"The Spiritual Energy in this damn small world is truly scarce, truly scarce!"

In the luxurious room, Song Shuying roared lowly as he forcefully smashed a glass cup beside him into pieces.

Previously, even though he had drawn a tie with Xiaobei, he was still filled with resentment towards Xiaobei.

In his opinion, he should have been invincible in such a trashy little world...

But because of Xiaobei, he couldn't achieve that.

He couldn't accept it, absolutely couldn't!

That's why he wanted to quickly restore his strength to severely thrash Xiaobei.

He knew that only by defeating Xiaobei could he eliminate the Heart Demon inside him, otherwise, he would live in Xiaobei's shadow for the rest of his life.

After returning, he began frantically absorbing Spiritual Energy to recover!

At this point, he realized restoring his strength was truly difficult because the Spiritual Energy in this world was incredibly inadequate.

"Relying solely on Spiritual Energy, it'll take several months, even a year, to completely recover! I simply don't have that much time to waste here, so hopefully, those three fools can really prepare everything on the list for me! That way, I can increase my recovery speed several times over!"

Indeed!

Song Shuying was planning to resort to external forces!

He knew that leveraging external forces could truly accelerate the recovery speed.

By that time, he could make Xiaobei suffer miserably...

...

"Hmm? Someone's coming? Could they have found all the things I need?"

Hearing the approaching footsteps, a bright light flashed in Song Shuying's eyes.

If they really brought what he needed, things would really become much easier!

Anticipating this, the door was suddenly pushed open...

As he saw the three of them approaching aggressively, a bad premonition surged in Song Shuying's heart!

"It doesn't look like it's good news!"

Thinking of this, Song Shuying glanced at them and hoarsely said, "Tell me, what's the urgent matter that made you come here in such a rush? I'll tell you now; this had better be something I'm interested in, or else you'll pay the price!"

At that moment, Song Shuying was extremely displeased!

Honestly, if they had found what he needed and rushed over like this, it would be fine.

But it seemed they hadn't found what he needed, in which case, they really had no reason to rush over like this!

Hearing Song Shuying's deep opening, the three of them knew Song Shuying was extremely, extremely upset!

However, they didn't care about that but directly said coldly, "Cut the crap; tell us exactly how many things you need? You want a hundred-year-old ginseng in a hundred units? Are you playing us?"

"Exactly!"

"Where are we supposed to find that many?"

Hearing Feng Dabing's words, Sun Yanshui and Li Fengyun also spoke out without hesitation...

At this moment, they really felt Song Shuying was playing them...

Hearing their complaints, Song Shuying frowned!

At this instant, Song Shuying realized the problem — that this small world's resources were relatively scarce.

Frowning, Song Shuying compromised and said in a low voice, "Since you can't find a hundred, then find as many as you can!"

"Find as many as we can? Easy for you to say; do you know their value?"

"Right!"

Hearing such defensive words, Song Shuying snorted coldly, and with his snort, the temperature in the entire room dropped significantly.

"Don't forget your positions; it's you who are asking me to do something, not me asking you!"

Hearing Song Shuying's cold questioning, they weren't afraid but argued back reasonably, "Indeed, we are asking you, but there is a limit to everything. We now feel that we have given too much, it's not worth it!"

"Right, let's end this here!"

After saying this, they turned and walked away!

Not worth it!

They felt that finding those things for him was too costly now, and even after finding them, there was no guarantee he would win, so it was really unnecessary to do so!

After all, doing a losing business made no sense!

Seeing them decisively preparing to leave, Song Shuying's eye twitched!

"Damn it, if it weren't for having to rely on you, for speaking to me like this, I would have erased you already!"

Muttering this to himself, Song Shuying restrained himself and softly said, "I know those things aren't easy to find for you. So, just do your best, and I'll figure out the rest myself."

They stopped in their tracks, about seven or eight meters out!

"Are you telling the truth?"

Nodding vigorously, Song Shuying hoarsely said, "Yes, it's true!"

"Alright, then we'll prepare them now, but the quantity and quality might not be very good, so be prepared for that."

"Fine!"

With that said, he watched the three of them leave!

Once they were completely out of sight, Song Shuying let out a low roar and smashed another cup fiercely!

"Just wait; when everything is over, I'll definitely settle the accounts with you!"

After saying this darkly, he expressionlessly pulled out a packet of silver needles.

After a careful look, he hoarsely muttered with complexity, "Bloodletting with silver needles can temporarily restore my power, but the cost is too great. Wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer!"

Thinking about the terrifying consequences made him not want to reach that point!

So, he still hoped they could find him some good medicinal materials to accelerate his recovery…

Having cleared his thoughts, he put away the silver needles and sat down expressionlessly once again…

Outside...

The three of them didn't rush to collect those things but gathered together again!

"Chairman Feng, what are we going to do now?"

"Exactly!"

Feng Dabing glanced at them and said deeply, "Now, we keep collecting for him! We all resent Xiaobei, so we must continue this cooperation."

Thinking for a bit, Feng Dabing decided not to tear up the partnership for now.

Because tearing it up would only delight Xiaobei more…

"We understand!"

Nodding, the two of them walked out to prepare to collect some herbal materials…

Of course, the quality would be slightly poorer…

As they left, Xiaobei arrived alone in the depths of the Red Maple Forest.

He intended to stroll around here…

Honestly, he had planned to invite Song Yaling along, but Song Yaling said she still had to check the accounts, so he had no choice but to come alone...

Xiaobei came here partly to have a good look around and partly to see if he could find an opportunity to break through his current bottleneck.

Xiaobei had a feeling that if he could break through this bottleneck, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

"As long as I can make a breakthrough, even if Song Shuying returns, it won't be any problem then!"

With this thought, Xiaobei continued to walk into the forest, and five minutes later, he squinted his eyes, observing ahead that there was a not-so-large spring, from which clear spring water was gushing out...
