Chapter 86

Although Sun Yuan was the first player to clear the God's Tower of Ancient City University, there were still other God's Tower games ongoing at the time, and it was possible that very powerful players could appear in them.

For example, Two-Faced Buddha, Empress of Heaven, and Girl Killer—just hearing their names made them seem incredibly formidable.

Oh!

It was all Silver Horse's fault for insisting on using nicknames, making it difficult for ordinary players to know the true identities of these top players.

Otherwise, they could have avoided them in advance.

"No!"

Sun Yuan denied it outright.

He had only known Qin De for less than five days and basically knew nothing about him besides his name, treating him like a stranger.

Only someone with a hole in their head would tell such a secret to him.

"Leader, you seem very positive, so you wouldn't have a nickname like Two-Faced Buddha, which sounds gloomy and eerie. And you probably don't watch Ultraman. The name Winter Snow sounds like a woman, so you must be the third-ranked Girl Killer, right?"

Qin De tilted his head and sized up Sun Yuan.

To be honest, Sun Yuan had a very high face value, especially his outstanding performance in the game, which added a touch of confidence to his features, making him particularly charming.

Very attractive.

His father had once said that the fuller a man's wallet, the more confident he would be.

So men absolutely cannot be poor.

This was also the biggest reason for Qin De's character; he was willing to sacrifice his dignity and reputation for money and survival.

"Girl Killer, a nickname so awkward it could make your big toe curl—do you think I would use it? And if I did, it would be Big Sister Killer!"

Sun Yuan rolled his eyes.

When Jiang Shudan heard this, she frowned. Big Sister?

Is he hinting at something?

Then, Jiang Shudan looked at Sun Yuan's face, which seemed to carry the bright sunshine of March, and smiled wryly.

I must be overthinking it.

"Besides, who said I don't like watching Ultraman? I think the theme song is pretty good."

Sun Yuan had never watched Ultraman but had seen it in short videos. The theme song was very energetic, and many videos used it as background music. He had seen many people in the comments section asking for the music, so he remembered it.

"You're not in the top five!"

Qin De was a bit disappointed.

Because Sun Yuan's words were natural and smooth, with no obvious flaws.

For example, saying he had watched Ultraman was hard to believe, but mentioning a specific detail would greatly increase credibility.

Therefore, lying should be a mix of truth and falsehood.

Qin De subconsciously said this, then realized he might have offended Sun Yuan, so he quickly added: "But I believe you will eventually reach the top of the personal achievement list."

Actually, thinking about it, Ancient City is so large, there should be many elites. Sun Yuan is just an ordinary college student, so it's not surprising that he couldn't beat them.

"Thanks for the good words!"

Sun Yuan smiled, setting a small goal to become the top player in the Great Flower Region!

However, the Great Flower Region is vast and rich in resources, with many talented people, far surpassing regions like Yingshou, Goryeo, and South Asia. Becoming the top player in the Great Flower Region would mean being the top player in Asia, right?

"Leader, I'll go scout the way!"

Qin De volunteered, planning to check the enemy situation on the street.

"No need, we won't go down the main street!"

Sun Yuan had other plans.

Qin De was taken aback, then understood, slapping his forehead in frustration.

"Why didn't I think of climbing over the wall!"

In the past, climbing over the wall would get you caught by the school security or recorded by cameras, leading to punishment.

Now?

No one would care.

Yes, he should learn from Sun Yuan and not be bound by past norms and rules, as the times have changed.

Speaking of which, Leader's adaptability is really strong, isn't it?

Sun Yuan led the temporary team of over ten people, quietly following the school's perimeter wall. Soon, a wandering spore person appeared in their field of vision.

This was no threat.

Qin De could kill it, but he didn't act, letting Sun Yuan go first.

Killing a spore person gives ten points, not much, but for someone like Qin De, who finds it hard to accumulate points, it's a decent quick meal.

"You go, be quick about it!"

Sun Yuan, as the leader, could easily crush a few spore people's heads with his current physical condition. He didn't care for the meager points.

If he was going to eat, he wanted a big feast.

Moreover, he needed to give his subordinates some incentives!

Besides, Sun Yuan needed to save his strength to deal with the monsters in Yonghui Supermarket.

There would be many, no doubt.

"Thank you, Leader!"

Qin De was delighted and immediately ran over.

The blood-stained crowbar was very effective, and Qin De had clearly enhanced his strength. He easily opened the spore person's hands and smashed its head with one strike.

Ten minutes later, they reached their destination.

Sun Yuan took a few steps back, then sprinted, leaping diagonally upward as he approached the wall. His right foot kicked the wall, and with the momentum, he easily jumped over the wall.

The whole process was smooth and graceful, reminiscent of an ancient knight.

"What are you so proud of? I can do it too!"

Lin Jianrong grumbled, not wanting to be outdone, and tried to jump over the wall like Sun Yuan. However, when he kicked the wall, he realized his legs lacked the necessary explosive power.

"Who do you think you are?"

Qin De mocked, imitating Sun Yuan, but his physique wasn't as good. He managed to get over the wall, but it wasn't as elegant or cool.

On the other side, across a four-lane road, was Yonghui Supermarket.

"Wow!"

Qin De excitedly rubbed his hands together. The parking lot was filled with cars, including Audis, BMWs, and a few sports cars.

Under normal circumstances, Qin De might work his whole life and still not be able to afford them, but now, they were unclaimed, and he could do as he pleased.

There weren't many monsters in the parking lot because, upon seeing the spore people, people would run on foot rather than try to drive.

Why?

The cars couldn't be driven out.

Moreover, the cars themselves could serve as obstacles to help players hide, so Sun Yuan planned to enter the supermarket from this side.

As for the situation inside the supermarket and the number of spore people, Sun Yuan had no way of knowing.

"Do you know this supermarket well?"

Sun Yuan had bought things here many times and knew the layout of the shelves, but he wanted more detailed information.

"Familiar!"

Jiang Shudan shared what she knew, but it was limited to the locations of goods, without more specific details.

"Anything else? Like the location of the warehouse, stairs, fire exits, and fire doors?"

Sun Yuan looked at the players and reassured them, "Don't worry, I don't plan to use you as cannon fodder. Those who know these details will get more loot later."

"I... I worked here for a few months!"

Jiang Tao raised her hand. Her family wasn't well-off, and she was in a relationship, so she needed money and worked as a cashier.

"Good!"

Sun Yuan jumped down from the wall, took out a yellow notebook and a pen from his backpack, and handed them to Jiang Tao. "Draw everything you know."

Sun Yuan asked her three times, ensuring she gave consistent answers, before he was satisfied.

Jiang Shudan watched this and gained a deeper understanding of Sun Yuan's meticulous thinking.

He repeatedly questioned her to help her recall more details and to guard against the possibility that she might betray them.

After all, her boyfriend was dead, and she might act recklessly, pulling everyone down with her.

"Qin De, go scout!"

Sun Yuan handed him the map he had drawn. "Find out the number of spore people in the supermarket and the location of the warehouse. Prioritize this."

Qin De actually wanted everyone to go together, so if they encountered danger, he could use them as cannon fodder to draw fire. However, since Sun Yuan had given the order, he couldn't refuse and had to go alone.

Fortunately, Sun Yuan had already planned the route, which should be safe to follow.

This also relieved many of the team members, especially the short-haired girl Wu Mei and Zhang Qiuman, who were afraid of being sent out.

"Sun Yuan is cold on the outside but warm on the inside!"

Jiang Shudan thought to herself.

Actually, she was wrong. Sun Yuan didn't send the girls to gather information because he cared about them, but because he was worried they would mess up and cause a spore person riot.

Qin De climbed over the wall, carefully crossed the road, and began his mission. Sun Yuan, meanwhile, stayed on the wall, wearing an owl eye mask, keeping watch.

The waiting time was agonizing, like a marathon without a finish line.

The group sat against the wall, not daring to speak.

Of course, even if they were allowed to chat, they wouldn't have the mood or energy.

An hour later, Qin De returned.

When he leaped over the wall and landed in the schoolyard, next to Sun Yuan, he felt a great sense of relief.

Finally safe.

"How was it?"

Huang Liang pressed, and the others stared at Qin De.

"Let him catch his breath first!"

Sun Yuan wasn't in a hurry.

"Monsters... too many."

Qin De sighed. "There are at least three or four hundred in the supermarket. It's impossible to deal with them. We should look for food elsewhere."

The group's expressions turned desperate.

Jiang Shudan turned to look at Sun Yuan, who remained calm, as if he had expected this.

In fact, it was easy to deduce.

This supermarket was the largest in the area, and nearby residents often came here to buy groceries. Having three or four hundred spore people was very common.

Wait,

Could it be that he already has a plan?
