Chapter 115 Another Possibility
Xu Si didn't find anything good at the stall either.
These kinds of strange drops are something that all the car teams keep to themselves.
However, Xu Si still exchanged it for a bottle of cola that hadn't expired yet.
He had to reward the little girl for working so hard.
He also needed to figure out how to swindle the other strange item that had fallen.
Anyway, putting it in the hands of a little girl would be like casting pearls before swine.
In addition, Xu Si also exchanged a lot of rice seeds with husks at Zhu Yu's Wantong caravan. Unfortunately, he didn't find any wheat or corn seeds in the entire square, otherwise he would have exchanged some as well.
As the sun rose higher, the temperature in the Gobi Desert became unbearable for the people in the square.
The trading market naturally dispersed, and the survivors retreated back into the shadows of the ruins, each plotting their own schemes.
Back inside the "Messenger of Molten Wax", Xu Si first spent 5000 purification points to upgrade the 1m³ dimensional space to 2m³.
He didn't buy much at the trade fair, and his storage space was almost full.
Upgrading to 3m³ is even less cost-effective, as it requires 10000 purification points. He decided to skip it and wait until he actually needs it before upgrading.
Then he took out the three newly acquired strange items and placed them on the bed in the back room.
His crimson star-like eyes swept over them one by one.
The broken power core is the size of a walnut and appears to be some kind of strange mechanical core remnant.
The [Hateful Finger Bone] exudes an unsettling and ominous aura, with fine black lines covering its bluish-gray bone.
The most unique species is the 【Mysterious Mist Vine Flower】.
It resembles a shriveled bean pod, its surface covered with ever-changing gray mist. Upon closer inspection, the mist seems to form distorted human faces.
The system interface then appeared.

Two of the three drops can be crafted into Awakening Potions!
That's why Xu Si thought the little girl was incredibly lucky.
He definitely has to keep the power core; the [Wax Messenger] is currently lacking power, and he certainly can't let go of the other two.
Of Wu Dazhao's eight strange drops, only one can be made into a potion, which shows how rare potions are.
Moreover, having witnessed the number of extraordinary individuals in the Martial God Caravan, he was even less likely to leak out anything that could enhance the caravan's strength.
He already had two bottles of sequence potions, and with these two more, that would make four. He had too many potions; who could understand his suffering?
This is something I can't even give away!
If Wang Hu leaves, there aren't many people in the team who are worth investing in and who might be suitable for these niche tracks.
This is really a headache.
"System, reinforce the vehicle with the shattered power core."
[Purification Points -2500, Remaining Purification Points: 90270]
[Time Limit: 5 hours]
Suddenly, Xu Si seemed to remember something and took out the [Blade Stone] he had seized last night and his own [Sword of Punishment].
He was sharpening his sword right there in the train carriage; the movement was incredibly awkward.
Fortunately, the Sword of Punishment changed its appearance in less than ten minutes.
[Current Wonder: Sword of Punishment]
[Ranking of Oddities: 1477]
New Feature: Sharp
Description: This sword of punishment, honed through countless trials, is only considered as capable of cutting through iron like mud at its most basic level!
[Comment: This remains a double-edged sword; while punishing the enemy, one must also be careful not to punish oneself!]
Great, a new feature has been added, and the item ranking is now within the top 1500.
After packing everything away, Xu Si lay on the bed, looking at the blood-red sun in the sky that seemed to never change, and felt a headache coming on.
If the person he values most leaves the team, who will he give his potions to? He can't just sell them!
Their team doesn't have the same strong foundation as the Martial God Team. If they expose even a little bit of their weaknesses, it's only a matter of time before they're completely wiped out by other teams.
Feeling the two bottles of potion in the dimensional space and the two strange items that had just been obtained fall from the sky.
Everything here is good, but now it seems like a hot potato.
Wang Hu...
If he really went to the Wantong Caravan and doesn't plan to come back, then this [Forging Apprentice] potion will truly become useless.
For the rest of the team?
The core circle is now entirely composed of sequence transcendents, and he is unfamiliar with the other survivors, whose mental states and abilities are unknown.
Giving something rashly could bring unpredictable fortune or misfortune.
Could it be that he really misjudged the situation?
This mechanic, who had been with the convoy since the very beginning, was taciturn, yet he always managed to pull vehicles on the verge of collapse back from the brink of destruction.
After such a long period of contact, he originally thought that Wang Hu was the most worthwhile investment, apart from core members such as Fu Xiaojian and Su Su—he was down-to-earth, skilled, and didn't cause trouble.
And there are things I care about.
This is a perfect match for the [Forging Apprentice] sequence.
But now...
If that guy really went to the Wantong caravan, it would be a betrayal.
According to Xu Si's principles, those who betray others deserve only to be killed, and are not entitled to any gifts.
He opened his eyes, his scarlet star-like pupils devoid of emotion, reflecting only a frozen lake.
"Brother Shan, Brother Shan, are you there?" Xu Si asked through the walkie-talkie.
"Brother Dao! Are you looking for Uncle Tashan? I'll go get him for you!"
To Xu Si's surprise, it wasn't Tashan who replied; that guy was currently sleeping in the shadows of the bus!
It turned out that it was Yao Yao herself who replied.
"No need to call anymore, it's fine!" Things were getting interesting, Xu Si grinned.
He seemed to have thought of another possibility.
However, his expression immediately turned cold; he was truly stunned.
Why not just use the "star track" function to check if someone is there? Why use a walkie-talkie to ask?
