Chapter 211: Temple Crisis

Along the way, the people in the two vehicles did not have any conflict, and they arrived at a temple safely just like that.

Inside and outside the temple, there were seas of believers everywhere, and the air was filled with the scent of incense and candles, adding quite a bit of sacred atmosphere to the temple.

Zhao Yuxin, with Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao, stood in front of a rather popular stall, waving her arms continuously to call the Zhou siblings over.

Zhou Xuemei observed her surroundings cautiously and discovered that there were quite a few players mixed into the crowd; perhaps out of respect for the gods, not a single player here had a conflict with anyone else.

Zhu Zhiquan was also observing his surroundings cautiously, and he discovered that quite a few players active near the temple were secretly observing them. No! Strictly speaking, they were secretly observing him!

Sensing that these players were not quite right, Zhu Zhiquan secretly installed a Crossbow Bolt onto his Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow, ensuring he was ready to engage in battle at any time.

"Big sister, let's finish praying quickly and leave; this air quality makes me feel very uncomfortable!" Zhou Yongchang covered his nose, very dissatisfied with the scent of the temple's incense and candles.

"Alright." Zhou Xuemei pulled him over to stand in front of Zhu Zhiquan and the others, and then Zhao Yuxin stuffed a handful of incense into her hands. After the two sides agreed on a time to meet outside, they parted ways.

After Zhao Yuxin distributed all the incense in her hands to Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao, she said to them: "You two go into the temple and pray, especially you, Ajiu! Pray to the Buddha more to get rid of the baleful aura on your body!"

Zhu Zhiquan nodded in agreement, and Zhao Yuxin entered the temple alone to see where the monks had put their scriptures and classics.

"Let's go, Baobao, we're going in." Zhu Zhiquan pulled Xuebao into the temple, and as soon as they entered, they saw a red Merit Box placed right in the center, with a QR code on it.

Zhu Zhiquan didn't pay much attention to it at first, taking Xuebao to pay respects to the surrounding Buddha statues. Watching the way Zhu Zhiquan prayed, Xuebao learned to do it in a decent manner.

After praying to the Buddha statues in one hall, Zhu Zhiquan took Xuebao to another main hall, but after entering the next hall, another red Merit Box was placed in the very center, with a QR code identical to the previous one stuck on it.

Zhu Zhiquan merely glanced at it, took Xuebao to finish praying to the Buddha statues in this hall, and then headed to the next hall, while simultaneously observing his surroundings carefully.

The temple was filled with believers and monks everywhere; it was impossible to distinguish which people were players.

However, he always felt that there were pairs of eyes staring at them nearby. He opened the World Channel and took a look, discovering that not only had the information on Zhao Yuxin and Xuebao been updated, but even the Zhou siblings had appeared on it.

Zhu Zhiquan closed the panel, held his breath, and focused his attention; the Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow hidden on his arm also entered a ready-to-fire state. Throughout the entire process of praying to the Buddha, Zhu Zhiquan did not dare to slack off.

However, until they had finished praying to most of the Buddha statues in the temple, no players had made a move. So, he simply set his mind at ease to pray, too lazy to pay attention to the players' gazes anymore.

After praying to multiple Buddha statues inside the temple in succession, Zhu Zhiquan soon discovered one thing: why was there a Merit Box in front of every Buddha statue? Wasn't this supposed to be a place of purity? Why were there so many worldly objects?

Zhu Zhiquan didn't dwell on it; besides, even if he did, he couldn't change anything. Influenced by the Game System, he was afraid he couldn't even kill a fellow human left on Blue Star, so how could he have the heart to care about these things?

Just as they finished praying and were preparing to leave, Zhu Zhiquan saw several monks driving a cool sports car and parking at the temple entrance, with several pretty girls in their arms.

"Baobao, remember not to learn from them!" Zhu Zhiquan pointed at those monks and warned Xuebao.

"Mm~" Xuebao nodded ignorantly, its two little eyes blinking incessantly.

A few minutes later, the Zhou siblings walked out of the temple, and Zhou Yongchang took the initiative to step forward and strike up a conversation: "Hey you, do you dare to fight me one more time?"

Seeing this brat being insolent, Zhu Zhiquan almost rolled up his sleeves to go at it with him. At this moment, Zhao Yuxin came out holding a stack of scriptures, and Zhou Xuemei also pulled her brother back, so Zhu Zhiquan held back his temper and did not fight him.

"Ajiu, take these quickly." Zhao Yuxin handed the scriptures to Zhu Zhiquan, "From now on, these scriptures must be read once before going to sleep!"

Watching Zhu Zhiquan respectfully take the scriptures, Zhou Yongxu couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha~ You're actually afraid of your wife! Hahaha~"

Suddenly, Zhou Yongxu felt a chill wash over him. He turned around to see Zhou Xuemei looking at him with a smile on her face. This seemingly ordinary smile was just a very plain expression to outsiders, but in Zhou Yongxu's eyes, that was his big sister at her most terrifying.

In order to appease his sister's anger, Zhou Yongxu obediently retreated behind her, lowering his head as much as possible.

Seeing that his annoying brother had finally quieted down, Zhou Xuemei then said goodbye to Zhu Zhiquan and the others: "That... we still have some things to do, so we won't be leaving with you."

Zhao Yuxin smiled and exchanged some polite pleasantries with her, and then Zhou Xuemei pulled her brother away.

After the siblings left, Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan toward the direction of the Tricycle, with Xuebao following obediently behind them, its eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment.

Upon returning to the Tricycle's cabin, Zhao Yuxin immediately ordered: "Ajiu, read through these scriptures right now, and remember, no slacking off!"

Looking at the large pile of scriptures in his hands, Zhu Zhiquan felt like dying, but in front of Zhao Yuxin, he didn't dare to say a single word of refusal! He found a spot and flipped through them one by one.

Zhao Yuxin said to Xuebao again: "Baobao, you are in charge of driving; remember, drive wherever it's wide!"

"Mm~" Xuebao happily ran to the driver's seat and drove the Tricycle back onto the road.

Watching them faithfully execute the tasks she had issued, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but say triumphantly: "As expected of me, keeping the whole family in perfect order!"

Just as Zhao Yuxin finished speaking, Zhu Zhiquan immediately clapped in coordination, further satisfying her vanity.

Beep beep beep~

Beep beep beep~

Several consecutive beeping sounds made Zhu Zhiquan frown; he didn't understand who could be looking for him at a time like this.

Immediately, Zhu Zhiquan opened the panel and switched to the Friend Channel, discovering that it was someone called the Regiment Leader of the Nine Platforms Immortal Group looking for him.

After choosing to accept, the other party immediately sent: "Hello, I am Wang Ce, the Regiment Leader of the Nine Platforms Immortal Group. I think your strength is decent, and I hope you can join us..."

Zhu Zhiquan didn't look at the subsequent messages and backhanded the other party into his blacklist.

Zhao Yuxin also noticed Zhu Zhiquan suddenly spacing out and couldn't help but guess: "Ajiu, was someone looking for you just now?"

"Yeah." Zhu Zhiquan nodded in admission, then told her about refusing Wang Ce's invitation to join their group just now.

Originally, Zhao Yuxin didn't pay much attention to Zhu Zhiquan refusing to join a Player Group, but when she opened the panel to switch the World Channel to the Trading Channel to buy some materials for research, she saw that the latest Bounty Order had been released.

Not only were there photos of her and Xuebao added to it, but a sentence had also been added below the Bounty Order: "If you kill the above three people, the bounty amount will be doubled."

At the same time, she pricked up her ears to listen and discovered that there were many more sounds of Tricycles driving behind them, and the World Channel was also mixed with many intense arguments from players, the content of which was basically messages about how to kill them or how to snatch their heads.

"Damn it! Ajiu, be on alert!" Zhao Yuxin hurriedly reminded Zhu Zhiquan, while she herself released various Combat Plants.
