Chapter 197: No Good Death

Cheng Shuili ignored Su Rui's joke, got up and stood in front of the workbench, the upgraded blueprint is…

【Acid‑erosion‑resistant Composite Rain‑proof Cloth Blueprint】

What a long name.

Cheng Shuili made a snarky remark and kept scrolling down.

【Effect: Just reading this line saves time; the upgraded blueprint is worlds apart from the original! The three‑layer composite material resists torrential rain, hail, strong winds and scorching sun! The upgrade uses fully automatic nylon ropes that fix and retract themselves! The only drawback is that the required materials are too many varieties.】

Many required materials? That's no real flaw for Cheng Shuili, just that mass production might be delayed.

【Materials needed: Plastic x18, Rubber x12, Iron block x10, Iron nail x20, Fiber board x4, Wire x2, Small motor x1, Energy stone x4】

The required materials are indeed many.

Cheng Shuili was not flustered at all, and methodically took out all the materials.

After she obtained a small motor last time, she had Xinxue keep an eye out; Xinxue collected quite a few, and now they're finally useful.

The previously scarce energy stones now number over a hundred, and the other materials are even more abundant.

Cheng Shuili sat at the workbench and fabricated the upgraded rain‑proof cloth.

When the upgraded cloth unfolded in Cheng Shuili's hands, even Su Rui beside her couldn't help but step closer.

The whole sheet showed a matte dark‑gray hue, its surface faintly glinting with a metallic chill, and a fingertip could feel the unique grain of the three layers.

In short, it's high‑grade.

Cheng Shuili had no doubt about its protective effect.

"This texture…" Su Rui scratched a spot on the edge with her nail, and the cloth left no mark.

Cheng Shuili was even more satisfied, immediately opened the vehicle door, hugged the cloth and stepped outside the vehicle.

The monsters separated by the shield instantly got excited, shrieking wildly as they tried to draw the two human ladies' attention.

But unfortunately, neither of these humans is normal.

Cheng Shuili devoted herself to figuring out how to install the cloth, while Su Rui just stood by, doing nothing but just Cou Re Nao.

The installation process was absurdly simple.

Following the instructions, Cheng Shuili tossed the cloth onto the car roof; the four nylon ropes instantly acted like target‑locking snakes, precisely coiling around the fixed hooks around the vehicle.

With a few mechanical "clack" sounds of gears biting, this seemingly arduous installation was finished just like that.

Both were a bit stunned, stared at the cloth from outside the vehicle for a while before getting back inside.

"Is this thing… really useful, huh?"

"Indeed useful."

After a brief chat, they each went back to their own tasks.

The two have become accustomed to this mode of interaction.

Cheng Shuili lifted a bowl of white porridge at the right temperature, sipping it in small mouthfuls while continuing to browse the regional channel's news.

"Since the gas‑station merchant NPC is real, does that mean this matter still has credibility?"

"In that case, it does seem to have some credibility."

"I don't care how credible you are; I just hate you! Nima, wait for me, I'll kill you right now!"

"Which house's mad dog ran out? Can you tie a leash on it?"

"Is it because his house is too empty that he went crazy on the regional channel? That's pitiful, everyone must not sympathize with him."

"Killing one person is so boring, huh? Want me to give you some cards to kill their friends, family? And also the strangers who just talked to him on the regional channel, kill them all together."

"Finally, remember to kill yourself too, you're the one who should die most, don't let yourself live."

The following dozen‑plus lines were all taunts toward that player shouting about killing.

All were statements with extremely high attack power.

But Cheng Shuili was quite pleased to see this.

Before, the conservatives were silenced by the radicals; now it's reversed, the conservatives think the radicals are too conservative.

The argument quickly halted because that player posted again.

"I'm glad to see this; since I spoke, no one has used a Designated Player Duel Card on me. I now think everyone is worth living, so I choose to reveal this Instance's information."

All this baiting, finally something useful to say?

Cheng Shuili scrolled down with anticipation, her brows furrowing tighter.

In the hundred‑plus entries below, there was no comment from that player.

"Not me… are we being ripped off?"

"@No‑Man's‑Land, speak up! The mood's right, we trust you now! Speak!"

"No, had I known, I wouldn't have blocked that lunatic with a Designated Player Duel Card earlier."

"Huh? Why did that happen? After using a Designated Player Duel Card, it told me the player doesn't exist."

"Player doesn't exist?"

Cheng Shuili paused, then tried it herself; they were right—the player truly doesn't exist.

Interesting.

Isn't this exactly the treasure she's been looking for, the one ordinary players hold?

What is it? A special item? Special gear? Or some unseen card?

Cheng Shuili kept scrolling down.

"??? You must have typed the wrong name, right? Let me try! Damn! It really doesn't exist! What's going on?"

"Ahhh, were we talking to a ghost just now?"

"'Ignorance' truly, it's seeing everything… 【Anonymous Card】, did you see it? It's this thing."

"This isn't ignorance, it's stupidity."

"Oh, a rare card? Thanks for sharing it, I want this card, you have to drop it for me."

Cheng Shuili frowned; she really dislikes this kind of death threat.

This is the latest news.

While Cheng Shuili was feeling regretful, she suddenly received a private message.

【Emily】: Lao Da, have you seen the region channel's news? About the Anonymous Card, you saw it, right?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Saw it.

After Cheng Shuili replied, she waited for Ailin's next message.

This person doesn't often initiate contact with her; their chat history still ends at the Driver Card Cheng Shuili gave. But since she reached out, it must be something important.

【Emily】: After I just saw the info on this card, a card whose description hadn't been unlocked suddenly unlocked its description. It was all question marks, so I hadn't told you; now you can see it.

Lock Card.

The name is quite interesting.

Cheng Shuili clicked to view the details of the two cards.

【Anonymous Card】

【Description: Completely anonymous in the region, any player cannot use Designated Player Duel Card on you!】

【Lock Card】

【Description: Lock a specified anonymous player and perform a road merge!】

Right.

You can't use Designated Player Duel Card, but you can use Lock Card.

That's the system's consistently nasty style.

【Emily】: Let me ask this anonymous player… what exactly is the Instance about?

Cheng Shuili smiled.
