Chapter 52: On the Wasteland (12) Guilty Heart



The more Yuan Dongqi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

When a player dies, his body disappears. Similarly, his belongings will disappear with him - unless the backpack has already been taken off by someone.

But in this case, the number of items in the backpack will always be only as many as when it left the original owner.

But if the player is still alive, it's a different story.

At least every day you can get a new class selection item. Although the number of items is small, but the mosquito is still meat.

What's more, Yuan Dongqi once heard such a saying: depending on the profession and luck, the probability of each person being able to draw good things is also different.

Take beggar players for example. Although on the surface, the range of characters they can draw covers all professions, it seems like they have got a huge bargain.

But God always remembers to close the door before opening the window. The expansion of the horizontal range will inevitably lead to the reduction of the vertical range - that is to say, although they draw more things, no matter how much they draw, they can only draw things of ordinary quality, because there are no higher-quality things in the prize pool.

On the contrary, it is different for players of other professions. Although the prize types are single, the prize pool is very deep. As long as you are not African, the chance of drawing special items is not small.

Take Yuan Dongqi's profession as an example. As a doctor, his selection range is medical supplies and mental suppressants.

Most of the time, ordinary people would draw things like Isatis root or bandages that could only restore ten health points. However, there were always two or three days in each dungeon where they could draw things like anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-toxin serum.

But Yuan Dongqi himself is a hidden European emperor.

A copy lasts only ten days, and there is a prize draw every day. Five out of ten times he can draw the so-called special items, and twice he can even draw a suit. On the contrary, it is rare to draw ordinary props in the remaining three times.

If the prizes for the Ten-Day Plan weren't distributed directly to the players' backpacks, a string of words might have popped up the moment Yuan Dongqi drew the prize—

Lucky Combo

If he hadn't known that he had never told anyone how good his luck was, Yuan Dongqi would have almost thought that the other party came prepared.

However, Qianyue did nothing.

I didn't even bother to talk to him.

Yuan Dongqi only saw that after the woman in front of him counted all the props, she seemed to take a muddy snakeskin bag dug out from the ruins and threw all the things into it, then casually threw it into the corner, folded her arms, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.

“…”

I wonder how those players who are so poor that they have to eat tree bark would feel when they see her squandering such resources.

After sitting there for another hour, Yuan Dongqi felt like his whole body was going to become stiff. Even if he had great self-control, he couldn't stand this kind of torture.

Finally, he couldn't help but asked helplessly: "How long are you going to tie me up?"

Qianyue didn't even raise her eyelids: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later."

Yuan Dongqi: "..."

He couldn't help but ask, "Is there...some misunderstanding between us?"

Yuan Dongqi thought that the other party was taking revenge on him because they had some grudge against each other.

Qianyue thought about it and realized that the person who had clashed with her before was Du Yuanlang, and Yuan Dongqi was at most a spectator, so there didn't seem to be any grudge between them.

So she said, "No."

Qianyue wanted to say that there was no misunderstanding, and there was no such thing as a holiday, but when the words reached Yuan Dongqi's ears, he understood it as -

There was no misunderstanding, there was indeed a feud between them.

Yuan Dongqi:!!!

This is a huge misunderstanding.

Yuan Dongqi thought for a long time, but could only recall the scene of the other party beating Du Yuanlang violently - could it be because of Du Yuanlang?

But he clearly hadn't had time to reunite with the Du brothers after entering the dungeon...

Yuan Dongqi was cautious and suspicious by nature, so the more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, and he got himself into trouble.

On the other side, Qianyue yawned boredly and thought.

Two or three hours is neither long nor short.

Because of the constant hustle and bustle outside, the two stayed in the cave and did not go out.

From time to time, someone would pass by, or a drama of gangs eating gangs would be played out over their heads.

There was even a third bombing that broke out in the middle.

Yuan Dongqi was extremely panicked at the time, but when he turned around, he saw Qianyue still sleeping peacefully, and he was almost so angry that his heart stopped beating.

But soon, he keenly discovered that the cave they were in was really unusual.

The bombing outside was like thunder, and the whole earth was shaking, but the cave was hardly affected.

During the previous bombings, Yuan Dongqi had to run around on the road in order to avoid the bombs. Throughout the whole process, his health and stamina points dropped by at least half a bar.

But this time, apart from the initial shock, Yuan Dongqi was largely unharmed. The few drops in health he'd suffered were simply from scrapes he'd accidentally rubbed against the dirt and rocks while moving around.

A few minutes later, the earth returned to calm again, and Yuan Dongqi was confused.

Is this the end?

Is this still the bombing in his memory?

In the evening, Qianyue left the person behind again and went out to get some fresh air.

Yuan Dongqi said nothing this time and stayed in the cave obediently. Although this posture was really uncomfortable, it had to be said that the safety factor was more than a level higher.

So much so that when Qianyue came to call him out in the early morning, he didn't want to move.

Qianyue untied him, climbed out of the cave first, and then turned to him and said, "Come out."

Yuan Dongqi was stunned for a moment and didn't move.

Qianyue frowned, a little unhappy: "Come out quickly, what are you dawdling for?"

Yuan Dongqi was puzzled. Why did she suddenly untie him? It was still dark, so why did she call him out?

Could it be that she finally came to her senses and was planning to let him go?

Yuan Dongqi's expression changed slightly, and an indescribable strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he said tactfully:

“I think this place is pretty good.”

Qianyue: “……???”

Two minutes later, the usually elegant Yuan Dongqi was dragged out in a completely humiliating manner.

In the night, the two men moved forward one after the other.

Yuan Dongqi was much more thoughtful than Du Yuanlang. Knowing that Qianyue didn't like to talk to people, he didn't go up to her and cause trouble.

Qianyue really didn't care about him. After pulling the man out of the cave, she sealed the cave in front of Yuan Dongqi without saying a word.

Yuan Dongqi looked at the sealed cave, then looked at the snakeskin bag that Qianyue threw on her shoulder, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.

People like Qianyue who are afraid of trouble would probably want to find a place and stay there forever.

Yuan Dongqi had been tied up and unable to move for the entire day, but now Qianyue took the initiative to bring him out and sealed the cave herself. It seemed that she was going to give up this place.

In this situation, it would be impossible for Qianyue to be in a good mood.

As the "culprit", Yuan Dongqi was very conscious and did not go up to provoke her.

But the boy who had been thinking about escaping did not leave, but followed Qianyue not too close but not too far away, so as not to lose her while keeping a safe distance.

He could see that although Qianyue's attitude towards him was not very good, she had no intention of hurting him.

Although the exact reason is unclear, Yuan Dongqi has always been a smart person and knows what to do to benefit himself.

Previously, in the copy of the Dark Rock incident, Yuan Dongqi didn't have much feeling about Qianyue. At most, she was just a passerby who was good at fighting. But after staying in her "dog hole" for a day, his perception of Qianyue gradually changed.

It feels like discovering a sweeping monk among a group of ordinary people, which is surprising and astonishing.

Qian-Sweeping Monk-Yue: ...

Just as Yuan Dongqi guessed, Qianyue was not in a good mood after being forced to evacuate the cat ear cave that she had dug with great difficulty.

But the real reason is not entirely because of Yuan Dongqi——

"arrive."

Huh? Are we there yet? Where are we?

Yuan Dongqi raised his head in confusion. All he saw before him were dilapidated buildings, but judging from the density of the buildings, it seemed as if he had returned to the city.

But it was obvious that Qianyue had no intention of explaining for him.

Qianyue walked straight inside, and Yuan Dongqi hurriedly followed. After entering the alley, he discovered that behind the winding broken wall was actually a small trading place.

It was now 01:25:00 at night, but the night in the game was only two hours long, so in real-world terms, it was already dawn.

The morning light poured down from above, and some people were scattered on the street, some sitting and some standing. In front of them, there was a simple sign that said what they had and what they wanted to exchange.

Some people simply grabbed a half-burnt branch and drew it on the wall behind them.

Others directly use the props

They are all laid out in front of them - but few people dare to do so, and it's obvious that they are not people to be trifled with.

Among the people coming and going, there were both players and a small number of indigenous people, but everyone was surprisingly well-behaved and nothing bad happened.

Yuan Dongqi was shocked by the situation before him. He felt surprised but also understood it.

There is a saying that goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

After all, those who only think about plundering supplies by brute force are a minority. Most people still cherish their lives and abide by the rules.

An aboriginal nearby suddenly picked up a kitchen knife and put it on the man's neck, saying ferociously, "What do you want to do?!"

Player: "What are you doing? I didn't even touch you!"

Aboriginal: "Stop pretending! You backpackers are so mean! You can just touch something and it's gone. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Yuan Dongqi: ...If he guessed correctly, this person was probably talking about a beggar player.

Seeing that Qianyue had already walked away, Yuan Dongqi hurriedly followed.

It seemed that Qianyue was also visiting this market for the first time. She walked around as if she was looking for someone.

There were also players looking around.

"Where is the Duobao merchant?"

"Let's look for it again. It should be in this area."

"It seems to be over there..."

Yuan Dongqi listened silently to the conversation next to him, then quickly walked over to Qianyue and asked, "Are you looking for Duobao Merchant? I heard someone say he seemed to be over there."

Seeing Yuan Dongqi, Qianyue frowned instantly, "What are you doing here?"

Yuan Dongqi was stunned and asked, "Didn't I follow you?"

Qianyue: "Thank you, no need."

She pushed Yuan Dongqi away and walked in the direction he said.

Yuan Dongqi followed her closely with his eyes. Seeing that Qianyue really left him and walked into the alley without hesitation, he hesitated for a moment, but quickly followed her.

Yuan Dongqi didn't want to curry favor with anyone, but having just experienced a betrayal, he had to admit that in the current situation, finding a trustworthy and intelligent teammate was harder than climbing to the sky.

His intuition told him that if he missed Qianyue now, he would definitely regret it.

So Yuan Dongqi hurriedly trotted after him, without even taking a closer look at his surroundings, and went straight to Qianyue: "You want me to go? That's not what you said when you tied me up last night, ummmm--"

Yuan Dongqi was caught off guard and someone covered his mouth, blocking the rest of his words, but it was too late.

Qianyue raised her head awkwardly, and happened to meet Qi Feng's dark and calm eyes.

Qianyue: “…”

Wait, why would she feel guilty?
