Chapter 170: The Wonderful Misunderstanding

"Enough already! I didn't even stop my car, and when that beastman passed by, he actually grabbed my car's door handle, yanked the door open and got in! How could this happen? Now my food has been stolen! Can anyone give me some food?"

"What? Not even stopping the car is a problem?"

"Where did these beastmen come from?! Did anyone encounter them without being robbed? If food is always taken, then we might as well just wait to die, right?"

"I also ran into beastmen, not as fierce as you say. There were three of them, and they slunk away as soon as they saw us."

"Same here. We ran into four beastmen; they didn't even glance at any of us, and because our vehicles were packed tightly, they just circled around us, haha. So polite? Not as bad as you claim."

"Seriously? These beastmen are double‑standard? When they're in a good mood they attack you, when they're not they just walk around? On what grounds?!"

"Conspiracy! There's definitely a conspiracy! The strength of the beastmen we met is completely different! That's unfair! System, explain yourself!"

Even if the System dislikes being misunderstood, it doesn't explain every accusation, especially ones that are obviously nonsensical.

Cheng Shuili was speechless when she suddenly saw a useful question.

"Wait, us? Why use that term? Are you several people together?"

Through a few messages, Cheng Shuili saw the two people's replies.

"For us six, we're in the same dorm, gathering to have breakfast together."

"We're a big family, seven or eight people; meeting at this time is definitely for breakfast, right? No need to say more."

Given the current situation, Cheng Shuili's guess is completely correct.

Smart users in the regional channel have already identified the issue.

"Did you notice? The ones not attacked always have more people than the beastmen!"

"That's right! They're all in groups; the guy whose car was hijacked by the beastmen must have been alone, right? And the one who said they didn't dare attack! You were each alone in your vehicle, the beastmen outnumbered you, so they definitely dared to rob you!"

"Moreover, before the extreme heat the System deliberately gave out a day's worth of water; although we don't know what this disaster is, the System deliberately released a day's worth of Designated Player Duel Cards! What have the market prices of duel cards dropped to? I was curious where so many came from, and today it all lines up!"

"So that's it! Thanks to this pink queen for the summary, so timely! So clever!"

"What if the numbers are equal?"

"Does it have to be like this? Is there anyone who can win by force? The duel cards are indeed cheap now, but they'll get more expensive later, and a Designated Player Duel Card only lasts twenty minutes! If I keep running into beastmen, the cumulative cost will be huge!"

"Is there still time to feel sorry for this now? Players who previously sold their Designated Player Duel Cards, go to the trade channel and buy duel cards. Whether the price will rise later, don't say yet, and whether anyone is selling is also a problem!"

"Damn! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Thanks for the heads‑up! I'm going right now!"

"Don't thank me, they're sold out. All of them are gone; either the trade was cancelled or someone bought them."

Cheng Shuili saw this, opened the trade channel and took a look; indeed there were none left, all entries showed as completed.

She raised an eyebrow, then suddenly remembered that on Sunday she had asked Xinxue to stock up some of this, but she hadn't realized its use at the time and didn't dare ask Xinxue to stock more.

She opened Xinxue's chat window, intending to ask how many cards she had.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "Lao Da, didn't you ask me to stock this before? I bought everything I could. I have a card now; to be honest I was a bit nervous before, but Lao Da you know I always trust you the most!"

Cheng Shuili was shocked, her fingers were about to leave after‑images on the keyboard.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "Didn't I say to buy a few of these just in case? Why did you buy so many?"

Xinxue was even more shocked; fearing she had misremembered, she didn't dare reply directly to Cheng Shuili, and with both hands she scrolled the virtual panel up through the chat history, and after confirming she hadn't erred, she mustered her resolve.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "You said 'stock some Designated Player Duel Cards'! (image)"

She posted the screenshot directly.

Cheng Shuili widened her eyes; could that sentence have any other meaning?

"Stock some!"

"The key is that 'some'!"

Cheng Shuili sent out that sentence.

Xinxue was startled, then didn't rush to reply; she scrolled up the two‑person chat history, captured several screenshots, and sent them all to Cheng Shuili in one go.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "Lao Da, when have you not said that? (image)(image)(image…)"

Cheng Shuili was unconvinced, opened the images and examined them closely, then she gave in.

Cheng Shuili: "???"

"Is it like that? It actually…"

"Fine, this time it's a blessing in disguise."

Cheng Shuili shook her head, immediately and carefully clarified the description issues with Xinxue. After reaching agreement, they finally realized that this time… they might get rich.

Cheng Shuili felt light all over, she didn't rush to ask Xinxue to act, but first opened the regional channel and saw it was already filled with curses.

"@Nainai Xiaodangao, still my Designated Player Trade Card! Damn, how is your hand so fast, I was just about to cancel the trade and you snapped it up?!"

"Are you crazy? Who are you blaming for being slow? Seeing someone's ID is a girl and calling them in the regional channel? @Nainai Xiaodangao, little sister, don't be scared, big brother's got your back!"

"Exactly! Because she's a little girl, it's easy to bully, right?"

"Fuck you! Now I'm the one who can't survive, why am I in a hurry? You motherfuckers stand there talking without a care; if you have no cards in hand, you'll be the most anxious!"

【Nainai Xiaodangao】: "Who's to blame for being slow? The trade is already successful. If you were nicer, I, your grandaunt, could be generous and give you two more. With that attitude, go tell King Yama after you die."

"Sister is so fierce, I love her!"

"Even though their attitude isn't great, you can't just watch them die with your eyes open, right?"

"Exactly! All those cards are mine, damn it! I don't want to trade! Give them back to me! I'm pushing the supplies to you! Don't force me, you motherf***er, you're pushing me too hard, it's bad for anyone."

"@Nainai Xiaodangao, why don't you give him back two cards? Don't make it look too ugly."

【Nainai Xiaodangao】: "I'll return them to you, I'll deliver them personally, you esteemed adult…"
