Chapter 95 Various Discussions
A group of people sat casually on an oilcloth, some engaging in heated discussions, others listening silently.
The conversation gradually shifted from the merged servers to hunting techniques, the next natural disaster of extreme cold, and supplies...
Seeing that the discussion on the previous topic had come to an end, Li Sijing couldn't help but raise a question that had been puzzling her for a long time.
"You've all seen the vending machines on the second floor, right? Has anyone used them to exchange for supplies? What are your thoughts on using basic materials as currency?"
"You mean there's a trap? I have the same feeling." Wu Aiguo nodded and expressed his feelings.
“Yes, it feels like this is the same tactic as in competitions where you exchange points for bottled water and bread,” Li Sijing said, expressing her opinion.
"That's what I thought at first too, but the natural disaster event is over and we haven't found anything!" Xu Yongkang, who is ranked second on the combat power list, said.
“Because of my worries, I didn’t exchange anything before. I was planning to exchange it after the natural disaster ended, but then Boss Wu called me here,” Guan Yuansheng said.
Lü Hehua chimed in, "Me too. I plan to go up to the second floor again before dark to exchange some food and daily necessities."
Hearing that so many people shared this view, Wu Aiguo frowned and expressed his own opinion.
"Although the natural disaster is over, I still have some concerns. I think it's best to keep basic materials in hand unless absolutely necessary."
Finally, someone shared her opinion, and Li Sijing quickly nodded: "That's what I think too."
"But I've reached a point where I have to switch. In order to reach the destination, I've already exchanged all the usable supplies in my vehicle."
Wang Tingting shook her head and spoke of the hardships they all faced.
“You top-tier bigwigs never lack supplies, so you probably don’t know the situation we’re facing!” a woman with an unfamiliar face said meaningfully.
This woman climbed into the popularity rankings through short videos and wasn't very familiar with the others.
Hearing her words, several people frowned, but they didn't say anything out of respect for Wu Aiguo.
Wu Aiguo's face turned somewhat ugly for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, though his voice became rather cold.
"That's something I hadn't considered. Whether to exchange or not depends on my own situation!"
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, no longer as lively as before.
Just when everyone was feeling a bit awkward, the coquettish Lü Hehua suddenly looked at Li Sijing and asked a question.
"Jingjing, actually, when we last met, I wanted to ask you how you upgraded your car. Could you tell me about it?"
Suddenly hearing someone call her "Jingjing" in an affectionate tone, Li Sijing couldn't help but shudder.
She quickly stopped her, saying, "No, I'm not used to this. Please call me by my name!"
Despite Lü Hehua's somewhat resentful gaze, Li Sijing remained unmoved.
Seeing the curious looks from the others, they all turned to look, clearly very interested in the question from earlier.
Since we've been asked in public, even if we avoid answering now, others will just speculate wildly. It's better to give them a reason.
"Car upgrade? What's wrong with that? I got a car upgrade card from the resource box."
Upon hearing her explanation, someone couldn't contain themselves and hurriedly asked, "Did you open a resource box? What level of resource box is it?"
“Well… uh, a mid-level resource box!” Li Sijing paused for a moment in the middle of her reply.
She had originally planned to say that it came from a high-level resource box, which would have been more convincing.
But when she got to the point of saying it, she changed her tune.
She suddenly remembered what Xingyao had said: this car upgrade card was part of a series of cards.
Judging by the timeline, she will be drawn again on the third day of the extreme cold disaster.
She said she got it from a high-level resource box this time, so what should we say next time we meet, when her car has been upgraded again?
She wasn't confident that she could get high-level resource boxes in every event.
If that's the case, it would be better to just say from the beginning that it was obtained from the intermediate resource box, which would be simpler and easier.
"Really? I've opened no fewer than 10 intermediate resource boxes, how come I haven't gotten any god-level supplies?" Guan Yuansheng's tone revealed his doubt.
"How can you compare your luck to others'?" Liu Yizhou, who had been silent all along, suddenly retorted.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yuansheng's face immediately turned furious, but after glancing at Liu Yizhou's face, he could only turn his head away in frustration.
"Boss Li's luck is truly enviable." A man who entered the rankings based on popularity revealed a hint of covetousness in his tone.
"That's called being incredibly lucky. Otherwise, how could someone be number one on the comfort list?" Le Wenwen rolled her eyes at the man and said.
Li Sijing had anticipated that some people would covet her, but some people actually said that she was incredibly lucky?
Li Sijing couldn't help but glance at Zhou Qinghuan, who had been silent beside her. "The real lucky one is right here!"
She really couldn't refuse this title, otherwise how would she explain it to others?
Why does she have so many supplies? Why is she ranked first on the comfort list? Should she say she has some kind of cheat code?
"No, it's just that when we first arrived, we hadn't figured out our situation yet, and before we knew it, we had squandered all the supplies."
"Now we only have some unusable supplies left, and I'm regretting it!" Li Sijing said with a regretful expression.
The regret on her face wasn't an act; it was genuine regret!
Seeing Li Sijing's expression, so sincere, many people began to believe her story.
The conversation gradually shifted from Li Sijing to Zhou Qinghuan, who was standing next to her.
Now that we've talked about the top-ranked comfort model, let's talk about the second-ranked one.
Zhou Qinghuan didn't seem to care at all that the topic had shifted to her and remained silent.
She remained silent when asked by others, leaving them feeling as if they were punching cotton.
Finally, Li Sijing spoke up to explain that she was introverted, and Wu Aiguo added a few more words, after which everyone moved on.
This exchange was entirely voluntary, and they couldn't force anyone to answer, could they? It's just that those who were humiliated didn't look too happy.
They then discussed other things, including Liu Yizhou.
He was very generous and shared his tips for killing wild animals, but even though he explained it in detail, not everyone could understand it.
Li Sijing only understood parts of what she heard; she suddenly understood some parts, but became even more confused about others.
While they were discussing, the people exchanging supplies from the second floor gradually came down.
Some people curiously approached, but they were all stopped by the guards outside, so no one disturbed them.
Before they knew it, they had been chatting from a little after five o'clock to six-thirty, for about an hour.
After all the topics that could be discussed had been covered, everyone gradually fell silent.
