The night wind howled, sweeping up the gravel on the ground and making a rustling sound.
Qin Feng's hand remained suspended in mid-air, making the scene somewhat awkward for a moment.
To be honest, a person like Qin Feng wasn't stupid.
After having his eyes cleared by Old Ghost Li's slap, he quickly realized his situation and immediately played along, using a scene of a shattered Dao heart to reduce his presence to a minimum.
Su Ji even felt that if his own performance hadn't been so "outstanding" today, this guy probably could have kept acting.
But he watched helplessly as Su Ji was pulled away for a talk by Zhao Tianyang, and then taken by Zhang Kui to eat and drink well.
Qin Feng's plan was disrupted.
Therefore, the first thing he said was that Su Ji was "showing off his abilities."
This seemed to be a reminder, but in fact...
Everything fears comparison with peers.
If he didn't act soon, once Su Ji completely integrated into Zhang Kui's little circle, he would only be an outsider.
So, he couldn't hold back anymore.
He had to pull him out for a secret talk today, even at the risk of exposure.
Or rather, he was afraid that by the time he got new intelligence, there would be no possibility of cooperation between the two of them.
He was forced into this by Su Ji, having to expose himself ahead of time.
"Senior Brother, this person seems a bit anxious, eagerly looking for someone to cooperate with on the very first night."
Even Su Jiu could see it.
Su Ji said "hmm" in his heart, but his face remained impassive.
He looked at Qin Feng's eyes, which were still overly bright in the darkness, and finally reacted.
He didn't go to shake that hand.
Instead, he took a step forward, patted Qin Feng's shoulder, and lowered his voice with a tone of "brother, you know what's up."
"Brother Qin, I understand what you mean."
Hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes lit up instantly.
He knew it, there was no need for too much nonsense between geniuses!
Su Ji continued to speak in that mysterious tone.
"However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be explained in a few words."
"We are newcomers and are not yet familiar with everything here. Acting rashly will only lead to a dead end."
"How about this," Su Ji whispered in his ear, "you continue to play the role of the trash with a shattered Dao heart to numb them."
"As for me, I will continue to be my mining prodigy and find a way to build a good relationship with Zhang Kui and Zhao Tianyang's gang to probe their backgrounds."
"This way, I will be in the spotlight, and you will be in the dark."
"We will be one in the light, one in the dark."
"There are some things that are not suitable for me to come forward to solve, you go and do it. There is some intelligence you can't get, I will share it."
"When the time is ripe, we will coordinate from the inside and outside, and great things will surely be accomplished!"
Qin Feng nodded repeatedly as he listened, the look of appreciation on his face growing stronger.
He knew he hadn't misjudged the person!
This Brother Su in front of him not only had unfathomable strength, but this intellect and strategy were far beyond what ordinary geniuses could compare to!
"Good!" Qin Feng patted Su Ji's shoulder heavily, the flames of "hope" burning in his eyes, "We will do as Brother Su says!"
"Then... are we considered allies now?" Qin Feng asked tentatively.
Su Ji grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, the smile looking exceptionally sincere in the darkness.
"Of course."
Receiving an affirmative answer, Qin Feng let out a long breath, feeling that the gloom that had been pressing on his heart for days had dissipated quite a bit.
"Then Brother Su, as an ally, what intelligence did you gain from Old Man Zhao and Zhang Kui today that you can share with me?"
Su Ji also nodded: "Alright, consider it a pledge of allegiance!"
"Old Man Zhao didn't reveal any intelligence to me."
"Because I didn't react as quickly as Brother Qin to figure out my position and hide myself in the first instance, Old Man Zhao saw that I was a troublemaker, and he called me over to warn me not to cause trouble casually."
Qin Feng also nodded upon hearing this.
He believed this.
After all, not everyone could realize their situation in the first instance like he did.
This Brother Su had probably been too used to smooth sailing in the lower realm.
He wasn't used to acting yet.
Or rather, having been invincible for too long, he had forgotten how to act.
He had even forgotten the principle that the bird that sticks its head out gets shot.
Mining a thousand catties on the first day was too conspicuous...
Sigh, couldn't he just hover around the passing mark like him?
It made him have to reset his plan.
Qin Feng had already labeled Su Ji as "eager for quick success" in his heart.
But on his face, he appropriately revealed a touch of relief and approval for his "ally."
"As for Zhang Kui..." Su Ji pondered for a moment, as if organizing his words, but actually recalling the script he had just made up, "Old Man Zhao asked me to spare two hundred catties of black-patterned iron for him, and in his joy, he treated me to a meal of meat."
"Meat?" Qin Feng's brows instantly raised, acutely catching this keyword.
"Yes, meat."
Su Ji's gaze faintly fell on the cold spirit-locking ring on Qin Feng's wrist.
Then, he lowered his voice extremely low, almost so only the two of them could hear.
"That meat... can resist the weakening effect brought by the spirit-locking ring."
"In other words, if we can't get meat for a long time, the skills we have cultivated with such difficulty will probably end up serving others."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Feng's sharp eyes in the darkness suddenly lit up!
He had just asked casually, not expecting to get such important information!
This intelligence was very valuable!
It meant that as long as he could get meat, he could to some extent maintain his strength and not be completely drained by this damn spirit-locking ring!
Su Ji ignored the change in Qin Feng's expression and continued to speak on his own.
"And according to my observation, those ten catties of black-patterned iron are just the most basic requirement to exchange for the black mushy food."
"The extra part can be put on an account, and can even be exchanged for things like meat and spirit wine."
"Originally, I wanted to inquire about some information today, for example, I felt Old Man Zhao was a bit strange, but I was warned by Zhang Kui that I was talking too much, and this was not something I could ask about."
As Su Ji said this, a look of appropriate annoyance and lingering fear appeared on his face.
Hearing this, Qin Feng not only did not doubt, but increasingly felt that Su Ji was "worth befriending."
After all, not everyone had his quick wit to think of countermeasures and hide themselves in the first instance.
This Su Ji being able to change his moves temporarily and try to integrate into the miners' circle was not bad either.
But obviously, he was too used to smooth sailing in the lower realm and wasn't used to acting yet.
He had even forgotten the principle that the bird that sticks its head out gets shot.
Mining a thousand catties of ore on the first day was truly too conspicuous.
Sigh, couldn't he be like him, first hovering around the passing mark and observing the situation for a few days before acting?
It made his original plan have to be reset.
Seeing the expression on Qin Feng's face, Su Ji was overjoyed in his heart, but his mouth continued to throw out bait.
"I feel that the key to breaking our situation is that Old Man Zhao."
"He doesn't have a spirit-locking ring on his hand, and he is a Soul Formation cultivator."
Su Ji paused intentionally at this point, looking at Qin Feng with a highly suggestive gaze.
"A Soul Formation cultivator, Brother Qin. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Of course he understood!
Why would a mighty Soul Formation expert willingly serve as a mere overseer in a place like this?
That in itself was the greatest source of suspicion!
Either he was forced against his will, or... he had ulterior motives!
"Since I just arrived today, managing to gather this much information is already pretty good. I don't have anything else." Su Ji spread his hands, putting on a sincere expression that seemed to say, I have told you absolutely everything.
"However, that guy Zhang Kui secretly hinted to me that if I can spare another two hundred pounds of iron for him to trade for wine tomorrow, he wouldn't mind revealing a few more details."
Listening to Su Ji's bombardment of intelligence, Qin Feng felt his previously deadened heart reignite with burning passion.
He felt as if he could already see a broad, open road leading straight to freedom!
And Su Ji was the most crucial link on this path!
"Then I will have to trouble Brother Su tomorrow." Qin Feng's tone carried a newfound solemnity.
However, Su Ji simply shook his head.
He let out a long sigh, a look of helplessness washing over his face.
"It won't be that fast."
Qin Feng froze for a moment, then feigned surprise. "Brother Su, why do you say that?"
"Alas..." Su Ji sighed once more.
"Brother Qin, both you and I were figures of absolute authority in the lower realm. Naturally, we have our methods."
"To say that we are completely devoid of any special skills would definitely be a lie."
Qin Feng nodded in deep agreement at these words.
Chosen geniuses naturally possessed the trump cards of chosen geniuses.
"But secret techniques... how can they be used so frequently?" A bitter smile surfaced on Su Ji's face.
