In this kind of world, it is reasonable for a young girl running a store to take some defensive measures.

Xiao Qi took a quick look at the items in the store and finally stopped his eyes on a lollipop. Apart from that, most of the items were basic ingredients for cooking such as rice, flour, grain and oil. The prices were a bit high, so Xiao Qi didn't plan to buy any.

The price of the lollipop was one yuan, and there were only a few left in the whole jar. Xiao Qi bought all the rest, three in total, and opened one to give to the little girl, while asking her about the situation in the city.

Unexpectedly, when he just opened the wrapping paper, there was an exaggerated word "You won the prize" written on it, which made Xiao Qi slightly stunned.

The little girl next to him lost her composure after seeing this. A look of surprise appeared on her somewhat impatient and numb face. She stared at Xiao Qi expectantly, and her purpose was very obvious.

"Sister... can you give this to me? My family and I are really starving to death. We just need this one in your hand, and then we can leave here and go to the food city together. Otherwise... otherwise, mom will definitely take my brother away and leave me here alone. I really don’t know how to survive..."

The little girl burst into tears soon after she burst into tears. Xiao Qi looked at the candy wrapper in his hand in astonishment. He didn't expect that this was also a ticket to enter the food city? Did the food city also have such a promotion?

"Of course I have no problem giving you the ticket, but you have to answer a few questions from me. If you can answer them all correctly, the ticket will be yours."

The little girl looked at Xiao Qi pitifully and nodded.

"Do you know where the heart of steel is? It's a flower whose branches and flowers are all made of steel. Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it...! It's on top of the biggest trading house in the center of the city. There are a lot of people there, and they don't allow anyone to touch the flower..."

"Why don't they allow people to touch the flower? Is it because if the flower is picked, something bad will happen to the city?"

"I don't know... I heard that someone thought it was beautiful, so they took it for themselves..."

It seemed that there was nothing else he could get from the little girl, so Xiao Qi asked about the specific location of the trading house and then gave her the ticket and candy.

The sporadic lights that Xiao Qi saw before entering the city were from the trading house. It seemed that the place still maintained its original appearance, but at this point, what was worth auctioning? People couldn't even eat, let alone buy anything.

The auction house looked particularly grand and majestic, and there were many people stationed outside. Xiao Qi didn't pay attention to it. He just looked up to observe the things on the trading floor and soon found the Heart of Steel.

It is standing at the top of the trading floor at this moment, next to the logo representing the Steel City. It is golden all over and its material can be seen, but it is definitely not an ordinary thing.

His stealth skills were enough to allow him to fly over and grab the flower. Just as Xiao Qi was about to move, he was suddenly stopped by a voice at the side.

"You're crazy! Without Ironheart, this city will only become more terrible."

Xiao Qi turned around and saw Bo Mu standing beside her with his arms folded, staring at her with interest.

"...You've also reached this point in the plot?"

"What plot? I just don't like sweets, so I came out to see what's going on outside. I just had to talk to the guys in line and I knew there was a city here. It took me nearly a day to walk this distance, which was really troublesome. However, I know a lot about it now. What plot did you just mention? Did you find the main quest of the dungeon again? It's ridiculous. You find it every time. Isn't this too weird?"

While sighing, Bo Mu was sending signals to her, and his meaning was very clear: he knew a lot, and if she wanted to know, just ask.

"Your idea is quite unique... Why can't we take the Heart of Iron?"

"Every city in this world is protected by a mysterious power. This power was originally hidden deep underground, but later it somehow transformed into various hearts and appeared in the city. Without this power, the city is no longer protected. Look at the situation outside, not a blade of grass grows. This city has not disappeared because the power in the Heart of Steel has protected the land from being eroded. It's okay here, and not many crops are grown. But some other agricultural cities will become wastelands without protection, and nothing will grow there. Even people will get sick and die for no apparent reason..."

Bo Mu actually knew so much. Xiao Qi looked at her and nodded after finally making sure that she was not lying.

"But I really need this thing. Is there no other way to keep this city alive? I must get the Heart of Iron."

Seeing Xiao Qi so determined, Bo Mu guessed that he must have a main mission to complete.

"Yes, there is a way. I have a card that can copy anything, but... it's very valuable. After all, things like the third-level treasure chest can be copied, so I have never been willing to use it. If you want it, what's the price?"

As expected of a famous person on the wealth rankings, he actually has such magical props.

If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to give the precious copy card to others. If I had to, I would have to give them a big rip-off.

What would I have to give in exchange for her to be satisfied? Not to mention that I didn't have anything with me, even if I did, there would probably be very few things that would catch her eye.

"You know, you can only take five items into this dungeon. I don't have much on me. If you want something, I can trade it to you after I go back. I will try my best to satisfy your needs."

Bo Mu seemed to know that Xiao Qi would answer like this, and he showed a somewhat inexplicable smile, which made Xiao Qi shudder and frown.

"My combat power is relatively weak, so I hope to be able to come to your place during the third zombie tide. You are responsible for protecting my safety. Besides that, don't forget the team-up we agreed on before."

Xiao Qi thought she was going to ask for a huge sum of money, but he didn't expect it was just such a small matter. Xiao Qi, who was originally particularly resistant to teaming up with others, had readily accepted the idea that there is strength in numbers after resisting the tide of zombies with Zhuang Jing, and simply nodded.

"No problem, but I can't guarantee that I can resist the high-level zombies. You have to be mentally prepared for this."

"If the top three players can't resist, I'm afraid this game will end here."

"Then it's settled."

Bo Mu still took out the copy card generously without saying much.

Xiao Qi quite likes Bo Mu's straightforward personality. Although she always makes conditions, she sticks to her word and will not be coy or change her mind at the last minute.

After getting the copy card, Xiao Qi quickly used his skills to successfully copy the Heart of Steel. The cool steel flower looked particularly beautiful in his hand. It was said that this flower was exactly the same as the original one, both in appearance and function. There was inexplicably an extra Heart of Steel in this world.

It was getting late, Bo Mu invited Xiao Qi to go to the pub for a drink, she would treat them, and they would go back tomorrow after resting. But Xiao Qi insisted on going back today, Bo Mu had no choice but to let her go by herself.

"Aren't you planning on going back? At least you can get enough food at the food court. If you stay here, you'll have to worry about being robbed."

"You care about me so much?"

Xiao Qi's eyebrows twitched. He didn't quite understand what she meant and nodded silently.

"After all, you were my only reserve teammate. It's a pity that you died like this."

"I have to pay for three tickets when I get back, and I don't have anywhere to get them. Can you lend them to me?"

"I don't have that much money. But...if you're willing to pay for some interesting special props, I can consider it."

Bo Mu secretly felt that Xiao Qi was really a profiteer and spread his hands.

"Well, it seems like getting anything from you is simply a fantasy. Never mind, I have my own ticket, which I got by paying a lot of money. Let's go back together. It's not safe to travel alone at night."

Xiao Qi took out the Enderman car and raised his eyebrows at Bo Mu.

"boarding."

Is it safe or not...there is really no need to worry. Bo Mu was slightly stunned and almost forgot that there was also an End of the World Car among the top three cars. He jumped into the car without hesitation.
