Chapter 23: Activity Conclusion

After a brief consultation, Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan chose the compressed biscuits, while Luo Jincheng and Luo Jinrui chose the beer.

Sun Zi: "Diviner, could you divine our fortune for what lies ahead?"

Luo Jincheng sat cross-legged, and within three seconds, he opened his eyes and said: "Great fortune, which means there will be no danger ahead, and we will even have a decent harvest."

Just as Luo Jincheng finished speaking, the system notification sounded: "Attention players, there are two hours remaining for the Corrupted Erosion City event."

Ling Xi: "I think we should finish exploring the entire basement first, and then we can return to the surface to celebrate."

Sun Zi chimed in: "My woman is right; we can celebrate in a little while."

No one had any objections to this proposal, and they continued to explore the Underground Laboratory. Along the way, they saw many cultivation chambers destroyed from the inside, and many doors were twisted and mangled.

After a long time, the group arrived in front of a large door. Although the door had scratch marks, the patterns on it were still visible; the pattern depicted a mother holding a child high to offer a Soul Sacrifice to a deity, and the deity appeared to be a sacred figure.

There was a rotary combination lock on the deity's forehead, and Zhao Yuxin leaned against the door to try and crack the code.

"How long do you think this girl will take to crack it?" No sooner had Luo Jinrui finished speaking than Zhao Yuxin opened the door.

Zhao Yuxin tilted her head with a look of pride, and Zhu Zhiquan, who was ignored, was grabbed by Zhao Yuxin the moment he entered the room.

"Ajiu, aren't you going to show some appreciation for my instant door-opening?" Zhao Yuxin looked at Zhu Zhiquan with a grave expression, her grip tightening continuously.

Clap, clap, clap~

Sensing the danger, Zhu Zhiquan hurriedly clapped his hands, attempting to muddle through.

"Hmph! You're sensible enough." Zhao Yuxin snorted coldly and turned to enter the room. The others followed, and upon entering, they saw a researcher who had long since turned into white bones.

Sun Zi and Ling Xi stepped forward to investigate together, and after searching the corpse, they found two blueprints.

Name: v1 Water Collector Blueprint

Quality: White

Description: This is an instrument that can gather moisture from the air, capable of collecting 3 liters of water per day.

Materials: 10 units of metal, 3 pieces of Buli, 1 unit of charcoal.

Name: Micro Plant Cultivator

Quality: Blue

Description: Allows plants to grow healthily while ignoring environmental changes.

Materials: 10 units of metal, 1 piece of Buli.

Luo Jinrui looked at the only two blueprints and was somewhat surprised, "How come there are only these two blueprints?"

Zhao Yuxin pulled on Zhu Zhiquan's arm and said: "Ajiu, how about we choose the v1 Water Collector?"

"Then we'll choose the Micro Plant Cultivator." Luo Jincheng said as he reached out to take it, which made Sun Zi very dissatisfied.

Seeing them choose the blueprints without any discussion, Sun Zi immediately tucked the two blueprints into his own arms, but was stopped by Ling Xi.

Sun Zi and Ling Xi exchanged a brief look, and ultimately chose to split the blueprints.

Zhao Yuxin and Luo Jinrui hurriedly took the blueprints they had locked onto, fearing the others might change their minds.

"Since everyone has received their benefits, Diviner, please trouble yourself to divine whether there is any need for us to continue exploring." Ling Xi said solemnly.

Luo Jincheng closed his eyes again and began the Divination. Soon, Luo Jincheng opened his eyes and said: "Let's go; there is nothing of value left in this Underground Laboratory."

Ling Xi summoned a Space Channel and called for everyone to return together. At this moment, Zhao Yuxin fiddled with her hair and said: "Um... I'm going to use the restroom first; I'll come out in a bit."

"Do you want me to help you with a Divination?" Luo Jincheng looked at Zhao Yuxin with a cunning expression.

Zhao Yuxin hurriedly waved her hand, "No need. I discovered it on the way thanks to my talent. Can Sister Ling pick me up when the time comes?"

"I can. Just send me a message in a while." Ling Xi left a Crescent Mark on the spot and was the first to enter the channel.

The others followed into the channel, leaving only Zhao Yuxin behind. However, Zhao Yuxin silently walked to a wall and dismantled it.

It revealed a small space containing three bottles of red potion and a blueprint.

Name: Corpse Potion

Quality: Green

Description: Allows a player to gain the Corpse Talent. This talent allows the player to consume any corrupted food, eliminates the need to drink water, and provides a comprehensive enhancement to all attributes after consuming blood.

{Note: This potion only has a 10% success rate for gaining the talent; if it fails, the player will turn directly into a corpse. }

Name: Antibiotics Blueprint

Quality: Green

Description: This is a life-saving artifact that can reduce your risk of death. Without it, would you dare to get sick?

Materials: 1 unit of medicinal herbs.

Zhao Yuxin learned the blueprint and put the three bottles of potion directly into her backpack. After resolving all this, Zhao Yuxin stood dazed for a while before calling Ling Xi to open the Space Channel.

"So fast?" Ling Xi felt a trace of surprise.

Zhao Yuxin walked completely out of the Space Channel, "Yes, because the place in the restroom wasn't far. By the way, what is Ajiu doing?" Zhao Yuxin also noticed that Zhu Zhiquan was waving a Dagger Spear, not knowing what he was doing.

Luo Jincheng walked over with a smile, but this smile made Zhao Yuxin feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"It's nothing; I just felt that a celebration needs a bit of atmosphere. I thought and thought but couldn't think of any program, but I suddenly remembered that Brother Zhu was very impressive with a spear in the basement, so we urged him to perform a spear dance for everyone."

After hearing Luo Jincheng's explanation, the doubts in Zhao Yuxin's heart lessened somewhat. Suddenly, Luo Jincheng said: "That, Ms. Ling Xi, please step aside; I have some matters to discuss with Miss Zhao Yuxin."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi very tactfully stepped aside.

Luo Jincheng leaned close to Zhao Yuxin and lowered his voice: "I know you had another harvest in the basement; don't hide it."

Zhao Yuxin was shocked inside, but she didn't show it. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Luo Jincheng sneered, "You probably don't want a third party to know, right? Give me one bottle of the potion, and I won't make this public."

"You!!!" Zhao Yuxin wanted to lose her temper, but thinking that this would make the situation difficult to control, she had to endure it. "Follow me."

The two went together to the back of a Tricycle. Before long, Luo Jincheng returned to his seat, satisfied. But as soon as he sat down, he felt a murderous aura. He looked up and saw that there was a hint of murderous intent in the spear techniques Zhu Zhiquan was performing.

Luo Jincheng had originally been worried that some accident might happen, but fortunately, Zhu Zhiquan never attacked him, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

"Good!!!"

"Great martial arts!"

After Zhu Zhiquan finished performing his spear techniques, he sat down next to Zhao Yuxin and leaned his face toward her ear, "What did you talk about with that Diviner surnamed Luo?"

"Eat first, I'll tell you in a while." Zhao Yuxin handed him a piece of roasted meat, and Zhu Zhiquan found it hard to say anything else, so he had to celebrate with the others, receiving a system announcement during their simple celebration ceremony.

"Attention players, the Corrupted Erosion City event has ended; the system will now teleport you along with your vehicles back to the highway."

A white light flashed, and Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan, along with their Tricycle, returned to the Desert Highway.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and a flock of birds streaked across the horizon in the distance; one of them collided with their Tricycle and died.

Zhu Zhiquan picked up the bird and asked, "Azhao, you can tell me what you and that Diviner surnamed Luo talked about now, right?"
