Qi Xu first took out a Title Imprint Stone and copied the title "Troublemaker." He still had three more of these stones left. Although such bizarre titles didn't enhance one's strength, they might come in handy someday.
Luo Xinpan, on the other hand, pondered seriously—what exactly was Qiuqiu? Probably something like an intelligent AI assistant in a survival game? Only the top players or special participants in each region could obtain it? But seeing how Qi Xu seemed to have a clear understanding, she didn’t press further.
"Light Fills the World, Chi Kuang, and Chief Beauty Officer—were their actions all related to you?"
Blue Little Flower shook her head frantically. "No, not me... I was afraid of being exposed if I acted directly. It wasn’t safe—people would gang up on me. So I manipulated others to stir up trouble. As long as I was the instigator, I’d get rewards."
Qi Xu still found it hard to believe. "Then why are you so weak? I’ve never seen you on the leaderboard."
Blue Little Flower, momentarily forgetting her fear, shot a resentful glare at Invincible Black Whirlwind. Was this guy doing it on purpose?
Every time she figured something out and was about to start causing chaos, this Invincible Black Whirlwind would kill her—three times in a row! And he had the nerve to call her weak? If not for him, she’d have been thriving by now!
Tonsils Never Speak couldn’t help but laugh. Only then did Qi Xu understand the situation... Tsk, good thing he didn’t have the bad habit of being soft-hearted, or he might’ve indirectly helped Blue Little Flower grow stronger.
Still, Blue Little Flower was quite capable—she’d managed to turn the entire region upside down. Aside from Chief Beauty Officer, who hadn’t caused too much trouble, the other two had made quite a splash in the chat hall.
"Hand over all your supplies, and I’ll spare your life."
Blue Little Flower snorted. "Yeah, right! Do you think I’m that easy to fool? Everyone knows Whirlwind’s enemies don’t survive past the next day. If I give you my supplies, you’ll kill me on the spot."
Qi Xu had no intention of letting her live. Even if there was no direct conflict, after today’s events, they were already enemies. Letting her go would be like releasing a tiger back into the wild—sooner or later, she’d come back for revenge. Better to be ruthless than dead.
Having been reborn, Qi Xu valued his life above all else.
But of course, he couldn’t say that outright. Without batting an eye, he pulled out a pale yellow energy card from his backpack.
"This is an Oath Card. I swear that after taking all of Blue Little Flower’s supplies, I will not kill her, nor will I allow my companions to kill her."
The moment he finished speaking, the card vanished into thin air.
Both Tonsils Never Speak and Blue Little Flower were stunned.
Blue Little Flower couldn’t believe Invincible Black Whirlwind would let her go so easily, while Tonsils Never Speak was reconsidering things.
If Invincible Black Whirlwind was really the type to prioritize short-term gains and release a potential threat, then she’d have to reevaluate their partnership.
But no matter what she thought, she kept it to herself, standing obediently to the side and nodding without voicing an opinion.
After a long hesitation, Blue Little Flower decided to take the gamble. Supplies were valuable, but losing her life meant losing everything... At least she still had those two clueless girls with her. She could squeeze some resources out of them temporarily.
As for begging for mercy? Not a chance. Invincible Black Whirlwind didn’t seem like the merciful type.
Reluctantly, Blue Little Flower emptied her backpack.
Qi Xu pressed further, "Is this everything?"
"No... I have a small spatial box in my car with more treasures inside."
The moment she said it, Blue Little Flower bit her tongue in frustration. But there was nothing she could do—her heart ached as if it were being torn apart. All her hard work, gone in an instant!
She’d been so close to obtaining the server’s first Obsidian Supply Box! Just a little more, and she could’ve turned the tables. Now it was all ruined!
"You’re not being honest."
Qi Xu’s light, almost playful voice made Blue Little Flower lower her head, afraid he’d see the resentment and hatred in her eyes.
If she ever got the chance, she’d make him pay—make him suffer everything she’d endured today.
Qi Xu, ever the instigator, asked, "Do you want to kill me?"
"Yes!"
"I mean—no! I don’t... I didn’t mean... I want to kill you—"
Blue Little Flower stumbled over her words, finally clamping her mouth shut.
But the next second, Qi Xu raised his dagger and slashed.
Before Blue Little Flower could even process her fear, a sharp pain shot through her neck. Her eyes widened as she collapsed backward...
"Sorry. I lied."
Tonsils Never Speak let out a deep sigh of relief. "Good, good. I thought you were really going to let her go."
"Are you kidding? I’m not suicidal. If Qiuqiu took notice of her and managed to manipulate Light Fills the World and the others into being so reckless, she’s definitely capable. No way I’d let her go."
"You’re right! I’m happy—no, honored—to join your team!"
Qi Xu pouted in mock sadness. "So you’re only truly joining now?"
Luo Xinpan didn’t seem embarrassed. Instead, she smiled faintly. "We needed to go through something like this to understand each other. Besides, you were testing me earlier too. We’re even!"
Qi Xu knew she’d figure it out—but that was a good thing. As long as her intentions were pure, the smarter, the better.
He hoped his teammates would all have strengths he could learn from. He wasn’t the type to resent others for being exceptional—after all, that was how a team grew stronger.
If they ever formed a guild, Luo Xinpan would make an excellent deputy—smart, tactful, charismatic, decisive, and highly efficient.
"Alright, time to split the loot."
"Uh, Sister Whirlwind, I think ‘share the rewards’ sounds a bit more appropriate..."
"Same difference."
The black box in the ambulance was a spatial container—about the size of a pencil case on the outside but holding roughly 10 cubic meters inside.
Blue Little Flower had filled it with shelves stocked with food, water, and drinks.
Qi Xu ordered Qiuqiu to handle it, putting everything up for sale in the trading hall.
"Wuwu... Qi Qi, have you forgiven me?" Qiuqiu asked timidly.
