After finishing the whole movie, Qi Xu couldn't stop laughing.
The film told the story of a series of struggles and pursuits between the stupid, cowardly, and ignorant villain Fortune Girl and the heroic, mighty, and wise Qiuqius.
The final ending of the movie was inevitably a scene where the Qiuqius brought the evil villain to justice, successfully arresting her, with Fortune Girl kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and frantically admitting her mistakes...
"Lord Qiuqiu, I was wrong! I am truly too despicable!"
This was the last shot of the movie.
Although Fortune Girl was completely cartoonish, anyone even slightly familiar with Little Blessing would know that this was absolutely designed with the child Zhu Fu as the prototype.
Good heavens, Little Blessing had restarted so many times that she had truly and equally offended every single Qiuqiu...
To the extent that in this kind of regional joint instance, she could undoubtedly become the standard female lead; even as a villain, that was quite impressive.
Qi Xu could already imagine the scene of Zhu Fu seeing this movie, flying into a rage and cursing loudly; she would curse for at least half an hour.
To his surprise, a movie review was required after the film ended.
Qi Xu didn't hesitate at all and directly wrote an article of admiration and praise for the Qiuqius! In the end, it was rated as an excellent review and was enlarged and posted directly at the entrance of the 4D cinema.
Not only was the ticket money he paid earlier refunded, but Qi Xu was also given 50 game coins as a manuscript fee for its use.
Qi Xu hadn't expected that he could still make money with his pen even after entering a survival game. He had almost forgotten that before collecting scrap, his proper profession was a novel author.
Really not bad. Watching this movie was not a loss at all; it was relaxing, stress-relieving, and hilarious. Not only was his stamina fully restored, but he also made a profit.
After coming out, Qi Xu returned to the queue for the carousel. At the very least, he needed to figure out what "three and a half laps" meant; otherwise, successfully clearing the carousel would be even more troublesome.
The final direction of this clue must point to the evil soul entity.
Arriving at the carousel queue, Qi Xu almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
The two people who almost got into a fight in the morning were surprisingly still lining up.
When Shadowkill saw Qi Xu, he was visibly stunned, so embarrassed that he could hardly muster a smile.
After all, he had just said in the morning that he had already cleared the level, and now he was back in line... How could that be? Players who have cleared a facility cannot play it a second time.
He originally wanted to cover it up and say a few words to explain, but Endless Longevity was there. One could imagine that if he dared to defend himself or make excuses at this moment, she would definitely seize the opportunity to mock him relentlessly.
The scene might become even more awkward, so... he could only smile sheepishly. His eyes seemed to hold a thousand words, just wanting to express that he didn't mean to deceive him, hoping Qi Xu would understand.
Qi Xu first frowned slightly, then lowered his eyes in disappointment and remained silent.
Endless Longevity watched clearly from the side and did not disappoint Shadowkill. She indeed spoke up, "Is this another failed attempt to scam someone, only to be exposed? Haha, cough cough, if you don't have the brains for it, don't play these tricks."
"Once we are out of this instance, I will definitely kill you." The cracking sound of Shadowkill clenching his fists could be heard by Qi Xu even from eight steps away.
Endless Longevity smiled, her expression full of sarcasm. "Good, I'll be waiting. Once we leave this instance, if you can't kill me within three days, you're a complete retard. A toad with a bit of spit thinking he's the King of the Sea."
Shadowkill simply walked away. He still had a cooperation to discuss with Invincible Black Whirlwind; making more of a scene would just make everyone look bad.
It was just an instance. There was always a way to clear it. Even if the score wasn't great, it wouldn't be impossible to pass.
So there was no need to continue tangling with that crazy woman here.
Qi Xu smiled. "Didn't you kill his friend? Why does it feel like your interactions are as if he killed your friend instead?"
Endless Longevity coughed up a lot of blood again. "Is that what he told you? Heh, what a pretender. In a 1v1 arena challenge, only one can walk off the stage alive. Tell me, should I have killed or not!"
"There's no way not to kill in that situation."
Endless Longevity's expression instantly softened a bit. "He definitely has a motive for approaching you. Of course, I do too, but I'm just not as hypocritical as he is."
Qi Xu neither responded nor asked questions. From the moment these two deliberately and intentionally approached him in different ways, he had roughly guessed that they must have some motive or idea.
But... it didn't matter.
Whoever was anxious would speak first. Why be kind and ask? He had to keep a firm grasp on this pacing.
Endless Longevity saw through Qi Xu's plan and simply stated it directly, "He got an extremely high-difficulty treasure map that requires the participation of a player who has been first on the monthly leaderboard every time since the start of the survival game.
And he needs to gather five people. I guess he wanted to talk to you about this, but Shadowkill has a malicious mind. If you are going to cooperate with him, you must be careful."
Qi Xu asked Endless Longevity in return, "What about you? What do you want from me?"
"I originally didn't know you were Invincible Black Whirlwind. When I looked for you yesterday, I genuinely wanted to ask about the details of clearing the amusement rides. But after noticing Shadowkill deliberately sucking up to you, I found a way to trick him into revealing your identity."
Seeing Qi Xu raise an eyebrow slightly, Endless Longevity took the initiative to explain: "His glasses can see through all of a player's disguises and reveal their true identity."
Qi Xu then nodded. "So you still haven't said what you want from me?"
Endless Longevity smiled slightly. "Let's set a trap together and kill him, okay? Name your price for the reward. Whether it's survival coins, energy stones, or vehicle cores, anything goes."
Qi Xu suddenly perked up. "That's easy. Just go directly to Assassin's Hall! As long as you pay enough, they can send out assassins of any level for you."
"Assassin's Hall? A station? I really haven't encountered that."
"If you're not short on money, directly order 10 S-rank assassins, or simply hire their Hall Master at a high price. One Shadowkill is nothing; they could slaughter ten of him. It's safe and guaranteed."
"Thank you. I'll go right after leaving the instance."
Qi Xu was quite happy to have found a wealthy big client for Ah She.
Endless Longevity's turn in line arrived. She nodded at Qi Xu and walked in first.
The next second, Shadowkill appeared holding a cotton candy.
"My treat. The taste seems pretty good; many kids are lining up to buy it over there."
The broken expression on his face from earlier was gone, replaced once again by the gentle and warm demeanor of a youthful college student.
Seeing the cotton candy in his hand, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Qi Xu's mind. Connecting it to the lyrics of that nursery rhyme and the few note clues he had already obtained, he was instantly enlightened. He understood; so that was how it was.
