Chapter 140: The Arrival of the Tricycle

The two of them walked hand in hand to the temporary room where Yage and the Elders were conferring, waiting for Yage to arrange a new mission.

Seeing the two arrive, Yage began to explain the mission for which he had summoned them: "The reason I called you two outsiders here this time is because we suspect there is danger ahead, so from now on, we want you to go and scout the path. What do you think?"

Upon hearing that they were to scout the path, Zhao Yuxin pulled on Zhu Zhiquan and refused repeatedly. Zhu Zhiquan, however, stood calmly in place, his eyes revealing excitement.

Yage stood up and clapped his hands. Immediately, two girls each entered carrying a jar, then came before them and peeled off the sealing cloth, revealing the transparent liquid inside.

Name: Gajia Magic Potion

Quality: Green

Introduction: A Magic Potion that, when applied to the body, allows you to isolate the aura you emit for a short period of time. The villagers of Buyelu Village named it after her to commemorate her as her final work.

{Note: This Magic Potion is ineffective against Transcendence! }

Yage pointed to the jars and introduced them: "You two, do you remember the magic our mages used when we approached the monster nest earlier? We used this Magic Potion as a medium to activate it at that time."

Zhao Yuxin had wanted to pocket it directly, but remembering she had just promised to research plants or Magic Potions capable of shielding perception using her own abilities, she felt a bit embarrassed to take it.

Zhu Zhiquan saw what was on Zhao Yuxin's mind, so he took a deep breath and said: "Ev... everyone, just... just by... by relying on... on this, it's... a bit... looking down... on people, isn't it!"

After hearing Zhu Zhiquan's words, Yage clapped his hands again, and then two Militia members carried a crate into the room. The two Militia members opened the crate, and cylinders as thick as thighs were laid out before them.

Name: Spiral Basalt Gun

Quality: Blue

Introduction: Crafted using a special method, it also features peculiar runes. Its powerful firepower is enough to make even a Supernatural Being sit down and calm themselves upon seeing this thing.

Seeing this weapon, Zhao Yuxin coughed lightly and said with a look of hesitation: "In that case... it's not impossible, but what if we encounter danger? I'm afraid we wouldn't even have time to react; what use would strong firepower be then?"

Yage frowned inadvertently, his voice still polite: "What is difficult about that? I will arrange for two people to send a piece of equipment to your vehicle."

"Alright, Village Chief, we will definitely complete the mission!" Zhao Yuxin saluted excitedly.

Yage waved his hand again, and immediately someone helped Zhu Zhiquan and the others move the items to the carriage. Zhao Yuxin held Zhu Zhiquan's arm and asked: "Village Chief, can we go now?"

As soon as Yage nodded, Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan out of the room. Watching the two outsiders leave, an Elder immediately suggested: "Village Chief, should we kill them after finding a new residence?"

"Scoundrel!" Yage said in a towering rage, "If I kill the heroes of our village, how will the villagers look at us!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." that Elder immediately shut his mouth.

Yage stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the villagers outside, his gaze becoming increasingly firm.

At this moment, beside the Tricycle, Zhao Yuxin's eyes glowed with gold as she looked at the items being moved. Besides the two items seen earlier at the Village Chief's, a steel plate was also being carried into the carriage.

Name: Magic Resistant Steel Plate

Quality: Green

Introduction: A steel plate capable of resisting a full-force blow from a Supernatural Being; its unique patterns can increase resistance to Magic Power.

At this time, Zhu Zhiquan jumped out of the carriage and said to Zhao Yuxin: "Azhao, our Tricycle can be upgraded now. To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's have their mages help cover it up."

"Okay~" Zhao Yuxin agreed immediately and found a few mages to open up a small room.

Before driving the Tricycle in, Zhao Yuxin said to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone, we are going to upgrade our vehicle first. Once the upgrade is finished, we will go scout the path~"

"Sure, go ahead and upgrade."

"Stinky girl, you guys are too stingy, you won't even let me, Lao Ka, take a look!"

"It's fine, safety first. It's all the same if the little girl scouts the path after the upgrade."

………………

The mages performed a semi-enclosure treatment on the exit, ensuring it could not be seen by others while still guaranteeing their breathing.

Inside the room, the Ice Cream Cactus and the Durian Warrior stood behind Zhao Yuxin, while Zhu Zhiquan was in charge of presiding over this vehicle upgrade.

When he pressed the upgrade button, the system immediately popped up a screen. On it were three upgrade directions and images.

The first image looked full of a technological feel; even though it was still in the shape of a Tricycle, the streamlined structure of the vehicle body and the silver tires with a structure where the outer shells overlapped like a lobster made one feel it was full of technology.

The second image had starlight surrounding the Tricycle as if there were sprites, the vehicle body was embellished with colorful stripes, many flowers and plants were blooming on the roof, and the tires were surrounded by cloud-like mist.

The third image had a glazed feeling in its exterior appearance, embellished with seven-colored clouds. At the end of the carriage, a pair of tail fins extended to both sides, and there were things similar to thrusters at the bottom of the vehicle.

Around it were cloud-like Floating Cannons with their ends painted in seven colors, the tires were emerald green with complex patterns, and flowers and plants were blooming all around.

Below these three images, it was labeled: Technology, Magic, and Magic-Technology Coexistence route choices.

Technology Route: This route focuses on technological products. After choosing this route, vehicle speed and the performance of Vehicle Components can be increased. However, it will result in the inability to equip some Car Ornaments, and the vehicle's Magic Power transmission efficiency will decrease.

Magic Route: This route takes Magic Power as the Core, which can improve the vehicle's Magic Power transmission efficiency and the performance of Car Ornaments, but the vehicle's speed is slow and some Vehicle Components cannot be equipped.

Magic-Technology Coexistence Route: Inherits the advantages of both technology and magic; the vehicle's overall performance is relatively comprehensive, but the upgrade difficulty is greater, requiring the collection of the necessary conditions for both magic and technology.

Zhu Zhiquan sent the three options and information to Zhao Yuxin. After Zhao Yuxin finished reading the three pieces of information, she couldn't help but bite her finger subconsciously.

Outside, Yage, having learned that Zhu Zhiquan and the others had sealed themselves in a room to upgrade their vehicle, stood by the wall pacing back and forth.

At this time, a bald Elder with a gray beard came to his side and questioned: "Yage, they won't just take the benefits and hide inside without coming out, will they!"

Yage paused, turned to him, and smiled: "Elder Moge, you can't say it like that. These two outsiders fought side by side with us before; there's no reason they would break their word."

Elder Moge exhaled a puff of hot air from his nose and said unhappily: "Then what? What if everything they did before was just to stabilize us, and then they wait for an opportunity to escape? Perhaps they are using some special means inside to leave!?"

Hearing Elder Moge's words, the people around also began to discuss it heatedly.

"The Elder is right, they might know some magic to trick our things away."

"Hey, Lao Ka, I remember when you were talking to them, they looked a bit strange? Do you think they might have been teleported to below us from somewhere?"

"Go, go, go! How would I, Lao Ka, know these things! Let's just wait for them to come out!"

……………

Just as everyone was discussing, Zhao Yuxin's voice came from behind the wall: "Everyone, you can tear down the wall now~"
