Chapter 279: Several Hundred Disputes

Xinxue has been quite busy lately.

Moreover, the reason Cheng Shuili previously asked her to help with a purchase was that she herself was too busy to sift through the massive amount of information for suitable deals.

Now she has become the most idle member of the five‑person squad, so that reason is clearly no longer valid.

Another reason was that before, people would watch the Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji name and opportunistically raise the price; although such people still exist, Xinxue is a member of Wu Ya's group, and this matter is almost common knowledge among those with slightly better progress.

Therefore, the advantage of asking Xinxue to make the purchase has vanished.

Cheng Shuili shook her head, instantly opened the regional channel, and her fingers flew as she edited and sent a message.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: High‑price long‑term purchase of Designated Dungeon Activation Cards, some with price tags. Game Coin, materials, special items are all tradable, full of sincerity.

As soon as this message went out, the previously calm regional channel exploded.

Whoa! The big boss has appeared!

Designated Dungeon Activation Card? What high‑grade goods is that? I've never even heard of it!

The big boss is buying weird stuff again... Looks like they've found another way to get rich.

I once got one from a golden chest, but I used it up... If I'd known, I would've saved it to sell to the big boss! What a loss!

Huh?? Isn't this thing for opening an Instance? Why use it yourself?!

Sigh... Do we really need to ask? This damned place has no pointless tasks; the system must have set up a complete reward mechanism for this. After using this card, only you can enter the Instance, and upon exiting you gain attribute points—permanent attribute points!

The person upstairs is the real big boss! Thanks for sharing!

@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji big boss, look at me! I have various rare materials, discounted prices! Need any?

Cheng Shuili's private messages were instantly flooded with various notices.

Some were curious about the card's specific uses, some asked if she needed alternative items, and most simply said they didn't have any but would keep an eye out, hoping to become a familiar face.

Cheng Shuili gave a quick glance and asked 001 to monitor; so far no player actually holding the card and planning to sell was seen.

She wasn't in a hurry; this kind of thing is rare to find, so she posted a purchase notice, and now it's just waiting and filtering.

Su Rui was driving, and Cheng Shuili sat in the carriage fiddling with Night Hunt.

The knife always gives her a vivid feeling, as if it were alive, extremely dependent on its owner. It's like a kitten that clings to a person constantly; if the person stops petting, it feels disappointed.

So strange.

Cheng Shuili shook her head, then suddenly remembered the few outsourcing messages she had seen on the area channel before the last trip to Shou Ren Xiao Zhen.

At the time she was eager to enter Shou Ren Xiao Zhen, and after returning she got so busy she forgot; it wasn't until two or three days later that she recalled.

Cheng Shuili asked 001 to filter out those messages; for this mechanical task, 001 is quite smart.

Two specific outsourcing messages appeared before Cheng Shuili.

The messages came from two different players.

【Haohao】: Professional outsourcing of various schematics! Currently offering high‑quality crossbow bolt schematics—strong power, essential for monster hunting! Simple energy‑storage device schematics, can store a small amount of electricity for sudden power cuts! Also reinforced vehicle hull schematics! Can slightly increase vehicle durability! Processing fee only 99 Game Coin! Materials supplied by buyer! Bulk discount! Reputation guaranteed!

【Ba Tie Lu Fei】: Accepting high‑quality leather armor set schematics, lightweight protection, can boost survivability! Also multifunctional toolbox schematics, integrating various handy tools! Essential for vehicles! Also only 99 Game Coin! Fine craftsmanship, superior quality! First‑come, first‑served!

Cheng Shuili carefully examined the schematic names and effect descriptions they listed.

One must admit these schematics indeed have value, especially at the current stage, very attractive to ordinary players.

High‑quality crossbow bolts can attack monsters at range, leather armor provides basic protection, and the energy‑storage device and toolbox improve convenience.

As for only charging 99 Game Coin...

Cheng Shuili had no comment on the price; being one Game Coin cheaper than her own outsourcing, what of it? Everyone's schematics differ, where else would others go to process them, and where would they go?

Cheng Shuili began analyzing one by one what she needed to have processed, and the first were Haohao's items.

The high‑quality crossbow bolt schematic is a ranged weapon, which Cheng Shuili indeed lacks.

Moreover, ranged weapons are indeed useful against those wooden‑stake monsters at night, essentially hard currency.

However, even though it's prefixed as high‑quality, its power is likely far below her Night Hunt, being more functional; Cheng Shuili definitely intends to craft one.

She skipped the energy‑storage schematic outright; for most people without solar panels or generators, it's just a consolation.

But for her, who has solar panels and many batteries, it's of little use.

Finally, the reinforced vehicle hull schematic, with its vague "slight improvement" description.

The durability boost is probably very limited, maybe just a bit stronger than ordinary rain‑proof cloth?

It might help against acid rain or minor collisions, but against tougher monsters or accidents, it'll still break. Cost‑performance is doubtful.

Moreover, Cheng Shuili's vehicle durability is infinite, so she cleanly abandoned that schematic.

Next came Ba Tie Lu Fei's list.

High‑quality leather armor set schematic?

This item indeed caught Cheng Shuili's eye.

She originally thought this damned place only had bullet‑proof vests as protective gear, not expecting leather armor.

So does it also have plate armor and heavy iron armor?

Cheng Shuili shook her head and examined Ba Tie Lu Fei's description of this item.

Lightweight protection?

That is, it might be useful against ordinary beasts' claws or melee clashes between players.

But against monsters, especially those with special attacks, the effectiveness of this leather layer is questionable. Moreover, being a set, the required materials are likely many, and sourcing leather is also an issue.

Cheng Shuili shook her head, having decided not to process this, when 001 suddenly reported finding several hundred disputes regarding this schematic.

Several hundred?!

That number... Cheng Shuili realized that either Ba Tie Lu Fei's description of this item is flawed, or this guy is scamming with the schematic.

Cheng Shuili immediately asked 001 to summarize the general messages and report the results to her.

001 acted quickly, promptly summarizing what Cheng Shuili wanted to know.

"Lao Da... those players say this leather armor can't be used by oneself."
