Chapter 460 Abandoned Zone 7
Yu Xunge acted as if the conversation had never happened, saying, "What price? Ah... You are my respected senior, I certainly won't cheat you. I want an SSS-level or higher sealing skill, an SSS-level teleportation skill, and an SSS-level time-related skill."
Not wanting to waste time haggling, she directly stated her bottom line.
Maple Syrup wasn't one to waste too much time on serious matters. She shook her head: "I can't give you the most precious and rare skills, such as sealing techniques, time techniques, and teleportation techniques. Nor can I turn what I have into skill books for you."
Yu Xunge immediately changed it to: "Ten withered leaves from the golden tree."
Maple Syrup refused again: "I haven't received such a low-level reward in a long time."
Yu Xunge casually replied, "Then three high-level ones will also work."
Maple Syrup: "You're not in a hurry anymore?"
No matter how many times, Yu Xunge was amazed by Maple Sugar's observational skills. She felt that she hadn't shown that she was in a hurry, and she said helplessly, "I'm in a hurry."
Maple Syrup asked, "What price must be paid for leaving?"
Yu Xunge answered decisively: "Fifty thousand jewels."
She wasn't worried that Maple Syrup would deduce anything from this. Anyway, there was still one more procedure after finding the gatekeeper. This was a backup plan that B8017913 had left for himself, and the other machine races didn't know about it.
Even if the players and the machine race find the gatekeeper, they still can't get out.
Unless someone like her comes along and delivers the message...
Yu Xunge's pupils suddenly contracted, his back straightened abruptly, and his brows furrowed.
A few seconds later, with a sigh, her body relaxed again—she had been outmaneuvered by B8017913 after all!
No, it can't be called scheming. This is the result calculated by B8017913 based on her personality and the current situation.
She didn't know how the mechanical beings communicated with each other, but before Yu Xunge arrived at the garbage mountain, the mechanical beings were silent. They started chattering away from the moment she approached them.
This suggests that they likely do not need language to communicate with each other.
If B8017913 knew about the situation here, then considering their own personality...
If B8017913 had told her this news, she would have definitely come back to sell it if there was still enough time, instead of letting such a huge profit slip through her fingers.
Given her combat prowess and cautious nature, she would definitely find the most skilled player and sell this information in one go.
What will the strong do when they are banished to the wasteland?
Whether it's suppressing all players, taking all the profits at once, and then informing them of the news, or rallying players to counterattack the mining area, it's the scenario that B8017913 wants to see.
At that time... a large number of players and mechanical race members will return to the mining area at the same time...
This is B8017913's revenge on the mining area!
Yu Xunge clenched her fists. She had to get back quickly, deal with things, and leave as soon as possible. The mining area was bound to descend into chaos!
As for B8017913... Although everything was her choice, looking back now, she still couldn't escape the feeling of being schemed against, which left her with mixed feelings.
She wasn't afraid of B8017913. Since B8017913 was at her disposal, the more powerful B8017913 became, the happier she would be. What she needed to do was to suppress B8017913 in the days to come and be constantly on guard against it plotting against her.
What she feared was that B8017913 had deduced her course of action based on her personality, and she was actually "obediently" going up.
This made her feel uncontrollably fearful and uneasy.
B8017913 has only known her for a short time, yet he was able to analyze her personality, instincts, and behavior to outmaneuver her. What about other beings or skills? Is it possible for them to achieve the same level of skill?
Just as Yu Xunge was deep in thought, Maple Sugar was also considering the pros and cons of the matter.
She knew that the answer from "Seeking Songs While Carrying Wine" was incomplete, but that was normal; otherwise, she would have questioned the intelligence of "Seeking Songs While Carrying Wine".
Leaving is expensive, but not too expensive; most players who survive to reach the abandoned area can afford it.
Maple Syrup glanced at the clusters of players nearby and in the distance, which numbered at least two thousand, with more players likely to be found further away, and more new players would continue to arrive.
If she can control the situation, this is an amazing asset.
No wonder Zaijiu Xunge sold this opportunity to her; it was the only way she could maximize her profits. If she had dared to sell this information herself, she wouldn't have been able to leave the abandoned area, let alone make any money.
Maple Syrup closed her eyes, hesitating whether to make a big profit or to rally these players to fight back in the mining area and cause chaos.
For a moment, both the real and fake oak owls fell silent.
Just then, the B8017913 that Yu Xunge was hanging around her neck vibrated, as if reminding Yu Xunge to hurry up.
This was their secret code, a vibration that occurred when there was only half an hour left.
Yu Xunge snapped out of her daze and looked at Maple Syrup: "How is it?"
Maple Syrup: "Want a self-created skill on par with [Cheers]?"
Yu Xunge immediately exclaimed, "Yes!!!"
Maple Syrup chuckled, but there was little disdain in her laughter; rather, it was mostly helplessness: "You haven't even learned how to toast, and you want to learn something new, without even asking me what it is?"
Yu Xunge: "Anything is fine, as long as it's something you created, it must be a divine skill!"
Maple Syrup: "...So this is how you managed to completely fool Mist Blade?"
Yu Xunge: "No, I don't need to use this on Mist Blade Moon Emperor."
Maple Syrup nodded in satisfaction.
Yu Xunge: "Mist Blade Moon Emperor isn't as hard to coax as you."
Maple Syrup: "..." You're really fearless when you're being cheeky.
Maple Syrup handed over a feather: "Here, take it back and learn it yourself. This move is called [Drunkard]."
Yu Xunge took the feather, opened a temporary pocket on the inside of his clothes close to his heart, put the orange feather called [Drunkard's Skill Memory Feather] inside, and even patted it carefully.
Maple Syrup crossed her arms and quietly watched Yu Xunge's demeanor. She said, "Do you want to come back to Polar Day City with me? I know what you're worried about and what you're concerned about. I'm not as obsessive or crazy as you think. I'll take you as my student."
Yu Xunge raised her eyes and looked directly into Maple Sugar's eyes. She said, "I will go when Zhelan is incorporated into Zaijiu."
Maple Syrup clicked her tongue, then laughed in exasperation at Yu Xunge's words. As she laughed, she uttered a curse word, a Senhai slang term, something like "brat" or "stinky bird egg."
