Star Trace Gate

Villa, second floor lobby.

After Ren Ye emphasized that he was very expensive, Xiao Shuai immediately responded, "What kind of price you have will determine what kind of customer base you have. As long as you sell it, it doesn't matter if it's expensive or not. The most important thing is the price-performance ratio."

"…You are so polite when you speak. Is that how you use adjectives?"

"After the meeting, wait for me at the door and we'll talk in detail." Xiao Shuai gave Ren Ye an instruction and said no more.

Last night, all six people survived, which made everyone's heart, which had been in their throats, finally fall back into their stomachs.

Fatty Tan let out a long sigh: "After three days of work, we have finally broken the 8:30 mechanism. We can move forward now. Okay, everyone sit down and have a brief chat, then we will go our separate ways."

After he shouted, the other five people sat down around the long table.

According to the plan for dividing the spoils agreed upon yesterday, Ren Ye was the first to take 40 gold coins, two fragments of Song An's autobiography, and one fragment of Pan Lianrong's autobiography. The remaining half of the inheritance was divided among the others.

After Ren Ye got the gold coins, he put them in his pocket first, and then secretly sensed the three gold coins with his consciousness.

[Congratulations, you have obtained three inheritance gold coins. ]

[Your current number of gold coins: 90 (cannot be gifted).]

As soon as he released his perception, the reminder from the Heavenly Dao reached his ears. The three inherited gold coins were directly bound to him and counted as "personal assets", and could no longer be circulated. Unless he died, the gold coins would explode and be obtained by other players as inheritance.

Ren also thought about it carefully and felt that the remaining 37 gold coins should be put aside for the time being and there was no need to rush to put them into the consciousness space.

This move is called "backhand" in Texas Hold'em. If you use it at a critical moment, you can steal the show and get on the leaderboard.

Across from them, Fatty Tan glanced at everyone and asked bluntly, "How was your day? Do you want to explore together?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent and everyone looked at each other in surprise.

The old cadre held his chin up and after a moment of thought, he took the lead and said, "I plan to run a solo business."

"Me too." Xiao Shuai raised his hand against his will.

"Then let's go our separate ways." Yin Hu also agreed: "After all, this star gate still has individual competition rules, there is no need to force binding. Everyone can voluntarily form a team, or go it alone and accumulate secretly. However, it's best not to have women's things happen again. If you want to play, play it openly and don't stab them in the back."

"The last sentence is crucial." Brother Hong nodded heavily and said, "It's not easy for us to survive to the fourth day. We have experienced life and death together. Competition is fine, but it must be humane. It's best not to do something evil and disgusting."

"I agree." Fatty Tan nodded and asked softly, "Does anyone have any different opinions?"

"Nothing."

"I agree."

"...!"

Ren Ye and others expressed their opinions one after another, which could be regarded as a "gentleman's agreement" with others.

"Okay, then it's settled." Fatty Tan stood up and said, "We're all voluntary partners, and we're competing fairly. If anyone has dirty tricks behind the scenes, don't blame us for ganging up on them. Okay, let's adjourn..."

Having said this, there was naturally no need to say more. Everyone chatted with each other for a few words in the living room and then left.

……

Around seven o'clock in the morning, at a very cheap breakfast stall on the edge of Fulai County.

Ren Ye glanced around with a sly look, feeling very confused.

His current wanted scent level is strong, which means that as long as he is close to the Bald Law Enforcement Team, he is at risk of being discovered by the Law Enforcement Spirit Beast. Therefore, the difficulty of his exploration today has increased a lot, and he must go around the patrol point.

Sure enough, after the man had his fill, he was greeted with exhaustion and emptiness. When he woke up the next morning, everyone knew their own difficulties...

Across the table, Xiao Shuai was eating fried dough sticks and drinking soy milk and said, "Brother, from today on, I am your little brother."

Ren Ye was slightly stunned: "I didn't agree."

"You don't need to agree to this, because I have already unilaterally recognized you." Xiao Shuai insisted: "Once you are my big brother, I will always be your big brother. I will recognize you even if I leave this door."

"...!"

Ren was a little speechless, and felt that the other party's routines and words seemed very familiar, very similar to the way he fooled Fan Ming and Li Yan.

"First of all, I must admit a mistake to you." Xiao Shuai held the bowl of soy milk and said seriously, "Two days ago, my words were a bit extreme. I even suspected and speculated that you might have concealed the information obtained in Changsheng Temple and wanted to use the Star Gate rules to eliminate the opponent. I admit that this was my mean mind... It was my heart, shameless, shameless and vulgar...!"

"Alright, alright, stop scolding." Ren Ye waved his hand and said, "I know all this."

"But, I said that for a reason. The psychological pressure from this star gate is too strong. If you're not careful, you might lose your life. And we haven't known each other for long, so it's inevitable that we will be suspicious and distrustful of each other when we're in desperate situations." Xiao Shuai paused, "But think about it from another angle. I can be the first to say what I think, which means... I'm a relatively honest person who doesn't like to pretend. In that environment, people like me are not scary. What's scary is those guys who are obviously suspicious but don't show it. They are the ones with deep minds."

Ren was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that what the other party said made sense. He even recalled everyone's reaction that day.

"Alright, I've apologized and explained myself." Xiao Shuai put down the bowl, looked up at Ren Ye, and said enthusiastically, "Let's form an alliance. I'll follow you from now on, big brother!"

"Why are you messing with me?"

"I'll just say what I think, and you can criticize me if I'm wrong." Xiao Shuai was very serious and said, "As of today, less than half of our eight-day journey has passed. In other words, no matter who is ahead now, it's not really a lead, and there's a possibility that we can catch up later. So, if I say that I don't want to compete at all, that would definitely be a lie and not honest."

"Well, then what?"

"I can try to run first. If there is a possibility of catching up with the first place, then we can compete fairly. No matter what the result is, no one will be impatient." Xiao Shuai suggested: "But if I find that I can't catch up with the first place, then I will follow you. You guarantee that I can enter the top three, and then I will give you the fragments of my autobiography for free and try my best to help you get two complete character autobiography books. How about it?"

After listening to his proposal, it would be a lie for Ren Ye to say that he was not tempted.

You know, the clue Xiao Shuai got was from Pan Lianrong, and he had said before that he had two clues in his hands at the beginning, which means that he must have a lot of fragments of the autobiography in his hands. If he can really give all of them to Ren Ye in the end, then King Huai will take off completely, which is equivalent to having two people's bottom line in his hands.

However, Xiao Shuai asked Ren Ye to ensure that he could enter the top three, which was not easy, and there was also the possibility that the other party was deceiving.

"Also, since we are an alliance, we must play to our advantage." Xiao Shuai continued, "Later, if I get the fragments of Song Mingzhe's autobiography, I can give it to you for free; and if you get the fragments of Pan Lianrong's autobiography, you have to give it to me."

Ren Ye looked at him: "You should know my advantages, right?"

"Of course I know. You must have the most fragments of the autobiography in your hands now." Xiao Shuai nodded.

"Then isn't this the same as aiding your competitors?"

"Heh." Xiao Shuai sneered and said word by word: "I told you, I want to recognize you as my big brother. We can still be friends after we leave this door! Some people come here to get the highest reward, but if they don't get it, it's not bad to make connections and friends. Don't worry, my status outside will definitely not lower the quality of your circle of friends. Haha, and it should be considered... of high gold content."

Ren Ye stared at him: "I always feel like you are fooling me."

"If I had the intelligence to fool you, I would have cracked the secret room directly and let you take half of the inheritance?" Xiao Shuai looked at him and said, "Don't doubt me, I've figured it out. There is definitely no shortage of smart people in our team, so anyone who pretends to be smart is the biggest fool, like Xiao Yuan... When everyone's thinking is complicated, I suddenly become simple, stupid, and direct, and maybe it will work wonders."

Ren also pondered it carefully in his heart: "You are the one who came to negotiate with me, so you need to be sincere, right? Be direct, I will protect you, how much protection fee can you give...?"

"I call you brother, and you ask me for money?!" Xiao Shuai didn't expect the other party to take it seriously.

"Of course I did. You said you had to pay me, so I negotiated." Ren nodded as a matter of course: "You suddenly pulled me over, Kuku brainwashed me, and then when we got to the crucial moment, you said we had feelings for each other. Is that reasonable?"

"I can give you 300,000 star sources as a token of my sincerity in forming an alliance." Xiao Shuai said after thinking for a while.

"Farewell."

Ren also stood up and left: "Three hundred thousand to guarantee a top three? Damn it, even capitalists are not as evil as you. I forgot to tell you that my status outside is also very high. Three hundred thousand is not enough to buy rouge and powder for my wife... I am the most capable general under Liu Jishan, and only three hundred thousand is enough. What are you making a fuss about?!"

"Boss, he's paying the bill!"

Ren Ye pointed at Xiao Shuai and said something, then turned around and left.

"Brother, let's talk more!" Xiao Shuai stretched his neck and shouted, "I haven't finished talking yet...!"

"Your price makes me feel insulted."

"I'm talking about 300,000 a day!" Xiao Shuai spread his hands and asked in confusion: "Is this sincerity money very low? Are people in the migration area so rich now...?"

"Take the young master?!"

Ren also stopped at the door.

"I said three hundred thousand a day...!"

"Whoosh!"

Ren Ye took a step back, bent down and sat in front of Xiao Shuai, waved his hand and said in a very amiable manner: "Come on, brother, let's sit down and drink a bowl of chicken blood... Let's drink it now, a big bowl for each of us."
