Chapter 81 Radiant Believer Sequence Awakening Potion
Xu Si watched as Jiao Jiao traded a pile of moss for that heavy "Chalk Jaw," and couldn't help but marvel at the girl's luck.
The fact that Jia Zhenxin, that old fox, is willing to make this seemingly unprofitable deal is probably, as he says, an investment in a future possibility—information about edible plants in the apocalypse.
For certain specific sequences or researchers, they are certainly invaluable.
The transaction was complete, and Jia Zhen patted his even more bulging bundle with satisfaction, his face beaming with joy.
"Great! Doing business with you all is truly exhilarating! Well then, this old man will take his leave now, as I have to travel to another place where fate brings us together. Ladies and gentlemen, follow the worker ants, and we'll meet again in the 'Martial God Caravan'!"
He pretended to straighten his crooked pointed hat and gave a comical bow to the crowd.
Then he loudly proclaimed, "I have a deal with the space!"
Then, using some unknown means, a black hole suddenly appeared beneath his feet, just like the one he had come from, and he completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
As is customary, he would spend a few days with each racing team he encountered to learn about their situation.
However, the place where the convoy was located was too dangerous and too poor. He not only didn't make any money this time, but also lost a lot of money. He couldn't stay there any longer.
"He... left already?" Jiao Jiao blinked, somewhat incredulous, and even touched the spot where the old man had disappeared.
"Miracle Merchant... this sequence is really convenient," Fu Xiaojian murmured, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
The old man's ability to move so easily through various dangerous areas suggests that his survival skills are far more sophisticated than they appear.
Tashan scratched his rocky bald head: "Is this old man that powerful?"
Su Su silently walked to Xu Si's side, her cool eyes looking at him: "Those two things, are they useful?"
Xu Si nodded, without elaborating.
He has particularly valued the characteristics of [Restore Tree Branch] and [Empty Dust], but their specific uses will need to be determined after the system evaluates them.
He looked at the wooden worker ant lying quietly in Fu Xiaojian's hand.
At this moment, it is steadfastly pointing southeast.
"Are we... really going to that 'Martial God Car Team'?" Xiao Luo asked somewhat nervously.
While Jia Zhenxin's words cannot be entirely trusted, the direction indicated by the worker ants is indeed the only hope at present.
Fu Xiaojian stroked the worker ant's cool, wooden exoskeleton, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "We have no better choice. Let's get out of the swamp first!"
His gaze swept over the convoy, lingering for a moment on the faces of the ordinary people who looked eager.
"...If there really is a chance to make awakening potions there, no matter how slim, it's worth taking the chance."
Having experienced the despair of being dominated by the rotten swamp, and then witnessed the "miracle" and deal brought by Jia Zhenxin, the originally deathly silence of the caravan was broken, and an emotion mixed with unease and longing quietly began to grow.
As night fell, the convoy resumed its rest period. Xu Si, however, hid in the driver's seat of the "Melting Wax Messenger" to check the spoils he had received from the old man.
Xu Si leaned back in the driver's seat, feeling the slow recovery of energy within his body, while simultaneously immersing his consciousness into the system.
[Strange Drop Found: Restoration Branch]
[Item Properties: Restoration, Replenishment, Purification]
[Upgrade Option 1 Compatible: Wonder - Staff of Resurrection]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 1800]
[Compatible with Upgrade Option 2: Radiant Follower Sequence Awakening Potion]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 1000]
[Mysterious Drop Found: Empty Dust]
[Item Characteristics: Void, Concealment, Space]
[Upgrade Option 1: Curious Item - Empty Cloak]
[Description: Can significantly reduce presence, conceal aura, evade energy detection, and has a certain probability of providing additional space.]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 2000]
[Upgrade Option 2: Enhanced Vehicle (Coverage Module)]
[Description: Adds short-term optical camouflage and energy shielding to your vehicle, with a small chance to enhance its mimicry properties.]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 2500]
Looking at the information provided by the system, Xu Si quickly made a mental calculation.
Both directions of "Restoration Branch" are very useful. Crafting it into a rare item can greatly improve the convoy's survivability and endurance, while crafting it into an Awakening Potion may add a valuable healing or support-oriented sequencer to the convoy.
This... I promised Jiao Jiao, and then they brought it over right after.
Doesn't this make him a complete simp?
Isn't that ridiculous?
Little Yellow Hair will never be a simp in his life!
As for "empty dust," it leans towards concealment and survival.
Whether crafted into personal artifacts or used to enhance vehicles, they can prove incredibly effective in crucial moments.
It just overlaps somewhat with the system's abilities. He had experienced the system's ability to purify aura at crucial moments, and what he valued most was that it had a certain probability of coming with an extra space.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen this.
With his current 113270 purification points, he has more than enough to support any upgrade.
After a moment's thought, he made his decision: to keep the half-full bottle of water.
"System, use [Recovery Branch] to upgrade to Sequence Awakening Potion!"
[Purification Points -1000, Remaining Purification Points: 112270]
[The Radiant Follower Sequence Awakening Potion is being crafted. Estimated time: 10 minutes]
Xu Si made the decision to manufacture the potion after careful consideration.
While a healing artifact can instantly boost combat power, the long-term value and morale boost of a living, breathing Sequencer with healing abilities are unmatched by any artifact.
Especially after the death of the old steward and the continuous loss of personnel in the team, the team desperately needs a healer.
As for "empty dust," he was somewhat conflicted.
He wanted both the "extra space" and the "enhanced mimicry" described in the text.
But what's even more urgent is...
"System, upgrade 'Empty Dust' to 'Empty Cloak'."
Xu Si ultimately chose the [Empty Cloak].
Stealth is crucial in the perilous post-apocalyptic world, as it allows him to purify his aura without spending purification points.
Whether it's fighting, escaping, or gathering supplies, the Empty Cloak seems to be more suitable.
If you have that "extra space," it's like having a personal space, and storing and carrying supplies will no longer be a problem.
[Purification Points -2000, Remaining Purification Points: 110270]
[The wondrous item—the Void Cloak—is in progress. Estimated time: 30 minutes]
During a break in production, Xu Si focused his consciousness on the [Radiant Believer Sequence Awakening Potion] that was being generated.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the notification sounded precisely on time:
[The Radiant Follower Sequence Awakening Potion is complete!]
In the passenger seat, the half-empty bottle of water had been replaced by a vial emitting a soft, milky-white glow.
The medicine acted like a small light source in the dimly lit car, dispelling some of the gloom and bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
Xu Si picked up the medicine; it felt warm to the touch.
He hesitated for a moment, then carefully put it away.
"Jiao Jiao, Jiao Jiao, please respond."
"What are you doing?" came the little girl's angry voice from behind the car.
Xu Si was taken aback.
Turning his head, he saw that the little girl was collecting moss in the swampy clearing next to his car before nightfall, her sleeves rolled up to her upper arms and her hands covered in mud.
"Brother Dao!" Xiao Luo was also standing nearby. There was still a lot of moss around their feet, so it seemed like they had a good harvest.
"Bring me the treasure you just changed into!" Xu Si said softly to the little girl.
"Why should I?" the little girl said arrogantly, clearly pleased with herself for exchanging moss for a strange item.
"What do you think?" Xu Si looked at the little girl with a smile.
The little girl's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly realized something.
"Ahhh...really?"
The little girl ran back to the pickup truck in a daze, carrying the watermelon-sized platinum stone to Xu Si's car.
Two large black handprints on the stone completely ruined its beauty.
