Chapter 85

Sun Yuan turned his head and glanced at the female college student who had spoken. She had a face that was slightly above average, with short hair.

Seems like her name is Wu Mei.

"Sorry, our team doesn't need any more members right now!"

Zhang Qiuman's tone was stiff as she directly refused. However, when she looked at Sun Yuan, her attitude softened considerably: "Bro Sun, I've already lowered myself so much. Can we just put aside our little disagreement?"

Just thinking about the first day of the game, when Sun Yuan dared to hunt spore people alone, made Zhang Qiuman dare not offend him.

Wu Mei was very disappointed but didn't give up. She decided to stay and wait for Brother Qin to come and plead with him personally.

"Are you threatening me?"

Sun Yuan's eyebrows furrowed. Although Zhang Qiuman was quite attractive, her words made him feel physically uncomfortable.

"I'm a high school alumnus with Brother Qin!"

Zhang Qiuman didn't answer directly, but the mention of being high school alumni was enough to convey her attitude.

I am threatening you.

If you offend me, you'll offend Qin De.

You may be strong, but can you be stronger than Qin De?

Sun Yuan was still hesitating about whether to use the Succubus Nightmare on Zhang Qiuman. Now, seeing her still trying to manipulate him with the mention of Brother Qin, why should he be polite?

Is the top rank on the performance list a joke?

"Zhang Qiuman!"

Sun Yuan scolded, staring at Zhang Qiuman. Just as he was about to use the Succubus Nightmare, Zhang Qiuman exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Qin!"

At the same time, another voice full of surprise echoed.

"Captain? What are you doing here?"

The tall and muscular Qin De rushed into the classroom and in a few steps was in front of Sun Yuan. His face was full of flattery: "Captain, what do you plan to do next? You must take me with you!"

Qin De's sycophantic attitude left everyone stunned.

Jiang Shudan and Huang Liang instinctively looked at Zhang Qiuman.

Is this the one of the fifteen survivors you mentioned? The very strong Brother Qin, Captain Qin?

How come he seems so lacking in presence?

Were you just boasting earlier?

Wu Mei was also dumbfounded. According to Zhang Qiuman, it was very difficult to join their team, but now, their captain actually wanted to follow Sun Yuan...

And his attitude was so humble!

"Brother... Brother Qin?"

Zhang Qiuman was also stunned. What's going on?

Am I seeing things?

Brother Qin, when you were talking about your amazing performance in the Tower of God, you weren't like this!

Do you know you look like a dog right now?

Qin De had previously boasted to Zhang Qiuman, Lin Feng, and other team members about his prowess to boost his authority.

Moreover, his combat power had increased significantly after clearing the Tower of God, allowing him to take down three or four spore people at once without any problem.

This was the reason everyone respected him.

After all, Qin De was genuinely strong.

But now, being so humble in front of Sun Yuan and being seen by his own team, Qin De was a bit embarrassed. However, he quickly shed his shame.

Can embarrassment save your life?

Without Sun Yuan, I'm nothing!

"Captain, I just went to the Talent Supermarket. Everything was looted, but I found a box of Oreo under a shelf. Try it."

Qin De took out a box of Oreo, opened it, and handed it to Sun Yuan.

Jiang Shudan's ears perked up.

This Qin De calls Sun Yuan 'Captain' and seems to respect him greatly. Does this mean Sun Yuan has overwhelming combat power?

Think about it, food is scarce, and everyone is hungry. Qin De found food but didn't eat it himself; instead, he offered it to Sun Yuan. What does this mean?

Zhang Qiuman clearly noticed this blind spot, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

I...

I might have joined the wrong team again?

"These are the temporary teammates I found. I was worried they might die at the Talent Supermarket, so I went to check it out alone. If there's food, we'll act together; if not, we'll go to the Yonghui Supermarket."

Qin De explained his plan.

The underlying message was to show Sun Yuan that he was smart and kind, not sending others to their deaths.

He, Qin De, had the qualifications to be a strong member of Sun Yuan's team.

"Thanks!"

Sun Yuan chewed on the Oreo and glanced at Qin De.

He understood Qin De's intentions immediately.

These people were just cannon fodder to share the risk of spore people attacks. Since the Talent Supermarket might have little left, Qin De took the risk of going alone.

After all, a large group moving together would make a lot of noise, increasing the risk of being discovered by spore people.

By going alone first, he could gain everyone's trust, and it would be easier to use some tricks at the Yonghui Supermarket later.

"Captain, you're thanking me? Isn't that belittling me!"

Qin De was frustrated, weighing the bloody crowbar in his hand: "With the weapon you gave me, how many cookies could I get? Enough to buy the Oreo factory, right?"

Qin De was a smart and emotionally intelligent person. He knew men liked to save face, boast, and be flattered, so he deliberately praised Sun Yuan.

This is called giving someone a boost.

"Enough, enough!"

Sun Yuan stopped Qin De, finding it too sappy to bear.

"Captain, what do you plan to do next? I'll lead the way!"

Qin De rolled up his sleeves, showing a loyal and obedient expression.

"Bro... Brother Sun..."

Zhang Qiuman's expression was timid. She felt she no longer had the right to call him 'Brother Sun.'

Sun Yuan ignored her, took another Oreo, and offered it to Qin De.

Qin De didn't touch the cookies but instead glared at Zhang Qiuman.

"What did you do?"

Qin De was extremely nervous, afraid she would reveal his boasting, ruining his reputation.

"I..."

Zhang Qiuman was about to explain when Qin De's large hand struck her.

Slap!

A slap landed on Zhang Qiuman's face, leaving a five-finger mark and making her stagger, almost falling.

Qin De took a step forward, grabbed her, and slapped her six more times.

Slap, slap, slap!

Qin De's sudden outburst shocked everyone, especially the girls, who instinctively shrank back and hid.

"Damn it, apologize to the Captain!"

Qin De grabbed Zhang Qiuman's hair, forcing her to look at Sun Yuan: "Hurry up!"

"I... I..."

Zhang Qiuman's face was swollen, and her lips were bleeding, making her speech unclear.

She wanted to say, we were high school classmates for three years, even sat together for half a year, and you treated me like this?

And I'm so beautiful; you used to chase after me.

"Apologize!"

Qin De was ready to hit her again.

"I'm... I'm sorry!"

Zhang Qiuman cried, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Let her go!"

Sun Yuan, seeing Zhang Qiuman's pitiful state, hesitated to use the Succubus Nightmare. After all, he was a man and found it hard to bully a weak woman.

"Hmph!"

Qin De let go of Zhang Qiuman.

"Let's go to the Yonghui Supermarket. We've wasted enough time!"

Sun Yuan urged, leading the way out of the classroom.

The college students who had gathered at the door immediately moved aside to let him pass.

"By the way!"

Sun Yuan stopped at the door and turned to look at Zhang Qiuman: "Chu Yuntao is dead. I killed him!"

Zhang Qiuman's body trembled.

"Did you ever think I might be one of the fifteen survivors?"

Sun Yuan was curious. He wondered if she had noticed his Eagle Strike Longbow, which was clearly not a fake.

Actually, Sun Yuan overestimated Zhang Qiuman. Except for him, most college students hadn't seen the game's equipment and thought it was just some cosplay props.

The students weren't stupid. For self-protection, they had gathered various weapons, especially the boys, who had many in their dorms.

Frost's Sorrow, Chaos Blade, fire axes, and even the Turtle Shell from the Turtle Hermit.

"It's all Qin De's fault!"

Zhang Qiuman was on the verge of tears. This guy had boasted so much, saying everyone passed because he single-handedly defeated the final boss.

Plus, Qin De's impressive feat of smashing spore people's heads with a crowbar made Zhang Qiuman believe he was the strongest.

She never thought Sun Yuan could easily take on ten spore people.

"Bro Sun, I was wrong. Please let me join your team? I'll do any dirty or tiring work!"

Zhang Qiuman pleaded, crying.

"Sure, can you be cannon fodder?"

Sun Yuan asked with a smile.

Zhang Qiuman's body trembled, and she didn't speak.

"Damn it, you don't know how I had to beg the Captain to even be cannon fodder!"

Qin De cursed.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Zhang Qiuman had no choice. Without Qin De, what would she do next? She believed that as long as she survived, she could mend her relationship with Sun Yuan.

This is the third time. I absolutely can't make the wrong choice again.

Lin Jianrong watched this scene, stunned. So, Sun Yuan is this powerful? Being able to act with him is actually a stroke of luck?

Wu Mei, seeing Sun Yuan walk past, flicked her short hair, feeling extremely embarrassed and wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

I actually wanted to join Qin De's team.

This behavior was truly stupid.

Wu Mei was prepared for a scolding from Sun Yuan but soon realized he didn't even notice her.

Makes sense, I'm too insignificant.

"Captain, is the top-ranked Wild Prophet on the performance list you?"

Qin De was curious.

Jiang Shudan, standing nearby, immediately perked up her ears to eavesdrop.
