Chapter 14: Chapter Fourteen: Stirring the Muddy Water

【Radiant Light Shines on Blue Star】: The first type is a gas station; so far only abandoned ones have been seen, and treasure chests spawn there randomly. The second type is a trading post, where beast‑person NPCs sell goods, the required currency is Game Coin, and how to obtain Game Coin is currently unclear.

Cheng Shuili has seen both of these structures, even entered them; she squints her eyes and watches the next message from the Radiant Light.

【Radiant Light Shines on Blue Star】: The third type is a junkyard, where trash piles up but useful materials or food can be rummaged out, and the system will prompt. The final type is Shou Ren Cheng Zhen, where many items can be seen inside, but how to enter it is currently unclear.

Cheng Shuili looks at the message and ponders.

She has never encountered La Ji Zhan or Shou Ren Cheng Zhen, but she already possesses the qualification to enter Shou Ren Cheng Zhen.

As for this Radiant Light, Cheng Shuili thinks for a moment that there must be a huge team behind it, aggregating everyone's messages, then analyzing and distilling the most concise information, which is finally broadcast by the Radiant Light.

This whole process…

Cheng Shuili has confirmed that this person is definitely an official.

More and more people see the message, and newly posted messages push this one upward.

Cheng Shuili, with sharp eyes, notices a line.

【Chi Dian Xi Kang Ba】: Like, like, this is the real big shot, unlike some big shots who hide things! It's simply magnificent! With a big shot's info, we can avoid many detours!

【Bai Yao】: Exactly! Calling out some announced big shots who have contributed nothing, just wasting air alive! When they have something good they hide it, fearing we'll see it.

That's kind of naming them specifically.

The only person who has been announced is Cheng Shuili.

After this message was posted, the remaining words changed, and the regional channel instantly erupted in condemnation. It was as if Cheng Shuili, having shared nothing, had dug up these people's ancestral graves.

Cheng Shuili is not a good‑tempered person; she once had a good temper, but that was in the past. The moment she saw Bai Yao's remark, a surge of anger rose within her.

Looking again, the channel already had acquaintances replying for her.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Not a buddy, then let me be blunt—what does it matter to you whether they speak or not? Whether you call it sentiment or duty, you're being morally blackmailed here?

It sounds very reasonable, but it's just too preachy.

Not satisfying enough.

Cheng Shuili recalls a teacher's maxim from a past life: uttering profanity cleanses the heart, but swallowing it stains the heart.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Who's being sarcastic? Can't find a supply crate, got red‑eyes, huh? If you have time to fart here, better move forward and don't starve. In this cursed place, even if you stink, no one will collect your corpse.

【Bai Yao】: I'm talking about you, what can you do to me?

Cheng Shuili looks up; aside from tightening the grip and occasionally checking for treasure chests, there's nothing else.

That dog thing basically collided with the barrel of her gun.

Cheng Shuili lets out a cold laugh.

She wiggles her fingers, and the system's virtual keyboard materializes in midair with her thought; even one‑handed use is no problem. Question anything you like, but don't question a programmer's typing speed!

Since someone is rushing to scold, Cheng Shuili doesn't mind giving them a mental lesson.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Even through the network line I can smell the sour stink from your mouth; your face is dark, you can't find a supply crate, so you act like a mad dog biting randomly? Did your mother toss your body away when she gave birth, letting the placenta raise you?

The public channel instantly erupts with a dozen or so onlookers' messages.

【Cou Re Nao】: Damn! It's heating up!

【Mai Dong Xi】: Setting up a stall to sell grilled sausages, like, get them free!

【Cao Mei Xiao Ying Tang】: Wuya Dalao, screw him!

Bai Yao is clearly enraged, and replies even faster.

【Bai Yao】: Are you fucking sick or what, saying two sentences to you—what's the big deal?

【Bai Yao】: What's the problem! Besides taking it from me, what else can you fucking do?

Cheng Shuili doesn't even give him a chance to form a sentence; the second paragraph has already been sent.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: What, what, what, you little something, can you say anything else? I see your ID says you're into medicine, yet you can't even cure a simple brain‑damage? Want me, big shot, to give you two bandages to wrap around your leaky‑IQ skull?

A string of "hahaha" floods the channel.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: You're so articulate, fast hands—practically my mouthpiece!

【Chi Dian Xi Kang Ba】 suddenly interjects: Calm down, big shot; he's just jealous that you were announced by the system, jealous of your abundant supplies.

Cheng Shuili catches this muddy message out of the corner of her eye, her hands keep moving.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: That guy upstairs who eats the fine bran, enjoying the wall‑grass, huh? You think I don't get it? This whole thing was sparked by you; you're like a rag, dragging filth wherever you go.

【Bai Yao】: Fuck! Have the guts to give your real name! I'll duel you sooner or later!

The virtual keyboard emits a faint blue glow, and Cheng Shuili's mouth curves into a cruel smile.

People like this just threaten to act online when they can't win, but they never dare to follow through; it's all bluster.

So Cheng Shuili deliberately slows her typing, spacing each message three seconds apart before sending:

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: A duel? With that typing speed of yours?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: It's been half a minute since I insulted you, and only now do these words come out?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Early onset senile dementia—remember to go to Shou Ren Cheng Zhen for emergency care!

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: But with your IQ, you probably can't even find a door.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: You're unfit to live—better die early; living you just waste air.

The final line returns Bai Yao's words, and Cheng Shuili silently thinks "comfortable" in her heart; the person seemed to have faced reality, and after waiting a few minutes she still received no reply.

For a moment, no one speaks in the regional channel.

Cheng Shuili snorts a laugh and throws out the last sentence.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Foolish X.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: A word of advice to everyone—think before you speak; if you have that much time, better go forward and look for supplies.

The entire regional channel falls silent; the few IDs that were previously being sarcastic become mute as if chilled.

Cheng Shuili, satisfied with the deterrent she's created, is about to close the interface when a private message pops up.

【Radiant Light Shines on Blue Star】: Can Shou Ren Cheng Zhen be registered? Have you been inside?

Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes; this person just can't sit still.

But that was just her guess; if the Road Survival Game actually had a hospital, it could only be in Shou Ren Cheng Zhen.

Cheng Shuili indeed had a lot of information that the officials weren't aware of. She wasn't interested in making contributions for nothing, but selling information...

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: What's in it for me?

【Glory Shines Blue Star】: Friend, don't be so narrow-minded; every piece of information you contribute now could possibly save countless lives.
