Chapter 225: Group Photo

Cheng Shuili counted on her fingers and calculated: in terms of area, she would need to buy 620,000 two‑room‑one‑hall apartments for the total area to be roughly comparable to this manor.

That number truly shocked her.

She had previously had no real sense of the manor, and when she learned that Ge Wudi had gotten such a great thing she could only feel envy, but she didn't actually have a strong urge to try to snatch it.

Yet now, seeing this description and recalculating the area…

Whether she can snatch it or not is irrelevant; the owner Ge Wudi must die!

But the timing is just that coincidental!

The other side just happens to have a Special Dungeon Opening Card, and being scheming they want to use it to obtain supplies from several big bosses, and it happens to coincide with a weekend Instance whose difficulty is unusually low…

If even one were missing, Cheng Shuili wouldn't have been able to acquire this manor so smoothly.

She pressed her palms together, her expression devout.

Su Rui, sitting nearby, silently moved a bit closer; if her guess is right, this guy is about to say something like "thanks to the heavens" again.

"Thank you, Cheng Shuili, for your perseverance and effort all the way… thank you, Cheng Shuili, for your bravery and decisiveness all the way…"

Su Rui silently stepped back.

I thought it was about superstition, but it turned out to be madness.

Great.

The items are still being transferred, but Cheng Shuili now expresses full comprehension—after all, it's a full 5,000 hectares, and she can accept anything now.

She shook her head, hummed a tune, opened the regional channel, and saw that everyone was @‑mentioning her.

"@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, big boss! That kid Ge Wudi is provoking you! Can you stand that?!"

After that line scrolled across several pages of the panel, a new message popped up.

"What does it mean to @ only Wuya Dalao? Am I not worthy of Xun Xun, big boss? Am I not worthy of Yu Yu, big boss? I…"

"Everyone! I get what you're thinking! Since you want excitement, why not summon all the big bosses together! Such a situation is rare, so let's all take a group photo as a memento!"

"You're right! @Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, @Yu Linling, @Xun Xun… big bosses, you can't let Ge Wudi just ride on your neck and… poop there, can you?"

That line was quickly copied and sent by countless people.

But… it's all spam; why is that sentence so uncouth?

Cheng Shuili frowned, her face full of disdain at the word "poop," thinking these people do speak up, fearing that the few of them might stay silent.

The first to be blasted out was Xun Xun.

【Xun Xun】: "Can you guys stop saying such disgusting things?"

"It's out!"

"Group photo!"

It seems his comment triggered it; the other people who were @‑mentioned started replying.

【Yu Linling】: "Ge Wudi isn't anything good, and you don't look like it either."

"Hahaha, big boss, that's so incisive!"

"One word hits the nail on the head!"

"Exactly! I love watching the excitement (hands on hips), I want to watch the excitement (hands on hips), let's start fighting!"

【Manglu Youpingfan】: "If we can't use the card today, there's no way to kill anyone."

【Guodu Sikao】: "Why the rush? Let him live one more day, it's fine, right?"

"Is this what a big boss is? Deciding a person's life and death in casual banter!"

"Wu Ya? Wu Ya, come out and speak!"

"@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, @Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, @Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji!"

Cheng Shuili scratched her head; these people are so pretentious, feeling out of sync with her, making her not want to speak.

But since the conversation has already come this far…

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "Will anyone make a move tomorrow morning? Let's not clash with each other."

"Ah… group photo!!! Group photo! Top five on the wealth list! With the richest person on the whole server! Group photo!!!"

"Group photo! Still on the same page! Just one more message and Wu Ya will be squeezed out! Wu Ya is so good at sending messages!"

"Damn, I don't even know what I'm excited about; no matter what they say, it won't change my fate of munching compressed biscuits at noon, but seeing those lines makes me thrilled!"

"I get you, upstairs!!! But I think maybe it's because they're discussing the culprit behind your compressed‑biscuit habit. It feels weirdly magical, like they're my backing, haha, even though I never said a word, so strange!"

"Yes, yes! Too weird, it feels like a big boss is coming out to vent for me! So good! Wu Ya, you all must stay this strong forever!"

【Xun Xun】: "If Wuya Dalao is going to act, I won't join the fun."

【Guodu Sikao】: "If Wu Ya shows up, both I and Manglu Youpingfan will be relieved, so we won't cause trouble."

Yu Linling seemed not to have seen the message; Cheng Shuili wasn't in a hurry, but these people grew increasingly anxious one after another.

The regional channel waited quietly for a while; seeing no news, patience ran out, and everyone began to push like a class monitor urging them.

"@Yu Linling @Yu Linling @Yu Linling, Yu Yu, what are you doing! Answer us, Wu Ya, quickly!"

"@Yu Linling, you waste one minute, and the whole regional channel has so many people; you've wasted many hours! Cherish time, hey!"

"@Yu Linling, you're the worst student I've ever taught!"

Sometimes Cheng Shuili really feels that these people don't actually care whether Yu Linling will reply; they just want to say those things, right?

【Yu Linling】: "Sorry! Sorry! I was cooking just now! Made everyone wait, really sorry! Wu Ya stepping in is the best, giving these people a deterrent; from now on anyone who wants to use this card will have to think about Ge Wudi's fate."

He sounded domineering, but everyone's attention wasn't on that.

"Eating so late."

"No wonder you're a big boss, actually cooking for yourself."

"Cooking? So it's definitely not those junk instant compressed biscuits and bread, right? I'm jealous."

Cheng Shuili actually nodded at that message; it turned out to be a good chance to assert authority. She had thought those people would be politely courteous on the surface, but in fact they were scrambling to take the lead, and unexpectedly handed it to her.

But that's also true; these few people really are Ren Danruju, they speak very little on the regional channel, probably because they truly dislike trouble.

Moreover, Guodu Sikao and Manglu only rose to power because Kaochuan Zhou Ge and Ren Danruju died; the senior just vanished like that, and before dying he even provoked Wu Ya—anyone with a little sense knows who was behind it.

Now their attitude toward Wu Ya is, of course, deferential, even tinged with a strange, grateful feeling for having been helped.

Yes.

Don't be fooled by the few rankings; the rewards for these top spots on the leaderboard differ vastly.

The matter is settled, and it should end here.

But… another protagonist suddenly appeared.
