Li Xiucheng swallowed, nodding repeatedly like a pecking chick.
"I understand, I understand. I will tell you everything I know, without reservation!"
Qi Xiao smiled.
"I didn't expect you, a Korean, to know so many idioms. How long have you been in the New World?"
"Ten, ten years. It's now New Calendar Year 40, and I arrived here in New Calendar Year 30."
The previous interval was ten years, which matched what Old Six's grandfather said.
So, every interval is a fixed ten years, then.
"You've only amounted to this much in ten years?"
Li Xiucheng dared not speak his anger. Being able to survive here already surpassed ninety-nine percent of people.
What's more, he had lived for ten years.
"New Calendar? Who set it?"
"Your Order Heavenly Kingdom, of course. I heard that the day the Order Heavenly Kingdom was established was designated as New Calendar Year One, and everyone later accepted it."
So, the Order Heavenly Kingdom was an organization established when the first batch of players appeared?
Qi Xiao pouted.
"Actually, I'm not some special recruit of the Order Heavenly Kingdom. I was just bragging."
Li Xiucheng looked bewildered when Qi Xiao said that.
"Huh?"
"I said that to put her at ease, just spouting nonsense. What if she wanted to kill you again? Should I stop her or not?"
Qi Xiao lifted his chin, an expression that implied 'you understand'.
"What's your relationship? Is she your girlfriend?"
"Yes, and you're now suspected of murdering my brother-in-law. You know how serious that crime is, right?"
Qi Xiao was serious and unblinking when he was bluffing.
He wanted to extract more information about the New World from this spineless fellow, especially regarding the Order Heavenly Kingdom and the Free Organization.
Previously, all information about these two factions came from Kong You and Xia Yuwan, who were adversaries, so they definitely wouldn't speak well of each other.
Now there was a third party, and the information he provided would at least be more objective.
Although he was also a Wanted Criminal by the Order Heavenly Kingdom, that was beside the point.
"That one with the small chest, is she also your girlfriend?"
"That's her sister."
Qi Xiao said casually, bluffing.
Li Xiucheng was speechless, softly muttering 'beast' in Korean.
"Wait, if you're not a special recruit of the Order Heavenly Kingdom, then how did you know that the Order Heavenly Kingdom has special recruits?"
Qi Xiao knew he would ask that. He said that precisely to throw out a rope for Li Xiucheng to grab and climb up himself.
"You know about Transfer Station, right?"
Li Xiucheng nodded.
"I know, everyone comes from there. When I found out I wasn't in the first batch of this survival game, I was stunned. I don't know what the planner was thinking."
"When I was at the Transfer Station earlier, a 'Order Welcome Officer' appeared in the chat room."
"She sent a message in the group, telling this year's special recruits to bring their badges to her to claim rewards, so everyone in this batch knew about this. "
"Speaking of rewards, there were quite a lot, fifty train coins, enough to buy you three lives."
"I really envy those who were specially recruited."
Li Xiucheng: ...
"That Welcome Officer was also a level 52 big shot. What was her name again?"
Qi Xiao looked like he was reminiscing.
"It seems to be something like, Kong, Kong You."
"Kong, Kong You?!"
Li Xiucheng's eyes widened. This was the first time Qi Xiao had seen Li Xiucheng so shocked.
He wasn't as surprised when he found out Li Zailong had died as he was now.
Judging by this reaction, it was good, there was potential.
Qi Xiao continued to coax him.
"What's wrong, do you know her?"
"How is she a member of the Order Heavenly Kingdom? She's one of the Order Heavenly Kingdom's mortal enemies, the second-in-command of the Free Organization, a super Wanted Criminal with a bounty of 4400 train coins!"
Qi Xiao put on a 'don't lie to me' expression.
"Really, if you don't believe me, go ask in the chat room, almost all old players know."
"She can go to the Transfer Station. It seems the rumors are true, she really has that Platform Travel module."
"Platform Travel module? What is that?"
Qi Xiao feigned ignorance and asked curiously.
Li Xiucheng explained, emphasizing how rare and powerful that module was.
Qi Xiao nodded repeatedly as he listened.
"Hmm, it's certainly powerful."
"You said she wanted the special recruits to bring their badges to claim rewards?"
"Ah, I even snuck over to watch. She collected all those badges and gave those new recruits a lot of train coins."
Li Xiucheng said fearfully:
"Something's going to happen, something big is going to happen to You'erdan."
"She must be using those badges to disguise herself as a new recruit, bypass inspections, and infiltrate You'erdan to mess with the Order Heavenly Kingdom."
Qi Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Hmm, that matched his previous guess.
This guy's mind was quite flexible.
"What exactly does the Order Heavenly Kingdom do? Do they have so many mortal enemies?"
"They just happened to arrive here a few decades earlier and control some public Train stations."
"They say they don't allow attacking others at public Train stations, and they want to create a public Train station where everyone is equal and under the rule of law."
"If we attack others at a public Train station, it's breaking the law, and they'll judge us."
"They have no right to, damn it."
"Ultimately, it means only they are allowed to rob, and we are not."
This point was quite similar to what Kong You had said.
"What about that Free Organization? What do they do?"
"Not clear. I only know they're an organization that was established in recent years. But their development is indeed quite fast, and there are many big shots in the organization who have caused a lot of trouble for the Order Heavenly Kingdom."
Just then, the Train's broadcast sounded.
The Train is about to depart. Please sit down and hold on tight.
Qi Xiao quickly picked up Li Xiucheng and carried him out of the Train.
The moment Qi Xiao left the Train, the door automatically closed. With a flash of white light, the Train vanished from its spot.
Never mind, he'd ask him again later. There were other things to do now.
After Qi Xiao threw Li Xiucheng back into the gravity carriage, he conveniently knocked him unconscious, then released Ren Laotaiye to guard him.
Next, Qi Xiao went to the second floor of Six Hotel's loop and brought out Li Zailong's head and Liu Xiaozhen's body together.
Along with Yin Jintai's body, Qi Xiao put them all into separate large black bags and froze them in the refrigerated carriage.
When they reached You'erdan, he would exchange them for bounties.
After all that, Qi Xiao washed his hands and went to Xi Jian's bedroom.
Li Huizi was lying on the bed, leaning against a pillow, eating brown sugar steamed eggs that Xi Jian had made for her.
When she saw Qi Xiao enter, she quickly put down her bowl, got up, and thanked Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao waved his hand, signaling her to finish eating first.
He looked at Xi Jian.
"You made this? Can this stuff even taste good?"
"What, do you want some too? I'll ask Hui Hui to save you a bite."
"Forget it, I don't like sweet steamed eggs."
After speaking, Qi Xiao pulled out Li Huizi's knife from his jie bracelet, which had been cut by Li Zailong's laser blade, and placed it on the edge of the bed.
"I picked it up for you. It doesn't look like it can be used anymore."
Then, Qi Xiao pulled out a black knife, which was Liu Xiaozhen's knife.
In that battle, she didn't even have time to draw her knife before Qi Xiao slit her throat and took her out of the game.
