Chapter 115: The Mysterious Merchant of the Game

Pop, pop, pop!

The very moment Ma Chen fired his gun, Zhao Yuxin rolled continuously to move away from her original position, causing all of Ma Chen's attacks to hit empty air.

Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan hid behind a giant rock and released the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine, preparing to wait for the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to dig an underground tunnel, while Zhu Zhiquan was responsible for flanking.

At the same time, to ensure they would not arouse suspicion, Zhao Yuxin continued to fire to draw fire.

Who would have thought that Zheng Ge's perception ability was excellent; the moment the soil behind them showed signs of loosening, Zheng Ge reacted quickly and launched continuous attacks toward the loosened spot.

Under his immense strength, the tunnel dug by the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine collapsed before long, which made Zhao Yuxin, not far away, break into a cold sweat.

"So it was you! It seems the one below is your man," Ma Chen recognized the two, Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin, and said in a contemptuous tone.

And Zheng Ge, staring at the collapsed tunnel, mocked, "That's right, we are no longer what we used to be. This is the perfect opportunity to settle old scores and new grudges together!"

Boom!

A large hole suddenly burst open in the ground behind Zheng Ge, and a figure flew out and kicked Zheng Ge away.

"Ajiu!" Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan was fine, Zhao Yuxin was overjoyed.

"Damn it, he didn't die even from that! Come and taste this!" Seeing Zhu Zhiquan jump out of the tunnel, Ma Chen pulled various toys out from his sleeves. There were model airplanes, model tanks, toy soldiers, Ultraman, and more.

These toys were deployed around Ma Chen, and together with Ma Chen, they opened fire on Zhu Zhiquan.

Upon seeing Ma Chen pull out a large number of toys, Zhu Zhiquan immediately activated the Nightmare Demon Eye. At this moment, the trajectories of the fire from the toys and Ma Chen appeared as if in slow motion to Zhu Zhiquan, and were easily dodged by him.

But Zhao Yuxin suffered greatly; she was chased by Zheng Ge the whole way, and after Zheng Ge activated Magnification, not only did his size and strength increase, but his speed also increased.

Zhao Yuxin pulled an Explosive Chili out from her crotch and, spotting the right moment, threw it out.

Boom~

An explosion rang out. Zheng Ge was enveloped in Chili dust; the massive shockwave and the unique burning sensation caused his HP to plummet to 14%. If not for a powerful talent, he would likely have died by now.

"Wah—so spicy! So spicy! It's burning me to death!" Zheng Ge lay on the ground, rolling and wailing continuously, while also deactivating the Magnification state.

Seeing Zheng Ge knocked down by Zhao Yuxin, Ma Chen controlled a toy plane to crash into Zhao Yuxin's chest; the massive impact caused her to fall to the ground.

One could tell how powerful it was from the fact that the toy plane turned into fragments. Fortunately, the Special Combat Suit helped her block most of the damage, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

While helping his teammate get out of trouble, Zhu Zhiquan seized this brief moment of distraction and used a Charged Slash to decapitate him.

Ma Chen's head fell to the ground and had just bounced up when it was suddenly caught as if by a large hand, which quickly reattached his head.

Subsequently, a doll emerged from his embrace, and then the doll's head flew off as if it had been chopped off by someone.

And after Zhu Zhiquan succeeded in his strike, he hurriedly sprinted to Zhao Yuxin's side.

"Ajiu, it hurts~" Zhao Yuxin slowly stood up with Zhu Zhiquan's support, crying out to Zhu Zhiquan at the same time.

But Zhu Zhiquan did not respond to her; he only shielded her behind him, staring tightly at the opponent.

Ma Chen helped Zheng Ge up, and at the same time, the wounds on Zheng Ge's body began to Yùhé. In the blink of an eye, no traces of injury could be seen, though he looked much thinner.

After assessing the damage on both sides, a feeling of eagerness to try surged in Zhu Zhiquan's heart.

Ma Chen and his companion also knew that they wouldn't gain any advantage here, so they simply revealed their card. Their card number was 6, which caused Zhao Yuxin's interest in the subsequent battle to plummet.

But Zhu Zhiquan was still full of enthusiasm; the battle just now had been very satisfying. However, he was certain that the moment Zhao Yuxin saw the number 6, she had lost the desire to fight, so he found it difficult to continue.

Conversely, Ma Chen's side looked nervous, the card in their hands trembling, hoping their number was not what the other side needed.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin exchanged a glance and slowly retreated. Seeing this, Ma Chen and Zheng Ge also followed suit, slowly retreating until they could no longer see each other.

After disengaging from the battle, Zhao Yuxin asked Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, where are we going now? Should we go find that bastard Guo Jinghua to cooperate?"

Zhu Zhiquan shook his head and said, "No, let's hide for now this time."

"Hide? That doesn't sound like you," Zhao Yuxin felt curious.

Zhu Zhiquan nodded lightly and explained, "Because your motor skills are too poor, we should make a few more combat plants first."

"Hehe~ thanks for the reminder," Zhao Yuxin said with a fake smile, "Then where are we going to hide now? It's so open here."

"No rush." Zhu Zhiquan looked at the surrounding environment and pointed to a restaurant, "Let's go there first."

Zhao Yuxin followed Zhu Zhiquan into the restaurant silently. As soon as they entered, they saw a person wearing a black Cloak sitting on a chair, and various goods were displayed on the dining table where they were located.

"You have discovered the Mysterious Merchant. If you wish to trade, please take out the items it wants in exchange," the system prompt sounded at this moment.

After hearing the content of the system prompt, Zhao Yuxin walked quickly to a seat opposite the Mysterious Merchant and sat down.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Um, may I ask if I can take these goods out of the game?"

The Mysterious Merchant shook its pitch-black hood. Zhao Yuxin wanted to look closely at the Mysterious Merchant's face, but because the Mysterious Merchant kept its head down, Zhao Yuxin didn't know what to say.

"Ajiu, come closer," Zhao Yuxin beckoned to Zhu Zhiquan, "Come help me see which items we can make use of."

The two scanned the goods. These goods included Draw Cards that could randomly obtain a card, Steal Cards to steal others' cards, Swap Cards to exchange cards with others, and so on. In short, they were all helpful for this game.

"Ajiu, which one do you think we should choose?" Looking at so many goods, Zhao Yuxin's indecisiveness immediately kicked in.

After reading the information on the goods, Zhu Zhiquan said to Zhao Yuxin, "Th... that, Azhao, do you still remember... what we came here... to do?"

Being told this by Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Yuxin immediately recalled, "Oh right, we didn't come here to trade with the Mysterious Merchant, but to make plants!"

Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan immediately cleared an open space, and then Zhao Yuxin began to draw a Magic Array on the ground.

Zhu Zhiquan sat opposite the Mysterious Merchant. The two did not communicate, just looking at each other. Although the Mysterious Merchant kept its head down, Zhu Zhiquan felt it was staring at him the whole time, which made him feel inexplicably nervous.

After Zhao Yuxin finished making the plants, Zhu Zhiquan was still sitting face-to-face with the Mysterious Merchant.

"What did Ajiu choose?" Zhao Yuxin threw herself onto Zhu Zhiquan's back and said with a gentle smile.

Zhu Zhiquan came back to his senses, not knowing how to speak. At this moment, he suddenly saw an item. This item was a Skill Book, and the book title was "Plant Modification and Transformation: Advanced Version" (3/3), and the price was fifteen Card Points.
