Chapter 39 Will I be able to see my sister alive?
"bite--"
With a crisp sound, the coin landed on the dry, muddy ground, bounced twice, rolled half a circle, and came to a stop.
Face up.
The diviner was facing the sky.
Xu Si's heart clenched violently, almost leaping out of his chest.
Xiao Xiao squatted down, picked up the coin, examined it carefully, and then looked up at Xu Si.
Her small face wore a complex expression that was forced and disproportionate to her age, a mixture of pity and mystery.
"Fate has given the answer." Her voice was light and airy, yet it struck Xu Si's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Positive means 'yes.' You...can see her again."
boom!
Xu Si's mind went blank for a moment, and his vision blurred.
Overwhelmed with joy and disbelief, he stood frozen in place, opening his mouth but unable to utter a sound.
I'll get to see... I'll get to see my sister!
She's alive! I'll see her again!
At this moment, the fatigue, struggle, and numbness brought on by the killing over the past few days seemed to be dispelled by this ecstasy.
His eyes burned uncontrollably, and his vision blurred.
"Brother Dao!" Xiao Luo tugged at his sleeve worriedly.
Fu Xiaojian and the others also noticed Xu Si's unusual behavior, but they did not disturb him, as they also had questions they wanted to ask.
Xu Si took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions. He raised his hand and vigorously wiped his face. When he looked up again, all that remained in his eyes was a burning determination and a trace of residual crimson.
"Thank you." His voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke those two words to Xiaoxiao with utmost seriousness.
Xiao Xiao shook her head, put the coin away, and sighed like a little adult: "Fate only guides the way; the journey is still difficult. And... although heads means 'yes,' sometimes things don't turn out as we wish. You have to be prepared."
Xu Si nodded, indicating that he understood.
In the apocalypse, just surviving is enough; he dared not ask for too much.
Moreover, with Brother Tongzi by her side, he is confident that he can heal her even if she suffers a serious injury.
As long as he knows they can meet again, as long as he knows she is still alive, he will brave any obstacle ahead, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire.
This divination not only inspired Xu Si, but also boosted the spirits of the rest of the Xinhuo team. Su Su and Tashan also gathered around and started talking about the price, clearly they also had questions to ask.
Suddenly, the stall in front of the little girl became lively.
In the end times, "hope" is all the more precious.
Trading continued, but the atmosphere had clearly eased considerably.
The gasoline at Hisoka's stall was all exchanged for by the Salmon Train team, so both sides got what they needed.
Xu Si's gaze was drawn to Fu Xiaojian, who was haggling over prices, or more accurately, to two items on their stall.
One was something resembling a cow's horn, and the other was an unremarkable stone.
These two items were placed in a special box, indicating that they were of extremely high value.
"Even if it's a strange drop, it's not worth 50 catties of grain. If you lower the price, I'll take it all!" Fu Xiaojian clearly didn't want to give up.
Just as Xu Si had thought, this was indeed a strange drop, a truly rare item.
And to find two of them here is truly amazing; it's a magical circus.
"May I take a look?" Xu Si asked politely, and Fu Xiaojian nodded in acknowledgment as Xu Si approached.
He then continued to haggle with Ihei, his main target being the stone, though he didn't want to give up the bull's horn either.
Knowing that Xu Si has the ability to create strange objects, these two bizarre items, once dropped, will never be found again in this village.
"Go ahead!" Ihei was an introverted person to begin with, and he was so annoyed by Fu Xiaojian that he wanted to take matters into his own hands.
Xu Si finally came to the rescue, and immediately put down Fu Xiaojian to entertain the red-haired man that Xiao Xiao had mentioned was rather dangerous.
However, his gaze fell on the item wrapped in the curtain in Xu Si's hand, which should be his weapon.
Xu Si was also paying attention to the whip at his waist. It must also be a rare item, but he didn't know its ranking.
Xu Si first picked up the unremarkable stone; it was cold and rough to the touch. But the instant his fingertips touched it, a notification sounded in his mind:
[Mysterious Drop Detected: Stone Statue's Core]
[Item Characteristics: Resilience, Permanence]
[Compatible Upgrade Option 1: Enhanced Vehicles]
Description: Real vehicles need to be tough enough; come and test them if you dare.
Estimated purification points consumed: 1000
Upgrade Option 2: Oddity - Stone Statue Puppet
Description: I can be your puppet, but I will never be your dog;
Estimated purification points consumed: 1500
】
Xu Si's heart stirred, and he picked up the dark, dull ox horn again.
[Mysterious Drop Detected: Earthshaking Bull Horn]
[Item Characteristics: Sturdy, Sharp]
[Compatible Upgrade Option: Enhance the weapon 'Sword of Punishment']
Description: It's best to keep sharp edges hidden to avoid harming yourself or others, but please experience the power of the Earthshaker's strike first!
Estimated purification points consumed: 800
Great stuff! All great stuff!
However, he noticed that the upgrade plan for this time actually included descriptive keywords. Why was that?
There were no related descriptions for the previous strange drops. Could it be that some kind of ability of the system has been unlocked?
Is it because my strength has improved or something else?
Xu Si suppressed his excitement and looked at Yi Hei, saying, "Make these two items cheaper, we'll each take one!"
A glint of light flashed in Fu Xiaojian's eyes. Xu Si's words meant that these two items were suitable to be made into a rare artifact.
"Yes, yes, no one can afford to trade one 50-jin piece of grain for you. Two 50-jin pieces would be more like it!" Fu Xiaojian said calmly as the two of them played good cop and bad cop.
"If you want it, you'll need at least forty catties of grain, not a penny less. We lost quite a few men when we encountered these two!" Jack, wearing a pirate hat, stopped beside them, having clearly finished selecting the supplies.
Xu Si and Fu Xiaojian exchanged a glance, realizing that this was probably the other party's bottom line, so they didn't press the issue any further. If the other party discovered their mistake, they might end up with nothing.
Xu Si happened to have a bag of rice weighing less than 20 kilograms, which he had brought from Happiness Town, but he hadn't eaten much of it.
On the one hand, they were in a hurry and didn't have time, and on the other hand, they didn't have suitable cooking utensils.
His enamel mug is fine for cooking instant noodles, but steaming rice is really a challenge for him.
So he only cooked rice porridge twice when he was craving it, and it was half-cooked, so you can imagine how bad it tasted. Now he can use it to exchange for supplies.
"Deal! Which one do you want?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
"Bull horns, please!"
Xu Si was fine with either option, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to strengthen his [Sword of Punishment].
As for upgrading vehicles or stone golems, that can be put aside for now. He has enough vehicles for now, and he doesn't need to take on the responsibility of clearing the way. Besides, his purification points are running low.
The stone is in Fu Xiaojian's hands, and he has many ways to get it if he wants to.
