Chapter 132 Battle Makes Me Happy 14
Seeing that things had come to this, Qiu Tong couldn't keep up the act any longer, but what she said was completely different from the truth.
"Since you've already seen through me, I'll just say it straight. I was sent by the nightclub next door that's really popular. Your place has been taking away a lot of business from our boss lately, so she sent me here to check things out. I just happened to run into a manager and a group of people coming here, so I secretly followed them."
In any case, Qiu Tong kept quiet about being a Chinese soldier. She had been here twice and had observed what kind of shops were nearby and how their businesses were doing. Now she could use that as an excuse.
One of the women asked suspiciously, "We know exactly who's in the shop next door, but we've never seen you before."
Qiu Tong lied without hesitation: "I just said I'm new here, I wasn't lying to you, but I'm a new employee at the store next door."
The boss was afraid that if he sent a familiar employee, you would see through his deception immediately, so he specially sent me, who was on my first day of work.
The advantage of sending me here is that as long as she denies it to the death, even if it doesn't actually happen to her, I was forced into this situation.
The man who was pushed down persisted: "Then confess honestly now, aren't you afraid of being punished by your boss when you get back? I still think you're very suspicious."
Qiu Tong couldn't help but roll her eyes. "The boss pushed me out to do all this crap, why should I cover for her?"
Anyway, it's my first day at work. I can just quit when I get back. Why should I take the blame for my first day at work?
Wei Junchuan and the two men watched the women argue the whole time, unsure whether they believed Qiu Tong's story.
It wasn't until Wei Junchuan spoke up: "Since that's the case, you can leave now. I won't make things difficult for you. I'll pretend you were never here today."
Qiu Tong looked delighted, but felt regretful inside; the rare opportunity to find out more had just slipped away.
However, she dared not stay here any longer. This time she had already learned a lot of things beyond her knowledge. Even if she did not continue to inquire, she could roughly guess the empire's subsequent plans.
As she turned to leave, a sudden gust of cold wind swept up from behind her. Qiu Tong instinctively dodged and retaliated.
Qiu Tong quickly dodged to the other side. The attacker's fist grazed her ear. After dodging, Qiu Tong immediately crouched down and extended a leg from her slit skirt to perform a spinning side kick to the attacker's lower body. The person behind her nimbly dodged Qiu Tong's kick.
As Qiu Tong was propelled by inertia, she spun half a circle on the ground, turned around, and faced the attacker face to face.
Wei Junchuan pointed a laser pistol at Qiu Tong, his cold voice rang out: "Who exactly are you? Why did you infiltrate this place?"
Qiu Tong hadn't expected her opponent to be so cunning, actually attacking her when she was off guard. Her opponent hadn't believed her story from the very beginning.
Qiu Tong calmly pulled her bare legs back and stood up, completely ignoring the laser gun pointed at her.
Wei Junchuan couldn't stand her arrogant attitude, so he fired several shots in quick succession without giving her a chance to catch her breath.
Qiu Tong quickly dodged, but one of the shots still hit her shoulder, almost killing her on the spot from the pain.
This time, Qiu Tong was too arrogant, thinking that having experienced the previous planes, her physical reaction ability would definitely help her easily dodge these gun attacks.
She may have forgotten that each body she entered had different physical conditions, so generalizations cannot be made.
The original body's physical abilities were already poor, and Qiu Tong had only been in this plane for a short time, so it was impossible for her to improve the physical abilities of this body in such a short period of time.
Whether it was because her body couldn't tolerate it or because she hadn't been injured in a long time, the wound from the laser gun was so painful that she could hardly bear it.
When the blood splattered, all the women at the scene screamed and scrambled to find places to hide nearby.
They quickly occupied any hiding place they could find, whether it was behind the sofa or on the floor between the sofa and the table. It seemed they had been through a lot of these things to be so well-trained in finding hiding places so quickly.
Wei Junchuan couldn't stand their screams and frowned, but he still kept shooting the laser pistol at Qiu Tong.
Aside from one shot hitting her, Qiu Tong narrowly dodged all the other attacks, suffering several cuts on her hands and feet from the bullets grazing her skin.
As Qiu Tong dodged, she decisively kicked off her obstructive high heels, which made her movements more agile.
High heels can be used as weapons; kicking them towards Wei Junchuan can also buy Qiu Tong a few seconds to escape.
She dodged and moved toward the door, but Wei Junchuan seemed to know she was going to leave and kept blocking her way with his laser pistol.
The noise inside the private room had already alerted the people outside. When they opened the door, before they could even ask what had happened, Qiu Tong knocked them down.
When the door opened, Wei Junchuan's shooting paused for a moment, and Qiu Tong took advantage of that pause to quickly move to the door.
She was already very close to the door, but Wei Junchuan's shooting had been blocking her way. Now that someone had opened the door from the outside, it saved her a lot of trouble.
While Wei Junchuan hesitated about whether to shoot, she quickly knocked down the person standing in front of the door, knocked aside the people blocking her way, and fled the scene.
The thugs from the underground casino tried to stop Qiu Tong, but she skillfully evaded them, using the crowds at the casino to escape her pursuers.
Once she started running, Qiu Tong realized just how weak her body was; she was already panting heavily after only a short distance.
The pain in her shoulder kept her from collapsing easily.
Once outside the basement, Qiu Tong took out a lock from her spatial storage and locked the basement entrance, buying herself some time to escape.
Upon entering, Qiu Tong noticed that the basement doors were all retro-style and had bolts on them. She quickly pulled out an old lock from her storage space and locked it.
This lock is from a previous dimension; it was left over when she changed the locks at her house. She forgot to throw it away then and had been storing it in her space ever since. Now it just so happens to come in handy.
Therefore, thrift is a virtue, and any little gadget might save her life someday.
Qiu Tong returned the way she came. Her consciousness was gradually fading. She had relied on Xiao Fu to help her find the way so that she didn't get lost or waste time.
It wasn't until they left the nightclub and followed Xiao Fu's instructions to a secluded dark alley that Qiu Tong collapsed from exhaustion.
She was still conscious at this point, and the pain in her shoulder prevented her from fainting.
After resting for a while, she took out a first-aid kit from her storage space and bandaged her wounds.
She was wearing an off-the-shoulder dress, so she could apply medicine and bandages directly without having to take it off.
While applying medicine and bandaging, she complained to Xiao Fu in her heart: "This seems to be the second time I've been injured since I came to these planes. The last time was when I was injured in the first plane. Why does the wound feel less painful than this one?"
I even felt that this wasn't a world adapted from a novel, but a real world. The pain of the wounds was so real that I couldn't imagine it as a virtual world.
She had just finished complaining to Xiao Fu when a 'ding' sounded in her mind again, and then that familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out once more.
"Congratulations, Ms. Qiu Tong, you have guessed part of the truth about the world. You are now rewarded with double the space and one random lottery draw. The reward has been issued, please check your account."
Ms. Qiutong, would you like to participate in the prize draw now, or save it for later?
Qiu Tong never expected that her unintentional complaint would actually lead her to guess the so-called truth of the world; this was truly an unexpected delight.
It's best to participate in the lottery as soon as possible; you might win something useful, like the cooking machine I won last time.
She doesn't even realize how much she disliked the cooking machine when she won it last time; she just really likes it now.
Upon hearing about the reward, Qiu Tong instantly felt less pain in her wound and her whole body perked up.
She declared with great confidence, "Draw it now."
Just like last time, the spinning wheel appeared in her mind. Qiu Tong even took a special look at the prizes on it, and they were exactly the same as the first time she saw them.
Her initial enthusiasm cooled instantly, and she listlessly controlled the turntable with her mind.
Practice makes perfect. She stopped the spinning wheel herself, drooping her eyelids as she glanced at the prize the pointer was pointing to.
This glance was incredible; she stared blankly at the prize the pointer was pointing to, not even noticing when the wheel disappeared.
She quickly snapped out of her daze, channeling her consciousness into the space, and stared blankly at the prize she had just received.
Xiao Fu couldn't understand why her master was reacting this way.
It thought that when its owner got this thing, they would be speechless with frustration, just like last time.
Xiao Fu's voice cautiously rang in Qiu Tong's mind: "Master, what do you think of the prize? Why are you staring at it so intently?"
"You wouldn't be so quick to judge this piece of junk, would you? Anyone would be put off by it." Qiu Tong said coldly, no longer wanting to waste her breath criticizing it.
Xiao Fu peeked at the 'prize' in the space, not understanding why her owner disliked it more than the cooking machine, even though it was so cute.
Xiao Fu was unaware that she had unconsciously muttered something aloud. Qiu Tong couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard it, and the phantom she conjured pointed at the thing on the ground.
"You're telling me it's cute? Can cuteness fill your stomach?"
