Chapter 194: Special Item

Lin Yifan himself never underestimated people in the world, but today he still underestimated this little girl.

Although she is only 13 years old, her scheming and methods actually reached this extent; it shows that between the two siblings, the one calling the shots must be her.

So, who exactly was the former 'sexy little wildcat'?

That remains to be investigated!

However, although Su Xiao xi used Lin Yifan, he actually wasn't that angry.

Put bluntly, things in this world are you using me using you; she uses Lin Yifan, and Lin Yifan is no different in using her.

They are merely for achieving one's own purposes; who is nobler than whom?

However, Su Xiao xi's talent is indeed somewhat interesting; being able to peek at others' personal information is not important; what matters is that she can discern Maggot Human Bone from the information.

Although Lin Yifan's talent is also very strong, and he even has dual talents, when facing the disguise of Maggot Human Bone, he can only rely on his sixth sense.

However, the sixth sense always has uncertainty; for example, this time, his sixth sense deceived him again.

So, if it were truly possible to make Su Xiao xi one's own, it would not be a bad asset; however, this little girl's reality is simply too much, and it's unknown whether she can be subdued.

After thinking, Lin Yifan quietly sent a message to his few close friends.

"Do you know if there is any item that can earn others' loyalty and absolutely will not betray?"

As soon as he sent that message, Ruan Qingtan was the first to reply: "What do you want such an item for? Could it be that you've taken a liking to some outstanding person, wanting to bring them under your control, but fearing they might betray?"

Li Yifan also did not hide it, and calmly replied:

"I encountered a little girl whose talent is somewhat interesting, but her temperament is a bit unstable, so I want to try an item."

"Ruan Qingtan: 'Oh, that's how it is.'"

"After a moment, Ruan Qingtan's message came again: 'I currently don't have such an item in my hand, but this week my talent has refreshed; if you need it, give me the highest-level Treasure Chest you have, and perhaps I can help you open the item you want.'"

Lin Yifan thought of Ruan Qingtan's talent, and indeed he could accomplish that.

However, regarding Ruan Qingtan's Talent Count for this week, he wants to use it to obtain another kind of item.

An item that can form a team.

Although it's not yet certain whether such an item exists, Lin Yifan feels that it must exist.

Since he wants to build his own small team, such a team-forming item is indispensable; if he could obtain it earlier, he could gather members earlier and develop together.

He also still yearns to build a wall and create a safe manor for himself.

Moreover, the survival energy of this period has also made him clearly realize that, judging by the difficulty of building a wall, relying solely on himself to construct a manor is absolutely not an easy task.

Furthermore, since the distance between the major Survivors' Shelters is shrinking, the chance of encountering other Survivors will greatly increase.

Shelters can block nocturnal creatures at night, increasing Survivors' safety.

However, when facing fellow Survivors, Shelters are almost impartial, meaning everyone can enter.

Then, once one goes out to gather supplies, the Shelter is very likely to be taken over by others.

So it's still better to raise a team and leave defensive forces inside the Shelter, so that one can rest easy.

Therefore, Lin Yifan is somewhat hesitant.

Su Xiao xi is indeed talent, but is it really worth him delaying a week's time to issue a mobilization order for the team?

While Lin Yifan was hesitating, the two Maggot Human Bone imposters posing as 'Su Tian hao' were also completely annihilated.

Only two Treasure Chests were left on the spot.

What surprised Lin Yifan was that these two Treasure Chests were actually both blue Treasure Chests.

You know, the blue Treasure Chests he has obtained so far are only a few; aside from those given as Disaster Mission Rewards, the process of obtaining the other few blue Treasure Chests has been quite arduous.

Who would have thought these two Treasure Chests would be so easily obtained, but having Treasure Chests is always a good thing.

So Lin Yifan also had no hesitation, directly picked up the blue Treasure Chest beside him, then prepared to cross the river to also pick up the Treasure Chest on the opposite bank.

At this moment, the river water has receded, so crossing the river is not difficult either.

Lin Yifan turned his head to look at Su Xiao xi and said:

"I plan to cross the river first to pick up that blue Treasure Chest on the opposite bank, and by the way check your Shelter; maybe there are clues about your brother left inside."

Of course, that last sentence is pure nonsense.

But Su Xiao xi is also a smart person; knowing that the initiative is not in her hands right now, she obediently nodded and said:

"Lin Yifan brother, you just make the decision; I'll listen to you."

Lin Yifan naturally knew she was being coy, but he didn't mind, and extended his hand to her, saying:

"Let's go! We'll wade across the river."

"Wade across?" Su Xiao xi immediately panicked, stepped back half a step with a tense face, and pleaded with a pleading face:

"Lin Yifan brother, this water is quite deep; I can't swim, I will definitely be swept away by the river water; why don't we think of another way?"

Lin Yifan raised his eyebrows, smiled meaningfully, and said: "You said you'd listen to me about everything, didn't you? Rest assured, I will guarantee your safety."

"Are you this scared because you doubt my ability, or doubt my character?"

"Otherwise, just stay here by yourself; wait for me to cross the river, finish things, then come back to find you."

He actually wanted to see whether this girl was just putting on an act or truly afraid of water.

A thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl, if her acting could really be this good, then if she cannot be made one's own, it's better to deal with her early.

How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside one's pillow?

Lin Yifan would absolutely not allow someone who could threaten him to loiter beside him.

Meanwhile, Su Xiao xi's face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

If it were someone else here, they would probably already feel sorry for her!

Too bad, the person he encountered is Lin Yifan.

In such a perilous world, he has no inclination to pity others.

Su Xiao xi probably also realized that whether she played the victim or feigned pity, it was useless, so she could only compromise and say:

Then I'll just go with you! I'm staying here alone, I'm scared!

"Looks like you really do trust me." Lin Yifan grabbed her arm with a half‑smile and said:

"Don't worry, since I promised to help you find your brother, I will definitely keep my word."

After saying that, he grabbed him and jumped straight into the water. Since obtaining the 【Ten Thousand Waters Source】 the last time, whenever Lin Yifan goes underwater, a bubble naturally appears around him, allowing him to move freely in the water.

He had thought the Ten Thousand Waters Source was gone, and so this underwater ability was gone too.

But he just discovered that the river is very shallow, at most up to his knees, so he wanted to wade across.

But what he didn't expect was that, although the Ten Thousand Waters Source was gone, after he went into the water, wherever his body touched the water, a bubble still formed around him, preventing the water from soaking him at all.
