Surprised by the other man's persistence, Li Xian stopped by the door:

"What can you offer?"

Seeing room for negotiation, Jiang Yu brightened and hurriedly pulled something out from behind his back:

"I know where the Small Town's Exit is."

Li Xian glanced at the familiar yellowish-brown paper in his hand, then turned away, uninterested:

"Not interested."

Li Xian's reaction was completely unexpected, leaving Jiang Yu stunned. He had been so confident in his bargaining chip.

"Wait!"

Jiang Yu's mind raced, and he gritted his teeth:

"Items. I can trade items!"

Jiang Qiuyue folded her arms and watched Jiang Yu with amusement:

"What do you want from us that's worth spending so much?"

For a player like Jiang Yu, giving up any advantage was harder than climbing to heaven. Unless he could get something of equal value in exchange, he would never casually offer items as payment.

Sure enough, he fell silent for a while at the question. While he considered his answer, Song Qingzhang came to the doorway because Jiang Qiuyue had been gone so long. He frowned slightly at the sight of Jiang Yu.

After looking around, Jiang Yu lowered his voice. "Your Doll Costumes... could you spare one for me?"

As he spoke, Jiang Yu tightened his grip on the Map and looked at the nearly identical sheet of paper in Li Xian's hand. Only then did he understand why Li Xian had refused so quickly.

He had gone back to the Toy Factory yesterday and barely managed to steal a Map before his item's duration ran out. When he saw the word "Exit" on the Map, his heart sank.

He no longer had any items that would let him sneak into the Toy Factory again. If he couldn't find another way, he was certain to die.
