Chapter 157 Loans
Xu Si took the soup from Xiao Luo and sat down next to him.
The little girl then sneakily moved closer to her.
Although his eyes were red, he was clearly in much better spirits and whispered, "Brother Dao, did you get your hands on something good again?"
"Eat yours." Xu Si didn't reply, his gaze sweeping over the cave.
"Your hair?" Xiao Luo's silver hair was particularly eye-catching in the candlelight, even more so than his red hair.
"I don't know what happened!" Xiao Luo said somewhat embarrassedly, still not quite used to his silver hair.
"Not bad, not bad, you have some of Brother Dao's style!" Xu Si still appreciated it.
He was quite satisfied, being a fellow member of the mixed-race group.
Little Yellow Hair has a successor.
Fu Xiaojian, Wang Hu, and Shao Bing stood at the entrance of the cave, holding bowls of soup, watching the pouring rain, all with worried expressions.
"Xiao Luo and Li Miao's cars are fine, but the windshields are a bit difficult to fix! The pickup truck's taillights can't be repaired for the time being because there are no spare parts available," Wang Hu reported on the vehicle conditions.
"We didn't have much gasoline to begin with, and it won't last much longer!" Shao Bing added.
"Can you forge the car into a marvelous object?" Fu Xiaojian looked at Wang Hu with anticipation.
"Theoretically, it's possible, but it requires a suitable, bizarre drop, and even rare items might need oil!"
Fu Xiaojian looked thoughtfully at Xu Si, who was rubbing Xiao Luo's head.
Xu Si's car is a miracle, but it still needs fuel.
The team's current combat strength is decent, but fuel is a major weakness.
If there were a sequence that could produce fuel, wouldn't one become a tycoon in the apocalypse?
This is not the team's biggest predicament at present.
The biggest challenge the convoy is currently facing: the inability to detect the existence of supply points.
Since that checkpoint, they haven't encountered a decent supply point, and even if they wanted to replenish their supplies, there's not much they can do!
Fu Xiaojian is now particularly keen to borrow a strengthening potion from Xu Si.
If he can rise to Sequence 3 Pioneer, he can solve this problem.
The Pioneer Sequence 3 – Pioneer – has an "unknown topology" characteristic, which can roughly determine the general situation in a certain direction.
Even just a general overview is enough for finding supply points.
However, after searching the mine market, he still couldn't get the strange item.
Those items are "not for sale" by each team, unless they are rare items or equally bizarre drops.
Otherwise, everyone would be hiding themselves very well.
It's incredibly difficult to exchange ordinary goods for them.
Although his sequence progresses significantly with each new map he unlocks.
He only managed to advance to Sequence 2 after a series of leaps from the wasteland to the snowfield, then to the swamp, and finally to the Gobi Desert, plus the addition of Xu Si's enhancement potion.
In Sequence 2, although the team also experienced the transition from the Gobi Desert to the Rain World, this time the growth was greater than ever before.
However, he felt that he had only completed less than half of his sequence.
He still has a long way to go before he can reach Sequence 3!
That's why he wanted to borrow money from Xu Si.
However, for a young master from a wealthy family, asking to borrow something is indeed a bit difficult.
Fu Xiaojian, who had never asked for favors in his life, found it somewhat difficult to speak up at this moment.
However, the time has come when I have no choice but to speak up.
If this drags on any longer, the convoy will really go bankrupt.
……
"Old Xu, can we talk in private?" Xu Si, who had just finished his soup and was about to get back to his car to start his push for Sequence 3, was blocked by Fu Xiaojian.
Xu Si was somewhat surprised, but then he understood. Back in the mine ruins, this guy had wanted to exchange for enhancement potions with him, but unfortunately, it all came to nothing.
"I need a enhancement potion, but I don't have any strange drops on hand right now. I'll return the two items." Fu Xiaojian got straight to the point, without any hesitation, even when borrowing things he was so assertive.
He didn't tell Xu Si that he needed to upgrade the Sequence 3 Awakening Trait 'Unknown Hammer'.
Because it always made him feel like he was being morally blackmailed.
He can use kidnapping, but not moral kidnapping.
Xu Si knew he was referring to the general-purpose model, not the price of the general-purpose II model.
"I have better ones, but they require three bizarre drops!"
Seeing Fu Xiaojian's resolute attitude, Xu Si decided not to tease him.
What if he can't take a joke and just leaves?
"Three pieces it is!" Fu Xiaojian's eyes lit up.
So, did Su Su break through to Sequence 3 directly by taking a better enhancement drug?
What if he could do it too?
But why hasn't Xu Si reached Sequence 3 yet?
It doesn't sound like he's out of stock!
One isn't enough, two aren't enough?
If Xu Si knew what he was thinking, he would probably be furious.
Two are really not enough.
We don't even know if three will be enough!
"Wait a moment! Come find me in five minutes!"
Xu Si currently has no stock and needs to upgrade it.
"System, upgrade these two bottles of water to Sequence Enhancement Potion (General Type II)."
Returning to his role as the conqueror, Xu Si didn't disturb Yi Yi's rest and directly used the supplies in his cloak to upgrade.
[Purification Points -4200, Remaining Purification Points: 4570]
[Time: 1 minutes]
The difference is just too great; one wave of people get rich while the other gets poor.
Fu Xiaojian was not made to wait for five minutes.
He honked his horn to remind him as soon as the system completed the upgrade and enhancement potion.
Xu Si rolled down the car window, and Fu Xiaojian was already standing outside the "Conqueror" car.
Rainwater slid down his taut jawline, and there was a rare urgency in his eyes.
Xu Si handed over the bottle of potion that shimmered with a dangerous silver light and blood streaks.
"Don't force yourself after you finish drinking it. If you really can't, ask Jiao Jiao to help you." Fu Xiaojian took the potion and then remembered how he felt when he drank it before. His lips twitched.
He didn't say anything, but gave Xu Si a deep, slightly grateful look before turning around and striding back to the Warriors.
Given his personality, he probably doesn't need Jiao Jiao's support. I just hope he can pull through; he's all too familiar with that feeling!
Most people in the cave noticed the unusual behavior of the two, but it seemed that only Su Su guessed what kind of deal they had made.
As for Jiao Jiao, she was still savoring the previous feast, her eyes gleaming as she stared at Li Miao not far away, seemingly wanting to savor it a little longer.
Even if it's just self-deception, it's fine!
Wang Hu and Shao Bing exchanged a glance and went about their own business.
Jiang Li's curiosity reached its peak at this moment, but she was a woman who knew her limits.
As a newcomer, you're bound to make mistakes. But as long as you do your job well, you'll eventually gain the team's approval.
So she didn't ask anyone or anything, but practiced her increasingly proficient military boxing under the candlelight.
Her boxing style is completely different from Su Su's.
As for Tashan, he found nothing amiss.
