Chapter 178: Dividing the Spoils

"So for this upgrade, besides you, there's no new stuff added?"

【No! But from 001's perspective, I'm the biggest and best new feature!】

So smug.

Cheng Shuili felt a bit disdainful.

But actually, she had already accepted the thing exchanged for those 60 energy stones.

After all, it's indeed useful, isn't it?

Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow lightly and asked a question she'd always been curious about: "Why do you call me Lao Da?"

Don't most systems address you as "Host"? Even if not a host, they'd call you "Master", right?

Come to think of it… why does Su Rui also call her Lao Da?

Cheng Shuili glanced quietly at Su Rui, who was making the bed beside her; Su Rui was going to sleep on the sofa tonight, and was so busy that she didn't even notice Cheng Shuili spying on her.

Cheng Shuili silently withdrew her gaze and heard 001's reply.

【We determine the address based on data! Lao Da, your subordinates all call you Lao Da! And according to our data analysis, your acceptance of this title is extremely high! So I'll call you Lao Da.】

Subordinates…

You mean Wan Yi, Xinxue and the others?

No need to continue; this system is still not very smart.

Cheng Shuili shook her head, watched Su Rui finish making her own bed, then took the water cup she'd gotten from the supply crate yesterday and filled it at the Advanced Condensed Water Device.

Cheng Shuili increasingly felt her choice was correct.

With this water bucket, those energy stones were spent wisely.

About half an hour later, 001 finally reported the result of the transaction to Cheng Shuili.

【Transaction completed! This time we traded out 6,243 Designated Player Duel Cards, earned a total of 1,522 Game Coin, 245 Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments, Vehicle Cleaning Card x3, Vehicle Repair Card x1, Designated Material Replication Card x5, Jiao Yi Zhan Transfer Card x1, Auto‑Pilot Card x6…】

Cheng Shuili listened attentively; she had already traded Game Coin once before, so this time it was only a little over a thousand.

It's not a small amount.

The number of Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments was quite large.

That was unexpected for Cheng Shuili.

Someone must have already upgraded their vehicle to level three; level four is still far off, so keeping these is better used to exchange for life‑saving items.

The cards obtained from the trade were still few; aside from these items, the rest were all materials.

Cheng Shuili lightly furrowed her brows; she had always thought these people had good stuff in hand, and letting them pick supplies to trade originally was meant to leave room for stumbling upon valuable items.

Who would have known they didn't even have a single blueprint?

After this trade, Cheng Shuili still had 6,351 Designated Player Duel Cards left, but Xinxue's investment cost had already been recouped.

Even just those basic materials already far exceeded Xinxue's investment cost.

This time, it was undeniably a huge profit!

Cheng Shuili opened her personal panel and looked.

In total she earned over 60,000 Game Coin, and the other supplies were countless.

Cheng Shuili propped her chin, stared at the panel and thought, how to split the loot now?

Ah, no, how to give Xinxue her share of the profit?

Cheng Shuili first sent her 30,000 Game Coin.

【Xin Xue Chuji】:!!!

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Lao Da, are you trying to buy my life?

Cheng Shuili: "?"

No, Xinxue has already made a reputation in this line of work, why is she still so surprised by this amount of Game Coin?

Cheng Shuili was concise.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: There's still quite a bit earned this time, don't rush, I'll sort it out and give you more.

When Xinxue saw the three followed by four zeros, she was truly startled.

She rubbed her eyes, then rubbed them again, making sure she hadn't misread before messaging Cheng Shuili.

Earned?

Is this what you earned this time?

Xinxue hasn't never made money; she just rarely earns Game Coin. Moreover, she remembers she and Lao Da split fifty-fifty, and now she has received thirty thousand...

So, this transaction actually netted a full sixty thousand Game Coin!

A full sixty thousand!

Xinxue feels her body suddenly become light, her feet on the carriage seem to vanish, and what did Lao Da say as well?

There's still a lot, huh?

Xinxue tried to hold it in, but she really couldn't.

In the five-person group chat.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: What? How did you know I got rich?

【Emily】:?

【Wan Yi】:?

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Who asked? Who asked!

You can tell they're really happy.

Cheng Shuili silently closed the chat window, thinking it might have been some important news.

After getting 001, Cheng Shuili no longer has to worry about too many private messages causing her to miss important ones.

Useless messages from strangers are automatically blocked by 001, so Cheng Shuili confidently turned the chat notification sound back on.

But is she really that happy?

Cheng Shuili recalled her first time Game Coin broke ten thousand, what was her reaction then?

Her Game Coin changes are always large, and now she can't remember the feeling of that first ten‑thousand breakthrough.

However, Cheng Shuili guesses that, given her steady temperament, she must have been very calm then.

Exactly.

Cheng Shuili is very satisfied; when she stands up, she can't help humming a little tune.

Su Rui, watching Cheng Shuili's self‑satisfaction, says: "…"

Actually, she's already used to it.
