Chapter 204: Two Letters of Commendation

Cheng Shuili looked carefully at the card again, thought about her balance, and with her empty territory she suddenly felt like buying.

This is a card; the price shouldn't be affected by the famine, right?

Cheng Shuili asked for the price.

"The basic cards used for this kind of territory are normally 300 Game Coin each; I can offer you 280 Game Coin each, and with your VIP Tier 3 40% discount it's only 168 Game Coin each."

168 Game Coin, huh…

Cheng Shuili hesitated a bit; she didn't actually need the card, and the sudden urge to buy was only just in case.

She felt that although she had unlocked the "Territory" feature, this thing was more like an add‑on that most people never use.

It might be important later, but for now it's truly useless.

Cheng Shuili suddenly lifted her hand, picked up the card, and decided to buy one.

Even if she might need it later, having one for emergencies… then she'll buy five, after all Cheng Shuili isn't short on Game Coin.

She set the card down, pointed and said, "That one, five pieces."

This fox beastman was quite servile; he immediately nodded, bent over and replied, "Alright, miss! I'll pack it for you right away. By the way… if you don't have a familiar manager at the Beast Trade Association, you can give my name in the future, and you'll get a slightly better discount when buying items!"

Hearing that, Cheng Shuili remembered she had promised Hu Lailai that future purchases should mention her name.

However… both beastmen are of the same race, yet their styles are worlds apart.

Hu Lailai gives freebies directly, while this one…

Cheng Shuili suddenly saw the name on his chest plaque—Hu Lieli.

Good name.

This Hu Lieli prefers to state aloud how much cheaper it is, but whether it truly is cheaper…

Probably only the internal staff know.

Cheng Shuili shook her head and said, "I know the manager Hu Lailai here."

The other's expression clearly froze, and his attitude was no longer as enthusiastic; he stepped back half a step, straightened his posture, and then cleared his throat lightly, saying, "You have purchased a total of 5 Territory Servant Cards, original price 1500, after a 40% discount it's 900 Game Coin. How would you like to pay?"

Cheng Shuili replied with a half‑smile, "No more discount?"

Su Rui, hearing that, couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her.

This kid really… actually says some awkward things.

Hu Lieli clearly showed an annoyed expression, and realizing they were in the Beast Trade Association where every move was watched as part of an evaluation, he forced another smile, "Sorry about that, but that discount only applies when recorded on my personal account."

Cheng Shuili nodded, took the five Territory Servant Cards from the attendant beside her, and as she habitually checked the goods, she suddenly noticed a problem.

What she received wasn't five cards, but a full five hundred.

Five hundred…

Cheng Shuili carefully observed the attendant's expression and kept an eye on Hu Lieli's face.

Good, it's not a mistake.

It's a card bug!

A very common quantity bug, it's been a while.

In her previous life Cheng Shuili was a bug fixer; for problems like this, the usual approach is to delete the items that appeared in the player's inventory and then issue compensation.

However, some planners who intentionally create hype may choose not to delete the items.

As for the system… Cheng Shuili doesn't know its purpose, but it's clearly the latter!

In other words, once payment is made, the five hundred Territory Servant Cards belong to Cheng Shuili.

As she opened the payment popup, she saw Hu Lieli roll a very obvious white eye, his lips muttering something.

Most people probably couldn't hear it at all.

But who is Cheng Shuili? She's a human with a Bug Physique of 50 points!

Her five senses are far beyond ordinary, so she not only heard Hu Lieli's rant but heard it especially clearly.

"Hu Lailai's trash of a customer is also trash, really, what the heck, wasting my time."

A crooked idea suddenly sprang to Cheng Shuili's mind.

Through her recent contemplation of the Bug Physique, she had drawn some conclusions.

For example, the system's items are conserved: if a bug spawns an item for her, that same item is missing elsewhere.

That means if she obtains these five hundred Territory Servant Cards, the Beast Trade Association will lose five hundred of them.

Then…

Such a large association must do an accounting, right?

Cheng Shuili, as if she hadn't heard Hu Lieli, smiled and asked, "If this transaction is on your account, can you give me the cheap price?"

Su Rui, standing nearby, involuntarily frowned slightly; this wasn't the Cheng Shuili she knew.

She glanced at Cheng Shuili from the corner of her eye, and after seeing that truly wicked smile, Su Rui instantly understood.

Who's provoked this lady again?!

Huh? This beastman?

Only four words in Su Rui's gaze: "Seek your own blessings."

Unfortunately, Hu Lieli is also an inhumane beast; seeing Su Rui's look, he thought she was begging for that 20 Game Coin discount.

He looked down on the two humans a bit more, originally intending to refuse outright, but recalling that VIP Tier 3 customers accumulate more points, he couldn't help wagging his tail, with a spiteful motive toward Hu Lailai, and agreed, "Of course, esteemed customer, I'll send you a new payment page right away!"

Cheng Shuili calmly nodded, but her gaze never left Hu Lieli's face.

She recalled that the Beast Trade Association allows complaint letters, posted on the notice board at the entrance; judging by the board's setup, the association seems to take this quite seriously.

Since that's the case… don't blame Cheng Shuili for sending him two complaint letters.

One from her, one from Su Rui; Su Rui helped write hers.

Not bad, perfectly done.

The earlier payment notice required a total of 840 Game Coins; that's cheap.

Cheng Shuili clicked the payment very briskly; after this expense, she still has Game Coins in her hand.

Hu Leilei seemed very pleased, raised a hand and was about to send the two humans away.

Cheng Shuili also raised her hand, cleared her throat lightly and said: "There should be a place here to write commendation letters, right? Could you get me two sheets of paper and two pens? My… friend and I want to write you two commendation letters."

Su Rui instinctively turned her head toward Cheng Shuili, and upon seeing the familiar smile, couldn't help but make a speechless face.

Cheng Shuili really doesn't mind the hassle when she does something bad.
