The 01st District, 01st Subdistrict currently has a total of 920 people. Qi Xu was a little stunned, almost thinking he had misread the number—he had never encountered a subdistrict with so few players, fewer than 1,000. Shouldn’t they merge districts by now?
Qi Xu scrolled down from the top-ranked player, "White Little Black," and was utterly shocked.
Even by the 600th rank, every single player had a Level 6 vehicle. The remaining players were all at Level 5.
Qi Xu felt dazed. From his perspective, the 01st District, 01st Subdistrict shouldn’t be this strong—after all, he had never heard of any of them triggering a server-wide announcement!
Whether it was upgrading personal vehicles or clearing dungeon instances, could the entire district really be this low-key?
And nearly three-fourths of the players in the entire district had reached Level 6 vehicles—what kind of concept was that? It was unimaginable!
Without relying on server-wide announcement rewards, how could the entire district be this overpowered? In the 666 Subdistrict, only about 40 players had reached Level 6 vehicles, most of whom were allies from the Golden Group Chat. Higher-level players usually helped lower-level ones gather resources.
Aside from the Golden Group Chat members, only Heartbroken Kitten, Soft Persimmon, and Master Huixin had reached Level 6.
Qi Xu couldn’t make sense of it—the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
He even spotted Warwolf 001, the leader of all Warwolves and the strongest all-around fighter, ranked only 21st in the 01st District, 01st Subdistrict...
The chat lobby was eerily quiet. Qi Xu wanted to lurk, but it was nearly impossible—for 20 minutes, not a single person had spoken...
"Slapping You Hard": "This district... feels a bit eerie!"
Qi Xu was momentarily taken aback by the name, but it had its own flair.
He initially thought Dongfang Yuan had noticed the vehicle levels and was about to reply when she added: "Right after arriving, I found a golden supply crate, but it had a stitched monster inside!
Since when do stitched monsters lurk in golden crates? In our district, they only appear in diamond crates."
Qi Xu actually didn’t know about this—with the auto-collection arm for supply crates, he usually opened them all at night.
"White Breeze Brushing By": "Their district has over 600 Level 6 vehicles—it’s definitely weird. I even saw Warwolf 001 and was debating whether to reach out to her."
Dongfang Yuan didn’t offer any advice. Thinking wasn’t her strong suit—right now, she just wanted to pick a fight with the Demon Island Lord.
After some hesitation, Qi Xu decided not to contact Warwolf 001 directly. It was better to focus on the mission first.
He sent a message to Asnake.
"What’s the Demon Island Lord up to?"
"He’s hiding in a station! I’m so mad, so mad!"
"Do you know which one? I’m in the 01st District, 01st Subdistrict now. I’ll go after him—kill him if possible, or force him out if not. You ambush the exit."
"Black Ice Serpent, Leader of the Assassin’s Hall": "Perfect! I can’t wait! Hurry up—he’s at the movie theater!"
After getting the info, Qi Xu told Dongfang Yuan, and the two used a Random Station Selection Card.
No matter how unusual the 01st District, 01st Subdistrict was, the core survival game mechanics had to remain the same—otherwise, the Qiuqius wouldn’t be able to maintain game balance.
While navigating to the location, the Qiuqiu of the 01st Subdistrict suddenly contacted Qi Xu.
"Hello, big shot! I’m the Qiuqiu of Subdistrict 01. Hehe, I’ve long heard of your fame—I never expected you’d come to my district! If you need any help or have questions, just ask! I’ll tell you everything!
But first, you’ll need to sign a contract with me. Don’t worry—it’s all beneficial terms, no downsides!"
Qi Xu froze, finally remembering what he’d forgotten. He’d left without notifying his Qiuqiu—using a District Transfer Card directly must have left it... utterly confused.
After all, Qiuqius had performance metrics too, and top players were crucial...
After a brief moment of guilt, Qi Xu checked the agreement sent by the 01st Subdistrict’s Qiuqiu.
〖Pledge of Never Transferring Districts〗
"I pledge to never transfer districts, fighting to the end in the 01st District! (Subdistrict not specified.)"
There was no way Qi Xu would agree. He hadn’t just built a foundation—he’d practically laid the groundwork for an entire faction. Abandoning the 88th District, 666th Subdistrict now would be a huge loss.
Besides, most players in the 88th District, 666th Subdistrict were reliable—no unnecessary drama or headaches.
Just as he was about to refuse, the Qiuqiu added, "At least hear out the benefits I’m offering!"
Qi Xu nodded, pretending to be tempted. "Fine, go ahead."
"First, my attitude toward you—whatever convenience you need or information you want, as long as it doesn’t break the rules, I’ll spill everything! You’ll always be my most treasured player!"
Qi Xu scoffed. "Our 666th Subdistrict’s Qiuqiu can do that too. We even have an emotional bond."
"Don’t rush! There’s more! From now on, every server-wide announcement you trigger, I’ll double your rewards. I’m not like that broke Qiuqiu in your district—it’s always on the verge of being reset and has no assets.
I’m not trash-talking, but out of the 1,200 major districts in the China server, there are only 1,200 S-rank Qiuqius. The one in your 666th Subdistrict is just a measly C-rank—it only got promoted recently because of your performance.
It’s not just poor—it doesn’t even have the authority to share the kind of info I just gave you. If it leaked even a little, the Qiuqiu of the 88th District would detect it, and it’d either be fined, demoted, or outright scrapped.
But I can tell you everything without worry. Among the 1,200 S-rank Qiuqius, I’m number one. You’re the top player—I’m the top Qiuqiu. Wouldn’t our alliance be stronger than sticking with that loser?"
Qi Xu kept a straight face, appearing to ponder, but in reality... He wasn’t happy with this S1 Qiuqiu’s arrogance. Sooner or later, he’d drag it down and push his own Qiuqiu to the top!
But he couldn’t say that now. When under someone else’s roof, you had to lower your head. If the Qiuqiu of the 01st District decided to make things difficult, this trip would be a waste.
"The players in this subdistrict seem overpowered. There’s no guarantee I’ll trigger server-wide announcements every time. You’re promising a lot, but there’s almost no tangible benefit I can actually secure."
