Seeing Qi Xu narrow her eyes, the two of them instantly froze in embarrassment, trying to act cute with pitiful little gestures, but Qi Xu wasn't buying it at all.
"If you ask me, you two really aren't as cute as Little Xie. If you want to know something, just ask directly. Trying to fish for information like that, didn't I see through it at a glance? You really think you're so smart, huh?"
Xie Shaoning was a bit confused for a moment, not knowing if he was being praised or scolded by Invincible Black Whirlwind. In the end, he decided... it was better to pretend to be aloof and keep his mouth shut, since he didn't quite understand.
Threeking paid the fine and limped upstairs.
Invincible Black Whirlwind's kick just now had directly fractured his tailbone. Even after using a healing card, his butt still throbbed with a dull pain...
He didn't want to keep acting in this play anymore; it was meaningless. If he had to keep acting, could he at least get a portion of that Master Chef's food?
Threeking let out a deep sigh and pushed the door open to walk in.
He glanced at the four people present, hesitated for a moment, and sat down next to Xie Shaoning. He looked like the only normal person here.
Threeking spoke directly, "Spit it out, what did you call me over for today? I've already asked around, Qinxiang Pavilion doesn't allow killing."
Qi Xu smiled and replied, "That's why you're still alive to come up."
Xie Shaoning couldn't help but chuckle softly, secretly clapping his two index fingers together. This new friend came at a great time; Invincible Black Whirlwind wasn't even scolding him anymore.
Qi Xu cast a puzzled glance at Xie Shaoning. What was wrong with him?
Threeking also turned his head to look at Xie Shaoning with a helpless expression. He had overestimated him; there wasn't a single normal person here.
Qi Xu directly took out the Sea God's Treasure Map and placed it on the table. "Spots for the Sea God's Treasure Map Secret Realm, 2000 energy stones per person. Those who are unwilling can wait for the next opportunity to cooperate."
Cheese Milk Cap Eight-Percent Sugar didn't hesitate for even a second and directly transferred 2000 energy stones to Qi Xu.
"Count me in, Boss Whirlwind. You know I admire you the most."
Ember Kiss Starry Moon didn't think much about it either. He had recently made a small profit, and spending 2000 energy stones to go to a treasure map secret realm was a good deal. Although he might not necessarily make a profit, he definitely wouldn't lose out.
Seeing that both of his old friends had paid, Xie Shaoning quickly followed suit, afraid of being misunderstood by Invincible Black Whirlwind again.
Finally, only Threeking was left.
"Sea God's Treasure Map? You're willing to take me along?"
"Yeah, of course. Don't worry, I absolutely don't want to trick you into the treasure map secret realm to kill you. I, Invincible Black Whirlwind, am not that kind of person. However, if you want to participate, it's 3000 energy stones. The others are my good friends, so naturally, it can't be the same price."
Threeking's smile was a bit forced. Sis, you're really not even pretending anymore.
Only Xie Shaoning was so excited he wanted to jump for joy. It turns out Invincible Black Whirlwind really considers me a friend!
"What's the specific gameplay of this treasure map secret realm? Care to explain?"
Speaking of serious matters, the other three also focused their attention and looked over.
"It requires the joint participation of 5 players who have taken the top spot on the regional monthly leaderboards more than 5 times. Each participant can bring two teammates to form a group of three. The one with the highest points can exchange them for special items."
"Ah, aren't we in the same group? We have to bring our own people in?"
The scheming trio was a bit dumbfounded, thinking they could just lie flat and tag along again.
"Right."
"Hiss..."
"Is there anything else?" Threeking put on quite the airs, not saying whether he agreed or not.
Qi Xu threw her hands up, "Nope, you can get lost now."
"I'll go back and think about it."
"NO. If you walk out this door without paying, this opportunity will have nothing to do with you anymore. I have so many server transfer cards. I don't believe that if I go looking one by one, I won't be able to find a top player who has ranked first on the monthly leaderboard 5 times."
Threeking had already reached the door, but hearing Invincible Black Whirlwind say this, he hesitated again.
Just then, Qiuqiu spoke up.
"Agree to it."
"Forget it, I don't really want to participate. I suspect she wants to kill me in the treasure map secret realm."
Qiuqiu instantly flew into a rage, "Idiot! Fool! Retard! The Sea God's Treasure Map Secret Realm contains the core materials to upgrade vehicles to level 8. Within the first year of the survival game, they can only be obtained from this treasure map secret realm. Only 10 Sea God's Treasure Maps were issued in the first batch across the entire server!
As long as there are no special notes, you won't die in a treasure map secret realm. You're already participating in a survival game, and you're still such a coward? Do you even have the face to live? Give her the energy stones right now, you must participate!"
"But I don't have that many energy stones either. Almost all my energy stones have been put into my throwing knife box."
"What a piece of trash! I'll lend them to you first."
Threeking automatically filtered out Qiuqiu's foul language. He was already used to hearing it; as long as he could take advantage of the situation, it was fine. He turned around and paid 3000 energy stones. "Count me in too, but let me tell you, it's not certain who will kill who."
"Tsk tsk, young man, are you talking so arrogantly because your little face is handsome enough?" Ember Kiss Starry Moon said probingly. When he tried to reach out and touch his shoulder, Threeking turned away to avoid it, his eyes full of wariness.
Ember Kiss Starry Moon always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. These two looked like they had some deep hatred, but there was definitely a hidden story.
If Invincible Black Whirlwind really wanted to kill him, he would have been dead long ago. How could he still have the chance to spout harsh words here? Coincidentally, Cheese Milk Cap Eight-Percent Sugar had the exact same thought.
Threeking snorted and turned around to leave.
Xie Shaoning was a bit dissatisfied, "Coming and going as he pleases, arrogant like a dog. Why don't those two extra killers of yours go kill him?"
"He's got 4 over there. Sending them all over together is a bit of a waste, so I'm storing two with you first. If 4 killers can successfully kill him, I'll withdraw your two. Wouldn't that save me some money? If they can't kill him, then all 6 will go kill him together."
Qi Xu lied effortlessly, without showing a single trace of deception.
Xie Shaoning suddenly felt... Invincible Black Whirlwind was actually quite decent to him.
Looking at the newly received 9000 energy stones, Qi Xu was in an infinitely good mood. She distributed 1000 to each of her three pets and gave 2000 to the Tree of Life.
Instantly spending more than half, she felt that she had asked for too little just now... Threeking's side definitely had Qiuqiu paying for it, so she should have asked for at least 5000. She immediately sent a message to Menmen! Hehehe.
There were still a few days left before rewards would be distributed again, so she could let her leeks go back and fatten up. What was the saying about making money? Right, sustainable development strategy!
