Chapter 31

The morning sunlight streamed through the villa's blue windows, casting diamond-shaped dappled patterns on the living room floor, while the air was filled with the fresh, mountain-scented fragrance of grass and trees.

Su Jing sat at the solid wood table, her fingertips lightly tapping the "Product Management" interface on the system panel—as the "Confirm Listing" command was executed, four lines of product information with gold borders instantly refreshed on the "Number One Store Under Heaven" shelf homepage, and the system's electronic notification sound rang out clearly:

[The store notification has been pushed to the global channel, linked to the "Dungeon Stamina Supplies" tag]

The monitor screen on the corner of the table was lit up, showing two silver-gray robots patrolling around the solar panels on the roof.

The robotic arm unfolds into a thin cleaning brush, gently wiping away the morning dew and thin dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panels. The green indicator light of the "eyes" flashes softly in the sunlight, occasionally scanning the camera under the eaves and emitting a "beep" sound for linkage detection.

The white porcelain cup I used to make coffee yesterday has been washed clean and is placed upside down on a wooden tray. Next to it are three neatly folded military-style radiation protection suits, with light gray "500 Roentgens Protection" embroidered on the cuffs.

The EMP-proof silver metal box is placed on the outermost side, with half a data cable sticking out from the gap in the lid—inside is a fully charged laptop and 10 high-capacity power banks.

As soon as Su Jing closed the product management interface, the semi-transparent global channel interface automatically popped up.

Because of the "Dungeon Stamina Supplies" tag association, the system pushed the shop's listing information to all online participants. The next second, red, dark blue, gold, and...

The dark gray chat boxes surged in like a tide, almost covering the entire interface, even blocking most of the monitoring footage at the edge of the screen.

Zhao Yue, the dark gray-haired "Flying Swallow (China)", was the first to speak, accompanied by three "dumbfounded" emojis: "@Is the owner of the number one shop in the world 'I am the God of Wealth'?! I dug up 20 kilograms of sweet grass roots in the Giant dungeon. At the time, I only felt that moving stones was a little easier, and I thought it was just my imagination. I didn't expect it could really increase strength by 100%? This effect is too outrageous!"

Emily, the golden "Nightingale (EU)," followed closely behind, her statement tinged with obvious disbelief: "Giant flour can speed up wound healing?"

I got a cut from a giant mantis's claw in the dungeon, and it took three days for the scab to heal after using the included first-aid kit! If I'd known about this feature, I would have carried more straw even if it meant enduring the pain! 50 points for 100 grams isn't expensive, but does it really work 'twice as well'?

The red-clad "Hunter (USA)" still spoke with anger, but with a hint of less confidence than before: "Fake! All fake! The 1x boost is just a fabrication to cheat for points! 'I am the God of Wealth' can even cheat by taking out dungeon supplies, so making up a function is easy for him, right? Don't fall for it!"

No sooner had he sent his message than Ivan, the deep blue "Black Bear (Russian Bear Country)" immediately tagged the hunter, his tone filled with undisguised anger: "Don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen it! I was chased by a Tier 1 giant on the edge of the giant tribe, and my forehead was scraped by a stone axe, bleeding a lot. It was 'I am the God of Wealth' who gave me a small piece of giant wheat, which I chewed up and applied to the wound. The bleeding stopped in less than half an hour!"

At the time, I didn't know it was a 1x recovery, but it was definitely much faster than ordinary herbs! And the sweet root—I personally saw her lift a 10-kilogram stone slab with one hand, easier than I could lift 5 kilograms. Isn't that a significant increase in strength?

Ivan's comment was like a pebble thrown into boiling water, instantly causing an uproar in the channel. The few low-ranked IDs who had initially echoed the hunter fell silent, while more people began spamming the chat with questions for details:

- Dark gray "Windwalker (China)": "Can it really last for 24 hours? If I eat it before the dungeon starts, will the effect still be there after I enter?"

- Golden "Maple Leaf (EU)": "I don't have many points, can I buy 100 grams of dried mushrooms to try it out first? If it works, I'll buy more in bulk later!"

- Red "Cowboy (USA)": "Although I don't want to admit it, 'Black Bear' has no reason to lie... I'm a little tempted, anyone want to join a group order? Wholesale orders start at 10 jin (5 catties) are too much!"

Chen Yang, the dark gray "Sharp Blade (China)," didn't participate in the argument. Instead, he directly sent a practical message to the number one shop in the world: "Shopkeeper, I've ordered 10 jin of sweet grass root, 5 jin of honey fruit, and 2 jin of giant wheat flour. I'll transfer the points to you now. Please ship the goods as soon as possible."

If the effects match the description, after the Cyber ​​raid ends, I'll order at least 50 kilograms of sweet grass roots—our team needs to increase their strength to deal with the mechanical monsters.

Su Jing looked at the discussion in the channel, typed a concise reply in the chat box, and sent it with the ID "World's Number One Store (China)": "1. All product functions are genuine, you can consult 'Black Bear (Russia)' for verification;

2. The effect lasts for 24 hours and works both inside and outside the instance; 3. Enjoy a 20% discount on bulk purchases (10 catties or more). Contact the shop owner via private message to place your order;

4. Sufficient stock available; shipments will cease one hour before the dungeon opens.

As soon as the reply was sent, the private message notification sound kept ringing. Chen Yang was the first to send a private message, directly transferring 1800 points (10 catties of sweet grass root 400 points + 5 catties of honey fruit 200 points + 2 catties of giant wheat flour 1200 points, 1800 points after 20% discount);

Zhao Yue ordered 5 jin of candied fruit and 3 jin of dried mushrooms, and transferred 880 points;

Emily ordered 4 jin of Giant Wheat Flour and 2 jin of Dried Mushrooms, and also asked, "Will the radiation in the Cyber ​​Dungeon affect the effectiveness of the supplies?" Su Jing replied, "The supplies have been treated with radiation protection, so their effectiveness will not be affected."

The hunter looked at the order messages in the channel, got angry and sent a message saying "You will all regret this!", and then left the channel.

The remaining participants were mostly discussing "how to pool their resources" and "which supplies are more suitable for the Cyber ​​Dungeon"—some thought that the "strength boost" of Sweet Grass Root was suitable for dismantling mechanical monsters, some preferred the "speed boost" of Honey Fruit to help dodge mechanical guards, and some even prioritized Giant Wheat Powder, fearing that it would be difficult to recover from injuries in the dungeon.

Su Jing spent 20 minutes processing all the private message orders and transferring the ordered supplies from the "Edible Plants Area" to the "Pending Shipment Area" in her space. The system's private shop has a built-in "cross-space teleportation" function. As long as the buyer confirms payment, the supplies will be automatically teleported from her space to the other party's temporary storage slot in the system (non-space participants can only store supplies used within the instance and cannot take them out of the instance, which is why Su Jing dares to sell).

She glanced at her points balance on the system panel: the original 302,000 points, plus the points from the order she had just received, had increased to 308,500 points, enough for her to redeem 2 advanced laser guns (15,000 points each) and 50 energy bullets (100 points each) in the system shop.

After processing the orders, Su Jing got up and walked to the monitor screen. The robot on the screen had completed the inspection of the solar panels and gasoline cans and was returning to the villa entrance to place a spare key into a hidden compartment by the door—this was Su Jing's "emergency plan." In case she didn't return in time after the dungeon ended, the robot could use the key to enter the villa and check the supplies.

A message popped up on the screen saying, "Villa security settings are normal, automatic patrol mode is enabled, and threat alerts have been synchronized to the system panel." She turned off the monitoring with peace of mind.

Su Jing began packing her equipment for the cyber dungeon: she put the radiation protection suit over her windbreaker, zipped it up, and fastened the protective mask at the collar.

The EMP-proof metal case is slung across the shoulder to ensure that the electronic devices inside are not damaged by EMP attacks in the instance.

The laser gun was tucked into his waistband. He checked the energy bullets and confirmed that he had 20 left.

High-energy foods (chocolate, small packages of Giant cereal) and medical supplies (iodine, gauze, antibiotics) are placed in the easily accessible layer of the space to ensure quick access after landing.

Just then, a system notification sounded, accompanied by a countdown to the dungeon's opening: [Cyber ​​World Dungeon Opening Countdown: 30 minutes! Participants, please prepare for teleportation. Landing location is random (floating city "New Los Angeles" area);]

Main quest for the dungeon: Obtain 10 Energy Cores (including Common/Advanced/Special Grade) within 72 hours; Dungeon risks: Mechanical Guardian (Danger Value 60), Rebel Robot (Danger Value 90);

Dungeon Rewards: The top 10 participants can choose between "Technological Equipment" or "New Ability".

Su Jing took a deep breath and took one last look at the villa's living room—the folding chairs were folded up, the table was wiped clean, the electric heater was turned off, and everything was as tidy as when she first arrived.

She walked to the door, gently closed the metal door, and focused her mind on the system panel, clicking "Confirm Entry to Instance".

A pale blue teleportation light instantly enveloped her body, her consciousness gradually fading. In her last moments, she seemed to hear a system notification: "Landing coordinates: 'New Los Angeles,' slum alleyway. Please be aware of mechanical guards..."
