The surrounding players were completely silent; the previous clamor had vanished without a trace. Everyone stared at Qi Xu in the center of the arena, their eyes filled with shock...
Suddenly I understand why Invincible Black Whirlwind is number one on the server! If she's not number one, who is?
A puppet can never replace a real person, and props can never match the accumulated strength over time!
Qi Xu watched his bragging points skyrocket, enjoying the tearing pain from his wounds, and let out a soft sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had maintained his dignity as the top-ranked player...
"Whirlwind Boss is awesome! That's a real boss!"
"That last move was amazing! The precise timing and timing of the play were incredible, it gave me goosebumps!"
"I was tempted to buy the perfume before, but now I'm completely sober! Putting your life in the hands of a prop is no different from suicide, damn it!"
"Waaaaah, I sold several memory fragments and just bought Victory Perfume! Damn it, how can I dare to use this!"
A murmur of discussion arose, and the players who had initially been lured by the perfume of victory were now filled with lingering fear. Someone pointed to the player still trembling on the ground and whispered, "Look at him, he was completely like a puppet just now, it was terrifying."
The manipulated player took a long time to recover. Looking at Qi Xu's body covered in wounds, he suddenly knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling with tears: "Boss Whirlwind, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have bought this lousy perfume, it almost ruined you!"
Qi Xu waved his hand, his voice hoarse but steady: "It's just that the traps in this instance are too vicious, you're just stupid."
Player: ...Being scolded makes me feel much better. It's okay, it's okay. Most people don't even have the chance to be scolded by Invincible Black Whirlwind...
Qi Xu glanced again at the body's stats, which were already nearing their peak, then turned to the cartoonish man in a suit whose face was ashen and whose forced smile was barely holding on. "You just said that the perfume's effect would only be broken if he shouted 'I surrender' or 'I'm dead'?"
The cartoon character in the suit had a darting gaze, but he forced a calm demeanor. "Yes, yes, this is the rule for using Victory Perfume. Dear customer, I'm sorry for causing you some extra harm. You don't seem to be in very good condition. Why don't you come with me to rest for a bit?"
Qi Xu raised an eyebrow. This was a blatant scheme. Even if you saw through my intentions, you would still be under my control.
Otherwise, even if your body's two stats explode, you'll still die. So, there are some things you shouldn't say, so don't say them!
It was clear that the cartoon-suited man was genuinely afraid of the situation getting out of control and worried that Qi Xu might say something more.
This was only the first day in the dungeon, and Qi Xu wasn't in a hurry at all; he was taking his time.
"Okay, get me some staff meals, and then find me a place to rest, is that alright?"
The cartoon figure in the suit smiled insincerely and stiffly, "No problem, this way please."
Qi Xu casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, showing no concern whatsoever, and followed them into the Treasure Pavilion with an air of superiority, just like a high-ranking official on an inspection tour.
But the players who hadn't yet dispersed remained rooted to the spot for a while before some discussion broke out again...
"No wonder Boss Whirlwind would rather fight than admit defeat, she's..."
"Alright, just know it, there's no need to say it out loud."
Today, the "Treasure Pavilion" finally became deserted.
At least after Qi Xu and that player finished fighting, almost no one followed them in to buy more items.
