Chapter 74: Dreaming?

That performance thing…

Hu Lailei's eyes grew brighter the more they thought; humans also have an old proverb! It's called "Reluctant to part with the child, can't catch the wolf!"

Today, Hu Lailei will give a fruit, firmly locking in this human's future expenses!

Hu Lailei scanned with big eyes, patrolled the various fruits; giving an orange is too stingy, an apple has good meaning but is still small, a durian smells foul, really unsuitable as a gift.

After deliberating, Hu Lailei finally picked up a large watermelon.

Cheng Shuili was a bit confused—she wanted an orange? What is this fox beastman doing holding a watermelon? Trying to force a sale?

She thought Hu Lailei hadn't heard clearly and repeated, "I said orange."

"Got it!" Hu Lailei answered eagerly, then placed the watermelon on a small cart. She patted her chest proudly, "I'll pay for this watermelon and give it to you!"

That good?

Cheng Shuili instantly saw that the fox had ulterior motives; after all, every gift in this world is already secretly priced.

"You say it; if it's not a big deal for me, I'll certainly agree."

Hu Lailei's eyes were almost glowing; she moved next to Cheng Shuili, affectionately grabbed the human's hand, and swayed it a couple of times like a petulant child.

"It's just a small request: when you shop later, could you tell the cashier to note my name?"

Cheng Shuili still wondered what it was; as Hu Lailei said, it truly is a small request, but it should help Hu Lailei a lot.

This fox beastman, after all, is also a merchant, and a fox—should have the deceitful BUFF maxed out.

Unexpectedly, it's quite sincere.

Winning hearts uses the simplest method.

Cheng Shuili truly fell for it; she examined carefully—the watermelon weighed about 20 jin, priced at a full 300 Game Coin!

Cheng Shuili thought, she was indeed craving watermelon.

"Alright."

She nodded and directly accepted Hu Lailei's request.

Hu Lailei smiled modestly yet brightly; it was clear she was genuinely happy.

"Anything else you need?"

Cheng Shuili shook her head, indicating she was about to leave.

A few servers standing nearby immediately pushed the small cart, escorting the big patron's goods.

Cheng Shuili followed the cart out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Trade Hall; the scar‑faced figure lying on the ground had vanished, and the other humans in the Jiao Yi Zhan had all left.

Although she wasn't afraid of these people causing trouble, Cheng Shuili truly didn't want to encounter any.

A few beastmen servers were diligent; after pushing the cart to Cheng Shuili's shopping cart spot, they asked where to place the rice and then lifted the rice in.

Cheng Shuili nodded, watching the beastmen and the Jiao Yi Zhan disappear before her eyes.

This time she didn't rush to set off, but first organized the items she had bought.

First give Wan Yi a bag of rice, then open a private chat and explain it to her.

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Bought five bags, one is 20 kg; when you finish it, tell me, I still have four bags.

Wan Yi: (Nods. JPG)

She fully understood why Wu Ya gave her only one bag; after all, Wu Ya spent Game Coin to buy it, and if she were Wu Ya, she wouldn't feel comfortable handing everything over to someone else.

But Cheng Shuili wasn't saying she didn't trust her.

Cheng Shuili was just worried—if something happened to Wan Yi, the rice would be gone, and the cook too.

That would truly be losing both a wife and troops.

Only the watermelon, to eat at night, the four of them will eat together.

If Wan Yi hadn't said the rice was gone, she wouldn't have used the Jiao Yi Zhan teleport card today. If Liang Shan Bo hadn't said he wanted fruit, she wouldn't have received the watermelon from Hu Lailei.

Thinking that way, missing anyone would be unacceptable.

The little group of four was still lively; Xinxue and Liang Shan Bo were chatting.

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: Really?

Xin Xue Chuji: Not too sure; that person said they met at the Jiao Yi Zhan, ID and real name unknown, described a girl with a rifle slung around her neck, quite strange.

Hmm?

Not right.

Cheng Shuili: "???"

Isn't that describing her?

Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji: Please elaborate.

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai: Ah, Lao Da is back! Right, Lao Da also went to the Jiao Yi Zhan, also met this person?

Xin Xue Chuji: The description was pretty detailed, mentioning a weapon like a gun; I screenshot it then! (Screenshot)(Screenshot)

Cheng Shuili finally realized Xinxue's talent beyond flipping—this person is top‑tier at gathering information!

She opened those two screenshots.

Ben Ben: Who gets it, folks? Almost died at the Jiao Yi Zhan.

Shi Tou: The Jiao Yi Zhan doesn't even allow weapons! You can't die! Stop seeking attention.

Ben Ben: Really, really! Hold on, don't scold yet, if you don't listen to me you'll regret it!

Ben Ben: The following content is all from my own eyes!

Ben Ben: The Jiao Yi Zhan doesn't allow weapons, everyone knows that, right? But what if the weapon was purchased inside the Jiao Yi Zhan? I saw it with my own eyes! You all know the beastmen inside the Jiao Yi Zhan, right? There was a mouse‑head beastman who called out to that player, then—no idea what they talked about—a huge crowd of mouse‑head beastmen suddenly surged out, the mouse‑head beastmen pulled out a gun! And bullets! They gave them all to that girl!

Xing Fa: Aren't you dreaming up there? You should compensate me for the time I spent reading this.

Xie Xu Feng Shuang: I think it's hilarious, a huge group suddenly swarmed out, it's not fake, not fake I eat!

Ben Ben: I saw it with my own eyes, damn! I thought I'd approach that player, figured she must be a big shot! But she ignored everyone, went straight to a stall to buy something! Then a scar‑faced bald man behind seemed unable to hold back, stepped up and grabbed the girl's shoulder! Guess what happened!

【Bu'an】: What the hell, you still want us to guess? If you've got something to say, say it fast; if you've got a fart, let it out fast!

【Ben Ben】: Damn, you'll never believe it— that girl grabbed the scarred bald man's wrist and broke his bone on the spot! Then she kicked him and made him vomit; he lay on the ground and didn't recover for a while!

【Qiufeng】: We… can make up stories, but can we make them a bit more realistic?

【Ben Ben】: This is true! That girl had a rifle slung over her neck and wore a protective goggle. I was so nervous I can't recall the color of her clothes. I only remember her eyes—no kidding, they were really intimidating!

The screenshot ends here.

Cheng Shuili obviously knows the description refers to herself, but no one on the regional channel believes it.

As for why he didn't hear what the Rat King and she were talking about, Cheng Shuili guesses that the beastmen must have a unique sound‑reception system.

Now, when you open the regional channel, you can still see an occasional one or two lines popping up, mocking Ben Ben.
