"Big brother will take good care of you" was passionately typing away, eager to rally everyone to join him in rebellion.
But in the next second, a glance outside the car window made his body go numb with pain before he completely lost consciousness.
Qi Xu immediately used the man’s own clothes to cover the wound, then violently dragged him to the roadside and fed him to the black mist lining the highway.
No need to dirty the car or the road with blood—disgusting.
[Detected recyclable vehicle. Grade: 4. Condition: 90% new. Features: built-in air conditioning, washing machine, full autopilot system. Damage: shattered driver’s side window, broken door handle, severely damaged rear right tire. No other visible dents or scratches. Estimated value: 722 survival coins. Confirm sale? No response within 3 seconds will default to sale.]
[3, 2...]
Qi Xu cut it off. "900 survival coins. Non-negotiable. But I’m keeping the autopilot system—you return that to me."
[Deal confirmed. Sale successful.]
Qi Xu smirked. Good, good. If he hadn’t haggled, he’d have lost big.
Staring at the 2,636 survival coins on his player panel, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought...
When would he get to splurge? Having money but nowhere to spend it was frustrating. A monster shop or a monster merchant would do just fine.
As for the idiot he’d run into today? He seemed like a decent guy.
Zero combat ability, yet loved to provoke. And he’d delivered so many goodies.
"Big brother will take good care of you" had indeed posted the chat logs in the group, ranting nonstop. Everyone had initially joined in for fun, wondering how Boss Whirlwind would handle it.
Then suddenly... his profile picture went dark.
Instantly, it clicked—Boss Invincible Black Whirlwind might have a calm temper, but that didn’t mean he had no temper at all! Push too far, and punishment would follow.
And it seemed Boss Whirlwind wasn’t any weaker than the Radiant God. From the moment the bounty was announced to now, less than half an hour had passed.
Factoring in the time needed to gather intel, use a tracking card, and travel, it couldn’t have taken much effort to kill the guy.
Naturally, no one thought "Big brother will take good care of you" was just weak...
After all, he’d been great at sucking up to the Radiant God, scoring plenty of perks under his wing. Rumor had it he even had some kind of autopilot system.
When the Radiant God was alive, his vehicle was Grade 3. The moment the Radiant God died, it jumped to Grade 4. Definitely one of the better-off survivors in District 896.
Too bad he couldn’t even last a little longer against Boss Whirlwind.
After killing him, Qi Xu immediately used a Plunder Card.
No point hoarding it. Might as well use it when some fool barged in.
It wasn’t like he’d always run into idiots like the Radiant God—weak, stupid, and generous.
Qi Xu had braced himself for meager loot, but after checking the guy’s backpack, he was stunned.
Even just the key items were impressive.
"Grade 4 hunting rifle, 321 hunting rifle rounds, 1 Grade 5 vehicle upgrade card, 8 weapon enhancement cards, 63 energy stones, 214 survival coins..."
Plus a ton of other miscellaneous supplies.
A closer look revealed the reason his vehicle hadn’t reached Grade 5—he was missing a smart AI chip.
With resources like these, yet still scheming? Now he’s dead.
Serves him right!
Another windfall for Qi Xu. The bad mood from having his vehicle insulted by that disgusting creep instantly vanished.
He scrolled up in the chat hall to review the creep’s earlier messages.
First, a few screenshots of chats.
Then a full photo of his pink garbage truck.
Qi Xu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. Anticipation stirred.
His mindset had still been stuck in the last round of the game—always feeling he shouldn’t be too flashy, that it was better to hide what he could.
But this incident made him realize...
In this district, he was the strongest. The only player who’d triggered multiple server-wide announcements. He needed to own that prestige and confidence.
Why hide anything?
Especially when the "show-off" stat in the top-right corner suddenly skyrocketed.
Blessed by Luck: "Boss Whirlwind’s ride is insane! I’d kill to have one like it!"
Old White Dragon in the Waves: "Damn, that thing’s huge! My junker isn’t even a sixth of that."
Silent Tonsils: "Begging for a vehicle skin card. This color scheme is everything."
Huaguo Specialty 196: "Silent, the moment you ask, it’s probably coming..."
Blue Little Flower: "Wait... sudden thought. Who said Boss Whirlwind is male? He’s never confirmed it, right? This ride is so pink and cute, hehe?"
Then...
The screen instantly flooded with hundreds—no, thousands—of question marks.
Finally, Old White Dragon in the Waves stepped in.
Just one line: "Drop this topic."
Instantly, the chat hall fell dead silent. Where dozens of messages would pop up every second, now... it was as if the entire player base had been muted.
Blue Little Flower was ecstatic. If Boss Whirlwind really was a girl, this was golden. Heart racing, she brainstormed how to fully ignite the "women supremacy" topic!
This was a survival game—no need to hold back! Fight for more benefits for girls! And force those male chauvinist pigs out of the game.
Qi Xu’s fatigue was still high, and his head throbbed badly. He hadn’t rested properly after the big battle.
So he pulled out a bottle of red wine.
Old White Dragon had given it to him, claiming it could drastically reduce fatigue.
Qi Xu found a fancy wine glass, poured half a cup, and against the sleek, high-tech dashboard of his cockpit, snapped a photo—showing half his arm and hand in a toast.
Then he posted it straight to the chat hall.
A subtle way to confirm his gender.
At this point, there was no need to hide anything. Might even lure out some fools eager to "donate" their coins.
Instantly, the chat hall exploded. No one had expected Invincible Black Whirlwind to be a girl!
First, the name was very masculine. Second, in a survival game like this, strength and combat prowess usually favored males.
For a girl to dominate this hard... seriously impressive!
Qi Xu took a sip. The headache faded almost immediately, and his fatigue dropped by 20 points. Only some muscle soreness remained.
He’d planned to nap briefly. With Qiuqiu and Xiao Qi guarding the vehicle, he could relax.
But then he noticed Blue Little Flower posting again.
"See? I told you our Boss Whirlwind is a girl! @CursedByLuck shut your filthy mouth, you brain-dead misogynist! Always bullying girls—why don’t you try talking trash to my Boss Whirlwind?"
