Cheng Xu : "Don't miss out! The auction is about to begin!"
Cheng Xu (Xiao Ji): "Hey~ you heard right, our shop will be providing all kinds of supplies! By the way, I wish everyone a great start in today's promotional event and hope you all win big!"
"..." Xi Xi had just taken a sip of the peach oolong tea when she choked and started coughing. This guy still talks in such an old-fashioned way; he must have watched a lot of TV dramas...
After finally catching her breath, Xi Xi swallowed the last bite of her sandwich, then picked up a tissue and gently wiped the remaining grease from the corners of her mouth with lingering relish. Next, she chopped up the leftover tomato slices from making the sandwich, placed them on a plate, and brought it to the little white duck.
Xi Xi then took out the remaining small piece of beef from the refrigerator, carefully cut it into chunks, and put it into the blender. As the machine started running, the beef gradually turned into a smooth paste.
Xi Xi added water while stirring until well mixed, then poured the minced meat into a porcelain bowl, and placed the bowl in a rice cooker to steam it. Soon, a rich aroma of meat filled the air, and the cat food-grade minced meat was ready.
While Aura ate, Xi Xi casually placed the light screen aside. She kept glancing at the screen as she worked on her cleaning tasks, genuinely curious about what Cheng Xu was up to.
Just then, Cheng Xu started shouting loudly in the public chat again: "Come and take a look! Fresh ingredients are up for auction!" This shout was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracting many players.
The word "ingredients," in particular, held an irresistible appeal for players who were diligently collecting resources and hoping to gain something from the event. In an instant, messages flooded the public chat like a tidal wave.
"Just politely ask about the prices. There's been a lot of food coming out of the treasure chests today, so prices can't be inflated!"
"Yes, yes, I noticed that too! The treasure chest ingredient drop rate is much higher than usual today!"
"So I'm not alone after all..."
"Wouldn't it be better if everyone just exchanged the supplies they needed? Why hold an auction?"
"I wish I could participate in the event every day! I can't believe I actually opened a whole bag of Yue Li Yue cookies from a treasure chest!!"
...
Xi Xi glanced casually at the chatter on the public screen, raising an eyebrow slightly. So the food acquisition rate was higher than usual today? She had only glanced at it casually before, but now she subconsciously turned to look at the central control screen. The screen was completely empty, except for the constantly moving coordinates of the car.
All she could do was wait patiently… Xi Xi thought to herself, taking out paper and pen to study painting again. She had another precious opportunity to paint today, and she couldn't afford to slack off.
She started by making a few simple sketches, then gradually became engrossed in them, focusing on the details of each stroke. Before long, her diary was filled with all sorts of drafts. Xi Xi took a sip of water and glanced at the treasure chests that were being used as storage boxes.
Through continuous exploration and practice, Xi Xi has gained a certain understanding of the treasure chest over the past few days.
Based on their material and appearance characteristics, they can be roughly divided into four different levels, with the amount of materials in each level steadily increasing.
The lowest level is the wooden beginner treasure chest, which is relatively common; above that is the stone intermediate treasure chest, which is more sturdy than the wooden one; then comes the gold advanced treasure chest, whose rarity is self-evident; and the highest level is the crystal super-grade treasure chest that she was fortunate enough to obtain in the Oasis Mirage instance.
As for whether there are even higher-level treasure chests, Xi Xi wasn't sure, but so far, this crystal-grade treasure chest was the rarest treasure chest she had obtained.
Xi Xi recalled her experiences from the previous night. It was known that, assuming the luck remained constant, the quality of resources obtained from locked treasure chests at night was higher than that from ordinary treasure chests obtained during the day. Following this logic, within Xi Xi's current understanding, the highest quality treasure chest should be the .
"Could I draw a treasure chest?" A sudden inspiration flashed through Xi Xi's mind, as if she were ignited by a burning impulse, and she couldn't help but look at the crystal treasure chest next to her.
Just as Xi Xi had just conceived this bold and novel idea, she inadvertently glanced at the comments on the public screen and felt a sense of unease arise. She couldn't help but frown again.
Cheng Xu : "The third item for auction is a pure pork ham sausage . Look, everyone, compared to the size of my hand, this sausage is huge! Starting bid is a bag of instant noodles!"
Liu Mianmian (Ping): "Oh my god, this is from Qingcheng, something we used to eat a lot when we were kids!"
Chen Zhou (Xiao Ji): "I'll offer a pack of braised beef noodles!"
Lu Yan (Xiao Ji): "I'll offer two packs of braised pork noodles!"
Rui Xiaomin (Ping): "@Wei Chenghao, this meat looks so substantial!"
Wei Chenghao (Ji): "I reckon it doesn't look like pure pork; it must contain starch, right?"
Cheng Xu : "Don't worry everyone, it's 100% pure pork , the item description is genuine!"
Wei Chenghao (Ji): "If there's no starch, there must be additives in it. Oh well, if you like it, then go ahead and film it."
Rui Xiaomin (Ping): "Brother Hao~ you know so much, unlike me who doesn't understand anything..."
Wei Chenghao (Ji): "@Cheng Xu, I'll contribute two packs of mushroom chicken noodle soup and one pack of seafood noodles!"
Liu Mianmian (flat): "I'll offer four packs of braised beef noodles!!"
Wei Chenghao (Auspicious): "Two packs of mushroom chicken soup noodles, plus three packs of seafood noodles."
Zhong Xuanxuan (Xiao Ji): "Five packs of instant noodles for one pork sausage? That's too expensive... That's five meals..."
Wei Chenghao (Auspicious): "I'm doing what I want, what's it to you?"
Rui Xiaomin (Ping): "Brother Hao~ You're so kind! Some people, it's one thing if they're incompetent, but do they think the whole world is incompetent?"
...
Wei Chenghao and Rui Xiaomin, those two scumbags, really ended up together?! Xi Xi almost vomited while watching their conversation, feeling a wave of nausea wash over her. Now Xi Xi was even more certain that Rui Xiaomin was the "Sister Ming" that the thugs in her past life had been talking about.
This world is too small. In both their past and present lives, regardless of whether they survived the apocalypse or not, these two scumbags still met. How can that not be considered fate? One is a ruthless, domineering father figure, and the other is a cunning and treacherous green tea woman. They are a match made in heaven. Xi Xi even wanted to sing a song for them.
Xi Xi chuckled and immediately opened her private messages to Cheng Xu, saying, "What flavor of instant noodles do you want? You can choose any of the five flavors. Give me this sausage."
In fact, Xi Xi didn't really want the pork sausage; she just wanted to disgust those two scumbags.
