320: Chapter 320 Temperament vs. Caution

Gulp!

The Black-robed Person watched the high-end ingredients that people were arguing over and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He was also tempted.

Never mind this Doomsday World; even in the Dragon Nation where everyone lived in peace and worked happily, someone of his living standard would never get to eat such high-end ingredients.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Chen, saying, "Boss, this guy Qin Ge is deliberately working against you!"

"You make these survivors eat until they're only half-full every day, but he lets them eat their fill and eat well."

"You even have the survivors go out at night to search for resources, but he lets them rest at night and deliberately points out that the night is dangerous."

"This guy wants to disintegrate the army's morale and shake your prestige, Boss!"

Luo Chen clenched his iron fists, his eyes filled with fury.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that after being in this Doomsday World for a while, he would encounter an anomaly like Qin Ge.

He didn't continue his private talk with the Black-robed Person but spoke loudly on purpose, "How much longer do you think Qin Ge can continue squandering like this with his extravagant ways?"

"Even if he is a Rank Four Space-type Ability User, the storage space is extremely limited."

"By now, he has already wasted such a large area of storage space. Even if the remaining space was completely filled with food, how long could it withstand his squandering?"

"The more he squanders like this, the more he will realize how cruel this Doomsday World is once his resources are exhausted!"

Hearing this, the survivors all nodded heavily.

While stuffing the food given by Qin Ge into their mouths, they flattered, "Boss Luo Chen is right!"

"This guy Qin Ge hasn't experienced the cruelty of the Doomsday World at all!"

"Wait until his resources run out, then he'll know how precious food is!"

"We will unswervingly follow Boss Luo Chen!"

"We can tell the difference between one full meal and being full every meal."

In the Doomsday World, those who could survive were neither saints nor fools.

While these people were showing their loyalty to Luo Chen, the seeds of defecting to Qin Ge were sprouting in their hearts.

They didn't plan on making an enemy of Qin Ge.

After all, even if Qin Ge ran out of resources, the three of them were powerful.

Once they finished their food resources, they could just rob Luo Chen's!

Before a winner was decided between Qin Ge and Luo Chen, they would also maintain an attitude of loyalty in front of Qin Ge.

...

On the other side, Qin Ge found a nearby empty villa and settled in for the time being.

Ruan Xingrou slumped her perfect curves onto the sofa that had been wiped dozens of times, gave a lazy stretch, and then touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen. "I'm so full!"

"It's like I've been filled to the brim!"

"I can't eat another bite."

Shangguan Yuer, however, looked at Qin Ge with a nervous expression. "Qin Ge, we were a bit too wasteful this time!"

"In this Doomsday World, before securing an ample food supply, we shouldn't be so extravagant."

"The food you squandered tonight would have been enough for you and us Seven Martial Sisters to eat for over half a month!"

Ruan Xingrou leaned her head back from the sofa.

Through the collar of her hanfu, more than half of the round curves could be seen.

Crystalline white and translucently tender.

She whispered softly, "Qin Ge, we won't end up like those survivors in the shelter, starving until we're sallow and emaciated, will we?"

"If we become skin and bones, wouldn't our bellies bulge just from eating a little bit? Seeing it move would be so creepy!"

Qin Ge smiled and shook his head. "That won't happen."

"I'm not as kind as you think, to squander life-saving food resources on strangers I don't even know."

He looked toward the Revered Master bedroom and said calmly, "I'm going to set up the bedroom for tonight. You two chat for now."

As Qin Ge left, Shangguan Yuer glanced at Ruan Xingrou and muttered softly, "Qin Ge couldn't have... stuffed the food resources into a small warehouse, right?"

Ruan Xingrou rolled her eyes. "Fifth Senior Sister, stop worrying about nothing. Since Qin Ge has spoken, he definitely won't let us go hungry."

She beckoned to Shangguan Yuer and urged in a low voice, "Fifth Senior Sister, come here."

Shangguan Yuer frowned, her heart always uneasy as she stepped forward. "What is it?"

Ruan Xingrou said, frustrated by her lack of initiative, "Right now, it's just the two of us alone with Qin Ge. Do you know what being alone means?"

Shangguan Yuer's mind was only on how to survive in this Doomsday World. She shook her head, completely bewildered. "So what?"

Ruan Xingrou clenched her small fists. "So what? It's just tonight. By tomorrow, who knows how many more martial sisters will show up."

"When that time comes, we'll have more competitors. Even if we wanted to launch a night raid on Qin Ge, we wouldn't have the chance; he'd be snatched up."

"In other words, tonight is the best chance for us two sisters to take down Qin Ge. We can't miss it!"

Shangguan Yuer said in shame and annoyance, "What kind of time is this, and you actually have the mood to think about such unreliable things?!"

"This is the Doomsday World; life is uncertain, and even eating one's fill is a luxury."

Ruan Xingrou curled her lip. "Did Qin Ge not let you eat your fill? Or are you unsafe following behind Qin Ge?"

"Those zombies, and especially those Ability Users—never mind comparing them to Qin Ge, even I could crush everyone in Luo Chen's shelter!"

"You have to realize, Qin Ge isn't suppressed in combat power in this Doomsday World."

"I think even if Revered Master were to come in person, at this moment, in front of Qin Ge, she would just be a nobody on the roadside!"

Shangguan Yuer bit her moist lip.

The words were crude, but the logic was sound.

But wasn't Sixth Junior Sister's choice of words a bit too crude?

No matter what, that was the Revered Master of the Seven Martial Sisters.

To describe her as a nobody on the roadside was a bit much.

At the very least, she should be like a common zombie they face now, right?

"As you say, this opportunity is indeed once in a lifetime."

Shangguan Yuer narrowed her beautiful eyes, suddenly hardening her heart.

In Yunding Manor, she indeed had thoughts in this area and had even plied Qin Ge with strong liquor.

She had wanted to get Qin Ge drunk so she could present him with a fait accompli.

After all, she felt that she had no other choice besides Qin Ge.

After spending a long time with Qin Ge, looking at anyone else just didn't feel right.

Talk was cheap, and having a prepared mind was one thing.

But when it actually came time to put it into practice, Shangguan Yuer wilted again.

Unlike others, Shangguan Yuer had truly, realistically, and clearly witnessed the 'grand scene'.

Thinking back on it now, she still felt a lingering fear.

Asking her to seize this opportunity...

...was no different from asking her to go on a life-threatening adventure.

Her heart was pounding with fear,

Her legs were trembling,

And the corners of her mouth felt a faint, phantom pain!
