"Pfft!"
At the examiner's table, Hua Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter, banging on the table as she leaned back and forth in mirth.
Initially, when she saw on the screen that Xiao Feng opened his backpack and allowed Gu Shi to freely choose supplies, she was very unhappy, frowning with clenched teeth, thinking Xiao Feng was completely acting out of lust.
But in the end, when she saw Gu Shi writing an IOU, she couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't lust, but greed for money.
Just for that, it deserves a perfect ten!
Thinking of it, Hua Ling quickly wrote the number "10" in the score box for Xiao Feng's final item on her notebook.
After a pause, feeling still unsatisfied, she added a plus sign after the 10.
Wu Zhanbo and others naturally noticed this, thinking that no matter how many plus signs you add, it can only count as ten.
Thinking back to when they saw Xiao Feng letting Gu Shi pick supplies, this girl seed ready to eat soone, but then she was overjoyed seeing the IOU...
Might as well change her na from Hua Ling to 'Lovesick Hua'!
Of course, these words were just thoughts; saying them aloud was absolutely not dared.
...
After collecting the IOU, Xiao Feng embarked once again on his path to wealth.
Currently, the speed of eliminations had noticeably increased.
This indicated that most people had sufficient materials for defense and survival.
Moreover, as ti progresses, the safe zones shrink increasingly smaller.
When it shrinks to the final circle, the advantages and disadvantages of weapons beco pronounced.
Therefore, Xiao Feng felt he must race against ti, making as much as possible.
With this mindset, he quickened his pace towards a nearby location marked with a small flag on the map.
Upon seeing the flag, Xiao Feng stopped, surveyed the surrounding terrain, and instantly concluded that this was a man-made lure, designed to attract people to gather supplies and then attack them.
He had encountered such scenarios many tis before, and each ti the person fishing never caught a fish; instead, they ended up losing both their hook and bait, becoming the fish themselves.
"If you want to fish for others, be prepared to be fished yourself!" Xiao Feng smiled slightly, set down his backpack, and swiftly began collecting stones around.
Five minutes later, over a dozen fist-sized stones were laid on the ground.
Xiao Feng threw them one by one, aiming at potential hiding spots.
Upon the seventh throw, a scream rang out.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, and he sprinted towards the source of the sound with the speed of a hundred-ter dash.
The opponent's hiding spot was a natural depression, a person lying inside, veiled by the night, almost undetectable unless viewed from above.
Xiao Feng imdiately jumped down, sat on the opponent's waist, restraining them while reaching for the grenade at the opponent's waist.
Just as he extracted the grenade, he heard the opponent ask, "Are you 009?"
Xiao Feng was montarily stunned, "Am I that famous now?"
While responding, he didn't stop, snatching the grenade and the weapon from the opponent's hand.
"I've long heard of your infamous... oh no, your great na," said the man struggling on the ground with excitent, "I've wanted to find you for a long ti, and now I've finally t you!"
This statent left Xiao Feng sowhat confused.
Others were all afraid of encountering him, yet this guy enthusiastically sought him out, could he be out of his mind?
While pondering, he heard the opponent say, "Brother Nine, I've long heard that you only take... supplies without eliminating people. Please let go; I'll give you everything I have."
"Brother Nine?" Xiao Feng was startled, quickly realizing it was a nickna based on his 009 number.
Brother Nine it is, it's just a code na, what does it matter?
After searching through the opponent's pockets, Xiao Feng stood up, retreated five ters back.
The man got up, dusted off the dirt on his body, glanced at Xiao Feng's na tag, then couldn't help exclaiming, "Brother Nine, I finally t you!"
"Stop!" Xiao Feng halted his approach, asking, "Why are you looking for ?"
While asking, Xiao Feng also glanced at the man's na tag, which read Shang Shanhu, number 111, quite easy to rember.
Besides, he found this Shang Shanhu sowhat familiar.
After pondering for a mont, Xiao Feng suddenly realized, "You were one of the six people eliminated before, right?"
"Yes, I didn't expect Brother Nine to rember ." Shang Shanhu seed embarrassed, scratching his head, for being rembered due to appearing in the eliminated lineup wasn't exactly a glorious thing.
Xiao Feng's lips twitched slightly, feeling uncomfortable with the "Brother Nine" moniker.
But adhering to the custor-first principle, he still smiled and asked, "What do you want from ?"
"I hope Brother Nine can help break into the top ten!" Shang Shanhu stated solemnly, "Brother Nine knows this is our only chance to make a coback after being eliminated.
Previously, it was only said that they'll evaluate the number of people we eliminated, and our comprehensive performance to decide if we can pass the assessnt and remain in the Demon Suppression Action Team.
But there's no definitive standard, no specified number to eliminate, or how to perform well.
So, my only chance is to enter the top ten and win in this project to ensure I won't be kicked out of the Demon Suppression Action Team. Please, Brother Nine, do help!"
Xiao Feng frowned slightly, looking troubled, "That's a big favor you're asking..."
Shang Shanhu instantly understood, affirming, "I know Brother Nine's rules, if you help get into the top ten, I can write an IOU for 10 million.
After the assessnt, I'll settle as soon as I get my phone!"
A glint flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes, but his expression remained troubled, declining, "Selling you materials is one thing, but helping you into the top ten, that's very difficult..."
Before Xiao Feng could finish, Shang Shanhu raised his offer, "13 million!"
Xiao Feng was overjoyed inside, finding Shang Shanhu increasingly agreeable. He loved the feeling of being showered with money by these 'evil rich people.'
"Well..." Xiao Feng showed a tangled expression, no longer attempting to decline, seemingly pondering whether to accept.
Seizing the opportunity, Shang Shanhu gritted his teeth, "15 million!"
From Shang Shanhu's gritted expression, Xiao Feng could tell this was likely the maximum he could bear; insisting further might be unrealistic, best to quit while ahead!
"Alright!" Xiao Feng clapped his thigh, like making a determined decision, "Shang Shanhu spoke so sincerely, if I refuse again it'd be disrespectful.
I promise, I'll do my utmost to ensure you enter the top ten.
However, anything could happen, if I fail..."
"Certainly, can't let Brother Nine's efforts be in vain," Shang Shanhu imdiately interjected, "Even if it doesn't work out, I'll give Brother Nine a 3 million effort fee!"
Xiao Feng nodded, "Fair enough, but clear accounts make long friendships, how should we draft the IOU?"
