Time passed quickly. Xu Jianguo spent the whole day watching TV series with Wen Sitian. When he saw his silly wife crying because of the tragic experiences of the characters in the drama, he suddenly felt a little amused and sighed that this woman's empathy ability was really too strong.
During this period, Wen Sitian seemed to casually ask Xu Jianguo about the tattoo on his chest. Xu Jianguo knew that she was a little worried, so he did not hide it and told her the whole story truthfully.
Wen Sitian didn't react for a long time after hearing this. Even though she had already accepted the fact that Xu Jianguo owned a space and had become much calmer, this tattoo still seemed a little unbelievable to her because it involved the ghost messenger in the traditional culture of Longxia Country.
And as a woman, she was naturally afraid and awed by the thought of ghosts and gods. So after a while, she finally asked with a trembling voice, "Jianguo, you're an active-duty soldier. Can you have a tattoo? Will it affect your future career? Also, will this tattoo harm your body?"
Xu Jianguo stroked her hair and said, "Tattoos are definitely not allowed, but there are always exceptions. I'll explain the situation to the base when I get back. It shouldn't be a big problem. As for whether it will cause harm to your body, I really don't know, but it seems there's no problem at the moment, so don't worry."
After listening to Xu Jianguo's explanation, Wen Sitian felt a little relieved, but she was still a little worried. However, she did not continue to dwell on this topic. In her opinion, as long as the two of them could be together, all problems could be solved together.
After the two finished dinner, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. After saying goodbye to Wen Sitian, Xu Jianguo came to the parking lot carrying the backpack he had prepared in advance.
After taking some necessities from the car and stuffing them into his backpack, Xu Jianguo quickly left the space and appeared outside the poplar forest on the outskirts of the Sea of Death.
Looking at the sunset in the distance, Xu Jianguo felt the temperature at this time and found that it was much lower than the temperature during the day, at least a temperature difference of ten to twenty degrees.
If we wait until the sun sets completely, the temperature here should be even lower. After thinking about it, Xu Jianguo flashed back into the space again.
Just as he appeared in the space, the familiar system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding, system upgrade completed.]
"System, please tell me what new features are available after the upgrade?"
[Ding, the system's anti-interference ability has been significantly improved after the upgrade; the system mall function has been enabled; the random task mode has been enabled.]
"Tell me more!"
【Ding, the anti-interference capability is improved, which can effectively improve the system's ability to resist electromagnetic interference and avoid system failure again.】
[Ding, system mall function, the host can use currency, gold or silver to purchase skills and items in the system mall. ]
[Ding, Quest Mode. After the system upgrade, the previously selected quests have been merged and replaced with random quests. The host will receive system reward points for completing random quests. Each time a random quest is completed, a hidden menu will be opened in the system mall. The opening period lasts for ten minutes, and the host can use the points earned to redeem the skills and items in the hidden menu. Note: The skills and items in the hidden menu are limited edition and not for sale.]
After listening carefully, Xu Jianguo's eyes lit up. He thought that the results of this upgrade were good and would be beneficial to him in the future.
Just when Xu Jianguo was about to check the skills and items sold in the system mall, the old Taoist Xuanjue walked over from a distance, so he had to give up. After all, the two of them had important things to do.
"Boy, is it time to set off?" asked the old Taoist priest.
"Well, Taoist priest, I just went out to take a look. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large. We have to wear the thick clothes we wear during the day, otherwise I'm worried that we won't be able to bear it at night." Xu Jianguo said.
The old Taoist priest had no doubts, nodded, and put on his jacket and pants.
After making preparations, Xu Jianguo and the old Taoist priest quickly left the space.
"Master, here, put this on your head!" When Xu Jianguo and the other man arrived at the place they had left before, the sun had already set and the entire desert Gobi was plunged into darkness. He put an outdoor headlamp on the old Taoist's head and then helped him turn on the switch.
"It's amazing!" The old Taoist priest looked at the white light emanating from his forehead and couldn't help but marvel at it.
Xu Jianguo also took out a headlamp and put it on. Although his eyes had night vision capabilities, the old Taoist priest didn't know it, so he could only use the headlamp to conceal his presence.
After preparing everything, Xu Jianguo packed his backpack and set off towards his destination with the old Taoist priest.
Some people may ask why Xu Jianguo didn't just use the space portal to teleport the two people directly to their destination, but instead approached by walking or driving.
In fact, Xu Jianguo had thought so before, but every time he teleported according to the coordinates marked in his mind, the space portal would teleport him to a place near his destination. This was the case with the Lost Soul Pond, the Death Valley, and this time the Sea of Death was still the same.
Xu Jianguo couldn't figure out the reason. He felt that these places where magic weapons were hidden seemed to be shrouded in an invisible aura. Whenever Xu wanted to approach through the space portal, he would be bounced back by the invisible aura and appear in a place not far from the destination coordinates.
Although it was already night, for Xu Jianguo, it was no different from daytime.
Ever since he acquired the ability of night vision, Xu Jianguo gradually fell in love with the night. The feeling of being able to see others while others cannot see him in the absence of external light is really... too fucking disgusting.
Walking on the vast Gobi Desert and looking at the desolation before them, both Xu Jianguo and the old Taoist priest were filled with awe.
As we all know, the Sea of Death is a vast and dangerous place. As the throat of the ancient Silk Road, it hides countless treasure legends and unsolved mysteries.
Behind these treasure legends and unsolved mysteries, in addition to extreme temptation, there are also deadly dangers. This is why so many people have disappeared or even lost their lives in this sea of death.
