- Chapter 45 - Everyone Lines Up to Buy Talismans
At this moment, the screen above the hall began to settle accounts for this mission.
Mission Name: The Man-Eating Hotel.
Mission Difficulty: Four stars.
Mission Completion: 100%.
Mission Level Assessment:
Wang Tingting: B level, awarded 400 experience points, rank rose from 79 to 62.
Qing Li: F level, awarded 1 experience point, rank fell from 90 to 94.
“Damn, the master must be targeted. I don’t believe that the master’s abilities are only F level.”
“What about Wen Yi? I remember he is a strong player ranked 14th, and he failed this mission?”
“Nonsense about strong players. With the master here, all strong players must kneel and crawl.”
Qing Li, who had not yet woken up, had already gained a group of “Li fans.”
In their eyes, Qing Li seemed to become an omnipotent savior, capable of leading them to survive.
At this time, Qing Li finally woke up slowly.
She yawned, her eyes misty with sleepiness gradually becoming clear, and her messy hair, like a bird’s nest, hung over her head.
However, none of the players present dared to look at her with contempt.
Seeing her finally awake, everyone excitedly crowded around.
“Master, you’re finally awake. I want to buy talismans, as many as you have.”
“Get lost, it was clearly me who came first. You move aside.”
“Master, let me buy first. I’ll give you all my popularity points just for your protective talisman.”
Qing Li’s messy hair stood up. She blinked her eyes – so many fortune-bringing children!
It seemed that the talismans she sold before had been effective in the mission, so these players were eager to buy them.
“Everyone, don’t rush. Line up and take your turn. Everyone will get one.”
Qing Li threw the blanket aside, revealing a righteous smile, and looked at the fortune-bringing children in front of her with delight!
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding players quickly formed a long line, even more orderly than standing at attention.
“Master, I want ten.” The first player excitedly said.
In the last mission, their four-person team faced a desperate situation against a vengeful ghost. If it weren’t for one of the female players taking out a protective talisman bought from Qing Li in a last-ditch effort, they might have all perished.
When they saw the vengeful ghost instantly burn to ashes upon touching the talisman, they realized that the quirky little charlatan was actually a true master.
She might even be their future savior.
Qing Li: “Ten for 1 million popularity points.”
The man didn’t hesitate and directly transferred his popularity value to Qing Li.
The second player had a sinister look. When he saw Qing Li, he revealed a weird smile and said, “Master Qing Li, I want a talisman for protection.”
Qing Li raised her eyebrows and flatly refused, “Sorry, I’m not doing business with you.”
The smile on the man’s face froze, and in a hoarse, cold voice, he said, “I’m willing to pay double the popularity value.”
“Sorry, I’ve already said it, I’m not doing business with you,” Qing Li replied coldly, without the friendly smile she showed to other players.
“F*ck, what is this? I’m giving you face by wanting to buy your talisman, don’t be ungrateful.”
At this moment, the man became furiously embarrassed. While cursing, he reached out to grab Qing Li’s collar.
“Boom—”
Before he could touch Qing Li, he was kicked away.
His body hit a pillar in the hall, and he immediately spat out blood.
“Anyone who disrespects our master deserves to die.”
A burly man with a fierce and twisted scar on his face, bulging muscles, about two meters tall, with a shaved head, emanated an overwhelming presence.
The player ranked number 11 is Wei Zhengrong.
His appearance is a surprise.
Don’t be fooled by his bald head; he’s a troublemaker. If he dislikes someone, it’s not uncommon for him to beat them to death.
“Master Qing Li, Miss Bai would like to invite you over. Would you grace us with your presence?” Wei Zhengrong laughed loudly, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
Qing Li’s lips curved with interest. The visitor’s intentions didn’t seem good.
It looked like she had no choice but to comply!
Qing Li followed Wei Zhengrong to the elevator and went up to the top floor.
In the luxuriously decorated European-style vintage living room on the top floor, a woman, not particularly striking but definitely eye-catching, lounged lazily on a soft sofa.
Seeing Qing Li, she smiled slightly: “Miss Qing, I’m pleased you could come.”
Her gentle voice seemed to soothe the soul, involuntarily endearing her to others.
But she was a cunning woman with hidden intentions.
This was Qing Li’s first impression of her.
“You’re pleased a bit early,” Qing Li complimented.
Bai Jinse struggled to maintain her smile.
This young lady wasn’t easy to handle!
“Miss Qing is interesting, and I’m increasingly intrigued,” Bai Jinse remarked, signaling Wei Zhengrong to leave with a glance.
Now, only Qing Li and Bai Jinse remained in the large room.
“Miss Qing is smart, so I won’t beat around the bush. I admire your ability. Your presence gives hope to many despairing players, you’ve even become a savior in some people’s hearts,” Bai Jinse said, moving towards the window. She opened the curtains, revealing a dense fog outside.
Her hand rested on the clear window as if touching the free world outside.
“I hope you can truly be everyone’s savior and lead us out of this hell. I’m willing to assist you with all my power, helping you become our deity.”
Qing Li: “…”
She understood the woman in front of her wanted to play the saint, using love to save all beings.
Unfortunately, Qing Li wasn’t so noble.
“Miss Bai, your surname is Bai, does it refer to the ‘bai’ in white lotus?” Qing Li asked, tilting her head earnestly.
Bai Jinse, hearing the mockery in her words, replied warmly, “Miss Qing, please consider it. I genuinely want to assist you. You might think I’m a saint, but I just want everyone to survive.”
“Miss Bai is truly noble, and I’m ashamed to be inferior. Honestly, I’d like to agree, but your ideas don’t align with our Taoist principles. I can’t go against our ancestral teachings and agree with you, as that would be betraying my masters,” Qing Li said, spreading her hands helplessly.
Bai Jinse, undeterred by Qing Li’s blunt words, asked with a frown, “And what are the rules of Miss Qing’s Taoist school?”
Qing Li narrowed her eyes and smiled, “Our rule is to take money for resolving disasters for others. If there’s money, take it; if not—get lost.”
“So… I wonder if Miss Bai has the capability to pay for 100 players?”
Bai Jinse’s hypocritical mask showed a slight crack…
This conversation, naturally, did not go well.
After Qing Li left, a hint of coldness flashed in Bai Jinse’s eyes.
If something beyond control can’t be used by her, then let it disappear!
