Really Not Possible, Big Shot?

Su Rui had this question in her mind, and then she realized that she was one of those people herself.

After delivering the leather armor, Cheng Shuili yawned and returned to the carriage. Seeing Su Rui still standing at the entrance of the driver's cab in a daze, she couldn't help but tease her a little.

No one knew what this person was thinking, but she returned to the driver's cab with a dark expression.

Cheng Shuili stared at the tightly closed door for a while, then continued to watch the regional channel with an innocent face.

Because the team dungeon was tomorrow, the regional channel was currently filled with people shouting for teams.

"Team up, team up! Tomorrow is the team dungeon, need someone who can fight! No dead weight!"

"Looking for a powerful convoy! I can fight and run, and I can cook, I definitely won't let my teammates go hungry!"

"10-man team, already have 7 teammates who are definitely not a problem! Need 3 more who aren't cowards! No other requirements, just bring a melee weapon! If we all go up together, I really don't believe we can't kill a monster!"

"Is there any casual team taking people in? My attributes are average, but I can shout 666, and I can cheer everyone on... Besides, I'm not aiming for rankings or rewards, just being able to pass this dungeon smoothly is fine."

"Are there any big shots' teams still missing people? My attributes are okay, I'll go wherever I'm told! @Angry Crow Takes Flight, @Xun Xun, @Silent Fortune, @Qingshan Trek, @Glory Shines on Blue Star!"

"The person above is clearly an old-timer from the 1000 sub-region."

"Stop tagging them, the big shots' teams must be full long ago, would it ever get to the point of shouting for people on the regional channel?"

Oh right, this matter also needed to be mentioned in advance.

Cheng Shuili opened a private chat with Glory: "Is the team set up yet?"

【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: Does Boss have any arrangements? I only have a rough draft here, nothing finalized yet.

This person really spoke flawlessly, both expressing progress and leaving enough room; he was clearly waiting for her instructions.

He gave her too much face as the boss.

Cheng Shuili shook her head, suddenly feeling a bit guilty for ignoring these two people.

"Just arrange it yourself," Cheng Shuili replied directly. "Take Chen Qingshan with you, I'll feel at ease if you two keep each other company. You don't need to save a spot for me, I have enough people on my end."

Not long after the message was sent, Glory's reply came, with astonishing speed.

【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: Understood. Qingshan and I will look after each other, please rest assured, Boss. I wish you a smooth dungeon run, and if you have any needs, please contact us at any time.

Look at this attitude, this efficiency. Cheng Shuili hooked the corner of her mouth with satisfaction.

Dealing with smart people is truly worry-free.

As the sky grew dark, just when Cheng Shuili thought she might not trade for a Designated Dungeon Opening Card today, 001's notification sound rang out, and it specifically highlighted a private chat message it considered high priority.

【Carpenter A-Zhe】: Hello, Big Shot Angry Crow, I have a Designated Dungeon Opening Card.

The message was concise and to the point, without any unnecessary pleasantries or flattery.

Cheng Shuili's spirits lifted, and she replied immediately.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Hello. Is it convenient to say how you want to trade? Game coins, or barter?

The other party seemed to be waiting for her response as well, replying very quickly.

【Carpenter A-Zhe】: I prefer to barter. Although game coins are good, I currently lack more practical things, or rather... can you, Big Shot, protect me through this dungeon?

Cheng Shuili looked at the other party's request as they showed their hand, and her eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly.

Isn't that a bit too whimsical...

Cheng Shuili was truly surprised and couldn't help but ask.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Protect you through it? You mean, have me take you through tomorrow's team dungeon?

【Carpenter A-Zhe】: Yes, Big Shot! I know this request might be a bit presumptuous, but I really have no confidence in my combat power. For me, instead of gambling on the attribute points of an unknown dungeon, it's more important to trade this card for a chance to safely pass the team dungeon! As long as you agree to look after me a little bit in the dungeon and ensure I can come out alive, this card is yours!

Cheng Shuili's fingers tapped lightly on her knee.

This Carpenter A-Zhe was very smart; he didn't want anything else, just Cheng Shuili's protection. This was a more cost-effective deal for him.

But for Cheng Shuili...

This was just dead weight!

Cheng Shuili had almost no hesitation.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: This trade is not possible.

After the message was sent, the other party seemed to be stunned, not replying for a long time.

Cheng Shuili had originally closed the private chat page directly, but after thinking about how this was the only Designated Dungeon Opening Card that had come to her in such a long time, she opened the private chat again and added a very objective explanation.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: First, I cannot guarantee that I can protect you. The situation in the team dungeon is unknown, and I need to focus on dealing with it myself; I cannot spare the effort to promise protection to a stranger. Second, my team members are fixed; adding people temporarily requires coordination, which might actually increase the risk. Third, and most importantly, I don't like this form of trading. Items, game coins, clearly marked prices, clean and neat. But using favors and uncertain protection as bargaining chips is too much trouble.

Her words were blunt and calm, even somewhat heartless, but they fit her consistent style.

She didn't like owing this kind of protection debt, and she liked even less having an unfamiliar dead weight around who needed extra care at critical moments.

The risk was too high, and there was no way to objectively estimate her own losses.

If the loss of a trade was completely vague, then Cheng Shuili was naturally unwilling to do it.

After a while, the other party's message came back, the tone carrying obvious disappointment and a hint of unwillingness.

【Carpenter A-Zhe】: Really not possible? Big Shot, I just need you to slightly...

Dawdling.

Cheng Shuili no longer wanted to reply.

Cold treatment was also a kind of attitude. The other party seemed to be thrown off balance by Cheng Shuili's coldness, or perhaps afraid that the dungeon opening card would rot in his hands, so he suddenly took a step back and adopted an attitude that everything was negotiable.

【Carpenter A-Zhe】: Wait! Big Shot, please wait! It was presumptuous of me, the request was indeed excessive. Then... then let's do it the normal way! Barter! Big Shot, do you see any equipment or items you have that are suitable for saving one's life or... or are relatively practical that you are willing to exchange? This card of mine is definitely genuine, system-certified! I just want to exchange it for something that can increase my survival probability in tomorrow's dungeon! Please!

He was still somewhat sensible.

Knowing it wouldn't work, he immediately turned to physical goods trading; his reaction wasn't too slow.

However... just equipment or items for saving one's life or practical ones?

He was very clear about his own needs. It seemed he was truly scared out of his wits by tomorrow's team dungeon and just wanted to survive.

With this mentality, even if he were given good equipment, it was hard to say whether he could put it to use.

However, he was just a trading object; Cheng Shuili didn't need to worry about him.

Cheng Shuili rummaged through her room.
