Xu Xin decided to help her.
Purple-level weapons and equipment are not a scarce resource for today's explorers.
They even wanted to give each of the people below a set.
A set of purple-level equipment is indeed a huge cost for survivors in other areas, but for them, the explorers, it is actually nothing.
After all, the giant cannon on his tree house is equivalent to ten sets of purple-level equipment.
“… Thank you.” Shi Wanyun’s trembling eyes calmed down, she thanked him, and immediately swallowed the pill in her hand.
"Um… "
She first frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed her brows, and finally let out a breath.
“… I didn’t expect you to have a more advanced pill.”
Feeling her body fully recovered, Shi Wanyun showed a little joy.
"You owe us this."
Xu Xin spoke as he was thinking about how to help her.
"… Yeah, I know." Shi Wanyun nodded.
Xu Xin pondered for a moment.
So, how can we help her
Advanced mutant creatures...
He had a headache.
There are powerful opponents everywhere who will be defenseless once you really confront them.
Fortunately, she was less than two kilometers away from the finish line.
Moreover, from what she said, she was not actually being chased madly by all the creatures in the underground world like Lou Feier was in the underground world.
She was just being taken as prey by some powerful creatures.
With the help of the invisible cloak provided by Zhao Xiaochuan, Shi Wanyun is now much more relaxed than Lou Feier was in the underground world at that time.
What she needs to do, in fact, is... be alert to surprise attacks.
After all, some animals, such as cats, hunt by hiding and attacking from the enemy, suddenly jumping out and grabbing the enemy's throat.
"... I'll give you a set of purple-grade steel armor, a crossbow, and... enough explosive crossbows."
Xu Xin finally decided to provide her with these resources.
He took action immediately and traded these resources to her.
"The Stealth Cloak and the Purple Steel Armor Set do not conflict with each other, so you can wear them both." Xu Xin said.
Shi Wanyun nodded, looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger around for the time being, she quickly put on the purple steel armor and held a crossbow.
"... The effect of this set of equipment...!" Shi Wanyun was also a little surprised by the purple-level steel armor's similar "All Weapon Mastery" buff effect, "It turns out... purple-level equipment will have this special effect."
The first piece of purple-level equipment she came into contact with was the Hermit's Headdress that Xu Xin had just given her, and the second piece was this set of purple-level steel armor.
The special effects of the two types of equipment subverted her cognition.
Xu Xin smiled slightly.
The gap in cognition between people from other districts and those in District 188 is indeed much larger.
A long time ago, when he made the Anaconda Scale Armor Set, he already knew that the purple-grade set had special effects.
But Shi Wanyun just found out about it.
At this moment, a glimmer of hope appeared in Shi Wanyun's eyes.
"Considering your current situation, I have a suggestion." Xu Xin said.
Shi Wanyun's current position is too dangerous.
With Shi Wanyun's current strength, she has no ability to fight against these advanced mutant creatures.
She was not qualified to fight at all now, so her first goal was to escape and save her life.
This is also the reason why Xu Xin gave her the purple-level steel armor set with the strongest defense but did not give her a purple-level weapon.
What I mean is, don't think about fighting, it's meaningless.
Her mission was not complicated, which was to avoid all the advanced mutant creatures and reach her destination.
Any fighting action would be unnecessary and a waste of time for her, and would even attract the attention of more mutant creatures.
Therefore, Xu Xin's advice to her was very simple.
"Use the explosive crossbow to attract the attention of those creatures, and take this opportunity to move towards the roots of the giant tree. If the situation becomes critical, stop where you are and use the power of the Cloak of the Stealth to prevent those mutant creatures from sensing you. Then continue to use the explosive crossbow to attract the attention of those mutant creatures and take action when the opportunity arises."
Shi Wanyun slightly widened her eyes, thought for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Your method... maybe it can really keep me alive."
Although her tone was relatively calm and her voice was soft, Xu Xin could see that her knuckles had turned white from the force she exerted while holding the crossbow.
It's normal for her to lose her composure a little.
In the midst of despair, I suddenly found a path of hope. If it were someone else, they might have cried for joy.
After all, no one wants to die, especially dying in the mouth of a wild beast. That is really too despairing.
"besides… "
Xu Xin spread his hands towards the camera: "In my hand, I have three pills, the same kind you just took, high-grade pills."
Shi Wanyun opened her mouth slightly, was stunned for two seconds, and said: "You... want to give it to me?"
She understood that if she had these three pills, her chances of success would greatly increase!
In fact, it can be said that it is almost certain!
That is equivalent to having three more lives!
but…
"You... want to get something from me?" Shi Wanyun frowned slightly, then shook her head. "I'm afraid I don't have anything that you're interested in, and I can't exchange anything valuable with you. Maybe I can do that after I go back."
In her opinion, such a powerful pill must be a very precious and rare resource.
Xu Xin had already done his best by giving her one pill like this to help her recover from her injuries. If she wanted to get these three pills, she would have to pay a price.
"I'm going to ask you a question. If you can tell me the answer, these three pills will all be yours." Xu Xin looked at her and said.
For Xu Xin, this pill is not a scarce resource for him.
Although this pill cannot be mass-produced yet, at least there is no shortage of people within the explorers.
Xu Xin currently has a full bottle in his hand, with more than ten pills left, and if he runs out of pills, he can always go to Qi Xuefei for replenishment.
After all, the lives of their explorers are the most important, because each of them carries the lives of dozens of other people.
"... What do you want to ask?" Shi Wanyun was silent for a moment and then spoke.
She didn't look at Xu Xin, but looked around, as if she was avoiding Xu Xin's gaze.
She seemed to know what Xu Xin wanted to ask.
"Tell me, what is your... unique special ability?" Xu Xin asked directly.
He had actually wanted to know this question a long time ago.
From the conversation just now, he had no idea what kind of abilities this woman who ranked first in Zone 1 in this event possessed.
"Exclusive special ability?" Shi Wanyun turned her head slightly to look at Xu Xin, revealing a puzzled expression, "... What do you mean?"
She frowned slightly, with a look of confusion and doubt in her eyes, and it seemed that she really had no idea about any special abilities.
"You really don't have any special abilities?"
"... I don't know what exclusive special abilities you're talking about." Shi Wanyun shook her head.
Does she really have no special abilities
No.
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
"Your acting skills are far inferior to Lou Feier's." He rubbed Coco's little head in his arms and said.
"Hmm?" Coco looked up at him.
"... I don't know what you are talking about." Shi Wanyun's eyes flashed with a slight annoyance, probably because she was dissatisfied with Xu Xin comparing her with others.
"I mean, the lie was a bit too harsh." Xu Xin laughed.
"… What exactly do you want to say?" Shi Wanyun's gentle tone became slightly heavier, "I'm not lying, and I don't know what special abilities you have."
Judging from her attitude just now, she does give people the impression that she has no idea of her special abilities, but...
"Have you forgotten that the whole world now basically knows that some members of our explorers have special abilities?" Xu Xin said while rubbing Coco's little belly and teasing it.
"… "
Among the explorers, the abilities of Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei are basically completely exposed to everyone in the world, because their abilities are basically completely open to the parasites under their command.
Just like when Li Wenxi led everyone to mine, her hundredfold explosion rate had already been exposed to everyone.
The explorers did not take any confidentiality measures for this matter.
After all, there are too many people and too many mouths to turn, so they can't prevent information from leaking out, so it's better to just let it go. This way, their explorers' abilities can be further improved.
It turns out that there was nothing wrong with their approach. Now, both the other people in Area 188 and people in other areas have strong confidence in the explorers.
Basically, if they have the opportunity to defect, they will definitely defect.
"Everyone in the world knows about this. You're not going to say you don't know, are you?" Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh. "You don't know what special abilities are? Or are you trying to hide something?"
Shi Wanyun was silent.
There was a flash of annoyance in her eyes.
Xu Xin also smiled slightly.
This Shi Wanyun is indeed not very good at communicating with other people.
"I can't tell you about my ability now, I'm sorry." Shi Wanyun stood up, "I don't want your three pills. Thank you anyway, if I can go back, I will repay you."
My goodness, he just overturned the table
"Wait, you really don't want it anymore..." Xu Xin held a pill and shook it in front of the camera, "One pill is a life."
“… You don’t have to tempt me. I can’t tell you this.” Shi Wanyun looked away from the projection.
She really wanted the pill, but...
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I can't tell you." Her voice was still gentle, but she said something that made Xu Xin's eyelids jump.
Can't tell
Why can't you tell
The information that Xu Xin has contacted cannot be disclosed to others...
It should only be information about the underground world at that time, right
"... Is your ability related to the Blood Mark Clan?" Xu Xin asked tentatively.
Shi Wanyun turned her head to look at Xu Xin, her lips slightly opened, but then closed again, and turned her head away from him.
She probably already knew what it meant to talk too much and make mistakes, so she simply stopped talking to Xu Xin.
However, she did not hang up the call, but waited for Xu Xin to hang up.
In other words, she still had hope for the pills in Xu Xin's hand.
"Alright, alright, stop glancing at me." Xu Xin shook his head and traded the three pills to him. "Here you go. I hope you won't let me down. When you come back, I want to know everything you know about the giant tree."
He pointed to the giant tree in the clouds behind Shi Wanyun in the video.
He was very interested in the giant tree.
As for what Shi Wanyun just said...
Xu Xin chose to believe.
After all, she is now in an extremely dangerous life crisis, and staying alive is the most important thing.
Just by telling others about your special abilities, you can get three lives in return. This is simply the best way to make money.
But even so, she didn't say it out loud.
This is not very reasonable. After all, even if Xu Xin knew her ability, he couldn't do anything to her.
Is it true that she cannot tell others about her ability
"… Thank you." Shi Wanyun turned to look at him, her expression serious, "I won't let you down."
Then the video went dark.
She hung up.
… Is it so real? I hung up as soon as I got the pill.
"嘤!" Coco, who had been very well-behaved in Xu Xin's arms and let him knead her, suddenly jumped up and grabbed at the projection of the watch.
Of course, the result was that he came up empty-handed and it fell to the ground with a plop.
Silver King and Mimi, who had been lying on the side and didn't care much, looked over here.
"What's wrong, Coco?" Xu Xin asked in surprise.
“嘤…?” Coco stood up and tilted her little head, then jumped onto the armrest of the sofa and lay down again.
This little guy...
Did you find something in the video
Thinking of the experience of awakening his mind-reading ability in the underground world, Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.
This little guy knows much more than I do.
never mind.
Anyway, it would never tell itself.
I hope Shi Wanyun can survive.
He was really interested in that giant tree.
The bright lights on the treetops made him wonder if that tree... was also a tree house.
An incredibly huge tree house!
Thousands of meters high, covering several kilometers in radius...
Super giant tree!
Could it be that the people living up there are the Blood Mark Clan
That's really interesting.
After sitting on the sofa and resting for a while, I heard Lou Feier's shouting from under the tree house.
"Boss! I brought Niu Fugui and the others back!"
Niu Fugui was standing next to Xu Xin's tree house at this time. Seeing such a tall tree house, he was very excited, "What a big tree house!"
Xu Xin swung down from the tree house and looked back at his tree house after hearing this.
After seeing that towering tree, he always felt that his tree house was... a little too small.
He turned to look at Niu Fugui again and raised his eyebrows.
This guy is really strong!
Compared to Wang Lei's tall and strong figure, Niu Fugui is a typical strong and muscular person.
Wang Lei is over 1.9 meters tall, almost 2 meters tall, but his overall appearance does not give him the same strong and sturdy look as Niu Fugui, who is over 1.7 meters tall!
This guy's muscles look really strong!
It's almost on par with those high-tech fitness contestants in fitness competitions!
"You're here. Thank you for your hard work." Xu Xin patted Niu Fugui's shoulder and nodded to the other two.
"Hello, Brother Xin!"
"I finally get to see you, Brother Xin!" Niu Fugui was a little excited, "Oh, I can finally live a more stable life!"
"Don't say that." Xu Xin smiled and waved his hand, "With your own abilities, I'm afraid you can live well."
Among so many survivors in the world, only a few can actually climb the snow-capped mountains like him.
"I don't have such big ideals. I just want to live an ordinary life." Niu Fugui touched his head and smiled in a naive way.
"Come up and sit down and take a rest." Xu Xin stretched out his hand and called down the roots of the tree house.
"No, no, Brother Xin." Niu Fugui immediately waved his hand.
Xu Xin was a little surprised: "Do you have anything else to do?"
"They all cut down the tree house to come here." Lou Feier explained, "They said that if they didn't cut down the tree house, they would have to go back, which would be too troublesome."
"... You guys are really brave." Xu Xin looked at the three of them helplessly.
"Hehe, Brother Xin, aren't we eager to join us?" one of them laughed.
"Nothing happened on the way?" Xu Xin asked.
"No." Niu Fugui shook his head, "But..."
"But what's wrong?"
Niu Fugui looked at the other person beside him.
"It's like this, Brother Xin," the man explained to Xu Xin, "Since I cut down my tree house and walked towards Brother Niu, I felt like someone was following me, but... nothing happened along the way."
Is anyone following
"I think you are just too nervous and excited, and you have an illusion." Niu Fugui didn't care at all, "Aren't we here very safely?"
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
Maybe his feeling was right.
It is indeed very dangerous in the jungle now.
Even Shi Wanyun was hit, not to mention the ordinary survivors.
"Have you decided where to go?" Xu Xin asked, "Then don't follow me. There's nothing much to do here, and it's even more dangerous."
He pointed to the large lake road on one side.
The three of them discussed it.
"I don't seem to have any other abilities..." Niu Fugui touched his head, "Why not, I go mining? I can still do hard labor!"
"You are a great contributor, do you want to go mining?" Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Hey, I don't have any big ideals. I'm just satisfied living with other people!" Niu Fugui patted his chest.
“I want to farm!”
"I want to help make medicine!"
The three of them chose their own destinations and were taken away by Lou Feier.
Now, there is one more thing left to take care of.
"There's a new person coming just now?"
At this time, Zeng Tao ran over and asked, "Where are the people?"
"Gone." Xu Xin looked down at her.
"Ah? Why did you leave?" Zeng Tao was a little dissatisfied, "Leave one for me, I also want a little brother."
"… You? What do you want me to do?"
"I can train them, and it's so boring to be alone!" Zeng Tao pointed at the newly appeared purple-black arch bridge and said, "I'm sure a lot of you will come again this time, right? Remember to leave a few for me! I'm leaving now."
"Don't go yet. Come with me." Xu Xin called Zeng Tao.
"What?" Zeng Tao turned around and looked at him.
"Come with me somewhere. I need your fighting power."
"Okay, okay, where are we going?" Zeng Tao immediately got excited, took out his sword, and smashed it on the ground with a "clang" sound, with an excited expression on his face, "My sword is thirsty for energy!"
She really can't sit still.
The cold winter was about to end, but there was one place he had yet to visit.
That place, which can strengthen mutant creatures and restore their physical strength!
At least go and take a look now when there is no danger zone!
