Chapter 40 Cooperation
"I was really just passing by. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you in any way."
The feeling of not having your own life in your own hands is not good at all.
"You misunderstood me. What I meant was that surviving at sea is already difficult enough. Meeting on this island is fate. Besides, we're all players, so we should help each other out. To show my sincerity, I'll tell you something: this is a giant monster island."
"Island of Giants?"
Lu Qingyuan: "That's right. I've been to this island before and explored a location with rare resources, but entering that location requires the cooperation of another player."
Shen Jue remained calm on the surface: "You're so confident in choosing me, aren't you afraid I'll betray you?"
Lu Qingyuan: "I have my own judgment. I trust those I employ and I don't employ those I don't trust. I believe you are not that kind of person. Before we cooperate, let me formally introduce myself. My surname is Lu, Lu Qingyuan."
Lu Qingyuan, that name sounds familiar.
I think this person was mentioned in the server chat before, saying that he was skilled in both literature and martial arts.
There is currently no other negative news about him, and no players have said anything bad about him.
Judging from the current situation, this person has no hostility towards her.
A short-term collaboration wouldn't be out of the question.
Shen Jue: "Since we're cooperating, shouldn't I know some information about the rare resources, and what dangers are associated with that location?"
Lu Qingyuan: "Of course. Since you are my partner, I will definitely tell you some information that you should know."
Lu Qingyuan took out a golden crystal. "This thing was found in that location. This kind of crystal doesn't have a name, so I'll call it the Golden Crystal for now."
Shen Jue looked at the golden crystal, which was similar to the crystal mine she had encountered on Emerald Island, but with a different function.
Shen Jue: "What is the purpose of this gold crystal?"
"This thing is incredibly useful; it can increase your success rate by 100% when you're making your own weapons."
If what Lu Qingyuan said is true, this thing can greatly increase the success rate when independently developing weapons.
That thing is indeed a rare and precious resource.
"Tell me, since you chose me as your partner, there must be conditions for getting in. What do you need me to do?"
"It's easy to talk to smart people."
Lu Qingyuan: "There are two giant beasts guarding the entrance of that crystal mine. I can't lure them away by myself, so I need help. Your task is to help restrain the first giant beast while I lure it away."
Shen Jue: "That's a good idea, I agree."
If it's just about helping to keep things in check, these are minor issues.
Shen Jue didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Qingyuan's decision.
Having decided on the division of labor, Lu Qingyuan led the way.
Shen Jue followed him through a winding path to a secluded mountain valley.
This place looks ordinary, with no advantageous terrain, but in the heart of the area there are indeed two giant beasts the size of small hills.
The two giant beasts lay prone, appearing to be asleep.
Shen Jue and Lu Qingyuan watched from afar. On their way here, they had devised a series of plans and communication gestures.
To ensure that the action is carried out with minimal error.
They don't want any mishaps if they can.
Fighting giant beasts for crystal mines is a crazy undertaking.
This time, they can only succeed; failure is unacceptable, because the consequences of failure are something neither of them can bear.
Lu Qingyuan led the way, and Shen Jue, as they had agreed, went to the designated location to lie in ambush.
After Lu Qingyuan lures the first giant beast over, she will be responsible for restraining it and preventing it from leaving its position.
It's unclear how Lu Qingyuan managed to lure the crouching behemoth to this location, but the behemoth appeared extremely agitated and angry.
It was as if Lu Qingyuan had disturbed its peace and done something heinous.
"Shen Ci".
"Okay, get out of the way."
