Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 101, Aftermath of the War

Lin Yue didn't believe Li Guang could be stronger than her! Sure enough, when Li Guang first saw Lin Yue trying to grab his whip, he had a gloating sneer on his face, as if mocking Lin Yue for trying to break a rock with an egg. But soon, he felt the enormous force coming from the other end of the whip. Not only did the whip almost slip from his hand, but he was also nearly pulled away, and his expression immediately changed.

But Li Guang was a veteran of many battles, and upon seeing this, he immediately reacted. He quickly gripped the whip handle tightly with both hands, lowered his legs slightly, shifted his center of gravity backward, and assumed a tug-of-war stance, trying to resist Lin Yue's dragging.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a few seconds. Li Guang's arms were bulging with veins and his muscles were taut. His legs were also deeply embedded in the ground, and he was unable to move for the time being.

Seeing this, Lin Yue's lips curled up slightly, forming a smile. Then, she raised her right hand, and a large purple flower flew towards Li Guang.

Li Guang was stunned for a moment by this sudden scene. Before he could come to his senses, the "man-eating flower" flew in front of him like lightning, and swallowed Li Guang whole in one gulp.

Instantly, the battlefield fell into a deathly silence; the rest of the Mighty Team seemed stunned by what they had just witnessed. A moment later, they let out a series of terrified screams and scattered in all directions.

Lin Yue stood there quietly, her gaze fixed on the "man-eating flower" with its tightly closed mouth and constantly writhing petals. This was the first time in her life that she had killed someone with her own hands, and she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, momentarily stunned.

The scene from just now kept replaying in her mind; Li Guang's wide-eyed stare and ferocious expression seemed still vivid in her mind, but the points notification sound had already gone off.

[Kill player Li Guang, gain 77 points. Do you want to collect Li Guang's supplies?]

It seems that Li Guang has indeed completely disappeared from this game. Lin Yue paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."

[Received 11 instant noodles, 5 bottled water, 3 sausages, 77 wood...]

Li Guang didn't have any decent weapons or equipment. His only long whip was swallowed, and Lin Yue pulled him back the moment it was swallowed. Apart from that, Lin Yue only got some food and materials.

However, if killing not only yields points but also resources, Lin Yue isn't surprised that the number of people in the regional chat has dropped so rapidly.

Jiang Siwei and her senior brother were clearly taken aback by this sudden turn of events. They had initially expected the battle to be exceptionally difficult, and were even prepared for the possibility of losing their lives, but they never anticipated such a dramatic turn of events. For a moment, the two of them stood there dumbfounded, their hands still tightly gripping their weapons, their faces filled with astonishment.

A moment later, it was Jiang Siwei's senior brother who was the first to recover from his shock. He took a deep breath, then clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Yue and said politely, "Thank you. If it weren't for your timely intervention, my junior sister and I would have lost our lives. We are deeply grateful for your great kindness."

His voice was steady and powerful, but the content was somewhat inappropriately literary, making Lin Yue feel a little dazed. She shook her head to come back to her senses, and first bent down to pick up the long whip that Li Guang had dropped on the ground. The whip was heavy in her hand, and it seemed as if Li Guang's aura still lingered on the whip. Lin Yue felt a little awkward, but she quickly suppressed it.

Then, she quickly put "Frost Archer" and "Wall of Nuts" back into her bracelet backpack, interrupting the curious glances from the two people opposite her.

Finally, Lin Yue's gaze fell once again on the still wriggling "man-eating flower," a troubled look on her face, unsure of what to do with it.

Jiang Siwei finally snapped out of her shock. She turned around and saw Lin Yue's condition. She quickly stepped forward, patted Lin Yue's shoulder reassuringly, and asked in a gentle voice, "Lin Yue, are you alright?"

Jiang Siwei didn't seem to be good at comforting people. After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "It's okay. When I killed someone for the first time, I was just as uncomfortable as you are now. You'll get used to it over time."

Lin Yue chuckled. She looked up at Jiang Siwei's worried eyes and felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She slowly calmed down.

She was a person of unwavering resolve; once she did something, she wouldn't regret it. Therefore, after the initial discomfort gradually faded, she regained her usual cool demeanor, and her eyes brightened again.

After nodding to Jiang Siwei, Lin Yue said, "I'm fine, thank you."

"Lin Yue?" Jiang Siwei's senior brother was taken aback when he heard the name. His expression, which had been relaxed after surviving the ordeal, turned to one of confusion. He turned to look at Jiang Siwei, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels, "Junior sister, do you know Lin Yue? Is she the Lin Yue I know?"

His eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation, looking exactly like a fan seeing their idol. Seeing his senior brother revert to his silly and adorable expression, Jiang Siwei felt a little helpless, but still nodded in agreement.

"A celebrity!" Upon seeing this reply, Chen Lingfeng immediately became excited, his whole body surging with energy. He moved closer to Lin Yue and began to scrutinize her from head to toe, completely losing the fierce look he had during the battle—a look that suggested "kill one to recoup your losses, kill two to make a profit."

Jiang Siwei was used to her senior brother's eccentricities, but fearing that Lin Yue would be embarrassed, she quickly pushed Chen Lingfeng's big face away and whispered, "Senior brother, be normal!"

Her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she were a little embarrassed. After pushing Chen Lingfeng away, Jiang Siwei turned to Lin Yue, looking at her somewhat shyly, and thanked her again, "Thank you, Lin Yue."

Lin Yue shook her head and led the two away from the "man-eating flower's" hunting range before speaking, "I've already dragged you into this, so there's no need to thank me. But how did Li Guang recognize you?"

Lin Yue was somewhat puzzled. This high-altitude survival game did a pretty good job protecting player privacy; unless someone actively turned on their video, no one else could see the player's real appearance. How did Li Guang determine that Jiang Siwei was the one selling upgrade stones?

Upon hearing Lin Yue's question, Jiang Siwei's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Do you remember what I mentioned to you before, the incident that happened between Li Guang and my senior brother in the competition?"
