Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 391: I Am Cleaner Xiao Leng, I've Been Demoted

"This round, the one who survived to the end and obtained the highest amount of money is No. 5, Xu Ernian.""Congratulations to the live stream players who bet on Xu Ernian;you will split this round's betting pool."

Just like the Far Neighbor live stream room, this I Want to Be the Treasure King live stream room also had a betting segment.

After announcing all of this.

The beautiful hostess continued in her sweet voice:

"This round of the game ends here. The live stream room will close in half an hour."

"Finally, a friendly reminder to all who watched this broadcast."

"Always be wary;an ordinary mountain hike you take without a second thought might actually be you stumbling into someone else's life-and-death game."

The screen vanished.

It switched back to the campsite at the peak of Qingfeng Mountain.

A camp of blood and wind.

Several male and female corpses lay there, lives of over twenty years, gone just like that.

It was like when Cao Cao taught his son, Cao Ang.

For a large tree to grow to such a size, it takes at least several decades, even a century.

But chopping it down takes, at most, half an hour.

In the half hour before the live stream closed, the most discussed topic was the lesson from this final round of the game: before claiming ultimate victory, one must be extremely careful not to let someone else steal the prize at the last moment.

That is to say, the constant changing of the dominant power was a bit like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, where rulers or warlords changed hands faster than anyone could keep up.

This served as a warning, or an inspiration, to everyone in the live stream room, almost unanimously.

Especially Bomb King, who shared his own case.

[It reminds me of back when I had just graduated. I entered my dad's company, starting from the bottom.]

[At that time, nobody knew I was the future heir of this company.]

[In the same department as me, there was a male intern who started at the same time.]

[That guy, I still remember him vividly to this day.]

[Back then, my skills were lacking. Going door-to-door to pitch to clients, I genuinely couldn't close a deal out of a hundred attempts. But heaven rewards the diligent. Finally, I secured a small project. However, the next day, when I was about to sign the contract...]

[It fell through again.]

[I was used to it by then and didn't think much of it. But I later found out that same male intern who started with me had snatched it away.]

[But it was just one deal;that was no big deal.]

[Then, there was also a female intern who started at the same time. She was very pretty, and many people were pursuing her. Not just our batch, but even old employees and some supervisors were chasing her.]

[I was almost successful in wooing her, it was practically in the bag. But in the end, that male intern snatched her away too.]

Middle-aged Uncle, after reading it, asked: [What happened afterwards? How did things turn out between you and those two?]

Bomb King: [Afterwards, my identity was exposed. That male intern started sucking up to me.]

[As for that female intern, she still hadn't broken up with that male intern.]

Fairy Sister: [See, there are still good girls in the world. Not all girls are vain and materialistic.]

Bomb King typed with a cold sneer: [You're wrong. Although she didn't break up, I had already won her over. Now she serves me every day, it's just that her boyfriend doesn't know.]

...

After Wang Qingzhao left Qingfeng Mountain.

A white coach bus stopped at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.

A group of people wearing identical black uniforms got off the bus.

After disembarking, they took various tools from the bus.

Once assembled at the mountain's base, they began ascending the mountain via the bluestone stairs.

It's unknown how much later, but these people finally reached the mountaintop.

"T-team leader, can we make a suggestion next time? Don't let these games be set in such insane locations all the time? A mountain over a thousand meters high... climbing this almost killed me. And it's so early in the morning too..."

Cleaner team member Xiao Leng, carrying equipment on his back, climbed the mountain as if on a forced march.

After reaching the top, he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Even though he wasn't a desk cleaner and exercised daily, he couldn't handle this kind of ordeal.

The team leader he mentioned wasn't faring much better.

Panting heavily, bent over, large drops of clear, viscous saliva dripped from his mouth onto the dirt ground.

"M-make a suggestion? Y-you think my rank is that high?"

This team leader and Xiao Leng were the very same two who, back on Macedonia Island.

Had disposed of the bodies of Jiang Ran, Xiao Q, and the others.

Of course, it wasn't just them;the team member who drove the yacht back then was also here.

The three of them were originally cleaners working domestically.

Because of good performance, they were transferred to Macedonia Island to work as cleaners. However, due to their failure in properly disposing of Jiang Ran's body—not even being able to determine whether the lab rat was truly dead or not.

Consequently, these three unlucky fellows were demoted from Macedonia Island back to domestic duty.

This time, wanting to return to Macedonia Island would be exceedingly difficult.

There were several cleaner squads present on site.

Overseeing these cleaners, with a rank above squad leader, was a platoon leader.

The platoon leader for Xiao Leng's current operation was a middle-aged man who smoked cigars.

Xiao Leng was quite afraid of this platoon leader because he seemed very aloof, not easy to talk to.

Moreover, he was quite tall and imposing, giving off a strong sense of pressure.

Shortly after Xiao Leng and the other vanguard members reached the summit and had rested for only a few minutes, under the platoon leader's orders, they followed their respective squad leaders to the areas needing corpse retrieval and cleanup.

Xiao Leng's squad was not assigned to the campsite. Instead, they were assigned to retrieve the body of a university student named Wang De, who was buried underground.

Meanwhile, at the campsite area.

Two cleaner team members arrived first.

These two cleaners, one was young, in his twenties, the other older, in his thirties.

After arriving first, they walked around the perimeter of the campsite.

Afterwards, the two approached the corpses of Song Qingqing and Liu Sha.

The one in his twenties, seeing both were beautiful women, couldn't help but sigh mournfully: "What a pity, what a pity."

"I don't get it either. Being so beautiful, why choose to participate in this kind of game? Even if you can't find a rich man, couldn't you find a man with decent financial conditions to support you?"

The cleaner team member in his thirties said: "People are different. Some like to find wealthy people, but others prefer to be self-reliant. I admire these two beauties' self-reliance, but the prerequisite for self-reliance is that life is more important than money. That's the truth."

"Alright, hurry up and get the stuff. Otherwise, when others arrive, it won't be easy to handle."

The two cleaner team members now began rummaging through the pants pockets of the male and female corpses at the campsite, as well as their luggage and tents.

Looking for phones and other valuables.

They often did this, profiting from the dead, making a windfall.

They particularly liked people who used Fruit Phones because Fruit Phones held their value well, and second-hand ones could still fetch a pretty good price.

Of course, after taking these people's phones, they would also place some pre-prepared phones back in the original spots as replacements.
