Looking at Lu Yuan rolling on the ground, Rhine's eyes flickered uncertainly.

In fact, he had already prepared to fight Shi. His strength was being severely suppressed by the suppression ring, and he didn't know Shi's background, so he was prepared to get injured again. He just didn't expect Lu Yuan to refuse without hesitation.

"Master, if you feel that you don't have much of a chance against Shangshi, then I'll go and challenge other female insects, and at least take back some territory," Rhine suggested.

The landfill has rules: if you want a piece of land that's already taken, you can challenge the landowner. If you win, the land is yours.

"How can that be? You've only been injured for a few days, and your leg isn't fully healed. The female insects in the junkyard are all very strong. You're no match for them right now."

"It's okay, let's find someone a little weaker and give it a shot, we'll win eventually."

"No, you'll definitely end up getting injured, it's not worth it."

"Anyway, female insects have strong recovery abilities, and the injury will heal in a few days."

Lu Yuan sat up and looked intently into Rhine's eyes.

"Rhine, you can't think like that. Even if you recover in a few days, you'll still be in pain. This territory isn't worth trading your own pain for. There's always a way to make money."

After saying that, Lu Yuan lay back down, and Rhine was so shocked by Lu Yuan's gaze that she was speechless for a moment.

After some time, having reassured himself, Lu Yuan sat up again, looking refreshed.

"Rhine, let's go to Kenta City now and see if we can find any work. I refuse to believe we can't earn enough to eat."

"OK."

Rhine agreed, as docile as countless other female rulers on other planets, and did not raise any objections to her male lord's decision.

Unfortunately, while the idea was good, reality was cruel. The two insects searched for work in Kenta City for several days but couldn't find any. With their savings running out and their nutrient solution about to run out, Rhine secretly observed Shi for a few days before making a decision in her heart.

That day, Rhine made up an excuse and didn't go to Kenta City with Lu Yuan. After Lu Yuan left, Rhine walked out of the house and headed towards the junkyard.

Rhine arrived at the territory that once belonged to Lu Yuan, where Shi was rummaging through items.

"Stone, I challenge you," Rhine said to Stone in a deep voice.

"Huh??? You want to challenge me? Are you crazy? Lu Yuan sent you here to die, didn't he?"

Shi looked at Rhine with disdain. Rhine's figure was considered strong by Lu Yuan, but it was no match for Shi.

Shi was tall and imposing, with bulging muscles. Just by looking at him, you'd think he could kill Rhine with a single punch.

"According to the rules of the junkyard, you can't refuse someone's challenge, or are you just going to admit defeat?" Rhine asked provocatively.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Fine, since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish."

Shi Qi strode down from the garbage mountain and headed outside, with Rhine following leisurely behind him.

The challenge takes place in a designated area, but it's really just an open space outside the landfill, marked out with white lines.

Stone and Rhine stood in their respective positions on the field. Soon after, Joe arrived as well. As the manager of the junkyard, he was responsible for witnessing the results of each challenge. At the same time, some female insects who liked to watch the excitement also came over.

Joe walked into the venue and, as usual, reiterated the rules.

"Today, Rhine has challenged Shi. The outcome of the challenge is not contingent on life or death. If Rhine wins, all the territory under Shi's name will belong to Rhine. If Rhine loses, he will be prohibited from challenging Shi again for one month. Do you two have anything else to say?"

"No," Rhine and Stone said at the same time.

"Alright, then I declare the challenge officially open."

As soon as Qiao walked out, Shi roared and charged towards Rhine, throwing a punch at Rhine's head.

Rhine nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding the punch. Shi then raised his foot to kick Rhine's limping left leg, but Rhine dodged it again.

After that, the two insects maintained a state of one attacking desperately and the other constantly dodging. Stone chased Rhine all over the field, while the female insects watching the excitement from the sidelines started yawning out of boredom.

"What's going on? Daring to challenge Shi, I thought he was some kind of powerful character, but all he does is hide everywhere."

Shi was quite famous in the junkyard. Not many female insects dared to challenge him because he was very strong. He once killed a female insect who challenged him with three punches.

When we heard that someone was challenging the stone, everyone thought we were going to see a bloody battle, but this is what happened!

"Who's that female insect? I haven't seen her much before. Is she new?"

"They say she's the queen from afar."

"What kind of powerful female insect could marry Lu Yuan? Could it be that she was forced into it by Lu Yuan? I knew male insects weren't any good."

The female insects chatting on the sidelines didn't notice that as time went by, Shi's steps became heavier and his breathing became more labored. Just as he stumbled, Rhine, who was running ahead, suddenly turned around as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

Rhine crouched down, then suddenly jumped up, punching Shi in the chin, followed by another heavy punch to Shi's temple, causing Shi to fall heavily to the ground.

The female insects outside the arena, who had thought the battle was finally getting interesting, were all focused on watching the fight, waiting for Shi Qi to retaliate.

As a result, a second, two seconds, a minute passed, but Shi still didn't get up.

Even Qiao was surprised. After waiting for a while, seeing that Shi still didn't react, Qiao walked over to Shi's side.

After observing Shi's condition for a while, Qiao gave Rhein a deep look, then stood up with a serious expression and made an announcement.

"Shi fainted. Rhine has won this challenge."

The female insects outside the field exclaimed in surprise, but Rhine's face remained expressionless.

After Joe announced the results, Rhine casually went to pick up trash on the newly acquired territory.

When Lu Yuan returned home dejectedly after failing to find a job again, he received a big surprise: his family had regained a piece of land in the landfill, even larger than the original one.

"Rhine, are you alright?"

Lu Yuan was most concerned about Rhine's condition. He felt that the stone was really as big as the Hulk and was very worried that Rhine would get hurt.

The pure concern in Lu Yuan's eyes made Rhine feel a little strange. Rhine turned her head away and did not continue to look at Lu Yuan.

"No, that stone looks big, but he only knows how to fight. I've been a female soldier for so many years, and I'm more than capable of dealing with him."

Knowing that Rhine was alright, Lu Yuan was relieved. He then danced around the house in celebration, shouting "Rhine is awesome!" from time to time.

Seeing how far the road was, Rhein couldn't help but smile slightly.
