Chapter 266 Whoever tries to kill me will die.
Lu Youyou opened the gang group chat.
[Lu Youyou: I have a quest that requires a specific item from a dungeon, preferably one that can't be used outside the dungeon. Anyone have one? Name your price.]
[Wang Qiao: Sent.]
[Li Jinyue: I still have those monsters disguised as food from The Hunger Games, kept in the trunk. I don't even know if they're dead or not. I'm sending them to you for free.]
[Liu Lu: I have a colorful treasure chest from the treasure hunt game, but I haven't dared to make a wish yet. I've sent it to you, guild leader. Could you please give me a rabbit? I want to eat a rabbit.]
【…】
Many people responded to Lu Youyou's request; some wanted food, some wanted props, and Lu Youyou agreed to everything as long as the price was right.
Lu Youyou also randomly sent supplies to those who said it was free.
Lu Youyou knew that none of the group members had the relevant items anymore until none of them contacted her in the group.
Lu Youyou sent all of these items to the gold coin merchant at once. Before she could even send a message saying that Xiao Cui had collected them, she saw a notification on her watch.
The Gold Merchant's favorability towards you has increased to 51%.
However, the task to increase Xiao Cui's favorability remains unchanged.
She immediately clicked on the gold coin merchant's avatar and started chatting with him.
[Lu Youyou: Good evening, Gold Coin Merchant. Do you like the gift that Xiao Cui and I sent you?]
[Gold Coin Merchant: Who is Xiao Cui? Your pet?]
[Lu Youyou: No, it's a little monster I know.]
[Gold Coin Merchant: Heh.]
Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared at the top.
The gold coin merchant's favorability towards Xiao Cui has decreased to 10%, currently at -10%.
Lu Youyou's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
She turned to Xiao Cui and asked, "Xiao Cui, did you have a grudge against the gold coin merchant before?"
Xiao Cui shook her head innocently.
Lu Youyou had a guess in her heart: the gold coin merchant probably saw through her lie?
But why not deduct her favorability rating, and only deduct Xiao Cui's?
The gold coin merchant doesn't seem like such a kind person.
That means that in the eyes of the gold coin merchant, you haven't actually made any mistakes; otherwise, there's no way to explain it.
But what mistake did Xiao Cui make?
Lu Youyou was completely baffled.
She carefully crafted her words, intending to inquire tactfully.
But having not studied the art of language, one can only be described as polite, not impeccable.
[Lu Youyou: Xiao Cui is a good girl. Have you heard of her before?]
[Gold Merchant: Heh, good girl... a good girl would incite humans to work for her benefit? I think you're a pig-brain! Don't mention children in front of me again, or I'll block you!]
The gold coin merchant got angry, so Lu Youyou apologized readily.
[Lu Youyou: I'm sorry.]
However, she did not receive any further replies from the gold coin merchant, and her favorability rating dropped to 50% because of the message she sent.
Lu Youyou dared not disturb the gold coin merchant any longer; her mind was a complete mess.
Is this mission destined to fail?
"Sister!" Xiao Cui screamed in terror, "Someone's trying to kill me! Someone's coming again!"
Lu Youyou took out her invincible binoculars and looked around, but didn't see anyone.
This means that there are no hidden enemies within 100 meters.
Xiao Hei twitched its nose and kept changing the angle of its sniffs in the car.
"Master, I don't smell anything special."
Lu Youyou felt a bad premonition. It seemed that these people knew her little black dog could smell unfamiliar scents and had come prepared.
She never put down her invincible telescope. Now that Xiao Hei's nose is useless, she can only rely on herself to find the enemy.
Seeing no one in the binoculars ahead, Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look behind her.
Suddenly, a man with bared teeth and a drawn bow appeared in their field of vision.
It's Zhao Guang!
Whoosh!
The arrow had already left the bowstring and was heading straight for Xiao Cui.
Lu Youyou's heart leaped into her throat. She picked up Xiao Cui and changed direction, dodging the hidden arrow.
She raised her arm, aimed at Zhao Guang, and without hesitation pressed the switch on her sleeve arrow, piercing his wrist with a single shot.
Blood dripped onto the ground, revealing his whereabouts.
The black dog barked wildly as it got out of the car and began to bite and tear at things.
Knowing he was no match for Zhao Guang, he ended his stealth state prematurely and begged for mercy while wailing.
"I'm sorry, Sister Youyou, but I want to live! I don't want to die! Xiaocui has to die! I still have my daughter, she's only a few days old, she can't be without her father!"
Xiao Hei pressed down on Zhao Guang, and the saliva dripping from it corroded Zhao Guang's body, leaving one dark, bloody hole after another.
He acted as if he felt nothing, constantly saying that killing Xiao Cui was his mission, and that he missed his daughter and didn't want her to have no memory of her father.
Lu Youyou lowered her eyelids and looked down at the disheveled Zhao Guang on the ground.
Despite the pain he was in, he didn't beg for mercy; instead, he kept talking about his daughter, who was only a few days old.
Even though Lu Youyou was more cold-hearted and indifferent than before, she couldn't help but be moved.
She lost her parents when she was young, so she knows how children like that live.
If life is this difficult in a peaceful society, it will only be harder for a little girl born into a survival-driven world.
But despite being moved, she also wanted to live.
“You have your mission, and I have mine. I’ll let you off this time because you care about your daughter. But next time you try to sneak up on me, the hidden dart will pierce your neck.”
"Sister Youyou, please, I'm begging you! You're a woman too, you... uh!"
A tender bamboo shoot, as thick as a baby's arm, pierced Zhao Guang's heart.
The tender green gradually turned into a bright red.
Zhao Guang fell down with his eyes open, dying with his eyes still open.
Lu Youyou looked at Xiao Cui, whose face was now cold and indifferent, without the timidity she had shown at the beginning.
As if realizing what she had done, Xiao Cui shuddered, collapsed to the ground, and tears streamed down her face.
"Sister, I... I killed someone!"
Lu Youyou didn't know what to say, her mind drifting to the words the honey badger warrior had spoken before leaving.
He said, "Xiao Cui has an extra Soul Pill containing enormous energy in her body. As long as its power is activated, she will make rapid progress. I just don't know who gave her the Soul Pill."
Perhaps it was the powerful soul pill inside Xiao Cui's body that gave her two faces?
Or perhaps Xiao Cui was cunning all along, and her initial hesitation and avoidance when she met him was all an act?
However, because of Xiao Cui's move, Lu Youyou became even more wary of her.
She had originally thought that Xiao Cui, standing on the roof of the car, would be a sitting duck for those people, and that she should move her into the carriage to hide for a while.
But now it seems that Xiao Cui is capable enough to deal with those people, so she doesn't need to cause trouble for herself.
"Sister...do you think I'm a bad monster?"
Lu Youyou's expression remained unchanged, treating her the same as before.
"No, if he wants to kill you, it's normal for you to fight back."
"I...I have a goal. I carry the hopes of my whole family. I can't die, sister, I can't die."
Although Xiao Cui called out to her sister, she didn't look in Lu Youyou's direction. She just lowered her head, tears falling with the rain.
His tone gradually became firm.
"I want to live. Whoever tries to kill me will die."
