71: Inseparable

“Uh... even if you didn’t say it, I would still do it.”

“That would be great.”

Liu Shihhan looked satisfied.

“It’s best if the school makes an announcement to the whole school, criticizing the two of us severely!”

“Miss Liu, that’s enough!”

Xiao Yun was on the verge of collapsing.

What on earth was this Miss Liu thinking?

If rumors of him and her spread, wouldn’t her admirers and secret crushes beat him to death?

However.

At this moment, Xiao Yun wasn’t afraid of others causing trouble.

After all, the skills unlocked through the system could also be used in reality.

Once the exoskeleton was activated, and he pulled out his family heirloom dagger to accelerate, if he couldn’t win a fight, couldn’t he at least run away?

Moreover.

At this moment, Xiao Yun had already experienced a million withdrawals.

If the school knew, even if they thought Xiao Yun was in an early relationship, they would turn a blind eye.

After all, he and Liu Shihhan were both adults and would graduate from school in two months; the school wouldn’t put too much pressure on them.

“Forget it, do whatever you want.”

Xiao Yun spread his hands, helplessly.

......

Leaving Nine Warehouse, Xiao Yun first went to the Exchange.

He cleared out the supplies from the last round, excluding the blade server, and sold them for 350,000.

Adding his previous savings, his account balance was exactly 1,100,000.

To upgrade his family heirloom dagger, he still needed to earn another 200,000.

Therefore, Xiao Yun planned to quickly run another round to earn about 250,000 and then withdraw immediately.

Liu Shihhan originally wanted to go with him, but her father called and told her to go home early.

Before she left, Xiao Yun also gave her the blade server.

For this, Xiao Yun even specifically kept the bot backpack he found in the match, letting Liu Shihhan carry it.

As for the other big red items, Xiao Yun was not in a hurry to sell them.

Even if he gave them to Liu Shihhan, he felt uneasy.

After all, he didn’t know the personalities of her family members, and it would be bad if it caused unnecessary trouble.

“Sigh, I’m really reluctant.”

Xiao Yun patted the backpack Liu Shihhan was carrying, his eyes full of reluctance.

1,200,000 a year, he wondered when he would get that money.

If it were a one-time payment of 1,200,000, it would at least be enough to upgrade the family heirloom dagger several times.

“Wha... what do you mean! We’ll see each other at school tomorrow morning anyway, why are you so reluctant...”

Liu Shihhan’s cheeks flushed slightly, and her tone became very gentle, clearly having misunderstood.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun’s eyes twitched.

“I was talking about being reluctant to part with the blade server.”

“Hey!”

Liu Shihhan immediately reacted.

This guy, he was actually reluctant to part with the blade server!

Am I, the dignified school beauty of First High, not as important as a blade server?!

“You...”

She clenched her small pink fists, then released them, then clenched them again, then released them again.

Xiao Yun just gave an awkward smile; how could he have known Liu Shihhan would misunderstand!

“Forget it...”

Liu Shihhan sighed softly.

“I’ll help arrange the rental of the blade server, don’t worry.”

“Alright, then I’ll wait for your good news.”

Just like in the morning, Liu Shihhan had a dedicated driver to pick her up.

When the black Mercedes with the standing emblem stopped in front of them, Xiao Yun didn’t approach.

“Xiao Yun, see you at school tomorrow~”

As soon as Liu Shihhan got into the car, she quickly opened the window and waved at Xiao Yun.

“Remember not to oversleep tomorrow morning; there’s a student assembly at 8 o’clock, and the most important thing then should be the announcement of the guaranteed admission slots.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded silently.

Originally, he came to the Forbidden Zone just to run for money, and even the matter of the guaranteed admission slots was told to him by Li Wenzhe.

Everyone else started preparing in advance, only Xiao Yun started entering the Forbidden Zone today.

He didn’t expect to encounter such a good opportunity.

【Withdrawal Successful!】

【Duration: 00:06:29】

【This round’s gain: 353,021!】

Xiao Yun quickly collected enough supplies and returned to the entrance of Nine Warehouse.

In this match, he revived in the west of the Visitor Center, and to withdraw quickly, he didn’t open the large safe or computer in the Visitor Center.

Instead, he chose to farm along the way, the Military Camp, Small Substation, minefield, all the way to the Cement Factory below the western part of the map.

Just as the random withdrawal point opened, Xiao Yun checked the value in his safe and, seeing it was sufficient, didn’t continue searching, choosing to withdraw directly.

He killed a few Machine Bro along the way, but the Gunfire Negotiation skill was still not easy to master, requiring the skill to be activated with the last shot before the enemy died, so Xiao Yun only got two gold coins in this round.

If he were more skilled, getting a few more gold coins, this round would have been a 500,000 withdrawal.

“350,000, even after deducting the 15% tax, it’s more than enough.”

Xiao Yun thought silently.

It was almost nine o’clock at night; under normal circumstances, Xiao Yun would still be in school for evening self-study at this time.

Thanks to a world like the Forbidden Zone, Xiao Yun no longer had to suffer.

And just then, a system prompt also sounded in his mind.

【Ding! Current mission completed!】

【Reward: Random Safe Experience Card x1!】

【New Mission: Defeat a Guard Commander - Saeed!】

【Hint: SS-level Mall has been unlocked. After completing 5 missions, SSS-level Skill Mall will be unlocked.】

“SSS-level skills?”

Hearing the system’s prompt, Xiao Yun was immediately surprised.

He originally thought SS-level skills were already invincible, but he didn’t expect there to be even higher levels!

However...

Even SS-level skill packs cost 5,000,000 dragon country currency each.

How much would SSS-level skills cost? 500,000,000?

Who could afford that?!

“Spending this money, it really is endless...”

Xiao Yun sighed helplessly.

Although he made a lot of money running, he spent even more!

But luckily, these expenses were not meaningless extravagance, but a real improvement of his strength.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun didn’t complain as much.

After all, others couldn’t spend this money even if they wanted to!

Otherwise, with Li Wenzhe’s family wealth, they could easily cultivate a top-tier expert.

“System, open the Skill Mall.”

With a thought from Xiao Yun, a translucent mall panel appeared before his eyes.

【Power Kid Speed Skill Pack (SS-level): 5,000,000 dragon country currency】

【Ultimate Hunter Transformation Skill Pack (SS-level): 5,000,000 dragon country currency】

【Golden Scale Dragon Money-Making Skill Pack (SS-level): 5,000,000 dragon country currency】

...

In the fully stocked SS-level Skill Mall, most of the skills were from games in his previous life.

However, a large portion of them were ones Xiao Yun had never heard of, so he didn’t know their specific effects.

“So many skills...”

With the mall fully unlocked, Xiao Yun felt dizzy just looking at it, and his choice paralysis was about to kick in!

He quickly waved his hand to close the mall panel.

“I didn’t expect there to be so many types of skills in the mall!”

“Doesn’t that mean I can find any ability I want through the mall?”

“But I don’t have money yet, so I’ll just wait until I need a certain type of skill in the future, and then specifically buy the corresponding skill pack.”

Xiao Yun thought silently.

“In short, I’ll upgrade the dagger to max first.”

Saying that.

Xiao Yun continued towards Eight Warehouse, preparing to trade at the Exchange.

However, just then, a familiar voice came from behind him.

“Are you ready for what I told you to do?”

“Young Master Li, don’t worry, this is easy.”

Xiao Yun turned his head to look.

He saw Wang Qiang, for some reason, had met up with Li Wenzhe again, and the two were discussing something at the entrance to the Forbidden Zone.
