dmims Chapter 434 Respect
Chapter 434 Respect
"Big Brother!" Zhou Hu and Zhou Bao jumped into the pit and helped Zhou Long up from the bottom of the pit, one on each side.
Zhou Long was not injured, or rather, he did not suffer any substantial harm.
His powerful dragon-like body helped him withstand the vast majority of impacts.
Xu Si's final press was so precise it was almost cruel, enough to crush him without harming him in the slightest.
This effortless control is more despairing than simply knocking him away.
"I lost." Zhou Long pushed away his two brothers' hands, steadied himself, and patted the tattered clothes and dust off his body.
He looked at Xu Si, his thick eyebrows and large eyes showing no anger or resentment, only a complex, almost relieved expression.
"If you had just told me you were Sequence 6 earlier, I wouldn't have bothered arguing with you."
The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar.
"Sequence 6? He just said sequence 6?"
"Damn, no wonder Boss Zhou didn't even have a chance to fight back. How the hell are we supposed to fight like this?"
"The Salmon Train Team... no wonder they're ranked 002nd..."
"Didn't you see that not a single person came? They're treating Zhou Long like a child!"
"Shouldn't we be more concerned about the Time Traveler's return?"
……
The scene Xu Si just witnessed in the star field was far too similar to the characteristics of time.
The murmurs surged like a tide, engulfing the entire trade fair venue.
The other team members who were originally observing now looked at the Xinhuo team's camp with completely different eyes.
Team 002 is indeed as large as Team 002 is.
Xu Si ignored the comments and simply looked at Zhou Long: "The bet."
Zhou Long paused for a moment, then grinned, his laughter tinged with bitterness and satisfaction.
"Keep your word."
He turned to Zhou Bao.
With a look of resentment, Zhou Bao swept all the strange things that had fallen into a canvas bag, picked it up, and threw it at Xu Si.
"It's yours!"
Xu Si reached out and caught it; the pocket was heavy, containing at least seventeen or eighteen strange items that had fallen out.
He didn't bother to count them, but directly put them into his dimensional space. His gaze fell on Zhou Long, and he unusually added, "You're not bad!"
Zhou Long's lips twitched; they really treated him like a child.
As it turns out, Sequence 5 is truly powerless against Sequence 6.
After Xu Si finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the camp of the Xinhuo Train Team.
The onlookers automatically made way for them, their gazes filled with awe, curiosity, apprehension, and a complex mix of emotions.
Sequence 6.
At this moment, when everyone is still struggling to survive in Sequence 2, Sequence 3, and Sequence 4, this number represents only two words.
Invincible.
At least on this island, before those hidden high-ranking individuals make their move, Xu Si is invincible.
Cui Daoxuan's figure had long since disappeared from the Divine Turtle Caravan's camp, but Xu Si knew that the old man must be watching him from some corner.
"Brother Dao".
Lin Zhennan must have been waiting for some time, holding that rhinoceros puppet.
"This wondrous object... I will definitely return it to you someday." But he knew he probably couldn't.
Xu Si glanced at him and said, "You should keep your meager savings."
Lin Zhennan opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Who in this car team doesn't owe Xu Si something?
-
The trade fair was completely transformed by this competition.
The clamor of bargaining subsided considerably, and people gathered in twos and threes, whispering among themselves, their eyes occasionally drifting toward the direction of the firewood train camp.
Those car convoys that were initially hesitant about the salary train convoy are now taking the initiative to send people over to make contact.
Everyone's attention was focused on the "Timewalker" from Sequence 6.
Some people even started discussing whether to help Xu Si find his sister in order to curry favor with him.
-
The members of the Queen of Hearts team were particularly enthusiastic.
Team leader Liu Chunhong personally took charge. She was a woman in her early thirties. Her appearance was not stunning, but she had a unique temperament and a mature woman's charm in every gesture.
Two young women followed behind her, both of whom were of extraordinary rank, but not of high rank.
"Captain Fu, it's an honor to meet you." Liu Chunhong's voice was gentle yet not cloying, like a spring breeze.
Fu Xiaojian responded politely, his gaze falling on the two girls behind her, lost in thought.
"I heard your team has enhancement potions?" Liu Chunhong was skilled in negotiation and didn't get straight to the point.
"Yes." Fu Xiaojian nodded.
"How do I change it?"
"It still fell in a strange way."
Liu Chunhong paused for a moment, then took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, untied the knot, and poured out a few items.
Three strange drops, one of which is level four, and the other two are level three.
"That's all. You know the situation in our team. There are many women, but few who can act as the backbone. It's not easy to accumulate enough women through strange falls," she said.
That's complete nonsense; that Sequence 5 swordsman is no fake.
However, this is clearly a necessary show of weakness to maintain good relations with the salary train team.
Fu Xiaojian glanced at the pile of things, then at the two girls behind Liu Chunhong.
"Three strange drops, enough for two regular enhancement potions, that's the most I can get."
Liu Chunhong bit her lip and finally nodded.
-
Xu Si did not participate in these transactions.
He sat atop the Nirvana Chariot, holding in his palm the [Sword Bone] he had just won from Zhou Long, along with two other strangely dropped items.
One item is the [Clear Water Plaster], which can be used to make the [Sculptor Sequence Awakening Potion].
The other item is the "Shriveled Wet Bone," which can be used to make the "Bone Collector Sequence Awakening Potion."
As for the other strange drops, although there are quite a few, they can only be considered as extras.
"System, enhance the artifact—Sword of Punishment."
Purification Point: -65000
[Remaining Purification Points: 237200]
Estimated time: 12 hours
While Xu Si was upgrading the Sword of Punishment, Mei Lin, the leader of the Bright Car Team, also approached the Salary Train Car Team as promised.
As the host and initiator, the team showed sufficient respect after demonstrating its strength.
Mei arrived earlier than expected.
Less than fifteen minutes after the tournament ended, that figure appeared in front of the Salary Train team's booth.
Because the team's nominal leader is here.
He had no entourage, no pomp and circumstance, and was not even informed in advance; only Zhao Tiesheng followed behind him.
Xu Si looked down from the roof of the Nirvana vehicle.
He was a man in his early thirties, of medium height and average appearance, the kind of man you wouldn't notice if you threw him into a crowd.
But there's something about him that's hard to define, something like a certain temperament or an aura.
Xu Si's only feeling was that it was very similar to the government officials he had encountered when he was delivering food.
Perhaps four words would be more appropriate to describe him: approachable.
"Captain Fu, it's an honor to meet you. I've been so busy these past few days, I'm sorry for neglecting you." Mei Lin stepped forward and offered his hand.
Fu Xiaojian stood up to greet him, and they clasped hands together.
There was no probing, no confrontation, and not even any unnecessary small talk.
"Team Leader Mei, you're too kind. We've just arrived too."
Fu Xiaojian's momentum was clearly suppressed.
