【Fruit Ramen】: Selling orange potted plants! Everyone should know by now, this stuff is packed with vitamin C and is the top choice for disease prevention! As long as the price is right! I’m buying everything, feel free to ask about prices!
【Cloud's Nemesis】: Watermelon seedlings, with pot and soil, very healthy. I decided to sell them because I don't know how to raise them. Any big shots interested? Private message me directly.
Both of these people were still alive.
Cheng Shuili messaged them one by one.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Is the orange potted plant still available?
【Fruit Ramen】: !!!! Crow! Crow actually private messaged me!
Almost everyone Cheng Shuili private messaged had this reaction. To be honest, Cheng Shuili was already getting used to it.
【Fruit Ramen】: Big shot, you’re a bit late.
Already traded away?
Cheng Shuili glanced at the time the message was sent—a week ago. It was normal for it to have been traded away.
【Fruit Ramen】: If you had come earlier, boohoo! You don't know how hard this thing is to raise! It’s like an ancestor! As soon as I realized it was difficult, I immediately shouted in the regional channel that I wanted to sell it, but I didn't expect it to not even last a day! I hadn't even found a buyer before it withered!
Oh, so it died.
Well... that wasn't exactly surprising.
Cheng Shuili blinked. This person was unexpectedly honest.
Though, they probably already threw the pot away, otherwise they might have tried to trick her with it...
Cheng Shuili shook her head and closed the chat box.
She guessed correctly. On the other side, Fruit Ramen was regretting it so much he slapped himself! After an orange potted plant dies, it’s still an orange potted plant; at least in terms of the system, only the description changes—the name is impossible to distinguish!
He hadn't thought of that at the time, but now that Crow asked, he started to regret it.
That could have been the top-ranked player! How many people could he have fed with something leaked from her hands?
Fruit Ramen patted his face again but kept the private chat with Angry Crow Takes Flight open.
The notification sound for someone you’ve talked to is different, so if Fruit Ramen found something good again, he could immediately find Crow to trade.
On the other side, Cheng Shuili opened the chat with 【Cloud's Nemesis】 and sent the same inquiry.
【Cloud's Nemesis】: The item is still here, but it's not in good condition. I can give it to you cheaper.
Cheng Shuili stared at this sentence for a while. After confirming the other party hadn't sent any exclamation marks, she couldn't help but remark, "There are still calm people out there."
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I understand the plant's condition. What do you want?
【Cloud's Nemesis】: Tell me what kind of supplies you have first, so I can make a request.
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow. She should list what supplies she has?
No, what supplies did she not have?
Maintaining her self-confidence, Cheng Shuili replied with four words.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Name your price.
Cloud's Nemesis adjusted her glasses, which had some scratches on them, and frowned, thinking, This person has such a big ego? Name my price? Can she even provide it if I really ask for it?
Her brow furrowed deeper, and she began to suspect whether the other party was genuinely here to trade.
After she posted the message yesterday, several people claimed they wanted to trade, but in reality, they were just there to beg, trying to scam the plant, or aggressively lowballing—there was no sincerity at all.
Cloud's Nemesis thought for a moment and was about to block this person when she suddenly saw the person's ID.
Angry Crow Takes Flight?
Angry Crow Takes Flight?!
Isn't that the number one on the leaderboard?
Cloud's Nemesis widened her eyes and read those five characters again, confirming she hadn't misread it, and that there were no extra characters before or after. She finally realized this person was the top-ranked player!
The number one!
The number one actually came to me to trade!
Cloud's Nemesis's fingers trembled violently, nearly pressing the virtual keyboard into the ground.
Her glasses slid to the tip of her nose, but she was completely oblivious, just staring fixedly at the line of text on the screen.
"Angry Crow Takes Flight... is it really that top-ranked player?!"
Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaving violently. Her fingertips hovered above the keyboard for a full ten seconds, but she couldn't type a single word.
Countless thoughts flashed through Cloud's Nemesis's mind: Why would the top-ranked player look for me? Am I dreaming? Didn't I just post a watermelon seedling? Is that worthy of trading with the top-ranked player?
"Calm down... calm down..."
She pinched her thigh hard, the pain helping her regain some composure.
But when she looked at that ID again, her heart still thumped uncontrollably, as if it were about to burst through her chest.
"Oh my god... I almost blocked the top-ranked player..."
This thought made her shiver with fear, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She scrambled to adjust her glasses and began typing with trembling fingers, deleting and changing, deleting and changing.
The only thing she finally sent was:
【Cloud's Nemesis】: I-I'm sorry! I didn't notice it was you just now! The watermelon seedling is still here! What price do you think is appropriate?
After sending this, she immediately covered her face in annoyance.
That tone was too humble!
It was completely unlike her usual style.
But that was the number one! The recognized strongest player on the entire server! Someone countless people couldn't find a way to approach even if they tried!
She stared fixedly at the screen, afraid of missing any reply. At the same time, she calculated frantically: If the top-ranked player is willing to trade with high-level supplies, should she take the initiative to lower the price further?
Or... could she take this opportunity to ask for some survival tips?
The thought made her fingertips tingle with excitement.
On the other side, Cheng Shuili was full of question marks. How did this happen...
Did they not realize it was her before?
She shook her head and replied silently, "No need to be so polite."
Cloud's Nemesis was even more excited. Why is she so approachable? The big shot seen in the regional channel before wasn't like this!
Crow, the big shot of the regional channel...
Uh?
It seems she is either scolding someone or on her way to scold someone.
Cloud's Nemesis instantly became vigilant. Is this politeness just superficial? Is the other party actually the type to just take things by force?
If she really wanted to rob me...
Boohoo.
It seems she really can't beat the other party!
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Name your price. If I think it's reasonable, we'll trade.
This sentence was no different from a sedative to Cloud's Nemesis. She instantly perked up, feeling more confident.
If someone else had said this, Cloud's Nemesis would only think they were being pretentious, but coming from the top-ranked player, Angry Crow Takes Flight...
Ah, why is she so cool.
She hesitated for a while and proposed the thing she needed most.
【Cloud's Nemesis】: Can I have some food? Not food like compressed biscuits, but the kind that is actually edible, proper meals. One meal is fine, but it needs to be for two people.
