Chapter 164 Anger, Gain
Ji Wenqiao was overjoyed!
She knew it! With guidance from a mysterious person and help from Jin Xiaoluo, how could she possibly lose to Ji Xinghan?
Look, the old lady is selling GPS navigation devices!
Having defeated Ji Xinghan for the first time, Ji Wenqiao was extremely proud. The usually composed woman could no longer contain herself. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Ji Xinghan beside her, a smile playing on her lips: "Thank you, Ji Xinghan!"
Long Shisan laughed loudly: "Yes, thank you, Ji Xinghan!"
Zhu Xiong, who was in the group, also knew about this situation and was overjoyed.
He was idling outside the service area when he couldn't help but yell in the chat channel: "Thanks a lot, Ji Xinghan, haha, for clearing the obstacles for our guild leader and helping us obtain the treasure!"
Someone asked curiously, "What, you've partnered up, Zhu Xiong?"
Zhu Xiong sneered: "Cooperation is not the point. It's just that Ji Xinghan worked so hard to complete the task, only to have it all go to our leader!"
Jin Baiwan couldn't hold back any longer: "Ji Xinghan gained two attributes, while you lost two. Are you really that proud of?"
Zhu Xiong: !!!
Jin Baiwan: "What kind of treasure? Have you got your hands on it yet? What are you bragging about if you haven't?"
Jian Lin: "Exactly! You're dreaming. Do you think Ji Xinghan will be the one to benefit you? You're dreaming!"
Zhu Xiong gritted his teeth: "You just wait, hmph, once we get the treasure, Ji Xinghan, Jin Baiwan, Jian Lin, none of you will escape!"
Jin Baiwan: "Come on, show me!"
Jian Lin: "That's right, bring out what treasure you have, let me see!"
Zhu Xiong: "You just wait!"
Halfway through his boast, Zhu Xiong was stopped by Jin Baiwan and Jian Lin. Frustrated, Zhu Xiong urged Ji Wenqiao, "Boss, have you got it yet?"
Ji Wenqiao: "Right away!"
The old lady coughed, reached out, and touched the navigation.
I can't reach it!
Ji Xinghan stared at it for a while, then quickly went up to her and said, "Grandma, I also want to buy a navigation system, is that okay?"
Long Shisan panicked: "You're too late! They've already agreed to sell it to us!"
The old lady coughed and said, "That's not necessarily true..."
Ji Wenqiao was startled: "Old man, you just clearly said..."
The old lady chuckled: "I only said I'd sell it, I didn't say I'd definitely sell it to anyone."
She turned to Ji Xinghan: "Girl, I can sell the navigation, but not the gold coins. Do you have any token?"
Seeing an opportunity, Ji Xinghan quickly stepped forward: "Grandma, what kind of token do you need? Is it one of those wooden plaques? What if I don't have one?"
Long Shisan laughed: "Of course you don't have it. The gang leader said that only she has this kind of thing. There is no one else like her in the whole district. Ji Xinghan, don't bother."
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Ji Wenqiao's forehead. She felt uneasy and quickly softened her tone, saying, "Grandma...Grandma, only I have this wooden token. Please sell it to me. According to the rules, once the token is brought out, you must sell it."
She was still uneasy and sent a private message to the mysterious person: "Am I really the only one who can buy this?"
The mysterious person replied, "Don't worry, only the tokens associated with the NPCs are usable. There are only two NPCs associated with the navigation, and Jin Xiaoluo is one of them. The navigation will definitely be yours."
Ji Wenqiao was still uneasy: "Who is the other related NPC?"
The mysterious man fell silent.
On the other side, Ji Xinghan looked at the old lady with eager eyes.
The old lady coughed and pointed at Ji Xinghan: "Girl, come here and help me get this navigation."
Ji Xinghan responded and quickly walked towards the counter.
Ji Wenqiao became anxious.
Long Shisan also got anxious: "Hey, old woman, I'm tall, I'll get it!"
He clung to the counter, intending to jump inside.
The old lady's face darkened, and she slammed her cane down on Long Shisan's hand with a "smack," shouting, "Get out!"
"Ouch!" Long Shisan cried out in pain, clutching his hand. "Old man, don't..."
Long San was shocked and went up to cover his mouth.
The old woman gave a chilling laugh.
[Long Shisan angered a mysterious NPC, resulting in a decrease of 1 in Agility, 1 in Strength, and 1 in Constitution...]
Long Shisan wanted to continue cursing, but Long San quickly dragged him out the door.
The others dared not make any further moves.
Ji Xinghan walked to the counter, stood on tiptoe, and reached for the navigation. Unexpectedly, she tripped over something, cried out in pain, and bent over to steady her knee.
She clearly saw something slip out of the old lady's sleeve and fall silently to the ground.
She looked closely and froze; it was a wooden sign.
It was exactly the same as the wooden plaque that Ji Wenqiao had taken out, except that it had the character "木" (wood) engraved on it.
She paused for only a second, then swiftly picked up the wooden sign and handed it to the old lady: "Grandma, I want to buy a GPS navigation device. Would you like this keepsake?"
What?
Ji Wenqiao's expression changed drastically, and she craned her neck to look over.
Upon seeing this, his face paled even more, and he cried out in shock, "How is this possible?"
The old lady smiled slightly and said, "Of course!"
"No way!" Ji Wenqiao shouted, "Old lady, I spoke first, so naturally you should sell it to me first!"
The old woman turned around and gave a sinister smile: "But she was the one who had this navigation device in her hand first!"
Ji Wenqiao was dumbfounded. How could this be? The reason the navigation system was in Ji Xinghan's hands was because the old lady told her to retrieve it.
There was something else she didn't understand: the old lady was deliberately favoring Ji Xinghan.
What should we do?
Ji Wenqiao became anxious.
She held up the wooden plaque in her hand: "Old man, please look carefully, this is Master Jin's keepsake!"
The old man nodded: "Yes, I know. You have Master Jin's token, and this girl has Master Mu's token. You are equals."
She ignored Ji Wenqiao, took the wooden plaque back from Ji Xinghan, and gently pushed Ji Xinghan away: "Alright, I'll keep the token, you can take the navigation."
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Grandma!"
She put the navigation device into her storage bag, turned around, and left the store.
Ji Wenqiao was really anxious; her head was buzzing.
Sweat poured down his forehead in a flash.
Long Shisan, who was watching clearly from the doorway, became even more anxious: "Go ahead and grab it! Ji Wenqiao, what are you doing just watching? You're useless... Waaah..."
Long San covered his mouth tightly.
Ji Wenqiao's face turned ashen.
She glanced around and saw that the people following her were all pale-faced, dejected and disappointed, and their gazes toward her were filled with disdain.
Ji Wenqiao's head buzzed.
It's over.
She failed again.
I've lost to Ji Xinghan again!
This was clearly a sure win, so why did Ji Xinghan interfere?
what to do?
What do her subordinates think of her now?
Zhu Xiong was outside the service area, unaware of the situation. He waited anxiously while inquiring about the situation in the group chat.
"How's it going, Boss? Did you get it?"
"Haha, we've got it now, let's go kill Ji Xinghan, yay!"
"The gang leader is awesome! You're my idol, gang leader! Hahaha, just wait, I'll kill Jian Lin and Jin Baiwan in a bit!"
The group was silent; no one replied to him.
Nobody knew what to say.
Zhu Xiong, however, believed that he had already succeeded, because he was Ji Wenqiao's most trusted confidant. Ji Wenqiao had a mysterious person helping her, who knew almost all the information, and with Jin Xiaoluo's guidance, he thought that this matter was 100% certain.
So, he couldn't wait to say in the gang chat: "Hahaha, the gang leader will announce some good news in a bit, everyone wait and see, hahaha, Ji Xinghan is finished, hahaha!"
Someone immediately asked, "Really? What good news?"
Zhu Xiong said smugly, "Just you wait, haha, boss, are you done yet? Hurry up and tell me!"
Ji Wenqiao: !!!
fool!
