After experiencing two incidents of unpredictability, residents who are finally able to go out are crowding into blind box stores to exchange the items they need.
Some people saw the newly launched "Anti-Vampire Mist Limited" blind box and looked regretful.
When the poisonous fog spread, there were no protective measures and people dared not go out at all.
However, staying at home cannot completely isolate oneself from the invasion of toxic fog. Many people still inhale the toxic fog and show symptoms of poisoning.
If only there were gas masks and filter screens at that time.
The blind box of medicines has also added a new type - antidote, and many people are queuing up to buy it.
Jiang Han's team and Chi Jin were queuing up at the back. Yao Yiyi and Li Xin were still in the base and had not woken up. Some residents also needed antidotes.
Lu Yao followed the direction indicated by the ruby on the bracelet and gradually approached Chi Jin. His eyes stopped on him, a little confused.
She walked past Chi Jin, and the ruby's light turned and pointed at him again.
Lu Yao turned around to look at him, slightly startled, "Why is the bracelet pointing at people?"
System: [He has compass fragments on him. ]
Lu Yao: "... Is he a human?"
Chi Jin had his eyes covered the whole time, so Lu Yao didn't pay any attention to this person.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that his lazy and casual temperament was somewhat similar to Xue Ge and Ling Lan.
Linglan had shown a strong liking for him before, could they be of the same kind
Lu Yao stared at Chi Jin, who seemed to notice something and looked up at him.
Even with the sunglasses covering his face, I still couldn't see his expression clearly, but I could hear his clear voice: "Shopkeeper, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Lu Yao greeted him, turned backstage, and asked Mr. Jiang about Chi Jin.
Jiang Shanrun had a good impression of both Lu Yao and Chi Jin. When he heard Lu Yao asking about Chi Jin, he didn't think much about it and felt that there was nothing worth hiding, so he told him everything.
Chi Jin was injured and unconscious in the wild and was rescued and brought back to the base by him.
His eyes were injured and he couldn't see the light, so he always wore sunglasses.
Later he stayed in the Changming Base. He was lazy and liked flowers and plants, but he didn't have any bad habits.
Occasionally, unable to resist Jiang Han's pleading, Chi Jin would go out hunting mutant animals and plants.
I heard that his supernatural powers are very powerful, but Jiang Shanrun has never seen them.
Lu Yao remembered it and went back to look for Xiao Linglan.
Little lily of the valley was hiding in the lounge eating snacks. She preferred to be a lily of the valley plant. When she saw Lu Yao, she immediately wanted to come over and rub against him.
Lu Yao carried her to the table and asked casually, "Xiao Linglan, during the flood season, you met a young man wearing sunglasses in the store. Is he from your tribe?"
The little lingorchid shakes its little flower bud to look cute.
Lu Yao: "Would you like to eat the grilled skewers, grilled chicken wings, and grilled potato skins from the snack bar?"
Xiao Linglan suddenly changed into a human form, her eyes like black grapes sparkling: "Yes!"
Lu Yao: "Who is that young man wearing sunglasses?"
Xiao Linglan raised her hand: "I want two more small cakes, one watermelon soda, and one matcha milk tea."
Lu Yao nodded, "Okay."
Linglan supported herself on the edge of the table with her little fleshy hands, her legs swaying slightly as she spoke softly, "That was Lord Hua Huang. He used to live with us in a place where we had a buffet every day, but later he left on his own. Linglan was very happy to meet him in the store that day."
buffet
I think I learned this word recently from watching TV with Xue Ge. It’s best not to let Zhong Ruying hear it.
Flower King
Lu Yao thought for a while, "Does it mean the most powerful one among your kind?"
Xiao Linglan nodded, "Lord Flower King has collected a lot of delicious-looking fragments, and his power has become very strong. Only the Beast King can rival him."
Lu Yao had a bad feeling, "Chi Jin ate those pieces?"
"Hmm. The fragments are glowing with golden light and have a very delicious smell." Little Linglan was ignorant at first and wanted to snatch the fragments, so she was severely punished.
Lu Yao typed into the system: "What should I do if the compass fragments are eaten?"
System: [The compass fragments merge with the body, providing divine power. Only by killing the target can it be retrieved. . ]
Lu Yao: “…”
When Lu Yao came out of the lounge, Jiang Han and his group had already left.
Even if she met Chi Jin again, she didn't know what to say.
If what Xiao Linglan said was true, Chi Jin ate part of the compass fragments.
There was no way she could kill him as the system instructed.
-
At night, Lu Yao stayed in the research room of the blind box store.
Because of this ultimate mission, I feel a little upset.
Suddenly, the bracelet on her wrist lit up red and pointed straight out the door.
The fragments will not appear for no reason, unless someone comes to the blind box store with the compass fragments.
Lu Yao stood up and opened the door.
The tall man was squatting in front of a food blind box machine, with muscular arms and shoulder blades, full of strength. His light blond hair was slightly long, and a palm-sized orange cat was lying on his head, which looked quite familiar.
And the light of the ruby was directed towards him.
Lu Yao hesitated for a moment and walked out.
The footsteps were particularly clear in the silent night.
The man squatting in front of the blind box machine seemed unaware, or didn't care at all.
"Xiao Hu, this machine seems to be able to carve out meat, do you want to try it?"
The little strange beast lying on top of the man’s head let out a “wooo”. The man used the crystal core coins to exchange for a blind box of food ingredients and couldn’t wait to open it.
Open a bag of vegetables and a bag of sugar.
The man threw away the greens and said, "… What a crappy blind box, it's useless."
The little strange beast jumped down, took the vegetables back in small steps, and pushed them to the man's feet.
He turned his head to look at Lu Yao and yelled "Awooo" at her.
"Do you remember me?" Lu Yao recognized that this was the little strange beast that had come to the store during the poisonous fog period. He squatted down in surprise and reached out to him.
The little tiger cub hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Lu Yao and lowered his head to rub her hand.
The Beast King stood up and looked at the human who suddenly appeared and dared to pet his son like a cat. A fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Xiaohu noticed it and turned back and called out softly.
The Beast King restrained his gaze, bent down to pick up the vegetables on the ground, held the bag of sugar in one hand, and walked out of the blind box store first, "Xiao Hu, let's go."
The little tiger cub secretly licked Lu Yao's fingertips, turned around and quickly followed the Beast King.
Lu Yao stood up and watched the two figures, one big and one small, disappear into the night with a complicated expression.
The man also had a compass fragment on him, and it looked like he wasn't just carrying it with him.
Lu Yao: "Is that person a strange beast?"
System: [Yes, this is also a target that needs to be killed.]
Lu Yao: “…”
In the following days, Lu Yao wore the bracelet and went out to look for the remaining compass fragments.
Lily of the Valley is clingy and I want to go out with her.
Xue Ge was worried, so he followed him out.
They often meet people with bad intentions on the road, and they are basically dealt with by Xiao Linglan and Xue Ge.
Although Xiao Linglan had just transformed into a human form, she fought very violently and was even more powerful than Xue Ge.
Lu Yao brought a lot of magic props and scrolls with magic circles drawn on them in advance, as well as a magic wand that the alien clerks at the nail salon made for her, but none of them were used.
After searching outside for a few days, the ruby on the bracelet never shone again.
The new round of impermanence is drought. The days are quietly lengthening, the scorching sun is scorching the ground for a long time, the temperature is rising sharply, and the weather is hot.
The blind box store launched a new ice drink series and a summer limited series, which were very popular.
The Beast King and the Tiger Cub always go to the blind box store late at night when no one is around to draw boxes, and then leave cursing after opening them.
There are only two days left until the end of the mission, and the progress of the final mission is zero.
The system couldn't help but pop up: [Shopkeeper, the task is about to expire. ]
Lu Yao lay on the sofa in the lounge, looking at the ceiling, "Hmm."
System: [What are you going to do? The ultimate mission has failed, and all the previous efforts will be in vain.]
The bracelet had no reaction in the wild, and it is possible that she did not find the right place.
But in the past few days, we have gone as far as the neighboring area and still found nothing.
Lu Yao guessed that the fragments of the balance compass were most likely in the hands of Chi Jin and his little alien beast companion.
According to the system, to complete this task, two people must be killed.
For her, this was an impossible task.
System: [When the mission fails, the wish cannot be fulfilled and the store owner will die.]
Lu Yao was very calm: "Yeah."
system:[…]
The owner started to display the goods? This is not like her.
The system patiently asked: [Does the shop owner think this task is difficult? Or is there another reason?]
Lu Yao didn't say anything, sat up, got up and walked out of the blind box store.
It was a little after four in the morning, and the world of impermanence was already bright. The sun was hanging high in the sky, and there was a faint heat rising from the ground.
During this period, mutant plants and animals were almost extinct.
It became difficult for people to obtain crystal cores.
The square and road outside the blind box store were dry and cracked. Lu Yao walked along the dilapidated road for a while and stood on the bridge.
The water level of the river under the bridge dropped, and the water on the river bank dried up into sand.
Lu Yao held onto the stone railing of the bridge, exhaled slowly, and the bracelet on his wrist glowed red.
She tilted her head and narrowed her eyes.
A young man wearing sunglasses was walking towards me from the other side of the bridge.
Lu Yao turned around and walked back.
Chi Jin was behind her, and the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller.
Then he slowed down and followed her closely.
Lu Yao entered the blind box store, opened the door, and returned to his own world.
The sky was getting light, and a ray of silver light cut through the lead-gray clouds.
The morning breeze blows on the skin, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Outside the shopping street was a desolate scene, with old and dilapidated streets and no one living.
Only the three stores along the river had clean signs hanging on them, and the exteriors of the stores looked tidy as new.
If the mission goes smoothly, there will be more shops on this street, including fruit shops, milk tea shops, bookstores...
All the shabby little shops will become as clean and tidy as snack bars, nail salons and blind box stores.
Lu Yao raised his hand to hook up his flying hair and pressed it behind his ear, then looked up and saw a person standing at the door of the snack bar.
"Kyoko, why so early?"
The delivery truck usually arrives after seven o'clock, but it is not yet six-thirty now.
Xingzi saw Lu Yao and her face lit up: "Shopkeeper, I heard the cats' cry, but I can't find them. Can you help me find them?"
"Cat?" Lu Yao neither saw the cat nor heard any sound.
Xingzi explained: "There was a lot of cargo this morning, so I came early. There was a cat outside that kept crying. There are no cats in Dreamland, but I didn't see any outside either."
Lu Yao searched around the store three or four times, and even went into the vacant store next door, but he didn't find the cat.
She simply walked a little further, out along the shopping street, to the three-way intersection where it met the main road, and found it in a ditch on the side of the road.
A calico cat was lying in a muddy ditch, holding a kitten in its mouth, struggling to move from one end to the other.
Not far from it, there were two kittens rolling in the mud, their cries were weak.
The calico cat was injured, with blood trailing all the way down the middle of the road and its internal organs spilling out of its stomach.
It was holding the kitten in its mouth, and its hind legs were so weak that it couldn't move at all.
After seeing Lu Yao, it opened its mouth and began to cry sadly.
Lu Yao ran back to the snack bar, took out two paper boxes and a towel, and carefully packed one large and three small ones.
When Lu Yao wrapped the calico cat with a towel, he discovered that there was a kitten under its belly, which was already dead.
She carried the lifeless kitten back to the shopping street, said hello to Anzi in a hurry, and went straight into the nail salon.
Putting down the box, Lu Yao used light magic on the injured calico cat.
The holy golden light enveloped the big cat, the hole in its belly healed little by little, and its cry gradually became softer.
After its wound healed, the calico cat stared at Lu Yao with its round eyes for a while, then suddenly jumped out of the box, crying as it went to look at the kittens in another box.
Lu Yao sat on the ground and let out a long sigh.
The foreign shop assistants heard the noise, came down from upstairs, and saw Lu Yao with a look of surprise.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Lu Yao handed the four cats over to the care of the store clerk, put the dead kitten in a cardboard box, and buried it in the open space next to the snack bar.
Xingzi stood in the corridor and watched the owner work quietly.
Lu Yao compacted the soil, made a mark, and handed the digging tools to Xingzi, "The four cats are fine, they will be kept in the nail salon for the time being. I have to go to the blind box store first, and I will let Xiaoji bring them to you later."
Xingzi noticed that the owner looked a little anxious, so she nodded without asking any more questions.
System: [Shopkeeper, have you decided to continue the mission? ]
Lu Yao: “Yeah.”
The system was surprised. It didn't expect her to figure it out so quickly. "What are you going to do? Kill Chi Jin first?"
Lu Yao's hand on the door paused as he pushed it open. "I do plan to look for him first, but I don't have the idea you mentioned."
system:[???]
"When I made a wish in the past, I might have been prepared to pay any price to make it come true. But if it is really my wish, I think this price definitely does not include it," said Lu Yao.
The system is a little panicked: [What do you want to do? ]
Lu Yao didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, he confided: "After all, the goal of this mission is to remove the compass fragments, not anything else. When I was treating the calico cat, I remembered the idea of magic manicure before, using dark magic to destroy the structure, and then using light magic to repair it. I think this method should be able to remove the compass fragments without hurting people's lives. It just takes some time to experiment, so I want to go back to the laboratory immediately."
System: [… How do you plan to conduct the experiment? How long will it take? ]
Lu Yao: "It will take at least half a day. There is no time to prepare carefully. I will do it myself."
The system was shocked: [You want to experiment on yourself? ]
Time was running out, Lu Yao didn't want to say anything more and pushed open the shop door.
At this time, the blind box store was crowded with people.
No one redeemed the blind box, and everyone looked out the door in panic.
Lu Yao turned around and saw Ji Feiming, Luo Huian, Jiang Han, Xi Tingran, Xue Ge and Ling Lan standing at the door with different expressions.
"What happened?" she asked.
Ji Feiming turned around first, and felt relieved when he saw her: "There's a fight going on outside."
When Linglan heard the shopkeeper's voice, she immediately came over, protected her behind her, and whispered, "The Beast King and the Flower Emperor are fighting, we can't intervene."
Lu Yao was very surprised: "Why are they fighting?"
Jiang Han frowned and looked outside, also very puzzled: "Brother Chi and I came to the store to exchange blind boxes, and met that man at the door. He stopped Brother Chi and said that he wanted to put an end to the unfinished fight four years ago, and asked Brother Chi to hand over some fragments. Brother Chi didn't want to pay attention, and the man suddenly turned into a beast, and then a fight started."
Compass fragments
Lu Yao and Ling Lan met each other's eyes.
Lily of the Valley came over and whispered, "It must be the piece that looks delicious."
The area around the Fairy Tale Square has been destroyed beyond recognition, and only the blind box store has become a safe house under the protection of the magic barrier.
When I went out in the morning, people who came to redeem blind boxes all rushed into the store and were afraid to leave.
The huge mutant tiger roared towards the sky, and the sound was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.
He leaped towards the young man in white who was less than ten meters away from the blind box shop.
The young man was wearing a white coat and sunglasses, playing with a pair of silver scissors in his hand. He easily dodged the attack of the Beast King and jumped to a high place.
The Beast King is huge in size and has terrifying power.
Everyone who could see the battle at the door of the blind box store felt that the thin young man in sunglasses would soon be defeated, and at the same time a feeling of sadness rose in their hearts.
No matter which side wins, the fate of mankind will be the same.
There is no hope for this world anymore.
The beast king landed without stopping and immediately jumped up, with its claws pointing at the young man's legs.
Chi Jin had a calm expression as he stood there without moving. A slender golden lotus grew in the palm of his hand hidden behind his back.
When the beast king pounces upon you, flip the lotus branch over and pierce it straight into the beast king's heart.
"Puff—" The Beast King spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, he took a few steps back in disbelief, and suddenly fell to the ground.
In less than half a moment, there was no sound.
"Lord Flower Emperor won!" Lily of the Valley said excitedly.
The palm-sized orange monster rolled off the back of the beast king. Its round eyes angrily glared at the young man holding the golden branch, its vision blurred by tears.
It buried its head on the dead beast king, rubbed its head against the beast king's rough fur affectionately, wiped away its tears, spit out the crystal core sword from its stomach, pressed the blade, picked up the handle, and ran towards Chi Jin at a rapid speed.
When Chi Jin saw the little strange beast running over, he gently turned the lotus branch in his hand, and bright red blood flowed down the golden branch and dripped onto the ground.
The little tiger cubs definitely cannot beat Chi Jin, so we can’t let them fight anymore.
Lu Yao took out the magic wand from his personal storage, walked out of the store, and ran towards the tiger cub.
Chi Jin noticed her, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the lotus branch in his hand suddenly flew towards the little strange beast.
When little Linglan saw Lu Yao running out, her face turned pale and she ran out after him.
Lu Yao drew a magic circle of acceleration under his feet. At the critical moment, he bent down and hugged the little strange beast, then rolled on the ground to avoid the golden lotus branch that was full of shark intent.
The next second, countless golden lotuses with a stern shark-like aura flew over from the opposite side.
Xiao Linglan's ankles were tied by lotus branches extending from the soil. She could not move at all and could only watch.
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded in the sky, a huge claw covered with black scales tore through the space, and a terrible monster poked its head out from behind the clouds.
When the people in the blind box shop saw this scene, they stepped back one after another, so desperate that they could hardly breathe.
What kind of monster is this
Harold tried thousands of times and finally located the world where Lu Yao was.
He came across time and space, and before he could even say hello, he immediately discovered that Lu Yao was in danger.
Without thinking, he flew over.
The little black dragon in giant dragon form was much taller than the Beast King. It fell to the ground like a mountain, causing the earth to shake.
He swept his tail, forming a circle that encircled Lu Yao, blocked the flying lotus branch, and swung his dragon claws at Chi Jin mercilessly.
Lu Yao actually used his magic wand to build a strong enough shield wall.
After being trapped by the little black dragon's tail, her whole body relaxed, and everything went dark before her eyes. The little tiger cub struggled in her arms.
A few minutes later, the little black dragon retracted its tail.
Chi Jin stood less than two meters away from Lu Yao, his white clothes stained with blood (blue), and he was about to collapse.
The little strange beast broke away from Lu Yao's hand, holding the crystal core sword in its mouth, and ran towards Chi Jin, leaping up frantically.
Chi Jin slightly turned sideways and easily dodged the attack.
It's just that the sunglasses were hit by the tip of the blade and broke.
Without the cover, the young man's appearance was revealed.
His eyes were like rubies, burning and pure, and also like a swamp of blood, dark and sharp. He did not look hurt at all. He stared at Lu Yao closely, and suddenly his eyes flashed and his words were filled with malice.
"Next time we meet, I will kill you."
Lu Yao's pupils shrank slightly. He seemed to have seen this pair of eyes somewhere before.
Without time to think, she drew a magic circle of light and pushed it towards Chi Jin.
The warm golden light was about to envelope him. Chi Jin took a step back and let his body turn into sand.
The bodies of the Beast King and Chi Jin turned into dust, leaving behind two already formed compass fragments.
Lu Yao stared at the two pieces of debris on the ground in a daze.
The little black dragon transformed into a human form and landed beside Lu Yao. He bent down and took out two familiar bones from two piles of ashes. "Lu Yao, there are bones here too."
Lu Yao came back to his senses, took it and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the same as the two in the warehouse.
[Spending 200,000 popularity points can repair the broken balance compass. Will the store owner choose to repair it? ]
Lu Yao was silent for a while, "...Yes."
The popularity value is deducted and the two compasses are automatically merged together.
After a moment, the balanced compass was repaired.
All of a sudden, the thick clouds in the sky dispersed, the sunlight seemed to have lost its scorching heat, and a breeze came across my face, bringing a rare sense of freshness and comfort.
[The Balance Compass has been found and successfully repaired. The ultimate mission is completed. Congratulations to the store owner. You can go to the next world immediately! ]
Lu Yao felt his pocket getting hot and took out a familiar little note.
The latest clues always appear below. Lu Yao rubbed out the white papers and found two words written on the last one.
"Drown in the sea."
Just like how she feels now.
