With a slight sound, the man's slender fingertips pinched the edge of the hat brim, making people's breath stop.

The hat at this moment was just like the one he had seen in picture books before, covering most of his face at an angle. From Qianyue's perspective, she could only see his thin lips tightly pursed under the hat.

"Player 3873..."

Before he could finish his words, a sudden roar was heard above their heads. At the same time, the players in the sea suddenly became agitated, and Qianyue's eyes lit up!

Airdrop dropped!

"Multiple attacks..."

Qianyue shouted: "Don't move!"

The man raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with shock.

Qianyue turned back at the right moment, "I'm not talking about you."

The tone was so soft, completely different from before.

At this moment, the sound of paddling waves echoed from the sea, and Qianyue's eyes suddenly changed. She took a step forward to block the Duobao merchant, and with a flick of her wrist, the bamboo pole swung straight up with a "swish"!

Qianyue sneered and said, "If you come any closer, I won't be polite!"

Everyone had seen how ruthless Qianyue was, and after being pointed at so sharply by her, some people were frightened and dared not move.

"No, no, no... We won't move..."

As if to maximize the slapping effect, the moment the man finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded at an inopportune time not far away!

Everyone turned around and found that the two people who had encouraged others to come up and fight Qianyue had already landed on the other side of the island at some point!

The people in the water realized later: they were fooled!

The two of them did intend to attack Qianyue at first, but after seeing the others being instigated, they changed their minds.

The solution was thought up by the two of them, so it doesn't make sense that they would be the first to rush into a fight, right?

It would be better to let the others deal with Qianyue first. They could take this opportunity to sneak onto the island and collect the last two portions of Isatis root.

Maybe in the end, when that group of people and Qianyue are both defeated, they can reap the benefits.

The two of them had similar interests and hit it off instantly with just one glance. Unexpectedly, their luck was unstoppable, and they actually landed an airdrop the moment they got to the island!

The two looked at each other——

What else do you want from Isatis root? Isn’t the airdrop more delicious than this?!

"rush!"

The two of them ran towards the open space in the center of the island and appeared near the airdrop almost in the blink of an eye!

Just as they were about to touch the supply bag, Qianyue's bamboo pole flew over in the next second, and with a "bang", they both fell to the ground, grimacing in pain!

"My waist!"

"Fuck, I can't get up..."

Qianyue sneered: "I told you not to move, are you deaf?"

“…” The people in the sea shuddered subconsciously and looked stunned.

They originally thought that since there was such a long distance between the two sides, Qianyue would have to run over first, and then they could take advantage of the chaos to climb ashore.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Qianyue threw the bamboo pole upwards, then raised her leg and kicked it, and the bamboo pole flew out horizontally like a cannonball!

When the bamboo pole fell on the two men with a "bang", they shuddered.

Several people looked at each other and started chatting awkwardly.

"I suddenly feel that... this water seems quite warm."

"It's good for your health to soak in the sea more."

“That’s right…”

Qianyue on the other end finished her harsh words, then took out the last bamboo pole from her backpack and leaned it on the ground.

"Okay, it's okay now."

The Duobao merchant was stunned for a moment, and then he realized belatedly that the other party seemed to be talking to him.

Qianyue raised her hand and patted his shoulder, saying solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you."

The Duobao merchant who was almost hit by her was: "?"

Who is hurting whom?

The man stared down at Qianyue's hand on his shoulder for two seconds. Before he could say anything, Qianyue continued in a serious tone:

"I know what you want to say, and you're right. It was indeed a misunderstanding."

Duobao Merchant:?

What was he thinking? How come he didn't know?

Qianyue said seriously, "They were jealous of your large number of female fans and tried to attack you. Luckily, I reacted quickly and blocked it for you."

Duobao Merchant: “…”

Qianyue: "Oh sorry, I forgot you're a bionic NPC. You probably don't know what a fangirl means. But it's okay. Just remember that I saved you."

"Don't thank me too much. If you feel bad about it, just give it a cheaper price next time—I don't mind a small gift."

The merchant Duobao stared at Qianyue Baba expressionlessly. His speech was so fast, as if he was afraid that Qianyue would speak mid-sentence.

The man suddenly laughed out of anger.

He raised his hand to brush away Qianyue's hand on his shoulder, and while looking around, he slowly adjusted his clothes.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

Qianyue was silent inwardly:...It's really not the right time.

But that's not the case. After all, there were enough embarrassing things between the two of them before, with the cloak and hair pulling.

Although Qianyue is not the kind of mainstream online game player who teams up with friends to gain NPC favorability, she does not want the first NPC favorability she gains to be negative.

So she subconsciously wanted to say something to avoid the embarrassment, but before she could open her mouth, the other party continued talking:

"Well, everyone, continue. I'm leaving now."

Qianyue:?

The Duobao merchant passed her by, lowered the brim of his hat and nodded slightly to the other people. The next second, he disappeared into the void as silently as he had come.

He didn't look at Qianyue again during the whole process.

Qianyue: “…”

I don’t know why, but I always feel that the other person seems a little... tsundere?

Realizing what was going on in her mind, Qianyue took a deep breath and almost bit her tongue.

"I've been reading too many novels lately."

The green post on the forum about a person who fell into a pterosaur's nest and depended on the pterosaur for survival was changed into a serial by the author at the strong request of many readers.

Qianyue, though usually a quiet fan, was incredibly enthusiastic about following the updates. After hearing that reader comments could help authors write faster, she even started leaving comments on every chapter for the first time.

"Um, boss...Isatis root..."

A player's weak voice inquired from behind. Qianyue glanced at them and walked straight towards the airdrop.

This means that she gave up the two isatis root plants and the others can do as they please.

As soon as the players in the water saw her leave, they immediately rushed to the shore, fighting for the space, but they did not dare to make too much noise as if they were afraid of disturbing Qianyue and making her unhappy.

Qianyue heard the noise behind her, but paid no attention to it. Her mind was still on the unfinished novel.

As she walked, she muttered, "I wonder if that author named Lalu has been updating properly these days..."

There aren’t many things in the airdrop, but the quality is good.

Three mental suppressants, three secret foods, three anti-inflammatory drugs, and three rare blueprints. Qianyue was worried that her backpack was empty, so she took them all away, leaving none behind.

With these things, she won't have to worry about supplies for at least two or three days.

When Qianyue took the airdrop, the two people who had been knocked down before kept lying there staring at her unwillingly, as if they wanted to snatch everything from her hands with their minds.

But what could he do if he didn't want to? Qianyue had beaten people up in the game, but usually he'd stop when he had. But these two had repeatedly provoked her, and Qianyue had shown no mercy to them.

The fall was so hard that if it happened in real life, he would probably have to be sent to the hospital for a check-up, let alone in a game.

After being hit by bamboo sticks several times, the two men probably fell into a state of [stiffness] due to their low health points. They need to recover for a while before they can be treated with medicine.

Seeing their eyes wide open like bells, Qianyue felt embarrassed to just leave, so she simply walked over and said hello to them.

"Young man, be humble."

Qianyue tapped their heads with a bamboo stick and sternly warned them, "Don't have those bad ideas in the future. Not everyone is as good-tempered as me."

The two people lying on the ground: "..."

It’s a pity that there was no one else around, otherwise people would probably doubt their lives after hearing the word “good temper”.

After this incident, no one dared to approach the airdrop. After the remaining two bags of Isatis root were picked, the other players gradually returned to their islands.

Only one person did not leave. Instead, he helped Qianyue drag her bamboo raft back to the shore and smiled at her ingratiatingly.

Qianyue walked to the shore: "What's the matter?"

The male player cleared his throat and looked into Qianyue's eyes: "Thank you for saving me just now."

save?

Qianyue was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the other party seemed to be contestant number three.

——However, when he said he wanted to rob her just now, he didn't seem to hesitate at all.

Now that he has discovered that she is profitable, he comes to get close to her?

Qianyue's expression instantly turned colder, and she said expressionlessly, "If you have something to say, just say it."

The male player, knowing he was in the wrong, pretended not to notice her expression change. He brushed his hair with one hand, revealing a relatively fair face. He looked up and gave Qianyue a shy yet grateful smile.

"Although I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, you should have noticed that I'm not very good at swimming... I'm glad you helped me before."

"Since I helped you pull the raft back, could you give me a ride? I'm quite strong and can help you row the boat."

The man was standing in the water at this time, his entire upper body was wet, as if to confirm what he said, "I'm very strong", and the lines of his abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Qianyue, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and a confident smile hung on his handsome face. Under the sunlight, it seemed as if the water droplets on the tips of his hair were sparkling.

Qianyue sat on the bamboo raft and looked down at him, her expression slightly changed. After thinking for a while, she stretched out her hand to him.

The man was overjoyed and immediately reached out to hold her -

“Bang!”

Qianyue slapped the other person's hand hard, shocking him.

The man saw the red mark on his wrist and immediately became annoyed. "What do you mean?! I've waited for you for so long. If you don't want to, forget it. Why hit me?"

Qianyue was also confused.

She was about to ask what this person meant.

She just extended her hand to collect the boat ticket fee, so why did this person extend his hand to her?

From the very beginning, this person was clearing his throat and fiddling with his hair.

Doesn't he know that getting his hair wet and pushing it back will only reveal the fact that he has a high hairline?

Did he want to get on board directly and have sex for free?

Qianyue's face suddenly turned dark.

She said disdainfully, "Didn't your kindergarten teacher teach you that fare evasion is shameful?"
