Chapter 499: Chapter 499 Jiang, the Malicious Merchant is Online Again

Jiang Cheng: "...."

"And another thing," Jiang Yan stroked his chin and said, "You’re too fat. You should lose some weight to look better. How about this, stop following Shang Shaojing. Instead, follow me, young master, and I can take you running every morning to help you slim down."

Jiang Cheng let out a sigh.

So, he hadn’t recognized him.

Well, that made sense. How could someone as foolish as Jiang Yan easily see through his disguise?

Jiang Cheng raised his head again, this time with much more confidence, and deliberately said in a lame dialect, "No, no need, I’m quite satisfied with my current weight."

Jiang Yan furrowed his brows tightly.

He’d figured out why this person was so ugly.

Poor taste.

Such a tragic kid; doesn’t even have an older brother or sister to teach him how to dress.

As Jiang Yan released his grip, Jiang Cheng felt a huge sense of relief. Just as he was about to turn and leave, the door of a small shack made of wooden planks suddenly opened.

A wave of steam billowed out, revealing a beautiful face that also sent his adrenaline skyrocketing.

Jiang Cheng gasped, and alarm bells sounded throughout his body—

It was Jiang Li!!!

This female devil was not as dumb as Jiang Yan!

His first instinct was to turn and run, but as usual, when panicked, people tend to make mistakes. He hadn’t run more than a couple of steps before tripping over his right foot with his left, tumbling heavily to the ground and spilling all the water from the bucket.

Jiang Li was startled and subconsciously stepped forward to help him up.

But Su Yinwan seemed to care more about the person on the ground than she did, running over to help him up before Jiang Li could.

"Little brother Xu Cheng, are you alright?"

Afterwards, she seemed to cast a somewhat reproachful glance at Jiang Li.

"Jiang Li, there’s no need to scare people like that, is there?"

Jiang Li: ?

What had she done?

The live stream audience was also puzzled.

[What is Su Yinwan doing? Wasn’t it Xu Cheng who fell on his own?]

[Suddenly, I feel like she’s acting kind of dumb.]

[Isn’t it, how did little brother Xu Cheng mess himself up like that? He almost gave me a fright.]

"No, I fell on my own..." Jiang Cheng rasped out in explanation before hurrying away in a rush.

Jiang Li hadn’t paid much attention to this person before, but now she became a bit interested.

This person... seems to be really afraid of her.

As she watched his somewhat awkward retreat, Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed, and a deep meaning gradually appeared on her face.

Seeing how disinclined Jiang Cheng was to face Jiang Li, Su Yinwan felt a bit pleased.

However, when she turned her head and looked at the clean and refreshing Jiang Li, she couldn’t feel happy anymore.

And when she saw the space behind her that resembled a small bathroom, her happiness faltered even more.

How come Jiang Li and the others even had a place to bathe?!

Jiang Li spotted the envy in Su Yinwan’s eyes and said with a slight smile, "If you guys want to use this bathroom, you can too."

Shang Shuyue, who was already inside getting ready to bathe, turned back at this statement, feeling immediately displeased.

Why should that woman get anything for free?!

However, Jiang Li immediately added, "It costs 50 points per use. Not too much, right?"

That was too much.

Shang Shuyue thought this to herself and then, satisfied, nodded her head and closed the bathroom door.

Upon hearing this, Su Yinwan’s mouth dropped open, "50 points? Jiang Li, isn’t this a bit..."

"This bathroom wasn’t easy for me to put together, and the supply is limited every day. 50 points is not excessive, or you can choose to climb over the mountain in front, traverse a wetland, find the cruise ship, and then spend 50 points to take a bath there."

[HAHAHAHAHA Jiang Li, the heartless merchant, is back online.]

[How can this be heartless? It’s a good deal to spend 50 points for a bath in the middle of nowhere.]

[But Su Yinwan is supposed to be friends with Jiang Li, isn’t it not very nice to treat a friend this way?]

[? Wait, some fans have been saying they don’t get along, right? Given that, Jiang Li not throwing bathwater in Su Yinwan’s face is already pretty generous, right?]

Su Yinwan clenched her teeth.

She knew Jiang Li was doing this on purpose, yet the harsh reality in front of her was unrelenting.

They had no place to bathe, and by the time she heated up that bucket of water, it would probably be noon. Then she could only awkwardly find a spot in the tent to make do, and afterward, she’d be exhausted from cleaning up the site.

Instead of that, she might as well enjoy a proper bath here.

"Fine, I’ll give you 50 points."

Jiang Li smiled again, "How about this, you give me 300 points upfront, and I’ll let you take ten baths, how does that sound?"

Su Yinwan’s expression suddenly changed.

But the offer was very tempting.

She had to stay here for a long time, and rather than spending the extra two hundred points, it was cleaner to settle it all at once.

"Fine, I’ll give it to you."

Afterward, she gritted her teeth and transferred 300 points from her account to Jiang Li.

In an instant, Jiang Li went from being a hundred-pointer to a thousand-pointer.

In the bathroom, Shang Shuyue’s lips curled up to the sky upon hearing the conversation.

She had thought Su Yinwan was quite clever, but it turned out she was just a fool.

She might not get to take ten baths, but Jiang Li had already secured the 300 points well in advance.

It had to be said, Jiang Li really was clever!

Up in the cave, Shang Shaojing, the team leader, soon received the message that 300 points were deducted, and it just happened to show that Su Yinwan had spent those points.

Zhuola glanced at his expression and casually mentioned, "Miss Su just exchanged 300 points for the chance to bathe."

Shang Shaojing’s face grew even darker, and he recalled what Shang Shaobai had said to him before leaving—

"This Miss Su really doesn’t see herself as an outsider, leveraging your power without any hesitation..."

He had always felt that Su Yinwan would have a greater sense of propriety, but now it seemed that wasn’t entirely the case.

[Ding—Shang Shaojing’s affinity drops 2 points, currently at 91 points!]

...

The strips of cloth that Nina discarded quickly served their purpose.

Some were carried by the wind into the forest, got caught on trees, and were discovered by Team E, who were out gathering resources.

After carefully recognizing the writing on them, they exchanged shocked glances.

That bottom-ranked Team Q had so many resources?

Then why weren’t they going to rob them?

Another portion of the strips floated into the water and was retrieved before long.

Several people immediately, and fearfully, handed them over to their captain.

At this point, Team A had become quite substantial; their base camp with several tents upgraded to military standard, each team member equipped with armor, even their watches covered with protective gear.

Receiving the strips, Ji Yanbai looked at the message and showed a disdainful expression.

How significant could the resources of a mere Team Q be?

Even if they had them, they weren’t worth his intervention.

But such a good opportunity shouldn’t be wasted.

Ji Yanbai’s eyes darkened, "Why don’t we toss these to the teams below and see what they make of it?"
