Completely disregarding the psychological trauma he had caused his subordinates, Chu Yuan, realizing that Xiao Jin seemed unwilling to talk to him, was not annoyed and took out another bottle of wine to drink.

Xiao Jin also heard the sound from the other side. She wasn't surprised at all, as Chu Yuan's impression of her was that he was unpredictable.

However, recalling what happened that day, there was another thing that left a deep impression on Xiao Jin: after the two of them worked together to kill the mutated scorpion, Chu Yuan's disheveled figure as he fled.

I wonder if he still remembers!

Besides these, there were two other groups of people who were quite conspicuous in the square.

Previously, players not only had to guard against the ubiquitous mutated plants and animals and orc squads, but also had to be wary of players hiding in the shadows.

Therefore, those who can truly unite are extremely rare.

People like Shao Siyuan and his three companions have been through thick and thin together, so they naturally trust each other. As for Chu Yuan, there will always be plenty of people who admire strength, no matter where they are.

Like Chu Yuan, there were two other groups followed by dozens of people.

Interestingly, both groups were led by women.

One of them was gentle and beautiful, wearing a form-fitting leather armor, with long, flowing hair. Everyone else had barely escaped with their lives to get in, but she was the only one whose hair wasn't a single strand out of place.

The woman had a gentle smile on her lips, as if she had just gone on a simple spring outing.

She was followed by about twenty players, mostly strong men.

Xiao Jin watched coldly as many of the men in the group looked at the woman leading the group with admiration.

No, it wasn't admiration! The emotions in their eyes seemed even more fervent, as if they had seen a supreme god!

Upon realizing this, Xiao Jin immediately had a guess in his mind.

Could this woman have some kind of item that can increase her charm? The way these players are behaving is definitely not normal.

The other team was quite special; it could be said that no one in the entire square was more conspicuous than them.

This group was not only the largest, with nearly a hundred people, but to Xiao Jin's surprise, there wasn't a single man among them; they were all women.

From middle-aged women in their fifties to girls as young as fourteen or fifteen, they were all gathered around a hot and beautiful woman.

These people were extremely vigilant; even after the system had stated the rule that fighting was prohibited in the dungeon, their expressions remained wary.

Especially for tall male players, these female players wanted to stay as far away as possible.

Xiao Jin was taken aback, then looked at the beautiful woman, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Women are inherently more disadvantaged in certain areas. In survival games, there are certainly skilled female players, but no one can argue that men are often the ones who handle things with ease.

But not only did she manage to fight her way out of adversity, she also had a kind heart and sheltered so many women on the island.

Based on these points alone, the other party deserves Xiao Jin's respect.

Judging from the dependent looks in these women's eyes, she had won them over with her performance.

Winning over players is easy, but gaining their genuine trust is the real challenge.

Perhaps Xiao Jin's gaze was too obvious, because the beautiful woman turned her head and looked over. When she saw Xiao Jin's eyes, her eyebrows curved and her shoulders trembled.

She pulled the cigarette butt from her hand and then winked at Xiao Jin. Her red lips parted slightly, and she slowly exhaled a hazy cloud of smoke, which blurred her eyes.

This scene made many male players around stare wide-eyed, and they all looked at Xiao Jin with envy. "Tch, just a pretty boy."

"Cough cough cough~"

On the other side, Yang Sheng was coughing so hard his lungs felt like they were going to come out, and he kept giving Xiao Jin meaningful glances.

Sui Ying, meanwhile, was staring at the beautiful woman, her teeth itching with hatred. Seeing Yang Sheng's strange expression, she kicked him hard.

"If your eyes are not feeling well, go take medicine!"

Xiao Jin didn't react much, and nodded in a friendly manner as she met the other person's gaze.

This time it was Gao Ya's turn to be surprised. She leaned on her elbow, holding the huge red moon blade, glanced at the refined and aloof young man in the distance, and chuckled softly after a long while.

He lightly tapped his temple with his fingertip: "Heh~ Interesting!"

…………

At this moment, there are still more than ten hours left before the game ends.

The players who entered the dungeon gradually relaxed.

Since there was nothing around, and they had nothing else to do, they simply ate or slept.

It's unclear who first pulled out a portable gas stove and started cooking, but the other players followed suit, cooking all sorts of things.

For a simple meal, you can eat some bread or snacks. If you've had enough bread, you can heat some steamed buns or dumplings in hot water, along with some pickled vegetables or canned food.

Those who were more particular, and had the means, basically started cooking, boiling noodles or stir-frying vegetables, and for a time the whole square was filled with the aroma of food.

Some people didn't want to eat, so they simply found an open space and set up tents.

Unlike Xiao Jin, who could hide away and rest to replenish her stamina while killing monsters, the other players basically persisted for a whole day.

Once they relax, their stomachs rumble loudly, and they can barely keep their eyes open! Some players even fall asleep halfway through their meal, with a piece of bread still in their mouths!

Considering that it was indeed a long time, Xiao Jin and the other two decided to take out the tent.

Firstly, it would reduce prying eyes; secondly, they could get some rest; and thirdly, Xiao Jin wouldn't have to worry about others being afraid to offer her whatever she wanted to eat.

The tents used were Xiao Jin's; the tents used by Sui Ying and the others were mostly single-person tents, too small to fit everyone.

Given Sui Feng's current condition, they were not comfortable leaving him alone in a single tent.

Yang Sheng is quite an interesting person. Judging from his current appearance, he clearly has no intention of leaving and wants to stay with Xiao Jin and the others.

After thinking about it, Xiao Jin decided not to kick the person out. It would just mean one more mouth to feed, and he wouldn't go broke from eating.

Although Yang Sheng seems unreliable, he's actually a decent person.

After setting up the tent, Xiao Jin and the others went inside. The space inside was quite large, easily accommodating eight or ten people.

Xiao Jin laid out the mats and, together with Sui Ying and Yang Sheng, helped Sui Feng from the wheelchair onto the mats to lie down. Then she began to prepare their dinner.

Although they were capable of firing, all three of them were exhausted, so Xiao Jin didn't bother and, as usual, brought out some readily available firearms.

However, since there were outsiders around this time, Xiao Jin restrained himself a bit, and most of the food he took out was from resource boxes.

Sweet and sour fish, spicy river crab, spicy chicken, grilled squid, scallion oil noodles, crab roe rice bowl, spicy hot pot, tiger skin green peppers, glutinous rice cake, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

"Ah...this...this~"

Just as Yang Sheng was about to take out his luncheon meat hot pot, he saw that the small table was already full of Xiao Jin's food, so he immediately put his things back.

What a joke! What is a self-heating hot pot? How can it compare to crab roe rice bowls or spicy chicken?

Good heavens, that little jar that smelled so good he almost swallowed his tongue, could it be Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?

However, Yang Sheng didn't really leave empty-handed. After searching for a while, he finally found two boxes of takoyaki and half a roast duck in his backpack.
