upstairs just hit the nail on the head! I was wondering why that ID looked familiar! That’s right, that’s right! Back then, people said she was the expert Wanyi. She’s just too low-key and never speaks, so after so much time passed, I really couldn't recall it.”
“Is that for real? Don't mess with us, right? I was actually thinking about taking a gamble on her.”
“Better gamble on someone else. Finding this person is pretty much the same as courting death.”
...
Things had more or less settled down.
Cheng Shuili felt relieved and only then checked Qi Wanyi's reply.
【Wanyi】: I got a minor injury... These people are like a tag-team match. I just finished one, and the next one arrives. Sigh... I don't really care, but it’s just like dealing with flies. It’s quite annoying.
【Crow Takes Flight】: Who told everyone in the regional channel that you’re a food truck?
Qi Wanyi actually knew who it was. She hesitated for a moment and only said that she would handle the matter herself.
Cheng Shuili was a bit silent, but she could only choose to respect the other person's wishes.
She made another trip to the manor to deliver lunch to Zhou Zhuxing and Yu Bing.
The manor was brand new now. Although the furniture was still old, the cleanliness was truly impeccable.
Except for those repairing the well, the other servants were all busy cleaning.
The long table on the first floor had also been set upright, and with a few chairs placed around it, it looked quite decent.
Yu Bing had been impatient for a long time. When she saw Cheng Shuili, she was incredibly enthusiastic, and her eyes stayed fixed on the lunch box with absolute honesty.
Everyone was here, and the guide also curiously wandered over.
Cheng Shuili paused, contacted Qi Wanyi again, and managed to scrape together an extra bowl of food for the guide on the spot.
The guide hadn't expected to have a share, and while sitting at the dining table, he kept thanking Cheng Shuili.
Cheng Shuili had originally worried that they might lack a sense of taste, but seeing the guide’s reaction, it was clear that the territory servant cards and the servants bought from the black market were indeed different.
That was quite good, too.
The group sat around the long table, eating their meal in a harmonious and warm atmosphere.
Just as lunch finished, the system sent out another notification.
Cheng Shuili took a glance; the number of people in this region had dropped below 2,000, and it was time for another server merge.
【The region is now undergoing a merge!】
【Dragon Country Third Region Partition 666 has 1,899 remaining survivors. Dragon Country Third Region Partition 213 has 1,345 remaining survivors. Dragon Country Third Region Partition 444 has 913 survivors...】
【The aforementioned partitions are merging! The current region is now Dragon Country Third Region Partition 12! Total population: 10,000!】
【Survivors, keep up the good work!】
The regional channel, which had been somewhat cold, suddenly became lively again.
“Sigh, finally a merge. The people in our Partition 444 are almost all dead. I don't know what this damn system was waiting for.”
“Isn't it over now that it’s merged? What are you shouting for? Don't embarrass our Partition 444.”
“So what if it merged! It doesn't affect anything! @Nai You Bu Pao, come out and get scolded! If you hadn't suddenly triggered a random dungeon, our Partition 444 wouldn't have had so few people left!”
“Hello everyone! I haven't seen so many people in a long time, I'm a bit excited, haha.”
“Welcome, new friends, to join the Dragon Lake Association! Welcome, new friends, to join the Dragon Lake Association! Welcome, new friends, to join the Dragon Lake Association!”
“We are the strongest guild from Partition 213! Welcome to all new friends!”
“Can any random stray cat or dog come out and bark now? Why don't you look in a mirror and see if you’re worthy first?”
“When did the strongest guild in Partition 213 become your Dragon Lake Association? It’s clearly our Ruyun Association!”
“Ruyun Association? Just a bunch of losers! Your boss died in a dungeon, so why are you still barking? Our three leaders are all alive and well!”
“Yes, yes, your leaders are just like cockroaches. When one dies, there’s another, and they never end. When it comes to the number of bosses, who can compare to you guys?!”
This...
Cheng Shuili was silent for a moment. Why did every partition have their own drama to bicker about?
By comparison, their Partition 666 was truly quite peaceful.
Aside from the merge notification, there was also the latest leaderboard list.
【Dragon Country Third Region Partition 12 Stage Leaderboard - Mileage Leaderboard】
【1st Place: Crow Takes Flight (Mileage: 12,524 km)
2nd Place: Qian Xun (Mileage: 8,423 km)
3rd Place: Broken Iron (Mileage: 7,513 km)
4th Place: Shi Zhi Jiu (Mileage: 7,356 km)
5th Place: Hao Hao (Mileage: 7,123 km)
6th Place: Master of Slacking (Mileage: 7,086 km)
...
9th Place: Xun Xun (Mileage: 6,342 km)
...
】
Besides Cheng Shuili herself, only Xun Xun remained in the top ten.
This merge included several partitions with fewer than 1,000 people, so a total of nine partitions merged together.
Since Xun Xun could reach ninth place, it meant his mileage had already surpassed the top player of an entire partition.
The competition was still too intense.
Cheng Shuili sighed and checked the wealth leaderboard.
【Dragon Country Third Region Partition 12 Stage Leaderboard - Wealth Leaderboard】
【1st Place: Crow Takes Flight (Wealth Valuation: 109.4 gold)
2nd Place: Qian Xun (Wealth Valuation: 42 gold)
3rd Place: Broken Iron (Wealth Valuation: 41.3 gold)
4th Place: Shi Zhi Jiu (Wealth Valuation: 40.9 gold)
5th Place: Hao Hao (Wealth Valuation: 39 gold)
6th Place: Master of Slacking (Wealth Valuation: 38.2 gold)
...
9th Place: Xun Xun (Wealth Valuation: 32.1 gold)
...

Cheng Shuili paused and opened the mileage leaderboard again. The order of these two lists was exactly the same. The top ten players on this leaderboard were all dual-list experts.
She watched for a while, then raised her hand to close the leaderboard and opened the regional channel again.
Those two guilds were still arguing, asking if any new friends were willing to join while they fought; it could be described as very abstract.
The group from Partition 444 was still attacking Nai You Bu Pao; it seemed that he had triggered a random dungeon with an extremely high difficulty, which had killed over a thousand people directly.
In short, the current regional channel was a complete mess.
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow and told Xinxue to take advantage of the chaos and ask what was going on with these two guilds, and whether they had special items or what.
Xinxue's reply came immediately: “Boss! We thought of the same thing! I’ve figured it out. Both of these guilds are just shams, just a name. They don't even have a group chat. They just announce they’ve joined, and that means they’ve joined.”
“The Ruyun Association had one confirmed boss, but they are already dead, and now they are leaderless. The Dragon Lake Association is even more abstract. They claim to have three bosses, but I asked a few people, and the IDs of the bosses I got already total over a dozen. You could say that as long as you want to be a boss, you are a boss.”
Fine.
It was Cheng Shuili who had overthought it.
She stared at the chaotic regional channel for a moment, but she still sent a message. No matter how chaotic it was, she couldn't stop making money.
