Chapter 6, The Most Powerful Treasure in the World

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hmph! Consider yourself lucky; I have something to attend to today, so I won't hold it against you! Just don't let me run into you again!" After saying this, the girl felt that her words lacked any real force, so she stomped her foot in frustration and added, "If I run into you again, I'll beat you half to death..." Before she could finish her sentence, she wrinkled her nose, stuck out her tongue, and dashed away.

This problem is quite difficult to resolve. After a while, the young girl finally lifted her head and said: "You owe me the money for the nutrient pod..." She herself knew that this matter seemed rather unlikely, so as she spoke, her voice gradually lowered.

170,000! The young girl looked up in surprise, not expecting that this hacker would actually continue the conversation. In fact, she could have completely ignored her.

It is truly a strange matter with strange people. Were they not supposed to ask her for compensation? Why did they run away after merely inquiring about the reason? Their skills in scamming are quite lacking! Qin Zheng shook her head and walked towards the outskirts of the village. She had no money left and needed to find a safe and secluded place to spend the night

Silence, a moment of silence among the crowd

How much does it cost? Qin Zheng furrowed her brows. What is that nutrition pod? Have I damaged something like that in the past few days?

The girl was left speechless; was this hacker deliberately playing dumb? Why did it feel like they were speaking different languages?

"I don't understand why I should pay you; I don't have that much money right now." A killer actually standing here trying to reason with someone! Qin Zheng began to look down on her own indecisiveness. Perhaps it was the girl's appearance that made her tolerate it time and again, especially since she had no habit of killing women and children.

Silver? As a top assassin, Qin Zheng has seen her fair share of gold and silver, yet she was still taken aback; this is certainly not a small sum

Are you going to compensate or not? This question is pointless; have you ever seen a thief return a wallet after stealing it? The young girl herself found it uninteresting and thought it might be better to just consider herself unlucky and leave.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng was merely staring blankly at the girl's face, unaware of what she was thinking. Otherwise, he would certainly be eager to turn the dreams in her mind into reality

"Just adjust it on the control panel yourself." The player yawned.

Thus, Qin Zheng regarded the control panel as a magical treasure in this world. Even though she did not fully understand how to use it, some of its functions were powerful enough to leave her astonished and overjoyed. She had always thought that the magical treasures and powers of the immortals in mythological stories were exaggerated, but upon seeing this control panel today, she realized that no treasure in the world could compare to it

Qin Zheng lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, her right hand swiftly reaching towards the girl's face

"What kind of currency is this? It's real money! Hmm, it amounts to 170,000 taels of gold and 17,000,000 taels of silver," the young girl calculated with her fingers.

"Hey, wait a moment, I still have questions to ask..." Qin Zheng remembered she needed to find someone to ask about how to convert fonts only after seeing her message. However, that girl ignored her completely and vanished into the night.

The texture feels very natural, neither a human skin mask nor a disguise. Qin Zhengqi asked, "Do you really look like me?" She initially thought someone had disguised themselves as her to swindle money, but now it seems that such a possibility is very slim

This time, the player's gaze was not just strange, but filled with anger. Without paying any attention to Qin Zheng, he turned around and left

Currently, most holographic online games retain the control panel from traditional online games to make certain system settings and player information more intuitive. However, the method of use has changed, becoming simpler and more user-friendly, allowing even novices to easily get started. Yet now, when Qin Zheng claims she does not understand what a control panel is, the player's instinctive reaction is—damn, you are pretending to be a novice to mess with me, resulting in them walking away without looking back.

What are you doing! The young girl quickly retreated, but she was certainly not as fast as Qin Zheng, so her face was touched. At that moment, the look in her eyes towards Qin Zheng was somewhat fearful

Having picked a few wild fruits to satisfy her hunger, although their taste was somewhat sour and astringent, they at least quenched her thirst a little. When Qin Zheng walked outside the village to ask someone how to change the font, the way they looked at her was quite strange.

One was unwilling to leave just like that, while the other was pondering a question that could never be resolved. The two were at a standstill when a homing pigeon fluttered over and dropped a note into the girl's hand. The girl picked it up, took out paper and pen from her waist, swiftly wrote a few words and a * diagram * before handing it back to the pigeon to take away

What is a control panel? It is not that I have become foolish, but rather that this world is too strange

The girl felt an impulse to rush forward and beat the person in front of her to a pulp, and after finishing, to spit on them a couple of times and stomp on them a few times. However, her account was newly created, with almost no overall strength value, and she feared that in the end, it would be her who would get beaten. Thus, she pouted and, feeling both unwilling and frustrated, fantasized in her heart—if one day she became a master, she would definitely beat that damned thief half to death, then go to the grocery store to buy a rope to tie him up, dragging him to the big city every day for a parade

The roasted rabbit meat exuded a rich aroma. Qin Zheng tasted it and felt that the flavor was worlds apart from the tiger meat she had roasted a few days ago. With her appetite satisfied, she began to feel that the silver she had earned after toiling for most of the day yesterday was not spent in vain

In a less populated area on the grassland outside the village, Qin Zheng sat there diligently studying the various functions on the control panel, only stretching and standing up when the sun was high in the sky. With no money for food, she spent all her coins in the village grocery store to buy a small amount of seasoning, then went to the small hillside where she had caught a wild rabbit yesterday and caught another rabbit. She cleaned it by the stream, and finally gathered some firewood to begin cooking the rabbit meat according to the method outlined in the "Roche Recipe".

The onlookers gradually dispersed. In this situation, apart from a stalemate or one party turning to leave, it was impossible for the matter to develop into any interesting outcome they wished to see, so they each went about their own business.

The next day, when Qin Zheng woke up at the top of the tree, the sky was already bright. She ungracefully stuck her bottom out as she climbed down from the tree. Here, she had lost more than half of her previous martial arts skills. The most distressing part was that without the ability to use her internal energy, her lightness skill had also weakened, allowing her only to barely leap over people's heads. If she wanted to climb trees or scale walls, she would have to rely solely on climbing.

For a top assassin, martial skills are not the most important aspect; one must also possess a clever and agile mind along with a wealth of knowledge. This enables them to handle various unexpected situations that may arise during the execution of tasks with ease. Therefore, Qin Zheng has a persistent spirit when it comes to matters she does not understand. After pondering for a while, when she sought help for the second time, she rephrased her question. Instead of asking what the control panel was, she inquired how to use the control panel. Although others still looked at her with the same strange expressions, they eventually took the time to teach her until she understood.
