Chapter 68: Obtaining the Core I

"Diviner? What kind of thing is that?"

"Oh~ this Diviner, he was in the same world as me in the last round, and because he was there, my companions and I were able to come here."

"In the last round, you and I were in different worlds; let me tell you, this Diviner's Divination ability..."

Hearing the three words "Diviner," the high-ranking members of the various Player Groups present who had been in the same world as Zhu Zhiquan and his companions began to explain it to one another.

This allowed many of them to understand what this so-called Diviner was; of course, there were also those who remained skeptical of the Diviner's talent.

Zhao Yuxin also spoke up at this moment: "Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not; at the very least, I have great trust in the Diviner from our previous world."

Mo Xincheng looked at Zhao Yuxin, who did not seem to be lying, and asked: "Alright then, Yangguang Xujie, how long will your teammate need to finish healing?"

Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin seized the opportunity to say: "How should I put it? Our healing item not only takes a long time, but the healing effect isn't great either. Plus, my teammate was severely injured in the previous battle; I estimate he doesn't even have 30% of his health left."

"That's simple. Our Merchant Group has a statue that can heal, and the effect is quite good. We can lend it to you to use." At this moment, the Regiment Leader of the Merchant Group stood out voluntarily.

Zhao Yuxin bowed to him and said: "Thank you. I will bring my teammate over to find you in a moment. But may I ask how to address you?"

The Merchant Group Leader smiled and said: "I am the Merchant Group Leader, Lin Yu. The statue is right on my Tricycle. After the meeting, I will send someone to guide you."

Mo Xincheng clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

Mo Xincheng said solemnly: "Since the player who is your so-called Diviner was so reliable in the previous world, then we will try to believe it for once. If they aren't as powerful as you say, you will be held fully responsible!"

Zhao Yuxin gave her word, and afterwards, the group began to discuss some details. Zhu Zhiquan, who was in the shadows, also returned to his own Tricycle.

Not long after, Lin Yu sent someone to take Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan to his Tricycle to receive treatment. Before going, Zhu Zhiquan deliberately used Buli to cover his face to prevent being seen by the Black Scorpion Group.

The two followed the Merchant Group member to Lin Yu's Tricycle, where Lin Yu was standing with a man.

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan and the others arrive, Lin Yu introduced: "This is my Deputy Regiment Leader, Qin Poshan, who is also a player who was matched with me on the first day of the game."

Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan shook hands with him, and then Zhao Yuxin introduced him: "This is my teammate; his online name is Taiquan Xiao Zhu. You can just call him Xiao Zhu."

Seeing them constantly using Buli to cover their faces and only using their World Channel online names for address, Qin Poshan couldn't help but feel a bit dissatisfied: "Why do you keep covering your faces and only give online names? Isn't that a bit impolite?"

Zhao Yuxin apologized with a smile: "It's not wrong to be careful when out and about, right?"

"You..."

"Poshan, let it go."

"Hmph!"

"We won't say anything else; please, come in."

Lin Yu led the two into the carriage. Inside, supplies were neatly arranged on both sides, and a small statue dressed as a doctor was placed in the center.

Name: Healing Statue

Quality: Blue

Introduction: Can heal a designated target, capable of rapidly restoring all of the target's injuries; can be used at most 3 times per day.

Under Qin Poshan's operation, the statue emitted a soft light that enveloped Zhu Zhiquan. Zhu Zhiquan felt a warm current surge through his entire body, and his health instantly returned to 100%.

Lin Yu: "Now that your health is fully restored, would you like to rest for a while?"

Zhu Zhiquan shook his head, his eyes full of excitement. He was about to speak, but Zhao Yuxin cut in first: "Let's talk about it this afternoon. We'll take the lead then."

"Alright then, we will launch the attack after the afternoon."

After agreeing on the time, Zhu Zhiquan and the others returned to their Tricycle. Zhao Yuxin's first priority was to draw a Magic Array in the vehicle to produce more plants to cope with the upcoming battle.

Zhu Zhiquan was responsible for taking out dry rations for Zhao Yuxin, while the Ice Cream Cactus, after eating a portion of fertilizer and ice cream, retreated comfortably into its sleeping bag—though it was unclear if the sleeping bag would be damaged.

In the afternoon, all players drove their respective Tricycles, preparing to enter the room again to battle the Stone Statue Knight.

"Noble Goddess, this time I have brought you so many good things; can you provide a bit more shield?" After praying to the Guardian Goddess Statue, Zhao Yuxin filled the fuel tank and sat in the driver's seat to calm herself.

"Mm~" The Ice Cream Cactus on the side didn't understand why Zhao Yuxin had to kneel to a statue, but it still prayed to the Guardian Goddess Statue in a similar fashion.

The Guardian Goddess Statue received their prayers, and its energy immediately reached four hundred points.

As Zhao Yuxin drove the Tricycle into the room, the stone statues in the room awakened once again and charged toward the direction of Zhao Yuxin and the others.

Swish, swish, swish~

The Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter fired Crossbow Bolts in succession. One by one, the Magic Arrays of the stone statues were hit, instantly turning them into a pile of powder.

Other players rushed over to expand the advantage, while Zhu Zhiquan jumped off the Tricycle holding a Xuangang Spear to engage the surrounding stone statues.

Some of the other players also jumped off their vehicles to fight alongside Zhu Zhiquan. In this battle, everyone knew the weakness of the stone statues, and in just a short moment, they smashed all the stone statues, including the Stone Statue Knight, to pieces.

Because these stone statues could be restored infinitely, the leaders of each Player Group could only arrange for players to specifically smash the bodies as the stone statues were restoring.

Mo Xincheng saw that the situation was under control and instructed everyone: "Everyone, let's follow the plan for now. Let's rest for a bit and let Yangguang Xujie and her team continue to take the lead. By the way, let's see where this Stone Statue Knight actually hid the Core!"

Everyone rested, and since the Stone Statue Knight had been destroyed in the recent battle, everyone silently waited for the Stone Statue Knight to restore itself.

Time passed slowly without anyone noticing. One minute... two minutes... At first, everyone thought the restoration time had become longer because the Magic Array had been attacked, but nearly ten minutes passed, and the Stone Statue Knight still hadn't restored.

Furthermore, it wasn't just the Stone Statue Knight that hadn't restored; even the other stone statues hadn't restored, which made many people feel puzzled.

"Strange? According to the previous situation, even if the Magic Array was attacked, these stone statues would always restore. Why has the restoration ability of these stone statues failed?"

"Yeah, it's been so long and they still haven't restored. Could it be that they've reached their limit?"

………………

Facing everyone's confusion, Zhao Yuxin speculated: "If my judgment is correct, these stone statues are all powered by some energy source, and the Magic Array on the stone statues is just an external receiver, so it's easily destroyed.

But after we discovered this weakness, the entire scene was controlled by us, and the real Stone Statue Knight discovered this problem and cut off the energy supply to the stone statues, so these stone statues are no longer restoring."

"What! You mean the Stone Statue Knight we controlled was fake? Then where is the real Stone Statue Knight? Where are we supposed to find it?"

"Are you stupid? The real Stone Statue Knight must be in that room. As long as we go in and find the real Stone Statue Knight, we can leave this place."

"Silence!" Mo Xincheng interrupted the discussion and then said solemnly: "Since the real Stone Statue Knight is not here, we will enter the room to explore. However, we must still arrange for some people to stay here to prevent any accidents!"
