Chapter 215

"Damn it! This group of players is truly a bunch of trash!" Wang Ce looked at the messages on the World Channel and paced back and forth in anger.

Standing before him were all the members of the Nine Platforms Immortal Group; the total size of the Nine Platforms Immortal Group was actually quite decent, totaling nearly eighty people, currently standing in six separate squads.

Among them, only the squad of two people was the squad that Zhu Zhiquan and the others had clashed with before; after all, only those two had neither confronted Zhu Zhiquan and the others head-on nor stepped on a Pinecone Mine.

At this moment, Wang Ce stopped pacing, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes, "Zhu Zhiquan, since you are so capable yet refuse to join my Player Group, don't blame me!"

……………

On a certain suburban highway, Zhu Zhiquan took over the driving task from Xuebao and drove along the winding road.

Inside the vehicle, after Zhao Yuxin finished replying to her friends' messages one by one, she once again proceeded with her own research.

Now she was fully channeling her Magic Power, modifying a reed in front of her. The Magic Array under her feet constantly emitted a dazzling red light, changing along with the surge of Zhao Yuxin's Magic Power.

Boom!

"Ugh~ Failed again!" Zhao Yuxin looked at the notes she had recorded and reflected, "Where exactly is it going wrong?"

Thump, thump, thump~

Xuebao was happily bouncing a basketball to the side; the sound of the ball constantly hitting the floor of the vehicle made it difficult for Zhao Yuxin to concentrate, leaving her unable to think at all.

"Baobao, come here. Let's not play with the ball anymore. How about we do a puzzle instead?" Zhao Yuxin picked up a large-sized puzzle and handed it to Xuebao, who was bouncing the basketball.

Xuebao stopped its movements, and upon seeing Zhao Yuxin's messy hair, it seemed to realize something and immediately turned around to rummage through boxes and cabinets. Before long, Xuebao brought an ice cream and handed it to her.

Zhao Yuxin smiled lightly, took the ice cream, and gently stroked Xuebao's head. Xuebao also kept panting and would lick her face every now and then.

"Hee hee~ My Baobao is so well-behaved!" Zhao Yuxin was very fond of this ice cream cactus that had been following them; when she first created this type of plant, she hadn't expected it to have emotions.

"I wonder if the Durian Warrior and the Hook-Lock Tree Demon will try to have emotions?" As Zhao Yuxin was saying this, she suddenly had a new idea, so she ran back to the Magic Array to conduct a new round of research.

"Ugh~" Xuebao didn't understand what Mom was doing; it only knew that the strange pattern had already exploded on her countless times, and it could only watch silently from the side.

Before they knew it, the sun was about to set. Zhu Zhiquan parked the vehicle on the side of the road, walked carefully past Zhao Yuxin, and then picked up a barrel of Gasoline to prepare for refueling.

Xuebao also took out a pile of kitchenware and set it on the side of the road. Looking back at the two people who were still busy, Xuebao tried to start a fire just like Mom and Dad did when they cooked.

After finishing the refueling, Zhu Zhiquan saw that Xuebao had actually already started a fire and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Immediately after, he walked up to Xuebao and, like an old father, reached out to stroke its head with gratification.

Xuebao immediately let out two happy cries, then panted like a dog again.

"Hahaha~ It's done! It's finally done!" At this moment, Zhao Yuxin's voice came from inside the vehicle, and then she pulled out a brand-new plant, though its appearance was similar to the Durian Warrior.

The only difference was that this newly created plant had no Spike, not a single one.

Zhao Yuxin coughed lightly twice and introduced, "Ajiu, this is the new generation of Durian Warrior I created; it's an improvement based on the original Durian Warrior.

Now this Durian Warrior not only has greater strength but also possesses a certain level of intelligence and can think about some things independently, so we won't have to keep giving it instructions all the time!"

The previous generation of Durian Warriors couldn't think independently? A moment of confusion appeared on Zhu Zhiquan's face, but he didn't dwell on it and listened quietly to Zhao Yuxin's explanation.

Zhao Yuxin noticed that trace of confusion in Zhu Zhiquan and explained with a smile, "Yes, the previous generation of Durian Warriors did not possess the ability to think independently; this is something I discovered while doing research in my spare time.

Moreover, this generation of Durian Warrior not only has an increase in its normal-state strength, but its core has also been greatly improved. After entering the Red Warm State, the core will not become overloaded, which used to lead to the death of the Durian Warrior."

As she spoke, the second-generation Durian Warrior immediately entered the Red Warm State; its body surface appeared orange-red, with nothing else changing from the previous generation.

Zhao Yuxin: "By the way, now this Durian Warrior can autonomously exit the Red Warm State; there's no need to worry about them being scrapped after using their ultimate move."

While they were talking, Xuebao had already started to set up the pot and cook. A rich aroma wafted into their noses, which made the two of them curious: where on earth did this Xuebao learn to cook? They didn't remember ever teaching it!

Zhao Yuxin hunched her body and quietly went behind Xuebao, wanting to see more clearly.

At this time, Xuebao was focused on stir-frying the food in the pot; although it paused a few times every now and then, one could still see that Xuebao was making a delicious meal based on its memory.

Zhao Yuxin watched quietly from the side, while Zhu Zhiquan, after finishing the refueling, cleared a patch of open ground and spread out a blanket to make it convenient to sit down and eat.

After Xuebao finished the first dish, Zhao Yuxin was the first to taste a bite, then she immediately lowered her head and frowned, but then slowly looked up and smiled, "Baobao is amazing!"

"Ugh ugh~" Xuebao cried out happily twice, hopped over to Zhu Zhiquan, and presented its results to him.

Zhu Zhiquan took a bite, a flicker of an imperceptible frown crossed his face, but he still nodded gently at what Xuebao had made.

"Ugh~" Having received the approval of Mom and Dad, Xuebao was as happy as a child.

Zhao Yuxin stroked Xuebao's head from behind and whispered in its ear, "Remember to use less salt next time."

Xuebao nodded heavily, turned around, returned to the vehicle to take out new ingredients, and prepared to cook the next dish once more.

Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin exchanged a look, after which Zhao Yuxin had the second-generation Durian Warrior demonstrate other functions.

For example: freely retracting the Spikes on its body, language communication ability, and absorbing Magic Power from the air to restore energy, etc.

Zhao Yuxin: "Right now, this Durian Warrior can only say the words 'Received' and 'Standing by', but I will teach it slowly in the future. Also, do you know why our Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon cannot be used?"

Zhu Zhiquan pricked up his ears to listen, his eyes fixed on her, waiting for the other party's explanation.

Zhao Yuxin spoke slowly: "That is because there is no Magic Power here at all, so many of our devices that rely on absorbing Magic Power from the air have no reaction!"

Zhu Zhiquan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked, "Then what other equipment of ours requires Magic Power?"

Zhao Yuxin tilted her head, thought for a good while, and then said, "Hmm... besides the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon, it seems only the Magic Power Core Collector needs it."

Zhu Zhiquan looked up at the setting sun, pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems we need some Vehicle Components specifically for Magic Power."
