Chapter 43 Boss, can you give me a way out?
Ji Xinghan smiled slightly, sat down on a large rock next to him, and asked leisurely, "How much did you dig up?"
Jin Baiwan was on the verge of tears: "No...not many, are you planning to take them all?"
Ji Xinghan: "Otherwise what?"
Jin Baiwan was on the verge of tears: "Boss, can you spare my life? I... I dug up a total of 5 crystal stones, can't I give you two?"
Ji Xinghan: "Five!"
Jin Baiwan: "Boss!"
Ji Xinghan smiled leisurely: "Alright, since it's a crystal mine specified by the treasure map, there can't be only 5 crystals. I only need 5 of yours, keep the rest for yourself!"
Jin Baiwan wailed, "I really only dug up five crystal stones! I swear to God, I'm telling the truth. Crystal stones aren't minerals; they're everywhere. How could there be piles of them?"
Ji Xinghan pondered for a moment.
Indeed, she had dug up crystals and fire crystals, but only one or two.
Jin Baiwan probably didn't lie. Even if he did, he only dug out seven or eight crystals.
I've dealt with Jin Baiwan before; he's a good guy, there's no need to drive him to his death.
Five crystals are not bad.
Jin Baiwan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both heartbroken and fortunate.
It hurt to spend five crystals at once, but thankfully, Ji Xinghan probably didn't intend to kill for the treasure.
The game's initial announcement stated that there are no morals or laws here. If Ji Xinghan wanted to kill him, he could simply dig through the rocks, come in, kill the half-crippled Ji Xinghan, and then collect all his belongings.
Fortunately, Ji Xinghan was only greedy, not ruthless!
Jin Baiwan reluctantly sent a private message: "Okay, deal!"
Ji Xinghan: "Don't rush, wait a moment!"
She doesn't trust people much, so she hasn't made a deal with Jin Baiwan yet. What if the bandages are healed after the deal is done?
I remember he was very strong. Once his injuries healed, she would be in danger!
So, he should just stay disabled for now!
Ji Xinghan spent a long time moving stones, finally managing to create an even bigger pit in the depression.
When she moved a large rock, with a loud crash, the surrounding rocks fell down, revealing a dark hole.
Inside, Jin Baiwan let out a miserable cry of "Ouch!"
Ji Xinghan asked in surprise, "You're still at the cave entrance?"
Jin Baiwan's pained voice came: "I...I dodged it, but the stone rolled over and hit me."
Ji Xinghan listened to the sound; the cave wasn't too deep, but it wasn't shallow either.
How does she get down?
As she hesitated, Jian Lin spoke up in the "Invincible Survival Team" group: "Ji Xinghan, spare his life, don't kill Jin Baiwan, he's a good person."
Ji Xinghan: ...
Jian Lin added, “Jin Baiwan is a well-known philanthropist in our city. He usually takes care of stray cats and dogs, helps poor children, donates to disaster areas, and has done a lot of good deeds. He has no bad intentions, so please don’t kill him.”
Ji Xinghan: "You two know each other?"
Jian Lin didn't show it in the chat channel either.
Jian Lin: "Well, I've only met him once, but he's a good person. Apart from being a little silly and a little gluttonous, he has no other problems."
Jian Lin: "Trust me, my fortune-telling skills are pretty good."
He sent a rope: "You can climb down into the cave using this rope."
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment, then tied the rope to a large rock and tugged at it.
Jian Lin is trustworthy, and now it seems that Jin Baiwan is nothing special. However, she is a cautious person and doesn't easily trust others.
She shouted from below the hole, "Jin Baiwan, stay away, or it'll hit you!"
Holding a long sword in one hand and clinging to the rope with the other, she carefully and slowly lowered herself down.
She gripped her longsword tightly, listening intently to the sounds below, ready to react immediately if Jin Baiwan made a move.
After about seven or eight meters, she landed and immediately lit a torch.
The torches illuminated the surroundings.
In the dim light, she saw a person lying paralyzed not far away.
Jin Baiwan?
She approached slowly, holding a sword in one hand and a torch in the other.
She saw what the person looked like.
She paused for a moment.
This is a bit beyond my expectations... The man in front of me, Jin Baiwan, is neither fat nor ugly; on the contrary, he's quite a handsome guy!
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was tall and imposing, but unfortunately he was paralyzed on the ground, his right leg badly injured and covered in blood, making it difficult for him to even move.
Upon seeing Ji Xinghan, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise and joy: "You're Ji Xinghan? That's great, I'm saved!"
Ji Xinghan: "Hmm?"
She gave his bloodied right leg a cool glance: "How do you know you're saved? Maybe..."
She brandished the long sword in her hand.
Jin Baiwan wasn't afraid at all; instead, he chuckled and said, "Come on, let's make a deal. I'll give you five crystal stones."
Ji Xinghan asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and steal your treasure?"
Jin Baiwan smiled, his eyes crinkling: "Hey, how could that be? You're obviously a good person!"
He added, "Just like Jian Lin said!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She touched her face, and sure enough, she had a very deceptive face—a kind face!
Jin Baiwan has the same face!
Forget it, I won't scare him anymore!
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. I'll bandage you after I finish my adventure and find the treasure!"
To prevent him from stealing the treasure!
The disabled Jin Baiwan is safer, so she decided to save him after everything was over.
Jin Baiwan cried out, "No, boss, little sister, I swear, I will never steal your things or hurt you. Please let me heal my wounds, they hurt so much..."
Ji Xinghan completely ignored him.
Having a kind face is useless; you can know a person's face but not their heart.
Ji Xinghan walked inside, holding a torch.
Inside was a cave, about 100 square meters in size, with pebbles of all sizes scattered on the ground and stone walls all around, looking quite ordinary.
She circled around a few times and realized something was unusual.
There's ore!
Iron ore!
And there are quite a few, right on the innermost stone wall!
She was overjoyed, stuck the torch near Jin Baiwan, and lit another torch.
The torches were placed near Jin Baiwan to keep an eye on him, just in case he sneaks up!
Ji Xinghan took another torch and walked inside, one step, two steps, three steps...
"Wait!" Jin Baiwan shouted, "Ji Xinghan, don't move! There's something here!"
"Huh?" Ji Xinghan paused.
"Croak, croak!" The sound rang out, and a huge toad appeared in front of us. It lay on the ground, its two bulging eyes flashing with a fierce light, and its croak was loud.
Jin Baiwan shouted, "That's it! That's what injured me before! Ji Xinghan, run! It's very powerful... Oh no! Quick, get me some bandages! I have to run too!"
Jin Baiwan dragged his leg, terrified: "Please, Ji Xinghan, quickly give me a bandage! If we don't run now, we're doomed!"
Ji Xinghan, however, kept his eyes fixed on the toad.
Why does this look so familiar...?
Jin Baiwan was on the verge of tears: "Please, Boss Ji, give me the bandages right now! I'll give you the crystals, right now!"
[Jin Baiwan sent you 5 crystals!]
"Croak, croak!" The toad croaked twice more, and there was a hint of guilt in its voice.
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the toad she had encountered before?
Yes, it's the one she found when she opened the box!
She said, "Why does he look so familiar?"
Moreover, the toad must have recognized her, otherwise its croaking wouldn't have sounded so weak.
After all, it was driven away by Ji Xinghan before!
kill!
Ji Xinghan brandished his longsword and charged forward.
She could drive it away before, but now that her stats and weapon have improved, why should she be afraid of it?
Behind him, Jin Baiwan shouted hoarsely, "No! Ji Xinghan, that guy is powerful! Quick, get the bandages and run!"
