Su Lin looked up and followed the sound.
A beautiful figure appeared at the entrance. Su Lin could only see her face clearly when she carefully walked around the pool of blood and severed limbs.
It's Anna.
She tiptoed past the corpses scattered on the ground, her brow furrowed, as if afraid of getting her hands and feet tainted by the filth.
At least she was much more dignified than the fat man, remaining calm even in the brutal environment that resembled a battlefield.
"You have grown a lot."
Su Lin looked Anna up and down as she walked towards him, nodding approvingly: "You adapt better than I expected. What about that person? Is he dead, or did he escape?"
"I killed him."
Anna spoke calmly, glancing curiously at Xiao Linlin in the man's arms before lowering her head and placing the backpack she was holding on the ground.
“His backpack was bigger than mine, with 25 compartments, so I threw away my own backpack and some of my supplies and put all my most valuable things in it.”
After Anna finished speaking, she stood silently before Su Lin, her body lying in a pool of blood, her beauty reflected in the blood, her expression unchanging.
As expected of a girl who has killed someone with her own hands, she has undergone a complete transformation.
"Well done."
Su Lin praised him, then reached into his backpack to explore the supplies inside.
As Anna said, the team's gains were quite good, mostly blue-grade supplies, very few green-grade items, and none white-grade items at all.
It's clear that these guys either killed a group of people or looted a lot of supplies along the way.
Su Lin preferred the former, because it was impossible for a team focused on searching for supplies to arrive at the mission area before him.
"Um?"
Su Lin suddenly frowned, and withdrew his right hand, revealing a small glass bead about the size of a ping-pong ball in his palm.
The bead was surrounded by a faint yet dazzling red glow, which made Xiao Linlin exclaim with a cute expression, "It's so beautiful!"
"Red materials and handicraft collectibles."
Su Lin waved the beads in his hand at Anna and calmly asked, "What does this mean?"
【Crystal Stripped of Magic】: A collectible craft item; it comes from a fantasy world and was once held by a powerful witch, but has now completely lost its magic and only has collectible value.
[Item Value]: 280,000 resource coins.
"It doesn't mean anything, it's just here."
Anna calmly said, "I put everything in, but I can't put in the 100,000 reward from the murder and plunder mission."
"I think that now that I've already got 100,000 resource coins, you should be the one to choose the rest first."
"After all, we are teammates, you made the plan, and you took on most of the risks, so you deserve more compensation."
Before Anna could finish speaking, Xiao Linlin suddenly leaned close to Su Lin's ear and said, "Big brother, she's scared. She's afraid you won't want her anymore."
"Forehead..."
Anna paused, her gaze shifting to the adorable little girl. Her messy hair and dirty face couldn't hide her cute, innocent face.
But Anna didn't sense the girl's innocence at that moment; she only saw a hint of cunning in those empty eyes.
This little girl, with just one sentence, revealed my true thoughts.
Anna remained silent, neither admitting nor defending herself.
Su Lin looked at her with a half-smile. He understood what this woman was thinking. An hour ago, Anna had the absolute right to choose.
They could either play along and elope with Xiao Song, or follow Su Lin's plan, kill Xiao Song, and bring back the supplies.
But no matter what choice she makes, a beautiful woman must rely on one of them, and Anna doesn't believe she can leave this game on her own.
This is a lack of self-confidence, an inferiority complex when facing dangerous environments.
But it was precisely because of this mentality that Su Lin could easily manipulate her. The smarter Anna was, the more she knew which of the two men was the best solution.
Undoubtedly, Su Lin, who is indifferent to women, willing to share some of the benefits with his teammates, and powerful and almost invincible... is the only choice.
As for Xiao Song, no matter how many good qualities and promises he had, Anna felt nauseous and had a deep-seated aversion to him just thinking about his greedy eyes looking at her.
Having made her choice, Anna naturally had to consider how to further gain Sulin's trust.
The more she learned about Su Lin, the more she realized that this man had his own code of conduct and his own unique set of rules.
Sulin could be so generous as to let her keep all the profits, but that would alienate men from her, which is not what Anna wants.
Handing over the most valuable revolutionary materials is a unique form of "surrender".
"Give me the bag, this is for you."
Su Lin pulled over his 25-compartment backpack and tossed his other 25-compartment backpack to Anna, which was filled with all sorts of "junk supplies" that the fat man had collected.
"Here, this is for you too."
Su Lin tossed the red crystal to Anna, who hurriedly caught it, looking somewhat surprised: "You don't want it? It's worth 280,000!"
"Not worth mentioning."
Su Lin looked at Anna with a smile. He might have cared during the day, but things were different now.
The value of 280,000 is not even a fraction of his own earnings, so there's no need to be greedy for it anymore. After all, he still needs Anna's information gathering talent.
Necessary sacrifices are made in order to gain more benefits.
"Big brother doesn't care, big brother has better ones!"
