Chapter 36: Trading Storm (Part 2)

The middle-aged man, who was constantly morally kidnapping Sally, had a smile that never disappeared from his face when he saw Sally pursing her lips and not speaking for a long time.

He naturally knew the true value of the Water Rune. It was good luck to be able to exchange it for 500ml of pure water. But now, he could exchange it for 1L of pure water from these two people. How could he not be happy?

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as you agree to the transaction?"

When the middle-aged man said this, he didn't even take out the Water Rune. He reached out to take the pure water. He didn't think that these two youngsters would do anything out of line under such great pressure.

"..."

But at this moment, an extremely discordant voice sounded.

"Who gave you the courage to steal my things?"

Nick's face was calm, showing no joy or anger, but his eyes were full of coldness. He raised his head and locked his gaze on the middle-aged survivor.

Finally, he swept his gaze over the few people who were egging him on.

Nick, who witnessed this good show, was quite satisfied with Sally's performance. In this dungeon world without any order, she didn't lower the bottom line of the transaction because of this moral kidnapping.

It was just that she couldn't think of a better countermeasure for a while. After all, she was just a 16-year-old girl with an immature mind, and Nick could just use this opportunity to teach her a good lesson.

After all, in the future dungeon world, there would only be more of this kind of moral kidnapping.

"Or are you bullying my partner?"

Nick slowly stood up, holding the Rune Bow in his left hand, and looked at the middle-aged survivor. The next moment, the latter felt a chill.

The middle-aged survivor subconsciously took a few steps back, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "I'm just trading with her."

"Even if you're a team, not all of these survival resources are yours. That girl also has the right to allocate them. I and her..."

However, Nick didn't give him a chance to finish.

He pulled the bowstring without hesitation. In an instant, a powerful vortex enveloped Nick, making his clothes rustle.

An invisible wind arrow gradually condensed, and its power was a few points stronger than when it was first used.

"Whoosh!"

Nick didn't hesitate at all and decisively released the bowstring. With a short whooshing sound, the wind arrow shot towards the middle-aged survivor.

The target was his head.

However, the scene of his brains splattering didn't appear. Instead, a wound was left on the middle-aged survivor's cheek, and blood flowed out continuously.

His eyes were full of indifference. For him, it seemed to be just a trivial matter.

When the middle-aged survivor felt the warmth and pain on his cheek, his legs couldn't help trembling. He had long lost his previous composure, and his eyes were full of panic as he looked at Nick.

Nick looked at the middle-aged survivor's fierce but cowardly appearance, his eyes full of contempt, and warned, "You have 10 seconds to disappear from my sight."

"I can't guarantee that the next arrow won't directly blow your head off."

Facing Nick's undisguised killing intent, the middle-aged survivor's legs went weak, and he fell to the ground with an unsteady center of gravity. The surrounding survivors quickly dispersed after seeing this, indicating that they were drawing a line with this person.

Nick didn't bother to look at the middle-aged survivor. Whether in the real world or the dungeon world, there was no shortage of such stupid and bad people.

He swept his gaze over the other survivors, and the originally noisy environment instantly quieted down.

After all, Nick's decisiveness and strength were placed in front of them. If they still used the previous incident as an excuse, the outcome would definitely not be good...

"..."

Finally, Nick turned his gaze to Sally beside him. When he saw her self-blaming appearance, the frost on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.

Overall, Nick was satisfied with Sally's performance. It was just that her handling of this kind of situation was not sophisticated enough.

Sally nodded slightly, not daring to look directly at Nick's eyes. She said in a low voice, "I'm sorry... Captain, I caused you trouble."

Nick smiled and shook his head. He asked, "Did you remember?"

"Huh?"

"If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, just use the method I just used. Absolutely, absolutely no one will dare to say another word."

After hearing this, Sally raised her head and blinked her eyes in confusion. The next words completely refreshed her understanding of Nick.

Nick's mouth curled up slightly, and he said quite seriously: "You must remember one thing in the future, as long as you have no morals, morals cannot kidnap you!"

"..."

Sally looked at Nick with some strangeness, but still nodded seriously. Even if someone asked in the future, she would say that he taught her.

As for the other survivors present, they subconsciously took a few steps back. Going against someone like Nick would probably not end well.

The person involved, Nick, glanced at the survivors and completely lost interest. He looked at Sally and said, "I'll leave the trading to you..."

"Don't worry, Captain."

Sally clenched her fists, and a bit more determination appeared in her eyes. No matter what, she couldn't disappoint Nick in the next transaction. Just treat it as a reward for Nick's recognition of her.

'Partner'.

Sally took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes looking at the survivors changed.

It was as if the many survivors standing in front of her were not people, but items, arranged and classified according to their value.

And in Sally's eyes, Nick was the only color among the countless people she had encountered in this strange dungeon world.

She coughed lightly, turned her gaze to the many survivors, a bright smile on her face, and said, "Does anyone want to trade a Water Rune for 200ml of pure water?"

"And... two runes can be directly exchanged for a bag of 500ml of pure water!"
