Chapter 121: Human Trafficker

The supplies can be left here temporarily.

Cheng Shuili looked toward the pitch‑black hallway; now is the time to take revenge on Hu Ge and Tiger Sister, those two evil NPCs.

The clueless Hu Ge and Tiger Sister were still chatting idly.

The two Shou Ren Xiao Zhen were also delivering a live human for the first time, so they were understandably nervous.

"Giving a long sword like that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Don't worry, Tiger Junior is still a tiger no matter what, and now he's much stronger than before; we just keep our hearts in our stomachs and wait patiently."

"I understand everything you said, but... Hu Ge, don't you think this is taking too long?" Tiger Sister wasn't soothed at all; her expression grew even more nervous.

They spent 50,000 Game Coin to forge five room cards; the system said it distributed them, but no one knows where they actually went.

This human is the first to show up holding a room card.

It's also Tiger Junior's first time consuming fresh flesh; it must not fail.

Older brothers and sisters may be smashing pots to sell iron, but they can't just watch a younger brother die.

"Nothing will go wrong; before it was raw meat, now it's a live person, a little longer is normal."

Hu Ge silently patted Tiger Sister's back, a comforting gesture he often used, though previously it was for that troublesome younger brother.

Now only this sister remains.

Tiger Sister nodded; Hu Ge's words still made sense.

The two Shou Ren Xiao Zhen could only wait patiently.

When Cheng Shuili pushed open the iron door, the sunlight was so sharp it made her squint.

Hu Ge and Tiger Sister were standing nearby; seeing her emerge alive, a brief look of astonishment flashed across their faces simultaneously.

"The human came out?"

Tiger Junior is that strong; she and Hu Ge would have to team up to subdue him, and a weak human…

How could anyone possibly emerge alive from Tiger Junior?

There's only one possibility! Tiger Sister seemed to clutch a sliver of hope: Tiger Junior isn't interested in humans!

If that's the case, wouldn't their Game Coin just go down the drain?

Hu Ge's mind went even simpler; following his body's instinct, he blurted out, "You actually came out?"

The words hung in the air, and Hu Ge immediately realized his slip, hastily covering his mouth.

Cheng Shuili's fingertips still bore the black blood of the Tiger Demon.

She slowly wiped her hand, her gaze sweeping between the two startled Shou Ren Xiao Zhen faces: "Looks like you're quite disappointed, huh?"

"No, it's not…" Tiger Sister forced a laugh and stepped back, "We just didn't expect…"

"You didn't expect me to come out alive?" Cheng Shuili suddenly sprang up, the cold flash of her long sword sliding from its sheath flashing across Hu Ge's throat, "Or that I could turn the tables on that Tiger Demon?"

"Tiger Demon?"

Those two words left both Shou Ren Xiao Zhen stunned.

Cheng Shuili felt no sympathy for the two Shou Ren Xiao Zhen, and unreservedly repeated what had happened in the basement.

The two Shou Ren Xiao Zhen grew increasingly sullen as they listened; Hu Ge's drooping hand gradually clenched into a fist, and Tiger Sister's face flushed crimson with anger, she lifted her foot several times only to set it down again.

Cheng Shuili had originally prepared to come up and keep fighting, but seeing the two Shou Ren Xiao Zhen so enraged and not launching an attack herself, she understood.

In Shou Ren Xiao Zhen, NPCs are divided into good and bad; good NPCs help players and give them items, such as the police chief.

And bad NPCs like Hu Ge and Tiger Sister lure players! How is that any different from the human trafficking of the previous world?

No matter the place, human traffickers deserve death!

Cheng Shuili frowned, tightening her grip on the long sword a little more.

Hu Ge, who has practiced martial arts for years, saw the human's movements and understood her intention.

He wasn't scared at all; instead, he threw his head back and laughed.

His laughter was a touch manic; the anger and hatred that had been on his face vanished, replaced by a sense of "I'm not doing well, and you won't be either".

After a pause, Cheng Shuili heard the two Shou Ren Xiao Zhen say in an outrageously arrogant tone, "We cheated you, so what?"

Hu Ge spread his hands and said, "Shou Ren Xiao Zhen cannot attack humans; conversely, humans are also prohibited from attacking Shou Ren Xiao Zhen!"

"We cheated you, you took such a huge risk, and in the end you get not a single Game Coin. Are you angry?"

Tiger Sister had still been upset, but hearing Hu Ge's words she also became delighted, "Exactly, being angry won't help! What can you do with us?"

"What can you do with us?"

Cheng Shuili echoed the sentence, silently sheathing her long sword.

She glanced at the time; she could stay in Shou Ren Xiao Zhen for less than twenty minutes this time, which would be enough if she moved quickly.

Tiger Sister couldn't grasp the human's tone, she could only barely understand the meaning.

She twirled her tail proudly in the air, hands on hips, brazenly declaring, "Not only can you do nothing with us, you'll also keep coming here to spend! And you'll buy weapons from Hu Ge!"

"Within the permission limits, we can mark up the price by up to fifty percent! Understand? From now on, when you buy anything in Shou Ren Xiao Zhen, it'll be the most expensive!"

Hu Ge wasn't that arrogant, but he felt confident; he pointed at Cheng Shuili's long sword, "The deal is void; you should return this sword to me! And you've dirtied it, already affecting my repeat purchase!"

"According to Shou Ren Xiao Zhen's rules, you must compensate me at full price! But we didn't agree on a price at the start, so I can trade with you at the highest price!"

"That means 1500 Game Coin!"

Hu Ge grew more excited as he spoke; after stating the number, he extended his hand, "Now, either hand over the Game Coin, or come work at my weapons shop to repay the debt!"

Tiger Sister laughed beside him, unable to stop, still wanting to add something as a weight.

Unfortunately, Cheng Shuili showed no interest in her merchandise from start to finish, so she had nothing to say.

Those sounds entered Cheng Shuili's left ear and left through the right.

She had just asked Xinxue to fetch her a rope.

Before leaving, Cheng Shuili deliberately sorted the Abyssal Ring, removing anything that shouldn't be inside; now that she needs it, she can only turn to Xinxue for help.

Two beastmen stared wide-eyed as a rope appeared out of thin air in Cheng Shuili's hand.

Then, that human surged forward at a speed utterly inhuman.

Hu Ge didn't even have time to react before Cheng Shuili slammed a heavy elbow strike into his abdomen.

This is purely a personal grudge.

But unfortunately, the attack ban seems to have taken effect.

Cheng Shuili kept moving; before Hu Ge could react, he felt his wrist tighten as the rope wrapped around it.

"What are you doing?!" Tiger sister shouted and lunged forward, but Cheng Shuili sidestepped and kicked her knee in passing.

Now that really was a smooth kick.

Tiger sister instinctively tried to dodge, but the next second her hands were bound by the rope.

"No attacking! Don't you understand?"

"You're all immune yet you're still talking rules to me?" Cheng Shuili snorted, her hands not stopping, "This isn't called attacking."

"I'm just tying up those two traffickers."
