Glory had just finished creating the file, formatted as a PDF and titled "Complete Monster Data."
It was clear he had put a lot of effort into it.
After confirming there were no major issues, Cheng Shuili forwarded it to the What to Eat Tonight group chat.
Yes... she hadn't changed the name.
There had been people chatting in the faction channel earlier, but the moment these messages appeared, they drew everyone's attention directly into the group chat.
"This title..."
"Holy crap! You guys hurry up and open it! It's full of monster data, basically one per page. There are actually hundreds of pages!"
"Is this internal intelligence from Black Feather? Am I one of them now? I... I feel so honored!"
This sentence carried a kind of simple, earnest joy, and seeing it, Cheng Shuili couldn't help but curve her lips slightly.
She was the leader of Black Feather, and this was what she owed them.
At the same time, as members of Black Feather, keeping secrets was equally mandatory.
It's better to state the ugly truth upfront; now that the sweet carrot had been given, it was time to set the rules.
【Crow Takes Flight】: This information is one of Black Feather's core secrets, and it represents a great deal of effort. Everyone must keep it strictly confidential. It is forbidden to disseminate or leak it in any form. Once discovered, there will be no forgiveness.
"Understood! Don't worry, Boss! If anyone leaks it, I'll be the first to object!"
"+1! This is practically a life-saving manual! Only a fool would leak it!"
"Loyalty! Black Feather's kindness is something I can never repay!"
Everyone sounded sincere now, as long as they didn't act one way to her face and another behind her back.
Speaking of which...
Cheng Shuili once again took out a Designated Player Duel Card to use it, but received the same prompt as before.
She sneered. The way Broken Iron operated was truly cautious.
After expressing their loyalty in the group chat, everyone returned to casual conversation. Now that everyone knew the disaster next week would be toxic mist, and since those in the group were considered elite players, they were naturally aware that the system would stuff some life-saving items for the coming week into the supply crates on Sunday.
But this week...
"What exactly is the system trying to do? There's not even a single warning now?"
"Forget about them not issuing gas masks, there aren't even any supply crates on the road. If the boss hadn't told us to keep moving forward, I really wouldn't even want to drive."
"It's fortunate I joined Black Feather. If I had joined another organization, I would definitely have been a sucker again, having to buy gas masks from Xinxue at a high price."
"It's still more profitable to follow the boss..."
......
After Cheng Shuili finished dinner, the sky outside had already turned dark.
By the time night had completely shrouded the earth, not a single supply crate had spawned on the highway.
The situation this afternoon seemed strange no matter how one looked at it. Combined with the fact that the system hadn't popped up to say anything, Cheng Shuili speculated that it was probably holding back some major move for tomorrow.
But as for how Cheng Shuili felt? Naturally, she was quite looking forward to it.
Just as she was thinking this, her private messages suddenly pinged with a notification.
【Black Market Old Cat】: Boss! Someone just came to buy your specific stats, the ID is Soft Little Puff. Not to be rude, but is this guy an idiot? You're number one on the leaderboard! Where are we supposed to find your stats?!
Cheng Shuili hadn't expected something like this to happen either.
Soft Little Puff? Where did this person crawl out from? Why would they buy her stats for no reason?
Just as she was pondering this, Black Market Old Cat sent another message.
【Black Market Old Cat】: Boss, the people who come to me for this kind of stat information are usually looking to kill someone.
He didn't continue, but the implication was clear.
Cheng Shuili let out a light scoff and asked:
【Crow Takes Flight】: How did he ask? The exact words.
【Black Market Old Cat】: He just asked "The specific stat panel for Crow Takes Flight, strength, agility, stamina, etc., how much to sell it for." I said where would we get that kind of thing? Who could possibly know the data of the number one player? He actually said "Aren't you known for knowing everything? Think of a way, the price is negotiable." Boss, do you know him? I think this guy is either stupid or driven crazy with urgency.
Cheng Shuili's eyes turned cold.
Driven crazy with urgency?
She certainly didn't know this person, but she could get to know him.
Cheng Shuili called 001 out from the workstation: "Go check what this ID has said on the regional channel."
001's expression was still a bit dazed, but its efficiency-first programming made it react immediately: "Yes! Boss!"
There was no function to search by ID in the regional channel; the only thing that could be searched was what players had said.
To find out what a player had said, one had to flip through the regional channel from beginning to end and then filter for that ID!
One had to realize that this wasn't some small group chat with a few dozen people; the regional channel was a "channel" with thousands of players as a baseline! The chat history for a single day alone could equal that of a small group chat over a year or even several years!
Thinking of this, Cheng Shuili couldn't help but sigh again: "Only 001 could do this kind of work."
001 never failed Cheng Shuili's trust. After finishing today's retrieval, it immediately reported to her: "Boss, today's statements have all been found. Shall I show them to you directly?"
Show them directly.
Cheng Shuili had a strange intuition that the information she wanted was right in there.
Cheng Shuili quickly browsed through the today's speech records filtered out by 001.
The information on the regional channel was complex, but the posts from this ID were few. Most were just trivial supply exchanges or generic sentiments.
However, a few interesting posts immediately caught her attention.
【Soft Little Puff】: Dark Star is the most badass! Certain factions shouldn't be too arrogant, just you wait!
【Soft Little Puff】: Boss is domineering! We will definitely succeed!
【Soft Little Puff】: Hmph, acting so magnanimous, who knows how panicked they really are inside. Our boss has his own arrangements.
The most recent one was from ten minutes ago:
【Soft Little Puff】: Buying special equipment that can be used for killing, or defensive gear like bulletproof vests! Urgent! High price!
Seeing this, the sneer at the corner of Cheng Shuili's mouth deepened.
The clues had connected.
This "Soft Little Puff" was one of Dark Star's people, and very likely a confidant of Broken Iron.
As for the final request to purchase special equipment, combined with the move by Broken Iron's side to try and buy her stat panel, the objective was blatantly obvious.
Very well... Broken Iron was truly impressive.
He was stalling with a Designated Player Duel Card while simultaneously arranging for someone to prepare to make a move on Cheng Shuili.
Thinking back to the begging messages the other party had sent in private...
Cheng Shuili was a bit speechless. Was this guy really speaking the most cowardly words while doing the most suicidal things?
If it weren't for the fact that it was already dark and merging highways meant being beaten by a group of monsters, Cheng Shuili would have really wanted to use a Designated Player Duel Card to deal with this subordinate first!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned...
However, Cheng Shuili's beautiful eyes rolled, and she instantly thought of a revenge plan.
The expenses for the other party coming to buy her information and acquiring special equipment must have been covered by resources from Broken Iron or Dark Star, right?
