Chapter 118 An Unexpected Joy
Jiao Jiao tiptoed, like a cat about to steal food, thinking she had quietly circled around to the side of the Conqueror.
Peeking out halfway, he met Xu Si's eyes, which remained crimson even in the dim light.
"Wow!" She jumped back in surprise and patted her chest.
"Brother Dao! You scared me to death!"
"Come on, have an iced cola!" Xu Si froze the cola he had traded in the square that day; even he missed that taste.
Xu Si felt it was better to appease his top salesman.
"Ah!" Jiao Jiao immediately put on a smile and leaned closer to the car window.
"Brother Dao~ You still have iced cola? You really want me to drink it?" The little girl's eyes sparkled.
Although the temperature in the Gobi Desert has started to drop, it remains dry, and an ice-cold Coke is an unprecedented treat.
The little girl happily accepted the bottle of chilled cola, completely forgetting that she still had important business to attend to.
The moment my fingertips touched the cool bottle, I couldn't help but hiss and gasp, my eyes curving into crescents.
"Thank you, Brother Dao!" She unscrewed the cap, took a careful sip, and felt the carbonated bubbles and long-lost sweetness explode on her tongue, making her squint her eyes in satisfaction.
The chill seemed to pull her mind back to reality. She looked around warily before leaning against the car window and whispering, "Brother Dao, did you also give Uncle Wang...?"
"Yes." Xu Si didn't hide anything.
Jiao Jiao's eyes lit up even more, and she gulped down a big mouthful before wiping her mouth.
"That's great! Poor Yao Yao, I knew you were a good person, Brother Dao. I'll keep the dropped item; consider it an advance payment for Uncle Wang..."
The little girl didn't realize that Wang Hu had come to trade with something in hand, and was being quite generous at the moment.
Xu Si was still struggling with how to bring it up when he unexpectedly found the little girl to be so loyal.
However, one thing is one thing, and he couldn't really ignore the little girl's strange fall.
"Let's keep things separate. What he owes me, he'll repay. How could Brother Dao keep your strangely dropped item?"
"Of course, you already told Brother Dao that you've given it to him, so you definitely can't take it back. That's not like you, Miss! Brother Dao would never put you in a difficult position!"
"Brother Dao has some good stuff here, let's trade!" Xu Si said, leaving the little girl stunned.
However, she still understood that Brother Dao wanted to keep her things for himself.
"What a wonderful thing! Did you turn my little skin into something like you?" The little girl lovingly stroked the body of Xu Si's vehicle.
"What a pipe dream! To get to this level, you'd need at least 20 weird drops!" Xu Si didn't rule out the possibility entirely, after all, he still needed to motivate his employees!
"What is that?"
Xu Si took out half a bottle of sequence enhancement potion (general type II) that he had prepared in advance from the dimensional space. It was still flashing with silver light and had blood-red threads. Xu Si didn't want to take another look at it.
The little girl knew her stuff; she stared at the potion without saying a word.
"These would cost at least five or six of these strange drops outside. I'll give you a discount and charge you three. You still owe me two!" Xu Si said.
"Huh?" The little girl's mouth dropped open! She had just paid off her loan, and now she was suddenly burdened with another one?
"Then you have to tell me what this is, right? It's almost as good as an awakening potion?"
The direct reason why the little girl didn't turn around and leave was that Brother Dao really had something good.
"This is a sequence enhancement potion, I don't need to explain it to you, right?" Xu Si said simply, and the little girl's eyes were already shining.
"I'll trade, I'll trade!" This is a great item that can improve your rank! No wonder it's Brother Dao, he can even get his hands on something like this!
"But this is for Sequence 2. Take it back to your aunt. I won't be responsible if you get sick from it!"
There's also a weapon for Sequence 1, the Knife Bro, just one piece of the Mysterious Drop! But you should wait until your aunt finishes taking it before making a decision!
Xu Si decided not to take advantage of this little girl anymore. What if she got brain damage from the pain? Where would he find such a good sales champion then?
"Thank you, Brother Dao!"
The little girl tucked the potion into her bosom, grabbed her cola, and walked away with a grin.
"You still owe me two!" Xu Si said.
"Okay, okay!" the little girl said, completely unconcerned.
The two bizarre falls were nothing to her.
Wang Hu's awakening did not cause a great stir among ordinary people.
After all, the people who went with Wang Hu to the Wantong Caravan to repair their cars had already guessed it, and now it was just that their guesses had been confirmed.
However, Tashan clearly felt that the atmosphere inside the bus was different. In the past, it was just a stagnant pool of water, but now it was a gushing spring.
What ordinary people see as a burning candle is a flame called hope.
If the little girl's awakening was just a coincidence, then Wang Hu's awakening completely confirmed everyone's guesses.
Since Wang Hu was able to awaken, it means that ordinary people also have a chance.
They are no longer afraid of death; what they fear is the lack of hope.
Now, hope is at hand.
As for whether the convoy will be exposed because they have awakening drugs in it.
There's absolutely no need to worry.
The more people who know about it, the less chance they have of getting the potion. Not only will they not leak it, but they will also try to keep the news to themselves.
They were now incredibly grateful that Yan Feifei had taken two people with her, which increased their chances of awakening.
If those three guys knew what happened tonight, they'd probably be kicking themselves!
The convoy is now trying to get them to leave, but they won't.
In the past few days, they have witnessed the miserable state of ordinary people in other car teams.
Some people live worse than livestock.
The salary train team has already done its best; they can't ask for more.
Night finally enveloped the Gobi Desert completely.
As the last rays of the blood-red sun disappeared below the horizon, the ruined mine fell into an eerie silence.
The campfires of the various caravans were much sparser than the night before, and the Bull Caravan and the Tortoise Caravan were even completely hidden in the darkness, like a lurking herd of beasts.
At the camp of the fire truck convoy, only a small fire remained, barely illuminating the core area.
Fu Xiaojian, Xu Si, Su Su, Ta Shan, Shao Bing, Xiao Luo, Jiao Jiao, and the newly awakened Wang Hu gathered together.
"Wang Hu, Rank - Forging Apprentice"
The group was fully aware of Wang Hu's situation.
"What are its characteristics?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
He hoped the team would have one more fighting member.
"The three characteristics are—Forged from All Things, Body of Lava, and Violent Forging—it seems capable of forging wondrous items!"
Wang Hu was also somewhat uncertain. His instincts, inherited from the Sequence, made him feel that it should be possible, but he was not yet familiar with the power of the Sequence.
This prompted everyone, including Fu Xiaojian, to look over.
Although they had their suspicions, they were still naturally happy that their suspicions had been confirmed.
This is a pleasant surprise!
