Chapter 237: Advantages

Is there another way? First brace the vehicle's durability, and before the vehicle is about to be scrapped, use a Vehicle Repair Card.

This is the most reasonable method.

But they can't even afford rainproof cloth, let alone a Vehicle Repair Card. This card can be said to be the rarest among all Vehicle Cards.

Now it seems they have only two paths left: one is to spend everything to buy rainproof cloth from Xinxue, which requires Xinxue to keep buying, and they also need to get good items from treasure chests, or to quickly obtain the ten‑percent share that Wu Ya promised them…

This situation is too ideal; no matter how you look at it, it's unrealistic.

The other path is to use the supplies of two people to preserve one person.

Shui Jiao Xiansheng frowned; sometimes she really couldn't understand. It was only a tick of the hour hand, how did their situation become irredeemably dire so quickly?

Shui Jiao Xiansheng's mood wasn't high, even a bit desperate, while Yun's archrival was still happy about snatching two rainproof cloths.

She gave one of the snatched rainproof cloths to Shui Jiao Xiansheng, reminding, "Remember to hold the umbrella and keep shouting, don't get rained on. This rain is highly corrosive; be careful."

Shui Jiao Xiansheng replied with a nod, executed her words to the dot, and after covering the vehicle with the rainproof cloth, the decreasing durability finally stopped.

She suddenly remembered in the rain that they actually had another option: become a servant for Wu Ya.

But that's being a servant…

In this damned place, what good could a servant be?

For Shui Jiao Xiansheng, she can take risks, but she can't risk Yun's archrival; they grew up together, more like family than friends, and Yun's archrival is her only sister.

If she had to choose, she'd rather only one of the two survive.

Shui Jiao Xiansheng closed her eyes and silently made a decision.

When the acid rain started again, Yun's archrival suddenly received the rainproof cloths sent by Shui Jiao Xiansheng—exactly sixty of them, enough for several days.

She widened her eyes and asked where the other side got these items.

Yun's archrival already had a bad premonition.

She is a bit slow, a little dumb, but she's not a fool! And this detestable guy, Shui Jiao Xiansheng, when faced with her question, actually intended to brush it off casually.

Yun's archrival is impulsive, hot‑tempered, a bundle of flaws, but these flaws become strengths when dealing with this close friend.

She almost without hesitation took out the last extremely precious Designated Player Duel Card, selected Shui Jiao Xiansheng, and chose to use it.

Dealing with this hard‑mouthed person, throwing the facts in front of her is the best method!

This self‑righteous person surely made another self‑centered decision. Without seeing Shui Jiao Xiansheng's situation with her own eyes, Yun's archrival wouldn't be at ease.

Cheng Shuili didn't know any of this; she only knew that the person who yesterday would rather die than be a servant suddenly changed her mind today.

【Yun's archrival】: Boss… the servant card you mentioned, are there still slots?

Before Cheng Shuili could reply, the other side retracted and sent another message.

【Yun's archrival】: Boss, we've thought it over, but there are a few things we still need to confirm with you. Do you have time to discuss?

The retracted message was completely passive, handing all initiative over to Cheng Shuili.

Whereas the latter message was sophisticated, wanting to negotiate the specific terms with her.

If Cheng Shuili didn't know the other side were two people, she would truly think it's a primary and secondary personality fighting for control of the body.

She smiled at the message, gathered herself, and replied: "Just say it directly."

【Yun's archrival】: So, how many hours a day do we need to work? What exactly is required? How long are the holidays, is there a weekend off? Can all these be set in advance? Also, Boss, you should first guarantee that we aren't in any life‑threatening danger, right?

This…

They're actually quite clever; if this can be settled, they'd be almost like employees.

But if this compromise can achieve Cheng Shuili's goal, she would of course agree.

She gave specific answers to several questions.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I called you here as consultants, specifically for farming issues, definitely not as laborers, you can rest assured. Double weekends can be guaranteed, safety absolutely guaranteed. Farming doesn't require you to be there every moment, but the yield will definitely be tied to your compensation; I can't have you fish three days and sunbathe two days without tending the fields, and then I still have to manage your meals, right?

【Yun's archrival】: That's appropriate; if possible, we can sign the contract right now.

Cheng Shuili felt they were still gambling.

Because even Cheng Shuili herself wasn't sure whether a trade contract signed as a player remains valid after becoming a servant.

And… why did they suddenly change their minds? So strange. But Cheng Shuili didn't say much; achieving the goal is what matters!

She instructed 001 to draft a trade contract based on the two's chat logs and sent it to the other side.

The other side seemed to have read every clause carefully, and after five minutes sent back a "no problem" reply.

When signing, Cheng Shuili finally saw the mysterious partner's ID—Shui Jiao Xiansheng.

Very good.

If she only wants seeds, she can go rob now.

These two being so cautious is still a gamble on Cheng Shuili's conscience. Cheng Shuili shook her head, even more curious why they suddenly changed their minds.

After the contract is signed, it's time to use the Territory Servant Card.

Cheng Shuili crafted a card, thinking she could use it directly, but received a prompt.

【Player and target are not in the same space, cannot use! Please use the Territory Servant Card face‑to‑face!】

Must be face‑to‑face…

And waste a Designated Player Duel Card too?

No problem, she has plenty.

Cheng Shuili lightly raised an eyebrow, expressionless, selected Yun's archrival and used a Designated Player Duel Card.

Su Rui was driving smoothly, lifted her hand to grab the ice block beside her, intending to give the bored mouth some fun, when the scene before her suddenly flickered.

She jolted, her body tensed, and immediately slammed the brakes.

When her vision cleared again, she was in another place, with a pickup truck parked not far away, looking at it…

Just now… the road merged?

Su Rui, uncertain, pressed both hands on the dashboard and stood up, intending to find Cheng Shuili to explain, when she suddenly saw the other's figure.

Cheng Shuili walked over to the pickup truck as if taking a stroll; moreover, when she turned her head and saw Su Rui in the driver's cabin, she also smiled and greeted her.

Su Rui: "......"

She knew what was going on.
