Chapter 170
After receiving the gift from Zhou Qi, Tang Yu'an cheered up.
Just accept what has happened. There is no point in thinking too much.
At least they have a branch now, and the protective barrier is up.
He quickly opened the decoration panel and was about to exchange for the fence wall when Zhou Qi stopped him. He said, "We have time and materials now, so we should build the fence wall ourselves and try to save the points."
"But we still have a lot of points."
Although there are no customers and employees earning points, they still have the plane store. In the past 20 days, they have sold goods worth nearly 10,000 points in the plane store.
So after spending 6,000 points just now, his points balance is still 82,000.
Zhou Qi looked at him and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten about the seven-day sale?"
"But it hasn't refreshed in so many days... Hey, wait a minute!" Tang Yu'an realized something and said in surprise, "We still have a special sale refresh card!"
"Yes." Zhou Qi nodded, "Let's try and see if we can get the plane location stone."
If they had a plane positioning stone, they wouldn't need to look for other ways to go back, and they could reach the deserted city directly.
Otherwise, if you return through other channels, you will have to build a new branch before you can return to the deserted city.
There are too many uncertain factors, and it is far less safe than using the positioning stone to teleport back directly. The seven-day special sale refresh card will often refresh what they need most.
Although I don’t know if it’s because of the mechanism or An An’s luck, if this rule is effective, it is very likely that the plane positioning stone will be refreshed!
Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up.
But he held the refresh card and hesitated for a moment, but did not rush to use it.
"The plane positioning stone seems to be very expensive." Tang Yu'an said.
The value of a space stone is 50,000 points, not to mention something involving cross-dimensionality.
"We don't have many points. If we do get it, but don't have enough points, and the seven-day sale suddenly refreshes in the middle of the day, then this refresh card will be wasted!"
Tang Yu'an said: "We only have two cards left, and only two chances, so it's better to be cautious."
Hearing this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
With his personality, he would naturally prefer this choice, but today is An An's birthday and he hopes he can be happier, so he made this suggestion.
I didn't expect An An to take the initiative to bring this up.
An An has really grown up... Staring at the boy's eyes that were sparkling like black gemstones, Zhou Qi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked away.
"Then I'll listen to you and save up some points first."
"Um!"
Tang Yu'an put away the seven-day sale refresh card, then took out the umbrella and went into the forest with Zhou Qi to pick up branches to make a fence.
With a branch, the skill of picking up goods remotely can be used again.
They transferred the branches they picked up directly back to the cabin, and with their ability to take things remotely, they didn't even need to extend their hands outside the umbrella.
When they felt it was almost done, they used knives to cut some vines.
There are many plants in the forest, and there are many mutant species. They saw a huge "man-eating plant" from a distance.
Of course, in this sparsely populated forest, it would be more appropriate to call it the carnivorous plant.
The carnivorous plant has sharp teeth and usually keeps its mouth wide open quietly. When an insect approaches, it will suddenly close the flower and start chewing.
The sound it makes when chewing is particularly scary.
Tang Yu'an looked at it curiously for a few seconds, and then was pulled away by Zhou Qi. As soon as they walked away, the place where they had just stood was sprayed with mucus by a plant next to it.
Insects that come into contact with the mucus will become stuck and eventually die on the spot, rotting and becoming nutrients for plants.
After entering the forest, Tang Yu'an's map was covered with red dots, so densely packed that it was difficult to distinguish them.
However, he still used the small map to mark each creature he encountered.
Because many mutated plants have developed intelligence, his identification skills are not high enough, so he can only observe and mark the characteristics of these plants himself.
Fortunately, the map has a drawing function, so any animal or plant he has seen will have an image left, which he can organize in his spare time.
Back at the cabin, they made a fence out of the collected wood and vines, surrounded the rubble pile, and connected it to the house.
In this way, the protective barrier expanded outward to include the surrounding rubble piles, so they didn't have to worry about seeing insects trying to invade when they opened the door in the morning.
Yuanbao finally no longer needed to keep watch and could go into the house and have a good sleep at night.
Zhou Qi decorated the cabin and hung glowing fruits collected from the forest inside the cabin to provide light at night.
A carpet was laid on the floor, followed by a constant temperature cloth. A small stove was also made with fire stones in it so that food could be cooked at any time.
Put down the quilt and pillows, and a simple but cozy home is ready.
Tang Yu'an performed a purification spell in the house. When the light dissipated, he, Zhou Qi, and the two pets became clean.
Black Pearl looked at her clean fur, squinted her eyes with satisfaction, and then found a comfortable place to curl up.
Although he didn't need to keep watch, Yuanbao still lay at the door, staring at the simple wooden door. He probably wouldn't be able to relax for a while.
Tang Yu'an happily crawled into bed.
Zhou Qi had clearly prepared two quilts, but he still squeezed and forced his way into Zhou Qi's quilt.
Zhou Qi was helpless, but he couldn't bear to reject his closeness, so he let him do it.
"Brother Xiaoqi."
"Um?"
“It’s great to have you here!”
Tang Yu'an hugged Zhou Qi's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "If I didn't have you, I really don't know how I would live..."
Coming to this new dimension, Tang Yu'an no longer collapsed like he did when he first crossed into the alien world.
His emotions have always been stable, and even when he encounters setbacks, he can quickly cheer up, all because of Zhou Qi's presence.
Because he knows that no matter what adversity he encounters, Brother Xiaoqi will be by his side and help him overcome difficulties.
As long as the two of them are together, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
"Don't say such silly things." Zhou Qi frowned and said, "Even without me, you can still live well, safely and healthily."
Hearing his unhappiness, Tang Yu'an said "oh" obediently.
"If we separate in the future, you must live a good life and wait for me to find you." Zhou Qi said.
"We won't separate!"
"I mean, if..."
"You also said that I'm super lucky, that my wishes always come true. As long as I think that we will never be separated, we can be together forever!"
Listening to his twisted logic, Zhou Qi opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his words back.
Those were what he said when he was coaxing An An. Since he listened to it, it would be inappropriate to argue with him.
Thinking about what the boy had just said, the corners of Zhou Qi's lips curled up uncontrollably.
In the dim light of the cabin, the boy smiled and said, "Well, we will be together forever."
Tang Yu'an was finally satisfied.
"This is my birthday wish, so it will definitely come true!" he said with a smile.
"you're right."
Zhou Qi repeated, "We will be together forever."
The cabin gradually became quiet.
Late at night, it suddenly started raining outside.
Amid the sound of the pouring rain, the cabin was peaceful and tranquil. The two young men slept in the same quilt, leaning on each other, sleeping soundly.
When I woke up the next day, the rain had subsided.
The ground was wet and there were puddles everywhere. The sound of rain was rustling, like countless leaves making noise.
This kind of weather is not suitable for outdoor activities, so Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi stayed in the house to study, and when they were tired, they roasted sweet potatoes to eat.
Yes, they found sweet potatoes in the forest!
Although the sweet potatoes here are different from what they know, not only can the leaves grow up to 70 or 80 centimeters, but the sweet potatoes dug out are also extremely large.
A sweet potato as big as a basketball can be eaten for two days.
However, eating too much sweet potato is bad for the stomach and will cause flatulence, so they only eat it once every few days.
Perhaps due to the abundant sunlight, this wild mutant sweet potato is very sweet. After being baked in the oven, you can see the sweet red flesh when you break it open.
It smells delicious, and when you take a bite, it is smooth, soft and sweet, so delicious that it is explosive!
"When we get back, we'll plant sweet potatoes in Store No. 1!" Tang Yu'an couldn't help but say, "We should be able to eat Star Chain Fruit by then, right?"
He planted the two star chain fruits he got from Langze without even tasting them.
"Based on the growth rate of the Star Chain Fruit, it should be about the same." Zhou Qi responded with a smile.
"Uh-huh!"
Tang Yu'an opened the plane store again and found that a window was empty, so he quickly filled it with a new one.
They now have three display windows, one selling insect materials, one selling plant fruits, and the last one selling crystals.
Crystals are the best-selling items. Although this kind of psychic stone is produced in many planes, the demand for it is also high because of this.
They sell them a little cheaper than the market price and they sell out quickly.
As time goes by, there are already 38 people who collect his window display. Although it seems small, if you think of these 38 people as 38 planes of existence, it is actually not a small number.
After all, there may be only one plane merchant in each plane, or even none.
In this way, they attend classes in the morning, and when the weather is good, they go out to explore and do skills training in the afternoon.
Ten days passed by unknowingly.
This morning, Tang Yu'an woke up from his sleep and saw——
[Seven-day sale (remaining refresh time:???)]
1. Intermediate Healing Bandage (3/3): 200 points/roll
2. Intermediate Healing Potion (5/5): 400 points/bottle
3. Strong anthelmintic (3/3): 200 points/bottle
4. Construction Robot (1/1): 6688 points/unit
5. Plane Positioning Stone (1/1): 388,888 points/piece
Description: Ultra rare material
Function: Used as a locator in plane transfer.
"Wow, Brother Xiaoqi!" Tang Yu'an sat up with a somersault.
Zhou Qi, who was cooking outside, rushed in and asked nervously, "What happened?"
"Brother Xiaoqi, look at the seven-day sale! It's refreshed!" Tang Yu'an said excitedly, "The location stone has appeared!"
Zhou Qi was startled and quickly opened the interface to check.
He was delighted at first, but frowned when he saw the price. "390,000 points..."
Just as Tang Yu'an guessed, this plane positioning stone is really frighteningly expensive, but as an extremely rare material, it is understandable.
"How many points do we have now?" Zhou Qi asked.
"Ninety-three thousand." Tang Yu'an said.
In the past ten days, they have earned more than 10,000 points through the plane store. Despite this, they are still nearly 300,000 points short of the requirement.
Zhou Qi was a little worried, but Tang Yu'an said cheerfully: "It's okay, if you earn money slowly, you will save enough one day."
If we calculate it as 10,000 yuan every 10 days, we can save 300,000 yuan in 300 days.
Moreover, as their window collections increase and the number of views increases, the speed at which they earn points will definitely increase, and it shouldn't take that long.
"I'm just afraid that the seven-day sale will suddenly refresh." Zhou Qi looked at the products on the interface. Although he had guessed it a long time ago, he still couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw it really refreshed.
"Then use the refresh card."
Tang Yu'an was very optimistic. He waved his hand and said, "As long as the seven-day sale can produce the plane positioning stone, then there won't be any problem."
Zhou Qi: “…”
This is probably the confidence of the European Emperor :)
Being one step closer to returning home and having a concrete and feasible method, the two became more motivated.
Zhou Qi went out to make breakfast, while Tang Yu'an opened the plane store and replenished the three sold-out windows with new goods.
At this time, he saw an extra message under the third window.
[Joanna: I have news about the plane location stone]
Wow!
Good news comes one after another!
Tang Yu'an quickly opened Joanna's window and left her a message.
Joanna is a businessman from the lower magic plane. She had bought mutant lantern fruits from him before, but because the mutant lantern fruits were damaged in the giant bear attack and production stopped, he could no longer sell them, so they lost contact afterwards.
However, this time they picked a fruit called "fluorescent fruit" in the forest, which was loved by Joanna again.
After a few interactions, they became familiar with each other.
Although the window only has a message function, which is not only limited to 15 words but also cannot be replied, this does not become an obstacle.
As long as he also collects Joanna's window display and leaves a message under her window, communication can be carried out perfectly.
-
DM334591 plane.
A blond man stirred the cauldron in front of him.
He carefully put in a fluorescent fruit, and after seeing the liquid in the crucible turn into a beautiful fluorescent blue, he smiled with satisfaction.
When the liquid cooled, he lightly tapped his wand, and the liquid in the crucible automatically poured into the medicine bottle.
Finally the adjustment was successful!
He breathed a sigh of relief, waved his wand to clean the table, then opened the plane store and began his daily browsing and shopping.
[Mysterious Merchant: Thank you, my seven-day sale has been refreshed]
When he saw this message in the background, a crack appeared on the man's indifferent face.
This is a lie! Can a seven-day sale yield something this good?
Thinking that today was a refresh day, he quickly opened his seven-day sale interface. Seeing that a bunch of garbage that he had no use for had appeared on it again, he couldn't help but close the interface in frustration.
The good mood for mixing the potion is gone!
Jonah curled his lips, looked at the message from the mysterious businessman, and opened the other party's window to reply.
-
[Joanna: Congratulations, good luck]
Seeing the reply, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect that the other party was actually online. He quickly ran to the other party's window to leave a message.
[Mysterious Merchant: I may need your information as well]
[Joanna: 10,000 points]
Tang Yu’an: ...Goodbye!
He now has the exact source of the plane positioning stone, and it also requires a huge amount of points. How can he possibly spend 10,000 points to buy information?
After Tang Yu'an refused, the other party did not bother about the matter anymore.
[Joanna: I need more fluorescent fruit]
[Mysterious Merchant: Available Tomorrow]
After the exchange, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had breakfast and continued with today's course.
Because there were not so many distractions, their learning progress finally caught up, and they had a fixed and complete period of time every day to study.
Occasionally, Tang Yu'an would have the illusion of returning to his original world and getting up early to go to school every day.
The peaceful and boring life I felt at that time is now a beautiful time that I can never go back to no matter how much I miss it.
After finishing their studies, they went to the forest to collect fluorescent fruits.
This fruit grows in dark tree holes. They have only found one so far, and there is a mutant bear guarding it, so it is not easy to collect it.
Just one fruit can be sold for 1,000 points. Of course, such a profitable business cannot be missed.
Under the cover of the shadow umbrella, they successfully avoided the eyes and ears of the mutant bear, and used the skill of telekinesis to transfer the fruit into a portable warehouse.
After collecting about five, the two left cautiously.
The vegetation in the forest is lush and enormous. A single leaf can serve as a blanket for them, and the tangled roots can be over a meter tall...
They are like thumb people who have strayed into the land of giants. If they didn't have the ability to fly, it would be difficult for them to move.
"Da da da—da da da—"
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi landed on a branch and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a dozen stones jumping towards them from a distance.
Tang Yu'an calls this kind of stone a jumping stone.
They are big and small, the largest one is several meters long. As they jump, they will break into smaller stones, and then these stones will join the team again.
"Da da da—da da da—"
They jumped from unknown places and didn't know where they were going after crossing the forest.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi stared at the stone team for a while, until the jumping stones were completely out of their sight, and then they finally flew away.
"Brother Xiaoqi, do you think those jumping stones are controlled?" Tang Yu'an guessed.
He used his identification skills on the jumping stones, but found nothing unusual, and couldn't figure out why they kept jumping to a certain place.
Zhou Qi nodded, "Maybe it's a power we haven't come into contact with yet."
If the seven-day sale does not refresh the plane positioning stone, they may choose to follow the jumping stone to find out after they have enough strength.
But there was no need to take risks now.
"I really want to go and take a look." Tang Yu'an muttered.
However, he also understood Xiaoqige's concerns. After all, curiosity kills the cat. Before they have enough strength, they should just hide.
"Let's wait and see later." Zhou Qi said.
"Uh-huh!"
They did not return to the cabin immediately, but went to the river to pick up crystals. Today was low tide, so they could take the opportunity to pick up more.
Faced with so many crystals, the spirit insect in Zhou Qi's body did not react at all. After digesting the fire spirit insect, it became quiet.
Zhou Qi also took advantage of this time to use the power of fire to strengthen his body and cultivate his supernatural powers.
In addition to the fire element, he also did not neglect the water and earth elements. Because of the abundant spiritual energy in this area, his cultivation progressed rapidly.
Of course, the fire element is still the strongest at the moment.
When the tide is low, it is also the active period for crabs. Zhou Qi picked up crystals, and Tang Yu'an used a slingshot to shoot crabs and flying birds.
His aim was getting better and better, and under the attack of Cancer's water arrows, he became more and more agile.
This feeling of growing strength every day allows them to calm down and move forward step by step.
That morning, when Zhou Qi woke up, he saw that the seat next to him was empty.
He quickly got up and left the house, and saw Tang Yu'an had lit a fire and was cooking something.
"An An?"
"Brother Xiaoqi, go wash up first, there will be food later!"
Seeing Tang Yu'an busy, Zhou Qi was puzzled about the diligence of this lazy guy today, but he still went to brush his teeth and wash his face as he was told.
Then he sat at the dining table and waited.
After two months of preparation, their cottage had changed again. Not only was there a small yard, but a lot of things were also arranged in the yard.
Zhou Qi even made a rocking chair for Tang Yu'an so that he could lie down and bask in the sun when he was tired of studying.
Not long after, Tang Yu'an came over with two bowls of noodles.
"I don't know how to make longevity buns, so I made longevity noodles!" The boy chuckled, "Happy birthday, Brother Xiaoqi."
Zhou Qi stared at him blankly. Although he had guessed it long ago, he still felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
"Don't you have a watch? How did you know it's my birthday today?"
"So I keep a record every day!" Tang Yu'an puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Our birthdays are 30 days apart, so I just keep a record every day, so of course I'll know."
Zhou Qi looked at him and smiled: "I thought you had read my dashboard information."
Yell at him!
Tang Yuan glared and opened Zhou Qi's employee panel, and sure enough, she saw that the age column had changed to "16".
"Okay, I forgot."
Seeing the boy's slightly bulging cheeks, Zhou Qi's smile deepened.
For him, being thought of and cared about by Tang Yu'an every day is the best birthday gift.
At this time, Tang Yu'an took out a necklace and put it directly on Zhou Qi's neck.
"This is……"
Zhou Qi picked up the necklace and was a little stunned, because the workmanship of the necklace was so exquisite. There was also a star-shaped sapphire inlaid on the pendant, which sparkled with moving light in the sun.
"A birthday present!"
Tang Yu'an said to him seriously: "Promise me that you will always wear it."
He looked at Zhou Qi and said, "This necklace can generate a protective shield in critical moments, which can withstand ordinary attacks. Most importantly, it can also provide you with oxygen when you are short of oxygen."
"Promise me you'll always wear it!"
Zhou Qi stared at Tang Yu'an blankly.
Lack of oxygen...
(//o////o//)
He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his face suddenly turned red. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look into Tang Yu'an's clear and innocent eyes.
"Hmm... I understand..."
