QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots-Chapter 351 - 11.24

Perhaps Jiang Jiamian’s tone carried too much irritation.

After that message, the group fell into silence once more.

I can’t think of a name and Sword Master didn’t dare interrupt.

The atmosphere became even more tense.

Time passed.

Then, a notification sounded.

Another message appeared.

Jiang Jiamian stared at the screen with a dark expression.

He had already made up his mind, no matter what the group leader said next, whether he was some powerful figure or not, he would tear him down completely.

Not only would he rip apart this arrogant, dog-shit group leader in the chat, he would also start a full-on cold war with his so-called split soul in this world.

Let them both understand what it meant to anger him.

But the moment his gaze settled on the new message, Jiang Jiamian froze.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

The latest message in the chat box was short.

Simple.

Yet powerful enough to overturn everything.

[Group Leader: Sorry, husband, I was wrong. @Lone Commander]

He said it.

Just like that.

Without warning.

[I can’t think of a name: What?! What’s going on?! Have I been staring too long? Are my eyes broken?!]

This time, he couldn’t hold back any longer, bursting out. Soon, even the Sword Master chimed in.

[Sword Master: Did the group leader send this to the wrong person? Hmm, it must be a mistake.]

Seeing the two lurkers finally appear, Jiang Jiamian still didn’t respond. The group leader, however, couldn’t hold back and added a few more words.

[Group Leader: I wasn’t avoiding you earlier. It’s just that your question involves sensitive aspects of the rules. I can’t reveal too much, it would only harm you. But if you discover it yourself, that’s different. I really can’t answer you. @Lone Commander]

After the initial shock, Jiang Jiamian quickly accepted the fact that the group leader had basically exposed himself in the chat.

[Lone Commander: If you can’t say it, just say so! Why pretend to be dead? And when you should stay quiet, you suddenly show up and act all high and mighty, telling me to revise my text? @Group Leader]

[Group Leader: I was wrong. I was really wrong. Let’s talk it out. Don’t be angry.]

After watching this short exchange, the only feeling I can’t think of a name and Sword Master had was: This development was... magical.

And they’d just been stuck watching them act all lovey-dovey.

The two of them didn’t dare interrupt. They could only stare at the screen in stunned silence, watching the drama unfold.

Since the group leader didn’t care about the two silent spectators, Jiang Jiamian became even more unrestrained, completely dropping any pretense of politeness.

[Lone Commander: Your attitude is so fickle!]

[Group Leader: To win a beauty’s smile, even death would be worth it, let alone a little ridicule.]

The synchronized absurdity of the two left the onlookers completely stunned.

Even Sword Master was too shocked to speak. He completely forgot what he was supposed to say.

After a long pause, only ’I can’t think of a name’ finally gathered the courage to interject weakly.

[I can’t think of a name: First, let me wish you two a long and happy marriage, ah, no, a long and happy life together! And... if you need anything, remember to contact me, you know what I mean, wink wink @Lone Commander].

That sentence instantly reminded Jiang Jiamian of something.

All those times he had asked Su Jinzhou for those little gift bottles... All those times he had bragged in the group about what he could do to ech mission target characters...

And now, if the group leader had been silently watching the whole time...

Jiang Jiamian’s face flushed bright red. It felt like the word embarrassment had been slapped directly across his face.

Damn it.

In the end, this was all the group leader’s fault!

Always hiding things. Always spying on others!

Concealing his identity and purpose, he was definitely not a good person!

Now he’d completely lost face in front of his two friends.

Filled with resentment, Jiang Jiamian seized the moment, taking advantage of the group leader’s softened attitude, and decided to flip the situation completely.

[Lone Commander: Want one? Or we can each take one, what do you say, wife? @Group Leader]

Group Leader: "..."

Was he courting death for the sake of saving face? Or was he just... courting death?

How could someone suddenly say something like ’one each’ just to recover a bit of dignity?

What if it really kicks in and Jiang Jiamian end up stuck in bed?

[Group Leader: Okay.]

The instant agreement made Jiang Jiamian’s heart skip a beat.

He had assumed the group leader wouldn’t accept being called wife.

Only then did he realize the real problem.

His expression stiffened.

He almost couldn’t laugh anymore.

He’d been careless.

But just as quickly, Jiang Jiamian relaxed again.

The one who knew about it was the group leader, the main soul behind figures like Shen Muzhou.

But Shen Muzhou himself didn’t have those memories.

Which meant as long as the split souls didn’t know, he wouldn’t actually have to take it out.

At that moment, ’I can’t think of a name’ jumped back in enthusiastically.

[I can’t think of a name: You two are generous! But let’s be clear, this isn’t free! Even if the group leader is a big shot, I’m just a small business owner. I can’t afford to give things away for free! Jiang Jiamian, you know I can offer credit, but not freebies! One or two bottles is fine, but large quantities? Absolutely not!]

This wasn’t the first time Jiang Jiamian had obtained medicine from him.

Most of the time, it was a fair exchange, goods for goods, or points.

Only occasionally would the other party give something away for free.

This time, before Jiang Jiamian could even respond, the group leader spoke first.

[Group Leader: That’s easy. We can trade items, points, even transfer teams, or upgrade privileges. Anything is fine. The only condition is, from now on, in every small world, you must supply the best... cough, aphrodisiacs you have.]

Jiang Jiamian: "..."

Damn it.

He really shot himself in the foot this time.

What’s wrong with this group leader?!

He was so high and mighty before, who would have thought he’d be this shameless?!

It’s all his fault for acting impulsively and misjudging his personality.

He never expected that this shameless guy, just to get medicine from ’I can’t think of a name’, would not only respond to that, but also generously buy out all the aphrodisiacs for the next few worlds!?

Damn it, what grudge does he have against him?!

Frustrated, Jiang Jiamian began typing sarcastically.

[Lone Commander: As expected of the group leader, a mysterious big boss-level figure. So generous, points, team transfer, level-ups, tsk tsk... Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were making some kind of historic deal! Who would’ve thought it was just for a few bottles of cough aphrodisiac?]

Group Leader: "..."

Is Jiang Jiamian jealous?

Could it be that he promised to let ’I can’t think of a name’ transfer teams and level up, but skipped over him and forgot the benefits he was supposed to receive? Was he unhappy about that?

Clearly, it wasn’t just the group leader who thought so. Even ’I can’t think of a name’ sensed that something was off in Jiang Jiamian’s words.

[I can’t think of a name: Hahaha, what points, what team transfer and leveling up? Jiang Jiamian, you know we’ve traded so many times, just give me the money!]

Help!

He just wanted to enjoy the show and sell some medicine!

These two shouldn’t drag him, a simple medicine seller, into this mess!

If only he hadn’t rushed in. Wouldn’t it have been better to stay aloof and keep a low profile, like Sword Master? Waaah... no, wait... sob sob...

Jiang Jiamian let out a soft chuckle. Noticing how cautious the other was, he offered him some comfort.

[Lone Commander: What are you thinking, my little darling? I wouldn’t be jealous of you. I’m just being a bit mean to a certain shameless group leader.]

He and Su Jinzhou weren’t just casual acquaintances in the same group. They had also completed missions in the same small world, met in person, and helped each other many times.

The Sword Master, Qing Hong, as well.

These two were his true companions in his journey through quick transmigration that prevented him from losing himself completely in the roles of each world.

They accompanied each other, occasionally bickered, and built an extraordinary friendship.

Jiang Jiamian would never allow a group leader’s generous promise to drive a wedge between them.

After all, what man is better than a best friend?
