8: Chapter 8 dropped a mountain of equipment.

Jiang He was silent.

The blueprint for the future that Bai Luoyao proposed was grand, shocking, and filled with endless possibilities.

To anyone yearning to achieve great things, this was a fatal temptation.

After a long while, Jiang He looked up, his gaze no longer wavering:

"Sorry, Miss Bai, I am just an ordinary person. My dream is very vulgar: just to buy my mom an apartment with an elevator in the city, so she doesn't have to live in that old, dilapidated building anymore. As for changing the world?"

He curled the corner of his mouth in self-deprecation.

"With my meager abilities, I'd better not mess up important matters. Not causing trouble for society is enough."

There were no intense emotions, no grand words, only a kind of sobriety and calmness rooted in the soil.

A ripple flashed in Bai Luoyao's eyes, but there was no hint of coercion on her face: "Everyone has their own aspirations. I respect your choice."

"Thanks, Miss Bai."

Jiang He stood up without hesitation: "Old Zhao, let's go."

In the elevator, Zhao Yun scratched the back of his head: "Da He, such a good opportunity just now, you..."

"Old Zhao, remember, we only got this equipment by pure luck. Once we have the money, don't think about jumping into those bigger, murky waters that we can't see through. Living a good life is better than anything else. Being used as a gun for others? We should weigh our own worth."

"Hmm, I'll listen to you."

Back at the rental apartment.

Jiang He felt a mess inside. Although he appeared indifferent on the surface, Bai Luoyao's words still touched him.

A game that changes the world?

Consciousness projection... repairing genes... even immortality?

Is this really possible?

"It's too far away, too unreal." He shook his head and grabbed his game helmet. "Better to make money first."

Logging into the game.

The familiar noise of the Novice Village rushed toward him.

"Damn, Game ID, are you finally willing to come online?"

"You dare to block this young master? Do you have a death wish? Hurry up and sell the equipment to me, or I won't spare you." Zhang Zixuan's veins were popping.

"Young Master Zhang, you are the young master of a listed group, after all. Wouldn't it be better to engage in some real industry investment or play high-end games? Isn't it shameful to act like a bandit robbing people in the game all day?"

"You're courting death." Zhang Zixuan completely lost his composure. He waved his hand violently, and a group of players surrounded him: "Keep a close eye on him for me. If he dares to leave the village, beat him to death."

Jiang He sneered, not taking his threat to heart at all, and turned to leave.

He hadn't walked far when he heard someone calling him.

"Young man, please wait a moment."

Jiang He was stunned. It was actually the village chief. This was the first time an NPC had taken the initiative to speak to him, other than Qiao San.

"Village Chief, do you need something?"

"Yes, I would like to ask for your help."

Jiang He's heart skipped a beat. A quest?

[Ding, do you accept the quest [Village Chief's Plea]: Go deep into the Canyon Forbidden Zone and find the village chief's missing grandson, Xiaohu?]

Jiang He was shocked, but didn't hesitate: "Accepted."

[Target: Canyon Forbidden Zone]

[Warning: This area is a high-risk forbidden zone, monster level unknown]

Stepping out of the safe zone.

It was like a signal flare going off.

Zhang Zixuan, who had been ready and holding in his anger, roared:

"Attack him for me!"

In an instant, dozens of scorching fireballs blasted toward Jiang He.

"Want to touch my brother? Did you ask me first?"

Zhao Yun stepped in front of Jiang He and raised his Holy Shield to block the attack.

- 20

- 20

- 20

"Brother, why didn't you call me for a fight?" Zhao Yun said with a smile.

Jiang He smiled. No words were needed between brothers. He leaped and charged into the crowd first.

He instantly arrived at the front-row knight line.

There were no flashy skills, just simple, extreme slashes.

Wherever he passed, white light ascended.

[Player [Holy Light Shining] has died!]

[Player [Wild Wolf] has died!]

[Player [War Soul] has died!]...

"Heal! What are you priests thinking? Heal quickly!" Zhang Zixuan roared. In the blink of an eye, all the front-row knights had fallen.

"It's no good, Young Master Zhang, there's no time to heal. The other side is killing us in one hit."

"All mages, smash him!" Zhang Zixuan was completely insane, commanding his subordinates to attack.

However, this encirclement turned into a one-man slaughter show for Jiang He.

He kept switching positions. When close, he used his dagger to slash; when his health was low, he flashed backward.

He healed himself a few times while throwing out a few Blood Speech Techniques.

Zhang Zixuan was so angry he shouted: "Damn, are you a priest or a warrior? One moment melee, one moment ranged? And you can even heal yourself?"

Despair.

Extreme despair.

Three minutes.

Less than three minutes.

The team of dozens, which had initially been fully formed, had already lost more than half under the cooperation of Jiang He and Zhao Yun.

"Trash, all trash." Zhang Zixuan cursed and turned to run.

"Want to run?"

"Damn, you dare to kill m..."

A Blood Speech Technique blasted down.

Critical hit triggered: -790

Zhang Zixuan's last half-sentence of harsh words was forcibly cut off in his throat.

The moment he died.

[Ding, detected that the player has anti-rich sentiment towards the target. Do you want to recharge 10 yuan to increase the kill drop rate?]

Damn, why are you insulting people?

Who has anti-rich sentiment?

I don't have any.

"Damn it, recharge."

The next second, a waterfall of equipment poured down.

Longswords, staffs, heavy shields, leather armor, cloth robes, leather boots, rings, necklaces...

It piled up into a real mountain of equipment.

Jiang He's brain went briefly blank from the impact of this inhuman scene.

Is this just killing a player?

This is basically taking out a walking... large-scale strategic supply depot.

"Pick up the equipment, Old Zhao! What are you waiting for?" Jiang He was the first to react, his voice warped with excitement.

The two of them didn't care about their image and scrambled on the ground to pick up the equipment.

The leader was dead.

The remaining team members scattered, not daring to step forward.

They were truly afraid that the other side would throw a fireball at any moment and send them back to the city instantly.

Beep, beep, the friend list flashed.

[Luo Yao]: Jiang He? Just got the news, you exploded Zhang Zixuan?

[Game ID]: [Pick nose emoji] Miss Bai, can we speak properly? What do you mean by "exploded"? I am a decent straight man.

[Luo Yao]: That's not what I meant. I'm asking if you snatched the equipment he just collected for his team?

[Game ID]: [Smug emoji] Roughly, maybe, possibly, should be... exploded a "billion" points, I guess?

After Bai Luoyao's explanation, he learned.

It turned out that Zhang Zixuan had been purchasing equipment.

He had planted hundreds of people and spent a lot of money to acquire it.

It was all to strengthen his own company's team.

As a result, today, the equipment had just been gathered by him.

And then it was... exploded by himself.

[Luo Yao]: That, can I discuss something with you?

[Game ID]: [Alert emoji] Joining you is out of the question. Anything else... depends on the situation!

Seeing this, Bai Luoyao rolled her eyes in anger:

[Luo Yao]: I don't want people this time, I want equipment. How about you pack up the equipment you exploded from Zhang Zixuan and sell it to me? We can discuss the price.

Jiang He's mouth curled up.

He naturally knew that since Zhang Zixuan was purchasing equipment, the Bai Group must also be making plans.

And he had unknowingly become the biggest supplier.

He was secretly happy; he had made a killing this time, and replied subconsciously.

[Game ID]: Don't want people this time? Did you want them before?

On the other side, Bai Luoyao's cheeks turned crimson: "Why did this guy suddenly become so inappropriate?"

"Eh, sister, why is your face red?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing. I'm chatting with Jiang He. He exploded a lot of equipment from Zhang Zixuan, and I want him to sell it to us."

"Oh, then have you finished negotiating?"

"Not yet."

"Then I'll go talk to him."

[Luo Xue]: [Blinking cute emoji] Little brother~ Little brother, are you there? Calling my little brother~~~
