Chapter 147 Competition
Qiao Mei looked at the distance where the white mist was slowly dissipating: "We only beat Aye and the others. We haven't completely won this game yet. Since we've come this far, why not try to see if we can encounter the BOSS and farm some materials? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come all this way?"
Furthermore, none of the maps for Star Monsters are customizable; getting one depends entirely on luck.
She had finally managed to get this, so of course she wasn't going to just quit so easily.
After saying that, she looked at Xu Heyu and indicated that she would give him the position of captain.
"Give it to me?" As things stand, Qiao Mei is clearly more suitable to be the team leader than him.
Qiao Mei nodded: "Yes, your level is higher than mine, right? If there's an emergency, you can protect us more after you give the order."
As she said this, because they were separated by the mecha, Xu Heyu didn't see Qiao Mei's slightly guilty look. After hearing her reasons, he felt that they made some sense and accepted the important task of captain.
Where he couldn't see her, Qiao Mei breathed a sigh of relief and followed him.
Without Aye and the others, the remaining ones are all uncivilized interstellar monsters. Even if they are difficult to deal with, with the powerful Qiao Mei and Xu Heyu around, they can always turn danger into safety.
When only the last boss in the image was left, Qiao Mei saw the final boss, the Twin-Headed Black Whale, whose drop rate was said to be five percent, delivered right to her doorstep. With a complicated expression, she glanced in the direction where Xu Heyu was.
She knew it!
Generally, as long as you're the main character, the chances of encountering something like this that others would never get are extremely low; the main character is bound to be blessed with good luck.
If she were leading the team, even after defeating all the interstellar monsters here, they might not have a chance to encounter it.
After clearing her mind of these thoughts, Qiao Mei focused her attention and, together with Xu Heyu and the others, began to deal with the interstellar BOSS in front of them.
The two-headed black whale is of intermediate level, and the materials it drops are only C-grade ①.
However, scarcity drives up prices. Because materials related to the Two-Headed Black Whale are extremely rare on the market, their selling price is almost comparable to that of B+ grade drop materials.
Qiao Mei and the others each received one, and when they left the battlefield, they were all in high spirits, except for Xu Heyu, who had already experienced a lot.
Aye and the others were still waiting for Qiao Mei and the others to come out when they discovered that Qiao Mei and the others had actually cleared the level and even obtained the dropped materials. They were extremely envious.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you guys to be so lucky, but next time, when we have another chance to fight, you might not be so lucky!" Ah Ye is a man who can accept defeat, but he still has to say something tough.
Qiao Mei didn't even lift her eyelids, and nodded, saying, "If you want to get it done next time, the price will have to double."
This time, she even invited so many good friends to play with her for 50,000 Star Coins. Strictly speaking, she still lost out!
Aya: "? You're just obsessed with money, aren't you?!"
Qiao Mei ignored him and directly led Xu Heyu and the others to quit the game. She then privately messaged A Ye, asking him to transfer the 50,000 Star Coins gambling money to her as soon as possible.
After removing the connector, he looked at Shang Duojin and the others, who were also somewhat exhausted, and asked, "When the 50,000 interstellar coins are transferred later, we'll split them equally among the four of us, 12,500 interstellar coins each. Is that alright?"
Shang Duojin, who wasn't short of money, waved his hand and said, "No need for me, you can share it with that bad woman and the others."
Shu Qingqing also didn't want it: "I don't want it either. We won this time entirely because of your command, Qiaoqiao. We came here to help. How can good friends come to help and expect to make money off you?"
"Yes, Qingqing is right. Little Rose, you can keep this money yourself. Strictly speaking, I was able to get this money because of you. I also have training funds from the Federal Army, so I don't need this."
None of them intended to take it, and if Qiao Mei said anything more, it would hurt their feelings, so they had no choice but to give up the idea. After having another dinner at Shang Duojin's house, they carried Ao Cang and planned to return to Green Field Villa.
Xu Heyu and she lived in the same area, so they were naturally going the same way.
Walking out from the mansion that resembles a wealthy family estate, there is a long avenue lined with plane trees.
Before long, the air was filled with the strong smell of earth.
Qiao Mei glanced at the gloomy sky and felt that it was about to rain.
He quickened his pace and headed to the airfield where he could operate aircraft.
She left quickly, and so did Xu Heyu.
After belatedly realizing something was wrong, she turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you following me?"
Although they still live in the same villa area, they don't live in the same house.
"Splash..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the rain began to fall without warning.
But the rain didn't reach her, because Ao Cang had already used his lightning relatives to create an electric shield for her to keep out the rain, and also separated her from Xu Heyu.
With nothing to cover him, Xu Heyu, like the little white wolf beside him, became soaked to the bone.
But Ao Cang acted as if he hadn't seen it, and still didn't make one for him. Instead, he tightened his dragon body wrapped around Qiao Mei and asked her, "An'an, aren't we going to keep going?"
Qiao Mei wanted to leave, but Xu Heyu seemed to be hiding something from her.
After using her lightning companions to create an electric shield for him and the little white wolf Chasing Wind, she looked at him and repeated the question she had just asked: why were they so close?
“Aircraft…” Xu Heyu was a little embarrassed. He didn’t dare to meet Qiao Mei’s gaze with his deep blue eyes. Instead, his long eyelashes covered his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in them.
"Aircraft? What's wrong with aircraft?" Qiao Mei's reaction time was a little slow.
Xu Heyu had no choice but to be more explicit: "It's hard to hit aircraft here, so I was thinking of asking if I could ride in one of yours, but I was too embarrassed to ask you before, afraid you would overthink it."
"That's it?" She was speechless, wondering what it was. She then told Xu Heyu to follow her.
"You helped me so much today, it's no trouble for me to give you a ride."
Ao Cang was displeased upon hearing this, and the dragon's grip on Qiao Mei's neck loosened considerably.
But Qiao Mei was focused on talking to Xu Heyu and didn't notice anything at all.
Xu Heyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll have to trouble you. If I could, I wouldn't want to either."
If he hadn't said that, Qiao Mei might have thought there was something going on behind his actions.
But since he spoke first, she didn't think much of it, waved her hand, and told him to hurry up.
After all, using lightning summons is very mentally taxing.
Once aboard the aircraft, Xu Heyu looked at the girl who was focused on piloting it and, remembering the title he had just heard from Ao Cang, couldn't resist asking her about it out of curiosity.
"Little Rose, is An'an your nickname? I've never heard your aunt mention it."
① Grade C: The materials dropped by Star Monsters are ranked from lowest to highest as follows: C C+ B B+ A A+ S S+
Ao Cang: Why did you still put a rain cover on him?! (fuming)
Qiao Mei: Ah, this........
