Chapter 160: – Ge Wudi

"Sigh, I was actually embarrassed to say this. My situation is similar to that survivor's—also an oil car; you guys who didn't pick an oil car at the start really have ancestral graves smoking. After a day you'll understand why we have to spend all our supplies to exchange for gasoline."

"What does 'ancestral graves smoking' even mean? Is it that hard to admit someone else has a brain? Frankly, you could have died earlier; handing over your supplies right before death would at least count as a contribution."

The person who said that was the same one who earlier told the first guy to die quickly, and now he's really angered the crowd.

"Are you this shitty in real life, you mother‑fucker? You wait for dawn, and after dawn you have the nerve to say this to someone face‑to‑face?!"

"Everyone screenshot this ID and remember it; we'll permanently blacklist them from the trading market."

"Calm down, everyone. I'm the director of the psychology department at a top‑tier hospital. Based on this person's speech pattern, it's a classic sign of mental illness; I recommend blocking them outright."

Cheng Shuili thought it was over, but suddenly a voice message appeared.

It was an old lady's voice, with the clink of canned jars in the background: "Hey, kid, I'm seventy‑six and still can't bear to die, yet you're in such a hurry to send others off the road?"

At that, she raised her voice: "You want supplies, right? This old lady will give you all four empty bottles I've saved! Here's a lucky number for you!"

A dozen or so people below cheered: "Justice old lady!"

The provocateur seemed unfazed by the crowd's attacks—perhaps even enjoying them—and directly @‑mentioned the two who said they were oil cars.

"@Elastic Band, @Bu Pa, you two, lead the way and apologize to me. How many Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments do you need to upgrade your cars to level 2? I'll provide them. Deal?"

That line came out so abruptly that the whole regional channel fell silent for a moment.

Cheng Shuili was also a bit baffled; this person just shouted for their supplies, and now is willing to give supplies?

The contrast is huge.

Not only Cheng Shuili didn't believe it, many onlookers didn't either.

"??? Brother, are you schizophrenic? You just told someone to die, now you want to be a philanthropist?"

"Come see the new scam script! First insult you as useless, then play savior—classic PUA."

"Even the old lady's empty cans have more sincerity than you; at least they could give you a concussion."

But the party directly involved was bewildered, and the second speaker Bu Pa clearly got stirred.

【Bu Pa】: "Really?"

"He's lying to you, brother!"

"Do you trust him or trust that I'm Qin Shi Huang? Upvote me 50, and I'll make you the Nation's Grand General!"

"Ah, really speechless now, how can you believe any of this!"

"Stop standing there complaining about a sore back, okay? It's not you who's about to die, so you can stay aloof. To him, even if it's fake, what does it matter? It's just an apology, but if it's genuine, he can survive! The input is tiny while the return is huge; if it were me I'd agree."

"No! Isn't life just a single breath? What's the point of living so meekly?"

"Bro, honestly, you're the most death‑afraid of anyone."

The provocateur seemed to relish this debate, leisurely editing another line.

【Ge Wudi】: "As long as you apologize, I'll give."

Now Elastic Band couldn't hold back either.

【Elastic Band】: "You're serious? I'm short of 8 pieces right now."

【Bu Pa】: "I'm short of 7 pieces."

The provocateur's reply came quickly, with a hint of mockery:

【Ge Wudi】: "Then you two publicly say 'I'm useless, please Ge Wudi save me', and I'll immediately list the trade."

The regional channel instantly blew up.

"Is this goddamn saving people or humiliating them?"

"Screenshot taken, screenshot taken, annual scumbag behavior award!"

The old lady's voice popped up again, with a clang of a metal basin in the background: "You little beast! This old lady never saw anyone as depraved as you when I was sent down to the countryside!"

But what happened next caught everyone off guard.

【Bu Pa】: "I'm useless, please Ge Wudi save me."

The brief line landed like a red‑hot branding iron in the chat.

The channel fell eerily silent.

Three seconds later, a trade message popped up:

【Ge Wudi】initiated a trade with 【Bu Pa】: 7 Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments (cost 1 Game Coin)

Cheng Shuili sat up straight abruptly.

Su Rui, having drifted over at some point, saw the message, widened her eyes and asked, "Did you really give?"

"Given." Cheng Shuili stared at the successful trade system prompt, lightly furrowing her brows.

This is so weird.

The regional channel went completely berserk.

"WTF, really gave???"

"No… what is this? Performance art?"

Elastic Band's message jumped right after:

【Elastic Band】: "Ge Wudi, I just said something stupid earlier. I'm useless, please save me."

The same trade process replayed.

When Elastic Band announced in the channel that they'd upgraded their vehicle to level 2, the whole channel was drenched in absurdity.

【Ge Wudi】: "Anyone else want to insult me? Hurry up, before sunrise I'm in a good mood."

"Ah… is he a good person?"

"Even if he is a good person, his mouth is too vicious."

"Just a crowd‑pleasing clown, you bunch of fence‑post grass."

"He at least saved two lives, what did you do? Type? Don't make me laugh."

"A gentleman judges deeds, not intentions; his mouth is a bit ugly, but the person is still not bad."

Flattering the crowd?

Cheng Shuili Qing Qing raised her eyebrows slightly. Giving items for attention? Are there people that stupid?

She always feels that Ge Wudi must have some other purpose, but unfortunately after thinking it over she couldn't grasp any clue.

Today is the day of disaster rotation; players who don't know what the next disaster will be plan to wait until 12 o'clock, and after they know the disaster and prepare, they will sleep.

But Cheng Shuili and a few players who know the inside story are quite carefree; today, aside from standing outside the vehicle to feel the night breeze, everything else is no different from usual.

She even felt a bit dazed upon waking the next day because she slept so well.

Su Rui, however, has already gotten used to it.

This "master" has been unreliable for more than a day or two; now in the morning Cheng Shuili no longer needs to proactively fetch mineral water for her, Su Rui just gets it herself.

Su Rui sometimes takes one bottle, sometimes two; anyway, Cheng Shuili has plenty of supplies, so losing that little doesn't matter.

The servant's body is strange; clearly she has no sense of taste, yet when drinking water she can still sense a hint of sweetness.

Because of that, her water intake has risen sharply these past few days.

Perhaps she should try the water produced by the Primary Condensed Water Device, after all that water can't be stored, whereas mineral water can be kept.

She also wants to save Cheng Shuili a bit of supplies.

Because to her, Cheng Shuili is a very good person.

The two of them could be said to enjoy peaceful times, but the system responsible for the "servant" side is suffering.
