Chapter 1153: Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Hobby

East Gorteau, 10 kilometers east of Sally Town, an abandoned mine.

Clang, clang, clang...

The sound of knocking came from a mine tunnel. Su Xiao stood in front of the half-collapsed mine tunnel entrance, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu were inside the mine tunnel.

Just as Su Xiao was about to walk into the mine tunnel, the knocking sound inside the mine tunnel disappeared, and footsteps came.

A moment later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu walked out of the mine tunnel. At this moment, the image of this dog and cow was very classic.

Amu carried a mining shovel on its shoulder and a large iron box on its back, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wore a miner's hat, with two cracks on the glass cover of the headlamp.

"The follow-up to the quest is to let you come to mine?"

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning the situation was relatively 'complicated'. It started to describe the whole thing using body language + expressions + barks.

"Oh? Your personal hobby?"

Su Xiao understood Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's meaning. The quest had already been completed. As for why it came to mine, it was entirely Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's personal hobby. This guy had once mined with the Barna dwarf tribe in the Void, and it didn't expect to actually get addicted to mining.

This actually had a reason. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang mining wasn't because it wanted to dig out any treasures; this guy originally liked to dig holes and then crawl into them.

However, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's level of digging holes was very shitty. Often, just as it crawled into the hole it dug, the dirt hole would collapse, burying it alive inside. This actually wasn't digging holes, but digging a grave for itself.

Ever since mining with the Barna dwarf tribe, this was simply opening a new world for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Digging pits was already a very interesting thing for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and digging out treasures while digging pits? That was simply the greatest thing in history!

Su Xiao was still wondering earlier why Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took the initiative to ask about the progress of the Ant King's heart battle. It turned out this guy was asking if Su Xiao needed support.

Clearly, the heart battle had already ended, so Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed to this abandoned mine to start digging for ore in a hurry. However, it hadn't been digging for long before Su Xiao found it.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took out the 【Hidden Treasure Chest】 obtained from the quest from its small storage space. With a clatter, the metal chest landed on the ground.

Su Xiao tried to touch the Hidden Treasure Chest, and a prompt appeared.

【Yes/No to open the Hidden Treasure Chest. If opening this chest, the Hunter needs to select an opening mode.】

This prompt made Su Xiao quite surprised. He couldn't quite understand what 'opening mode' meant. After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to be in a hurry to open this special chest.

The top priority now was to sell the Ant King's heart. If it wasn't sold before the main quest ended, this thing would at most be a heart with high strength, and its value would be limited.

The Derived World Contact Platform could be used as a temporary auction platform. Su Xiao still had 10 speaking opportunities, which was enough.

Auctioning in the contact platform had a benefit: due to the limit on speaking opportunities, contractors who didn't obtain the Ant King's heart wouldn't bid randomly. They would strive to directly take out a price that satisfied Su Xiao. Once the speaking opportunities were exhausted without taking out a price that satisfied Su Xiao, that would be a big joke.

180 grams of heart, meaning it could be traded with 18 contractors. Regardless of the situation, Su Xiao had to show great credibility in this matter. Once a price was set with a certain contractor, it must not be easily modified, otherwise, this transaction would fall into chaos and eventually develop into a very headache-inducing situation.

You know, those contractors who didn't obtain the Ant King's heart were all in a near-crazy mental state. If they didn't obtain the Ant King's heart, they would all die.

But before this, Su Xiao had to determine one thing: whether the Starfire Adventure Team had already disbanded, which concerned the stability of the transaction.

Although the Starfire Adventure Team was now in name only, if the team mechanism still existed, then the Starfire people only needed to obtain 30 grams of heart to let twenty-plus people survive.

The reason the bald leader snatched the heart wasn't purely to complete the quest, but to rip off those lone contractors. The always-rational bald leader died of greed. This was the norm. After all, in a place like the Reincarnation Paradise, if you don't move forward, you can only stay in place, and once you stay in place, you are not far from death.

Su Xiao started to conceive the auction process. A few minutes later, he released the first message in the contact platform.

Bai Ye (Lone): Selling 30 grams of Ant King's heart, time TBD, location TBD, price TBD.

The reason Su Xiao sold 30 grams in the first round was to test whether the Starfire Adventure Team's team mechanism still existed. If the Starfire team mechanism still existed, his first round of transaction would be the largest transaction.

Due to the numerical advantage, the team assets of adventure teams were quite amazing, with equipment, recovery-type items, rare resources, etc., all available.

No one responded in the contact platform. Due to the main quest, speaking opportunities had become exceptionally precious.

If the Starfire team mechanism still existed, they wouldn't be forced into a dead end, because they could still buy the Ant King's heart from other channels. The heart in the hands of Old Smoke, Chen, and others was also enough for them to complete the quest.

【Prompt: Hunter received a temporary email, this email can be blocked.】

Su Xiao opened the email.

【Sandstorm: Set a location to meet.】

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao replied to Sandstorm with three words: 'Sally Town'.

One hour later, twenty-plus contractors arrived near Sally Town. Leading them was Sandstorm, who wore a wine-red robe, a hood, and a high-tech mask on his face, so his voice was electronic.

"Been waiting for you for a long time."

On the tall porch at the entrance of the Sally Town street, Su Xiao was sitting on top of the porch, holding a trimmed branch with several large pieces of roasted meat on it. This was rabbit meat.

This was a type of large wild rabbit unique to East Gorteau, with a body size as large as a wild dog. After skewering the rabbit meat with branches of the Gogo-ba tree that grew in the shade, it was a rare delicacy after simple roasting.

"On the way here, we encountered two other sellers. Those two were also able to take out 30 grams of heart, but unfortunately, their asking price forced us into a dead end, a dead end from which we could never turn over."

Sandstorm spoke. From his voice, one couldn't tell if he was male or female. His style of doing things resembled a male, but his body shape was slightly thin.

"Find a quiet place, let's start talking about the price."

Sandstorm was very clear about his own situation; he was now a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"Here is fine. Since the Chimera Ant incident broke out, the residents of Sally Town rarely leave the small town, so this is the quietest place in the small town."

Su Xiao was chewing the roasted meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"You won't... suddenly kill us, right?"

Sandstorm directly asked the question he was most worried about, because Su Xiao had the ability to kill their twenty-plus people. Before that chaotic battle, Sandstorm didn't believe this point, but now he believed it.

"How could that be? In most cases, I only kill opposing enemies. What? Do you want to forcibly snatch the Ant King's heart?"

"Don't make such jokes. We have already tried that before. As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"That makes some sense. Then... what are you prepared to use to exchange for your lives?"

Su Xiao, sitting on the porch more than ten meters high, threw down the wooden skewer in his hand and lit a cigarette. ===== CHAPTER 1154 =====
