Chapter 289: The Fake Material Box

A giant monster's sole stepped onto Wang Ce, crushing Wang Ce along with his Tricycle into a meat patty.

At the same time, all members of the Nine Platforms Immortal Group received a system notification of the Regiment Leader's death, and the group immediately scattered like birds and beasts. As for avenging the Regiment Leader? That didn't exist!

After Gelina flew to Zhao Yuxin's shoulder to tell her the news of Wang Ce's death, Zhao Yuxin immediately sent messages to Zhu Zhiquan and Zhang Yu, and controlled the Five-Star Sword to carry the Tricycle into mid-air.

Soon, Zhu Zhiquan returned to the carriage with the Durian Warrior and the Hook-Lock Tree Demon, followed by the Tricycle of Zhang Yu and his partner flying out from the beast tide.

Once everyone was gathered, the two vehicles took the opportunity to land on a particularly large monster.

After landing, Liu Feng complained incessantly: "Oh my, what a pity. The food Xuebao made earlier was delayed by them, and in the end, it was just wasted like that."

Zhang Yu: "Isn't that right? The food Xuebao makes is both delicious and provides bonuses; who knows which monster it will be ruined by now."

"Mm-mm!" Hearing Zhang Yu's grumbling, Xuebao shook its arms, seemingly expressing its agreement.

Zhao Yuxin: "It's fine, we can just make it again, can't we? Come on, Baobao, let's go cook together."

Xuebao: "Mm~"

Liu Feng: "Speaking of which, where did our benefactor go? Could he be exercising in the carriage?"

Zhao Yuxin did not speak, but simply pointed a hand toward her own Tricycle carriage; at this moment, Zhu Zhiquan was crafting a large number of Five-Star Swords inside, while Gelina was responsible for sorting the materials spat out by the Food-Eating Doll.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu and Liu Feng finally understood that Zhu Zhiquan was just busy at the moment.

Without realizing it, the group had survived the beast tide crisis; during this time, aside from the risk of Plant Monsters, the only danger the group encountered on the giant monster was the threat from other players.

However, the strength of those invading players was nothing special; Liu Feng and Zhang Yu could solve more than half of them by joining forces, not to mention that Zhu Zhiquan and the others still had higher-end combat power they hadn't used.

By evening, Zhao Yuxin returned to the AD Shiyanshi to check the results of the research she had been conducting with Zhu Zhiquan.

On a table, pots of plants were secured by the branches of Snake Vine Creepers; these plants had a line dividing the area every three rows, making it convenient for Zhao Yuxin to observe them.

At this moment, in the rearmost area, the plants planted here had already grown to the height of a small finger, and Zhao Yuxin's gaze swept over these plants.

Name: Unnamed Plant

Quality: Purple

Introduction: A plant obtained by upgrading based on the characteristics of the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter by Zhao Yuxin. It not only far exceeds the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter in base stats but also carries cold air erosion when attacking.

Zhao Yuxin felt quite satisfied looking at the information of the plants in this area; after a brief thought, she tore a piece of paper from her notebook and wrote "Frost Shooter" on it.

"Alright, next I should create the plants that can increase physique." Zhao Yuxin came to a table with a Magic Array drawn on it, "I hope the next part won't fail my expectations."

Just as she was preparing to start her research, Gelina ran over in a hurry, but seeing that Zhao Yuxin seemed busy, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Gelina, is something the matter?" Zhao Yuxin turned around and patted her chest, saying, "If you have any problems, just bring them up; I guarantee I'll solve them for you!"

Gelina lowered her head and whispered: "Father said... said to remember to look at... the World Channel, he... he is afraid you will miss important information."

"Important information? Alright, I know." Zhao Yuxin immediately opened the World Channel.

Brother's Little Driver: "Everyone take note, please do not wantonly slaughter Plant Monsters, otherwise we will encounter the World Boss ahead of schedule."

Caoxie Meimei: "World Boss? Will this thing be very strong?"

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Can you explain in detail how strong this so-called World Boss is? I actually want to see what kind of things it will drop!"

Shamo Daheng Hengli: "Hmph, what do I have to fear from everything you've said?"

……………

"World Boss?" Zhao Yuxin sent a private message to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, you aren't thinking of asking me to approve you to go kill the World Boss, are you? Let me tell you first, no way!"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Azhao, I didn't say I wanted to challenge the World Boss right now either; I just wanted to let you know that we can't just casually catch monsters to study anymore."

Zhao Yuxin: "Hehe~ who doesn't know what you, this battle maniac, are thinking inside; in any case, you are not allowed to challenge any Plant Monsters without my permission, understand!"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Understood."

After Zhao Yuxin closed the panel, she found that Gelina was still standing in place, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is there anything else? Gelina."

Gelina slowly flew to her shoulder, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "I... I want to help you with your research."

"Little silly." Zhao Yuxin smiled and tapped Gelina lightly, "Do you even know these principles? And you want to learn."

"B-but..." Gelina lowered her head in shame, "But I can learn... I don't want you, Mother, to be here all by yourself."

Gelina's voice grew quieter and quieter, until in the end, almost only she herself could hear it.

Zhao Yuxin smiled and rubbed Gelina's head back and forth, her eyes full of affection for her. Looking at her pitiful appearance, Zhao Yuxin finally let her stay to help.

At the same time, Zhu Zhiquan and Liu Feng were each driving their Tricycles through the jungle, only to discover a Blue Material Box in the flower bed in front of them.

Seeing this, Liu Feng immediately jumped off the vehicle, preparing to open the Blue Material Box; at this time, Zhang Yu poked his head out of the carriage and said: "Baby, you must be careful, don't get ambushed by a monster."

"Mm, don't worry, I'll be careful." Liu Feng picked up a flashlight and shone it around the Material Box; after failing to find any sign of a monster, he quietly walked toward the Material Box.

Zhu Zhiquan also jumped off the vehicle, holding a Five-Star Sword, and followed behind him; until they reached the side of the Material Box, the two remained cautious.

Liu Feng scanned the surroundings carefully, and after confirming there was no danger, he reached out to open the Material Box.

Swish, swish, swish~

Suddenly, a large number of Vines stretched out from the bushes, tightly binding Liu Feng's limbs.

"Baby!" Seeing Liu Feng in trouble, Zhang Yu immediately grabbed his gear and rushed over to support him.

Zhu Zhiquan was just about to use his sword to cut these Vines, but he saw a giant eye suddenly open in the middle of the bushes in front of them.

Zhu Zhiquan realized something was wrong, and just as he wanted to retreat, a Vine had already wrapped around his leg. However, this monster's strength was insufficient; not only did it fail to stop Zhu Zhiquan, but the Vine was also snapped by him.

"Help! Save me!"

Hearing Liu Feng's cry for help, Zhu Zhiquan raised his hand and unleashed an Energy-Storage Slash, cutting all the Vines on Liu Feng's body to pieces.

Afterward, Zhang Yu happened to arrive below Liu Feng and caught him; just as he was preparing to thank Zhu Zhiquan, he discovered that Zhu Zhiquan had already chopped the monster into mincemeat.

But more importantly, the Blue Material Box was also gone, leaving only white bones all over the ground.

The couple was so scared they were sweating all over; finally, Liu Feng asked: "Benefactor, where is the Material Box? Did you open it?"

Zhu Zhiquan shook his head and pointed at the monster on the ground. The two were stunned for a moment, but soon realized they had seemingly been played by a monster, and they both kicked and punched the monster's corpse.
