As his mental energy recovered a bit and his head stopped aching so much, Qi Xu finally looked at the materials required to upgrade his vehicle to level 8, which were displayed on the vehicle's control panel.
He was currently missing two items: either the Eye of the Spirit Stream, the River Runes, or the Sea God's Scepter, as well as a Monster Doll. He didn't dare to rest anymore. If he was just one step away and someone else snatched the server-wide announcement, he would feel like banging his head against a wall.
Qi Xu directly opened the Sea God's Treasure Map to check the entry requirements.
[Hello, lucky player. Congratulations on obtaining the qualification to come to the Sea God's world. To successfully enter the Sea God's Treasure Map, you need to gather 5 top-ranked experts!
(These 5 top-ranked experts must have obtained the first place on the monthly leaderboard at least 5 times. Each person can bring two teammates into the Sea God's Treasure Map secret realm.
The group with the highest score can exchange it for any of the special items: Eye of the Spirit Stream, River Runes, or Sea God's Scepter.]
It was a bit difficult. Requiring the joint participation of top rankers was nothing; District 666 had quite a few top rankers now. It seemed that starting from this month, he would have to let everyone change districts more often at the end of the month to play around.
Even if they couldn't get first place, going to other districts to get into the top five was better than staying in 666 and getting into the top 50.
But it was 5 times! After 5 months, it would be too late. If it were something else, he could slowly drag it out and wait for his teammates' ranking counts, saving enough before going.
But the key was that this was a necessary material to upgrade to a level 8 vehicle. Now, all the smart people knew how to play the survival game.
If he dragged it out any longer, Qi Xu was also worried that he wouldn't be able to get the server-wide first place.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out his cross-district communication cards and sent messages one by one to Ash Kiss Starry Moon, Cheese Milk Cap 80 Percent Sugar, Happyending, and Threeking.
However, the contents of the messages were quite different.
"I got a treasure map, want to cooperate? Cheese baby, see you at the teahouse tomorrow morning."
"Miss you, darling. See you at the teahouse tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, the teahouse. If you're late, you're dead."
"Bring your compensation to Qinxiang Pavilion tomorrow morning, otherwise I will definitely fight my way to Region 08 and practice with you face to face. I could kill you the first time in the Strongest Hegemony Competition, and I can kill you a second time on the highway. Try it if you don't believe me."
He quickly received four replies.
"Okay, boss, mwah! Thanks for thinking of me."
"I miss you too, so much that I can't sleep, crying day and night. See you tomorrow, beauty."
"Received. [Silly smile]"
"Heh, do you really think I'm afraid of you? The teahouse, right? No problem, I want to see what you can do to me!"
Ever since Threeking came back, he was scolded by Qiuqiu, and then there was no follow-up.
This was just right. He could also get in touch and coordinate with Invincible Black Whirlwind again to stimulate Qiuqiu.
Since he couldn't go to the Sea God's Treasure Map for now, Qi Xu thought about whether he should first find a way to get his hands on the last Monster Doll.
Qi Xu hesitated for a moment and directly located the Assassin's Hall.
Business at the Assassin's Hall had been much better recently.
At the very least, whenever Dongfang Yuan had money, she would come over and buy an S-class assassin to kill herself for fun.
Occasionally, when Ah She was really bored, he would personally go up and practice with her.
Compared to many stations that couldn't get any business no matter what, the Assassin's Hall was already doing quite well. Its performance wasn't at the top, but it was in the middle.
Ah She even had spare cash to fix up the incredibly dilapidated exterior of the Assassin's Hall. It looked much better than when Qi Xu first came over; even the paint on the walls wasn't peeling off anymore.
"Good friend, why did you suddenly come over!"
Ah She was currently sparring with Dongfang Yuan. But the moment he felt Qi Xu's presence, he directly sent Dongfang Yuan flying eighty feet away with a flick of his tail. He slithered over to Qi Xu's side with a swoosh and wagged his tail vigorously.
Qi Xu looked blankly at Sister Cut You, who had been sent flying. He couldn't help but clutch his stomach and laugh heartily, feeling a bit sorry for her.
Ah She awkwardly scratched his head with the tip of his tail, "Hehe, I forgot we were still fighting."
Dongfang Yuan took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed it all back down. "I'm the extra one here. You guys chat, I'm leaving!"
"Don't! Baby, we can't live without you!"
Qi Xu shouted affectionately, gripping Dongfang Yuan's arm tightly. Ah She also found it very interesting and played along.
He also wrapped his snake tail around Dongfang Yuan, wanting to act out a scene of reluctance to part, but ended up pulling her into a head-first fall.
Ah She awkwardly retracted his tail... Hehe, he forgot that human players were still very weak right now. Hmm? Very weak right now, so when would they become strong? Hiss, headache.
Dongfang Yuan held her even more painful head and ran off without a word. Sooner or later, I will completely defeat this big black snake!
"Hahahaha."
Dongfang Yuan's expression was too cute. Qi Xu couldn't resist using his light screen to take several photos in a row. It would be good to occasionally use them as screensavers when he got back.
"Good friend, you haven't said yet. Why did you come over today? Who do you want to kill? Do you want to kill yourself? I can personally kill you."
Qi Xu smiled very forcedly and hurriedly waved his hand. "No need, good friend. I just fought continuously for over 20 days. I can't grind anymore right now; even my hands are numb."
Soon, Qi Xu rolled his eyes and had a good idea.
"However, I do need to hire two S-class assassins."
Ah She brought out that tone of serving distinguished guests again. "Okay! I am very happy to serve you. May I ask who you want to kill? I can immediately dispatch assassins for you!"
Qi Xu said without hesitation, "Region 01, District 08, Threeking! Two assassins probably aren't enough, right? Make it 4 S-class assassins directly."
The big black snake's head suddenly zoomed over and asked faintly, "Did he provoke you? Do you want me to personally go and kill him? It's perfectly reasonable for the Hall Master to do it personally to save funds. It's completely within the rules! Yes, exactly like that!"
After the big black snake finished speaking, he nodded vigorously. As if trying something out and realizing he wasn't struck by lightning, he became arrogant again. He was about to close the Assassin's Hall and set off, but Qi Xu stopped him.
"Don't, don't, Ah She, good friend, it's really not necessary."
Qi Xu just wanted Qiuqiu to see that he really had the intention to kill Threeking, so that she would support him more, lest he truly be wiped out by the Invincible Black Whirlwind.
It wasn't like he actually wanted his life.
Once Ah She appeared on the scene, this matter would not end well...
After all, Qi Xu had never seen any monster or lifeform with stronger combat power than Ah She.
"Ah? Alright then."
