After thinking it over, Jinwen Xingmangyue directly asked for a high price of 200,000 Survival Coins. Building a team without money in your pocket just wouldn't work, especially since there were so many expenses in the early stages.
Jinwen Xingmangyue thought Qi Xu wouldn't agree, or would at least try to haggle, but unexpectedly, Qi Xu agreed right away. Instantly, Jinwen Xingmangyue felt like the asking price was too low.
Putting on a miserable face immediately, "Babe, could you haggle just a little bit? Otherwise, I'm going to feel like I took a huge loss."
Qi Xu asked with a grin, "How about I take it back and you ask again?"
"Forget it, hmph. For the sake of your beauty, I'll forgive you this time."
Just as Jinwen Xingmangyue finished speaking, the image of Invincible Black Tornado's monster transformation in the third stage suddenly came to mind... and a sudden shiver followed. It was absolutely hideous; just looking at it felt like it would shorten one's lifespan...
After the two sides happily completed their exchange, Qi Xu redeemed a "River Ripple Pattern" worth 4,000 points.
If there had been enough points, Qi Xu would have wanted to redeem the Service Area Fragment too, but Jinwen Xingmangyue absolutely refused to sell it. The other two had already been emptied out by Qi Xu, and as for Threeking, there was no need to even mention him—a pauper with -300 points.
Last time, Comrade Little Xie's situation was so abysmal, yet he was only at -30. This guy... tsk tsk.
The Sea God's Treasure Map Secret Realm finally came to an end. Just like last time, everyone was given a few Vehicle Cores as a participation prize at the end.
However, the number each person received varied. Qi Xu got 5, Dongfang Yuan got 4, and Wolf Warrior 004 got 3.
It was basically tied to their final points; the higher the points, the more Vehicle Cores they received. As for Threeking, he only got one.
So, apart from him, everyone else was quite happy. At the very least, they had gained something! They just lost a few teammates along the way, that's all.
Even now, Xie Shaoning couldn't believe that Burning Heart Liquor would betray him. The reason he had trusted him so much was because he had helped Xie Shaoning during his most difficult times. Throughout their time together, he had never been calculative; he had always seemed honest and a bit foolish.
Sometimes Xie Shaoning even worried that his brother would get the short end of the stick, so whenever they cooperated, he would proactively give him a larger share of the profits. He never expected that at such a critical moment, he wouldn't even be as reliable as the black-hearted Cheese Foam.
Xie Shaoning couldn't make sense of it no matter how hard he thought. Just a moment ago, he had even wanted to use his extra points to rescue the guy and ask for the reason behind the betrayal, but Cheese Foam had stopped him. That was why he decided to sell his points to Invincible Black Tornado.
Although there were gains from this Treasure Map Secret Realm, Xie Shaoning still felt very disappointed, even suspecting that he was just naturally incompatible with Treasure Map Secret Realms.
Cheese Foam's teammates were all gone too, but not only did she accept it calmly, she even seemed to feel that this was exactly how things should be.
By now, everything that could be redeemed had been redeemed, but instead, everyone felt a bit reluctant to leave.
Qi Xu simply took out some food and drinks, inviting everyone to gather together.
Of course, there was no share for Threeking.
He also had the self-awareness to know this. With a cold snort, he tried to exit through the portal but was stopped.
[Please pay 3,000 Survival Coins to clear your negative points before you are allowed to leave the Treasure Map Secret Realm.]
The heartless broadcast sounded, suddenly bringing up some of Comrade Little Xie's sad memories. He turned around with immense sympathy and cast a glance at the lonely, sorrowful big boy, while chewing the savory grilled skewers in his mouth.
Threeking's blood pressure skyrocketed, feeling absolutely miserable. He had gotten nothing out of this trip and had lost all his assets. Not only the things Qiuqiu had given him, but basically all the savings he had accumulated from participating in the game for so long had been stolen clean.
Fortunately, he still had one Ability Awakening Stone and a Vehicle Core left.
Wolf Warrior 004 even felt a bit of sympathy for his own Third Brother. It was tough, truly too tough! If he were in that position, he definitely wouldn't be able to handle it to this extent; his mentality would have probably shattered long ago.
At this moment, Wolf Warrior 004's sympathy and admiration for his Third Brother reached its peak, sigh.
So, without another word, he directly activated his ability and stole the Vehicle Core that his brother had just stuffed into his pocket. This Secret Realm had already been so miserable for him, so being a little more miserable wouldn't matter, right?
Qi Xu then remembered something important and secretly said to Wolf Warrior 004: "He also brought up a treasure, either a Weapon Enhancement Stone or an Ability Awakening Stone."
Wolf Warrior 004 understood in a second and continued to steal!
It took three attempts to succeed, and he actually managed to bring out an Ability Awakening Stone! It was just that this stone wasn't as overpowered as the one he had obtained himself; it could only allow one person to successfully awaken an ability.
Threeking was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that even when he was in such a miserable state, his Fourth Brother, who was drinking beer and eating skewers on the side, was still stealing from him!
With eyes spitting fire, he turned to look at Wolf Warrior 004. Wolf Warrior 004 smiled, bared his teeth, and after showing off, directly hid behind Dongfang Yuan.
Dongfang Yuan also immediately stood up with his long blade, twirled it in his hand, and narrowed his eyes, wanting to rush up and fight.
After lying flat as a monster at the bottom of the sea for so long, and finally returning to human form, it was time for a hearty battle! This guy looked like he could take a beating!
Threeking laughed out of pure anger, "Invincible Black Tornado, control your people! Don't push me. If you push me any further, I won't care about anything anymore."
For some reason, Qi Xu heard a trace of grievance in this fierce roar. Pretending to know nothing, Qi Xu gently patted Wolf Warrior 004 with a confused look, "What did you do?"
Wolf Warrior 004 smiled in embarrassment.
Qi Xu clicked her tongue a few times, "That's not right, you know. Don't do this next time."
After saying that, Qi Xu looked at Threeking again, "Don't be angry, either. After all, you are the top ranker in our zone, be a little more magnanimous."
"Make him give back what he stole from me, otherwise this won't end peacefully today."
Before Qi Xu could answer, Xie Shaoning stepped forward first.
"I've found you an eyesore for a long time. There's no need for Invincible Black Tornado to take action; I can beat you to the ground myself."
"If I lose, I'll give you 3,000 Survival Coins. If you lose, you give me 3,000 Survival Coins."
Threeking raised an eyebrow and mocked with a smile, hoping to recover some of his losses.
Xie Shaoning fell for it, as expected. You're someone with -300 points, where do you get the nerve?
"Fine, today your big brother will teach you how to behave like a proper human."
Xie Shaoning finished the skewer in his hand, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then stood up.
Cheese Foam stopped him, "Don't be stupid."
"Looking down on me, huh?"
Cheese Foam laughed out of frustration. Good advice is hard to persuade a fool with. "Go ahead, Brother Xie. You can do it, you'll definitely win."
"Brother Xie, awesome!" Qi Xu was also happy to watch the drama unfold. The moment Little Xie got a bit of confidence, he started falling back into his old habits...
Amidst these many compliments, Xie Shaoning stepped forward with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
