Never Forget the Original Intention

Exhaustion period? Normal person's level?
This means that whoever goes to kill Crow must withstand attacks while she is at her normal attribute levels...
Soft Little Puff had a serious expression, thinking about what else he should prepare.
If he has to withstand the attacks, it seems he needs to purchase another piece of special defensive equipment!
Just as he was thinking, a message notification suddenly sounded in his private chat.
【Iced Americano Without Sugar】: Still buying?
Soft Little Puff's first reaction was confusion, but then he remembered the message he had posted in the regional channel. This person must have come after seeing it.
Perfect timing!
Soft Little Puff immediately replied: "Let me see the item first?"
"Looks like he's quite cautious," Iced Americano Without Sugar muttered to herself, "Isn't he just a fool?"
Iced Americano hadn't actually had much contact with this person, but based on what she knew, she also considered him a fool.
How could anyone who opposes Boss Crow be a smart person?
Iced Americano shook her head and smirked, ready to fool Soft Little Puff.
...
Cheng Shuili soon received two pieces of good news; both Black Market Old Cat and Iced Americano had sold their items.
The two were also very conscious and simply sent the earnings directly to Cheng Shuili.
Black Market Old Cat's side was pure fabrication with zero cost, so they split the earnings half and half.
As for Iced Americano's side, Xinxue had covered the cost, so Cheng Shuili simply returned the earnings and told Iced Americano to discuss how to split them with Xinxue.
Besides that, Black Market Old Cat also sent a message.
【Black Market Old Cat】: Boss... there has been quite a bit of commotion caused by factions lately. Do you think I... could also join Black Feather?
Right, he was still an external member.
Cheng Shuili began to weigh the pros and cons of him joining Black Feather.
Although she could tell Black Feather members to keep it secret, there is no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. If there are cards that can invade faction channels, there might also be cards that reveal faction members.
If it weren't for the fact that Black Market Old Cat had a clean background, today's events wouldn't have happened.
Although both Xinxue and he were in business, the nature of their work was definitely different.
Xinxue joining the faction would make Black Feather members feel the warmth of their own people, but what about Black Market Old Cat? He certainly wouldn't be as useful to Black Feather.
To put it more bluntly, Black Feather members didn't need to buy information from him because Cheng Shuili was in Black Feather!
Moreover, only as an external member could he play an unexpected role.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shuili made her decision.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: No need. Just stay outside and do your job. Your treatment will be the same as any Black Feather member, so don't worry.
With this assurance from Crow, Black Market Old Cat felt much more at ease. He immediately agreed: "Alright! I'll listen to whatever you say, Boss!"
Ending the chat, Cheng Shuili closed the private message interface.
She stood by the window and looked outside.
Monsters were surrounding the protective barrier in layer after layer, salivating over the people inside the vehicle.
Cheng Shuili stared at a monster that kept baring its teeth at her, smiled defiantly, and then looked up at the protective barrier.
When she looked, she noticed that a new piece of information had actually appeared on the barrier.
【Level 5 Protective Barrier】
【Can only be generated by a Level 5 vehicle; intercepts all monsters below Level 5, including Level 5 monsters!】
【Today is the final day of the extreme heat disaster. The current maximum monster level is Level 2; Level 3 monsters will appear tomorrow!】
Oh?
So the monster difficulty is going to increase again?
Cheng Shuili didn't really care about that. She was more concerned about... the vehicle should be able to upgrade, right? She had been so busy lately that she really didn't remember how many Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards she had saved up.
She opened her panel and found the Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards in her supplies.
The next moment, Cheng Shuili's eyes widened.
On her personal page, it clearly read: Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards x99999!
Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?!!
A BUG! The glorious BUG has returned to the scene!
Cheng Shuili became excited and began searching through the vehicle's storage space for these items.
There were so many that she definitely couldn't use them all by herself.
Since the monster strength was about to increase, it would be good to sell these shards or let Black Feather members upgrade their vehicles! In any case, they couldn't just sit in the storage space gathering dust!
Besides, such bugs are always unstable and might disappear at any moment. Cheng Shuili was just lucky enough to encounter it; not taking advantage of it now would be a massive waste!
Cheng Shuili searched through everything with high expectations, but she didn't see a single Vehicle Upgrade Material Shard.
She frowned, only then remembering that she usually kept such things in the Abyss Ring.
"Ring... ring... hurry up and spit out my Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards!"
Cheng Shuili threatened the Abyss Ring while searching. If she used Insight right now, she would surely be able to see the Abyss Ring complaining.
But things didn't go as Cheng Shuili imagined; there were no Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards inside the Abyss Ring either.
What does this mean?
Cheng Shuili's joy faded, and she already felt a bit of a headache.
This cursed BUG didn't just glitch a number onto the panel, did it? It didn't match the actual items with the number and delete the physical items Cheng Shuili had in her hands, right?
Just imagining this possibility made Cheng Shuili furious.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and searched every possible place she could have put them with a stern face.
None! Not a single one!
Cheng Shuili: "(*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"
She finally experienced today what it meant for sorrow to flow like a river and what it meant to lose everything.
Damn BUG!
Just as Cheng Shuili was cursing, she suddenly thought that the data on the panel might not necessarily be useless.
Although when she upgraded before, she had always placed the Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards together to synthesize them into upgrade materials, but...
The panel could actually synthesize them too, right?
Holding onto the attitude of giving it a try, Cheng Shuili pulled up the vehicle's upgrade panel.
The panel didn't pop up asking whether to synthesize; instead, it defaulted to the assumption that Cheng Shuili already possessed the vehicle upgrade materials and jumped directly to the upgrade plan options!
Great!
Cheng Shuili jumped up directly. It wasn't too much of a loss; at least she recovered 600 Vehicle Upgrade Material Shards.
And... if this BUG still existed after the upgrade was successful, she could continue to get things for free!
Cheng Shuili's breathing quickened slightly as her gaze fell on the two options on the panel.
Plan for upgrading the electric shopping cart from Level 5 to Level 6:
Vehicle upgrade material x1, iron block x199, iron nail x199, alloy parts x200, fiberboard x200, wire x200, energy stone x180.
Vehicle upgrade material x1, vehicle upgrade core x1.
Although this vehicle looked like an off-road vehicle from the outside and a camper from the inside, the panel still listed it as an electric shopping cart. That could be considered a way of never forgetting the original intention, right?
