Chapter 24: Go Eat Shit

Shi Ran: Which lackey is barking here? Did I say something wrong? That Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji got the first reward—what's wrong with sharing a bit of experience?

Cheng Shuili saw the message and hammered her finger on the steering wheel.

She originally didn't want to deal with the leaping‑clown, especially a clown like Shi Ran whom she'd insulted once, but the other side actually dared to insult her long‑term livelihood?

The virtual keyboard popped up instantly, and Cheng Shuili's mouth curled into a cold smile.

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Yo, isn't that the Shi Ran Great Sage I muted last time? What, are you out today to preach to the masses again?

Shi Ran: Stop being so sarcastic! We're all in the same zone; what's wrong with helping each other? People like you are selfish! It's such a small thing—what's wrong with you helping us?

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Haha, first time I've seen someone beg so self‑righteous. Whether I help or not is my business, but you're so selfless—why don't you give your supplies to everyone?

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Oh, almost forgot—last time you pretended to be a big shot, saying "Isn't it just a box of self‑heating rice?" Why can't you produce it when asked? Like to come out and make everyone laugh? Clown.

Cheng Shuili let out a cold laugh, about to take advantage of his weakness to kill him, when a private message showed someone had started a message.

Zi Ran Yang Rou: Boss, can I trade for 10 liters of daily water?

Cheng Shuili's eyebrows lifted; she was short of that. Yesterday Wan Yi, while handling wild boars, used too much. He first used up his own, then almost emptied Cheng Shuili's storage.

There's no way; daily water can't be drunk, it's basically for washing clothes, cooking, and hygiene.

Cheng Shuili's clothes are basically rotated; she hasn't even opened laundry detergent yet. Meals are fully handled by Wan Yi, leaving only hygiene.

Cheng Shuili decided to keep a bit for herself and gave the rest of the stored water to Wan Yi.

This deal came at just the right time!

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Fine, just give it away directly, and I'll give you the info.

Zi Ran Yang Rou originally had some doubts, but after realizing the trader was Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, felt much more at ease; it was the same feeling as buying things from a big shop in a past life.

Their family is huge and prosperous; they can't be short of your little bit.

Cheng Shuili quickly received a system notification.

"You have received a gift from player 【Zi Ran Yang Rou】: daily water ×10 liters."

Cheng Shuili got up, poured the daily water into the storage tank, and then explained the moss details to Zi Ran Yang Rou; the other side quickly relayed the message to the companion still in the Instance.

Not long after, Cheng Shuili received his private message again.

Zi Ran Yang Rou: My friend has come out, thanks to Wuya Dalao!

Cheng Shuili smiled, opened the zone channel and continued to spar with Shi Ran.

Shi Ran: Heh, stop shifting the topic! I may not have more supplies than you, but I dare to speak up for everyone! Unlike you, who hides your skill when you have some. These days are hard for everyone; what's wrong with lending a hand? Will you die?

Shi Ran: Besides, what secret is your little experience? It's just luck picking up a stray drop. Do you really think you're some big boss? Stop pretending!

Shi Ran: Everyone, judge for yourselves—he can help people with a simple finger movement, yet he puts on airs. What is this, cold‑bloodedness? If everyone were like him, humanity would have gone extinct long ago!

Shi Ran: Weren't you quite talkative just now? Now you're mute? Feeling guilty, huh? Speak up! @Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji

Shi Ran grew more agitated, and the messages she sent even contained typos.

Cheng Shuili squinted, finding it pointless to argue with him; this person likes moral blackmail, so Cheng Shuili decided to let him experience being blackmailed.

Her fingertips danced swiftly across the virtual keyboard, each line of text laced with poison:

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: You're so generous, then I'll give you a chance.

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Since Shi Ran the Great Good Person is so concerned about humanity's survival, she must be willing to sacrifice herself, right? If you can eat a lump of feces, record it on video and post it, I will immediately broadcast all the information I have on the zone channel.

When Cheng Shuili posted this, the entire zone channel instantly exploded.

Chi Gua Bu Tu Zi: WTF! Boss, this move is straight‑up god‑level!

Ning Meng Jing Ben Jing: Laughing so hard I burst out laughing, hahaha, who can block this? @Shi Ran, send the challenge letter! Aren't you the most devoted? (pounding ground laughing. jpg)

Lu Ren Jia: Although… this request is a bit disgusting, right?

Zhuan Ye Tai Gang: Hey, saint upstairs, wake up! It was this idiot who started the moral blackmail! (throws Dao De Jing at face. gif)

Cheng Shuili almost laughed out loud; where did these people get such memes, even animated ones—so vivid!

Shi Ran: You all are sick, damn it?! @Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, aren't you disgusting! Using such despicable tactics is acceptable?!

Jin Tian Ye Yao Jia You Ya: Getting nervous! Didn't you just say a simple finger move could help people? Now you can't even move your mouth? (duck tilting head mocking. jpg)

Jian Pan Xia Ben Xia: @Shi Ran, double‑standard dog nailed! Let you eat shit and curse, let others selflessly give and be righteous!

Zhao Hong originally took this as a joke; anyone with eyes can see Shi Ran just looks for trouble, moral blackmail.

Until Wu Ya said he'd reveal all info, he instantly lost composure.

He sat up abruptly, so excited he even wanted to speak directly, telling Shi Ran to honestly eat it and post it—this would truly benefit society, far more useful than his empty trash‑talk!

The above has been worrying about those 45 fragments for days; if this could solve it…

Zhao Hong couldn't hold back and posted a line.

Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing: How about you just eat it?

The moment the message popped up, the whole zone channel eerily fell silent for three seconds.

Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow, her fingertips lightly tapping the steering wheel. How could an official say anything decent? Probably driven mad by the 45 fragments.

"Poof." She burst into laughter; the virtual screen's blue light reflected in her curved eyes, "This batch of netizens is far more interesting than I thought."

Shi Ran: @Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing, you damn sick! If you think you can, go ahead!

Guang Hui Zhao Yao Lan Xing: I never asked anyone to selflessly give.

Zhao Hong innocently spread his hands, really wishing he could force him to do something.

That's 45 fragments!

If it could actually work…

Zhao Hong sighed, what a pity.

The zone channel's big battle ended, occasionally popping up two lines awaiting Shi Ran's video.

Cheng Shuili suddenly saw a very long message.

Zi Ran Yang Rou: Um… actually Wuya Dalao is super nice. Before I traded with him I was nervous; I didn't have many supplies. But I really didn't expect that he only asked for 10 liters of daily water—a wooden supply box's worth—so cheap and useful! My friend has already come out. Wish Wuya Dalao's business thrives!
