Qianyue first opened the beggar player’s backpack.

I have to say that the other party is indeed a professional beggar, and the level of poverty in his backpack is very worthy of the title of beggar.

Qianyue turned the entire backpack upside down, but only found 5 pieces of black bread, 4 pieces of isatis root, 3 pieces of mental suppressant, and some inconspicuous prop fragments. It was probably not even a fraction of what she had.

Qianyue was speechless: "...So poor."

No wonder this man was so desperate to get his hands on ______. He must have known that with only the supplies he had, he wouldn't survive past the next day or the day after.

Qianyue turned around and opened Hong Mingyuan's backpack again.

From just their first two encounters, she could tell Hong Mingyuan wasn't a simple man; his mind was full of holes. As expected, his backpack contained far more than the beggar player's. And because of his professional talent, he also had several blueprints in his bag.

Some of them were just ordinary drawings, such as barbecue, gauze, etc. Another one was about architecture.

[Blueprint: Bamboo Fence (Special)]

Description: Gather all the necessary materials to create a ten-meter-long bamboo fence. This fence can be used to defend against attacks from frenzied creatures. Durability is a random value between 30 and 50.

Required materials: Bamboo x5, Prop Fragment (Metal) x2.

Crazy creature?

Qianyue guessed this was referring to players who went berserk due to low Spirit. However, she'd always been a homebody, and during the Dark Rock incident and the 10-square-meter island dungeon, she'd barely interacted with other players, almost forgetting this setting existed.

"Crazy..." Qianyue's only recollection was the night she'd hidden in the city during the first round of the dungeon. She couldn't quite recall the specifics, but she remembered that the players who went berserk were a bit like zombies in apocalyptic movies. Even normal players would fall into the negative state of [Infected] after being scratched by them.

Qianyue thought to herself, "It seems like this bamboo fence is pretty good."

But she didn't have any bamboo in her hand now - she had quite a lot in the last round of the dungeon, but unfortunately, after she passed the level, those things were all cleared away.

However, in a war instance, explosions could happen at any moment, so things like bamboo fences wouldn't seem to be of much use here. Qianyue thought for a moment and put it away for the time being.

Yuan Dongqi, who was standing by, saw that she had been staring at the blueprint for several minutes, as if she hadn't noticed anything happening above her head. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and fell towards Qianyue with his shoulders hunched.

Then he was pushed away with a slap.

Stay away from me.

Qianyue conveyed this meaning with her eyes but did not speak.

There was a sound of footsteps overhead.

Two players are talking:

Player A: "It's the middle of nowhere here, why did you bring me here?"

Player B said absentmindedly: "...It's all ruins. How can you tell it's a desolate place?"

Player A seemed a little scared: "There's not even a single person here."

Player B was speechless: "Are you stupid? I'm looking for a place like this..."

The footsteps of the two people slowly moved away, and the sound disappeared.

Yuan Dongqi was tense the whole time, while Qianyue was slumped against the wall as usual, as if she was not afraid of being found at all.

The footsteps completely disappeared. She turned around and looked at Yuan Dongqi in surprise, raising her eyebrows and saying, "I thought you would take the opportunity to make some noise or something."

Yuan Dongqi: "..."

He is not stupid. If he makes a noise at this time, it would be strange if Qianyue doesn't kill him first.

The young master wanted to speak up to clear his name, but he forgot his situation and the first thing he said was - "Mmmm."

“…” Yuan Dongqi’s face became even darker.

Qianyue was immediately amused: "Do you want me to take the stuff out of your mouth first? But first of all, I'd like to say this, it's best not to do anything weird."

Yuan Dongqi hesitated for a moment, as if carefully analyzing the meaning of Qianyue's words, and then nodded slowly.

Qianyue reached out and took the cloth out of his mouth. The latter quickly made two "Pooh" sounds, his brows almost furrowed together.

He lowered his voice and asked, "What on earth did you stuff it with?"

Qianyue glanced at him with a half-smile, "Don't worry, it's not a smelly sock or anything like that."

Yuan Dongqi's face froze and he felt unwell.

When Qianyue saw his expression, she immediately felt happy.

The moment Yuan Dongqi jumped down, Qianyue didn't recognize him at first, but felt that his voice seemed somewhat familiar, so out of caution, Qianyue just knocked him out at first and didn't use any heavy hands.

Later, when she was tying the rope, she vaguely recognized that this guy seemed to be a boy from the Yuan family.

Although no one in the circle knows what Qianyue looks like, because Qianchi is at home, she often sees related updates on her brother's social account.

Qian Chi and Yuan Dongqi were in the same small group, so Qianyue had seen this man's face many times in group photos and recognized him quickly.

In addition, in the copy of the Dark Rock incident, Yuan Dongqi and the two brothers of the Du family acted together, so Qianyue roughly guessed his identity.

Tsk, this is troublesome.

Qianyue didn't want to leave the cat ear hole that she had dug with great difficulty, but she couldn't attack the younger generation in the circle, so she had to keep him tied up for the time being.

Fortunately, Yuan Dongqi didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Although he was tied up, he could feel that the backpack on his back was still there, and the weight inside seemed to have not changed.

The only thing missing was the rifle.

Yuan Dongqi felt a little surprised, and subconsciously glanced at the other two empty backpacks beside Qianyue.

Although she can use the items in the backpack, due to system rules, Qianyue cannot use the two backpacks themselves.

Even though the five minutes had passed, Qianyue could only take the items out and could not put them back in. Therefore, Qianyue was surrounded by a pile of supplies, and her posture was as if she was sitting on a mountain of gold and silver.

Yuan Dongqi frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

He had personally witnessed Qianyue carrying the two backpacks in from outside. Although she appeared calm on the surface, the joy she displayed when she unpacked the backpacks was so obvious that it was hard for Yuan Dongqi not to notice.

So he became more and more confused - since this person was so short of supplies, why was his backpack still kept?

She didn't take his things, but she also didn't let him go. Could it be that... she wanted to rape him?

Yuan Dongqi paused for a moment, his expression subtle.

...not really.

This person wouldn't let him get close at all.

——Is this kidnapping?

But this is a game, the internal beta test quota has been divided up long ago, and players have no way to communicate with the outside world except to die. Even if he was kidnapped, his family would not be able to get into the game to negotiate for money.

——What's more, isn't this just bringing trouble to the three-dimensional world?

So why is that...

Yuan Dongqi squatted stiffly in this narrow cave, tied tightly with a nylon rope. He couldn't move at all and was so frustrated that he began to doubt his life.

He was puzzled for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion, and his pupils trembled instantly -

Could it be that this guy wanted to tie him up and use him as food reserve?
