Chapter 233: Classics Everlasting

When the time comes, the seeds, the seedlings, the harvest—all belong to our own people!

Things are easy to allocate, too!

Cheng Shuili thought for a moment and decided to give them a preventive shot first.

Being a servant, huh...

In fact it's no different from a part‑time job, and there's no mileage requirement, no danger; you just need to do a little work each day.

It's just that the name of this occupation doesn't sound very good.

And Cheng Shuili, as a master, is different from those farm owners!

She provides meals and lodging, and even gives time off!

You could say it's the best way to sell one's body!

Cheng Shuili hesitated for a moment, then typed out a sentence.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I just realized that merely signing a trade contract isn't enough; we also need to use a card. The compensation can be a bit higher, with meals and lodging as the baseline. Meals mean the usual three hot meals a day, guaranteed to taste about the same as what you had last time, and you can have extra meals at night. As for housing, it's a villa. You might want to consider it.

Cheng Shuili stared at that sentence for a while, confirmed it was very gentle and wouldn't get a beating, then clicked Send.

Cloud's Archrival's eyes lit up the moment she saw the message; she pointed at the day's meals and said to Mr. Dumpling, "The same rice as last time!! The same as last time!! You said it was especially tasty last time. How about we agree right now?"

Mr. Dumpling brushed away her finger, looked at Wu Ya's message, and his brow furrowed tighter the more he read.

Whenever things go against the norm, there must be a monster.

Wu Ya suddenly sending so many words must be a problem.

She held down Cloud's Archrival's restless hand and replied cautiously:

【Cloud's Express】: What kind of card needs to be used?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: The domain servant card.

Cheng Shuili became honest again at this point; she even sent the card details over.

The other side seemed to examine it carefully and only replied after a while.

【Cloud's Archrival】: Is the big boss joking?

This joke isn't funny at all.

Cheng Shuili was silent for a moment, then began to reflect on herself again.

In this place, conscience truly is a hindrance.

Why must we speak nicely to the other side? Clearly Su Rui was forced to become a servant... she could do the same.

Cheng Shuili initially gave herself the reason that once both sides agree, the servant obtained would be more loyal. But she knows that's just an excuse; a servant simply cannot betray.

The reason Cheng Shuili doesn't do that is simple: she cannot bring herself to do such a thing.

Even though people have killed, everything is considered first for oneself, but this matter...

It must be different, right?

Killing is for self‑preservation; at most it's selfishness. If she really uses this card, she'd become a complete brute.

Qi Wan Yi's dinner arrived at that moment; Liang Shanbo had already returned, holding a rice bowl, took a photo and posted it in the small group, and several people praised Sister Wan Yi's cooking.

Cheng Shuili stared at the message for a while, then had a flash of inspiration and sent a photo of the food to Cloud's Archrival.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: The treatment is great, meat at every meal. (image)

【Cloud's Archrival】: Big boss, you...

Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow and pretended not to see.

But Cloud's Archrival sent another message.

【Cloud's Archrival】: We need to discuss it properly; we'll give you an answer before tomorrow noon.

That's pretty good.

Cheng Shuili was very satisfied.

It was almost ten o'clock when Xinxue finally reported.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Lao Da, I got the La Ji Zhan transmission card, but I almost got swindled by that shady merchant and lost a lot of food! Luckily I was clever and used that box of expired canned food you gave me last time to bluff my way through.

Expired canned food?

She must have remembered wrong? That one was clearly given by Liang Shanbo.

Cheng Shuili twitched the corner of her mouth and tapped the screen rapidly with her fingers.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: What about the Jia You Zhan one?

【Xin Xue Chuji】: That... Lao Da, it's not that I'm not trying. No one sells it on the market at all! I checked a dozen trading groups, and not a single person has even heard of it. But...

Cheng Shuili stared at the blinking ellipsis on the screen and waited patiently for half a minute.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: There's someone called 'Black Market Old Cat' who says he's seen it, but he has no stock, says he only sells information, and his price is absurdly high. I suspect he's bragging, so I didn't dare to agree.

I see.

Cheng Shuili asked again, "Are you familiar with this person?"

【Xin Xue Chuji】: This is my first time dealing with him, but others say his information is reliable, and he has a good reputation in the dozen or so trading groups I've joined.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Lao Da, why are you asking? Do you want to buy any information?

She seemed afraid Cheng Shuili might be overthinking, so she added another line.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Lao Da, the things you don't even know—do other players really know them?

Yeah... Cheng Shuili twitched her mouth, but there's no Jia You Zhan transmission card either, so she can only try a desperate remedy.

She told Xinxue to ask about the domain servant card.

Xinxue returned quickly this time, but the news wasn't good: "He said he's never even heard of it, and even asked me for a description of the domain servant card."

Cheng Shuili: "..."

With so little known information, can they still make a name for themselves?

Forging iron still requires you to be strong yourself; this person either has a silver tongue or some other merit.

What a talent.

Cheng Shuili suddenly felt like recruiting; she has a lot of information in hand, and this person has many monetization channels. Their cooperation would be a complete win‑win.

Cheng Shuili searched the ID in the regional channel, double‑checked she hadn't got the wrong person, and then directly stated her intention to cooperate.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I heard you're well‑informed; interested in a long‑term partnership? I provide intel, you handle monetization, a 40‑60 split.

After the message was sent, the chat window immediately showed "The other party is typing…".

But it took a full two minutes before Cheng Shuili received a reply.

【Black Market Old Cat】: You're joking. I'm just a small player; how could I match you for cooperation? However… if you really have hard cash in hand, I could help make introductions.

Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes; this reply was airtight—neither a refusal nor an acceptance, and it also probed her hand.

Cheng Shuili has no interest in playing these meaningless tug‑of‑war games; she definitely intends to earn that money.

Now Black Market Old Cat really has only two options: either cooperate honestly with her, or have the rice bowl snatched by someone else who is working with Wu Ya.

The reality is right before their eyes, yet they still haven't seen it clearly.

When Cheng Shuili was beginning to doubt whether she'd misread the person, another reply arrived.

【Black Market Old Cat】: Wu Ya??? Sorry, boss! I didn't see the ID earlier, didn't know it was you gracing me; I thought someone else was trying to tease me.

Again, the classic mistake of not looking at the ID.
