"Run!" one of them roared, then got up and ran.
"Whoever runs first gets killed!" Ning Yanlan gradually got used to killing. After she pulled out her gun and killed the village chief, she adjusted her mindset and was no longer the person who would feel uneasy even when killing monsters.
As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people indeed stopped running, even the fastest Heaven and Earth Society member stopped in his tracks.
Seeing this, Ning Yanlan said coldly, "If you want to live, produce something enough to buy your life!"
"Oh, right, if I think what you offer isn't enough to buy your life! Then!" Ning Yanlan pointed to the burly man kneeling to the side, already dead with a stab wound to his heart, "that's what will happen to you!"
The members of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately understood that there was no need to choose between life and money, and they all took out the treasures they had obtained.
Under these circumstances, the original currency had lost its basic function, and the Holy Stone, a currency that served as both a measure of value and a medium of exchange, came into being. It can be said that the Holy Stone became the world's currency.
"Put your things on the ground and put your hands behind your head. We're going to search you. If we find anyone hiding anything, then you don't deserve to live!" Ning Yanlan said coldly.
Upon hearing this, several members of the Heaven and Earth Society, with bitter faces, pulled out some more treasures, and finally, everyone covered their heads with their hands and lay prostrate on the ground.
Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan with newfound respect. As expected of a former police officer, she might not be good at dealing with monsters, but she certainly had her own methods when it came to bad guys.
Sometimes, violence is the best way to curb darkness.
"Jiang Yuan, let's go collect the treasure!" Ning Yanlan didn't dare to go alone. Psionicists are especially afraid of being approached, so she could only ask Jiang Yuan to accompany her for safety.
The first person's treasure only consists of four Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones, and the core drop rate is less than one in ten. Therefore, this also determines that the number of Holy Spirit Stones will be far higher than that of the cores.
However, Holy Spirit Stones can help with cultivation, and no one would complain about having too many.
"Is that all?" Ning Yanlan glanced at the Holy Spirit Stone on the ground, her dissatisfaction evident.
"Heroine, that's all we have!" the kneeling man said with a bitter face.
"You're a grown man and you only have this few Holy Spirit Stones?" Ning Yanlan frowned, wondering whether she should search her body.
"The monsters have been rampaging outside these past few days, so we dare not go out to hunt them!" The man's eyes pleaded for mercy.
Fireball!
Ning Yanlan suddenly unleashed a fireball, and the man cried out in agony as he was severely injured. "Not killing you doesn't mean I'll let you go easily!"
Jiang Yuan naturally agreed; there was no need for mercy towards these desperate criminals.
The two put away their treasures one by one. The dozen or so members of the Heaven and Earth Society only contributed thirty-four first-tier Holy Spirit Stones and two second-tier Holy Spirit Stones. There wasn't a single core. However, there was a lot of first-tier weapons, but they all looked like they were discarded items by those second and third-tier people.
That's how the world is; the pyramid structure will never change, and those at the top hold the most power and wealth.
"Take them away!" Ning Yanlan was somewhat exhausted after beating everyone, and she was pointing at the dead people on the ground.
"Thank you for sparing my life, heroine!"
A group of people carried the dead man away in a sorry state.
Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan, and Ning Yanlan, sensing his gaze, said, "Why are you looking at me!"
"You're being a bit assertive today!" Jiang Yuan joked.
"It's already quite good that we didn't kill them, how can that be considered strong!" Ning Yanlan shook her head and said.
"Then why not just kill them?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Ning Yanlan said speechlessly, "I just don't want to get into trouble. If we kill them all, the warlords from Nancheng will definitely come knocking on our door tomorrow! Letting the Heaven and Earth Society handle it themselves will make this a small matter and a dead end. It's their way of dealing with things!"
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement; he hadn't thought of that.
"Let's open the doors and windows to ventilate the room!" Ning Yanlan said.
"Looks like Sister Li and the others are going to get a good night's sleep!" Jiang Yuan said helplessly.
It took the two of them a long time to clear up the lingering smoke that had filled the ground floor. As expected, Li Xiang and Xiao Xin were fast asleep, but they were the kind of people who couldn't be woken up no matter how hard they tried.
"Let's go to the kitchen and find something to eat!" Ning Yanlan thought for a moment and went into the kitchen, but the two of them searched for a long time but couldn't find enough food for both of them.
"Could it be that Sister Li and the others didn't go out, so they've almost finished eating all the food?" Jiang Yuan looked at the last bundle of noodles in front of him.
"How about we eat this noodle first, and then find some food to make up for it for my sister-in-law first thing tomorrow morning?" Ning Yanlan was so hungry that she didn't even want to leave the noodles behind.
"That works too. Or we can give them a few beef balls later." Jiang Yuan nodded.
"I only know how to make instant noodles, why don't you make some?" Ning Yanlan pushed the noodles in front of Jiang Yuan.
"I don't know how either. Why don't you make me some noodles instead?" Jiang Yuan refused.
"No way! You just swore you'd have me have a late-night snack if you won!" Ning Yanlan said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll make it, I'll make it! As long as you don't mind the taste!" Jiang Yuan could only turn on the gas stove and prepare to boil water.
But Ning Yanlan's expression was extremely unnatural at this moment. She looked at Jiang Yuan with a strange look and said hatefully, "Jiang Yuan, you are a big hooligan!"
Then Ning Yanlan dashed upstairs, leaving Jiang Yuan standing there dumbfounded. "What the heck?! Why is she suddenly yelling at me? I already agreed to let you eat the noodles!"
"Wait, what's next?"
