After the Life Simulation ended, Qin Hao hurriedly found Zhu Yilong, wanting to say, "Brother Long, let's give up on this Wind Chime Beast!"
But the words caught in his throat.
There's no other reason, Qin Hao probably already said, the people here won't give up either.
Although the Wind Chime Beast is powerful, a single Wind Chime Beast at the Beast Marquis First Rank level can be killed by a group of them.
After all, a standard Martial Artist team must have a healer, a controller, a tank, an assassin, a ranged damage dealer, and a team leader.
Such a combination is routinely capable of defeating a Wind Chime Beast that is far stronger than itself.
So no matter how Qin Hao tried to persuade them, Zhu Yilong's team wouldn't give up.
If you were to say that we'd encounter someone as severely abnormal as Austin, no one would believe you.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao quickly changed his tune, saying, "Brother Long, actually, I have Dark-Type Superpower. I can help you gather intelligence first, that way we can be on the safe side!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yilong immediately stopped and said, "That's right. After all, this is our first time hunting Wind Chime Beast at the Beast Marquis Rank. Moreover, Wind Chime Beast are extremely rare, and there might be other teams competing for them!"
Hearing this, Qin Hao finally felt relieved.
And so, Qin Hao hid in the shadows and went to investigate.
As expected, Qin Hao arrived at the location where the Wind Chime Beast appeared in the Life Simulation, then stopped to observe.
Just like in the simulation, the Wind Chime Beast indeed rushed over here.
However, since Zhu Yilong and the others weren't there, a fight didn't break out.
The Wind Chime Beast seemed to have just passed through this place and then left in another direction.
Qin Hao remained hidden in the shadows, following the Wind Chime Beast.
Qin Hao believed that Austin's Martial Artist team was also tracking this Wind Chime Beast.
Therefore, a fight with this Wind Chime Beast is inevitable.
To put it bluntly, Qin Hao wanted to reap the benefits.
Although he couldn't defeat Austin, he could immediately snatch the Monster Core after Austin and the others killed the Wind Chime Beast, and then escape into the shadows.
Qin Hao was very confident about his Legendary Talent Dark-Type Superpower.
After following the Wind Chime Beast for about 1 kilometer, they finally encountered Austin and the others.
"Captain, Wind Chime Beast."
"Alright! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Austin said this, then stepped aside and let his team members take action.
Qin Hao guessed that Austin was probably in a similar situation to himself, and hadn't revealed his secret of having Epic Talent — the Black Hole Superpower.
Therefore, it's highly likely that Austin possesses other superpowers besides the Black Hole Superpower.
The more Qin Hao thought about it, the more terrifying Austin seemed. He knew that in the Life Simulation, Austin had already exceeded the limits by simply demonstrating his Black Hole Superpower.
Sure enough, Austin made his move when the team members had almost defeated the Wind Chime Beast.
Austin threw the dark green spear in his hand, which pierced through the head of the Wind Chime Beast.
Then, the dark green spear returned to Austin's hands.
Damn it, I still don't know what his other superpower is!
Qin Hao thought to himself, and secretly crept into the shadows next to the corpse of the Wind Chime Beast.
Just then, a team member took out the Monster Core. Qin Hao instantly made a move, snatched the Monster Core, and then hid in the shadows and quickly escaped.
"Go after him! He's in!"
Austin, furious, gave chase in the direction Qin Hao had disappeared.
Qin Hao was hiding in the shadows and had even applied a Time Acceleration to himself, so his speed was extremely fast.
Soon, Qin Hao's whereabouts completely disappeared, leaving Austin stomping his feet in frustration.
"Damn it! You dare to steal right under my nose! If I catch you, I'll tear you to pieces!"
"Captain, I..."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, Austin slapped the team member responsible for retrieving the Monster Core.
Not only that, the slap was incredibly powerful, sending the player flying.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao rejoined Zhu Yilong's team.
"Brother Long, don't go. That Wind Chime Beast was killed by a very strong team."
"Hey bro, what country are those people from?"
"It's the team from Mefreya Lanfort Academy. Their strongest member is a 10th-level Martial Marquis. That Wind Chime Beast was instantly killed; I saw it with my own eyes."
"Damn, they're from the Lanfort Academy. What a pity, they got a huge advantage."
And so, Zhu Yilong's team had no choice but to leave in the opposite direction from Austin and the others.
Zhu Yilong and his group were all very unhappy because the Wind Chime Beast they had finally found had been snatched away by the people of Meifulia.
The key issue is that those people are a level above them in strength; they can't defeat them even if they fight.
What they didn't know was that Qin Hao had already saved their lives.
If they were to confront Austin and his group, there's no doubt that, including Qin Hao, they would all be killed.
After this experience, Qin Hao felt an intense longing for the Black Hole Superpower.
It's important to know that he can create cultivation techniques at will, and after learning them, one can master the supernatural abilities associated with those techniques.
The group searched for several days in the Otherworld, but all they found was a Wind Chime Beast of the Beast Marquis Fifth Rank.
With Qin Hao secretly using Time Slow skill on the Wind Chime Beast, and with Zhu Yilong and the others working together desperately, the Wind Chime Beast was finally killed.
"Phew, that was close! No casualties. We've hit the jackpot this time."
Zhu Yilong said happily.
"By the way, bro, let's split the Wind Chime Beast Monster Core among the six of us this time."
As soon as Zhu Yilong finished speaking, the other team members looked disgusted and their gazes toward Qin Hao changed.
Qin Hao quickly said, "Ahem, Brother Long, let's not split it equally. I didn't really help much, so you guys can divide it, don't worry about me!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the others' faces softened considerably.
Hmph, you're smart to be sensible, kid.
Everyone else thought that way, but Zhu Yilong didn't. Although Qin Hao didn't help much in the battle, his Shadow-Type Superpower helped him gather intelligence.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to find the Wind Chime Beast, so they have to share some.
"Qin Ruguo, you absolutely must have a share of this Wind Chime Beast Monster Core."
Since Zhu Yilong had already put it that way, Qin Hao didn't refuse any longer.
"Alright, then I'll just take one percent!"
At this moment, Zhu Yilong was about to say something when the other team members immediately said, "Hey, bro, that's great! I didn't expect you to be so generous. I've decided to be your friend."
"Yes, don't worry. If you need any help in the future, just let me know!"
Seeing that his teammates had all said so, Zhu Yilong wasn't stupid, so he just let it go.
Qin Hao finally arrived in Jialing City with Zhu Yilong and the others.
Looking at the Jialing City before him, Qin Hao was on the verge of tears.
He'd been in that Otherworld for almost three months, and now he was finally able to leave.
If it weren't for the system's new feature, the Life Simulator, he probably would have been finished long ago.
