Chapter 166: Chapter 126: How to Be Unrivaled in the World (5000 words)

Liao Zhai Group temporary base.

Hu Yiyi rushed here in a fit of rage, only to find her subordinates covered in bruises, which slightly eased the anger on her face.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Sister Hu, we’re fine..."

Seeing Hu Yiyi return, everyone instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, you said the Space Wristwatch was fake. What’s going on exactly?" Hu Yiyi asked.

"It’s like this: after you went after him, Qin Shou tossed out another Space Wristwatch—and that one was the actual Cosmic Creature Metal."

"Exactly! Qin Shou is so cunning. Those people chased after Leng Wanbai, but we haven’t heard about them coming back. They’re likely not going to make it."

"From the way it looks, the Cosmic Creature Metal must have landed in Leng Wanbai’s hands."

The group spoke with unwillingness.

Hearing this, Hu Yiyi’s sharp gaze suddenly fell on the silent Lin Xiaomei.

"Xiaomei, if I asked you to go to Qin Shou and get Leng Wanbai’s location out of him, could you do it?"

Lin Xiaomei shook her head dejectedly. "Sorry, Sister Hu, I... can’t."

"Why?" Hu Yiyi’s brows furrowed.

"Because Qin Shou is already dead."

"Dead?"

Hu Yiyi scanned the group, and they began explaining.

"Sister Hu, Qin Shou really is dead."

"Yeah, we saw it with our own eyes. The kid died horribly, blasted into pieces—there’s not even a trace left."

"True, but he turned out to be unexpectedly loyal. He sacrificed himself to cover for those people’s escape—didn’t even hesitate."

Learning of Qin Shou’s death, Hu Yiyi walked over to Lin Xiaomei and sighed.

"Ah, Xiaomei, I know you and Qin Shou are friends... Don’t be too sad."

Lin Xiaomei crouched on the ground, her eyes brimming with moisture.

"Sister Hu, I’m fine..."

Then, she subtly brushed her fingers across the Space Wristwatch Qin Shou had given her, her heart blooming with joy.

Actors really have such a lucrative future.

"Sister Hu, what should we do now? Should we go find Leng Wanbai to snatch back the Cosmic Creature Metal?" a young man asked.

Hu Yiyi waved her hand. "No, if Leng Wanbai has the Cosmic Creature Metal, the person she’s most likely to contact is Qin Shou.

Now that Qin Shou is dead, she probably won’t contact anyone else.

Let’s stay here for a few days, and if we can’t find her, we’ll return to Northern Dragon Island."

With that, Hu Yiyi glanced at the "grieving" Lin Xiaomei. She was annoyed that Qin Shou had tricked her once, but since he was already dead, she decided to let it go!

...

"Ding! Horror Two-star Monster slain..."

"Ding! Horror One-star Monster slain..."

"Ding! Horror Two-star Monster slain..."

In the Mechanical Ruins, inside a shielded capsule apartment in a mountain valley.

Qin Shou was pan-frying steaks in the kitchen, the successive system alert sounds filling his ears and brightening his mood.

Haha, that kid’s pretty diligent.

The saying goes: "Money comes while you’re sitting at home."

At this rate, he’d recoup his losses in no time.

Qin Shou chuckled, sprinkling his secret seasoning over the steak, releasing an irresistible aroma.

"Big Big Wolf, extra meal!" he shouted.

Big Big Wolf dashed forward, plate in hand, its stubby legs moving in a blur as it arrived by Qin Shou’s feet, eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Hahaha, my dear master, I’m here."

"Here you go."

Qin Shou plated the steak for Big Big Wolf before pulling out an even larger cut for himself to continue frying.

Hmm, this portion’s mine.

"Beep beep..."

Just then, his Communicator lit up.

[Lin Xiaomei: Three days later, Sister Hu will return to Northern Dragon Island.]

Seeing the message, Qin Shou smiled faintly.

Perfect. Once Hu Yiyi left, he could resume wreaking havoc in the Mechanical Ruins.

Pretending to be dead wasn’t just his way of fooling Hu Yiyi and avoiding her pursuit.

It was also his backup plan—if his plan went sideways, he could use his false death to remain hidden and carry on covert operations.

Luckily, he’d successfully tricked Leng Wanbai into entering the System Space, perfectly wrapping up his undercover mission.

With this in mind, he summoned the System interface and pulled up the virtual model he’d adjusted earlier.

Five belts—should make a decent profit.

...

Three days later, the Liao Zhai Group departed for Northern Dragon Island.

In the following days, other factions also gradually left Mechanical Ruins City.

Although Cosmic Creature Metal was precious, securing a place in the Dragon Island competition was also essential.

Mechanical Ruins City returned to its former tranquility.

A week later, Fang Bao and his team restored their underground fortress and went back to exploring Mechanical Ruins City for materials to construct Mechas.

In the Mecha construction chamber, Fang Bao was drenched in sweat, skillfully operating tools to craft Mecha components before assembling the Mecha.

At that moment, a teenager wearing a half-covered Battle Armor walked past him, catching Fang Bao’s attention instantly.

"Qin... wait, Da Lin, your Battle Armor..." Fang Bao called out, stunned.

Da Lin turned back to look at Fang Bao, puzzled. "Fatty, what’s up?"

"Your Battle Armor... did you make it yourself?" Fang Bao asked.

Seeing Fang Bao recognize his Battle Armor, Da Lin immediately grew cautious and stepped back.

"Fatty, don’t even think about going after my Battle Armor!"

He’d found this Battle Armor by accident during a fight with a Mechanical Monster a few days ago.

After testing it, he discovered the armor could enhance his strength by a Star Level—a terrifying prospect.

Da Lin had kept this secret from everyone. For Fang Bao to ask this question, did he figure something out?

With this thought, Da Lin gave Fang Bao a warning look before quickly disappearing from the Mecha construction room.

Fang Bao scratched his head, utterly baffled.

"What’s going on? This type of Battle Armor was exclusive to Qin Shou’s collection... Could it be that the trends have shifted all of a sudden?"
