As Jason and Joyce were recognized by the surrounding onlookers, a buzz of discussion erupted.

  "Isn't that Jason who killed those two black guys? I saw the video... what kind of special ability does he have?"

  "Look at the Flintlock Pistol in that girl's hand. Is that from the World Auction Channel? Holy crap, that's a weapon worth 9,000 Escape Coins."

  "It really is Jason and Joyce. They were the strongest two in our area in the last world. There have been rumors that they had a good relationship, and it seems those rumors are true."

  Most of the people present had some impression of Jason. After someone pointed it out, they naturally recognized him.

  He was the powerhouse who used special abilities to kill two black guys not long ago.

  The two men running the stall had already realized that Jason and his group were not to be trifled with when Ellie pulled out the Flintlock Pistol.

  Hearing the discussions of the crowd now only made their scalps tingle with regret.

  They had seen the video of the Shadow Doppelganger killing the two black guys and never expected that it was Jason's ability.

  They admitted they were no stronger than those two dead guys. Their first thought was to escape as quickly as possible, and they were already surreptitiously moving toward the armored vehicle behind them.

  "Where do you think you're going?" Jason asked in an icy tone.

  These two had tried to lure Ellie and the other two girls in front of him more than once. Jason wouldn't let them off easily. Although the two men were panicked, they forced themselves to remain calm and said with a smile, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. No wonder you looked down on the weapons on our stall. I won't embarrass myself by setting up a stall anymore."

  Jason's originally calm expression instantly darkened upon hearing this.

  These two were still trying to play tricks on him.

  Their words were clearly a trap, implying that Jason looked down on the weapons on their stall.

  By portraying themselves as a disadvantaged group, they were trying to make Jason out to be a powerful bully, undoubtedly trying to gain sympathy from the onlookers.

  Jason wouldn't fall for it and directly stated the key to the conflict: "You tried to seduce my women in front of me twice. You think you can just leave like that?"

  "Uh..." Henry's face changed. Seeing that Jason didn't intend to let him go, he secretly cursed.

  The surrounding onlookers remained silent, watching the scene unfold.

  This wasn't the old world. No one cared about right or wrong anymore. All anyone recognized was strength and benefits.

  Many people even turned on their recording functions, preparing to record Jason's ability.

  Henry gritted his teeth, staring at Jason, and considered whether to fight Jason to the death. But Jason's confident demeanor made him afraid to gamble on whether he could survive.

  In the end, Henry had to admit defeat. He didn't want to be killed by Jason like those two black guys.

  "I was wrong this time. What can I do to make you let us go?"

  Jason's lips curled slightly. He naturally didn't want to expose the abilities of his Shadow Doppelganger again in front of the crowd. The other party admitting defeat saved him a lot of trouble.

  Now was the time for Jason to demand compensation.

  Jason looked at the weapons and equipment written on the other party's stall in exchange for high-yield seeds and live poultry and livestock.

  He had originally only wanted to ask the other party if they had exchanged for high-yield seeds and live poultry and livestock, but he didn't expect it to develop into the current situation.

  "I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you can come up with high-yield seeds, live poultry and livestock, or blueprints that satisfy me, I can let you go," Jason said, stating his demands.

  Hearing this, Henry cursed Jason in his heart, knowing that he was being taken advantage of and had no choice but to calculate what to give Jason.

  He only had a few high-yield seeds in his hand, and not a single live poultry or livestock. Now, the only things he could offer that would satisfy Jason were blueprints.

  So, Henry opened the chat channel and contacted his followers in the armored vehicle.

  Soon, a blueprint appeared in Henry's hand.

  Henry felt a pang of reluctance in his heart but still threw the blueprint to Jason.

  Jason took it and his eyes lit up.

  Two-Handed Sword: 1-Star Melee Weapon, increases some damage when slashing.

  Blueprint Crafting Count: 1

  Crafting Requirement: 200 Escape Coins.

  Good stuff! It was actually a 1-Star melee weapon blueprint.

  With this blueprint, Jason's first thought was to sell swords to earn Escape Coins. The resulting income would definitely be no less than 1-Star combat boots.

  Jason calmly put away the blueprint and continued to look at Henry, saying, "Do you think I'm lacking a 1-Star equipment? Just this blueprint isn't enough."

  Although this blueprint was very valuable to Jason, it wasn't too big of a loss for Henry. Naturally, Jason would continue to extort him.

  Henry's expression turned ugly, and he despised Jason in his heart.

  If you don't think that blueprint is worth anything, then why did you pick it up? If you have the guts, then don't take it.

  However, the original synthesis count for the Two-Handed Sword blueprint was 3. After he synthesized it twice, it really wasn't worth much, not even as good as a 1-Star equipment.

  After all, synthesizing a Two-Handed Sword with that blueprint required 200 Escape Coins.

  He had to take out another blueprint to satisfy Jason.

  Henry's heart was bleeding as he continued to contact his followers in the vehicle.

  Soon, Henry had another blueprint in his hand.

  Vehicle Air Conditioner: 2-Star Vehicle Equipment, including a solar charging panel, can cool and heat to regulate the temperature inside the vehicle.

  Blueprint Crafting Count: 1

  Crafting Requirement: 2000 Escape Coins.

  Good stuff!

  When Jason saw this blueprint, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

  He was worried about not having a way to control the temperature in the Extreme Heat World, but it turned out that he had extorted it from Henry. This was too coincidental.

  In fact, there were also places where you can get vehicle air conditioners in the Extreme Heat World. But this blueprint was for a 2-Star Vehicle Air Conditioner, which was on the same level as the Large Bathroom and Large Kitchen.

  Its cooling and heating abilities would definitely be very powerful. In the future, he wouldn't have to worry about the temperature while hiding in the vehicle.

  Without thinking, this blueprint must have been obtained by Henry by opening a Bronze Chest on the first day. However, its synthesis required 2000 Escape Coins, which is why it hadn't been synthesized yet. Now, it was all going to benefit Jason.

  After getting the Vehicle Air Conditioner blueprint, Jason was actually satisfied. But Jason was certain that Henry's vehicle definitely had high-yield seeds or live poultry and livestock.

  So, Jason put away the smile on his face and stared at Henry, saying, "Hand over some high-yield seeds or live poultry and livestock, and perhaps I'll consider letting you go."

  After Jason finished speaking, everyone present had the same thought in their mind, "What a freakin' black-hearted guy."

  The joy on Jason's face just now definitely wasn't fake. The second blueprint was definitely a good item. But he still hadn't let Henry go. You can imagine how black-hearted Jason was.

  "Don't go too far," Henry said, clenching his fist.

  Henry never expected that he would take out the 2-Star blueprint that he had been treasuring, and Jason still wouldn't let him go.

  Jason smiled coldly and glanced at everyone present: "If I kill you, everything on your car will be mine. The reason why I didn't do it is just because I didn't want to reveal my abilities."
