438: Each method

When Qin Shilei heard that the staff was an orange-grade top-tier item, he was slightly surprised but had no intention of satisfying the other party.

He sent another message, "A thousand pieces of Enlightenment Tea will also work, but if so, I will not leave Pretty Country."

You want to establish a heroic image in front of your compatriots, right? Then I'll let everyone see if you can truly ignore such a huge temptation and continue to be a hero.

Steve suddenly said with a tough tone, "Qin An King, aren't you afraid I'll cause a huge disturbance in your Great Xia?"

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "You can try!"

His calm words were filled with an overbearing aura that ignored all threats.

The numerous keyboard warriors on Blue Star, uncharacteristically, didn't interject, but quietly watched the two bigshots clash from a great distance.

Steve, unable to fathom Qin Shilei's true strength, was momentarily unsure whether to continue threatening or take the thousand pieces of Enlightenment Tea and leave.

The chat channel also became uncharacteristically stable, without the constant refreshing of messages seen in the past.

After a full three minutes, a survivor from Pretty Country suddenly spoke.

"Steve, please make a small sacrifice and exchange the staff for the peace of our Pretty Country! All of us survivors in Pretty Country will be grateful to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, countless Evolutioners urged Steve to sell the staff for ten pieces of Enlightenment Tea in exchange for Qin Shilei's retreat.

Sitting on the sofa, Steve was so angry that he slammed his palm on the table in front of him, shattering it.

He cursed in a low voice, "You want me to use my own staff to exchange for everyone's happiness? You're all quite calculating, aren't you?"

He never expected that he only wanted to show his face in front of his compatriots, but he had put himself in a dilemma.

Steve, who believed in egoism, would never sacrifice himself for the benefit of others.

In his opinion, he would rather exchange for a thousand pieces of Enlightenment Tea and then go far away than sell his top-tier staff cheaply.

"City Lord, why don't we give Qin An King a hard blow? I don't believe he truly disregards the lives of his subordinates?"

A Bearded Man suddenly suggested.

Steve pondered for a moment and said indifferently, "Qin An King is bullying others with his power, so of course, we won't let him have an easy time. However, before that, we should first strengthen our own power to better resist Qin An King."

In his heart, he vowed fiercely, "You snatched our foundation, so don't blame me for shattering yours as well."

The Bearded Man's eyes lit up, "City Lord, do you still have any way to strengthen our strength?"

Steve smiled faintly, "We can take this opportunity to gather all the Golden Experts in our Pretty Country. Then, we'll help them contract various powerful skeletons from hell. By then, our skeleton army will surely give Qin An Royal Mansion a good lesson."

Without mentioning how Steve used the chat channel and other methods to contact the Golden Experts in Pretty Country, Qin Shilei had already returned to Brela, and An Qian and the others had also arrived there.

An Qian asked in confusion, "I saw on the leaderboard that Steve is only a Golden Six-star. How could he easily injure Mu Ziping and the others?"

Qin Shilei explained, "The ones who injured them were a skeleton with a sword and shield and an ice-ability skeleton. Based on my estimation, both of those skeletons have Platinum mid-stage or higher strength."

Zhang Xiaoli frowned and said, "They are actually Platinum Realm pets, and there are two of them, both skeletons. Could it be that the other party has mastered a method of contracting skeletons from another world?"

Qin Shilei was also a little puzzled by this point.

Even with his numerous methods, he had not yet managed to help Zhang Xiaoli and the others contract another Platinum Realm pet.

The gap in mental power between Golden and Platinum is still very large, and it is extremely difficult for a Golden Evolutioner to successfully contract a Platinum Realm pet.

For this reason, Qin Shilei could only use the 'Gluttony' entry to help Kong Qingshu and Zhang Xiaoli's Gold Beetle advance to Platinum.

As for An Qian's Wind Demon King, because its eating ability was too poor, they had to find another way.

"Once Steve is captured, all mysteries will naturally be revealed."

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "Since the other party did not agree to the trade, it is very likely that they will attack again. And this time, they will certainly show no mercy. They must hope to threaten us to leave Pretty Country by killing our people."

Kong Qingshu suggested, "Then should we concentrate the Night members in a few cities, and then the four of us can split up and stake out, maybe we can catch them."

Qin Shilei nodded, "This plan suits me perfectly."

Having made their plans, they immediately split up and acted.

First, Qin Shilei used the Blessed Land to concentrate the personnel from eight cities into four cities.

Next, Qin Shilei sent out King Kong and the Purple Armor Bugs to patrol around the surrounding cities.

Finally, he had the Night members lead some Silver subordinates to hunt outside the cities.

Qin Shilei thought for a moment and then gave the Faceless Mask to Mu Ziping, telling him to ride the Golden Winged Thunder Roc and patrol back and forth between the four cities.

At this time, Steve had already found and persuaded about ten familiar Golden Experts, and had also helped each of them successfully contract a Platinum Realm skeleton.

Just as he was about to continue subduing the rest of the Golden Experts, a middle-aged man walked in.

"Lord Thor, it's not good, Qin An King has posted another bounty on the chat channel."

Steve's expression changed, and he quickly opened the chat channel to find the bounty.

"I, Qin Shilei, will help anyone who provides information leading me to Steve become a Platinum Expert within half a year, and will also gift them one hundred pieces of Enlightenment Tea."

As soon as Steve saw this bounty, a bad premonition immediately arose within him.

He looked up at his subordinates around him, always feeling that their eyes held the fierce light of betrayal.

Even someone as powerful as him wasn't very confident that he could become a Platinum Expert within half a year.

Steve didn't believe that those Golden Realm subordinates wouldn't be tempted when they saw this bounty.

Under his suspicious gaze, those subordinates quickly expressed their loyalty, "City Lord, we will never betray you. Besides, we already have a Platinum Realm pet now, so we are not so urgently hoping to advance to the Platinum Realm."

Steve's confidant also spoke up to warn, "Don't even think about defecting to Qin An King. Maybe you'll sell the City Lord, and then Qin An King will turn around and destroy you."

Just then, Steve's sound transmission talisman rang.

"Steve, I've thought it through. I'm with you from now on. We absolutely cannot let Qin An King lord it over us in Pretty Country. Just don't fool me; you must help me contract a Platinum Realm pet when the time comes."

The voice from the sound transmission talisman was indeed that of a Golden Expert Steve knew.

However, at this moment, Steve had a hint of suspicion about the other party's motive.

Did the other party make this decision after seeing Qin Shilei's bounty?

Would he try to find out his whereabouts and then turn around and sell him to Qin An King?

After a moment of contemplation, Steve still found a reason to temporarily decline the other party's request to meet.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he said harshly, "Since Qin An King isn't giving me a way to live, then let's give him a lesson first!"
