Chapter 25: Angry Zhao Yuxin
Huangmo Meishijia: "Brothers, I have two pieces of good news for you. First, I've seen an Oasis; second, I've encountered a Green Material Box!"
Huahua: "What a coincidence, I've also encountered an Oasis and a Green Material Box, and I even opened a Duishou Qiehuan Ka from it; you can swap teammates with it!"
Duyan Chuanzhang: "Such a coincidence? Why have I also encountered an Oasis and a Green Material Box? What on earth is this Game System up to?"
Yangguang Xujie: "After my teammate and I entered the Oasis, we were attacked by monkeys and also opened a White Material Box. Is there anyone else like me?"
Gege de Xiao Siji: "Same here."
Loves Eating Sugar's Xiao Ju: "Same here."
……………
Zhao Yuxin looked at the messages on the World Channel, her expression turning grave. "Ajiu, be careful. There is something wrong with this Oasis."
After hearing this, Zhu Zhiquan observed his surroundings vigilantly, and the speed at which he pedaled the Tricycle slowed down significantly.
After traveling for a distance, they discovered another White Material Box on a bridge.
"Ajiu, be careful. Those monkeys are hiding in the trees, preparing to ambush us." Based on the sound waves transmitting information, Zhao Yuxin poked her head out and aimed the Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow at the surrounding trees.
Zhu Zhiquan also stopped the vehicle and flipped onto the roof of the carriage. "This won't do. Azhao, I'll be responsible for protecting the Tricycle, and you be responsible for clearing out that group of monkeys."
"No way, why do I have to go?" Zhao Yuxin turned her head to the side.
Zhu Zhiquan picked up the Dagger Spear. "Alright then, if you're scared, just hide in the carriage."
"What did you say! What kind of talk is that!" Zhao Yuxin jumped off the Tricycle and pointed at Zhu Zhiquan. "I can handle a few measly little skinny monkeys with my eyes closed. You just wait, I'll knock them down without even using the crossbow!"
Saying this, Zhao Yuxin climbed up a tree, preparing to deal with the ambushing monkeys, while Zhu Zhiquan went to the carriage, preparing to eat a self-heating hot pot.
"Stand still~ Don't run!!! Ouch! Was that you throwing a rock at me! Hey hey hey~ don't you run, you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it, right!"
Zhu Zhiquan rested his feet on the handlebars, watching Zhao Yuxin chase the monkeys back and forth in the trees. It was a pity there was no cola or sunflower seeds, otherwise, it would be even more enjoyable.
At this moment, a little monkey came to Zhu Zhiquan's side. The human and the monkey stared at each other. Zhu Zhiquan hugged the self-heating hot pot to his chest, refusing to let go even if he were to be scalded.
The little monkey looked at Zhu Zhiquan blankly, then ran back into the jungle and brought out some fruit. The human and the monkey stared at each other again.
…………
Zhu Zhiquan and the little monkeys were having a party on the Tricycle, but poor Zhao Yuxin was still panting as she chased the big monkeys, completely unaware that Zhu Zhiquan was eating, drinking, and having fun with the monkeys behind her.
"Tired……… I'm exhausted. A……jiu, do me a favor…… help me…… what is that smell?" Zhao Yuxin turned her head to look at the Tricycle, which made her freeze on the spot.
She saw a group of little monkeys sitting around the Tricycle, and Zhu Zhiquan was eating happily with them. A pile of fruit was laid out around them, and the self-heating hot pot nearby emitted an alluring aroma.
"Zhu! Zhi! Quan!" Zhao Yuxin was so angry her face turned bright red, and she jumped down from the tree. Her ferocious appearance scared the monkeys around Zhu Zhiquan into scattering and fleeing, leaving only Zhu Zhiquan shivering on the Tricycle.
Zhao Yuxin slowly approached, her eyes turning red, and she pointed at Zhu Zhiquan, scolding: "I was catching monkeys all by myself, and you were actually eating and drinking with these monkeys! Is this how you act as a teammate!"
Zhu Zhiquan said tremblingly: "Azhao, listen to my sophistry—no, explanation…… Ah! Don't hit me, stop hitting me! I was wrong, Azhao, oh ho ho!"
Ten minutes later, Zhu Zhiquan looked at the empty, finished boxes, feeling a bit aggrieved. Zhao Yuxin was roasting meat she had previously bought on the Trading Channel to treat all the monkeys to a meal. When Zhu Zhiquan cautiously reached for a banana, he was kicked away by Zhao Yuxin after she discovered him.
Zhao Yuxin picked up the banana and celebrated with the monkey troop. Seeing she had no chance to join the meal, she could only practice martial arts on the side.
Zhao Yuxin fed a piece of roasted meat to the food-eating doll to obtain a trade count, then bought five bottles of beer on the Trading Channel to share with the monkeys.
Seeing that the food-eating doll could eat, the little monkeys thought it was alive and picked up all sorts of food for it. The big monkeys were more interested in the beer, picking up bottles and drinking them in big gulps.
Soon, the big monkeys were all drunk, and Zhao Yuxin took the opportunity to state her request: "Can we take that Material Box away?"
The monkeys were confused and didn't seem to understand Zhao Yuxin's words. Zhao Yuxin pointed at the Material Box and kept gesturing. Some smart monkeys understood her meaning and brought the Material Box directly to her.
Both sides exchanged some more pleasantries, and Zhu Zhiquan and the others set off again, having also obtained a lot of fruit.
The two of them passing through the monkeys' ambush so easily made the person in charge of a certain space feel shocked.
The person in charge asked their subordinate: "How is the data for this space?"
Subordinate: "Judging from the current data, the audience's engagement is very high, and they are discussing whether other players can find this method."
The person in charge let out a breath. "It's good that there are no major problems; as long as it doesn't affect revenue, it's all fine. However, this also shows that our arrangements were not good enough."
"Yes, yes, yes."
………………
Gurgle gurgle~
"Azhao, it's been so long, you can forgive me now, right?" Zhu Zhiquan coaxed Zhao Yuxin while pedaling the Tricycle.
"Hmph!" Zhao Yuxin sat at the end of the carriage with her arms crossed, showing no intention of forgiving him at all.
Zhu Zhiquan stopped the vehicle, came before her, and said: "Azhao, you… you should forgive me now, right? Come, let's have a peach."
Zhao Yuxin took the peach, but still had no intention of forgiving him; she just turned around and fiddled with the food-eating doll that had been fed round by the little monkeys.
"Sister Zhao? Beautiful Zhao?" Zhu Zhiquan kept rubbing Zhao Yuxin's shoulders. "How about I do all the pedaling for the remaining two days?"
Zhao Yuxin still didn't react. Zhu Zhiquan had no choice but to continue coaxing: "Plus………… plus I'll cover the meals for these few days, and I'll wash your clothes?"
Zhao Yuxin spoke lightly: "The terrain here is mainly desert, where are you going to get that much water?"
"This………"
"Forget it, I can forgive you this time. But! Everything you just said, except for the clothes, you must do—do you understand!?"
"Understood, understood, I will definitely do it!" Zhu Zhiquan was as happy as a child, returning to the driver's seat to continue pedaling the Tricycle.
Zhao Yuxin opened the panel, switched to the World Channel, and asked inside: "Can any expert tell me what happens after going through two monkey attacks?"
A Jiuba Zhougong: "@Yangguang Xujie, is the expert that awesome? You've already gone through two monkey attacks? Can you tell us how you got through it? This group of monkeys is really too annoying."
Seeing someone asking for advice, Zhao Yuxin immediately coughed lightly and acted cool: "Sigh, it's actually very simple. When those monkeys surrounded us, I first knocked down the approaching monkeys all by myself."
"Then, my teammate and I threw bombs, and those monkeys were blown away in all directions. Seeing these monkeys run away, I didn't feel satisfied, so I took my teammate and chased them down until not a single one was left alive."
Gaoxiao Feizai: "The expert is awesome!"
Mai Shui Da Zhi Lao: "The expert is awesome!"
Loves Drinking Milk Tea's Little Princess: "The expert is awesome!"
