Chapter 181: Your Money Has Arrived

The second photo is a close‑up, and in the deepest part you can even see the pale white bones.

Cheng Shuili's stomach twitched; she didn't continue to the third picture, but went straight to read other people's comments.

"Whoa! Is this damn real?!"

"Who just said it's a made‑up story? Come out and take a few steps?"

"This wound… was it really bitten? Not made with some tool?"

"If this is a lie, turning someone into this for a card is just too outrageous, right?"

"So… it really eats people?"

"Damn. I thought they were some good stuff. Sure enough! Those not of my kind have a different heart!"

"Stop pulling fancy words, what do we do now?!"

"Yesterday wasn't there a brother who thought he was clever, reluctant to buy a Designated Player Duel Card, and left his food with a friend? What happened now?"

"His friend ran off with all the food. Don't tell me that just a little bit of food could make that happen; the ones who say that are brain‑dead. Food is so pricey now; don't you have any sense?"

Cheng Shuili couldn't help but snicker at this point; since the server opened, this has happened countless times, how are there still people this stupid?

Giving away everything is fine, but you definitely have to hold onto some of the other side's stuff yourself.

Cheng Shuili shook her head and kept scrolling.

"???"

"No, this isn't the result I wanted!"

"I'm truly amazed, why is it like this! How does the system not leave a single way out!"

"I actually think it's quite normal; think of the previous calamities—extreme cold can freeze people solid, extreme heat can scorch them, and now this unknown disaster is somehow so gentle! Just stealing food? You think it's as cozy as kids playing house!"

"Where's the coziness in stealing food?! Kids playing house don't steal food!"

"That doesn't matter! What matters is this method can't be used! Everyone, everyone still wanting to live, go buy a Designated Player Duel Card from Wu Ya! Soon he'll be sold out, and those of you without a card will be truly doomed!"

"@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, still selling cards? Selling them? You must have some on hand! Otherwise I'm doomed!"

Business is coming!

Cheng Shuili perked up and immediately posted a message in the regional channel.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Still have stock, but not much. Same as yesterday, self‑priced, direct trade.

As soon as Cheng Shuili's message went out, trade requests slammed in like a blizzard. She smiled slightly and told 001 to handle the trades for her.

At least for this matter, 001 is absolutely handy.

Cheng Shuili kept staring at the regional channel.

"How many cards does the big boss actually have? Yesterday it seemed like a lot sold, and today there are still some!"

"Didn't Wu Ya say the cards in hand were running low?"

"You actually believe that? It's obviously a marketing ploy, right?"

Cheng Shuili: "…"

Actually, both are true; compared with the number of cards she had at the start, now there's only a tiny fraction left—really not many.

"The boss truly lives up to the title; the trade completed right after posting. That speed, ordinary people surely can't match, right?"

"Huh? Wuya Dalao fast? Are you crazy? Every time I go to Wuya Dalao for processing or trading, I have to wait ages! Sometimes even a day or two!"

Cheng Shuili: "…"

That's all in the past, no need to bring it up again.

"Actually, it's not that we must buy cards. There's another way. Since having no food is bad and having food is also bad, we can make it seem like we have it and not have it."

"What are you talking about?"

"The meaning is obvious, right? We can prepare a little food so that when the beasts arrive they can find something to eat, but the amount they find is limited! That way the loss drops instantly, and there's no risk of the beasts eating everything! No need to buy a Designated Player Duel Card from Wu Ya, so it's a good solution, right?"

Cheng Shuili was stunned; this person actually dared to affect her business!

"Think Wu Ya can't handle a gun anymore, right?"

"No. Just say it—why say we don't have to go to Wu Ya to buy stuff? Aren't you really not afraid Wu Ya will hold a grudge?"

"Wu Ya does hold grudges, truly."

"You think you're the only clever one. At this point I'm not hiding anything; I started using this method yesterday, and it's useless! No use at all!"

"Useless? You're living just fine, so why say it's useless?"

"You haven't experienced it, so you don't understand. Beast attacks on humans have many omens, and they become clearer each time the beasts enter a vehicle. If you've lived through it, you'll get what I'm saying. Every time the beasts come they snatch my food, not much—just a bag of compressed biscuits. It's useless! I can already feel that the next time the beasts come, they'll definitely eat me. I've already bought a card from Wu Ya, and at a time like this being stingy with that little thing is truly foolish."

"I'm also someone who's gone through this. Based on my guess, the amount beasts steal has a standard! If it doesn't reach that standard, even if they grab food it doesn't count, and after a few times they'll still eat people. Compared to an unknown but definitely massive amount of food, I'd definitely choose the card!"

"Wu Ya, you won't have to worry about making money anymore, because your money has arrived!"

"The guy upstairs is crazy, right? That's Number One! Does he fancy your three melons and two dates?"

Exactly, exactly!

Does he fancy your three melons and two dates?

Cheng Shuili snorted internally while a smile appeared on her face.

Anyway, her money really did arrive.

A private message arrived again.

【Bu Xiang Shangban】: We still need cards, a large quantity. Our boss asked me to tell you first, hoping that, considering our previous pleasant trades, you'll set aside some for us.

Leaving any is impossible; as soon as a trade comes from 001, it's executed immediately.

However, in Cheng Shuili's view, although there's a new wave of demand, it's probably not much. These people are the type to save wherever possible; even if they decide to buy, they won't purchase a lot at once.

Many have only bought enough for today's use.

As for tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

If another method appears, the cards would have been bought for nothing.

They are reluctant.

Because of this reluctance, they are even willing to gamble with their lives.

Cheng Shuili can't articulate an assessment of these people; she also doesn't want to assess them.

Bu Xiang Shangban received a reply from Wu Ya.

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: "Sure."

Bu Xiang Shangban let out a sigh of relief; the organization's statistical speed is still somewhat slow, and he fears they won't be able to purchase the cards.
