It was that detestable Cheng Shuili who used the designated player duel card! And she hadn't even told her!
That hateful woman!
Su Rui was so angry she could barely breathe. She crossed her arms, sat heavily on the driver's seat, and lost all interest in playing the companion.
Much later, when Su Rui learned that this trip was Cheng Shuili’s way of recruiting servants, she felt truly regretful. She could have saved two poor, misguided girls...
Cheng Shuili turned back and was surprised to see Su Rui hadn't followed, but it didn't matter; she could handle it herself.
A boss is just like that—capable of completing anything alone.
She stood before the pickup truck and knocked on the door very politely.
Before long, the door opened from the inside.
A girl with red-rimmed eyes stood behind the door, cautiously poking her head out.
The way she looked...
Cheng Shuili inexplicably thought of Liang Shanbo.
She paused for a moment and asked, "Cloud's Nemesis?"
The other party froze for a while. Once she realized who was outside, her eyes widened instantly. She pointed at Cheng Shuili and stammered, "You... you are Angry Crow Takes Flight?!!"
Cheng Shuili nodded.
Was there anything surprising about that?
The person involved usually doesn't know what's circulating outside, and Cheng Shuili was no exception.
Cloud's Nemesis silently opened the door, welcoming the Crow inside, though her expression remained exceptionally solemn.
Who on earth said the Crow was a 189-centimeter-tall tough guy with eight-pack abs, long legs, bulging muscles, and an appearance that was both imposing and refined?
Rumor-mongers should be held legally responsible!!
But now was clearly not the time to dwell on that.
After entering, Cheng Shuili realized there was someone else here too—another woman, also with red, puffy eyes.
Why were there two people?
Cheng Shuili recalled carefully; she hadn't seen another vehicle when she arrived.
Where did this person pop out from?
"Boss! This is my partner! Mr. Dumpling, Zhou Zhuxing by name!"
Cloud's Nemesis trotted over, pulling at her stiff face, and slapped Zhou Zhuxing on the shoulder.
The latter seemed a bit helpless. She smiled bitterly, shook her head, reached out to Cheng Shuili, and introduced herself solemnly: "Zhou Zhuxing. Hello, Boss."
Cheng Shuili smiled and nodded, shaking that hand while looking at Cloud's Nemesis.
The latter had no self-awareness about introducing herself, so Zhou Zhuxing spoke up: "Her name is Yu Bing."
Cheng Shuili introduced herself in turn.
With introductions out of the way, Cheng Shuili wasted no time and immediately took out two territory servant cards.
She didn't ask if they wanted to change their minds again. Having come this far, for Cheng Shuili, the matter was already set in stone.
If the other party were to back out now...
Well, that would be unfortunate.
Cheng Shuili would show them exactly why she was number one on the leaderboard.
Cheng Shuili selected her targets and chose to use them.
Both cards took effect simultaneously, and the system suddenly popped up a flurry of notifications.
【You have sent a selection to player Mr. Dumpling (Zhou Zhuxing)! Please wait for the other party to agree to become your servant!】
【You have sent a selection to player Cloud's Nemesis (Yu Bing)! Please wait for the other party to agree to become your servant!】
【Once the targeted player agrees, all supplies owned by that player will become your supplies! Simultaneously, the player will become your servant!】
【If the targeted player refuses, the used territory servant card will not be returned!】
Cheng Shuili read through them one by one. Finding no unusual messages, she simply sat on the only sofa in the compartment, crossed her legs, and watched the two hesitant people before her, smiling as she said, "Make your choice."
That look...
It hardly looked like she was giving them a choice at all.
Zhou Zhuxing complained in her heart, but her finger honestly pressed "Agree."
They had lost the ability to choose back at midnight.
Yu Bing just found it novel. The pop-up windows in front of them were different from Cheng Shuili’s; they explicitly stated all the terms and conditions for becoming a servant, and everything was explained in advance—one could say it was very user-friendly.
She pointed to one of the lines for Zhou Zhuxing to see: "This says we are servants belonging to the territory, and from now on we can only stay in the Crow's territory. I wonder if her territory is big..."
Cheng Shuili, who was sitting right beside them: "......"
Were they saying this right in front of the person herself?
How brave.
"It's not exactly huge, but it's definitely big enough for the two of you to live in."
Cheng Shuili answered the question with a smile.
Yu Bing blinked, taking a long moment to realize that sentence had been directed at her.
She rubbed the back of her head, feeling embarrassed in hindsight. Noticing that the person beside her had already clicked agree, she followed suit and pressed it as well.
Cheng Shuili subsequently received a notification:
【Your territory has added two new servants!】
She stood up with satisfaction. Just as she was about to shake hands and say "happy to cooperate," the two of them vanished right before her eyes.
Cheng Shuili paused, immediately realizing they must have entered her territory.
She wasn't in a hurry to see them; instead, she looked around the vehicle. She had just received a notification that everything in this car was hers now.
It seemed there were belongings for two people in this car, and yet...
If there were two people, why was there only one vehicle?
Cheng Shuili vaguely realized something. This was probably the reason they had suddenly changed their minds.
Cheng Shuili moved everything directly into her territory. Aside from items related to farming, there were only their daily necessities.
Cheng Shuili had no interest in these things.
After handling this, she clapped her hands and returned to her own vehicle.
Passing the front of the truck, she smiled and waved at Su Rui.
Su Rui didn't respond, but Cheng Shuili couldn't care less.
She directly ended the highway merge, told Su Rui to keep driving, and entered her territory.
The current consultant was very observant. Seeing Cheng Shuili's figure, she hurried over and greeted her enthusiastically: "Master! You've arrived!"
Cheng Shuili waved her hand, still not quite used to the title. She corrected her: "Just call me Boss."
"Then I'll call you Boss from now on, Master!"
Cheng Shuili: "......"
She pursed her lips and could only skip the issue, asking, "Where are those two people?"
The consultant looked puzzled: "What people?"
She didn't know?
That shouldn't be right.
Cheng Shuili paused. Hadn't they entered the territory?
They must have entered.
In the underground storage room?
Cheng Shuili frowned, and her figure vanished instantly.
The consultant blinked, hesitating whether to leave, when she saw the master return with two people.
One of them was even draped over the other's shoulder, saying: "Where is the villa? This is clearly a basement!"
Cheng Shuili seemed somewhat embarrassed. She stood to the side, coughed lightly, and said: "This is it. I got the wrong place just now."
