Ye Qiu Falls for It Again, and The Bitch Obtains the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella!

Sun Xiang was somewhat dissatisfied . "I've got pretty good luck too!"

"Not as good as mine," Liu Hao said calmly.

"Who says so? Just the other day, I bought an iced red tea and won another bottle!" Sun Xiang retorted.

Liu Hao rolled his eyes at Sun Xiang. What was there to be proud of about that? He had fought countless battles with Chen Guo without protection, and Chen Guo never won anything!

Ignoring Sun Xiang, Liu Hao decisively fired a shot, sending a silver bullet flying towards Lord Grim.

"Damn! You're shameless, launching a sneak attack!" Sun Xiang hurriedly swung his sword, trying to kill Lord Grim in advance.

Ye Qiu, seeing the incoming bullet and slash, began to lose hope. But suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in his ear.

"Quick, dodge!"

A tank-busting missile flew in from the side, sending Sun Xiang's Berserker flying, while Ye Qiu quickly opened his shield umbrella to block Liu Hao's bullet.

"Get out o; I'll, I'll hold them off!" Windward Formation stepped forward.

Ye Qiu felt a glimmer of hope, but as he assessed the situatiorealisedalized that even with Su Mucheng's help, he couldn't escape Liu Hao's relentless pursuit. Plus, the peoplethe from Jia Dynasty were circling like hungry tigers.

"Kill me!" Ye Qiu suddenly said.

Su Mucheng was stunned. "Kill you? Why?"

"I can't let Liu Hao get the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella!" Ye Qiu was very calm. "If you kill me, even if the umbrella drops, you can pick it up!"

Su Mucheng hesitated. "But if I kill you, your level will drop, and your stats will decrease too."

Su Mucheng couldn't bring herself to do it, but Ye Qiu found it both funny and frustrating. How could Su Mucheng suddenly become so soft-hearted at such a critical moment?

"But if you don't kill me, I'll be killed by Liu Hao anyway. Won't the loss in level and experience be the same?" Ye Qiu explaing this, Su Mucheng shook off her hesitation and immediately turned her gun to prepare for a shot.

At that moment, Liu Hao suddenly said, "Why do you have to be so dramatic? Just throw the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to Su Mucheng!"

Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng both froze. Right, why hadn't they thought of that? All Lord Grim had to do was throw the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to her!

Ye Qiu quickly accepted Liu Hao's suggestion without considering why Liu Hao was helping him. In this critical moment, he instinctively threw the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella towards Windward Formation. But as soon as he did, he regretted it.

Yrealisedalized he had fallen into Liu Hao's trap again. If he were killed, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella might drop, but now that he had thrown it, it was guaranteed to be dropped!

Liu Hao flashed a sinister smile. "Ye Qiu, you do have your stupid moments!"

"I can still catch it," Su Mucheng said as she fired her cannon to rush towards the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

But a grenade flies faster than a cannon. Liu Hao threw a grenade, and it exploded between Ye Qiu and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, killing Lord Grim and sending the umbrella flying towards Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang effortlessly picked up the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

Ye Qiu looked coldly agreys gray screen and the empty weapon slot. He sighed helplessly, "I never thought I'd experience such a downfall in an online game."

He took out his phone and sent a message to Liu Hao: "Liu Hao, let's talk about the conditions. What will it take for you to return the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to me?"

…

"Liu Hao!" Su Mucheng looked at Liu Hao with teary eyes. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was the key to Ye Qiu's return, so why wouldn't Liu Hao let him go? Why was he blocking Ye Qiu's way back?

Liu Hao's face remained expressionless. "I thought you had gone to bed. Why are you here?"

"None of your business," Su Mucheng retorted sharply. "Give me back the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella!"

"Give it back to you?"

"That was my brother's creation!" Su Mucheng was on the verge of tears. "If you dare dismantle it, I'll fight you to the death!"

Liu Hao was taken aback. Was Su Mucheng actually crying? And he hadn't even said he was going to dismantle the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella…

"Don't cry, fine? I won't dismantle it, okay? Actually, I never planned to dismantle it," Liu Hao said, flustered, unsure how to handle a girl's tears.

Not dismantle it? Su Mucheng suddenly felt less afraid. The only thing she feared was Liu Hao destroying the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, cutting off Ye Qiu's return. But if Liu Hao didn't dismantle it, then they could negotiate!

"If you give me back the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, I won't cry," Su Mucheng "threatened."

Liu Hao sighed. "Did you misunderstand something? Using 'not crying' as a threat doesn't seem very effective."

Su Mucheng wiped her tears. "Then what will it take for you to return it?"

Liu Hao smiled slightly. "Come to my room tonight, and I'll tell you."

"…" Su Mucheng clenched her fists. "Shameless! Pervert! In your dreams!"

Liu Hao was stunned. "What are you thinking? Wang Ze is in my room too!"

"Wang Ze?" Su Mucheng blushed. "One isn't enough for you? You need to bring your lackey, along too?"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Liu Hao quickly interrupted. "Have you been watching too many soap operas? I just wanted to discuss the terms for returning the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. What are you thinking? And what do you mean by 'one isn't enough'?"

"…" Su Mucheng didn't dare to say anything more realising she had indeed misunderstood. Could it be that her mind had become impure? No, no, it was Liu Hao's fault for saying things that were so easily misinterpreted.

"Fine!" Su Mucheng agreed, logging off and hiding her red face under the covers.

Sun Xiang, resting his face in his hand, quietly watched the drama unfold, mumbling, "How come no one talks to me? Isn't the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella still in my hands? Why isn't Su Mucheng negotiating with me?"

Liu Hao rolled his eyes at Sun Xiang. "Do you want Su Mucheng to come to your room?"

Sun Xiang, unable to handle the suggestion, blushed furiously. "Y-you-you… don't say things like that! I never thought of such a thing!"

Liu Hao chuckled. Sun Xiang's shy reaction was actually kind of cute. "Give me the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. I want to study it."

Sun Xiang snorted but still obediently handed over the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. He actually admired Liu Hao for pulling off such a trick, tricking Ye Qiu into obediently throwing out the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Silently, he praised Liu Hao for intelligent smart and cunning.

Liu Hao didn't care about Sun Xiang's thoughts. Whether he was clever smart or cunning, he didn't care what others thought. What he cared about was analyzing the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and uncovering its core design principles.(Boy it this point it is getting rather shitty lmao)

Liu Hao openeSilver Gearr gear editor and used the abilities he had gained from the system to analyze the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and comprehend its core design concepts.

After absorbing the knowledge, Liu Hao couldn't help but praise, "Impressive."

He glanced at Ye Qiu's text message on his phone, smiled slightly, and typed a reply.

Then, he took out his account card, returned to the dorm, and waited for Su Mucheng to knock on his door that night.
