Chapter Ninety-Six: The Bet

“Mr. Jin, are we just supposed to let that woman lead us by the nose like this? Look at them, living the high life, relying on their space-manipulation abilities…”

"She has spatial abilities, so she must have a lot of supplies, right? There are only five of them, while we have more than twenty... Really... can't we just take them?"

Everyone chimed in with their opinions until the last person said, "Really, can't we just take it?"

Everyone fell silent instantly, but their breathing suddenly quickened. Could they really not try to grab it? What if they could?!

"When we used to play games, if we killed the other player, we could get equipment from them. If we killed her, would the items in her inventory..." drop out?

This sentence touched many people's hearts.

How much stuff does that woman surnamed Mu have in her spatial storage? Look at her, she can just casually take out fresh fruits and vegetables and even give them to Jing Chen... She must have a lot of good stuff in her space!

Among the twenty-odd people, many had greedy looks in their eyes.

"There's no chance of getting any equipment!" Mu Xiaoxiao thought bitterly, her urge to scream suppressed by the crowd's discussion.

In my past life, some people killed space-type ability users with this idea, but they ended up getting nothing!

But Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn't tell them the truth. They'd better go and kill Mu Qingyu!

Mu Xiaoxiao became excited again at this thought. It would be best if this group of people rushed up and killed Mu Qingyu. Both sides would be injured, and they would not only lose the resources in the space, but also help her get rid of the damned Mu Qingyu.

Perhaps after Mu Qingyu dies, she can still get Mu Qingyu's blood jade bracelet!

But thinking about the Blood Jade Bracelet, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand why the bracelet wasn't on Mu Qingyu's wrist. She had tried it in her previous life; if she didn't wear the bracelet, she couldn't use the Blood Jade Bracelet's space.

If she gives the Blood Jade Bracelet to someone else, because the Blood Jade Bracelet has been bound to her with her blood, the person wearing the Blood Jade Bracelet will not be able to open the Blood Jade Bracelet's space.

So, where is Mu Qingyu's bracelet? Where did she hide it? But if she's not wearing the bracelet, how does she use her spatial abilities? Could it be that Mu Qingyu really has spatial powers?

Impossible! In her previous life, Mu Qingyu was just an ordinary and useless physical ability user.

But... doesn't Mu Qingyu still have the power of fire and electricity in this life? Everything has changed. Could it be that Mu Qingyu has really awakened the power of space?

The people around her were making a ruckus, and Mu Xiaoxiao's mind was in a mess.

Jin Qinjiu was just as troubled as Mu Xiaoxiao.

His emotions were fluctuating like a rollercoaster. First of all, he really disliked Mu Qingyu.

Secondly, he agreed with some of the people speaking; for example, he couldn't let Mu Qingyu lead him by the nose. From the moment the riot broke out in the underground air-raid shelter, Mu Qingyu had been setting the pace, and he had been following Mu Qingyu's rhythm, which gradually caused him to lose the initiative.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by the "loot" promise the subordinate made. If he could really "loot" the items from Mu Qingyu's spatial storage, whether or not he made a deal with the other party wouldn't matter.

Even if Mu Qingyu is powerful, there are only five of them. There is also a person in a wheelchair who is also a superhuman, but his superhuman ability is a non-combat superhuman ability, so he doesn't even need to be counted.

This was Jin Qinjiu's truest and most restless thought.

However, aside from this thought, Jin Qinjiu's rationality clearly told him that he couldn't do it, as it would be a losing proposition!

What if the spatial resources don't "explode" out? If Mu Qingyu isn't dead, there's still a possibility of exchanging resources with her. But if she dies, the spatial resources will also dissipate.

Secondly, confronting someone like Mu Qingyu would definitely result in significant losses. If Mu Qingyu realizes she can't win, she could try to capture the leader first. If Mu Qingyu targets only him, and he dies, even if Mu Qingyu drops equipment, it won't be of any use to Jin Qinjiu.

Most importantly, if Jin Qinjiu really dared to lead people to do such a thing, the people on the rooftop would be thrown into chaos.

They can rob Mu Qingyu today, but Jing Chen and his group can rob them tomorrow. Even if they get supplies, their own members will fight over them!

That's human nature. Once evil is started and no one stops it, it will get out of control.

Jin Qinjiu was also torn internally, and finally he shouted: "All of you shut up!"

Once everyone had quieted down, Jin Qinjiu rubbed his temples and said, "Don't even think about robbery, it's such a thankless task! If anyone wants to go, leave my group now. I won't stop you, but your lives and actions are none of my concern!"

Several people in the group heard this and exchanged glances, their eyes filled with obvious disdain and resentment.

“But you’re all right in some ways. We can’t let her lead us by the nose and make everything she says unacceptable. I need to think about how to handle this. Everyone, let’s disperse for now.” Jin Qinjiu gave the order, deciding not to discuss the issue with so many people anymore.

One sentence from each person is really a headache.

On the other side, Mu Qingyu and her five friends were happily eating sweet potatoes and chatting.

Mo Huaiyu said, "Jin Qinjiu's group is experiencing a lot of emotional fluctuations. Some of them have a very strong murderous aura. We need to be careful."

After exhausting his abilities yesterday, he felt that his powers had improved again. Although he couldn't hear what Jin Qinjiu and the others were saying, he could clearly sense their emotional fluctuations.

He was just idling around when he saw Jin Qinjiu and the others whispering together, so he tried to use his mental power to investigate.

"They really are after us!" Mu Qingrong took a big bite of the fragrant sweet potato and mumbled, "If they dare to come any closer, we'll kill them all."

Mu Qingyu looked at her younger brother with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. Just a month ago, her brother was a gentle and kind person, but now he could say things like "I'll kill you one by one."

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Han Yu said with a light laugh, "How about we bet on whether Jin Qinjiu dares to come and kill someone? The stake, well, how about some fresh fruit?" His eyes brightened: "I bet they dare to come!"

Han Yu's abacus beads were practically hitting Mu Qingyu in the face. He didn't have any fresh fruit; he was just eyeing the fresh fruit in Mu Qingyu's spatial storage. He probably thought that since Mu Qingyu had fresh vegetables, she must also have fresh fruit.

“I bet Qin Jiu won’t come! But—” Mu Qingyu drawled, “but his men might not come.”
