Chapter 136: Expired Bread

Cheng Shuili: "……"

Others are always scared of doing a bit more work; she takes a leisurely life yet worries and fears, truly a cute college student.

Liang Shanbo's movements are swift.

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: After asking the boss, only the first person who said they have the blueprint actually has it; the other two are just bragging.

So that's how it is.

Cheng Shuili said that she had been trying to collect blueprints but couldn't get any, and now so many appeared at once; turns out they were just bragging.

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: The person who has the blueprint also asked me if I have a workbench, and where I got the workbench. Here is his blueprint information, boss, take a look. How should I reply?

【Fuel Evolution Device Blueprint】

【Effect: Only works on vehicle liquid fuel! After using this device, the fuel becomes more burn‑resistant, allowing the same fuel to travel farther!】

【Materials: Plastic x8, Rubber x4, Iron Block x3, Energy Stone x1】

It only works on liquid fuel.

In other words, only gasoline‑powered vehicles can use this device.

Liang Shanbo's and Xinxue's vehicles are electric, and Cheng Shuili's is electric as well.

Wan Yi is a food truck, Ailin drives an off‑road vehicle; although their vehicles run on gasoline, the fuel consumption isn't high, so this thing isn't necessary.

Moreover, the crafting materials look fine at first, but the last material is an Energy Stone.

Cheng Shuili only has five of these left, and few others can even produce one.

This item can't be outsourced for now, and our own people don't need it, making it rather useless.

Cheng Shuili thought for a moment and still felt she could try to fight for it.

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Tell him you have a workbench, trade the source of the workbench for this blueprint, and ask if he's willing to swap.

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: Got it, boss!

Cheng Shuili waited a while, didn't receive any new word from Liang Shanbo, probably because she's bargaining with the other side.

Cheng Shuili wasn't in a hurry, opened the regional channel and watched for a while.

"Xin Xue Chuji said he doesn't have much water left, not sure if it's true, and now I'm so hesitant; I have no drinkable water on hand, and if Wuya Dalao really doesn't process it, I'll literally die of thirst!"

"Upstairs, you won't die of thirst, relax. The amount of water we have is definitely more than the amount we need! So as long as we have enough time, the price of water will surely keep dropping!"

"What is that gibberish? I can't understand!"

"I admit your research on water is thorough, but you forgot that a person will die of thirst after a few days without water! Who has time to wait for the price to drop?"

"Actually there's no need to worry; death definitely won't happen. Someone sells water today, someone will sell it tomorrow, there will always be sellers. The only difference is the price. Today Xinxue's price jumped fivefold, tomorrow Li Xue will jump sixfold, the day after that Zhang Xue will jump sevenfold!"

"That's right, as long as Wuya Dalao doesn't outsource the Primary Condensed Water Device, the water price will keep rising during these scorching days."

"Boss! I got it! I just thought Xinxue's water was already pricey enough, together it's considered cheap, right? I'm going to buy it now!"

"I'll buy too, I'll buy too, why can't I buy!"

Cheng Shuili smiled as she watched; the water army's effect was more impressive than she expected.

Before noon, Xinxue sent Cheng Shuili a message saying the stockpiled water was sold out, and they need to inventory the harvested supplies; this time they made a good profit, so it will probably take a few days before the supplies can be sent to the boss.

Cheng Shuili didn't mind; whether it's Xinxue's or hers, she'll let it go.

She obtained so many items that she can't use them all, and Cheng Shuili has already started thinking about where to dispose of these supplies.

Keeping them forever isn't a solution.

While Cheng Shuili was having lunch, she finally received Liang Shanbo's reply.

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: Got it, boss! I convinced him! We tell him the source of the workbench, and he'll give us the blueprint; the deal is written, just waiting for us to provide the info.

Convinced?

Cheng Shuili's original intention was just to ask; if he refused, that's that.

From the time Liang Shanbo took, you can tell the other party was initially unwilling; I really don't know how Liang Shanbo managed to soften and persuade them into agreeing.

This... how is this not considered a talent?

Pu Da Xi Ben!

This mascot! Finally has a use that's uniquely its own!

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: The workbench is the reward for the top spot on the leaderboard.

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: What? This person also said they want a workbench, seems they'll be disappointed.

Can they not be disappointed?

Initially, the merged region combined six districts into Dragon Country's third large region, the 666 District; that means, among the ten‑thousand‑person district, only six people owned a workbench.

But now it's not six people; Ren Danru Ju and Kebab Zhou Ge have sadly passed away.

Now only four people in the 666 District have a workbench.

Cheng Shuili finally obtained the 【Fuel Evolution Device Blueprint】.

The item is in hand, but she feels conflicted about whether to craft one.

Energy Stones have no stable source; she currently has only five, the Sunlight House needs eight, but this blueprint only requires one.

In terms of priority, the Sunlight House definitely comes first; who wouldn't want vegetable and fruit freedom?

Recently Qi Wan Yi's side's endless vegetables finally ran out, so every meal these few people have now is meat.

The ingredients repeat, but thanks to Qi Wan Yi's superb cooking, each meal is presented differently, and no one raised any objections.

The Energy Stones still need to be kept. If later the Sunlight House lacks a single Energy Stone, Cheng Shuili would have nowhere to cry.

This blueprint will be set aside for now, to use later if needed.

The time reached exactly twelve o'clock.

A popup suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Shuili.

【Your bakery shop has been at a loss for one day; if you lose for three consecutive days, your partner will be so disappointed they'll cancel cooperation! All losses will then be borne by the player personally! Do not cross the red line!】

Cheng Shuili: "!!!"

No wonder she kept feeling last night that she forgot to order something!

Turns out she forgot this!

These past two days she's been thinking about contract manufacturing to make money, completely forgetting the cooperation with Bao Chi.

Cheng Shuili hurriedly opened the cooperation page.
