Chapter 67: Polar Night? The City That Never Sleeps



In the end, the Rabbit District successfully won the first place in the promotion match.

After the battle for the top spot was no longer going on, Qi Mi naturally won the battle. Not only did he get all the supplies distributed by the city lord, he also used two cans to win all the supplies bet by other districts.

As a result, there were so many resources that even a pickup truck couldn't fit them all. The driver of the convertible pulled in some more and only then was they all loaded.

Qi Mi sat at the back of the convertible with a frown on his face.

Judging by the others' shocked reactions, it seemed like the battle for the top spot in the arena had never been stopped before. Why did it suddenly stop when she participated this time? She had obtained these resources out of nowhere. Was it a coincidence?

Could it be that her luck has improved?

Lang Yu understood what she was worried about and enthusiastically speculated on several possible scenarios for her:

1. The Tiger Zone was frightened by her sudden rise, and to be on the safe side, the game was suspended.

2. Tiger District was not afraid, but Qi Mi's appearance caught him off guard, so he planned to eliminate her as a threat.

"Or maybe a bit of both. After all, the Rabbit District has been suppressed for so long, and you've already qualified for the top-ranking competition right out of the gate. Anyone watching would have to think twice."

Lang Yu was leaning leisurely on the chair. When he turned around, he found that Qi Mi, who was sitting next to him, was staring at him blankly. Immediately, his whole body became uncomfortable. He stood up silently and sat in an obedient posture.

He cleared his throat, his eyes dodging: "Why are you looking at me?"

Qi Mi stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly raised the corners of his lips: "How amazing! How come you know everything I'm thinking?"

"You've been sulking ever since you learned the top-ranking competition wasn't going to take place. Even a fool could see that, okay?"

Qi Fan: "So what do you think Tiger District will have planned to deal with me?"

"I don't know, but I'm here anyway. I won't let them hurt you...you." Lang Yu made amends in time. Seeing that Qi Mi didn't show any deep doubts, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the Rabbit Zone won, the corresponding electricity was also delivered.

The fighting arena is held once a week, which means that the entire rabbit area will be brightly lit for the next seven days.

At the hotel entrance, hundreds of people in the Rabbit District were standing on tiptoe waiting for the heroes to return.

As soon as the truck appeared, there was thunderous applause.

As soon as Eva jumped out of the truck, a group of people rushed over to ask her how she was doing, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Qi Siyun rushed to the front and ran towards Qi Mi, giving her a big hug: "Qi Mi! You really bring honor to our Big Rabbit District Chief! Did you beat those bastards silly? Next time you go to the fighting arena, I will follow you!"

Qi Mi couldn't stand such strong enthusiasm, and hurriedly struggled out of her arms and punched her: "Are you afraid of losing, so you don't want to go with us this time?"

Qi Siyun chuckled, "Even though I didn't go, my heart, and the heart of my Big Rabbit District, will always be with you... Besides, if I went, who would prepare dumplings for you?"

"Are the dumplings ready?"

"It's already prepared, just waiting to be put into the pot!"

Just as he was halfway through his words, the Rabbit District Chief came over with tears in his eyes, took Qi Fan's hand and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, thank you so much... Our Rabbit District finally has light, thank you."

"Oh, why are you crying when you are so happy? Let's go back to the village and eat dumplings!" Qi Siyun said excitedly.

When the children heard this, they all shouted excitedly: "Dumpling smash! Dumpling smash! Dumpling smash!"

The streets, which were deserted yesterday, became very lively because of the lights and laughter.

The crowd walked towards the brightly lit village. Under the care of Zheng Yuanyuan and Du Rui, the children chased and played in the streets, a rare occurrence.

Looking at this scene, Qi Mi suddenly felt that everything he had done today was worth it.

"You said, if they could see it, they would be very happy, right?"

"Huh?" Qi Mi turned his head and saw Qi Siyun looking up at the six very abrupt ropes on the black electric wires.

By chance, a gust of night wind blew at this moment, and the drooping rope swayed in the air, as if responding to her.

Qi Mi patted her shoulder: "Yes, I will."

Although the bungalows in the Rabbit Zone are old and dilapidated, the yard at the door is not small at all. Several round tables placed side by side do not feel crowded and can accommodate a banquet for a hundred people.

Qi Mi thought she could eat hot dumplings as soon as she walked in, but when she looked, she saw that they were only in the process of kneading the dough. She looked at Qi Siyun silently, with the word "speechless" written on her face.

Qi Siyun hurriedly tried to make amends: "Don't look at me like that. You know there are no resources in the Rabbit District. I've already asked them to get the dumpling fillings. If you don't believe me, just look."

Looking in the direction of her finger, I saw a large bowl of green cabbage chops on the table, without a trace of red or meat.

Qi Mi was about to speak when Qi Siyun raised his hand in time to stop him: "Don't worry, I know what you want to say, I'll go chop the meat right away!"

After saying that, he ran into the house.

Qi Fan: "..."

After several battles, she was starving, and the food packages she got were not something that could be eaten directly. Now she was like a hungry wolf, searching everywhere for something to eat.

As if they had telepathy, Zheng Yuanyuan came over and handed her a sausage.

"Teacher Zheng, you are a female Bodhisattva!" Qi Mi immediately tore open the package and took a bite, and then he felt alive again.

Zheng Yuanyuan smiled and said, "The Bodhisattva you want to thank is not me, but someone else."

"Who is it?"

"Langyu, he got some food from somewhere and said you must be hungry, so he asked me to bring some to you." Zheng Yuanyuan said as she opened her bag, which was filled with a lot of bread, sausages and other things that could fill her stomach. These were all things Langyu had just given to him.

Qi Mi looked up, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Where is he?"

"I don't know. He said he had something to do and went out for a while."

"oh……"

Qi Mi was chewing a sausage and thinking, when he suddenly felt someone approaching from behind and quickly turned around and stepped back.

Yue Xi missed and stood there frozen in the position as if he was about to cover his eyes.

She also chose the Rabbit Area yesterday, but because of their status as advanced practitioners, they were sent directly to the village instead of waiting at the express hotel.

As for the express hotels built at the junction of the various districts, only those who had not yet advanced would stay there. They were euphemistically called "favorable treatment" by the city lord, but in reality, it depended on whether the district chiefs were willing to accept them. If they did, they would become members of the district, but if they did not, those staying at the express hotels would be at the mercy of fate.

After hearing this, Qi Mi felt more and more that Rabbit District had made the right choice. Not only did these people not ignore them, they even saved food for them.

No wonder Qi Siyun is so determined to stay here.

After eating and drinking, everyone started to clean up one after another.

Qi Mi and his group were treated as lucky stars by the people in the Rabbit District and were not allowed to work at all. Zheng Yuanyuan wanted to help wash the dishes but was kicked out.

Qi Siyun had no intention of working. After dinner, he pulled Qi Mi to sit by the wall and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Let's find a way to meet the city lord first."

Qi fans are still very worried when this is mentioned. After all, considering the overall strength of the Rabbit District, it is impossible to lead them to the top of the overall ranking.

Although she won by chance today, the total score in the Rabbit Zone was only a few dozen points.

In the overall rankings, both the Tiger and Wolf Divisions had over 800 points. If the Rabbit Division wanted to advance, they would have to fight at least a dozen more matches. The fighting arena only held once a week, which was a waste of time; they couldn't possibly stay there forever to compete.

"Actually, if you're in a hurry, you can try a 1v1 match."

"What race?"

Qi Siyun: "It's a competition where low-scoring players challenge high-scoring players. You challenge them individually. If you win, your points and positions on the overall leaderboard will be swapped. That's why it's called a swap... I'm telling you this because you won the arena today. You're quite capable, so you should give it a try. Challenge the current number one on the overall leaderboard to a swap. If you win, you'll directly have over 800 points and can meet the city lord."

"That's a good idea..." Qi Mi was delighted. If she were to fight alone, she wouldn't necessarily lose if she tried hard. This was more realistic than dragging her family along with the Rabbit District people to compete for the rankings.

As she was thinking, she caught a glimpse of Lang Yu walking towards her from outside the yard in the form of a milk ball, and she quickly waved to him.

Lang Yu paused and walked over: "What's wrong?"

"The dumplings I left for you are still warm."

Qi Mi smiled as she pulled down her down jacket and took out a fresh-keeping box of dumplings from it. She kept them covered in her clothes for fear that they would get cold.

Lang Yu took it and felt her warmth still on the surface. He smiled brightly: "Well, thank you."

He moved a small stool and sat not far away, put the box of dumplings on his legs, and ate with great interest.

Although the food was tasteless no matter how many times he chewed it, he enjoyed it.

This inexplicable warmth crept up to the corners of his lips unconsciously.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's just some dumplings, look at how worthless he looks..." Eva walked over with a pout, always feeling affected by Lang Yu's cold attitude, so she always wanted to complain whenever she got the chance.

Qi fans found it funny and didn’t know why Eva had to argue with Lang Yu.

Before Eva finished her long rant, Qi Mi patted her shoulder and got down to business: "I should be going to a challenge match tomorrow, and you may have to spend a lot of time with Lang Yu. Get along well and don't fight."

After listening to Qi Mi's brief introduction to the mutual placement competition, Eva nodded, seemingly understanding. "So what it means is, if you can defeat the top player in the Tiger District, you can meet the City Lord and possibly find a pass to leave this apocalyptic world?"

Qi Mi nodded.

"But the top of the Tiger Zone should be pretty powerful too, right?" Eva subconsciously looked at Qi Siyun.

Qi Siyun nodded with a heavy expression: "Yes, it's not just ordinary strong."

Although when she came, she rarely saw Qin Xunfeng, the top player in the Tiger Zone, going on stage to compete, this did not prevent his legend from being everywhere in the City That Never Sleeps.

The most talked-about thing among them is probably the story that he single-handedly killed more than 20 members of the wolf tribe, leaving none alive.
