Chapter 95

Chapter 95

Seeing that the European emperor had failed, Xi Yu truly felt a chill run down his spine—this Fox Si Gu, wouldn't she be taking everyone's most important abilities away, right?

Du Li, still in a daze, took the heavy money bag, feeling somewhat incredulous: "My luck is gone?"

Fox Si Gu smiled: "Now, it's become my luck."

Su Ziyan gently nudged Du Li: "It's okay, 150 taels is probably not a small amount... at least you're still in good physical condition. Let's see how much others get."

Du Li reluctantly stepped back. Perhaps she had once relied too much on luck, which made her feel uneasy.

Fox Si Gu completely ignored her, then looked at Su Ziyan: "Alright, since you're so open about it, it's your turn to pawn something."

Su Ziyan knew he couldn't escape, so he boldly reached out and picked a card from the iron box.

This time, the card had an equally unexpected word: "Hearing."

Su Ziyan immediately covered his ears: "Are you going to take away everyone's key advantage?!"

Xi Yu nervously looked at Luo Xi, clearly worried that their combat power might be taken away by the NPC.

"It's all about your luck. This card wasn't picked by me," Fox Si Gu's smile widened. "Your hearing is the best among everyone, so I won’t shortchange you. Here, take your 150 taels."

The moment Su Ziyan took the money bag, she snapped her fingers.

Although other players didn't notice any changes, looking at Su Ziyan’s terrified face…

Du Li nervously asked: "Hey, can you really not hear?"

Since she was facing away from Su Ziyan, he didn't react, nor did he move at all.

The wheat-skinned female streamer suddenly changed her expression, pulling the quiet beauty next to her and saying: "We're not pawning, this segment has a black market!"

However, before they could turn around, the pawn shop's door, which had been wide open, slammed shut in a gust of eerie wind.

Fox Si Gu smiled leisurely: "You've come, so you can't leave so easily. As I said, the first pawn has no choice—Dan Yun, since you're so resistant, you go first. After all, everyone has to learn to face their fears."

The female streamer, called by her name, widened her almond-shaped eyes and, seeing no other choice, begrudgingly reached into the iron box.

The card that belonged to Dan Yun was simple: "Memory."

This loss seemed not as severe as Su Ziyan’s, but it reminded Luo Xi of the previous incident with Ma Guanshan, which likely would severely impact the progress of the game in the end.

Fox Si Gu smiled: "Your memory is average, and after selling it to me, forgetting things at any time will be your condition. I'll give you fifty taels."

This made Dan Yun even less happy: "They all got 150 taels, but because I resisted you, you give me so much less?"

Fox Si Gu replied: "You're overthinking it. If you had photographic memory, it would be worth a lot more, but how is your brain? Don't you know yourself?"

The quiet beauty next to Dan Yun tugged at her: "Forget it, it's fine, I’ll stay with you."

Fox Si Gu casually snapped her fingers again and then threw Dan Yun a money bag, tilting her head toward the beauty: "Lu Yan, you really care about her, why not take a look at your own fate now?"

The quiet Lu Yan pursed her lips and, under everyone's watch, reached into the iron box.

Unexpectedly, the result she pulled out was not much better than Dan Yun's—"Vision."Dan Yun’s face darkened: "It’s hard to endure when someone who could see suddenly loses their vision."

"No need to argue with her," Lu Yan said calmly, then主动询问狐四姑: "My eyesight is very ordinary, it probably isn’t worth much, right?"

"Although it’s ordinary, vision is still important," Fox Si Gu tossed her a money bag: "Eighty taels."

She then waved her hand in front of Lu Yan’s eyes.

Her originally clear and bright eyes instantly lost any sparkle.

Dan Yun worriedly supported Lu Yan.

Lu Yan smiled in a daze: "It’s fine, get me a cane."

"I like strong people, it saves time and noise," Fox Si Gu nodded in satisfaction, looking around at the remaining streamers, then choosing a thin and delicate-looking male streamer: "Huo Qing Shen, why are you hiding? You go first."

The male streamer looked more fragile than a girl. When he reached for the card, he looked nervous, clearly lacking any masculine demeanor.

Fox Si Gu snatched his card away, clicking her tongue in disdain: "Stamina? But you don’t have any stamina… well, whatever, I’ll just count myself unlucky. I’ll give you twenty taels."

With 150 taels already on the table, twenty taels seemed utterly hopeless.

Huo Qing Shen shivered as she snapped her fingers, leaning against the counter: "Can I redraw? This money..."

Fox Si Gu coldly refused: "Of course not. Otherwise, everyone would have too many tricks... I wouldn’t be able to deal with that!"

Then, she pressed her hand on Xi Yu’s shoulder, smiling: "Such a handsome young man, I’d love to have your looks."

"A face is nothing, it’s fine to give it to you," Xi Yu replied calmly.

Fox Si Gu dragged the iron box in front of him: "Then let’s see."

In fact, Xi Yu was telling the truth. After all, in a zombie-surrounded survival environment, looks are the most useless thing. He wouldn’t even feel sorry if he had to pawn his face. However, unfortunately, the card he drew was the same as Huo Qing Shen’s earlier, with the word "Stamina" clearly etched on it. He couldn’t help but turn pale when he saw it.

Fox Si Gu dragged out the word, pondering for a moment before smiling: "Alright, your stamina is actually quite good here, I’ll give you 150 taels."

A money bag was thrown in front of Xi Yu. The moment he grabbed it, his legs gave way. If Luo Xi hadn’t quickly supported his waist, he would’ve likely collapsed embarrassingly right there.

"Hmph, all this lovey-dovey business…" Fox Si Gu rolled her long, narrow eyes and looked at Luo Xi: "Luo, it’s your turn."

Losing stamina was a huge blow to Xi Yu. He was afraid that Luo Xi would suffer the same fate as him and looked at him with unconcealed worry.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xi reached out and drew a card, which said "Looks."

Fox Si Gu couldn’t help but spit when she saw it: "I don’t want that!"

The other streamers: "…"

Luo Xi chuckled: "Well, then I don’t want to make a deal with you."

"Fine, fine, I’ll just open the door and do business with honesty," Fox Si Gu reluctantly pulled out a small silver coin: "The minimum transaction amount in the Peach Blossom Land is ten taels, so you can take it."

Luo Xi took the smallest transaction amount that had just been created, as if finding it amusing, and immediately stuffed it into Xi Yu’s bulging money bag.Fox Si Gu was absolutely getting revenge. She quickly ran to the counter, pulled out a strange silver mask in the shape of a fox's face, and, like a ghost, appeared in front of Luo Xi, slamming the mask onto his face!

Shh—

It sounded like hot water dropping onto a metal pot, accompanied by the smell of burning flesh.

Luo Xi tensed his shoulders, swallowed hard, and said nothing.

Fox Si Gu remained angry: "My mask is much better looking than your original one, this is a loss-making deal! — Hong Feng, why are you laughing?! It's your turn!"

The muscular male streamer, who was called out angrily by her, couldn’t help but retort: "What are you laughing at? Old witch, you’re so troublesome!"

Actually, everyone still had some fear of NC, but Fox Si Gu, suddenly offended, angrily shouted: "What did you say?!"

"I said you look like a psychologically disturbed middle-aged woman," Hong Feng's mouth was sharp, and he quickly grabbed a card from the iron box. The card had the word "Smell" engraved on it, which made him throw it back immediately: "Fine, fine, I can’t smell the fox stink anymore."

"...Twenty taels, not a penny more," Fox Si Gu gritted her teeth, throwing two small silver coins back to Hong Feng.

The other streamers saw this scene, and even though they wanted to mock, their faces remained calm.

Fox Si Gu calmed herself down and finally noticed the quiet and modest Xu Rou. She clicked her tongue and said, "Girl, it's your turn. I see your abilities are average, losing anything wouldn’t make much difference, but you're quite strange."

Xu Rou wasn’t an outstanding streamer, but her steady personality had helped her survive on the cloud platform for so long. She obediently drew her card and then smiled bitterly at Luo Xi: "What a coincidence, just like you."

Fox Si Gu clicked her tongue again: "You’re not a great beauty, but you’re definitely better looking than him. I’ll give you fifty taels!"

After speaking, she took out a second fox-shaped mask and cruelly slapped it onto Xu Rou’s face.

Xu Rou immediately let out a piercing scream and collapsed, unable to rise, covering her face with her hands.

In fact, Luo Xi didn’t care much about NC’s verbal battles. Instead, he found himself immersed in some uneasy thoughts.

Fox Si Gu didn’t rest for even half a second and walked to another young lady with a graceful, shoulder-length hairstyle: "Li Mo, with your high intelligence, you’ve said nothing since entering the room. Are you just sitting back and watching the show?"

High intelligence, like high physical strength, was a serious threat.

Xi Yu couldn’t help but glance at her curiously.

Luo Xi supported him, whispering in his ear: "I know this woman. She’s extremely clever and has a photographic memory. Be careful."

Li Mo just smiled faintly, reached for the card, and then smiled even more brightly: "It’s stamina. Looks like I won’t be able to deal with those terrifying zombies after all."

"As long as you have money, you can find a place to stay. You don’t have to deal with them yourself," Fox Si Gu let slip a crucial piece of information and then, uninterested, said: "Your stamina is better than Huo Qing Shen’s, but it’s still nothing impressive. I’ll give you forty taels. — Su Zhen, why aren’t you looking at me?"

The short and timid female streamer, who had been standing at the edge the whole time, stepped forward with difficulty.

Fox Si Gu handed over the iron box, dismissing her: "Don’t shrink back, you’re already annoying just by looking at you."

The female streamer tremblingly pulled out a card, which unexpectedly said "Left Leg"!

Fox Si Gu instantly revealed a cunning and terrifying expression, and her originally slender fingers rapidly grew sharp nails!

This terrifying appearance, like a monster, made Su Zhen so scared she turned and ran.

But Fox Si Gu’s movements were strange and swift. In one second, she tackled her to the ground, grabbing her ankle and brutally twisting her left calf off her body!The blood on the ground and Su Zhen rolling in the blood made everyone’s expressions freeze for a moment.

“Here’s fifty taels, but what good is a leg?” Fox Si Gu licked her crimson fingertips, tossing aside the useless short leg, and pulled the iron box toward the last trembling male streamer: "Shu He, it’s your turn, are you happy?"

The male streamer was pushed into a corner and, as if giving up, stretched out his hand to grab a card.

However, the card was engraved with “Luck,” and compared to Su Zhen’s fate, it was hardly painful or harsh.

Fox Si Gu mocked: “You’re not a lucky person. Your luck is useless... Here’s twenty taels, I’ll pity you.”

Shu He fearfully took the broken silver.

Fox Si Gu reached out and pushed open the pawn shop’s tightly closed door: "Alright, I’m tired. If you need anything, come find me tomorrow to pawn something—"

As she spoke, she turned her cold, eerie face back: "Of course, the premise is that you all survive until then."
