Chapter 14
Seeing Xin Yunxi's strange expression, Su Xingyuan blinked and interrupted her thoughts with words, saying, "There's no one watching nearby, turn on the lights."
Xin Yunxi was stunned: "Did you know someone came here before?"
"Guessed." Su Xingyuan asked casually, "Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
"No." Xin Yunxi shook her head. "I told my brother about the situation and he was very cooperative. The people who came today were from the Hunter Association. They are different from the Paishan Guild. They measured my brother's magic value, asked a few questions and then left."
Su Xingyuan asked curiously: "How did you answer?"
"Although I don't know the specific situation, I can still play crazy and stupid, and I can barely fool them."
The sound of the door opening was heard, and Xin Yunting, who looked thin and haggard due to being busy supporting his family, walked out of the bedroom, stood in front of Su Xingyuan, and bowed deeply to him:
"Hello, Mr. Su Xingyuan, I'm Xin Yunting. Thank you very much for what you did today."
Su Xingyuan glanced at the NPC and saw from the tenseness in his body that he was grateful but defensive. He said lightly, "You're welcome. After all, I didn't take any risks."
He stretched his tense body, and there was no special emotion in his voice: "After all, I am using the name Xin Yunting, don't you think?"
The atmosphere in the room became stagnant for a moment.
Seeing this, Su Xingyuan put his knuckles on his chin and thought: "Did I look bad-tempered just now?"
He suddenly smiled: "That's right, I really have a bad temper."
Su Xingyuan's good temper only exists in those real people in reality who have no bad intentions.
Xin Yunting took a deep breath, bowed again, and said, "No, you are a good person. With your strength, you don't have to replace me to enter that door..."
"I already know that the entire raiding team that entered the gate was wiped out. If it was me who went there, I wouldn't be standing here right now. Compared to life and death, other troubles are nothing."
Xin Yunxi nodded seriously on the side.
Su Xingyuan did not say anything more on this topic, but pointed to the huge package and said, "This is the reward. It contains jewelry, gold, silver, antiques and ornaments. You can decide what to do with it. I will not provide after-sales service."
Xin Yunxi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "You know that the Paishan Guild and the Hunter Association will keep a close eye on us during this period."
The implication is that the sudden appearance of so much gold, silver and treasures is not a blessing, but a disaster.
She raised her head and met the black-haired boy's eyes, and saw that the cat-like green eyes curved, and the small mole underneath also moved slightly.
"The Paishan Guild can't take care of you for now," he said lightly, "I just killed their president."
…
The air seemed to freeze completely in an instant.
Xin Yunting's expression was even more dazed.
“You killed…”
A chilling chill rushed straight to the top of my head.
He was wary of Su Xingyuan because he didn't know his origins and purpose, but he didn't expect that the other party could make killing sound so easy, as if it was just stepping on a bug.
Even those people from the Paishan Guild would not do it themselves if they wanted to get rid of someone, but would use the monsters in the portal instead.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, his face stiffened, but he heard Xin Yunxi's voice coming from beside him:
“…Good kill.”
The girl sitting on the sofa lowered her head, her bangs obediently blocking her eyes, making it difficult to see her expression. One could only hear her trembling voice, as if she was speaking under repression: "That kind of person deserves to die. You are getting rid of harm for the people. You are not wrong."
Su Xingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. His angle was different from Xin Yunting's, so he could clearly see that Xin Yunxi's voice was not trembling because she was too nervous or scared.
She was trembling, her brown eyes staring straight at a spot on the coffee table, her pupils shrinking constantly, because of the sudden thought and fantasy of "it would be great if I was the one who had the ability to kill him", a trembling almost of excitement.
Su Xingyuan looked at Xin Yunting thoughtfully.
The personalities of this brother and sister are somewhat interesting.
From the fact that Xin Yunxi was able to put her brother to sleep with great determination, lock him up at home, and make decisions on her own, we know that she is not without ideas, she just can't do much.
And compared to Xin Yunting, Xin Yunxi might have to suppress it for longer. No matter how hard and tired Xin Yunting worked, he could earn money and support his family, but she could not help in any other way except taking money for his studies.
She is a good child, and this kind of mental torture may be more unbearable than physical pain.
As if realizing that she had overreacted, Xin Yunxi took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and curled up on the sofa in frustration:
"I mean, my brother and I are both citizens in good standing, and the Hunter's Guild is official, so they won't do anything to us. You killed the leader of the Paishan Guild, and that actually made our situation less dangerous."
Seeing that she had recovered, Xin Yunting was a little confused, but he didn't ask directly. He took his eyes off his sister, calmed down, and nodded after thinking it through:
"Yes, the leader of the Paishan Guild is known for his suspicion. If you hadn't intervened, we might have encountered something unexpected tonight."
Su Xingyuan recalled for a moment and said casually, "It seemed that when I went to kill him, he was indeed preparing to cause trouble for you."
He clapped his hands, leaving no room for refusal: "Well, our deal is now complete. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
This time, Su Xingyuan did not go through the window. Instead, he opened the door and walked downstairs slowly.
He was flipping through the book as he walked, and when he turned to the fourth page, he heard footsteps behind him.
The black-haired boy tilted his head, closed the book, and turned around.
After seeing clearly who was following him, he smiled faintly under the moonlight. His green eyes, adorned with a small mole, looked like the eyes of a corrupt demon.
"Although I knew you would follow me," he said to Xin Yunxi in a relaxed tone, "I am still a little surprised."
Xin Yunxi lowered her head in embarrassment, unconsciously grinding her feet repeatedly on the ground: "I'm sorry... did I delay you?"
"No." Su Xingyuan: "Do you have anything to say?"
When asked directly, Xin Yunxi was stunned.
She fell silent.
"...Just, see you off?"
Su Xingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you then?"
“…”
The black-haired boy couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He thought Xin Yunxi was going to say something, and was afraid it might be a crucial point, so he was fully prepared to give a response, but the conversation turned out to be like this.
The NPC reactions in this game are quite realistic.
He held out his hand: "Want to be a friend?"
Xin Yunxi was still confused. When she saw the other person smiling, she subconsciously reached out her hand and asked, "How do I add him?"
"It's already been added." Su Xingyuan only touched it lightly and then withdrew his hand: "Okay, see you later, my friend."
He smiled, then turned around, waved his hand with his back to her, and disappeared into the night without any more lingering.

【★Hostile Eyes-Completed! 】
[Congratulations on receiving the reward: 1000EXP; Gold Coins*500]
【★First friendship-completed! 】
[Congratulations on winning the reward: Gold Coins*100]
Su Xingyuan found a bench to sit down and received the reward.
The gold coins are finally no longer a pitiful 100.
He closed the log page and his eyes fell on the extra "Friends" column.
At this moment, the name Xin Yunxi was lying quietly on it.
He had indeed never thought that he could add NPC friends in a stand-alone game.
However, considering the intelligence level of the NPCs in this game, it is understandable that there is a friend system.
This interface can only show whether a friend is dead. If he is dead, his name will be grayed out. Apart from that, you can't even see the message bar where you can send messages, so Su Xingyuan closed the page.
Speaking of which, he originally thought that Xin Yunting was an important character - after all, his setting was too classic, his mother was seriously ill, his father died early, and he had a younger sister who was still in school. His family was poor and miserable and probably had loans on their backs, which made him very suitable for a subsequent slap in the face and a counterattack. This is in the Novice Village again, so the possibility of encountering the main characters of the game is very high.
But after tonight, he changed his mind.
Perhaps the person who will change is not Xin Yunting, but Xin Yunxi.
But this has nothing to do with him. First of all, he is a lone wolf player. Secondly, this game doesn't even mention the main storyline. It's an open world. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't need to pay attention to anyone.
My physical strength was recovering bit by bit, slowly reaching 40%.
Su Xingyuan's eyes moved slightly.
He actually always wanted to know how "damage tolerance" works.
But in the previous battles, neither the portal nor Yue Dahai was something that could be taken lightly, and they consumed most of their physical strength by turning on [Attribute Enhancement] during the battle, so he never had the chance to experience it.
As he was in a non-combat state, Su Xingyuan turned on [Damage Tolerance] and then injected the stinger into his arm without hesitation.
The slender stinger went straight through his arm.
As his HP decreased, a [Deterioration] debuff appeared in his status bar.
——The sting has the negative effect of causing continuous blood loss.
Although it was dropped from the small monster and not as powerful as the insect queen's venom, Su Xingyuan didn't want a large-scale loss of blood. The continuous damage of reducing HP by 1 every once in a while was very suitable for him who needed to activate [Damage Tolerance].
But this...
Su Xingyuan raised his pierced arm.
...It's a bit too weird.
He pondered for a moment, pulled out the poisonous stinger, cut off a small section with a knife, and pressed it directly into his left earlobe with his hand.
Bright red, crystal clear blood flowed from the wound and gathered into beads, like a pair of fine ruby earrings.
