Chapter 227
Zhao Yuxin asked with some trepidation: "Ajiu, what you bought is..."
Zhu Zhiquan did not answer, because during the time Zhao Yuxin was speaking, he had already traded for a large batch of seeds and some experimental equipment, and immediately fell into a pause.
Zhao Yuxin also froze immediately, even her breathing hitched, fearing that she would cause Zhu Zhiquan to miss the trading time.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhiquan only paused briefly before continuing to type the word "engine" into the search bar of the projection screen.
Afterward, a large number of engine blueprints appeared on the screen, and Zhu Zhiquan browsed them at an astonishing speed before locking onto his targets for trade.
The moment the blueprints were in hand, the trading time ran out, and they both felt the world spinning; when they came to their senses, they found themselves in a forest.
"Welcome, players, to the Magic Miasma Jungle world. There are countless plant-type monsters here. If you are not careful and cautious, you will become their rations. I hope you can survive here for seven days."
The system announcement ended, and Zhao Yuxin lowered her head and said softly: "Um... Ajiu, I'm sorry. I... I..."
Before she could finish, Zhu Zhiquan stroked her head to comfort her, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Even so, Zhao Yuxin kept muttering: "If I had just traded right away, who knew that damn system wouldn't display the trading time? Otherwise, we definitely could have..."
Suddenly, Zhu Zhiquan pressed a finger to her lips, then said in a delicate voice: "It's okay, next time we'll just buy quickly."
Zhao Yuxin wanted to say something more, but suddenly heard Xuebao's cries, so she had to swallow the matter.
The two held hands and turned toward the source of the sound, discovering that their Tricycle had deviated about five meters from their position after being teleported; perhaps it was the suddenness of the event that made Xuebao feel uneasy.
Zhao Yuxin waved and shouted: "Baobao, don't be afraid, we're here!"
"Wu~ wu~" Xuebao heard Zhao Yuxin's voice, immediately responded, and looked toward the position where Zhao Yuxin's voice came from.
The two quickly crossed the distance and returned to the carriage to put the items they had bought to the side.
Just as they returned to the carriage, Zhao Yuxin immediately noticed small vines approaching the area.
Zhu Zhiquan keenly sensed her abnormality and immediately went to the driver's seat to leave the scene.
The Tricycle drove out only a few meters, and the bumpy road almost made Xuebao vomit up yesterday's lunch.
After listening carefully and confirming that there was no immediate danger nearby, Zhao Yuxin forced herself to stay awake to check the harvest they had acquired since yesterday.
First were the blueprints bought today; the first blueprints Zhu Zhiquan bought were for two different types of armor.
One armor blueprint is called Barbarian Saint Armor, and its effect allows the wearer to have four shields surrounding them, lasting for five minutes with a two-hour cooldown.
The other is called Water Swallow Battle Armor, which allows the wearer to have +5 to all attributes underwater, and increases the recovery ability of wounds while underwater.
Next is a piece of protective armor, mainly to improve the Tricycle's defensive capabilities, primarily reducing Magic Power damage.
Afterward, Zhao Yuxin's gaze fell on the cabinet-sized machine; because it was a finished product, she could only look at the information popped up by the system.
Name: Magic Power Conversion Engine Fuel Type
Quality: Blue
Introduction: This is an engine exclusive to the Magic Route, capable of converting fuel into Magic Power, with a conversion efficiency of 30%.
"So this is also an engine, then what about this blueprint? Forget it, let's look at this air pipe too." Zhao Yuxin picked up an engine blueprint.
Name: Ramjet Energy Gathering Engine Blueprint
Quality: Blue
Introduction: This engine can provide the vehicle with a faster starting speed, and the vehicle's speed can be increased by 30 kilometers.
Materials: Level 2 Metal 25 units, Chip 3 units.
Name: Magic Energy Acceleration Pipe
Quality: Purple
Introduction: An acceleration pipe that can increase the vehicle's speed by 50 kilometers per hour for a short time, lasting 50 seconds, with a 2-hour cooldown.
"Hmm, these are all good. System, craft and install these Vehicle Components!" Zhao Yuxin finished installing these Vehicle Components and checked the upgrade conditions for the Tricycle again.
Name: Basic Hybrid Tricycle v6
Maximum cruising speed: 50+3+30 (the numbers after the plus sign are the Vehicle Component bonuses)
Introduction: A hybrid tricycle that combines technology and Magic Power technology, capable of using both technology and Magic Power. At the same time, its powerful performance can erase the negative effects caused by previous equipment.
Upgrade conditions: v6 Exclusive Vehicle Component 3, Technology Exclusive Vehicle Component 1, Magic Exclusive Vehicle Ornament 1, Electronic Parts 5 units, Chip 5 units, Magic Wood 5 units.
"It seems our Tricycle is about to meet the upgrade conditions. Ha~ Ajiu, do you want to sleep a bit more? I'll put out all the plants, and then let Xuebao drive."
"Wu wu~" Xuebao heard it was being asked to drive and immediately grabbed Zhao Yuxin's arm to act spoiled.
"What's wrong? Suddenly don't want to drive?" Zhao Yuxin subconsciously touched its head, only to find that the flower on top of Xuebao's head had borne fruit.
"Wow! Baobao, you finally bore fruit! Come, let Mommy see." Saying this, Zhao Yuxin brought over the research equipment piled in the carriage and began to record this important moment.
"Wu wu..." Xuebao helplessly accepted Zhao Yuxin's inspection, thinking in its heart when it could get Mommy to play games with it.
Along the way, Zhu Zhiquan drove the Tricycle and encountered many strange plants, and there were many animal remains around these plants; there were even many trees with animal skeletons embedded in them, appearing exceptionally eerie.
"Azhao, throw some meat out and see how these plants react."
"Wait a moment, I'm recording for Baobao! Today is the first time Baobao has borne fruit, I have to record it properly."
Zhu Zhiquan didn't say anything about this and could only silently drive the car forward.
Soon, Zhao Yuxin yawned and threw out a piece of smoked meat, and Zhu Zhiquan also stopped the car at the right time to observe what would happen to the smoked meat.
"It's coming, over there." Zhao Yuxin was the first to discover that a tree was problematic and immediately pointed out the direction.
Zhu Zhiquan looked in the direction she pointed, and could see the roots of a tree quietly approaching the smoked meat. Not only that, the two soon discovered that the surrounding trees, grass, and flowers were all restless.
However, some plants closest to the smoked meat did not move, even though they could get food just by reaching out; needless to say, not all plants in this forest were problematic.
"It seems this forest is worth studying. Maybe it can give me new inspiration and let me create new valuable plants." Zhao Yuxin rubbed her hands, her previous fatigue swept away, her eyes filled with longing for new plants.
Zhu Zhiquan: "No rush, let's recover our state first and ensure our bodies are at their peak before researching."
Zhao Yuxin: "Okay, Baobao, you take over for Daddy."
Xuebao: "Wu...???"
Zhao Yuxin: "What kind of expression is that? Sigh~ fine, fine, if you don't want to drive, then don't. At worst, I'll try to give these plants a show of force."
