Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 50 Rat
"Um……"

Xiaobai turned pale; her health bar was down to only 16%. Two more shots would put her in a critically injured state, which was extremely dangerous for the player. At that moment, we had no idea if someone was aiming at us with a sniper rifle.

So Zhang Ruolin and I flanked Xiaobai with our shields. Then we saw Axe rushing over, and seeing Xiaobai's low health, he exclaimed with bloodshot eyes, "Damn it... Ragnarok people are insane! Where's that... oh right, right?"

"already dead."

Zhang Ruolin said, "Ding Han, kill him!"

"happy!"

Axe gave me an approving look: "This kind of scum should be killed!"

I remained silent.

The first time I killed a player, even though the other party had only themselves to blame, it was still a bad feeling. I hated the smell of blood that filled my nostrils, and I hated the feeling of killing even more, because... this could actually be real murder.

Stepping into the phase teleportation array and arriving at the player black market, one is finally safe.

"Ding Han, are you alright?"

Ruolin noticed my unease.

"fine."

I shook my head: "It's just that the scene of the murder was too clear, it makes me a little uncomfortable..."

"Ding Han..."

Xiao Bai said softly, "Thank you so much this time. You saved my life, and I will remember it."

"Why are you so polite?"

I frowned and looked at her: "Xiaobai, we've been good friends since we first arrived in Xicheng. We'll be friends for life. Don't say things like that anymore. I believe that if I were in danger, you and everyone else would do the same to save me."

"Ok!"

Everyone nodded slightly.

"Ding Han, you don't look well..."

Axe took out a shield and said, "Ruolin and I will escort Xiaobai back by taxi. You should adjust yourself and not think too much. That person's death was his own fault. Besides, he may not really be dead. You may have helped him pass on and return him to the real world."

"I hope so. I'm going to the exchange. You guys go ahead and be careful."

"There's no danger inside the ancient city, don't worry."

"Not necessarily, it's better to be cautious."

“Okay~~~”

The three left, and I headed towards the exchange to find Old Ma.

Ah yes, yes, quite a lot of things were leaked. We need to deal with them. Keep what we can use and sell what we can't. We need to return Lu Xiaobei's 2 yuan as soon as possible, after all, it's not easy for her as a girl.

……

"You're back again?" Old Ma said with a smile.

"Yes, I went out to take care of some things."

I laughed and said, "Old Ma, I have some things here for you to see, in exchange for some money and bullets."

"Sure, let's take a look."

So I took out all the equipment I needed: a green sniper rifle, a green submachine gun, a white pistol, and a green helmet, but nothing I wanted.

The drop rate in Star Abyss is extremely low. Basically, you only get equipment rewards by defeating bosses or completing high-difficulty tasks. As for regular monsters, even elite monsters, the chance of dropping ability crystals is quite low. So, yes, even though I'm a Tier 2 damage dealer, I don't have many pieces of equipment.

Or perhaps they had equipment, but traded it all for guns.

In addition, he also dropped three explosive grenades and 3000 rounds of 9mm ammunition, which are quite nice, and I'll gladly accept them all.

"Wow, so many good things!"

Old Ma started appraising the items: "The green sniper rifle is a good one, worth 1.8. The green submachine gun is also good, I'll give you a buy-back price of 1.3. The pistol is pretty rubbish, I'll offer 3000. This green helmet is alright, I'll offer 6000. That's a total of 4. What do you think of this price?"

"Not bad, the deal can be made."

I nodded.

"readily!"

Old Ma nodded with a smile.

"But for such a big order, you have to give me something in return: 2000 rounds of 9mm ammunition, how about that?"

"Holy crap, you're really ruthless..."

Old Ma was speechless for a moment, then pondered for a while, seemingly realizing there was still a good deal to be made. He then laughed and said, "Alright, you're a regular customer, and you've always been quite supportive of my business... oh no, I mean, my business with me, Old Liu. I'll make an exception this time and give you 2000 rounds of ammunition!"

"OK!"

I nodded: "Then I'll buy an extra 3000 rounds of 9mm ammunition."

Insufficient stockpiles can cause anxiety about running out of ammunition, so from now on I need to develop a good habit of always keeping 1 bullets in my interdimensional storage space as a backup, so I won't feel anxious.

"also."

I hesitated for a moment, then glanced at my Star Coin balance. Not much left, really not much. "Old Ma, I'll buy two RPG-32 rocket grenades."

"Row!"

Old Ma smiled and nodded: "You have a transmitter?"

"Have."

"Wow, they managed to get their hands on such rare stuff!"

"No problem at all~~~"

Not long after, Lao Ma returned with 3000 rounds of ammunition and two heavy rocket grenades. After the transaction, I still had more than 20,000 yuan left. After deducting the 20,000 yuan I owed Lu Xiaobei, the remaining money should be enough to find a place to live and make ends meet for a month or two.

……

It was past 7 p.m. when I returned to my lodgings.

Although I was starving, I really didn't want to go out to eat looking like this. I got splattered with blood when I killed "Ah, right, right," and my shirt was all red. I had to go back to my place to change, otherwise it would be too scary.

"Click~~"

Open the living room door, then quickly turn around and close it.

But just as I turned around, I saw a figure standing in front of the sofa. I forgot that I was not living alone; I also had a roommate whose WeChat account was completely blank.

"you……"

Lin Qingying looked over and her gaze fell on the large patch of blood on my chest.

"Today I'm painting my friend's furniture. This is the paint."

"Ah."

She nodded, saying nothing more, always seemingly so quiet.

"Ding Han, when are you moving?"

After a long silence, she finally whispered, "Tomorrow is the last day..."

"Okay, I'll definitely move out tomorrow!"

She stopped talking, simply tidied up the documents and notebooks on the coffee table, and then went back to her room.

……

I sighed. Someone like her, who clearly comes from a wealthy family, has no idea how hard life is for us peasants!

I took off my clothes, rinsed them with tap water, and then put them in the washing machine to wash them.

After that, I went downstairs to eat. I was starving because I hadn't eaten all day. I ordered a chicken hot pot and finished it off in no time. Then I went to the community's bulletin board to check if there were any suitable houses for me.

I found a few that I liked, but when I called, either no one answered or they said the houses had already been rented out.

Finding an apartment can be really difficult sometimes.

I wandered around until about 11 p.m., but it seemed unlikely that I could resolve the housing issue today, so I had to give up.

Go back to your room and go to sleep!
……

That night, I had a nightmare. I dreamt of someone being beheaded by me with a sword. The scene of blood gushing out was so real, just like when "Ah, yes, yes" died.

"what……"

Just then, a scream suddenly woke me from my sleep, and the scream came from next door.

"what happened?"

I hurriedly threw on my clothes and went outside, only to find the living room light already on. Lin Qingying, wearing only her pajamas, looked at me in a panic, then pointed to her room: "There are mice..."

"It's just a rat, isn't it?"

I frowned: "You're so tough, yet you're afraid of a mouse?"

Where did I act arrogantly?

She responded weakly, seemingly a little unconvinced.

"never mind."

I unscrewed the broom handle and asked, "May I come into your room?"

"Um……"

She nodded.

So I went into her room, and a pleasant fragrance immediately wafted over me. A woman's room is indeed different. When Milo lived here before, it was full of the smell of feet or cigarette smoke.

After turning on the light, I looked around and finally crouched down to look under the bed. Sure enough, I saw the culprit: a big black rat squatting under the bed, looking at me with a terrified expression.

"Shh!"

One swing of the stick, and he's dead!

Advanced Throwing Lv10, terrifyingly powerful!
