Chapter 378 The Abnormal Qin Wine
After the demonic earth turtle was killed, it dropped a [Earth Stone]. Since the battle of attrition with it had taken nearly an hour, the five of them were also very tired. After discussing it, they decided not to go to the next level.
This [Earth Stone] is similar to the previous Water Stone and Fire Stone; it can be used on weapons or equipment to increase unique attack power or resistance.
The five people still used the "allocation by luck" method, deciding the fate of the "earth and stone" by playing rock-paper-scissors.
Ultimately, Lu Cheng obtained the [Earth and Stone] through a stroke of incredible luck.
Lu Cheng finally got his chance to shine and was incredibly smug.
Qin Jiu laughed at him for being unsophisticated, and the two started bickering again.
Tang Mian looked thoughtful, and Meng Qingyin patted her shoulder: "Let's go, let's leave the tower."
Chen Leying suddenly said, "Do you think that NPC team also needs entry tickets to clear the tower? If so, where do they get so many entry tickets?"
Meng Qingyin was taken aback; she hadn't thought about that question before.
However, Qin Feng and his group had entered the Tower of Babel before, so they probably didn't need an admission ticket, right?
Chen Leying added, "Also, if there really are Ming and Qing in that team, how come they were suddenly clearing the first few levels faster than us when they used to have a hard time?"
Their team had a very difficult time defeating that demonized earth turtle.
How did that mysterious NPC team manage to kill the demonized earth turtle?
Does their team have any exceptionally skilled individuals?
Meng Qingyin couldn't answer either. "I'll ask Qingfeng about the admission tickets later. As for the rest... it depends on Fei Qiu and the others' progress."
If Fei Qiu can really hold out against that NPC team, many problems will likely be solved.
Chen Leying didn't say anything more, and the group left the Magic Tower.
Back in the car, Meng Qingyin changed her clothes and went to rest.
As the tower levels increased, the effects of the residual demonic energy seemed to grow stronger, leaving me exhausted after each run.
It takes an hour or two of sleep to fully restore your energy.
Perhaps she should go to the Magic Tower store and order a better-sealed breathing mask.
Thinking this, Meng Qingyin fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept when she was awakened by Qingfeng's gentle voice.
Meng Qingyin opened her eyes groggily and found that it was already dark outside.
"I slept for more than three hours?" Her voice was still a little hoarse.
Qingfeng felt a little sorry for him: "Master, if you are too tired, don't go to the tower so often. Your body will not be able to handle it. Although you have a breathing mask, it cannot completely block out demonic energy. It will be dangerous if too much demonic energy accumulates in your body."
Meng Qingyin: "It's okay. It is tiring to clear the tower, but I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. Don't worry about the demonic energy either, I'll have a better-sealing breathing mask made."
"By the way, Qingfeng, did you need an admission ticket to enter the Tower of Babel before?"
Qingfeng could tell that she was trying to change the subject, but she also knew that her master's decision was not something she could change with just a few words.
She sighed: "No need, we can enter the Tower of Babel at any time."
Meng Qingyin nodded and then asked, "Do you also need to form a team of five?"
Qingfeng replied, "No need, we have no limit on the number of people. Even if one person enters the tower, it's fine. Of course, you can also form a team of multiple people to go in."
Meng Qingyin was taken aback, not expecting that they would not limit the number of people entering the tower.
That……
How many people are in that NPC team?
After hesitating for a moment, Qingfeng asked, "Master, do you suspect that the Ming and Qing families are in the team that's clearing the tower?"
“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m guessing,” Meng Qingyin said without hiding anything. “Qingfeng, based on your understanding of Mingqing, what is her true strength?”
Qingfeng shook his head, his tone somewhat forlorn: "I used to think I knew Mingqing very well, but after what happened with Sasha, I realized I don't know her at all. I don't know her purpose in encouraging Qin Feng to enter the tower, nor do I know why she was so determined to enter the Demon Tower, and I don't even know where she is now... We have drifted further and further away from her."
Friends who grew up together and went through life and death together, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their friendship is invaluable.
but……
When Ming and Qing decided to abandon Chen Sha in order to clear the tower, their childhood friendship vanished.
When they meet again, perhaps she can ask Mingqing frankly what her purpose is.
Perhaps they will never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime.
Qingfeng looked dejected.
Meng Qingyin comforted her: "People always have to move forward. Cut ties with those people and things that make you feel uncomfortable. There's nothing to be nostalgic about."
Qingfeng nodded. "I understand."
...
Meng Qingyin and Qingfeng had just finished eating when their group chat started buzzing with messages.
Meng Qingyin clicked on it and saw that it was a message from Qin Jiu.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "It's strange, I feel particularly energetic today. I didn't feel tired at all after finishing the tower."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Before, after finishing the tower, I would come back and fall asleep immediately, but today I feel like I've drunk two jin of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), I'm full of energy!"
The elderly man said, "He has a huge capacity for alcohol; he can drink two jin of Erguotou in one sitting."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Hahaha, old man, you're missing the point."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Huh? Qin Jiu, you haven't rested since you came back from the tower raid? Are you made of iron? I felt completely exhausted when I got back, and I only recovered after a nap. How do you have so much energy?"
Meng Qingyin was also puzzled, "Xiao Jiu, are you alright?"
Chen Leying: "You didn't rest at noon, and you didn't rest after finishing the tower in the afternoon. Can your body handle it?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Haha, I'm really fine. Actually, I'm quite puzzled myself. Before, after finishing the tower, I would want to sleep for days on end, but today I feel like I've been injected with chicken blood, I'm not tired at all!"
Although Qin Jiu said she was fine, her unusual behavior made everyone uneasy.
Mask: "Did you use some kind of prop?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "No, I didn't use any props. The custom props in the Magic Tower Shop are too expensive, I can't bear to buy them."
I'm a lucky person (poor version): "That's strange, or did you eat something?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "The food I'm eating is all from the stockpiles I had before, nothing special."
If it's not a prop, nor did she eat any food, then why is Qin Jiu behaving so strangely?
While being full of energy seems like a good thing, who knows what hidden dangers might lurk behind it?
The more this happened, the more uneasy everyone became.
Suddenly, Meng Qingyin thought of a possibility.
This morning, while farming the tower, Qin Jiu was bitten by a demonized leech. Could the key to the problem lie here?
Mengmeng: "Could it be because of the demonized leeches? Xiaojiu was bitten by a demonized leech during the day, and I think the problem lies with the leeches."
Everyone was taken aback.
