Seeing the change in Wang Xiao’s expression, Lan Dahai instantly realized that something was wrong. Unfortunately, his reaction was still a moment too slow.

A white light flashed, and another piece of [Fine Copper Ore] appeared in Wang Xiao’s hand. As he dodged the blade, he raised his arm and smashed it towards Lan Dahai’s head!

This attack was too sudden. Lan Dahai’s expression changed. He subconsciously raised his arm to block, but he only managed to block Wang Xiao’s forearm. The ore landed on his temple firmly!

There was a muffled bang, and there was even the sound of bones shattering.

Lan Dahai’s eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground. Wang Xiao used his last bit of strength and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Looking at the pitch-black ceiling gradually blurring, Wang Xiao never felt more tired than now. Even though he tried to force himself to check on Lan Dahai’s condition, he could not help but fall into a deep sleep…

After an unknown period of time, Wang Xiao’s consciousness gradually returned. When he opened his eyes, he saw the pitch-black ceiling again. He was stunned for a few seconds before he finally remembered the serious matter.

“Lan Dahai!”

Wang Xiao jolted up. Just as he took out two copper ores and held them in his hand, he saw Lan Dahai lying motionless beside him.

Lan Dahai’s temple was badly mutilated. The blood that flowed out even formed a small pool of blood on the ground. However, the blood had not completely coagulated. It seemed that Wang Xiao had not been asleep for long.

…Could he be dead?”

A sense of foreboding welled up in Wang Xiao’s heart. He braced himself and stuck his finger under Lan Dahai’s nose. Although his breath was so weak that it was almost undetectable, he was still breathing.

He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Wang Xiao first took the large saber, but because his stamina had yet to recover, he could only drag the saber on the ground.

The sound of the blade scraping against the ground made Wang Xiao stop what he was doing in fear of waking Lan Dahai up.

Wang Xiao glanced at Lan Dahai. After confirming that he had no intention of waking up, he held the saber hilt again. With a thought, he stored it into his territory.

Although Wang Xiao did not have the habit of using weapons, this saber was clearly a high-level item. Even if he had no use for it, it would be good to sell it at the market.

Then, Wang Xiao searched Lan Dahai’s body again, but he only found metal with a strange shape and the length of a finger.

“This is… a key?”

Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously looked at the only two metal boxes in the warehouse. If his previous guess was correct, they should contain all of Lan Dahai’s assets or important information that was unfavorable to the Blue Planet.

No matter what, Wang Xiao felt that he needed to “examine” them.

After using his coat as a rope to tie Lan Dahai’s hands and feet, Wang Xiao propped himself up with his hands on the ground and dragged his exhausted body to the metal box. After looking at it for a while, his expression became strange.

He had seen these two metal boxes when he first came in. However, he had never had the chance to observe them carefully, so he only realized now that these two metal boxes were also lord items.

The reason why Wang Xiao had a strange expression was because the items could be stored in the territory. In other words, if he hadn’t fought with Lan Dahai, the other party would have taken the items and run away.

“I wonder if there are any more such boxes in his territory?”

Wang Xiao looked at the unconscious Lan Dahai, then used the key to open one of the metal boxes.

The lid of the box was lifted, and countless neatly arranged scrolls came into view. Wang Xiao casually picked one up and unfolded it, only to find that it was filled with numbers. Then, he casually opened a few more scrolls, and they were all the same.

“This isn’t his account book, is it?”

Wang Xiao frowned slightly and muttered, but on second thought, he felt that it was unlikely.

There were about 300 scrolls in this box, and there were about 100 sets of six-digit numbers in each scroll.

If it was a monthly accounting, there were at least 2,000 years of accounts here. However, if it was a daily accounting, the revenue of six figures a day would probably be more than the Lord’s Shop. Lan Dahai’s broker business should not have reached this level.

“But what if it’s not the accounts?”

Wang Xiao muttered as he took out a few scrolls from the bottom of the box. After opening them, he found that there were still numbers inside, so he completely lost interest in the box.

After putting the scroll back in its original position, Wang Xiao opened the second metal box. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the contents of the box.

It was actually more than half a box of purple resource balls!

At a rough glance, there were also about 300 purple resource balls, which was almost half of the monthly stock of the Lord’s Shop.

Wang Xiao’s eyes shone with golden light as he picked one up. Just as he sank his consciousness into it, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled up— there was 10 million star coins in it!

“One ball is ten million. Three hundred balls would total to three billion… I’m rich!”

Wang Xiao cheered ecstatically. He felt that even the fatigue in his body had been swept away. This should be all the family assets that Lan Dahai had accumulated over the years. Now, he gained all of it!

Although it was not enough to settle the bill for the upgrade resources, if he gave the three billion to Lin Xiang, the success rate of Wang Xiao’s “mortgage plan” would greatly increase!

However, the ecstasy only lasted for a few seconds. Soon, Wang Xiao thought of another realistic problem.

Lan Dahai was not dead yet. He would definitely be arrested by the military in the end, and these two metal boxes were his personal items. There was a high chance that they would be confiscated by the military.

Wang Xiao was not interested in the box of scrolls, but he was very jealous of the box of star coins. Even if he took the money away now, Lan Dahai would tell him that he had three billion star coins, and the military would most likely come to him for it.

Looking at Lan Dahai, who was lying motionless on the ground, Wang Xiao suddenly had a dark thought in his mind—kill him to silence him.

Lan Dahai was already on the verge of death. One more blow to his head and he would be able to explain that he had accidentally killed him in the battle.

As long as Lan Dahai died, no one would know about the three billion star coins. Although Wang Xiao did not know the meaning behind the box of scrolls filled with numbers, it was enough to explain why Lan Dahai came here.

In just an instant, Wang Xiao sorted out the logic in his heart. As long as he could deal with it when the military arrived, the success rate of silently making a fortune was almost 90%!

However, looking at the motionless Lan Dahai, Wang Xiao suddenly started to hesitate.

Previously, he had blocked the road and robbed others in the competition because he wanted to obtain as many resources as possible. Now, he was thinking of killing and robbing.

Although both actions would result in profits, there was an essential difference between these two methods..
