Meeting Zhang Dahai, the Two Women Saw Blood
[200 Xu Lang: Da Hai, where are the easiest places to find supplies now?]
[33 Zhang Dahai: I do have some ideas, and I can recommend a few supply points to you, Lang Ge... But Lang Ge, can you come over now?]
[200 Xu Lang:?]
[33 Zhang Dahai: I need your help urgently!]
A few minutes earlier, in an underground warehouse, the chandelier flickered.
Zhang Dahai quickly searched for supplies and soon found a bunch of bottles and jars.
"Hehe, the basement really is there to store good stuff." He said with a grin, about to make a deal with Ye Fan, who was staying in the dormitory.
Bang!
The locked door was kicked open, and a group of four people stepped in. The first thing they saw was Zhang Dahai and a pile of supplies.
"Let's keep to ourselves!" Zhang Dahai said.
"Zhang Dahai, I know you." After checking Zhang Dahai's information, the burly man at the head of the group suddenly became condescending. "There are only two people in your dorm, the other one is called Ye Fan... Now there's no way out, and no one is coming to help you. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better hand over everything you have."
The other three tacitly blocked Zhang Dahai.
Everyone loves to try and trap someone like a turtle in a jar.
"You're just a second-stage player..." the muscular man continued speaking, when suddenly a whooshing sound rang out.
Zhang Dahai threw a pebble, but instead of hitting the group of players, he smashed the chandelier!
In the instant the basement went completely dark, the muscular man saw Zhang Dahai raise his arm, and a crossbow gleamed coldly.
"So you did all of this by yourself?" Xu Lang glanced at the four people lying on the ground, his gaze towards Zhang Dahai somewhat strange.
Zhang Dahai's appearance was different from when he was seen at the Supermarket; he was wearing a drab gray cloak, making him look like a homeless person.
"Yes, yes, I'm lucky." Zhang Dahai nodded repeatedly.
"They're already incapacitated, why did you knock them out?" Tong Qi asked curiously.
"Learn from past mistakes, so they don't blindly shout to their friends or ask for help," Zhang Dahai explained.
"How did you do that?" Tong Qi continued to ask.
Precisely stunning the enemy—that's no easy feat.
Xu Lang waved his hand, saying, "This is the sea's own business."
Zhang Dahai is capable and deserves his respect.
"Hehe, there's nothing I can't say, it's just a skill called 'Sap.'" Zhang Dahai raised the blood-stained wooden stick in his hand.
Xu Lang nodded. "Okay, I understand the situation. I can help you kill these four people."
Zhang Dahai was overjoyed. "Thank you so much, Lang Ge!"
To nip it in the bud, you have to get rid of the roots. If these four people live, they will cause him trouble sooner or later, but he doesn't want to get involved in Blood Hatred, so he called Xu Lang over.
"It's nothing," Xu Lang waved his hand.
"I know the rules. We'll split the spoils of these four people in half," Zhang Dahai said with a smile.
Xu Lang nodded, took out the Blood Pelican Blade, and handed it to Wang Yazhi.
"Kill them." Xu Lang looked at Wang Yazhi, his tone calm.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yazhi didn't say much. She held the knife to one person's neck, but didn't immediately attack. Instead, she looked at Zhang Dahai and said, "Dahai, we used to be classmates. Now tell me, what you said is true, and you didn't lie to us, right?"
Although killing these people would only bring benefits and no harm, she didn't want to be used as a pawn, and she especially didn't want Xu Lang to be used as a pawn.
Meeting Wang Yazhi's clear and intelligent gaze, Zhang Dahai stated frankly, "Every word is true; they definitely struck first."
"Judging from the signs of a fight, these people surrounded Dahai," Xu Lang said calmly.
Wang Yazhi nodded upon hearing this.
That makes sense; it couldn't be that Zhang Dahai surrounded the four of them!
With that thought in mind, she swung her knife and slashed.
Xu Lang watched quietly from the side.
The reasons he didn't do it himself were twofold: first, he wanted Wang Yazhi to see blood, and second, he didn't want to go too far.
When the Blood Hatred is dispersed, the effect is not so extreme.
This little mechanism was revealed unintentionally by Xu Ruyan.
Things have to be done step by step. He's already killed about ten people during this break, and he's afraid things will get out of hand if he keeps killing.
"Tong Qi..." Wang Yazhi spared one life, handing the blood-stained longsword to the unwell-looking Tong Qi.
Zhang Dahai was secretly surprised.
This senior is ruthless. She usually looks so elegant and refined, but she has a sharp mind that most guys wouldn't have.
"I..." Tong Qi hesitated for a moment, but still took the knife.
After the Blood Pelican Blade finished its kill, the blade's crimson color deepened, the cold gleam mixed with the bloody light creating a poignant and beautiful sight.
The long knife was thrust forward, piercing the heart of the last man with ease.
Tong Qi felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders. Three little ghosts whistled in through the main door and circled around her as if they were guarding her.
Xu Lang patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, and at the same time took the Blood Pelican Blade from her.
[Effect 2 (Blood Pelican): Permanently increases damage by 1 point for each player killed during the game, and permanently increases damage by 10 points for each player killed during the rest period, up to a maximum of 150 points. Currently increased by 40 points]
The Blood Pelican Blade's damage increased by 40 points, and the blade became even sharper.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Dahai was frightened by the little ghost, and when he saw the little ghost surrounding Tong Qi like a servant, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The women around Lang Ge don't seem quite right!
"Let the brat out; the scouts can't be moved around recklessly." Xu Lang comforted her, but he still had to point out Tong Qi's mistake.
Tong Qi nodded and then ordered three little devils to stand guard outside the door.
Next, the four began dividing their spoils.
Too lazy to manage relationships and cultivate connections, Xu Lang took the rest of the supplies from the four people, while Zhang Dahai took the room key. The former was more valuable, while the latter offered a chance to open a treasure chest.
After everyone got what they wanted, Zhang Dahai began to talk about his experience in door-to-door sales.
"Usually, newly built landmark buildings will hide one or two good items, but now they've all been searched out... But there's one more place that I think is very good, although this is just my personal opinion and I can't guarantee it's correct."
Zhang Dahai, with a serious expression, shared his experience without holding back at all, and even pointed out a specific location at the end.
After listening, Xu Lang nodded repeatedly and casually said with a smile, "Dahai, now that Ye Fan has moved in with you, how does it feel to have more people around?"
"That's great. With someone helping me out, at least I won't have to worry about not having enough space in my backpack when I go out anymore," Zhang Dahai said with a smile.
After finishing the formalities, we chat for a bit more casually; this is the communication tradition of Eastern people—otherwise, it would lack warmth and personal touch.
After finishing their casual conversation, Xu Lang and his group took their leave.
Rust Lake Park.
This is the newly revealed area after the game on the Dormitory Building was completed; it had already been searched from the very beginning.
Xu Lang and his two companions went straight to the Lake Heart Pavilion.
The ground of the stone pavilion had been scraped clean with a sharp tool by someone with malicious intent.
"Sister Yazhi, are you really going down there? Or should we come back during the day?" Tong Qi hugged her shoulders, feeling that the place was eerie.
"Yes, I'm a pretty good swimmer." Wang Yazhi nodded.
Zhang Dahai said that the most likely place where the object exists is not the entire Rust Lake Park, but the bottom of Rust Lake.
Only the bottom of a lake could possibly remain unexplored.
"Here, take this." Xu Lang handed a bead to Wang Yazhi.
This is Merfolk Pearl he just bought on the Trading Network. It allows him to breathe freely underwater when held in his mouth. It's a unique level 2 item, but it's very cheap. After all, it doesn't increase combat power. Its main purpose is probably to be used as raw material for a design blueprint.
These kinds of special and rare items might fetch a high price in the future, but most players don't have the luxury of hoarding them.
