That sounds nice, but Su Deng is now fearless and undaunted.
To put it bluntly, she's just given up on herself.
Anyway, I won't die.
She wanted to see what was so special about her body that could attract the attention of both the so-called God of the Divine Court and the evil gods.
There's also the "Chosen One" mentioned by Liu Sangua.
Su Deng followed the same old route, but this time she didn't encounter the woman splashing water.
They didn't encounter any other executives, and everything was quiet.
However, she encountered an NPC, which triggered a plot event.
Help an NPC find crocodile scales in a deep underground river.
You will be rewarded with 100 shopping points and 20 health points.
Su Deng answered.
I encountered other players during the process, and they were all nervous.
until--
She found the underground river.
"Zhuo Feng, you bastard!"
"...I'll f*** your grandpa!"
"You even stole from me..."
One angry curse after another echoed through the underground river, spreading out in circles.
Qin Xian?
Su Deng raised an eyebrow and stood on the cliff face, silently looking ahead.
The underground river is not large, just over two meters wide, and no one knows where it begins or ends, flowing deep underground.
Qin Xian knelt on the ground by the river, his body covered in blood.
He was badly injured, his pale face filled with anger, and he was gritting his teeth.
His skill arrow was held in the hand of the man opposite him.
As for the man on the other side...
Su Deng turned slightly to the side, changing to a better angle where she could see clearly.
...It's Zhuo Feng.
Zhuo Feng was also injured; an arrow pierced his left shoulder, leaving a bloody hole.
He's a little better than Qin Xian.
In this scene, it's clear that he gained the upper hand after the two faced off.
Hearing Qin Xian's insults, Zhuo Feng's upright face was full of gloom. "Qin Xian, you are soft-hearted, but I am not."
Qin Zheng gritted his teeth, "You're talking nonsense..."
“We could have joined forces to kill Su Deng and split the divine materials she possessed, but you ended up getting involved with her.”
Zhuo Feng sneered, "Qin Xian, you betrayed me first."
"I...I didn't...!" Qin Xian steadied himself. "I considered you a friend...you were the one who said you wanted to kill Su Deng first...I just wanted to help you..."
In fact, he never intended to kill Su Deng from beginning to end.
In the beginning, Zhuo Feng, like other players, set his sights on Su Deng's god-level materials, thinking she was a newcomer who was easy to bully.
So after discovering that she was a copy of himself, he got the idea.
In the real world, Qin Zheng worked hard every day delivering food and studying on his own in a dilapidated rented room at night. He was fed up with that kind of miserable life, but he was too afraid to die.
I can't bear to die.
After entering the game world, he found it quite nice.
When people become more capable, all games become novel and fun.
Without laws, he could do whatever he wanted. He wouldn't have to struggle to make a living, nor would he have to live in constant oppression and feel lonely and miserable.
It's much more interesting than the real world where his biological parents abandoned him.
He didn't want to collect god-level materials to make a wish; he just wanted to survive in the game according to the rules, even if he could never get out.
He met Zhuo Feng in a temporary team in a dungeon game, and the two became friends and often ran dungeons together.
Qin Xian's idea regarding god-level materials was simply to obtain them and have some that could save his life in critical moments.
As for the rest, it's all about just lying low.
He runs away when faced with great danger and is very indifferent to everything.
He just wants to live. What's wrong with being timid and cowardly?
Killing Su Deng and stealing materials was simply because Zhuo Feng wanted them, and as a friend, he naturally had to help out.
Who knew that Su Deng was so cunning and treacherous, daring to deceive even the executive officer?
That doesn't matter.
More importantly, after Qin Xian's near-death experience of being coerced by Su Deng for not having enough points, he felt that Su Deng seemed to be a pretty good person.
But who would have thought that even though that incident happened so long ago, Zhuo Feng would still try to kill Su Deng when they met in the individual competition.
Killing Su Deng is one of them.
His trust in Zhuo Feng was such that he would entrust his back to him without hesitation in this game devoid of any humanity or morality.
But he never expected that after he managed to pass the individual competition by luck, Zhuo Feng would stab him in the back.
Then, a fight broke out, and this is how the two ended up.
"Zhuo Feng...you can't kill Su Deng...you..."
"Qin Xian, there's something I've always wanted to tell you: you're really stupid."
Zhuo Feng sneered, "It's a miracle that you, such a cowardly and stupid thing, have survived in this game world until now. I've always thought you were just lucky. You believe whatever people say. I only used you as a tool for fighting. But I did consider you a friend, and you shouldn't have betrayed me."
Zhuo Feng looked down at him, his eyes devoid of any warmth.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Normally, I wouldn't have gone this far with you, but there are limited spots in this Rising Star Challenge, and everyone else will be eliminated by the rules."
"...If you want to blame someone, blame someone who was in the same individual competition with limited spots as me, but got the completion item before me."
"I don't want to die, so this is the only choice I can make to ensure my advancement!"
Zhuo Feng twirled the arrow in his hand and walked closer to Qin Xian. "Do you think Su Deng would consider you a friend? You're just following her around like a lapdog. In this game world, trusting others is the most foolish thing you can do."
