"Well, I'd like to, but I don't have any extra ones right now," Gu Wanyin said helplessly.
She would have to wait for new missions. If there were rewards of remote machines again, she could come back to the island to install them.
"Oh, alright." Mindless was a bit disappointed.
However, it understood in its heart that it shouldn't be too greedy, so it still sincerely thanked Gu Wanyin.
"I'll head back now, but if you have time later, you're all welcome to come play at the hotel."
"Absolutely! Take care, Boss Gu, have a safe trip!"
Gu Wanyin left Lunxi Island.
Meanwhile, the elves were still happily picking mushrooms and buying snacks from the vending machine.
"This looks so delicious!"
"I got this before in a mystery box at the hotel. Trust me, it's super tasty!"
"Is this drink good?"
"No, it's too sweet."
"I want to buy it anyway, I love sweet things."
...
After flying across the ocean and reaching land, Gu Wanyin descended to the ground.
She thought she'd walk for a while, and if she encountered anyone, she could promote the hotel.
Although the hotel's reputation was gradually growing, there were probably still many people who didn't know about it.
She could always fly back to the hotel when she got tired.
With Bai Shuwen and Old Six at the hotel, she wasn't worried.
After walking for a while without meeting anyone, she encountered a vampire.
This vampire wasn't flying either, just walking on the ground.
And complaining while walking.
"Damn it all, have all the humans died out or something? I've been walking forever and haven't seen a single one!"
Gu Wanyin: "..."
She thought this vampire might have some intelligence issues.
Walking so brazenly on the road like that, what normal human wouldn't see him from afar and run away?
At that moment, the vampire spotted her too.
His eyes turned red with excitement as he bared his fangs and said, "A human! And a beautiful woman at that! Wait right there, I'm coming!"
With that, he lunged at Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin's mouth twitched slightly, and as he was about to reach her, she casually created a small lightning ball and threw it at him.
The vampire was completely unprepared and was struck directly by the lightning ball.
After a crackling sound came the vampire's scream.
"Ouch!"
He clutched the spot where the lightning ball had hit him and fell hard on his backside.
"Who... who are you?"
"Ah, my ability just reached level five, I haven't quite mastered it yet," Gu Wanyin mused, looking at her hand without paying him any attention.
Level five ability was capable of far more than just that little lightning ball!
The vampire was furious at being ignored.
"Are you listening to me? I asked who you are!"
Gu Wanyin took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "I think I've got the hang of it now, let's try again."
The vampire: "?"
Try what?
On whom?
Before he could figure out the answers, he saw Gu Wanyin forming another lightning ball in her hand.
This one was clearly bigger than the previous one.
And the crackling sound it made was particularly jarring.
The vampire's instincts told him he needed to run.
But by the time he realized this, it was too late.
Gu Wanyin had already thrown the lightning ball at him.
This time, the vampire couldn't even get out a scream before being paralyzed by the electricity.
He lay there, his body charred black, occasionally twitching.
Gu Wanyin thought to herself that this vampire really wasn't very bright.
A normal vampire would have dodged long ago.
How could they let her hit them so easily?
Just as Gu Wanyin was about to walk away, two figures suddenly burst out from the roadside bushes.
They quickly rushed to the vampire's side, pulled out silver daggers, and frantically stabbed him several times.
The vampire was already very weak.
After being stabbed like this, he quickly died.
And those two people obtained the Blood Element Pearl.
Gu Wanyin hadn't thought much of it at first.
After all, she had no use for the Blood Element Pearl.
She had only tested her level five lightning ability on the vampire because he had attacked her.
However, after getting the Blood Element Pearl, the two people looked at her warily.
"Hey, you don't think this Blood Element Pearl should be yours, do you?" one of the men asked menacingly.
Gu Wanyin: "?"
Had she said anything like that?
These two were probably just feeling guilty themselves...
After all, they knew they had just picked up someone else's spoils.
"What are you looking at?" the other man shouted, "We killed this vampire, so the Blood Element Pearl belongs to us! Get lost!"
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but laugh in anger.
The Blood Element Pearl was something she didn't care about in the first place.
Since these two had delivered the final blow, she wouldn't have minded letting them have it, and she could have even taken them back to the hotel to exchange the pearl for points to spend.
But before she could say anything, they were already telling her to get lost?
"Shouldn't I get a share of that Blood Element Pearl?" Gu Wanyin asked with a half-smile.
"Heh." One of the men laughed sinisterly. "Little girl, so you know how important the Blood Element Pearl is, huh? You're planning to go to that hotel too?"
"In that case, we definitely can't give it to you," the other man said. "We've heard that Blood Element Pearls can be exchanged for good stuff at that hotel, and you probably know that too, right? Now that this Blood Element Pearl is in our hands, don't even think about getting it!"
As he spoke, he waved his silver dagger threateningly.
"This knife doesn't just kill vampires, it can kill humans too!"
Earlier, when they had seen the vampire, they had been too scared and had hidden, not daring to look up.
So they hadn't witnessed Gu Wanyin taking down the vampire with her lightning balls.
They had only seen the vampire fall.
As for the vampire's current state, they assumed it was some kind of divine punishment.
They couldn't even imagine that a human could summon lightning.
In their eyes, Gu Wanyin was just a fragile young girl.
Killing her would be as easy as swatting a fly.
"Well, now I'm definitely taking that Blood Element Pearl," Gu Wanyin said.
"Looks like you're asking for trouble!"
One of the men approached her aggressively, brandishing his knife.
Gu Wanyin thought to herself that she had only used her lightning ability on vampires before.
She hadn't tried it on humans yet.
This would be a good opportunity to test it out.
She was planning to throw another lightning ball like before.
If a vampire could survive that kind of lightning ball attack,
A human definitely wouldn't.
However, just before releasing the lightning ball, something occurred to her.
These two were planning to go to the hotel...
Heh, she would show them what true despair really meant.
