Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"not enough?"

Jiang Mian remained expressionless, her blue-gray vertical pupils slightly dilated, as she quietly gazed at him.

Qin Shou felt a jolt of alarm, and the alarm bells immediately went off.

That look... seems exactly like the harbinger of some calamity launching an attack.

Has it already entered the third stage of catastrophic transformation?

This provocation calmed him down a bit.

The girl in front of me is of unknown strength, but she looks very young. Judging from her appearance, her level shouldn't be too high, at least not exceeding the sixth rank.

In any case, the situation is definitely not going to be very stable.

Qin Shou had seen many people like this; they were usually unable to live normal lives and were forced to come here.

Then there's no need to worry too much. At least it's still within an acceptable range. Maybe that cold exterior is just an act, and he hasn't actually killed many people at all!

And the person behind him is a silver medalist in the Wilderness Hunters, with sixth-tier strength!

Even if we don't call them the top, they're definitely among the best.

Thinking of this, Qin Shou straightened up again.

"Yes, that's not enough! Newcomers here need ten for the toll and forty for the resettlement fee!"

After saying that, he spread his hands with an air of self-righteousness, as if bestowing charity, and said with "great compassion":

"If you can't afford the remaining forty, we can give you a chance."

"Oh?"

Jiang Mian was amused by this guy's behavior.

We've only just arrived in this place, and people are already rushing to bring us food?

Since she semi-revealed her identity as "Doomsday," no one has dared to challenge her for a long time, which has made her so angry she's practically growing mushrooms.

"What opportunity?"

Jiang Mian still wore that indifferent mask, her brows slightly furrowed.

Qin Shou thought she was scared, so he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth that were particularly striking in the dim light.

"Simple. Whether they are infected or awakened, we Wilderness Hunters treat them all the same."

He looked around and raised his voice as if speaking to someone in the room.

"Once you sign the contract, you can mine in the secret realms under our control. Of course, all your harvest must be handed over, and we decide when it's all paid off."

Before Jiang Mian could respond, the two guards beside him burst into laughter, making no attempt to hide their malice.

"Qin Shou, you really don't know how to cherish a woman. We finally got such a beautiful girl, and you're going to make her go down into the mine?"

"Exactly, she's such a delicate young girl, how could you bear to let her do such hard work? Oh, right, I remember now, you like..."

"Shut up!"

Qin Shou seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and suddenly sprang up, pressing him against the wall with a ferocious expression.

However, the man continued to smile, showing no fear whatsoever.

"You better dare to make a move, who's afraid of who!"

Qin Shou's eyelids twitched, but he eventually let him go.

The latter patted his clothes as if nothing had happened.

"how?"

Qin Shou turned around, seemingly asking a question, but making no attempt to hide the threat in his words.

I don't think it's very good.

Jiang Mian didn't waste any more words. With a flick of his hand, four beads appeared out of thin air...

"Intermediate-grade Soul Crystal?!"

Qin Shou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes widening in astonishment.

The refining of Soul Crystals requires filtering and purification by Soul Awakeners, or tempering by spiritual flames such as Demon Subduing, resulting in a very limited output.

Therefore, although this item can be traded,

However, it is an auxiliary upgrade material that can be used throughout the entire process, and it has always been in short supply, so naturally no one uses it as normal currency.

Coincidentally, Jiang Mian's Guixu Silver Fire perfectly met the refining requirements.

She's been playing jungle games these past few days, taking whatever she can't finish with her, and has accumulated quite a bit.

Inside the city, Ye Chenyang stood in the shadow of a building, taking in the entire scene, his lips twitching slightly.

He could easily understand that this guy's provocation had piqued her interest in playing.

Oh well, as long as she's happy.

Even if it attracts attention, it can be easily changed and it won't cause any trouble.

"Do you want it?"

Jiang Mian curled her lips into a smile, the chill around her melting away like warm water, revealing a half-smile.

Qin Shou's eyes widened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Uh-huh!"

If we can get the Soul Crystal, it's not impossible to get revenge later.

This is a mid-grade soul crystal!

One core is worth the same as ten Tier 5 cores, and the actual market exchange rate is even higher, recently rising to 1 to 15, making it quite valuable.

More importantly, this girl actually has spatial equipment on her?!

What else is in that space, only she knows!

Thinking of this, Qin Shou's gaze became even more intense.

Jiang Mian looked at his greedy expression, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

"No!"

She slowly closed her palms and put them back into her space.

Qin Shou's smile froze on his face.

"you--"

"What about me?"

A mocking smile seemed to appear in Jiang Mian's eyes.

"I just took it out to show you, I didn't tell you it was for you."

This remark drew laughter from the people in line, and the atmosphere instantly became cheerful.

The Wilderness Hunters are a powerful force that has existed since the city's founding, and almost no one dares to provoke them.

The few who were stubborn enough to resist were all beaten, had their legs broken, and were thrown into the fourth district to be fed to the calamities.

As for her appearance, it only fueled certain twisted desires in the hearts of these people.

They can't wait to see the results.

"You're asking for it!"

Qin Shou's face darkened.

His two colleagues stopped laughing and stared intently at Jiang Mian, ready to make a move at any moment.

Jiang Mian's taunting of Qin Shou was no longer just about him; it was a provocation against the entire organization.

We must take it!

"Um?"

Jiang Mian's smile faded slightly, and a chilling aura emanated from her.

Even after acquiring all the elements, she still prefers to use the wind and fire elements, as well as the lightning element after fusion.

Therefore, Jiang Mian still needs to be a little more careful when using ice, lest he overdo it.

However, even though she restrained herself and only used the fifth level, the scene she created was still somewhat exaggerated.

As the cold air spread, the rain was instantly soaked by her "domain," turning into icy, bone-chilling freezing rain.

"Holy crap, it's ice cold!"

The people behind her unconsciously distanced themselves from her, and whispers could be heard.

"Is this the kind of commotion a fifth-tier being could cause?"

"Nonsense, didn't she reveal her aura? She's at the fifth rank! Probably because her sequence is very high, right? This is going to be interesting..."

As is well known, there are very few awakened beings or calamities of different elements.

In the advanced sequence, apart from [Overturning the World] which has the lightning attribute, the only other element is ice, which is either [Ice Soul] or [Winter] in sequence 28.

The first twenty sequences are unique and cannot appear in this location.

So, Sequence 28 is already among the top tier here.

"[Winter]?!"

Qin Shou's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

He seems...to be no match?!

Jiang Mian stood still, her long silver hair swaying slightly in the swirling cold air, her blue-gray vertical pupils appearing particularly cold in the reflection of the icy rain.

She shifted her gaze to the two people behind Qin Shou.

"Hey girl, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously!"

One of them, who had been quite defiant towards Qin Shou just moments before, suddenly put on a fawning smile.

"That's right, that's right."

The other one also smiled apologetically.

"We'll figure out the landing fee ourselves. Please come in, please come in!"

"you!"

Qin Shou's face turned pale and then red.

They were the ones who encouraged me just now, and now they're the ones who are the first to kneel down!

"What's all the noise about?"

A deep voice came from inside the city.

The next second, a middle-aged man wearing leather armor appeared next to Qin Shou and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Old Dong!"

Qin Shou's face lit up with joy, and he leaned closer to him, pointing at Jiang Mian and saying:

"Someone is causing trouble and refusing to pay the landing fee!"

His coquettish tone was completely different from his fierce and menacing appearance just now.

"puff!"

The people at the back of the line were stunned.

What's going on here?!

So you really do have "someone backing you up"?
