Chapter 34: Selling Antibiotics

Xiaowan was the first to scramble up and turn around to ask, "Is everyone alright?"

"I'm fine!"

"I'm fine too!"

"Then if everyone is fine, let's hurry and leave." After Liu Jie finished speaking, she pedaled lightly, though she felt that every step was extremely strenuous.

But now was not the time to dwell on this; whether for her own safety or to avenge Xiaowan, she had to leave this bridge first.

Boom!

Another explosion sound came; Zhu Zhiquan blew up the last mechanism in front of him, and Zhao Yuxin also pedaled with all her might because of this. Their Tricycle swooshed across the narrow bridge and the coverage area of the Sandstorm.

"Huff, puff~ Finally out~ So tired!" Zhao Yuxin lay on the handlebars, not wanting to move. Zhu Zhiquan came to the driver's seat and carried her to the carriage, while he himself pedaled hard to leave quickly.

Zhao Yuxin stretched, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Behind them, Liu Jie and the others also quickly passed the bridge. Xiaowan impatiently called out, "Hurry and join us to chase down those two people in front!"

The female player who had lost her younger sister crossed her arms and said, "Why should I?"

"Yeah! My teammate sacrificed themselves in vain because of this idiot, and I'd like to ask who is paying for this resurrection item!"

"Damn it @#$#, what are you saying!"

"What, you got a problem with that!"

Watching this group of people blaming each other, Liu Jie and Xiaowan quietly pedaled their Tricycle, preparing to leave.

But their Tricycle had suffered great damage, and it made noise every time it moved; before long, they were surrounded by others again.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yuxin woke up from the carriage. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the stars of the day and Zhu Zhiquan sleeping beside her.

Zhao Yuxin turned on her side to look at him. A wild wind blew from time to time on the Desert Highway, carrying sand onto her skin, which had been tanned dark by the sun.

Zhao Yuxin stared infatuatedly for who knows how long before Zhu Zhiquan groggily sat up. Zhao Yuxin straightened her back in a flash, her body facing away from Zhu Zhiquan, her face feeling a bit hot.

Zhu Zhiquan looked up at the starry sky and asked, "Azhao, what time is it now?"

Zhao Yuxin said in a somewhat shy voice, "I don't know, h-how about this, I'll ask on the World Channel." Having said that, Zhao Yuxin asked for the time on the World Channel.

Soon, Zhao Yuxin replied, "It's 8:30 in the evening, the Explorer Challenge has already started long ago. Ajiu, are we still going to participate now?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Are those who stayed at the Oasis participating too?"

Zhao Yuxin: "Yes, it's said that many of them have gained quite a lot now, but quite a few players have been injured. Although the Bangdai stopped the bleeding, I don't know if they will get infected.

Sigh~ If only someone could open up some medicinal herbs now, then we could make Antibiotics."

"No matter." Zhu Zhiquan lay lazily in the carriage, "Just ask a little on the World Channel, won't that do? Even if there aren't any, it doesn't matter."

"It's just that if the wound is relatively large, the effect of just a Bangdai is useless, right? After all, you also know that this game is still very cruel."

Zhao Yuxin nodded, "That makes sense, but you mean we aren't going to explore, right?"

After receiving confirmation from Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Yuxin crafted some Sewing Thread in the crafting interface and listed it on the Trading Channel, then went to the World Channel and shouted, "Attention, players!"

"I have Sewing Thread for sale here. Whether it's for making clothes or for temporarily stitching up wounds, it's a pretty good choice."

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Sewing Thread? @Yangguang Xujie, are you sure? Can this thing really stitch up wounds? What if it gets infected?"

Yangguang Xujie: "Regardless of whether it gets infected or not, if you have a large open wound, using only a Bangdai is useless. After all, without stitching the wound, how can you guarantee the Yùhé time? If something happens during the Yùhé period, wouldn't you die anyway?"

Cold Knight: "@Yangguang Xujie, what you said makes some sense, but I still choose to let my teammates find a chance to resurrect me."

Yangguang Xujie: "Then what if your teammate also runs into trouble? It's better to take a gamble. Let me tell everyone this: I have the blueprint for Antibiotics here and am willing to provide an Antibiotics processing service. Has anyone found any medicinal herbs?"

Caoxie Meimei: "I have medicinal herbs here, but I want to ask, what is the fee for the processing service?"

Yangguang Xujie: "Currently, we can only accept payment of two units of medicinal herbs, as we don't have a reserve of raw materials."

Caoxie Meimei: "Okay, I've already traded four units of medicinal herbs, give me two portions."

Seeing the food-trading doll spit out four units of medicinal herbs directly, this made Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan feel surprised; this time, the food-trading doll actually didn't demand food!

"Perhaps it was stuffed from eating at the Oasis earlier," Zhu Zhiquan guessed. However, the two didn't pay much attention to it, and Zhao Yuxin immediately made two portions of Antibiotics and traded them over.

That player indicated on the World Channel that they had received the Antibiotics, and more players who had collected medicinal herbs began the processing service with Zhao Yuxin.

It was just that only a very small number of people found medicinal herbs, and most people bought Sewing Thread. But Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle was almost full, and Zhao Yuxin could only screen the trading partners.

"Glass, Buli, rubber... we don't know how many of these things we've opened from Material Boxes. Let me look at other things first."

"This V1 Vehicle Expansion Blueprint can increase the volume and capacity of the vehicle. Although it will reduce the speed by 1 km/h, let's take it."

"Flowerpot Blueprint? That's fine too, maybe we can find seeds later."

"Hmm? Zhu Zhiquan, you actually dare to slack off! Hurry up and get to work, did you hear me!"

"Still daring to dawdle! See if I don't beat you to death! Hurry up!"

………………

By 11:30 at night, the players returned to their Tricycles one by one. The appearance of Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle had undergone certain changes. First of all, the vehicle's size was larger, and the glass on the vehicle cover had been replaced with Tempered Glass.

In their crafting interface, new crafting recipes had been added: Flowerpot, Grappling Hook, Dingtang Sword...

Besides that, their equipment also had Wrist Guard and Skirt Armor added, further strengthening their combat power.

Zhao Yuxin also found the time to set up a pot and make two bowls of pumpkin millet soup; the ingredients were naturally exchanged on the Trading Channel.

"Ajiu, come, you and I will each have a bowl, drink this, and after we finish, we'll go to sleep." Zhao Yuxin revealed a sweet smile and handed a bowl to Zhu Zhiquan.

The two sat together in the carriage, enjoying this warm late-night snack. The aroma of the pumpkin millet soup permeated the night wind, dispelling some of the desert's chill.

That night, Zhu Zhiquan only felt that Zhao Yuxin was very beautiful, and before he knew it, he slowly moved closer to Zhao Yuxin. Zhao Yuxin herself did not push him away; she still lowered her head like a shy flower, waiting for Zhu Zhiquan to pick her.

When Zhu Zhiquan held Zhao Yuxin in his arms, the Tricycle shook violently, and the wind in the desert shyly hid away.

By the time the chickens in the Micro Poultry Breeding Platform crowed and the scattered clothes were scorched by the sun, the two were still sleeping soundly in each other's arms.
