The forest has returned to tranquility. Only the flames on the ground that have not been extinguished prove that a tragic battle once broke out here, and more than twenty elite professional players died as a result.
As the only survivor, Zhao Xi didn't feel the slightest joy of victory. He won the battle, but lost the extremely important task for Yangmei Team and the entire overall situation!
But at this point, there is no point in regretting anything. Zhao Xi will not blame himself or others, and the matter has not reached the point of being completely irreversible.
And just as he was about to leave here, he suddenly saw something emitting a faint light in the grass on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
This location is exactly where the last berserker opponent fell to death.
Could something have been revealed?
Zhao Xi felt very strange. With his current high PK value, not to mention killing people, even beating bosses would not be able to explode anything. The previous massacres had strongly proved this point.
With a trace of curiosity, Zhao Xi leaned over and pushed aside the blades of grass and picked up the luminous object.
This is a red-red stone, about the size of a goose egg, with a smooth surface covered with dots of golden marks. It looks like something very ancient.
Philosopher's Stone, quest item.
It was actually a mission item, Zhao Xi understood immediately.
In "Glory", many mission items must be exploded. Once the holder dies, whether it is equipped on the body or stored in the backpack, it will drop.
So even though Zhao Xi's PK value has reached nearly 200 points, something still came out after killing people.
But why does the other party carry a mission item?
Zhao Xi's heart moved and he immediately rushed back to the place where he was originally ambushed.
The woods were empty, and nothing could be seen on the ground. Everything dropped by the Yangmei Team members after they were killed had been picked up by the enemies, and not even a copper plate was left behind.
Zhao Xi remembered that when Kidney Bean was killed by Li Shuai, a lot of items were exploded, but now there are no items left.
Zhao Xi guessed that this Philosopher's Stone should belong to String Bean. String Bean's mission was real, but he himself may not know that all the mission items would be exploded after death.
The Philosopher's Stone was picked up by the Berserker, only to be exploded again by Zhao Xi.
This guess should be infinitely close to the truth. It just doesn't help Zhao Xi's current dilemma. He put his things in his backpack and left here.
Zhao Xi found a hidden place nearby, sent a message to others including Lin Mei, and then logged off.
Disconnecting the Internet, Zhao Xi got up and left the room. He came to the living room downstairs.
Soon, Fang Xu, Ouyang Mu, An Xiaohai, the Ye brothers and Lin Mei all came down.
Everyone's expressions were very bad, angry, shocked, confused and sad. Lin Mei must have known what happened. Her eye circles were all red.
Seeing Zhao Xi, Fang Xu immediately asked: "Brother Daniu, how are you doing now? Did you run away?"
Zhao Xi was turning on his computer and entered the main plane forum to search for information. When he heard Fang Xu's inquiry, he put down the mouse and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I just killed them all."
Kill them all!
Zhao Xi's words were plain and gentle, and when they fell in the ears of Fang Xu and others, it was like a thunderclap. Everyone was dumbfounded: "No way?"
This is simply incredible!
The opponent set up such a big game, and the dispatchers were all experts. Not only did they have an absolute advantage, but they also had the traitor Li Shuai inside. When everyone else was killed, it was already very good for Zhao Xi to escape.
Yes, he actually killed all the enemies!
If everyone didn't know Zhao Xi very well and knew that he would never brag or make big lies, otherwise they wouldn't believe it at all.
Zhao Xi himself explained the reason: "It's not about how strong I am, it's about how they let me kill them later."
"This is intentional to harm people!" An Xiaohai said loudly.
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "I was too impulsive, and now I'm already red and black, ha!"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Lin Mei came over and sat next to Zhao Xi, and asked sadly: "Brother Danniu, why do you think Li Shuai harmed us? Is there anything we can do to apologize to him? Or am I not doing a good job?"
When she first learned of Li Shuai's betrayal, Lin Mei couldn't believe the fact, because in her opinion, although Li Shuai had some shortcomings, he was still a good person and did not seem like someone who could do such a thing.
The most important thing is that in the past, when the team was in such a difficult situation, everyone worked together to survive it. Now the studio has a bright future and a considerable income, and Li Shuai has also received a lot of benefits. How could he betray it?
But the reality is so cruel and ruthless!
This incident undoubtedly gave Lin Mei a huge blow, leaving her completely unsure of how to deal with it.
Zhao Xi sighed, held Lin Mei's hand and said, "You did nothing wrong. His betrayal was his choice, not your fault. Although the situation is serious, it is not the end of the road yet."
Fang Xu cursed loudly: "This guy is a traitor. He must have been bribed by others. He was not satisfied after sharing so much money last time, so he is just waiting to trick everyone!"
Some time ago, when Ye Qianqian was here, Yangmei Studio used the important information obtained by Zhao Xi to promote low-level secret techniques. As a result, it made a lot of money. Fang Xu, Li Shuai and other team members received generous dividends.
This makes Li Shuai's betrayal particularly hateful and contemptible. Lin Mei and Yangmei Studio are good enough to everyone, but how could any other studio be so generous?
Recalling that when the team was in difficulty, Lin Mei tried her best to ensure the wages of the team members. Now what Li Shuai has done is simply inhumane!
Even Ouyang Mu, a man of few words, gnashed his teeth and rebuked him.
Zhao Xi saw that Lin Mei still looked depressed and said: "I know you have questions in your heart, and no one else understands. Let's just contact Li Shuai directly now and ask for clarification!"
Fang Xu jumped up and said: "I know his Internet contact number. As long as he is online, he can make calls. If not, he can call on the mobile phone. We need to ask clearly. This matter is so annoying!"
An Xiaohai doubted: "Does he still have the nerve to answer our calls?"
Ye Zhengxin said coldly: "He had already planned it. Everyone ran away in advance, so he didn't have to take responsibility!"
Yangmei Studio's management of its members is very loose and there are no strict contractual restrictions. There have been cases of team members defecting before, but Lin Mei did not learn from this.
Because she trusts everyone, treats everyone as friends or even family members, and is unwilling to use contracts to restrict the freedom of team members.
Call her kind or silly, which may seem a bit ridiculous to others, but the studio is full of human touch and feels more like a big family.
But Li Shuai still betrayed.
Zhao Xi said: "Let's try it first. If he doesn't dare to face us, then he still has some sense of shame."
According to the number provided by Fang Xu, Zhao Xi opened the communication software and dialed it directly.
What was unexpected was that the call was connected immediately!
"I've been waiting for you!"
When the familiar voice of Li Shuai sounded in the living room, it instantly ignited the anger of Fang Xu and others.
"Fuck you traitor!"
"Li Shuai, you still have the nerve to talk to us, you are so shameless!"
"Li Shuai..."
Zhao Xi raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down and stop swearing.
He asked: "Li Shuai, although I don't care about the answer, I want to know what the purpose of this is?"
"For what? Haha!"
Li Shuai's laughter was full of bitterness: "Because I'm jealous of you, jealous that you can get the person I like, jealous that you can make much more money than me! I know that I will never be able to win in Team Yangmei.
Maybe more than you, so what’s the point of me continuing to stay?”
Lin Mei was stunned. The reason for Li Shuai's betrayal was completely beyond her expectation.
She had previously wondered whether Li Shuai had any compelling reasons.
Now Lin Mei knows that she was wrong, very wrong!
