Chapter 263: Town Central Hospital

So Cheng Shuili opened five items from the golden treasure chest at once...

That's equivalent to defeating five monsters?

She had already been using it for a long time.

As the accounts grew more confusing, Cheng Shuili shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

She turned on the radio; no matter which special zone, she now needed to go there.

Going to the trading station lets you buy some food; going to the garbage station lets you find the Rat King on the black market for some RPG; going to the fuel station also has merchant NPCs.

Going to the Beastman Town would be best—just have Qi Wan Yi come over with a Designated Player Duel Card, and we'll go see a doctor together.

Cheng Shuili could also browse the weapon shop.

In short, the radio is turned on.

After summarizing the night's events, 001 finally came to report.

"Boss, this time the Primary Condensed Water Device sold a total of 923 units! 542 units were traded for items! Total revenue this time is Game Coins, plus some items!"

"Congratulations, Boss! You've made a fortune!"

What are you saying?

Cheng Shuili shook her head, opened her panel to check how many Game Coins she had left; today she earned a bit less from bread, adding up to Game Coins!

140,000!

While Cheng Shuili was sighing, the 500,000 compensation page popped up again.

She pretended not to see it, directly clicked the close button, and then genuinely smiled.

Not bad!

She really is rich now!

But it's still not enough.

Cheng Shuili asked about Xinxue's business; ordinary rain tarps sell well, but they're still basic supplies, most people exchange them for basic materials.

Cheng Shuili thought: now basically everyone has energy stones, so it's time to put outsourced processing on the agenda.

She announced four outsourced processing items on the regional channel.

They are the Advanced Condensed Water Device, the Excellent Automatic Hunting Device, the Fuel Evolution Device, and the Acid Rain-Resistant Polymer Rain Tarp.

The required materials have all doubled; energy stones are no exception.

The outsourcing fee is 100 Game Coins; the rest will be handled by 001.

As for why not outsource the sunroom...

This thing is for growing crops; Cheng Shuili's manor has over fifty thousand mu of land, which will all be utilized later—this output capacity is terrifying!

They definitely can't eat it all; if they can't, they'll have to sell it.

If we outsource this now, everyone could grow crops independently—what would she sell later?

Making money now is making money now; we can't cut off our future source of wealth.

Cheng Shuili's message caused the regional channel to explode.

"Wu Ya!!! You can outsource the Advanced Condensed Water Device! And you're even selling the Primary Condensed Water Device separately to us?"

Cheng Shuili calmly scratched her head; although she didn't expect these people's focus to be here, she's a merchant, not a philanthropist.

Does making money really need so many reasons?

Besides... yesterday there were no energy stones, so even if she announced this, those people couldn't produce them anyway?

To blame... no, why should we blame?

What's not to use? These two things don't conflict at all.

Cheng Shuili thought, then suddenly felt guilty, posting the details of several items on the regional channel and adding: "Process according to demand, early processing for early use; latecomers may have to queue."

This statement is factual, but some people still exploded.

"Boycott Wu Ya!!! This profiteer! I really can't take it! I was originally from Zone 1000, where he outsourced for only 5 Game Coins! Later I was from Zone 666, where he was scolded on the regional channel and suddenly started charging 50 Game Coins! Now nothing has happened—what gives you the right to charge 100 Game Coins?"

It's clear they're very angry.

"Exactly!! We just merged zones, we didn't get rich—why did it double again?!"

"That's right! Why so sudden? Our Game Coins didn't just blow in from the wind!"

"Eh... first, no one forced you to outsource. Second, if you don't have enough money, it shows Wu Ya isn't after your money. Third, it's the apocalypse now—there are no philanthropists!"

He made perfect sense, but Cheng Shuili didn't expect anyone to speak up for her at this time.

Sure enough, they treated him as a traitor and attacked him en masse.

Cheng Shuili shook her head but didn't say anything else.

These items aren't Primary Condensed Water Devices; she has a large stock, and if someone buys, she can deliver immediately.

There's only one workbench, so processing can only be done one at a time; more orders mean longer lead times, and over time you'll get situations where people die before their items are finished.

Cheng Shuili shook her head; a slightly higher price can deter one person, and that's one person.

She originally wanted to close the regional channel, but then she saw a message from a peer.

"Exactly, what's wrong with 100 Game Coins? 100 Game Coins is great! Also, I happen to have a few blueprints, and I also have a workbench; if you think Wu Ya's place is too expensive, come check out my stuff—do you need any of these?"

"These blueprints are all high-grade, especially that rain tarp—look at the description; with this you won't need to buy ordinary rain tarps! The remaining materials already exceed 100 Game Coins, right? Very suitable! If you really want to boycott Wu Ya, I suggest coming to me for outsourcing; my blueprints aren't as authoritative as Wu Ya's, but they're definitely not bad! Only 99 Game Coins! Welcome everyone."

99 Game Coins...

Cheng Shuili shook her head, about to click on the two avatars to see what they were processing, when the vehicle suddenly stopped.

Su Rui shouted: "Beastman Town has arrived!"

Oh?

Already here?

Cheng Shuili stood up, looked out the window, and saw a fork junction quietly connected to the highway.

She took a deep breath and sent a message to Qi Wan Yi, telling her to use the Designated Player Duel Card.

Cheng Shuili had never tried this before and wasn't really sure if it would work.

【Wan Yi】: It prompts me that you're in a special area and cannot use it.

Ah...

The system really leaves no loophole at all.

There was nothing to be done; Cheng Shuili sighed regretfully and asked again how Qi Wan Yi's situation was.

【Wan Yi】: It's fine, just a continuous low fever... the injury is still somewhat serious.

Indeed serious.

Cheng Shuili's expression turned grave; she summoned Su Rui, and the two got out of the car and headed straight for the Shou Ren Xiao Zhen hospital.

If a person can't come, online medical consultation works too!

Even if online medical care isn't possible, the hospital in Shou Ren Xiao Zhen surely has some treasure of the shop, right?

Cheng Shuili is now wealthy; if all else fails, why not just buy it outright?

The two marched along, but took a wrong turn at the fork; only after asking a kind-hearted rhinoceros beastman did they find the way to the hospital, and after some twists and turns, they finally arrived at the main gate of the town's central hospital.
