Chapter 15: Trading Mileage Cards

Su Ya first sought out "Everyday Good Taste."

This person was a master of culinary arts, and unless something unforeseen occurred, Su Ya did not want him to meet an unfortunate end.

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Everyday, Everyday~ Are you there?]
[Everyday Good Taste: I am here. Need something?]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: I opened a lot of fresh produce from my boxes. I'd like to sell them to you.]
[Everyday Good Taste: Good. Please list them for me.]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Fresh tomato x1, fresh cucumber x1, crisp rape greens x1, fresh potato x1, fresh lettuce x1, fresh broccoli x1, fresh corn x1, fresh bok choy x1, fresh beef x1, fresh pork x1, fresh chicken x1, fresh duck meat x1.]
[Everyday Good Taste: I just set a standard here. The purchase price for vegetables is five basic materials per unit, and fifteen basic materials per unit for meat. Other special items will be calculated separately. Is that acceptable to you?]

Su Ya naturally agreed. She preferred transparent pricing for both buying and selling; whenever others asked her to set the price, she struggled to gauge the appropriate value.

[Everyday Good Taste: Eight units of vegetables, four units of meat. That comes to a total of one hundred basic materials.]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Sounds good!]

"Everyday Good Taste" quickly sent over a trade request.

[“Iron bars x20, electrical wire x20, wood x20, plastic x20, glass x10, cotton x10” for “fresh tomato x1, fresh cucumber x1, crisp rape greens x1, fresh potato x1, fresh lettuce x1, fresh broccoli x1, fresh corn x1, fresh bok choy x1, fresh beef x1, fresh pork x1, fresh chicken x1, fresh duck meat x1”]

After Su Ya clicked "Confirm Trade," the one hundred basic materials automatically appeared in her inventory.

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Oh, by the way! Almost everything I opened from my boxes today was food. There might be a famine in the coming days. Remember to save some food for yourself.]
[Everyday Good Taste: I understand. Thank you.]

With their conversation concluded, Su Ya switched her screen to the community lounge. She intended to try her luck and see if she could acquire a few mileage cards.

[666 Cold Is No Good: @DoingGoodDaily, thanks for the medicine, boss. I’m already feeling better. Wuuu, boss, I love you, I want to bear your children!]
[Hard Work Unrewarded: The boss truly lives up to his name.]
[Apology or Household Registration: Who knows where he gets those medicines? I wouldn't dare eat them if I were you.]
[Make Him Rave Reviews: Acting like he’s so noble, but in the end, he still has a bunch of trade listings on his homepage. Some people shouldn't let themselves be sold while still counting the money for the seller.]
[Falling for Muscle Men Is My Destiny: You two really can’t stand to see someone else doing well, can you? Have you no shame?]
[Suffering Is a Blessing: Everyone, don't argue, don't argue. Let me say something fair. @DoingGoodDaily has so many special medicines, it’s only right to share them with everyone. @ApologyOrHouseholdRegistration @MakeHimRaveReviews, your concerns aren't entirely baseless either. Everyone take a step back, stop arguing.]
[Speedy Life: Brain-dead.]
[A Game That Makes You Younger: @SpeedyLife, every time I enter the lounge, I see you insulting people. Do you know what respect means? Those who don't respect others don't deserve respect themselves!]
[Speedy Life: You’re even more brain-dead.]
[...]
[Seven or Eight: I’m so unlucky today! I opened five or six boxes and they were all rats. Didn't get a single supply. I'm about to starve to death~]
[White Cloud Cocoa: Eww, don't spread your bad luck to me. I don't want to be that unlucky.]
[Colorful Sheep: I opened a lot of rats too. But I’m in a better situation; two boxes had supplies. They were all food.]
[Southern Wind Song: Everything I opened was food too. I was almost starving to death, but now I’m rich.]
[Gourd Brother: A box full of fresh ingredients, anyone want to buy?]
[God Fears Me, Mr. Bai: Seeking partner! Seeking partner! Seeking partner!]
[DoingGoodDaily: A massive appearance of a certain event or item may signal a corresponding disaster. I hope everyone stays vigilant.]
[Apology or Household Registration: The scammer is back.]
[DoingGoodDaily: @ApologyOrHouseholdRegistration, just because I don't argue with you doesn't mean I don't have an opinion about you. If you keep nagging, you'll be the first person I deal with once I find a tracking card.]
[God’s Ticket Also Once Inflated: Count me in!]
[Apology or Household Registration: Oh, I’m so scared~]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Buying mileage cards, name your price. Reasonable offers will be considered.]

Not long after Su Ya sent her message, she received three private chats. The first to reach out was "Meeting Rats and Going Mad."

[Meeting Rats and Going Mad: Heroine, I have a mileage card, 20 kilometers. I’ll just give it to you.]
[Meeting Rats and Going Mad: Thank you for the special medicine you gave me. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring.]
[Player “Meeting Rats and Going Mad” has sent you a small gift~]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Thank you.]

Leaving that chat window, Su Ya switched to the second one. It was an acquaintance, "DoingGoodDaily."

[DoingGoodDaily: Your special medicine means a great deal to me. I happened to open a mileage card. Consider it my repayment. However, I’ve reached my daily limit for sending gifts, so let’s trade for it.]
[DoingGoodDaily: If you are willing, we can be friends. My name is Yu Zhu. If you need any help in the future, just ask.]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Boss, I’ll take you up on that friendship. My name is Su Ya.]
[“10km Mileage Card x1, Iron Bar x1” for “Iron Bar x1”]

Su Ya was stunned when she saw the trade terms; Yu Zhu really didn't want to take advantage of her at all. After the trade was complete, Su Ya went to look for the third person. This was a nickname that felt somewhat unfamiliar to her—"Sleeping Forever in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan."

[Sleeping Forever in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan: Hello, are you buying mileage cards here?]
[Sleeping Forever in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan: I have a 5km one, not much.]
[Sleeping Forever in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan: Could you give me some food and a bottle of water?]

From the other person's words, it took Su Ya only two seconds to guess that they were lacking food. However, she wasn't close with this person, and she had no obligation to be charitable.

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God: Sure. I’ll initiate the trade.]
[“Compressed Biscuits x5, Mineral Water x1” for “5km Mileage Card”]

The other party quickly clicked "Confirm Trade," and the mileage card appeared in Su Ya's hand. No one else contacted her afterward. Su Ya did not hesitate to use all three mileage cards.

[Today’s Mileage: 145km (45 basic miles)]

Watching her mileage count climb higher and higher, Su Ya couldn't help but feel a swell of joy. Time flew by, and soon it was time for the roads to converge. On the road ahead of Su Ya, a red silhouette appeared.
