Chapter 16: Information Dealer
Cheng Shuili smiled slightly; this time she only obtained 25% of the supplies, but it's almost on par with Li Erqiang's supplies, evidently Lin Mo had previously killed many people.
Great little Cheng, again eliminated a threat for the people.
Cheng Shuili, while sorting the supplies, sighed, this really is a path to get rich quickly.
Lin Mo's electric tricycle didn't disappear; besides that, there were also many materials, a small amount of food, and several pieces of clothing for men and women.
These are obviously the victims' belongings.
The clothes that pop out of the supply crate automatically match the player's height and weight, with only male and female styles, and seasonal variations.
After finishing, Cheng Shuili made a tally: iron blocks ×8, iron nails ×13, glass ×3, insulation material ×2, wires ×5, winter women's clothing that fits the size ×1, clothing with mismatched sizes ×4, compressed biscuits ×5, 500 ml mineral water ×10.
And one electric tricycle.
If earlier Cheng Shuili could only stare at this thing helplessly, now she pulls out the store employee badge she bought with a bugged card, and, following the instructions, issues a command to the electric tricycle.
【Electric tricycle ×1, 99% new, a rare item in Shou Ren Cheng Zhen! But because it consumes a battery, this thing is also rare in Shou Ren Cheng Zhen, so the price is heavily discounted. Can be sold for 32 Game Coin, sell it?】
Cheng Shuili: "?"
She thought she could get a high price, but the system threw a twist.
If you want to lower the price, just say so, not make a detour.
Cheng Shuili: "Sell."
Even a mosquito is still meat; she can't take this thing away. Moreover, she just tried, and the vehicle still can't be traded.
Thus, to obtain a vehicle, the only way is killing. And to replace a vehicle, the only way is to kill and then loot.
The system really… is maliciously scheming.
【8】 The 32 Game Coin arrived, and that field on the system page was finally not zero. Cheng Shuili smiled, kept moving forward at a gallop, "Rankings, rankings—must chase the rankings, must have treasure chests!"
32 Game Coins credited, that field on the system page was finally not zero. Cheng Shuili smiled, kept moving forward without stopping, Leaderboard, Leaderboard, must go for the leaderboard, must have a treasure chest!
Otherwise all her hard traveling would be for nothing.
After walking these days, the cart's battery finally dropped below 100, and Cheng Shuili had already traded with someone for a battery, just waiting to replace it when it fully drains.
The system suddenly sent a notification.
Cheng Shuili opened the chat page; the sender was 【Radiant Blue Star】.
【Radiant Blue Star】: We've discussed it; we can exchange supplies with you, but we don't have much either, hope you'll make a bit more concession.
Cheng Shuili curled her mouth; one person may not have much, but with so many gathered, saying it's not much would be modest.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I need twenty‑five Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I have two pieces of information; the first is how to enter Shou Ren Cheng Zhen, the second is a way to obtain Game Coin.
Cheng Shuili shrugged and continued.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: You can choose one.
【Radiant Blue Star】: What about the other one?
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: The other requires 50 pieces.
Cheng Shuili squinted, carefully stopped the vehicle and opened a wooden chest; inside were only two iron blocks.
She lifted the iron blocks, placed them, and returned to the cart.
After all, those two pieces of information are essentially the same, because they both point to the same thing: the store employee badge.
To get the store employee badge, you must purchase it for 3999 Game Coin in the shop; to get Game Coin, you need the store employee badge to sell supplies.
It's a perfect closed loop.
The second piece of information is basically just empty talk.
One piece of information sells 75 fragments, quite a value.
Cheng Shuili guesses there must be another way to get Game Coin, but no one has discovered it yet.
The person on the other side of the screen stood up, stared blankly at the message, and didn't hastily reply to Cheng Shuili. In the organization, Zhao Hong is only a spokesperson; the real decision‑maker is someone else.
He immediately reported the message upward, anxiously awaiting a reply.
This time, he was especially anxious.
Either of these two pieces of information would be hugely beneficial to them.
He has seen all sorts of items in the Jiao Yi Zhan; if they could get Game Coin, the game's difficulty could drop dramatically!
But Shou Ren Cheng Zhen is an even greater necessity!
Cheng Shuili said they could go in to register; who hasn't been sick? Taking medicine alone is nerve‑wracking; if there's a hospital, life safety would be assured.
Zhao Hong suddenly felt relieved to be only a spokesperson; if he were making decisions, he'd probably already be overwhelmed.
Moreover, Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji is the type who stays calm and never speaks unless there's benefit.
If the higher‑ups plan to use that vague attitude to stall, they might fail here.
After about ten minutes, the higher‑ups finally reached a decision.
Zhao Hong stared at the reply on the screen, brows knit. The organization finally decided to use 25 fragments to obtain the first piece of information—how to enter Shou Ren Cheng Zhen.
As for the second Game Coin route, they decided to shelve it for now; after all, 50 fragments is also a sizable amount, and everyone has already done their best to gather 25.
Zhao Hong took a deep breath and replied to Cheng Shuili.
【Radiant Blue Star】: We choose the first piece of information; the 25 fragments are ready, how do we trade?
Cheng Shuili saw the message and her mouth twitched upward slightly.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Just send a gift; I'll tell you the information in full.
Zhao Hong still has this bit of trust.
Seeing people trash talk in the regional channel, he's probably also a straightforward guy.
"You have received a gift from player 【Radiant Blue Star】: Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments ×25."
Cheng Shuili smiled, her fingers dancing on the virtual keyboard.
"To enter Shou Ren Cheng Zhen, you need a store employee badge, gifted freely; this item costs 3999 Game Coin, purchasable at Wan Shou Trading House."
The transaction was completed, Zhao Hong looked at the message, and their expression instantly became complicated.
"This…" they muttered, "3999 Game Coin? We don't even know how to obtain Game Coin!"
The organization immediately erupted into a frenzy.
"She's playing us?!" someone angrily sent this message to Zhao Hong.
"No, this message is definitely real," Zhao Hong shook their head, "but she deliberately concealed the most crucial part—how to obtain Game Coin."
"Then the second message…"
"It's the method of obtaining Game Coin," Zhao Hong said with a wry smile, "She had long anticipated we would choose the first message, so she deliberately split it up for sale."
Everyone fell silent.
Cheng Shuili's move directly put them in a dilemma.
Either they spend another 50 fragments to acquire the second message, or they figure it out on their own, but time waits for no one.
