Chapter 332: Never Forget the Original Intention

Weakness stage? Ordinary human level?

That means anyone who goes to kill Wu Ya must endure Wu Ya's normal attribute attacks...

Delicate Little Cream Puff wore a serious expression, pondering what else should be prepared.

To endure the attacks, it seems another special defensive equipment must be purchased!

They were thinking, when a private message suddenly gave a notification sound.

【Iced Americano No Sugar】: Still buying?

Delicate Little Cream Puff's first reaction was bewildered, then they remembered the message they had posted in the regional channel; this person must have seen the message and came.

Just in time!

Delicate Little Cream Puff immediately replied: "Look at the items first?"

"Looks pretty cautious," Iced Americano No Sugar snarked, "Aren't they also a fool?"

Iced Americano No Sugar actually hasn't interacted closely with this person yet, but based on what she knows now, she also thinks this person is a fool.

Who could be clever enough to oppose Wuya Lao Da?

Iced Americano No Sugar shook their head, gave a mischievous grin and brushed off Delicate Little Cream Puff.

Cheng Shuili soon received two good news: Black Market Old Cat and Iced Americano No Sugar had both sold the items.

Both of them, feeling responsible, simply sent the exchanged items over to Cheng Shuili.

Black Market Old Cat's side was pure fabricated info, with no cost at all, and the items were split half‑and‑half.

Meanwhile, Iced Americano No Sugar's side incurred cost from Xinxue, so Cheng Shuili simply returned all the items, asking Iced Americano No Sugar to discuss division with Xinxue.

Besides that, Black Market Old Cat sent another message.

【Black Market Old Cat】: Boss... lately the faction's commotion has been quite a lot, do you think... can I also join Black Feather?

Oh right, he is still an external member.

Cheng Shuili began to weigh the pros and cons of his joining Black Feather.

Although Black Feather's members can be kept secret, there is no airtight wall in the world; there are cards that can infiltrate faction channels, and perhaps there are cards that reveal faction membership.

If it weren't for Black Market Old Cat's clean background, this wouldn't have happened today.

Xinxue and he are both merchants, but their natures are definitely different.

Xinxue joining the faction can make Black Feather's members feel the warmth of one's own people, whereas Black Market Old Cat? His contribution to Black Feather is certainly not that great.

To put it more bluntly, Black Feather's members don't need to buy intel from him, because Cheng Shuili is in Black Feather!

Moreover, as an external member, he can exert unexpected influence.

Cheng Shuili, upon thinking this, made a decision.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: No need, just stay outside and idle; your benefits and everything are the same as Black Feather members, no need to worry.

With Wu Ya's assurance, Black Market Old Cat felt much more at ease and immediately replied: "Alright! I'll obey the Boss!"

After ending the chat, Cheng Shuili closed the private chat window.

She stood by the window and looked outside.

Monsters layered upon layer surrounded the shield, drooling for the people inside the vehicle.

Cheng Shuili stared at a monster that kept snarling at her, gave a provocative grin, then looked up at the shield.

When she looked, it turned out a new message had indeed appeared on the shield.

【Level‑5 Shield】

【Only Level‑5 vehicles can generate it, intercepting all monsters of Level‑5 and below, including Level‑5 monsters!】

【Currently it is the last day of the Extreme Heat Disaster, the highest monster level now is Level‑2, and Level‑3 monsters will appear tomorrow!】

Oh?

They're raising the monster difficulty again?

Cheng Shuili didn't mind this; she cared more about... the vehicle should be upgradable now, right? She'd been so busy lately she couldn't recall how many Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments she'd accumulated.

She opened her panel and found Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments among the supplies.

The next moment, Cheng Shuili's eyes widened suddenly.

On her personal page, it boldly read: Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments x!

Ninety‑nine thousand nine hundred ninety‑nine of them?!!

BUG! The great BUG has resurfaced!

Cheng Shuili got excited and rummaged through the vehicle's storage for these items.

She certainly couldn't use that many by herself.

Since monster strength is about to increase, selling these fragments is fine, or using them to upgrade Black Feather members' vehicles is fine! Anyway they can't just sit in the vehicle's storage gathering dust!

Besides, such BUGs are surely unstable; they might disappear soon. Cheng Shuili is lucky to have caught it now—if she doesn't use it now, it'd be a massive waste!

Full of anticipation, Cheng Shuili searched around but didn't see a single Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragment.

She frowned, then remembered she always stored such things inside the Abyssal Ring.

"Ring... ring... spit out my Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments!"

Cheng Shuili, while searching, threatened the Abyssal Ring; if she used Insight now, she would definitely see the Abyssal Ring's snark.

But things didn't develop as Cheng Shuili imagined; the Abyssal Ring also contained no Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragment.

What does that mean?

Cheng Shuili's joy faded, and she already felt a bit of headache.

That damned BUG might have just displayed a number on the panel that doesn't match the actual quantity, causing the physical items in Cheng Shuili's hands to vanish, right?

Just imagining that possibility made Cheng Shuili quite angry.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to stay calm, and with a stern face, searched every possible place where the items could be.

No! Not a single one!

Cheng Shuili: "(*?????)"

She finally experienced today what is called sorrow flowing upstream like a river, and what is called blood‑soaked investment returning nothing.

Damn BUG!

Cheng Shuili kept cursing, then suddenly thought the number on the panel might not be completely useless.

Although previously, when upgrading, she always placed Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments together to synthesize upgrade material, but...

It should be possible to synthesize on the panel as well, right?

With a try‑it‑out attitude, Cheng Shuili pulled up the vehicle's upgrade panel.

The panel didn't pop up a "whether to synthesize" prompt; it simply assumed Cheng Shuili already possessed Vehicle Upgrade Materials and directly displayed the upgrade options!

Great!

Cheng Shuili jumped up immediately; it wasn't too bad, at least she recovered the blood of 600 Vehicle Upgrade Material Fragments.

And... if the BUG remains after a successful upgrade, she can keep freeloading!

Cheng Shuili's breathing quickened a bit, her gaze fell on the two options on the panel.

Electric shopping cart level‑5 to level‑6 upgrade plan:

1. Vehicle Upgrade Material x1, iron block x199, iron nail x199, alloy material x200, fiber board x200, electric wire x200, energy stone x180.

2. Vehicle Upgrade Material x1, Vehicle Upgrade Core x1.

Although this vehicle looks like an off‑road car from the outside and a sedan from the inside, the panel still labels it an electric shopping cart—perhaps a reminder not to forget the original intention?
