What if I'm a Bad Artist? I Lie Down and Win with a Divine Brush

After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...

Chapter 372 Trade-in

Sure enough, Yoo Yoon-yeon found another painting in Clinton's private yacht.

The painting still depicts a white courtyard, surrounded by dark and deep seawater, which is much dimmer than the red coral area.

"It's a bit like... a teleportation point in a game." Cheng Xu stared at the courtyard for a moment, expressing everyone's thoughts.

However, clues are scarce, and it seems difficult to glean more information from these paintings beyond considering them as a game-exclusive speed-up bonus.

At this time, Xi Zhongcang and his group returned, bringing back not only scattered cultural relics, but also a number of relatively intact water-bomb cannonballs.

Cheng Xu looked at the burly, scarred man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. It wasn't until the scarred man asked Xi Xi in a simple and honest tone if she could come along, and led everyone to express their loyalty to Xi Xi one by one, that Cheng Xu felt a little more at ease.

He noticed a sincerity and simplicity in the scarred man's eyes, suggesting he meant no harm.

"Just call me Liu Ke!" The scarred man was very talkative, with a loud and infectious voice. Before long, he became one of the group, and the distance between them instantly shortened.

Xi Zhongcang observed silently from the side. He felt that Liu Ke had not followed the crowd at all. He was not only serious and responsible, but also got along very well with others. Such a person was very suitable to play a coordinating role in the team.

He believes that with Liu Ke around, communication within the team will be smoother and interpersonal relationships will be more harmonious.

Xi Xi didn't really like having too many people in the team. She didn't know much about the members of Liu Ke's team, and she always felt a little uneasy.

However, since Li Zhongmin and Su Qing were also in Liu Ke's team, Xi Xi's tense thoughts relaxed a lot.

She trusted Li Zhongmin and Su Qing's character completely. The information she heard from them about the Scarface Man's team gave Xi Xi a better understanding of the team and increased her trust in them.

In the end, Xi Xi nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Liu Ke and his group did not hesitate at all and immediately confessed all their assets to Xi Xi.

The cultural relics they collected through collective efforts are the six-piece set of the Mayan artifacts, which have the added ability of "utilizing old items".

This is also one of the key factors that has enabled Liu Ke's team to come this far.

The skill has the ability to "trade in old for new," allowing you to transform three old items into brand new ones each day.

In this way, for a team like Liu Ke's, which is not particularly strong, they can rely on salvaging underwater waste and collecting cheap second-hand goods from the trading hall as their main source of funding.

Not only can it enrich the team's supplies and equipment, but it can also resell the "new items" to earn survival points to buy useful supplies.

"Great! That's wonderful!" Mr. Cheng slapped his thigh, feeling a surge of satisfaction. He had just been lamenting the state of those damaged ships, but now he finally had a solution.

Xi Xi accepted Cheng's father's suggestion and then started chatting with Su Qing. Su Qing was still the same as before, no different from the gentle, resolute, and meticulous woman Xi Xi remembered.

She knew everyone in Liu Ke's team very well, so she told Xi Xi about the recent situation one by one.

As Xi Xi listened, she secretly pondered the distribution of cultural heritage.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to some cultural legacies related to basic attack capabilities, Clinton's side also acquired the most important Sumerian civilization.

Furthermore, Clinton possessed a total of eight pieces of the Sumerian set, suggesting that the previous owner was a special person with Sumerian blood.

Unfortunately, Xi Xi's side does not have such bloodline, but the eight-piece set plus the four-piece set from Cheng Xu's family can just make two six-piece sets.

Thus, in addition to having Cheng's father wear the six-piece set as originally planned, Xi Xi also generously gave one to Liu Ke's short and plump aunt.

I heard that this short, plump auntie was originally a farmer, efficient and experienced, and fully capable of taking on the task of ripening plants.

As for the others, Xi Xi decided to observe them for a few days before assigning them accommodations. Her primary task was to solve everyone's accommodation problem.

The uncles and aunts in Liu Ke's group were stunned. They had never imagined that one day they would be able to live together as a family on a luxurious submarine! This life was not only not worse than in their original world, but it was even more comfortable!

Not only that, Cheng Xu also converted some of Clinton's pleasure submarines into various entertainment venues, such as indoor parks, indoor playgrounds, libraries, card rooms, and cinemas...

Today, Xi Xi's team has become a mobile underwater community, complete with all kinds of facilities and protected by Xi Xi's all-seeing guardians. It has everything from food and accommodation to safety, entertainment and comfort, and is perfect in every aspect!

The puppet manatee thus dragged the entire "chopsticks picking" team, shuttling through the underwater ruins day and night, saving even the manpower of a driver!

The short, plump aunt was indeed skilled in planting. She supplemented fertilizer, reducing the amount needed, and worked with Mr. Cheng to categorize the plants according to different soil types and plan the planting order. In the end, it was more effective than Clinton's previous direct fertilization, greatly saving expenses and increasing output!

These days, besides hunting with Li Jinshao, Cheng Xu has also become Liu Ke's shadow. With no worries about food and supplies, the two of them have started searching for treasures in the underwater ruins using their skill.

Aside from some nonsensical "antiques," what they are most proud of is that, after several days of tireless effort, they have finally succeeded in transforming the last submarine into an internet cafe and game arcade!

Life was affluent and comfortable. Everyone had their own responsibilities, and with more people, the workload was much easier to divide among them.

Surprisingly, no further "accidents" occurred in the days that followed.

Xi Xi gradually became familiar with Liu Ke and his group. They were like neighbors living in the same community, meeting each other every day on various public recreational boats.

One day, Xi Xi, along with Sally Man and the Liu sisters, sat in an entertainment boat, leisurely enjoying popcorn and watching an old movie.

As the movie ended, the sisters got up and left, still wanting more. Just as they stepped out of the theater, Xi Xi suddenly noticed something and walked to the porthole.

These days, this underwater ruin has remained unchanged, consisting of nothing but buildings. It poses no threat whatsoever, but it is indeed boring and desolate.

At this moment, Xi Xi was surprised to see a tall tower standing majestically in the ruins in the distance!

That tall tower, solemn and majestic, stood out among the buildings... and even looked somewhat familiar.
