Chapter 16: Robbed?

"No!" Zhao Yuxin shouted as she ran toward Zhu Zhiquan, but unfortunately, Zhu Zhiquan collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing just as she was about to touch him.

"Ajiu! Ajiu! Zhu Zhiquan! Wake up! Don't sleep!" Zhao Yuxin arrived beside Zhu Zhiquan's corpse, ignoring the ribs protruding from his body, and patted Zhu Zhiquan's face, trying to bring Zhu Zhiquan back to life this way.

Unfortunately, no matter how she called out, Zhu Zhiquan would never wake up again.

After crying for a while, Zhao Yuxin finally calmed down. "Right! There's still the Material Box! Maybe this game has a Material Box that can open up something good to save Zhu Zhiquan!" Thinking of this, Zhao Yuxin went to the Material Box and opened it.

A white light flashed, and three items came out. She scanned them briefly, and one of the items made Zhao Yuxin's eyes widen.

Name: Resurrection Scroll v1

Quality: Blue

Description: This is an artifact that can resurrect your teammate! The shorter the time since your teammate died and the more intact their body is preserved, the higher the success rate of this scroll's resurrection!

Zhao Yuxin ignored the other two items and went straight to Zhu Zhiquan's side to use the scroll.

Soon, Zhu Zhiquan was sucked into the scroll by a beam of light, and a moment later, a system prompt sounded: "You have used Resurrection Scroll v1. Your teammate will be resurrected in one hour. Please do not let the ritual be disturbed!"

"Great, Ajiu can still be saved!" Zhao Yuxin slumped to the ground. "After that guy is resurrected, I must teach him a lesson! Making me worry so much! Hmph!"

"Right, there are still two items I haven't looked at." Zhao Yuxin ran back to where she opened the box to check the other two items.

Name: Tricycle Driver's Seat Special Cover

Description: This is a cover that can be installed on the driver's seat of a tricycle, providing the driver with a certain amount of protection and reducing damage from attacks and the influence of weather.

{Note: The tricycle must reach level v3 to install this item. }

Name: Supply Box Detector

Quality: White

Description: This is a magical detector that can help you precisely locate the position of Supply Boxes within a five-kilometer radius. Can only be used once.

Zhao Yuxin nodded. "This detector is quite good; I'll put it away first and go out with Zhu Zhiquan after he's resurrected. As for this cover, I'll let him carry it out!"

Zhao Yuxin put the detector away and picked up Zhu Zhiquan's Skinning Knife, preparing to dismantle the monster, but her peripheral vision caught a table with a notebook on it.

She walked curiously to the table and opened the notebook, which recorded the appearances of many monsters, with corresponding photos attached.

Humanoid Magic Scorpion (jpg): According to experimental data, this combination of human and scorpion is not very effective; for other test subjects, it only has the advantage of low breeding costs.

However, for mortals, its speed and power are quite dangerous, and with that scorpion tail and large pincers, it is considered a success overall.

"So this thing is called a Humanoid Magic Scorpion, but it feels a bit weak! Ajiu could kill a whole bunch of them by himself." Zhao Yuxin complained as she flipped to the next page.

Ao'ermoke (jpg): This test subject is a combination of human, mantis, and beetle. It has quite good offensive and defensive capabilities, but its mobility is poor.

Zhao Yuxin compared it to the monster lying on the ground and found it was exactly the same as in the photo.

"Ajiu died together with this thing, but it didn't even break the Fish Scale Armor. Are you sure this thing has good offensive and defensive capabilities?"

Zhao Yuxin kept flipping through the notebook when she suddenly heard two voices coming from the nearest sewer entrance.

"They're still over a hundred meters away; judging by the footsteps, it should be two players approaching here. No! I can't let them get close! Otherwise, they'll disturb Ajiu's resurrection." Zhao Yuxin picked up the Dagger Spear and ran back to the sewer.

Passing the corner, Zhao Yuxin shouted directly to the front: "The two of you ahead, this place has already been taken by us. Could you please go search somewhere else?"

The players who arrived were two girls. Seeing Zhao Yuxin, a woman, blocking them alone, they felt a bit of disdain.

One of the girls crossed her arms and said contemptuously: "Just you? You want to drive us away? You don't even know your own worth."

The other girl also chimed in: "Exactly, your name isn't written on this place, why should we leave?"

Gulp~

Zhao Yuxin spat, and the Dagger Spear in her hand trembled continuously. She said with a lack of confidence: "Please... please go search somewhere else first. Can we... can we finish our business first?"

"Heh~ You're not joking, are you!? Why should we wait for you to finish your business? Maybe by the time you finish, the things inside will have all been moved away by you!"

"Liu Jie, why waste words with her! Let's just grab her and force her teammate to hand over the items!"

"Makes sense." Liu Jie snapped her fingers, and a Magic Array appeared on the ground, from which three Humanoid Magic Scorpions crawled out.

Zhao Yuxin's mouth opened slightly; her soul left her body at this moment, and she could not move.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"

Three roars brought Zhao Yuxin back to her senses. The two sisters opposite couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths when they saw Zhao Yuxin's reaction. The other girl touched the wall lightly, and soon her entire body from her fingers turned bronze-colored.

Zhao Yuxin retreated repeatedly. "You! You guys! This isn't fair! Five of you against one of me!"

Liu Jie sneered: "In this game, there's no such thing as fair or unfair. Go, finish her!" The three Humanoid Magic Scorpions bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced on Zhao Yuxin, and the bronze-colored girl also rushed up quickly.

Zhao Yuxin slumped to the ground, shielding herself with her hands and shouting: "Wait a minute!"

"Stop!" At Liu Jie's command, the Humanoid Magic Scorpions and the bronze-colored girl all stopped.

After catching her breath, Zhao Yuxin explained: "Everything on my vehicle can be yours, and I can also give you everything I've collected this time."

"On your vehicle?" Liu Jie caught the keyword. "You damn liar! Your teammate is already dead!"

Zhao Yuxin: "That's right, my teammate is indeed dead, but I am using a resurrection item to bring him back, so..."

Slap!

The bronze-colored girl slapped her. "You bastard! You actually used such an important item; you really deserve to die!"

"Forget it, let's get the items first." Liu Jie grabbed Zhao Yuxin by her bangs. "Lead the way for us first!"

Zhao Yuxin led them into the secret room. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhu Zhiquan in the middle of resurrection and the vehicle cover. Zhao Yuxin took the initiative to pull the cover in front of them and asked: "You two, why don't you lead the way, and I'll help you carry it to..."

Bang!

The bronze-colored girl kicked and interrupted the resurrection ritual, and Zhu Zhiquan's corpse fell to the ground. A system prompt sounded in Zhao Yuxin's mind: "Resurrection ritual interrupted, one Resurrection Scroll v1 consumed."

Zhao Yuxin's eyes were red, and she bit her back teeth tightly. But she knew it wasn't the time to lose her temper, so she still said respectfully: "Could you two lead the way? Let's take this Vehicle Component up first."

Liu Jie raised her head arrogantly. "Fine, we'll take you to our tricycle first. Oh, right, don't try any tricks, you hear me!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Yuxin carried the cover with both hands and followed behind.
