Quick Transmigration: The Villain Boss is a Bit Cute - Chapter 164
Chapter 164
“T-That, five crystal cores are enough.”
Even though chocolate was now a hot commodity, crystal cores were even more so.
These were items that could boost one’s powers, once you had strength, what food couldn’t you get?
Su Hua glared at him.
“I said fifty, so it’s fifty. Are you trading or not?”
The muscleman looked completely dumbfounded, but seeing the green-glowing crystal cores, he’d have to be an idiot not to agree.
“Deal.”
The muscleman hurriedly handed over the chocolate to Su Hua.
Su Hua loosened her hands, and the crystal cores spilled down into the man’s crossed legs with a clatter.
Her fair and slender fingers took the chocolate, and she turned to head upstairs.
Everyone: “……”
Lin Xiaoqi and her group were wide-eyed.
Those were crystal cores!
And not just a few—fifty of them!
Although Lin Xiaoqi had spatial powers, her space didn’t produce crystal cores, and her abilities had to be improved bit by bit.
Crystal cores were extremely important to her too!
But Li Hua had so many crystal cores and didn’t give her even one!
This gave Lin Xiaoqi a sense of betrayal!
Her resentment deepened.
Even if she had snatched her pendant and taken the male lead away, she was still the original female protagonist.
Heaven would still favor her!
She was supposed to die, but not only did she awaken her ability, she seemed to have stumbled into some stroke of luck too.
Lin Xiaoqi was beginning to regret it, if she had known, she shouldn’t have pushed her out.
She should’ve just killed her to cut off all future trouble.
Su Hua, unaware that Lin Xiaoqi was secretly plotting her death, went back to her room to sleep right after completing her task.
It was already 1 AM.
If she didn’t sleep soon, she was going to blow a fuse.
Downstairs, Leng Xi’s group assigned night watch duties, and the rest started to rest.
The night passed peacefully.
No zombie attacks.
Su Hua slept like a log and woke up at ten in the morning.
She pulled out some biscuits from her space and munched on them, but they tasted bland and dry.
She wanted a proper meal.
The female lead’s space definitely had food, after all, one month before the apocalypse, the female lead had sent someone to steal her pendant.
She must’ve hoarded a ton of supplies.
But asking Su Hua to go beg the female lead like some loser? Impossible!
She had her pride too.
After washing up, Su Hua went downstairs and saw Leng Xi leading the group as they were about to leave.
Lin Xiaoqi was the first to approach, carefully asking, “We’re getting ready to go. Do you want to come with us?”
“Go with you, so you can shove me to the zombies again?”
Lin Xiaoqi froze, she hadn’t expected Su Hua to bring that up again.
A flash of awkwardness crossed her eyes.
But it was quickly replaced by indignation.
So what if she had pushed her to the zombies? If not for her, how could she have awakened her power?
Shouldn’t she be grateful instead?
“Why do you have to keep saying it like that?”
Lin Xiaoqi’s face was full of confusion and pain, as if she couldn’t understand why her good friend would suddenly slander her.
Zhao Chonghao stepped forward again.
“Li Hua, that’s enough! Stop trying to sow discord here. We all know what kind of person Xiaoqi is. You don’t have to smear her like this.”
“Brother Chonghao.”
Lin Xiaoqi tugged his sleeve and lowered her head slightly, looking like a poor bullied little wife.
“Don’t say that. She must have misunderstood me somehow.”
“Xiaoqi, you’re too kind. You need to realize, some people just aren’t worth your kindness.”
Zhao Chonghao looked at the delicate girl beside him, and felt his heart melt.
A girl like Xiaoqi, so beautiful and kind, wasn’t cut out to survive in the apocalypse.
He had to protect her.
Su Hua watched the two of them put on their little drama, then glanced sideways at the male lead.
Leng Xi had a poker face, but even then, she could still see the trace of annoyance in his eyes.
Su Hua didn’t bother with them and walked over to the three muscleheads who were enjoying the show.
“One hundred crystal cores. Hire you guys to escort me to Anqing Base.”
The three musclemen’s eyes lit up at once.
Yesterday, the muscleman had absorbed fifty cores and his power had jumped from level two to level three.
“Really?”
Su Hua casually pulled out twenty crystal cores from her space and set them on the table.
“Here’s the deposit.”
The three were practically drooling.
The guy with glasses, who hadn’t said a word, immediately stuffed the cores into his backpack.
“Deal.”
They were headed to Anqing Base anyway, taking one more person along made no difference.
Lin Xiaoqi’s eyes glazed over seeing so many cores.
“H-How do you have so many crystal cores?”
“None of your damn business.”
“…”
Her willow brows knitted slightly, her delicate nose wrinkled, her frail body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head, like Su Hua had just bullied her.
“Li Hua, you’re too much! Xiaoqi has always treated you so well, why are you treating her like this?”
Su Hua: “???”
Excuse me? What exactly did I do to her!?
“Brother Chonghao, don’t say that.”
“Xiaoqi, why are you still defending her?”
Su Hua: “……” Are these two addicted to acting or something?
Didn’t they just put on this exact play a moment ago?
Damn it! White lotus female lead…I’m seriously tempted to kill her!
【Host, calm down. That’s the female lead. You can’t kill her.】
“I have something to say.”
Su Hua’s words cut through Lin Xiaoqi and Zhao Chonghao’s back-and-forth.
The two looked up at her.
“Don’t you two get tired of putting on the same play every day?”
Lin Xiaoqi flinched, taking a few weak steps back.
“W-What do you mean by that?”
“Nothing in particular.”
Su Hua smiled, then turned to the three muscleheads.
“Let’s go. If I stay here with these dimwits any longer, I’ll end up as dumb as they are.”
The three muscleheads pursed their lips and followed Su Hua out the door with serious expressions.
But in their hearts, they were thinking—
Hold it in.
Don’t laugh.
As spectators, the three had already noticed—
Every time, it was that girl Xiaoqi who went up to start something, and it would always spiral into a “pitiful girl vs comforting male lead” scene.
Even standing off to the side, they felt secondhand embarrassment.
Once they exited the shop, a few nearby zombies caught their scent and immediately rushed over.
Looking at the zombies with green-gray faces, bulging black-and-white eyes, some missing arms or legs, Su Hua felt like she’d had incredible foresight hiring these people.
Otherwise, if she had to kill them herself, it would’ve been an insult to her sword.
“Ugh, hurry up and kill them.”
Hearing Su Hua’s voice, the muscleheads thought she was scared and quickly charged forward to take out the zombies.
The lone girl in their group stood protectively in front of Su Hua, just in case any zombies slipped through.
“Block them properly, jeez. They’re so ugly it hurts. How can there be such hideous creatures in the world?”
The girl: “…” So it wasn’t fear, it was because they were too ugly?
Once the zombies were dealt with, the four of them started searching for a vehicle.
Along the way, they introduced themselves.
The muscleman was Dong Jian, the guy with glasses was Liu Yufei, and the girl was Liu Yunyun.
Liu Yufei and Liu Yunyun were siblings.
Before the apocalypse, they were both university students.
Dong Jian was a fitness coach.
Their team had originally been seven people, but due to some issues, the three of them split from the group halfway through.
