Chapter 86: Statistics and Separation

After Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin withdrew from the Player Group war, they were kicked out of the Player Group by Jiugong Xizi and placed on a wanted list; if it weren't for the fact that she didn't have photos of Sun Zi and Ling Xi, they would have ended up on the wanted list too.

Zhao Yuxin looked at her own photo and the lively World Channel, unable to help but express her confusion: "How was this photo made? Could someone have secretly taken a picture with a camera?"

At this moment, the Game System provided an explanation: "The camera function is built into the system, but it requires the player to actively apply for it."

Hearing the system's explanation, Zhao Yuxin nodded in understanding, and then she began to look around.

At this time, there were two tricycles on their right, with Sun Zi and Ling Xi sitting in the driver's seats of each, respectively. The two tricycles were parked one behind the other in the Volcanic Tunnel, with the tricycle driven by Sun Zi in front.

Sun Zi Fu Fu walked out from the driver's seats of the two tricycles, and the Ice Cream Cactus also ran out from the cargo bed of the rear tricycle.

This fellow had been staying in Zhu Zhiquan and the others' cargo bed and hadn't come out; now that the danger had passed, it ran out looking aggrieved, wanting Zhao Yuxin to hold it.

Meanwhile, in the wall to their left, the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine drilled out from the soil, only it looked even more disheveled.

Zhao Yuxin stroked the Ice Cream Cactus and said: "Ajiu, we've delayed for so long now, it's time to get back on the road."

Sun Zi nodded, affirming Zhao Yuxin's words: "You're right, I feel it's quite hot here; perhaps the magma isn't far from us, so it's better if we leave sooner."

Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin nodded and entered their tricycle with the Ice Cream Cactus; the Ice Cream Cactus wanted the two of them to hold hands, but since one person had to drive the tricycle, the Ice Cream Cactus could only hold one.

The Green Leaf Burrowing Vine wrapped around the Ice Cream Cactus, entering the cargo bed along with them.

Looking at the child-like Ice Cream Cactus, Ling Xi felt moved and asked Zhao Yuxin: "Um, could you make one of these Ice Cream Cacti for me? I see this little thing can cool down surrounding objects and is very cute, so I want to raise one."

Zhao Yuxin, who had originally intended to enter the driver's seat to drive, stopped immediately upon hearing Ling Xi's words and agreed, "Sure, but my Magic Power is insufficient right now; how about I make one for you tomorrow? By the way, the plants on your vehicle are yours to keep as well."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and silently entered the cargo bed of her own tricycle.

Zhu Zhiquan, meanwhile, was checking the gains acquired inside the vehicle, which included countless basic materials and survival supplies, 20 units of Chip, 70 units of Level 2 Metal, 40 units of Gasoline, and 50 units each of electronic parts and electronic components.

There were four blueprints: Microwave Oven, Sunglasses, Holy Water Beast Statue blueprint, and 11 mm Homogeneous Steel Plate blueprint. Although he didn't get the nutrient solution from the Black Rope Bandit Group Regiment Leader that accelerates the recovery of HP and Magic Power, it was still quite good.

Name: Holy Water Beast Statue blueprint

Quality: White

Introduction: Having this can increase the power of your vehicle's water-type Vehicle Component by 50% and reduce preparation time by 25%.

Materials: 10 units of wood, 5 units of Level 1 Metal.

Name: 11 mm Homogeneous Steel Plate

Quality: White

Introduction: An external Vehicle Component that can withstand machine gun strafing; it is recommended to upgrade the vehicle to v6 before crafting, otherwise speed is -1 for every level below that.

Materials: 15 units of Level 2 Metal, 30 units of Level 1 Metal.

Zhu Zhiquan immediately learned and crafted the two blueprints; soon, the cargo bed and vehicle canopy were covered by the 11 mm Homogeneous Steel Plate, but because their tricycle was only at v4 level, it caused the speed to be reduced by 2 km/h.

And inside the cargo bed, there was now a unicorn standing on water, only the top of its horn was forked, and the water surface its hooves touched was frozen.

Zhu Zhiquan looked at the upgrade requirements and found they had been met, but thinking that too much time had been wasted today, he temporarily postponed it.

"Mm~ mm~" The Ice Cream Cactus tugged at Zhu Zhiquan's arm, hoping that Daddy could play with it, but unfortunately, the Ice Cream Cactus couldn't speak, and Zhu Zhiquan didn't know what it was saying.

"Mm~ mm~" Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan didn't understand its meaning, the Ice Cream Cactus began to dance around.

After quite a while of explaining, Zhu Zhiquan finally understood what the Ice Cream Cactus wanted to express. But the tricycle was only so big; what should they play?

After thinking it over, Zhu Zhiquan decided to draw with the Ice Cream Cactus in the cargo bed; although the Ice Cream Cactus didn't understand what drawing was, it found it interesting to watch Daddy take out a pen and draw patterns on a piece of Buli.

So it took Zhu Zhiquan's pen and scribbled wantonly on the Buli.

Zhu Zhiquan was drawing with the Ice Cream Cactus when Zhao Yuxin's voice came over: "Ajiu, do you think we should stop when we sleep later? I feel like we've fallen behind on our progress quite a bit."

Zhu Zhiquan: "That makes sense. I'll be responsible for keeping watch tonight. By the way, dinner hasn't been prepared yet; how about we just eat some dry rations today?"

Zhao Yuxin: "Fine, but it's my turn to keep watch tonight. By the way, the plants on the vehicle canopy haven't been brought back in yet, have they? They hope I can move them from the top into the cargo bed; the tunnel is too narrow along the way, and their roots and stems can't take it."

Zhu Zhiquan, who had just picked up a canned good, felt a bit embarrassed hearing this and moved the plants on the vehicle into the cargo bed, then asked curiously: "You can communicate with them?"

"Yes, but I can't actively communicate with them. I really wish I could actively communicate with them." Zhao Yuxin wore an expectant expression.

Zhu Zhiquan silently climbed onto the roof of the vehicle to move those plants into the cargo bed; at this time, Sun Zi Fu Fu's tricycle stopped, and Zhao Yuxin was also forced to stop.

Subsequently, Sun Zi walked out from the cargo bed, went to the front, and returned to between the two vehicles holding a Green Supply Box; after Sun Zi opened the supply box, he pulled out a blueprint and a grass carp from inside.

Zhu Zhiquan got out of the vehicle to look at that blueprint and found it was a blueprint for a Large Fish Tank; Zhao Yuxin, from the driver's seat, also saw the blueprint clearly and shouted to Sun Zi: "Ajiu, should we take this blueprint?"

Zhu Zhiquan nodded and looked at Sun Zi; Sun Zi spoke to Ling Xi once before replying: "We want this blueprint too. How about this, let's bid; whoever offers more takes it."

Zhao Yuxin was about to agree, but the Volcanic Tunnel began to tremble; Sun Zi quickly moved all the opened supplies onto the vehicle, and Zhu Zhiquan also quickly returned to the cargo bed, but it still didn't affect the bidding between the two parties.

In the end, the blueprint and the grass carp were bought by Sun Zi for one hen and five eggs; Zhu Zhiquan had intended to put the hen into the Micro Poultry Breeding Platform, but at this moment, Zhao Yuxin suddenly slammed on the brakes, almost causing Zhu Zhiquan to take a big tumble.

At this time, the two vehicles were separated at a fork in the road by a huge rockfall, and Zhao Yuxin had no choice but to drive the tricycle toward another passage.

Zhao Yuxin opened the panel and sent a message to Ling Xi, "I'm sorry, Sister Ling Xi, the earthquake just now caused the passage on your side to collapse, and I can't get over there now."

Ling Xi replied quickly: "It's fine, you guys be careful. Let's meet again on the seventh day."

"Okay, goodbye." Zhao Yuxin closed the panel and carefully drove the tricycle to avoid the dangers encountered at any time.
