Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 61: Two People Form a Group

Heartache?

Not much...

The fairly robust Cao Xuande leaned against the cave wall, quickly tending to his bleeding wounds, and grinned as he replied:

"Don't be fooled by how incredibly powerful this thing is; the conditions required for its effectiveness are absolutely impossible! Who can meet those conditions these days?! Wouldn't you just be wasting your money buying it?"

His expression showed some helplessness, but it quickly turned into relief.

Cao Xuande wasn't stupid; how could he not see the power of the [Wind and Fire Frenzy]?

It's already lucky to get a high-quality item from a box, let alone one with such comprehensive skills!

He wouldn't sell it cheaply if he didn't urgently need the money; it would just sit there gathering dust.

But right now, it's precisely the time for him, as the leader, to step up and take charge.

【Qingshan Zhiguang】possesses three top-tier players: Bayi Caidao, Xiao, and Ye Zhanqing, making it the undisputed number one guild, leaving Cao Xuande speechless.

But how come they were able to build a guild base so quickly?!

Don't we all take different amounts of time to develop?

Last night, someone also died in the game "Heroic Ambition".

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

Moreover, these were employees he knew in real life.

The message "President Cao, save me" sent by Cao Xuande before his death made the usually confident, even arrogant, Cao Xuande somewhat less confident.

Unlike other bosses, Cao Xuande still had some ambition and spirit.

That's why I'm putting in so much effort to compete for the top spots and form guilds—I want to lead my brothers in a real strategy game!

Realize alternative dreams that were previously impossible!

Once again, he became a star surrounded by admirers!

But now, his brother is dead.

Both logically and emotionally, he, as the leader, has to do something.

Otherwise, people's hearts are unpredictable, and once they fall apart, the team will be difficult to lead...

"The base must be built today! It gets dark at eight, so we need to gather all the resources and start working by three! I have to earn this money!"

Having made up his mind, Cao Xuande stopped hesitating.

I'll keep it for my own use; who knows when I'll meet the requirements to use it!

Just considering the attributes, both Constitution and Spirit need to be ten points each. How many levels would that take?!

The future depends on the present; let's reunite with the brothers first!

Thinking is one thing, saying is another.

You can't be too honest when selling things. Cao Xuande admired Xiao's selflessness and kindness, but now that it was his turn to make money, he still couldn't "take a loss" too much.

It's time to use the right words and techniques.

[Cao Xuande: "Brother Xiao, I have absolutely no qualms about selling this to others! But your Green Mountain Light has helped me a lot, selling it to you would be harming you!"]

Ling Xiao's heart sank, and he subconsciously thought of some bad hidden dangers.

Could it be that if this thing is used for a long time, it will not only kill the enemy, but also explode on its own?

[Xiao: "What potential problems are there? You might as well be frank. Since I've set my sights on something, I'm prepared to pay."]

There's hope...

I'm so sorry!

Cao Xuande: "No, the effect is definitely strong! But it's still the same problem. If you buy it and can't use it, you'll come to me for a refund, but I need to spend the money as soon as I get it!"

[Xiao: "I know. As long as you're willing to sell, I'm not short of money. I'll keep it for now and learn it later when my attributes are sufficient."]

Damn it...

So this is how hateful rich people are!

While I'm going to all that trouble for a pittance, others are already buying it to collect and enjoy...

Cao Xuande suddenly realized that he was quite annoying before, but fortunately, the other party was willing to pay money now, which was the best outcome.

Anyway, the advice had already been given, and [Xiao] himself was willing to accept it.

If he regrets it, he'll always have his word beforehand, and he'll be perfectly justified!

The seller stopped pretending and opened his blood-red mouth to "bite" away Ling Xiao's "huge sum" of one thousand copper coins.

Both sides were very happy and felt they had gotten a great deal.

Looking at the four-figure sum of money suddenly appearing in his backpack, Cao Xuande smiled genuinely.

"Sigh... Is it really okay to fool people like this? They'll actually buy it after just a bunch of hype? How long will it take to get ten attribute points?!"

"Tsk tsk... Forgive me, forgive me! Boss Xiao, you'd better keep your composure, or you'll regret it and come after me..."

The rest of the members of [Heroic Ambition] have been working tirelessly to earn money, and now that he, as the guild leader, has collected the bulk of the funds, the second guild base is finally ready to be built!

"What are you laughing at? Which girl are you thinking of?"

Qi Heng noticed the smug smile on Ling Xiao's face and asked curiously, "By the way, have you seen that [World Quest]? I reckon I should be able to finish the bonus content around the day after tomorrow!"

"【Demonic Tide】...That name sounds exciting! It'll probably be tough to handle, which is why they gave us a chance to know in advance, instead of it happening all of a sudden!"

Lost in his own analysis, Qi Heng noticed that Ling Xiao was distracted, so he went up and elbowed him.

"He chuckled! He's piqued my curiosity again! Let's get started!"

"Holy crap!?"

Seeing the layer of "flames" that suddenly appeared on Ling Xiao's body, Qi Heng's hands surged with lightning, almost slapping him to help his brother deal with the sudden attack.

"No! My new toy!"

Feeling the flow of Qi through his fingertips with novelty, Ling Xiao tried out all the special effects, and the results were surprisingly good!

The target stone shattered instantly, and that was even with him controlling his output.

"What's wrong? Why are you on a fever?!"

"What do you mean 'burning'? This stuff is called '罡气' (gāngqì)! 罡气, do you know what that is?!"

Ling Xiao showed it to him for a long time, but when he got tired of it, he put it away. Unexpectedly, Qi Heng refused to continue.

"I want one too! I don't care what it is, I want one first, is that okay?"

"You want it, but I have to have it! You can't share this skill with others after you learn it. So, next time it appears in the trading section, I'll buy it for you, okay?"

"hey-hey!"

Having achieved his goal, Qi Heng's mood immediately brightened, and he flattered, "Brother Xiao is the best! He always thinks of his little brother Heng! From now on, when we're fighting monsters, you can just stay in the back and prepare to collect the corpses! I'll make sure you get all the credit!"

"Get out of here! Who's going to collect it? Who's going to handle it?!"

……

The latest novel is first published here!

The two embarked on their journey once again.

Not all members of the hunting team rushed in this time, because this was a high-risk cavern where high-level monsters had been previously discovered.

Some people were even injured while conducting a thorough investigation.

"Go back to the doctor and treat it with the medicine directly. Don't skimp on it."

"Life and death are unpredictable in this hellish place, so don't develop the bad habit of forcing yourself to endure hardship!"

After examining the wound, Ling Xiao gave a brief instruction.

The injured person did not show any irritability or bad luck; on the contrary, they were somewhat excited, feeling that they had made some contributions to the team and helped out.

After numerous battles, both large and small, the prestige of the three guild leaders has been established.

At least in terms of commanding the enemy, everyone trusted and followed Ling Xiao's orders.

Everyone thought that preventing them from going down into the underground caves was to protect themselves, and no one thought that the big boss was afraid they would share experience points.

Ling Xiao really didn't have that idea.

To him, these people were not competitors.

Or rather, he currently has no enemies in the entire region.

Only those few...

"Shall we go? A level 9 elite monster is worth a good fight!"

"Indeed, it's a good time to test the power of the new toy!"

Raising its head from the warm pile of entrails, it was the second wave of ants to have come to bother it that day.

like……

Is it better than the previous one?

wrong!

Much stronger!

"What are you looking at!?"

With others around, Qi Heng was a little reserved, but now that Ling Xiao was by his side, he couldn't be more excited!

It let out a strange howl and went into full power.

He charged forward first, using his gun as a club to carry Lei Bao, and smashed it down directly on his head!

With his confidence fully restored, Ling Xiao no longer needed to stand by his side. His body was ablaze with qi, and he moved forward at a speed no less than Ling Xiao's!

The monster, still in a daze, hadn't even finished its lunch when the two of them unleashed a barrage of heavy blows at it!
