Liang Shanbo had expected the Crow to treat her to something tasty, but she thought it would be at most some rice or noodles...
But it was actually rib soup!
It was really rib soup!
Liang Shanbo was so moved she was on the verge of tears. Oh no, how could she ever fully repay this kindness she owed the Crow?
She had only helped the Crow with such a trivial matter; how could she possibly deserve this bowl of rib soup?
Thoughts aside, Liang Shanbo carefully held the ceramic bowl. The scalding temperature transferred through the bowl to her palms. She couldn't help but lean in closer and take a deep breath...
The rich, meaty aroma mixed with the sharp scent of green onions and ginger rushed into her nasal cavity, making her throat move involuntarily.
Ignoring the heat, she lowered her head to the rim of the bowl and took a gentle sip.
The moment the boiling broth slid into her mouth, the richness of the marrow wrapped around her tongue like silk. The delicious flavor exploded on her taste buds, carrying a slight, spicy kick of pepper that warmed her all the way from her throat to her stomach.
Liang Shanbo couldn't help but let out a soft sound, using her other hand to wipe away the tears that had welled up in her eyes involuntarily. It was too delicious...
It was truly too delicious!
What kind of deity could possibly create this flavor?
The Crow!
At this moment, in Liang Shanbo's heart, the Crow was an existence akin to a god.
Cheng Shuili didn't know what Liang Shanbo was thinking, because she was also lamenting how incredibly delicious the rib soup was. Every time she ate, she felt like offering her knees to Wan Yi.
But she was a big shot...
At the very least, her image was that of a big shot!
Cheng Shuili coughed lightly, opened the private chat page, and sent a message she thought sounded very cold and aloof.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Not bad.
Wan Yi finished reading these three words with a giggle and replied politely and happily.
【Wan Yi】: I'm glad you like it.
As a chef, this was the thing that made Wan Yi the happiest.
Cheng Shuili was completely immersed in the deliciousness of the food. When she took another bite of the meat on the ribs, the system popped up a so-called "surprise."
【Triggered specific surprise from The Wealthiest Person's Daily Necessities! The God of Luck favors everyone who eats well! Stamina +1】
Cheng Shuili read the text on the pop-up window silently. When she reached the last few words, her eyes widened involuntarily.
Wait, you didn't say the surprise was this big?
Stamina just increased by one like that?
Cheng Shuili opened her panel to take a look.

Common Supplies: Omitted.】
A few new items had been added.
Cheng Shuili read through it carefully. The system was actually quite user-friendly; this layout made everything clear at a glance and conveyed a lot of information.
The shopping cart's battery could still last for another day. The refrigerator had never been turned off, and the battery was being used much faster than before.
But these were minor matters; she wasn't short on batteries.
This was probably the composure of being ranked number one.
Cheng Shuili closed the panel and focused on eating, drinking every drop of the rib soup. With a mouthful of hot soup, combined with the howling cold wind and falling snowflakes outside the window, her whole body felt warm.
She squinted her eyes, stood up comfortably, and washed the bowl.
After dealing with these chores, Cheng Shuili's gaze landed on the workstation.
She looked out through the window. As long as her luck wasn't exceptionally bad and the Highway Merge didn't refresh someone right in front of her, she was absolutely safe to craft now.
Cheng Shuili sat in front of the workstation, selected the blueprint for the Basic Water Condensation Device, and prepared the necessary materials.
Four plastic, two rubber, two iron blocks.
Cheng Shuili clicked craft, and her body instantly began to process these materials uncontrollably.
There were many tools on the workstation. Cheng Shuili watched as "she" picked up a tool that was incredibly unfamiliar to her and began using it with extreme proficiency.
Piece by piece, the tools processed the materials, and finally, all the parts were assembled together.
Cheng Shuili only heard a "ding" sound, and a completion prompt popped up before her eyes!
It took three minutes; the speed was quite fast.
【Obtained Basic Water Condensation Device x1】
【Description: After setup, it can produce one liter of pure water every day! This item only has the function of generating water and no function of collecting it! It is recommended to place it next to a water container! Also, we are not responsible if your vehicle gets flooded.】
This thing produced pure water.
The kind you could drink directly?
It was equivalent to producing two bottles of mineral water every day.
The only issue was that it was one liter of water. If it were 500 milliliters, she could just catch it with a mineral water bottle.
All drinking water provided by the system was in 500-milliliter containers, which meant Cheng Shuili had to go buy a separate container to hold the water.
The trading channel remained bustling.
【Dazhuang Ge】: Trading rubber for insulation material, one set for one set, serious inquiries only!
【Sister Xiaomei】: Who has rice, who has rice, who has rice!!! I'm dying of cravings, please spare me a bite.
【Dim Night】: Serious trade, water for food! Genuine mineral water, anything edible is fine, compressed biscuits are okay too!
【New User】: Opened a large water bottle this afternoon, anyone want it? I'm short two rubber.
...
Cheng Shuili's eyes lit up, and she clicked on the private chat with the New User.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Trade.
【New User】: !!! Big shot
【New User】: You want it? I'll give you a discount, one box of self-heating rice, I'll send the trade request directly.
Cheng Shuili: "?"
Raising the price on the spot so brazenly?
And giving her a discount?
Was she some kind of pushover?
Cheng Shuili laughed in anger.
She closed the private chat page with him, deleted him, and blocked him in one go.
She reopened the trading channel and proactively sent a message.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Trading for a water container, a large water container, one that can hold it. Send the trade request directly, if it's reasonable, I will accept.
【Shen Yan】: Wow, I've actually seen a real big shot!
【Yishan Guanlan】: What does the big shot need a water container for? Is there too much water and nowhere to put it?
Someone had a flash of inspiration and followed up with a message.
【New Snow Clearing】: Collecting water bottles, if the big shot has any she doesn't want, you can come to me to trade.
