A perfectly intact face, rotting fingertips.

Lu Lei's expression was always indifferent.

Dong Huimiao immediately realized that Lu Lei was a hypocrite.

There was only one person she knew who needed to go to great lengths to conceal his appearance—Xia Chuhe!

Although we don't know what methods Xia Chuhe used, the possibility that Lu Lei is Xia Chuhe is too high!

Dong Huimiao's throat bobbed, and his steps grew increasingly stiff. What to do? Should he use this to threaten Xia Chuhe into giving him a "battle kit" first?

No, no, no, one combat pack isn't enough. She wants Xia Chuhe to work for her and hand over all the slime she obtains! Then she'll get a huge lead over Xia Chuhe, seize the energy of the Heavenly God Temple first, acquire one-third of the Heavenly God Temple's ownership, and become incredibly wealthy!

Winter destroyer fantasizes about Summer hoeing the rice planter kneeling and begging for mercy, weeping and pleading with him not to expose her. He grins with pleasure, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.

A sliver of reason reminded Dong Huimiao not to act rashly. She was no match for Xia Chuhe, and Xia Chuhe, enraged after her identity was exposed, might burn her to death.

"Hey! Lu, Lu Lei, do you have any extra combat packs? Could you sell me one?" Dong Huimiao suppressed her turbulent thoughts and pretended not to have discovered Xia Chuhe's identity.

“Okay, trade your catch tonight,” Lu Lei said with a smile.

"You!" Dong Huimiao was a little annoyed, but she knew that Lu Lei's asking price was not high.

A dozen or so bottles of slime seem like a lot; they could be exchanged for about five mini-brutes at the factory. But mini-brutes are too small; at market price, they'd only cover the cost of half a combat kit.

Dong Huimiao angrily pushed the slime into Lu Lei's arms, thinking resentfully, "Once I get promoted, I'll immediately report you to my supervisor and have the people from the Heavenly God Temple deal with you properly."

The mucus touched Lu Lei's body and was immediately absorbed into his spatial storage.

Dong Huimiao was stunned and didn't even bother to take the combat pack from Lu Lei's hand.

Lu Lei's actions were tantamount to declaring to her that she did not use a combat pack to store things, but rather possessed spatial abilities.

Lu Lei was telling her that she was Xia Chuhe!

Xia Chuhe deliberately showed her even his rotting fingers!

Why?! Isn't she afraid?! How dare she?! How dare she?!

"Take it!" Lu Lei urged, winking at Dong Huimiao.

Dong Huimiao gritted her teeth and snatched the combat pack from Lu Lei's hand, angrily saying, "You guessed who I am?"

Lu Lei chuckled, a smug hum escaping his nose; the answer was self-evident.

"Why are you helping me?" Dong Huimiao clutched the combat pack, feeling utterly humiliated and wishing she could throw it away immediately. But she couldn't; she needed it.

Lu Lei raised her hand to show Dong Huimiao her palm and the back of her hand, which was covered with large and small corrosive wounds.

"It hurts a bit, I don't want to get hurt again. Anyway, there's no problem right now, why don't we cooperate and achieve a win-win situation?" Previously, Dong Huimiao had proposed cooperation once, but Xia Chuhe hadn't agreed. Because back then, Dong Huimiao was useless, but now it's different; Dong Huimiao is extremely useful.

Lu Lei was worried that someone might overhear them, so he deliberately spoke vaguely about the "rules and clues." Even if someone with ulterior motives overheard, they would mistakenly think that the two were discussing promotions.

There was no response from "Winter Destroyed Seedlings".

Lu Lei smiled and said, "If you want to cooperate with me tomorrow, remember to ask me for help once."

After saying that, Lu Lei turned and left.

Dong Huimiao stood there, frowning in thought. What did Xia Chuhe mean? Why was he asking her for cooperation? Shouldn't Xia Chuhe be the one asking him for help?

However, recalling Xia Chuhe's prediction of "tomorrow..." the night before, she clearly anticipated that an even more intense theft would occur today.

Today is the third day, and blatant robbery has already begun. As the probationary period ends, the fighting will intensify, and those with strong abilities will undoubtedly prevail. Tomorrow's competition will be even fiercer; she'll likely have a hard time protecting her hard-earned gains.

Thinking about what might happen in the next few days, Dong Huimiao regretted not agreeing to the cooperation earlier.

Frustrated, Dong Shimiao scratched his head, not wanting to worry about summer weeding; he'd deal with it tomorrow. After all, there were many weak people; united, they were a force to be reckoned with, and it was impossible for everyone to remain completely passive.

...

Female workers' dormitory.

Lu Lei, who had promised to keep the overtime incident a secret, woke Qian Rui and Li Rong as soon as he got back.

Waking up, Qian Rui said in a harsh tone, "What? If you can't say something important, I'll beat you to death."

Li Rong looked listless, squinting her eyes and remaining silent.

Lu Lei casually picked up a few bottles of slime and shook them: "I'm just kindly reminding you that there are more efficient ways, don't be ungrateful."

Lu Lei told the two that the unknown monster would drop slime at night.

Qian Rui fell asleep immediately: "Get lost, I'm not interested. I'm only interested in torturing Zhao Yu."

Li Rong thanked him with bright eyes, rubbed her face, shook Li Feng awake, and said they were going to get to work now.

Lu Lei whispered devilishly in Qian Rui's ear: "Isn't it a way to torture Zhao Yu to get what he wants and then destroy it in front of him?"

Qian Rui clicked her tongue, thinking that Lu Lei's words made a lot of sense, but she had a better way to harvest the slime.

Qian Rui turned over and continued sleeping, lazily saying, "Don't meddle in other people's business... Be careful of Zhao Yu's special ability; his sweet talk is adept at bewitching people."

Lu Lei took Qian Rui's advice to heart and quietly followed Li Feng and Li Rong into the factory to observe their reactions to the black slime.

As she expected, Li Feng, who had taken Blue, was completely unaware of the presence of the black mucus, while Li Rong was able to sense it in advance.

Interestingly, Li Feng and Li Rong's response after discovering this was as follows: Li Feng pulled up a chair and sat behind him, popped something into his mouth, then held his finger in the air, while Li Rong stood in front and pointed out the location of the black slime. Basically, wherever Li Rong pointed, the black slime there would be attacked and revealed by something invisible, dying and falling to the ground.

It is obvious that Li Feng possesses powerful offensive capabilities, but these capabilities are triggered by something.

The others who remained in the breeding room working overtime were very dissatisfied with the addition of Li Feng and Li Rong, but they were wary of Li Feng's strength and dared not rashly drive them away.

At this point, Lu Lei had figured out the background of everyone in the same breeding room, except for Qian Rui.
