The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 481 - 300: Land of Extreme Evil Invitation Conference!

Su Qi looked at Long Xun's anxious, uncomfortable demeanor as if sitting on pins and needles.

"I'm not even panicked," he thought.

"What are you panicking about?"

This guy... he seems to be on the Universal Bounty List, and his identity is not simple.

After all, the Universal Bounty List could be said to be full of shining stars, but in reality, if someone hasn't reached a certain level, no one pays attention.

And as for Long Xun,

he has something.

From the moment he stepped into the Land of Extreme Evil, he maintained his vigilance, especially as he approached the very center, he seemed to fear the distant depths greatly.

However, Su Qi did not show it.

He just curiously asked,

"Universal Bounty List? What is that?"

If there were a contest for playing dumb, Su Qi would certainly be the champion.

Long Xun, "Don't ask, let's move on."

The two climbed the stairs, and those black-clothed Faceless Dark Walkers did not notice them. Long Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief once they were out of sight.

Meanwhile, Su Qi was muttering to himself, "In our world, generally only the bad guys get bounties. Did you do something bad?"

Long Xun, "....."

He lowered the brim of his hat, somewhat unable to hide his helplessness, and said,

"The Universal Bounty List doesn't differentiate between good or bad, but by value. Anyone with a name can be listed."

"For many powerful people, it's not just about the bounty; it symbolizes prestige that reflects their worth."

"I see."

Su Qi, "So Brother Long, are you on the list too?"

Long Xun sighed lightly, "Stop asking. Knowing too much is not good for you or your world."

"Let's go."

Long Xun lowered his hat brim further and went up the side staircase. Upon presenting something that proved his identity, he entered a private room and retrieved stored items.

As for Su Qi, he didn't peek.

Instead, he began to search for Long Xun's real name on the Universal Bounty List through a card in his hands. His real name was [Long Qixun], but with just a name, it was still difficult to precisely locate him in the vast Bounty List.

Even if the scope was narrowed down to men of Seventh Rank, there were still several million such names.

Su Qi operated the Bounty List card, which could display the various statuses of the Universal Bounty List in real time. He got it from a Venerable.

The Universal Bounty List is divided into the Extraordinary List and the Sequence List, with the latter being for those below the fifth rank.

"But just searching has already cost nearly a thousand Spirit Coins."

Using, viewing, and searching the Universal Bounty List all required spending Spirit Coins, it seems this is also why the Universal Bounty List continues to exist, because trillions of lives provide the necessary energy.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to look anymore."

Su Qi was very interested in Long Xun, and the first time he saw him in the fallen world, he noticed the question mark above his head.

[Dragon with a Secret]

And when Long Xun unleashed his strength, Su Qi also clearly felt a hint of a dragon's roar.

If it were anywhere else... Su Qi would just be curious.

But that world is a World Ship Fragment, and with the Destiny Compass added to the mission undertaken with the Pigeon God, anyone who appears there is very likely there for a reason.

After Long Xun came out of the room,

Su Qi didn't ask what he had taken, but just looked at the top of his head.

[Just retrieved a Dragon Scale]

Long Xun had already put it back into his storage equipment, looking solemn and urgent as if he was under some heavy pressure.

"This expression... looks somewhat familiar," thought Su Qi.

It was almost the same look as when Du En awakened his Divinity.

Like being the only person left in class to bear the weighty responsibility of attendance for everyone who skipped.

No wonder these two... had effortlessly started chatting and rapidly established trust; it turns out there was an air of commiseration and mutual appreciation in their characters.

"They've already left."

Long Xun looked down at the lobby and after not seeing the Faceless Dark Walkers, he relaxed.

"Let's go, we should meet up with the others first."

Su Qi followed him while his gaze turned towards the distance, where an extremely dangerous stare was momentarily cast their way from a hidden spot.

But it was fleeting.

If it weren't for his Angel trait and its sensitive premonition of danger, he wouldn't have detected it.

"Is it aimed at me or Long Xun?"

Su Qi guessed it was likely the latter, considering he himself had made many powerful enemies... few individuals would act rashly without a substantial force.

Clearly, Long Xun was being watched.

Without continuing to peer, Su Qi naturally withdrew his gaze. Whose enemy the other party was, they would soon find out.

Long Xun glanced at Su Qi:

"Why aren't you talking? Are you overwhelmed by all this, or were you scared by those people just now?"

"..." Su Qi, "Both. You see, I'm as clueless as Tang Seng when he first entered Women Country."

Long Xun, "Your analogies are still as incomprehensible as ever."

"But don't worry, I will guide you all until you complete your first expedition and gain a solid foundation and experience. Only then will I leave."

"Consider it repayment for saving me."

Su Qi raised a finger, "You're a pretty good person, you know."

Long Xun, being a man of loyalty, was somewhat embarrassed by the praise and unconsciously scratched his head.

This reminded Su Qi of the first dragon he encountered: it was in that world of the young girl form of the Master of Destruction, the Fire Dragon he had once ridden.

It had even granted him a powerful AOE skill [Fire Dragon Roar].
