Relief

【New Snow Clearing】: Why are there so many little pests in the regional channel?

【Begonia】: @New Snow Clearing, don't be modest, you're one of them too.

New Snow: "..."

How could someone say that about a business person? It really is beneath one's dignity, truly beneath one's dignity!

Cheng Shuili had anticipated this issue long ago. She was just about to post a unified reply when she saw this message from New Snow Clearing at the very bottom.

Very good, the attack power is quite high.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I'm not sure about the probability of catching prey, but it is certainly possible to catch some. I am not responsible for the results after processing.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: (Image) (Image), these are the prey I've caught. The ropes on the prey are the simple hunting traps I'm offering to process.

What Cheng Shuili posted was Liang Shanbo's prey. Aside from that sentence, everything else she said was the absolute truth.

【Little Bee】: I recognize the rabbit, but what is that other thing? It's so big! It must have a lot of meat, right?

【Rain Morning】: I envy the boss's food!

【State Preceptor】: Oh, so you really can catch prey? Then I'll have one processed.

So he'll have one processed?

Cheng Shuili smiled. She was notoriously petty, and she really didn't care about the meager materials and game coins the State Preceptor had offered.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: @State Preceptor, don't come to me. I won't be taking any of your orders from now on.

【State Preceptor】: ???

【San Mu】: Hahaha, so satisfying!

【Panda】: As expected of Boss Crow! You are such a great Crow God. I've already sent the trade, can you fulfill my order first? You made me wait so long last time!

【Welding Big Sis】: What's there to wait for? Last time I sent my stuff to Boss Crow, I went to sleep. When I woke up the next day, I got my things, feeling great. Are you not trusting Boss Crow's character by waiting like that?

【Panda】: No, it's just anticipation.

【Welding Big Bro】: Well, actually, I feel like a cat is scratching at my heart too. @Angry Crow Takes Flight, please fulfill my order first, Boss!

【Bu You Yu】: I'm still missing a rope. Is anyone selling? The messages in the trade channel are too messy, so I'm posting here instead.

【New Snow Clearing】: Selling ropes.

...

After Cheng Shuili responded, the atmosphere immediately improved.

She was different from Glory. Glory gave everyone the impression of being a pushover who wouldn't say a word even if you cursed at him.

But Cheng Shuili was different. In the eyes of these people, Crow was a powder keg that would explode at the slightest touch. Furthermore, exploding didn't affect Crow herself at all; instead, those who provoked her would be blown to pieces.

Look at everyone who had offended Crow since the game started—did any of them have a good ending?

For a person like Crow, anyone with half a brain wouldn't think of offending her.

Business for the evening went smoothly as well.

Cheng Shuili sat at the workstation, tapping on the tabletop and thinking about what to do next. Now that she knew extreme heat would follow the extreme cold, she had to prepare early.

She only had enough materials on hand to craft one air conditioner. She wasn't in a rush for the other three; she would craft her own first.

The finished air conditioner looked much like the ones commonly used in the modern world—pure white, with a logo of an unknown brand on its clean surface.

【Energy-saving air conditioner】

【Description: Energy-saving, air conditioner, automatic installation. The system never talks nonsense.】

This.

Fine, it certainly covered everything.

Cheng Shuili stood up, scanned the shopping cart, and finally installed the air conditioner on the wall separating the cabin from the driver's seat.

Installing it here wouldn't interfere with the layout inside the vehicle, and when turned on, it would blow directly toward her feet. It wouldn't blow on her head, so she wouldn't have to worry about waking up with a headache the next day.

Absolutely perfect!

That matter was settled, but there was still one more thing: she hadn't told the few people in the group about the disaster yet.

In the four-person group chat.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: The next disaster is extreme heat. You need to install air conditioners in your vehicles. I have the blueprints here, and these are the materials to craft them. I don't have enough left on hand, so if you don't have enough, go to the trade channel to exchange for some. I'll craft them for you first.

【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: A grateful heart~ Thank you for being here~

Liang Shanbo sent a voice message, singing it directly.

Cheng Shuili clicked to listen. It was alright; she was tone-deaf herself and couldn't tell if he was off-key or not.

【New Snow Clearing】: The song might be off-key, but this brother won't run away. Boss, love you forever.

Cheng Shuili: "..."

For a moment, she really wondered if she was getting old. She truly felt that talking to Wan Yi was more comfortable.

【Wan Yi】: Sent it to you, Crow.

That's more like it!

All three of them were very efficient. After waiting nine minutes, Cheng Shuili delivered one air conditioner to each of them.

【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Honestly, it's quite magical to suddenly get an air conditioner in this weather. It's also pretty strange to suddenly have a home appliance installed in my makeshift carriage.

【Wan Yi】: Who was worrying about the next disaster two days ago? Look, Crow solved it without a sound.

【New Snow Clearing】: I was really worrying for nothing. I admit my mistake, please don't mock me.

Of course, Cheng Shuili wouldn't mock her. Worrying was normal; not everyone could be like Liang Shanbo, thinking only about what delicious food to eat for lunch every day, right?

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: @New Snow Clearing, do you understand what you should be collecting?

【New Snow Clearing】: Don't worry, Boss. I'm already experienced with the business. I'll send you the earnings in a couple of days.

Not bad.

Cheng Shuili felt very reassured.

【Wan Yi】: I've always found it strange. Shouldn't a business like New Snow's only be doable once or twice? The people in the regional channel aren't idiots. If New Snow keeps making profits, those people should notice her very quickly, right? Then they could follow suit and collect what New Snow is collecting, or simply stop selling items to her. No matter how I think about it, she shouldn't be able to keep profiting like this.

What Wan Yi said made a lot of sense.

Doing business this way, once or twice wouldn't matter, but if she did it many times and made a profit every single time, that would be a huge problem.

Cheng Shuili had also been worried about this before, but when New Snow was collecting ropes last time, she had mentioned privately that she was now collecting items anonymously.

In the trade channel, only the buyer could remain anonymous.

But buying things in the trade channel had one major downside: it was hard to find things.

Cheng Shuili had looked for items in the trade channel before, but she could never find anything and would always end up having to post messages in the regional channel to trade.

The only benefit of doing it this way was the anonymity; it wouldn't leak information to others, but it was truly a hassle.

【New Snow Clearing】: Don't worry, Big Sister Wan Yi! I always collect items anonymously in the trade channel. It's true that it's a bit slower, but since Boss gives me the information early and leaves me enough time, I'm still earning money steadily!

The few of them chatted in the group for a while longer.

It was already very late. Cheng Shuili glanced outside the vehicle; the night sky was pitch black, and the earth was white.

But the snow had stopped. This was the first time the snow had stopped since they entered the extreme cold. Was the system going to pull something again tomorrow?

For some reason, Cheng Shuili just had that feeling.

But thinking about it now was useless. She crawled into her bedding, her face pressing against the soft fabric.

She loved to sleep!
