Chapter 197 Lock Card



[Use the multiplier card to obtain 1 thermostatic suit.]

Two identical moon-white thermostatic suits lay quietly in the box.

Gu Mian casually picked up a piece of clothing and was immediately stunned by its tight-fitting style.

It's too form-fitting; I can only wear it as an inner layer. I promptly stuffed it into my backpack and will wear it when I have the chance.

You can just put the hot stones in your pocket so you can take them out anytime to warm your hands.

There's still a basket of cherries left, but nowhere to put it; there are no empty backpack slots.

Gu Mian shifted her gaze to the ground, looking at the basket of plump, juicy cherries, and casually scooped out a few to eat.

"tasty!"

It's sweet and juicy!

I promptly picked it up and took it with me!

[Player Xu Kun has invited you to join him using a team-up card. Do you agree?]

Um?

Gu Mian picked up the cherry basket and said, "Yes!"

A flash of white light, and Gu Mian appeared behind a pine tree.

"Hey sis, do you recognize that person up ahead?"

"Huh?" Gu Mian looked forward, following the force of the tugging on her sleeve.

Not far ahead, under a tree, a group of people with axes surrounded two girls, seemingly confronting each other.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Gu Mian noticed that the two girls inside looked very familiar. After looking for another two minutes, she finally remembered them.

One of them was Guan Shanyue, whom she used to order meals from frequently, and the other was Liu Qingqing, who invited her to help fight the snow monster.

"I know him." Meeting Xu Kun's questioning gaze, Gu Mian nodded slightly.

She found it a bit strange, though. Guan Shanyue was someone she had met frequently before; she was a girl with a good personality who was focused on doing business.

Although I've only met Liu Qingqing once, I can tell she's not a difficult person to get along with. So why are these two people surrounded by a group of people with axes?

Upon hearing this, Xu Kun clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles, and asked, "Shall we go and help?"

Gu Mian: "Let me think about it."

She would see what conflicts existed between the two groups before deciding whether to go out or not.

...

"Guan Shanyue, hand over the box and we'll let you go. We mean what we say!" one of them shouted, brandishing an axe.

Guan Shanyue sneered: "Why should I give you the box I found for free?"

"Heh, since you're so shameless, don't blame us for not discussing this with you beforehand."

"You're utterly shameless!" Liu Qingqing spat on the ground. "To call robbery a negotiation, you guys are truly shameless!"

"Shameless? If we were truly shameless, we would have already taken action. Why would we be standing here giving you a chance?"

Guan Shanyue: "Opportunity? Don't be ridiculous. Are you sure you're not afraid of the bomb I have?"

"You!" The man became enraged. "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."

"Do it!" He raised his arm, and the axe in his hand chopped straight at Guan Shanyue.

The others responded immediately and joined in, hacking at the two men with their axes.

Liu Qingqing's expression hardened, and she clapped her hands together, instantly enveloping the two of them in a light blue protective shield.

The next second, countless axes struck the protective shield, which immediately emitted a crisp "crackling" sound.

Liu Qingqing thought to herself: Oh no, the protective shield is about to shatter! She turned her head and shouted to Guan Shanyue, "Run!"

Guan Shanyue didn't say anything, took out the last Swift Travel Card, slapped it on his body, grabbed Liu Qingqing, and ran off.

The leader's expression changed, and he quickly slapped a speed card onto his person, grabbed someone, and chased after them: "Hurry, chase them! Don't let them get away!"

The group quickly disappeared from sight.

"Should we follow them?" Xu Kun asked Gu Mian, his expression inquiring.

Gu Mian raised one eyebrow and looked at him strangely: "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Xu Kun chuckled and winked, "I'm also interested in that box. I want to see what kind of box it is that so many people are chasing after it."

Gu Mian: "..."

Her expression immediately turned complicated: "Well, you're pretty boring."

Xu Kun: "Hey, it's pretty boring, so I'm trying to find some fun for myself."

Gu Mian: "They've disappeared without a trace, how can we find them?"

Xu Kun: "You can use a lock card."

He stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a silver-white card.

[Lock Card: Locks onto the target and instantly teleports you to the target's vicinity.]

Gu Mian: "...Okay, let's go and take a look..."

You've already brought out the props, what can I say...?

Xu Kun immediately clicked on the card and selected to use it.

[You need to enter the name of the target person.]

Forehead……

He looked at Gu Mian and gave an awkward laugh: "What were those two called again?"

Gu Mian: "...Guan Shanyue, Liu Qingqing."

Xu Kun: "OK".

[Target Guan Shanyue locked, teleporting...]

A wave of dizziness washed over Gu Mian. Before she could even open her eyes, a deafening explosion rang in her ears, causing her to cover them in pain.

"Damn! This bitch actually dared to throw a bomb!!" a hoarse male voice rang out.

"Pfft, cough cough, how are they? They're not dead, are they?"

"The snowflakes are too big, I can't see them clearly!"

"Damn it, I hope those two bitches don't die! We used so many props and still haven't gotten the box. It would be such a waste if they died!"

"Stop talking, watch the boss's expression."

The man referred to as the boss was wearing a black leather coat, his face obscured by a black fur trim around the collar, making it impossible to see his features.

My gaze returned to the top of his head, where there was a huge red exclamation mark.

Gu Mian was slightly tempted. Compared to the unknown box, she was more interested in the boss, which was worth 10,000 points!

"Hmm?" Noticing where Gu Mian's gaze was, Xu Kun glanced over.

What's so interesting about a dark, ugly ghost?

No, look again.

Huh? So you were looking at the exclamation mark above his head?

Xu Kun stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Is my little sister planning to take this man's life?"

"Boss, we've found them."

A male voice interrupted Xu Kun's thoughts.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the two girls being pinned down by their hands behind their backs, pressed against the ugly boss.

Ugly Ghost Boss: "Guan Shanyue, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the box and I promise I'll let you go."

Guan Shanyue's response was to spit "Pah!" onto his leg.

The ugly leader's face darkened instantly. He gathered his strength and looked at Liu Qingqing beside him: "And you? You'd rather die with Guan Shanyue than hand over the box?"

Liu Qingqing looked at him innocently: "I don't want to die, but the box isn't with me. She won't give it to you, so there's nothing I can do."

"Fine, fine, fine!" The ugly leader was so angry that he laughed, and said "laugh" three times in a row.

"I've already given you a chance, so don't blame me if you don't cherish it." His face turned cold, and he raised his foot to kick Liu Qingqing's neck.

No sooner said than done, Liu Qingqing closed her eyes and shouted, "Wait!"
