Chapter 220: The Eternal PDF
"You have received a gift from player Zhu Xuan: Game Coin x2200, Auto‑Pilot Card x2."
"Did you add two hundred Game Coins? What you gave was the Auto‑Pilot Card."
"The latter needs to be cheap, newly learned."
"As for the former…"
"Sigh."
"It's really not much."
"Cheng Shuili, despite feeling reluctant, still accepted his gift."
"Next comes the most important data."
"Zhu Xuan is the type who, once he says he'll do it, actually does; he indeed sent Cheng Shuili all the organized data from the group."
"It was a PDF‑format document."
"This was Cheng Shuili's first time learning that this cursed place even has such a thing."
"The moment she saw it, she cared little about its contents and instead asked Zhu Xuan directly."
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "How did you get the document format?"
"Obviously there's nothing to hide."
【Zhu Xuan】: "It was made by an NPC in Shou Ren Xiao Zhen; we have a fairly big demand for this, so we specifically added a contact method with that NPC, and he handles the revisions and additions."
"Shou Ren Xiao Zhen also has this business?"
"That's absurd."
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "Want Game Coins?"
【Zhu Xuan】: "Of course."
"The other side seemed speechless, then added another sentence."
【Zhu Xuan】: "There's nothing free in this place."
"Tsk."
"Cheng Shuili knows this isn't very proper, but it's really hard to resist."
"She certainly knows it's not free; her question merely means, 'Why waste Game Coins on a place like this?'"
"Game Coins are still a scarce currency; players rarely trade directly with them, most still barter."
"Cheng Shuili shook her head: besides looking good, what's the use of this?"
"She was initially puzzled, but once she realized it's 'good‑looking', she was no longer confused at all."
"They are an official organization; although not openly announced, anyone with slightly better conditions knows about it."
"The few other groups outside the official organization are also known."
"Because they are official, the face of Long Guo, what they present must look good."
"Sometimes a reputation is also a burden."
"Cheng Shuili sighed, didn't reply to Zhu Xuan, and silently forwarded the document to a small group of a few people, then privately sent each one a copy as a backup."
"After sharing appropriately, she opened the file to read it carefully."
"The organization has indeed seen many monsters Cheng Shuili hasn't, but aside from that, everything else is things Cheng Shuili already knows."
"She glanced at it a few times and then closed the file."
"Cheng Shuili wants this not for herself but for her future team."
"Whether called an organization or a guild."
"Currently there's no clear tool to bind that many players together; whether official or those few civilian groups, they all have only a single group chat."
"This thing has absolutely no binding power."
"Compared to that, the official organization is fairly decent; at least members consciously follow each rule set."
"Those few civilian groups…"
"It's hard to sum up; Cheng Shuili recently saw several warning posts from other players in the regional channel."
"It says you must first pay supplies to enter; after paying, someone adds the player to a group chat, and then…"
"And then nothing."
"Honestly, how is this different from a scammer?"
"At the time, someone in the regional channel said, 'A scammer will delete you after cheating, you can't find them. This organization is fine, you can see them and they'll talk to you, they just won't return your supplies.'"
"Cheng Shuili, upon hearing that, could only laugh speechlessly: what's the point of joining such a place?"
"Yet people keep coming and going without end."
"Probably because human nature likes to huddle for warmth."
"Cheng Shuili is no exception, but unlike them, she won't give up; she will carefully choose her partners."
"Guang Hui and Chen Qing Shan are now on the assessment list; they may later officially join the small group of a few of them, as for when…"
"That depends on their performance."
"Cheng Shuili is satisfied with her current situation; she turned her head and saw Su Rui with a goofy grin."
"Indeed, ever since this guy discovered he had a sense of taste, he's kept that expression."
"Every few minutes he opens Cheng Shuili's fridge, looking for something edible."
"Unfortunately, Cheng Shuili doesn't have many snacks; the fridge holds only vegetables and raw meat, so Su Rui finds little to eat."
"Otherwise he wouldn't be eating the tea‑egg that Cheng Shuili forgot."
"Cheng Shuili propped her chin, looked at her with a loving gaze for a while, and when Su Rui's scalp tingled, finally asked, 'Will you have taste forever, or just today?'"
"'You think it's because it's a day off, right?'"
"Su Rui's answer was very realistic."
Both of them are realistic people.
Cheng Shuili didn't say anything else, just knocked on Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai's small window.
Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai was very happy, Lao Da has been looking for her frequently lately, she was very happy!
Does this mean her status in Lao Da's heart is higher?
Hope there will be a day surpassing Xinxue.
【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Lao Da! I'm here! Please give your orders!
Cheng Shuili: "......"
She often feels out of place with her subordinates because she is too normal.
Yes.
She remained silent for a while, but still sent the message over.
【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Send me some snacks, as long as they taste good, spicy strips are fine too.
【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】:???
No, she thought she would be heavily relied upon by Lao Da, but it turned out Lao Da came to rob?
These snacks of hers were all obtained through great effort, coaxing and tricking in the trading channel!
That woman Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji actually wants to leave just by opening and closing her mouth?
Wuwu, that is her most beloved Lao Da.
Can't we not give it?
【You received a gift from player Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: cucumber-flavored happy potato chips x1, longlong spicy strips x2...】
Altogether there are over ten kinds of snacks, almost comparable to a big snack gift pack.
Cheng Shuili actually feels a bit disdainful; she used to like these things as a child, but after a certain day she could no longer muster interest.
Probably because she grew up.
She placed the snacks in front of Su Rui, and in Su Rui's surprised gaze she lightly said: "Eat more, tomorrow you won't be able to taste them."
Su Rui: "......"
Although it seems true, why does it sound like she's going to die tomorrow?
Cheng Shuili also seemed to realize this issue, she lightly coughed twice, and to ease the awkwardness added: "Leave some room for lunch, Wan Yi made it, her cooking is great, you definitely have to try it."
"En." Su Rui's expression was very cold.
But given how many days Cheng Shuili has lived with her and knows her, this isn't coldness, it's shyness—she's embarrassed to speak to her.
Su Rui is just such a miraculously introverted person with acquaintances.
