?Chapter 1259: 404. Betray friends for profit_3


    Bitter Gourd Juice was brought into the control room by a professional yer with a figure towering and formidable and a slight sneer.


    Seeing the professionals’ expressions, they must have known about Bitter Gourd Juice’s betrayal.


    Such double-dealing, even screwing over one’s own team, was sure to end badly—a consensus among all professional yers in the gaming circle.


    Hence, from the moment Bitter Gourd Juice boarded the ship, not one person gave him a warm wee.


    Even the sponsor, Golden Dragon in the Sky, after extracting the mission location from Bitter Gourd Juice, had him locked in a ship cabin without the slightest desire for further conversation.


    “Boss, that kid is really spineless,” a yer who seemed quite chummy with Golden Dragon in the Sky couldn’t help but deride. <div>


    ...


    Golden Dragon in the Sky had a prosperous look, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a slightly plump figure, and a bit of a belly, clearly not having used the game’s facial customization feature to make himself look like a handsome man.


    He dismissed thement with a wave of his hand, saying, “Small fries have their difficulties, let’s not stoop to his level.”


    Golden Dragon in the Sky, with his hands on his hips, stood next to the main control desk in the control room, looking out at the flowing starlight and smiled contentedly,


    “The Cucumber Slice team really surprised me though. When I befriended them, I only thought they could help me solve puzzles, run errands, do tasks—I never imagined they’d actually unearth the legendary expansion plot. These are the kind of story seekers with strength that I like. As for someone like Bitter Gourd Juice, just toss him aside when he’s no longer useful.”


    “Oh, right.” Golden Dragon in the Sky turned his head to instruct, “Keep an eye on that kid, don’t let him contact others or log off.”


    The adjacent professional yer nodded,


    “Don’t worry, boss, I’ve got everything arranged, two of our brothers are watching him.”


    The ship’s quantum leap engine started, and through a blur of light and shadows, it raced into the quantum leap channel, speeding towards the mission location.


    …


    …


    At the same time as Bitter Gourd Juice made contact with Golden Dragon in the Sky, the battle in the underground treasure chamber continued.


    Just as Bitter Gourd Juice anticipated, his explosion hadpletely ruined thebat cabin’s cabin door.


    But!


    The Star Thief Engineer apanying the yers carried emergency filler material—sticized foam!


    As soon as the cabin door was destroyed, the Star Thieves, who had but one life to live, began urging the engineer to seal the door with the foam gun.


    The engineer took up the foam gun and aimed at the door frame.


    The grey-white foam gushed out, quickly filling the entire frame, and hardened into tough engineering stic in less than half a second.


    It was this makeshift engineering stic door that bought the yers precious time to regroup.


    “Captain… Bitter Gourd Juice is dead,” a yer sighed softly, obviously not realizing the explosion had been deliberate on Bitter Gourd Juice’s part.


    The others felt the same.


    Due to the chaotic battle, none surmised that Bitter Gourd Juice had intentionally caused the ident; they all attributed the disaster to the monsters outside thebat cabin.


    “Stop moping around! Buck up! Don’t let Bitter Gourd Juice’s death be in vain!”


    Cucumber Slice shouted, raising Firearms and unleashing a barrage:


    “Kill, kill, kill! Avenge Bitter Gourd Juice!”


    The yers’ morale surged, their roars echoing, their guns zing.


    “Kill, kill, kill!”
