Chapter 280 These sweet potatoes won't kill me.
"Snapped!"
Shen Taiyang's face was turned to one side by the slap, and blood mixed with saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, falling onto Gu Jingchen's wool carpet.
"Shen Taiyang, you almost killed me!"
Gu Jingchen roared, still feeling unsatisfied, and slapped Shen Taiyang a few more times.
Shen Taiyang's head buzzed instantly, his vision blurred, and his body trembled, almost causing him to fall.
Ignoring his physical discomfort, he instinctively knelt down to admit his mistake, but his face was swollen from being slapped and his speech was unclear, which only made Gu Jingchen more irritable.
"Get out, get the hell out of here!"
"The howling of Lao Da is better than the monk's air."
Shen Taiyang covered his face and went outside. Back in his assigned cabin, he burst into laughter.
The corners of his mouth curled up, tugging at his wound. He hissed and dared not make any sudden movements.
He had asked for help early in the game, and knowing that the gold coin merchant liked dungeon-specific items, he sold the Stone King's teleportation card to the gold coin merchant.
I only wanted to earn some gold coins, but it turned out to be an unexpected good thing.
Now things are really messed up. Gu Jingchen originally couldn't bring himself to be ruthless towards Lu Youyou and even fantasized about getting along peacefully with her, but now he has completely become Lu Youyou's enemy.
They were completely on the same side as him, dealing with Lu Youyou.
"Dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Shen Taiyang changed to an expression of regret and self-reproach as he opened the door.
His expression relaxed a little when he saw it was Zhang Yao.
After Zhang Yao entered the house, he closed the door tightly.
"What are you doing here now?"
Zhang Yao smiled and said, "Congratulations, boss! Gu Jingchen has completely made enemies with Lu Youyou. Your grand plan is about to succeed."
Shen Taiyang scolded, "Don't call me boss. It's not the right time yet. If Gu Jingchen finds out, none of us will survive."
Zhang Yao bent his index finger, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses into the right position, and laughed heartily.
"These rooms are soundproof, what's there to be afraid of?"
Shen Taiyang didn't dwell on the form of address for long, but gave a subtle, threatening reminder.
"Gu Jingchen must have grown tired of me. You shouldn't have come to me at this time. After all, you are his manager and his best friend since childhood."
"Don't worry, boss. I told Gu Jingchen that I was here to teach you a lesson. He'd love for me to torture you in the room for as long as possible."
Shen Taiyang smiled with hatred, a good idea welling up in his mind.
"Zhang Yao, more than half of the gang must be dead, right?"
"Not only that, but out of the gang of several hundred people, only a few people who left the game early survived, apart from the gang leaders. The rest all died in Lu Youyou's relentless bombardment."
Shen Taiyang laughed even more heartily.
After laughing enough, he said, "It's time to put the people I asked you to find to good use. Have them join the gang in batches, but don't give themselves away."
"Yes."
"By the way, mention Lu Youyou to Gu Jingchen more often and incite them to fight to the death, so that we can reap the benefits later."
"Yes."
……
hum-
Lu Youyou was eating a fast-moving sweet potato when her watch kept vibrating.
Upon opening the message, it turned out that Gu Jingchen had tagged him in the public chat, along with some other people who were just enjoying the drama.
Gu Jingchen: Lu Youyou, you killed most of my gang members for your own mission, you deserve to die! All members of my Invincible Gang will fight you to the death! @Lu Youyou
[Zhang Yao shines brightest: My Invincible Gang is sworn enemies with Lu Youyou! Anyone who has a grudge against Lu Youyou can now join the Invincible Gang without asset verification!]
[Qingqingzi: @Luyouyou, he said he's going to fight you to the death.]
[Be a gentleman: @Sister Luyouyou, come quick! Look how arrogant those people are!]
【…】
Lu Youyou didn't want to get involved, because in her mind, ever since Gu Jingchen started protecting Shen Taiyang, they had been irreconcilable enemies.
But the watch was vibrating so violently, as if she had some terminal illness, her wrist was shaking uncontrollably.
She typed with a frown.
[Lu Youyou: Read. If you tag me again, I'll block you.]
Now it's better; no one's tagging the onlookers anymore.
Lu Youyou was able to quietly finish a roasted sweet potato.
Suddenly, she sighed and thought of the rat king who had lost a finger and was covered in wounds.
I wonder if any of its food supplies were stolen by humans who were forced to do so.
"Ah!"
The King of Mice, who was digging for sweet potatoes, sneezed, and his clay little finger broke off instantly.
It habitually spat out a mouthful of saliva, moistened one end of its muddy finger, and stuck it back to the broken part of its finger.
"what?"
The Mouse King looked at the watch that had suddenly appeared on his left wrist and tilted his head in confusion.
It was so busy digging for sweet potatoes that it didn't even notice when it got a watch.
Suddenly, it realized that only high-level monsters possessed watches.
"what--!"
It emitted a sharp and joyful popping sound.
The mouse members flocked to the scene.
The Mouse King climbed all the way to the top of the pile of golden potatoes and raised his left hand.
"Look! I'm a higher-level monster now!"
"Wow!" came a joyful cheer from the swarm of mice.
An old gray rat, hunched over, stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, I've heard that to advance to a higher-level monster, one must go to the Monster Tournament to choose a profession."
The Mouse King immediately deflated, his loose belly drooping down.
"I've heard that too, but I already have a watch!"
The oldest of the gray mice hears the most.
Having a watch despite never having been to the Monster Convention must mean it's related to humans.
It shared its guess with the Mouse King and thoughtfully reminded him, "Your Majesty, please check your watch; perhaps you can find information about that human inside."
The Mouse King did as instructed and discovered that the watch only had one function called "Friends".
In the "Friends" section, there is only one contact named Lu Youyou, whose profile picture is a tender little green sprout.
"It's Lu Youyou! Is she the human who helped me get the watch?"
Gray Mouse nodded, confirming, "It must be, otherwise why would there only be her contact information?"
The Mouse King asked curiously, "If I give her all the golden potatoes I dug up, will she help me become a true high-level monster?"
The gray mouse was unsure, and its voice trembled as it answered, "King Mouse, I don't know."
Even the most respected gray mouse didn't know that the Mouse King was a bit lost.
It didn't want to give up the chance to become a higher-level monster, but it was also worried that Lu Youyou didn't have the ability.
He tentatively sent Lu Youyou a box of sweet potatoes.
hum~
[Your friend, the Mouse King, has sent you a gift. Please check it promptly.]
"Ok?"
Lu Youyou opened the backpack compartment with a puzzled look.
【Fresh Sweet Potatoes *32: Sweet potatoes personally dug by the King of Rats, containing trace amounts of toxins.】
Contains trace amounts of toxins!
Could it be that the Rat King is trying to poison her with these golden potatoes to avenge her for stealing them?
Such an obvious and rudimentary conspiracy seems like something that the solid-eyed Rat King could come up with.
She returned all the sweet potatoes and gave them as a gift.
[Lu Youyou: These sweet potatoes won't poison me, you can keep them for yourselves.]
