The silver shuttle, resembling a silkworm chrysalis, sped along the endless highway.
Li Woke was right about one thing: his shop modified things really quickly.
From entering the shop to the completion of the modifications, the entire process took less than four hours.
Now they were on their way back.
The daytime in Zu'an was very short; it was only half past four in the afternoon, but the sun was already close to setting.
Xi Jian lay against the car window, expressionlessly watching the dense forest beneath the overpass.
"What are we going to eat after we pick up Hui Hui and Liu Liu?"
"Boss Li said there's a night market called Moonlight Lane that's quite famous."
"A night market! Yay! I'm going to spend a lot!"
I'm going to buy papayas to make papaya juice, milk stewed papaya, papaya stewed pork ribs, papaya stewed chicken, papaya stewed everything!
By then, I can definitely have a second growth spurt!
Thinking of this, Xi Jian felt much happier.
The scenery outside the window also looked more pleasant.
"What a big bug."
"No, it looks like a Train."
"So a Train can look like this? It's like a big pink worm."
A big pink worm?
"Let me see."
Xi Jian moved aside a bit, and Qi Xiao squeezed over, leaning against the car window.
This Train had twelve carriages, and its overall shape resembled a pink worm.
Each carriage had three round black windows on both its left and right sides, like spots on the worm's body.
This vehicle looks so familiar.
Oh my god, isn't this Kong You's Train?
I didn't see her in the group chat; when it docked this morning, the top-ranked person in the group chat was a level 48 old man.
Such a strange shape, yes, it's her!
"You go back first, I have something to do."
"Not going to the night market?"
"Go, wait for me to come back."
Qi Xiao stopped the vehicle, opened the back door, and jumped out.
Anyway, he had Anchor Point Retrospection and could directly teleport back to the Train.
Watching the car door close and the shuttle move away, Qi Xiao put on his Thousand-Changes Human Skin Mask and changed his appearance.
With the addition of the galaxy combat suit changing his clothes, in less than three seconds, Qi Xiao had completely transformed into a different person.
I hope it's Kong You.
Because he hadn't found a way to reliably get a follow-up account modification, Qi Xiao had been hesitant to upgrade.
If it was Kong You, he might be able to gather some information.
And also, about their disguise as special recruits to ambush the Order Heavenly Kingdom.
Under these circumstances, she still gave me a special recruit badge; either she knew my identity as a special recruit, or she wanted to kill me!
This matter must also be clarified!
Qi Xiao stepped on Nano-bugs and flew straight towards the Train.
In mid-air, Qi Xiao looked down and saw two men guarding beside the Train.
Oh my god, there are guards.
Qi Xiao continued to fly forward for more than three hundred meters, then chose a safe spot to land.
He pulled out his crimson dice and threw them on the ground.
Two, two, one, a total of five points.
Three dice quickly condensed into shape, and a four-legged beast, shaped like a dog, appeared.
It had a spiky tail, and five eyes circled its head, providing a 360-degree unobstructed view.
The Scarlet Beast skillfully moved through the forest, slowly approaching the Train.
Its pointed ears stood erect, simultaneously relaying the conversation between the two men by the Train to Qi Xiao in the distance.
"I didn't expect this to really be Kong You's Train."
"Aren't we going in to take a look?"
"Are you crazy? What if there are anti-intrusion mechanisms inside the vehicle? You wouldn't even know how you died."
"The Minister said everything waits until she gets here."
"We just need to guard here and not let outsiders approach."
"Tch."
"It's been so long, where's the Minister? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
"It seems Kong You's trace was found in Smog City, so the Minister went there first."
"Oh, oh."
One of them took out a portable electronic vaporizer, took a deep drag, and then smiled as he offered it to the other:
"Newly arrived egg flavor, want to try?"
"Forget it, smoke less of that stuff, it kills sperm."
"I don't even have a girlfriend, so I'm not afraid of that."
After saying that, he took a few more deep drags.
"Speaking of which, this forest is really eerie; the sun hasn't completely set yet, and it's already pitch black."
"This area is no longer within Pi City's range; it's considered the wilderness, so there are probably many mutated creatures."
"Minister, please come quickly, the sun is about to set."
...
Tsk, it's actually people from the Order Heavenly Kingdom; this is troublesome.
It really is Kong You's vehicle; they mentioned some Minister, so if I wait here, I don't know who will arrive.
Is there any way to get Kong You's Train away?
Maybe there are a lot of good things in her vehicle.
Qi Xiao gritted his teeth, consumed one hundred train coins from his jie bracelet, and upgraded it to Tier 2, Level 1.
"Unlocked one special slot."
"Currently, this slot can store one identical item."
Qi Xiao placed his hand on a towering giant tree beside him, and with a thought, he stored it in his jie bracelet.
This tree was more than half a meter thick, and after about four seconds, the tree suddenly disappeared.
It's not instantaneous storage; it requires some time?
Qi Xiao released the tree and picked up a small stone from the ground.
Instant storage.
Qi Xiao took out the stone and casually threw it away.
It seems the storage time is determined by the mass of the item being stored.
The greater the mass, the longer the time?
Then how long would it take to store a Train?
...
In a villa at Building 23, Xia Port District, Smog City.
Kong You had been guarding the greed holy grail here.
Because the greed holy grail was in an activated state, Kong You could not store it in her own storage tool.
As expected of a tool that can create an eight-level key, it is indeed miraculous.
After Jin Xuanya's afternoon of accompanying him to eat, drink, and sleep, Li Xiucheng was greatly satisfied.
The blood-dripping experiment was successfully certified, and the Heart of Love and Hate was also completed.
As the last crucial heart was sacrificed, the blood in the holy grail began to surge violently.
One could even feel a huge emotion erupting from the holy grail, and even Kong You had a momentary trance, with tears uncontrollably flowing from her eyes.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng, on the other hand, frowned deeply; he, who was usually smiling, was now filled with anger.
The ripple of that fluctuation did not last long, and the blood in the holy grail quickly returned to calm.
The blood that was originally about to overflow rapidly receded, condensing into a small, viscous mass that could even be picked up by hand.
It felt like a warm, soft slime.
"Heart's Blood, can open an eight-level treasure chest."
Key successfully created!
Kong You nodded and put away the mass of blood.
With the key created, the greed holy grail also exited its activated state.
Just as she was about to put away the greed holy grail as well, an arm-thick purple lightning bolt struck directly from the sky, forcing Kong You to jump back to avoid it.
"Kong You!"
Through the blown-out roof, a beautiful woman in a black cheongsam floated in the air.
She stood with her arms crossed, exuding an intimidating aura without needing to express anger.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng grinned, raising his hand to pull his baseball cap lower.
The person who arrived was his former superior, the strongest enforcer of Order—Donghai Zui.
