Chapter 41: Insufficient Gold Coins

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Mo Yubai watched the men chasing close behind. With a flick of her wrist, five flying daggers shot out from her hand simultaneously!

In an instant, the tide of battle turned, and the tables were completely flipped!

The flying daggers cut through the air with sharp, piercing screeches, instantly slicing off the heads of the front four men.

Only Gangzi was lucky enough to dodge the lethal blow, though a deep gash was carved into his face, exposing the bone beneath!

Four men had died in a single strike. Combined with the fact that their burly leader was already a cold corpse, the remaining three men, whose minds had been clouded by greed and lust, instantly sobered up.

Having witnessed the true strength of the number one player on the Combat Power Leaderboard, they were scared out of their wits. They slammed on their brakes, spun around, and pulled out their Tracking Gold Coins, preparing to flee.

Seeing them prepare to run, Mo Yubai frowned in displeasure and ordered Xiao Ling to turn around and pursue them!

Thanks to the delay caused by the burly leader earlier, the vehicles were very close. Before long, the Pickled Pepper Fish Head pulled up right alongside Gangzi, who had been chasing the fastest.

She directed Xiao Ling to bring the vehicle right up against Gangzi’s Electric Tricycle. Through the window, she could see the sheer, furious terror in Gangzi’s eyes.

Mo Yubai let out a cold snort, tilting her head to dodge the cleaver he threw at her.

She flung the car door open and leaped out. Before he could react, she slit his throat with a single sweep of her sword.

Then, she kicked his corpse off the Electric Tricycle and leaped onto the still-speeding vehicle in a flash.

Controlling the handlebar with one hand, she threw another flying dagger with the other without hesitation. The dagger traced a silver streak through the air, piercing cleanly through another man’s heart.

However, her next flying dagger missed the last man. It spun through the air and flew back into her hand.

Mo Yubai frowned, watching the last player’s disappearing figure with annoyance. “Tch. If you don’t pull up the weeds by the roots, they’ll just grow back when the spring breeze blows. What a pain.”

Just then, Xiao Ling’s adoring electronic voice chimed in. “Wow, Host, you’re amazing! So many people, and none of them were a match for you!”

“Don’t worry, Host. Give me one minute and I can find his profile picture based on his appearance. That way, you can use a Tracking Gold Coin on him directly.”

Mo Yubai’s mood instantly brightened upon hearing this. She smiled and praised, “As expected of my system. You’re awesome, Xiao Ling!”

Xiao Ling was so happy that its entire sphere heated up. It spoke up excitedly, “I found him, Host! Those players are all from the same Player Survival Assistance Group.”

“This group is entirely made up of male players. That burly man in black who led them was the group leader. Before this, they only bullied players at the bottom of the Combat Power Leaderboard.”

“Today, they saw your gold coins suddenly jump to over thirty thousand, so they gathered some core members to rob you!”

“This is too much! They actually used Tracking Gold Coins to gang up on beautiful female players. There are so many victims!”

Hearing this made Mo Yubai feel sick to her stomach. She truly could not understand how men could still have so much animalistic lust when their very survival was on the line.

Did they have to be castrated before they would behave?

At that thought, her expression instantly turned ice-cold, and she spoke in a freezing tone.

“Xiao Ling, list every player in this Player Survival Assistance Group who has committed evil deeds or willingly funded others to do so. Even if I don’t sleep or open chests tonight, I’m going to send every single one of them to their graves!”

“Host, I’ll just give you the entire group roster. There are fifty-five players in total, and not a single one of them is innocent. Excluding the seven you just killed and the twelve who have already died and had their accounts deleted, there are thirty-six still alive.”

Mo Yubai nodded coldly at Xiao Ling’s response and instructed:

“Alright. List the profile pictures of all thirty-six players. I’ll go trade for some Tracking Gold Coins first.”

Mo Yubai opened the backend of her Cat Snack Shop. To her surprise, in just this short amount of time, she had already traded for thirteen Tracking Gold Coins!

She promptly withdrew them, then opened her three-person group chat and asked:

“Ou Ou, Little Wen, do you guys have any Tracking Gold Coins? I can trade upgrade materials for them, sixty basic materials for one Tracking Gold Coin. Or you can lend them to me first, and I’ll return double to you tomorrow or the day after.”

Zhu Ou had been driving her small tricycle, looking around listlessly for chests, when she suddenly heard a special notification sound.

She excitedly opened her game panel with one hand and replied to Mo Yubai’s inquiry, “Don’t worry about it, Sister Mo. You use them first. I’ll transfer all eight of my Tracking Gold Coins to you right now. Sixty basic materials for one gold coin is way too much, haha.”

Wen Ruyan saw the message as well and quickly followed up, “I have five. I’ll lend them to you first, just return them when you’re free. There’s no need for so many materials in exchange.”

Mo Yubai accepted the coins they sent over. “Stop nagging. Why pass up a freebie? Tell me what materials you need. If you don’t say anything, I’ll just send you a bit of everything.”

Zhu Ou immediately replied, “Sister Mo is so generous! I want to upgrade my Workbench recently, and I managed to get three rattan armor blueprints tonight. Let’s take one blueprint each, so just give me stones and hemp ropes.”

Looking at the materials required for the rattan armor blueprint in her hand, Wen Ruyan replied as well, “Give me stones or hemp ropes too, then.”

In a good mood, Mo Yubai stored the blueprints Zhu Ou had transferred over. Her own most abundant basic materials were hemp ropes, stones, and nails.

She opened the backend of the Cat Snack Shop and selected them for separate transfers: 280 stones and 200 hemp ropes to one, and 150 stones and 150 hemp ropes to the other.

Looking at her inventory slot that had instantly been filled to capacity, Zhu Ou widened her eyes and replied excitedly, “Sister Mo, I got them! I can make so many sets of rattan armor with these hemp ropes.”

After receiving the basic materials, Wen Ruyan asked with concern, “Teacher Mo, why are you suddenly collecting so many Tracking Gold Coins? Are you going to take someone out? How about I find another Tracking Gold Coin, teleport to your highway, and we go fight them together?”

Mo Yubai pondered for a moment upon hearing this, but decided to explain what had happened tonight first, making it clear that she could not possibly let those beasts off the hook.

Hearing the story, Zhu Ou was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. “Ugh… I’m so mad! Sister Mo, I’ll return all the basic materials to you. I want to go too! I want to kill them!”

Wen Ruyan was much calmer. She dissuaded her, saying, “Ou Ou, you’d just be easy prey if you went. Wait at home obediently. With the number one and number two on the Combat Power Leaderboard teaming up, we definitely won’t let them see tomorrow’s sun.”

Mo Yubai silently agreed with Wen Ruyan’s words. Zhu Ou was still too weak and had never actually killed anyone; her outburst was just out of temporary anger.

But Wen Ruyan’s strength was absolutely proven. If Mo Yubai hadn’t trained in the training room for two years, the number one spot on the Combat Power Leaderboard would definitely belong to Wen Ruyan.

With this in mind, Mo Yubai first rejected the materials the two of them tried to return, then sent a message: “Then I’ll send a teleportation coin over to you. Don’t return the basic materials to me! Since I said they’re for you, keep them!”

Wen Ruyan smiled wryly in resignation. Huge amounts of materials that other players would kill for had become a hot potato between them, with no one wanting to take them.

“Teacher Mo, there’s no need to send me a Tracking Gold Coin. You probably haven’t gathered thirty-six of them yet, right? I’ll just find another player to trade for one.”

Seeing Mo Yubai’s stern message, Zhu Ou could only reluctantly accept the rejected materials. “Alright then. Sister Mo, Sister Wen, you must be careful. I see another Golden Chest. I’ll get off and see if there’s a Tracking Gold Coin inside!”
