Cheese Milk Cap with 80% Sugar performed slightly better than Ember Kiss Starry Moonlight, but there were still quite a few points deducted.
Xie Shaoning mocked the two of them with full force, "I'm speechless. We agreed to work together, yet you two held back during the fight. You didn't even get 50 points. You can only say you deserved it!"
Ember Kiss Starry Moonlight fired right back, "If Invincible Black Whirlwind was the one scolding us, I'd accept it. But where do you, a big idiot, get the nerve to open your mouth?"
Cheese Milk Cap with 80% Sugar: "I bet 1000 Survival Coins your points are definitely lower than ours."
"Bullshit! I bet..."
Xie Shaoning originally wanted to join the bet, but he didn't expect his own points breakdown to come down so quickly.
As soon as he saw the value, Xie Shaoning was furious. "Is this a mistake? Damn it, why am I in the negatives? They didn't even go all out in battle and still got positive points. I fought with everything I had every single time!"
[The idiot only grew a mouth, right? Look at the detailed breakdown below. I'm really done. This is already the gentlest secret realm. I told you countless times to unite, cooperate, and trust each other, but you just wouldn't listen. Ah, now you're complaining about low points? What were you doing earlier?]
Even Qiuqiu couldn't help but speak up. Xie Shaoning felt like the whole world was ganging up to bully him. He mumbled to himself, not daring to speak up again.
Qi Xu glanced at Xie Shaoning's detailed scoring breakdown and could only say one thing: he didn't earn as much as he messed up. If he had just messed up a couple fewer times, he could have gotten a positive score.
[Player: Xie Shaoning -30 Points
1. Fought with full strength, drew monster aggro and tanked damage head-on, +80 points.
2. Did not choose to rescue his pet first, instead blamed and shirked responsibility, -100 points.
3. Deliberately told teammates the wrong ribbon color, -80 points.
4. When crossing the bridge, chose to abandon teammates, attempted to use an item to teleport across, -50 points.
5. When falling into the water in danger, passively rescued a teammate, helped her get ashore, +40 points.
6. Betrayed teammate's trust during a choice segment, -20 points.
7. Turned over a new leaf in the final segment, fought bravely, bought time for teammates to decipher the password, +100 points.]
After reading all the details, Xie Shaoning was speechless. It seemed like he deserved this negative score. The highest deduction was for abandoning Mountain Lord Tiger.
If not for that 100-point deduction, he could have gotten 70 points, higher than those two scheming ones, only slightly lower than Invincible Black Whirlwind.
Xie Shaoning glanced somewhat guiltily at Mountain Lord Tiger, only to find it happily munching on energy stones next to Invincible Black Whirlwind's pet. Good grief, those are energy stones.
Do pets have their own allocation rights? Is this raising a pet or raising a master?
After much hesitation, Xie Shaoning decided to apologize. "You... don't be angry anymore. I was wrong too. Let's sign a new pet contract. I'll treat you well from now on."
Mountain Lord Tiger looked at Xie Shaoning as if he were an idiot, rolled its eyes, and directly turned its backside towards him, letting out a big stinky fart.
Being willing to save your life once is already me, Tiger, being righteous. And you still want me to follow you? Dream on!
Mountain Lord Tiger felt sad inside. You brought me into this world, and I was grateful to you, but you deceived and hurt me time and again.
Before, Mountain Lord Tiger had been very confused. Was it its own problem?
But only after seeing how Little Seven, Sweet Girl, and their owners interacted did it understand—it hadn't followed the right master.
Since this mistaken relationship has already ended, there's no need to go back to the past. Maybe we're really not suited to be together. After all, just hearing his voice makes me want to punch him.
Xie Shaoning frowned slightly. "I've given you a way out. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
Mountain Lord Tiger let out a furious roar immediately, its explosive temper impossible to hold back! It turned around, sharpening its claws. It really wanted to beat him up!
Xie Shaoning's face darkened again. He snorted coldly and simply ignored it.
Qi Xu raised an eyebrow slightly. He had thought Mountain Lord Tiger would agree to sign a new contract with Xie Shaoning. Back on the small boat, it had clearly been very worried.
It had also chosen to save him at the moment of life and death. But he didn't expect it to refuse so rationally at the last moment. How did it figure it out? What a smart furry kid.
Qi Xu thought Mountain Lord Tiger's decision was very correct. Xie Shaoning might have realized his mistake, but he hadn't yet learned to correct it. His mouth was still just as foul. Being together would only lead to constant conflict. In that case, it was better not to start again.
Even if his upbringing was truly pitiful, if he didn't try to change as soon as possible, these character flaws would follow him for a lifetime.
Qi Xu never considered pets as beings inferior to humans. Everyone has the right to make their own choices and analyze right from wrong.
Qi Xu was soon drawn to the Mysterious Store. Upon opening it, there were a full 100 items to choose from freely.
Qi Xu originally thought his 500-plus points were more than enough to buy whatever he wanted. But after looking through the Mysterious Store, he realized he was still too naive. Out of 100 items, 86 were grayed out.
Among the available items, he also saw the "Triple Combat Power Card" that A Bian had purchased last time, priced at 100 points.
For now, it wasn't very cost-effective. After all, there was still quite a bit of the potential potion refined by A Bian and Gua Gua. The points could be used on more crucial things.
There were also Space Stones, but Qi Xu didn't really need them either. The Lord of Demon Island had very kindly gifted him one last time.
So he continued looking.
〖Skill Tempering Space〗: Has a chance to temper an ability user's skill, promoting skill upgrade. 100 points.
Qi Xu currently had two skills: 〖Scarlet Assault〗 and 〖My Fate is Mine, Not Heaven's〗. One had just upgraded, and the other was newly acquired not long ago. It didn't seem urgently needed either.
But it could be put in the shopping cart as a backup option.
Soon, Qi Xu found something urgently needed and useful.
〖Plant Growth Accelerator Potion 200ml〗: Each milliliter accelerates plant growth by one year. 200 points.
Those two golden seeds—without using some external force, Qi Xu worried they wouldn't mature even by the end of his life. Although 200 points was a lot, it was equivalent to 200 years. Any extra, unused potion could be saved to accelerate other urgently needed seeds.
So he bought it immediately! Soon, he saw another crucial material for upgrading the vehicle to level 8.
〖Amphibious Performance Tires〗: Top-tier material for upgrading vehicles! 50 points per set, one set contains 5.
Qi Xu remembered that upgrading to level 8 required 20 tires. Another 200 points gone. This stuff really doesn't last long. It had been a while since he'd felt this sense of not having enough money to spend.
With the final 100 points left, Qi Xu bought 〖Blood Soul Grass〗, a material for the colored egg's hatching. He couldn't wait to meet the little creature inside the colored egg.
These past few days, because he'd been carrying the colored egg in his pocket, he felt his mental energy recovering very quickly.
If he wasn't mistaken, this little one should be of the support type, which suited his current situation perfectly.
