Chapter 121: Mu Shen’s Mother
44 is the limit for all players on the scene, not Xia Feng’s limit.
In fact, Xia Feng had considered letting the B-grade Spirit Robe be bought by someone else, and then he would go and steal it, thus saving a large sum of Life Points. However, this was not safe.
Who knew if the person who bought the B-grade Spirit Robe would be a Fourth-stage expert.
It was best to get the B-grade Spirit Robe first to be the most secure and reassuring.
Moreover, for him, Life Points were very easy to obtain. His current goal was to see who had more Life Points and then find a way to usurp their identity.
Therefore, he didn’t feel any pain spending 44.
After all, the purpose of making money is to spend money.
And when Xia Feng shouted this price, the more than twenty surviving players on the scene were stunned.
Damn it, has anyone’s Life Points reached this high already?
Player 4 stared at the high platform of Player 17 diagonally opposite, his expression slightly grim. He had thought he was the highest on the scene and that no one could compete with him.
But he didn’t expect that Player 17, who had been silent all along, was the true big shot.
“Alright, you win.” Player 4 sighed, completely convinced.
According to his calculations, Player 17’s identity was [Red Rat], and he was [Yellow Rat].
According to the clockwise control relationship of Red, Yellow, and Blue, Player 17 could prey on him, but he could not prey on Player 17. Thus, according to the counter-control rules, if he killed Player 17, he would suffer a backlash and mutual destruction.
But it didn’t matter. He had previously used a skill card to probe Player 17’s strength, and it was not strong.
His own strength was Fourth-stage.
So, if he could find Player 17 in reality, he had plenty of ways to force out the “Exoneration Mandate” in his possession without killing Player 17.
“Tsk tsk, interesting.” Player 9’s teasing voice sounded. “Player 17, you need to be careful. Player 4 is a Fourth-stage expert, and he will definitely come to settle the score with you~”
A Fourth-stage expert? Xia Feng blinked. But what did it have to do with him, Xia Feng, if a Fourth-stage expert caused trouble for Player 17?
Through the [Sequential Position Card], he could locate a player’s position.
But he was not only Player 17, but also Player 10.
The teleportation mark on the Forest Scepter still existed. Although Player 10’s identity had been judged as dead, it didn’t mean he couldn’t continue to operate under this identity.
He even suspected that he could re-enter the Life Roulette with the identity of Player 10, but he had never dared to try.
So, after leaving this space, he could immediately connect with Player 10’s teleportation mark. As for Player 17’s mark, it would be judged as dead due to the temporary lack of a Spirit Master connection.
According to the rules introduction, the Sequential Position Card could not locate a ‘sequence without a Spirit Master connection’.
No matter how powerful Player 4 was, he could not locate him in reality, so…
“I know that many of you will look for trouble with me in reality next, but unfortunately, you are all too weak.”
Xia Feng sighed, his tone indifferent. “Player 4, I’m not targeting you, but I’m saying that everyone present is trash!”
“…”
“!!!!”
“Arrogant!”
“Damn it—kid, you just wait for me!”
“The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Player 17, you are too flamboyant.” Player 4 said calmly.
Xia Feng’s words immediately set off all the players present, and they all threatened to kill him. Xia Feng merely scoffed disdainfully, then said that he lived in the central city of District 1, and if they had the guts, they should wash their butts and come find him.
The taunt was effective, and the atmosphere on the scene was ignited.
But Xia Feng didn’t care. Under everyone’s envious, jealous, and hateful gazes, he received the notification that the “Exoneration Mandate” had arrived.
“Congratulations, Player 17, for obtaining the ‘Exoneration Mandate’. The next item is…”
Xia Feng was not very interested in the subsequent items. He simply opened the gift pack on his panel. It was like a game draw that yielded an epic weapon, emitting a purple light.
A pale purple Spirit Paper condensed in the air, and Xia Feng reached out to take it.
[Exoneration Mandate]
[Level: Rare B-grade]
It was covered in dense Spirit Particle Structure lines. Xia Feng frowned and looked for a while, vaguely understanding some of it, but also seeming to understand nothing.
With Mu Qingtong’s talent, he had learned many Spirit Robes, and his understanding of Spirit Robes had significantly improved.
But unfortunately, there was a huge difference between theory and practice.
He could perform the practical operations, and he did them very well, but his theoretical knowledge was still completely lacking.
It was like he was very proficient in using Word, Excel, and Photoshop and other office software when using a computer, but if you asked him how these office software were made, how the underlying code worked…
Sorry, he was just Boss Xia who gave orders, and Mu Qingtong was the programmer~
After putting away the Spirit Paper, the auction phase quickly ended.
The fifth trading phase began, and eight pop-up windows instantly appeared, all from people requesting trades with him.
“Good heavens, I’m quite popular~” Xia Feng slowly flipped through Player 17’s notes and found that Player 17 seemed to be very interested in Player 16.
After thinking for a moment, he chose Player 16 from the eight requests.
As soon as Player 16’s high platform appeared, a woman’s voice came, trembling and urgent:
“Player 17, I agree! I agree to all your conditions from last time! As long as you come and rescue me, you can do anything to me!”
“…”
Although Xia Feng didn’t quite understand what was going on, he quickly extracted the key information: “What, anything?” “Yes,” Player 16’s voice sounded like a married woman in her thirties, her voice soft yet trembling, looking like she was about to cry. “Anything, as long as you come and save me! Please, my husband is too useless, I can’t escape this Calamity Realm relying on him.”
The amount of information was a bit much, and Xia Feng needed to take a moment to process it.
It seemed like Player 16 and her husband were trapped in a Calamity Realm and couldn’t escape, so they were seeking help from outside through the Life Roulette.
They had sought help from Player 17 before, but perhaps the conditions Player 17 proposed were too perverse, and Player 16 disagreed, so they parted on bad terms.
But now, Player 16 was probably completely desperate and contacted Player 17 again. After all, Xia Feng’s display of wealth just now did make him look like a very powerful Spirit Master.
Seeing Player 17’s long silence, as if hesitating, Player 16 quickly operated and then said in a choked voice, biting her lips, “Brother~ I’ve transferred all the Life Points to you! You must come~”
[Ding~ Player 16 has transferred 24 Life Points to you. They have been automatically deposited into your account.]
Xia Feng stared in astonishment at the information that suddenly appeared on his panel.
[Life Points: (21+24) 45]
He had spent 44 points just now, leaving 21 points, but Player 16’s move completely stunned him. What was going on?
Was this person trying to steal his business? Xia Feng had always been the one sending Life Points to others; this was the first time someone had sent him Life Points.
“Brother, it’s all yours. As for what you said about wanting more, about… doing… with me… when you come, I’ll do it with you.” Player 16 seemed to muster a lot of courage before shyly saying this.
!
Xia Feng secretly rolled his eyes, not believing a single word.
Logically speaking, even if the Life Points were in Xia Feng’s account, even if Player 16 ambushed and killed him in the end, she couldn’t inherit the Life Points in his account. Player 16 could only get the bounty for preying and killing, not anything else.
Unless, like Xia Feng, she had a cheat.
So Xia Feng didn’t quite understand what Player 16 was trying to do.
But it didn’t matter. The Life Points had already arrived, so he just wouldn’t go to Player 16.
No matter what schemes this woman had, they would be futile.
“As for the third condition, I can also agree, but the Spirit Infusion Fruit is kept by my dead husband, and I don’t know where he put it. Brother, if you come, you can ask him for it.”
Spirit Infusion Fruits were indeed very rare, but Xia Feng now had Experience Pack 2, so he wasn’t very interested in Spirit Infusion Fruits anymore.
Getting tired of the new and loving the old was one of his few virtues~
“Brother, I know you still have concerns, but consider the Life Points as a deposit.” The woman was very understanding, and finally said in a choked voice, softly and sweetly, “If you’re not willing to come, it’s, it’s also okay.”
Xia Feng was almost moved by sympathy and almost believed her.
As everyone knows, in online chats, for every thousand beautiful women, there is one who is actually a big guy with his feet on the keyboard.
Yes, after all, according to the “pig butchering” scam model, one beauty account is often managed by 2-3 men. After all, even scam organizations need to sleep, so a three-shift work system is also common in scam organizations.
Finally, Player 16, standing on the distant high platform, bowed to him before ending the trading information.
With such a sincere appearance, Xia Feng couldn’t help but wonder if this woman was really asking for help?
Xia Feng flipped through Player 17’s notes again. They recorded that Player 16 was trapped in a Calamity Realm called ‘Children’s Playground’.
And she lived in a house full of jasmine flowers, so she was easy to find.
The trading phase and the Basic Predation Stage quickly ended. No one initiated Basic Predation on Xia Feng. They probably hated him too much, so they all wanted to hunt him down directly in reality. Unfortunately, these people could only do futile work.
After Xia Feng left the Life Roulette, he instantly disconnected from Player 17’s mark and reconnected with Player 10.
It was at this very moment that his phone vibrated.
He glanced at it, and it was Mu Qingtong.
[Experience Pack 1: I need you, come over.]
[Xia Feng: You want me to come, so I’ll come? Who do you think you are?]
After replying, Xia Feng waited for a long time, but Mu Qingtong didn’t reply to him anymore. Read and not replied! It was as if she was certain he would go.
Damn it, who is the boss here anyway! Xia Feng suddenly realized a truth: when a company only has one employee, that one employee is the real boss.
He couldn’t even fire her. Xia Feng muttered internally and got out of bed.
Just right, he had just obtained a B-grade Spirit Robe, and he could find an opportunity to give it to Mu Qingtong.
Soon, he arrived at Mu Qingtong’s villa again.
Suddenly, Mu Qingtong’s singing came from the living room. Xia Feng’s expression changed, and he quickly covered his ears.
“Oh no! The voice is poisonous!”
He used his Spirit Pressure to block his hearing, and then walked into the living room without stopping.
On the coffee table in the living room were scattered a pile of documents. Xia Feng glanced at them. The documents were all pictures of a woman. Her appearance was about six-tenths similar to Mu Qingtong’s, but she was older.
[Name: He Jianzhu]
[Age: Unknown]
[The official report stated that she committed suicide and her body was cremated. However, based on my understanding of her, she would not die so easily.]
He Jianzhu? Could this be Miss Mu’s mother? Xia Feng blinked and walked closer, wanting to turn over the documents obscured by papers to continue reading.
“Mr. Xia, peeking is not a good habit.”
A gentle voice came. Xia Feng looked up.
