Lu Xiaofang's heart pounded, but she remained composed, revealing nothing. She simply said casually, "Number 199 isn't stupid; he can just run away."
"Beast Merchant" Guang Qin: "No, even if a resident dies, it's still considered indirect 'killing,' and there will be consequences."
Slaughter Value
Lu Xiaofang was confused. "That can't be right. When the isolation zone broke, didn't many people die at Test Site 49 as well?"
"Beast Merchant" Guang Qin: "How can that be the same? Back then, it was Fan Cang who broke through the isolation barrier, and all the deaths and injuries were attributed to him. That 199 was also impressive; he truly managed to 'remain unscathed.'"
Guang Qin added, "However, this 199 is probably very weak, maybe about the same as an ordinary person. If he gets caught this time, he'll be completely taken advantage of."
Lu Xiaofang: "... He can't be that weak, can he? He's a ' God-Favored ' after all."
Guang Qin scoffed, "What ' God-Favored '? They're just a bunch of demons. The more they kill, the faster their abilities increase. They're basically..." He didn't dare utter the word "evil god."
After all, the entire Holy City was shrouded in the Skynet.
Lu Xiaofang didn't dare say anything more, "Alright, these are all important people's business, none of our concern."
"Beast Merchant" Guang Qin saw that she still had a...
Salted fish
The playful slacking off wasn't enough for him. "You brat, don't you have any sense of crisis? This is a huge deal! Look at today's headlines, the battle for the God-Favored has reached a fever pitch, every Heart of the Creator is crucial, look... really look, if they could just pick up a Heart of the Creator for free, their abilities would skyrocket!"
Lu Xiaofang swallowed hard.
Seeing that she was finally taking it to heart, Guang Qin was quite satisfied and said, "In my opinion, there are at least three or four ' God-Favored ' squads mixed in with the Three Kills Gang. They're just waiting for 199 to expose his identity and steal his Heart of the Creator."
Guang Qin started to ramble on. "Tsk tsk tsk, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I think the top ten might also be involved. Think about it, they're all clustered together this time. If we don't harvest now, when will we?"
Chapter 91
It must be admitted that "civilian politicians" can sometimes stumble upon the truth by accident.
Lu Xiaofang was on the verge of losing his temper, but thankfully it was reasonable, since it concerned their survival, and it was normal for him to lose his composure occasionally.
The struggle for God-Favored has touched the hearts of many in the Holy City.
Putting everything else aside, the power of that " Creator " alone is terrifying.
Once one becomes the " Creator," one can inherit the Han-Tang Group. Even after the split, the Han-Tang remains deeply entrenched, spanning the entire Holy City and nearly a thousand kilometers in the surrounding area.
This is almost the limit of the exploration range for human survivors after the cataclysm.
Ordinary people had no doubt that this new successor would not only be able to subdue the New Han-Tang in an instant, but would also be able to manipulate the Ten Nations Technology and the Day After Tomorrow Society.
What will the Holy City look like then?
Is life going to get better, or worse?
Even in the downtown area, there's a big difference between eating soft, fluffy steamed buns and dry, hard bread!
"Beast Merchant" Guang Qin said with a hint of smugness, "How about that? Your uncle spoils you, doesn't he? He told you all about such important things."
Lu Xiaofang dropped the pretense, her face immediately contorted with a smirk. "Give me a break. What good will it do to tell me? I'm just a Xiaoxiao 'trading merchant' in the lower city. What use would it be for me to know about these big shots? We're neither God-Favored nor affiliated with any organization. The gods are fighting in the heavens; they can't even see the 'little devils' on the ground."
She patted Guang Qin on the shoulder, seemingly to comfort him, and then continued, "Besides, whoever is the 'emperor' needs the people. I'll just do my job honestly and make sure I don't starve."
Guang Qin was amused by her words: "You're quite philosophical about it."
"Don't worry, the asteroid is coming; we can't run away even if we wanted to."
"Pah, pah, pah! Stop talking such unlucky things!"
The phrase "asteroids destroyed all of human civilization" is taboo.
Lu Xiaofang: "Alright, Uncle Guang, I'll leave the box here and go back to sleep."
Guang Qin waved his hand, and only after Lu Xiaofang had walked away did he realize what she meant—wait, did she insult me? Who the hell is a "little devil" on the ground?!
Lu Xiaofang walked out of the Merchants' Association, her face falling, looking worried.
What should we do?
Test Site No. 49 is a place that the bigwigs are currently supporting.
Lu Xiaofang did not equate the 199th God-Favored with the mysterious big shot.
The former is just
He was just a good person with a conscience—the only exception was that he wasn't blinded by greed and killed countless people.
The latter is a top-tier, mysterious figure capable of hacking into Skynet —this ability must be backed by a massive, unparalleled team.
However, Lu Xiaofang dared to speculate.
The powerful figure likely has his eye on the 199th God-Favored, intending to support them in becoming the " Creator."
Lu Xiaofang couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a big shot, his vision is truly different. The leaders of other organizations are all supporting those ruthless killers, but only this big shot has chosen No. 199, who sticks to his principles."
With that in mind, Lu Xiaofang understood.
She needs to organize the message and send it to the big boss, even though the big boss probably already knows, but she... cough cough, having received at least 250 silver coins, she has to do more.
The experts may know, but that's their problem.
It's only right that she proactively reports.
Lu Xiaofang found a corner to lean against and began carefully editing the text, striving for simplicity and precision, while also indicating the source and that it was "beast merchant" Guang Qin's unreliable conjecture...
I wrote a long, detailed piece, added my own thoughts at the end, attached 25 silver coins, and clicked send.

Song Xiaozhu had already received 100 Trade Value and was very satisfied with it.
She was figuring out how to contact the "architects" in the city through Lu Xiaofang to see if she could quickly get a wave of urban construction projects going and maximize the Construction Value of the village and community.
Just as he was pondering this, he received a message from Lu Xiaofang.
