After two unpredictable events, residents who were finally able to go out crowded into the blind box store to exchange the items they needed.
Some people saw the newly launched "anti-gas fog limited" blind box and were full of regret.
When the poisonous fog spread, there were no protective measures and people did not dare to go out at all.
But staying at home could not completely isolate the invasion of poisonous fog. Many people still inhaled the poisonous fog and showed symptoms of poisoning.
If there were gas masks and filter nets at that time, it would be great.
The blind box of medicines also added a new model - antidote, and many people lined up to buy it.
Jiang Han's team and Chi Jin were queuing at the back. Yao Yiyi and Li Xin were still at the base and had not woken up. Some residents also needed antidote.
Lu Yao followed the direction indicated by the ruby on the bracelet and gradually approached Chi Jin. Her eyes stopped on him, a little confused.
She walked past Chi Jin, and the light of the ruby turned and pointed at him again.
Lu Yao looked back at him, slightly surprised, "Why is the bracelet pointing at a person?"
System: [He has compass fragments on him. ]
Lu Yao: "...Is he a person or something?"
Chi Jin had been covering his eyes, and Lu Yao had not paid attention to this person.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his lazy temperament was somewhat similar to Xue Ge and Ling Lan.
Ling Lan had shown a strong liking for him before, could they be of the same kind? Lu
Yao stared at Chi Jin, and the other party seemed to have noticed something and looked up.
Even with sunglasses covering his face, his expression was still unclear. He only heard his clear voice: "Shopkeeper, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Lu Yao greeted him, turned back to the backstage, and asked Jiang about Chi Jin.
Jiang Shanrun had a good impression of both Lu Yao and Chi Jin. When he heard Lu Yao asking about Chi Jin, he didn't think much about it, and felt that there was nothing worth hiding, so he told him everything.
Chi Jin was injured and unconscious in the wild, and he was rescued and brought back to the base.
His eyes were injured and he couldn't see the light, so he always wore sunglasses.
Later, he stayed in Changming Base. He was lazy and liked flowers and plants, but he didn't have any bad habits.
Occasionally, Chi Jin couldn't resist Jiang Han's request, and he would go out to hunt mutant animals and plants.
I heard that his ability is very powerful, but Jiang Shanrun has never seen it.
Lu Yao remembered it in his heart and went back to find Xiao Linglan.
Xiao Linglan was eating snacks in the lounge. She still liked to turn into a Linglan plant. When she saw Lu Yao, she immediately wanted to come over and rub against him.
Lu Yao carried her to the table and asked casually: "Xiao Linglan, during the Hongyan period, you met a young man wearing sunglasses in the store. Is he from your tribe?"
Xiao Linglan shook her little flower bud to be cute.
Lu Yao: "Would you like to eat the grilled skewers, grilled chicken wings, and grilled sweet potato skins in the snack bar?"
Xiao Linglan suddenly transformed into a human form, her grape-like eyes sparkling: "Yes!"
Lu Yao: "Who is the young man wearing sunglasses?"
Xiao Linglan raised her hand: "I also want two small cakes, a watermelon soda, and a matcha milk tea." Lu Yao
nodded, "Okay."
Xiao Linglan rested her small hands on the edge of the table, her calves swaying slightly, and she said in a soft voice: "That's Lord Hua Huang. He used to live with us in a place where there was a buffet every day, but later he left alone. I was very happy to meet him in the store that day."
Buffet?
I'm afraid I learned this word recently from watching TV with Xue Ge. It's best not to let Zhong Ruying hear it.
Hua Huang?
Lu Yao thought for a while, "Does it mean the most powerful existence among your kind?"
Xiao Linglan nodded, "Lord Hua Huang collected a lot of fragments that looked delicious, and his power became very strong. Only the Beast King can compare with him."
Lu Yao had a bad feeling in his heart, "Did Chi Jin eat those fragments?"
"Yes. The fragments with a golden glow exuded a very delicious smell." Xiao Linglan was ignorant at first and wanted to snatch the fragments, but was severely punished. Lu Yao
typed into the system: "What should I do if the compass fragments are eaten?"
System: [The compass fragments merge with the body and provide divine power. Only by killing the target can it be taken out again. . ]
Lu Yao: "..."
Lu Yao came out of the lounge, and Jiang Han and his group had already left.
Even if she met Chi Jin again, she didn't know what to say.
If what Xiao Linglan said was true, Chi Jin ate part of the compass fragments.
She couldn't have sharked him as the system said.
At night, Lu Yao stayed in the research room of the blind box shop.
Because of the ultimate mission this time, his mood was a little confused.
Suddenly, the bracelet on his wrist lit up red, pointing straight to the door.
Fragments don't appear for no reason, unless someone with compass fragments comes to the blind box shop.
Lu Yao stood up and pushed open the door.
The tall man was squatting in front of a food blind box machine, with muscular arms and shoulder blades, full of power. The light blond hair was slightly long, and a palm-sized orange cat was lying on his head, looking quite familiar.
And the light of the ruby was pointing at him.
Lu Yao hesitated for a moment and walked out.
The footsteps were particularly clear in the silence of the night.
The man squatting in front of the blind box machine seemed to be unaware of it, or he didn't care at all.
"Xiao Hu, this machine seems to be able to open meat, do you want to try it?"
The little alien lying on the man's head "wowed", and the man used the crystal core coins to exchange for the blind box of ingredients and couldn't wait to open it.
A bag of green vegetables and a bag of white sugar came out.
The man threw the green vegetables away: "...What a broken blind box, it's useless."
The little alien jumped down, took the green vegetables back with small steps, and pushed them to the man's feet.
He turned his head to look at Lu Yao and "wowed" at her.
"Do you remember me?" Lu Yao recognized that this was the little alien that had come to the store during the poisonous fog period. She squatted down in surprise and stretched out her hand to him. The
little tiger cub hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Lu Yao and lowered his head to rub her hand.
The Beast King stood up and looked at the human who suddenly appeared and dared to pet his son like a cat, with a fierce light in his eyes.
Xiaohu noticed it, turned back and called softly.
The Beast King narrowed his eyes, leaned over to pick up the vegetables on the ground, held the bag of sugar in one hand, and walked out of the blind box store first, "Xiaohu, let's go."
The tiger cub secretly licked Lu Yao's fingertips, turned around and quickly followed the Beast King's footsteps.
Lu Yao stood up and watched the two figures, one big and one small, disappear into the night with a complicated expression.
The man also had compass fragments on him, and it seemed that he was not just carrying them on his body.
Lu Yao: "Is that man an alien beast?"
System: [Well, it's also a target that needs to be sharked. 】
Lu Yao: "..."
A few days later, Lu Yao wore the bracelet and went out to look for the remaining compass fragments.
Linglan was clingy and wanted to go out with her.
Xue Ge was worried and followed her out.
They often met people with bad intentions on the road, and they were basically dealt with by little Linglan and Xue Ge.
Although little Linglan had just transformed into a human form, she was very violent in fighting and was stronger than Xue Ge. Lu Yao
brought a lot of magic props and scrolls with magic circles drawn in advance, as well as a magic wand made for her by the alien clerks in the nail salon, but none of them came in handy.
After searching for a few days outside, the ruby on the bracelet never lit up again.
The new round of impermanence is a drought. The daytime is quietly prolonged. The scorching sun has been scorching the ground for a long time. The temperature has risen sharply and the weather is hot.
The blind box store has launched a new ice drink series and a summer limited series, which are popular.
The Beast King and the Tiger Cub always go to the blind box store to draw boxes when no one is around late at night, and leave cursing after opening them.
There are only two days left before the end of the mission, and the progress of the ultimate mission is zero.
The system can't help but pop up: [Shopkeeper, the mission is about to expire. ]
Lu Yao lay on the sofa in the lounge, looking at the ceiling, "Hmm."
System: [What are you going to do? The ultimate mission has expired, and all the previous efforts will be in vain. ]
The bracelet has no response in the wild, and it is not ruled out that she did not find the right place.
But in the past few days, the farthest they have walked is to the neighboring area, and they still have nothing.
Lu Yao guessed that the fragments of the Balance Compass are likely to be in the hands of Chi Jin and his little alien companions.
According to the system, to complete this task, two people must be killed.
For her, this is an impossible task.
System: [When the task fails, the wish cannot be realized and the owner will die.] Lu
Yao was very calm: "Yeah."
System: [...]
The owner started to move? This is not like her.
The system asked patiently: [Does the owner find this task difficult? Or is there another reason?]
Lu Yao did not speak, sat up, stood up and walked out of the blind box store.
It was a little after four in the morning, and the world of impermanence was already bright. The sun was hanging high in the sky, and there was a faint steam rising from the ground.
During this period, mutant plants and animals were almost extinct.
It became difficult for people to obtain crystal cores.
The square and road outside the blind box store were dry and cracked. Lu Yao walked along the dilapidated road for a while and stood on the bridge.
The water level of the river under the bridge dropped, and the beach on the river bank dried up into sand.
Lu Yao held the stone railing of the bridge, exhaled slowly, and the bracelet on her wrist lit up red.
She tilted her head and squinted.
The young man wearing sunglasses was walking over from the other end of the bridge. Lu Yao
turned around and walked back.
Chi Jin was behind her, and the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller.
Then he slowed down, walking behind her neither too far nor too close.
Lu Yao walked into the blind box store, opened the door, and returned to his own world.
The sky was slightly bright, and a ray of silver light broke through the lead-gray clouds.
The morning breeze brushed against the skin, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Outside the shopping street was a desolate scene, the old and dilapidated streets were deserted.
Only the three stores in Linjiang had clean signs hanging on them, and the outside of the stores were as tidy as new.
If the mission goes smoothly, the number of stores on this street will increase, and there may be fruit stores, milk tea shops, bookstores...
All the shabby small stores will become as clean and tidy as snack bars, nail salons and blind box stores.
Lu Yao raised his hand to hook up his flying hair and tuck it behind his ears. He looked up and saw a person standing at the door of the snack bar.
"Xingzi, why are you here so early?"
The delivery truck usually comes after seven o'clock, and it is less than half past six at this time.
Xingzi saw Lu Yao and her face lit up: "Shopkeeper, I heard the cats' cries, but I can't find them. Can you help me find them?"
"Cats?" Lu Yao didn't see the cats, nor did he hear any sounds.
Xingzi explained: "There were a lot of goods this morning, so I came a little early. There was a cat crying outside. There are no cats in the dreamland, but I didn't see any outside either." Lu Yao
looked around the store three or four times, and even went into the vacant store next door to take a look, but he didn't find the cat.
She simply walked a little further, along the shopping street, to the three-way intersection where it met the main road, and found it in a roadside ditch.
A calico cat was lying in the muddy ditch, holding a kitten in its mouth, struggling to move from one end to the other.
Not far from it, there were two kittens rolling in the mud, crying weakly.
The calico cat was injured, with blood trailing all the way from the middle of the road, and its viscera flowing out of its belly.
It was holding the kittens in its mouth, and its hind legs were weak, so it couldn't move at all.
After seeing Lu Yao, it opened its mouth and began to cry sadly.
Lu Yao ran back to the snack bar, took two paper boxes and a towel, and carefully packed the one large and three small.
When Lu Yao wrapped the calico cat with a towel, he discovered that there was a kitten under its belly, which was already dead.
She carried the lifeless kitten back to the shopping street, hurriedly said hello to Xingzi, and went straight into the nail salon.
Putting down the box, Lu Yao used light magic on the injured calico cat.
The holy golden light enveloped the big cat, and the hole in its belly healed little by little, and its cry gradually became softer.
After the wound healed, the calico cat stared at Lu Yao for a while with its round eyes, then suddenly jumped out of the box, crying and going to see the kittens in another cardboard box.
Lu Yao sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
The alien shop assistants heard the noise, came down from the stairs, and saw Lu Yao with surprised faces.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Lu Yao handed the four cats to the care of the clerk, packed the dead kitten in a cardboard box, and buried it in the open space next to the snack bar.
Xingzi stood in the corridor, watching the shopkeeper work quietly. Lu Yao
compacted the soil, made a mark, and handed the digging tools to Xingzi, "The four cats are fine, they will be kept in the nail salon for the time being. I have to go to the blind box store first, and I will let Xiaoji bring them over to you later."
Xingzi noticed that the owner looked a little anxious, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
System: [Shopkeeper, have you decided to continue with the task? 】
Lu Yao: “Yeah.”
The system was surprised. It didn’t expect her to figure it out so quickly. “What are you going to do? Shark Chi Jin first?”
Lu Yao’s hand that was pushing the door paused slightly. “I do plan to find him first, but I don’t have the idea you mentioned.”
System: [???]
“When I made a wish in the past, I might have been prepared to pay any price to make it come true. But if it is really my wish, I think the price definitely does not include this.” Lu Yao said.
The system was a little panicked: [What do you want to do? 】
Lu Yao didn’t want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, he confided: "After all, the goal of this mission is to remove the compass fragments, not anything else. When treating the calico cat, I remembered the idea of magic manicure before, using dark magic to destroy the structure, and then using light magic to repair it. I think this method should be able to remove the compass fragments without hurting people's lives. It just takes a little time to experiment, so now I want to go back to the laboratory immediately."
System: [...How do you plan to experiment? How long will it take? 】
Lu Yao: "At least half a day. There is no time to prepare carefully, I will do it myself."
The system was shocked: [You want to experiment on yourself? 】
Time is tight, Lu Yao didn't want to say more, and pushed open the door.
At this time, the blind box store was crowded with people.
No one redeemed the blind box, and everyone looked out the door in panic.
Lu Yao turned around and saw Ji Feiming, Luo Huian, Jiang Han, Xi Tingran, Xue Ge and Ling Lan standing at the door with different expressions.
"What happened?" she asked.
Ji Feiming turned around first and was slightly relieved to see her: "There's a fight outside."
Ling Lan heard the owner's voice and immediately came over to protect her behind her, whispering: "The Beast King and the Flower Emperor are fighting, we can't intervene."
Lu Yao was very surprised: "Why are they fighting?"
Jiang Han frowned and looked outside, also puzzled: "Brother Chi and I came to the store to redeem blind boxes and met that man at the door. He stopped Brother Chi and said that he wanted to put an end to the unfinished fight four years ago, and asked Brother Chi to hand over some fragments. Brother Chi didn't want to pay attention, and the man suddenly turned into a beast, and then a fight started."
Compass fragments?
Lu Yao and Ling Lan made eye contact.
Ling Lan came over and whispered, "It must be the fragment that looks delicious."
The area around the Fairy Tale Square has been destroyed beyond recognition. Only the blind box store has become a safe house under the protection of the magic barrier.
In the morning, people who came to redeem blind boxes all rushed into the store and dared not go out.
The huge mutant tiger roared to the sky, and the sound made people's eardrums hurt.
He jumped towards the young man in white who was less than ten meters away from the blind box store.
The young man was wearing a white coat and sunglasses, playing with a pair of silver scissors in his hand. He easily dodged the attack of the Beast King and jumped to a high place.
The Beast King is huge and has terrifying power.
Everyone who could see the battle at the door of the blind box store felt that the thin young man in sunglasses would soon be defeated, and at the same time, a sense of sadness rose in their hearts.
No matter which side wins, the fate of mankind is the same.
There is no hope in this world anymore.
The Beast King did not stop after landing, and immediately jumped up, with the tip of his claws pointing at the young man's legs.
Chi Jin stood still with a calm expression, and a slender golden lotus grew out of the palm of his hand hidden behind his back.
When the Beast King pounced over, he turned the lotus branch and pierced the Beast King's heart.
"Puff--" The Beast King spat out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, and he took a few steps back in disbelief and fell to the ground suddenly.
In less than half a minute, he was silent.
"Lord Huahuang won!" Ling Lan said excitedly.
A palm-sized orange little alien rolled off the back of the beast king, and its round eyes angrily glared at the young man holding the golden branch, its vision blurred by tears.
It buried its head on the dead beast king, rubbed its head against the beast king's rough fur affectionately, wiped its tears, spit out the crystal core liquid knife from its stomach, opened the blade, picked up the handle, and ran towards Chi Jin at a high speed.
Chi Jin saw the little alien running over, and turned the lotus branch in his hand slightly, and bright red blood flowed down the golden branch and dripped onto the ground.
The little tiger cub would never be able to beat Chi Jin, and they couldn't be allowed to fight again.
Lu Yao took out the magic wand from his portable warehouse, stepped out of the store, and ran towards the little tiger cub.
Chi Jin noticed her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the lotus branch in his hand flew towards the small alien beast.
When Xiao Linglan saw Lu Yao running out, her face panicked and she ran out after him.
Lu Yao drew a magic circle of acceleration under his feet, and at the last moment he bent down and hugged the small alien beast, rolling on the ground to avoid the golden lotus branches full of shark intent.
The next second, countless golden lotuses with shark intent flew from the opposite side.
Xiao Linglan's ankles were tied up by the lotus branches extending from the soil. She couldn't move at all and could only watch.
At this time, there was a sudden roar in the sky, and a huge claw covered with black scales tore through the space, and a terrible monster poked its head out from behind the clouds.
When the people in the blind box store saw this scene, they stepped back one after another, despairing to the point of having difficulty breathing.
What kind of monster is this?
Harold tried thousands of times and finally located the world where Lu Yao was.
Coming through time and space, he didn't have time to say hello and immediately found that Lu Yao was in danger.
He didn't even think about it and flew over directly.
The little black dragon in dragon form was much taller than the beast king, and it fell to the ground like a hill, shaking the earth.
He swept his tail, forming a circle, encircling Lu Yao, blocking the flying lotus branches, and mercilessly swinging his dragon claws at Chi Jin.
Lu Yao actually used his magic wand to build a strong enough shield wall.
After being caught by the little black dragon's tail, her body relaxed, and everything went dark. The little tiger cub struggled in her arms.
After a few minutes, the little black dragon retracted its tail.
Chi Jin stood less than two meters away from Lu Yao, his white clothes stained with blood (blue), and he was about to fall.
The little alien broke away from Lu Yao's hand, holding the crystal core liquid knife, and rushed towards Chi Jin, leaping up frantically.
Chi Jin slightly turned sideways and easily dodged the attack.
However, his sunglasses were swept by the tip of the blade and broke.
Without the cover, the young man's appearance was revealed.
His eyes were like rubies, burning and pure, and also like a blood swamp, shadowy and sharp. He didn't look injured at all. He stared at Lu Yao closely, and suddenly his eyes flashed slightly, and his words were malicious.
"Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you."
Lu Yao's pupils shrank slightly. It seemed that he had seen these eyes somewhere before.
Without time to think about it, she drew a magic circle of light and pushed it towards Chi Jin.
The warm golden light was about to cover him. Chi Jin took a step back and let his body turn into sand.
The bodies of the Beast King and Chi Jin turned into dust, leaving behind two pieces of compass fragments that had already been formed. Lu
Yao stared at the two pieces of fragments on the ground in a daze.
The little black dragon turned into a human form and landed beside Lu Yao. It bent down and took out two familiar bones from two piles of ashes. "Lu Yao, there are bones here too."
Lu Yao came back to his senses, took a look, and found that they were indeed the same as the two in the warehouse.
[The broken balance compass can be repaired by spending 200,000 popularity points. Do you choose to repair it? ]
Lu Yao was silent for a while, "...Yes."
The popularity points were deducted, and the two compasses automatically merged together.
After a while, the balance compass was repaired.
In an instant, the thick clouds in the sky dissipated, the sunlight seemed to have lost its fiery intensity, and there was a faint breeze blowing on the face, bringing a rare sense of freshness and comfort.
[The balance compass has been found and successfully repaired, and the ultimate mission is completed. Congratulations to the owner, you can go to the next world immediately! 】
Lu Yao felt his pockets getting hot, and he took out a familiar little piece of paper.
The latest clues always appear underneath, Lu Yao rubbed out the white paper, and the last one had two words written on it.
"Drowning in the sea."
Just like how she felt now.
