Chapter 338 I'd Rather It Be Her
As dusk fell, the insects that had been hiding during the day swarmed back in.
Lu Youyou searched all afternoon but couldn't find any trace of the hidden gift, let alone find it in the dark at night.
She decided to let herself off the hook and give herself some time to rest.
Deploying the mobile base on the spot, Lu Youyou drove the RV into the garage, returned to her private room to wash up, and then lay down on the soft little bed.
She couldn't fall asleep, so she first opened the message box and found it was still the same message sent by the members in the afternoon, so she didn't reply.
She then opened the public chat to see what other people were talking about.
[Player 677882: I'm in the same team as Xu Yu. He's so considerate; he actually helped the whole team with the quest.]
[Jiajia: I'm so envious. My team doesn't have any outstanding members; everyone's too busy to help with their own tasks, and no one's helping me with quests. I only have 1000 defense points right now.]
[Deep Affection: There's a certain person in my team, I won't say her name, but she's really selfish. She finishes her own task early without helping anyone else. If she had helped us, the group mission would have been completed long ago.]
[Player 899000: No? Why are you so brazenly asking for help? Just because this game put you all in the same team? Aren't you afraid the adults are testing your teamwork skills? Your shirking and cheating makes you look like cannon fodder.]
[Player 89992: How is that possible? Anyway, I believe in fate. I've lived this long, so I won't die easily.]
【…】
The public chat was filled with all sorts of things, some condemning each other, others hurling insults at each other.
Lu Youyou fell asleep while watching.
Safe overnight.
At 8:30 in the morning, Lu Youyou woke up on time.
She immediately looked at the [message carrier] and processed several messages sent to her in bulk.
Some people asked about lizards, some asked about chicks…
To avoid sending useless emails to others and causing them disappointment, Lu Youyou didn't reply to messages she didn't know.
Only reply with information about the monsters you encounter.
After dealing with the [messenger pigeon], she opened the [virtual base] to check the defense value contribution.
He was still in first place, followed by Wang Chenxi, Zhao Zhihao, and Wang Lu.
Apart from himself, the defense values contributed by the other three are all increasing.
Zhao Zhihao, in particular, was like he was on steroids, providing defense points even in the middle of the night.
Judging from the fact that he provided defense points almost every hour, he probably didn't sleep all night.
That's good; I don't need to go over there myself to supervise the physical strength anymore.
After washing up, Lu Youyou used the [Food Factory] to make a scallion pancake.
After breakfast, she put away her mobile base station and let the navigation system take her around at a snail's pace.
Lu Youyou stood on the roof, partly for ventilation and partly for a better view.
She stood for two hours straight, and her calves started to swell, so she put down a stool and sat down to watch.
Suddenly, she noticed a golden light shining through a dead tree.
In that instant, the golden light vanished.
Lu Youyou found it strange and asked the navigation system to stop the car.
She got out of the car, holding an enhanced paralysis grenade in her hand, and slowly approached the dead tree.
The withered tree had a crack, and Lu Youyou could easily break off a large piece with her hands.
No monsters suddenly rushed out of the tree or released any poisonous sap. She walked safely to the tree and, sure enough, saw a treasure chest.
The treasure chest was made of golden metal and did not emit light.
Lu Youyou remembered what the little duck had said yesterday, that she was the one chosen by the dungeon boss.
It seems that the golden light was the warning given by the elder brother so that he might miss it.
She took out the treasure chest, her watch vibrated, indicating that the mission was complete and 100 defense points were automatically contributed to the virtual base in her name.
Lu Youyou was curious about what was inside the treasure chest, so she opened it on the spot before even getting on the bus.
【Withered Vine Bark *5: Although it sheds automatically, each unit increases defense by 200 points.】
[Rosemary x10: You can use it for food flavoring or as an insect repellent.]
[Candied Hawthorn*1: Sweet and sour candied hawthorn is the fruit of the only hawthorn tree in the Dense Forest dungeon, and it's very popular with the dungeon's monsters.]
[Question and Answer Book *1: Received one hint about the Forest dungeon.]
Each unit of withered vine bark increases defense by 200 points. Lu Youyou has a total of 5 units, which increases defense by a total of 1000 points.
With the defense value added previously, she provided a total of 3911 defense value, directly completing her part of the team mission.
With the mission accomplished, the heavy weight on Lu Youyou's heart lifted, and she began to deal with the other supplies in the treasure chest.
Plant the rosemary along with the two small plants you obtained earlier in the advanced planting box, then put away the Q&A book.
There's only one candied hawthorn left, and I don't know what to do with it.
The candied hawthorns were coated with a thick but transparent sugar coating, which looked very tempting, but it didn't appeal to Lu Youyou at all.
She doesn't like sweets, even sweet and sour candied hawthorn.
The description on the candied hawthorn skewer says that it's the only hawthorn fruit from the only hawthorn tree in the dense forest dungeon, and it's very popular with the little monsters.
Combining this with what the little duckling had said to her yesterday, she knew that this might be the hawthorn tree's recognition of her, now that it had developed its own consciousness.
Or it could be the recognition from a dungeon master you've never met before.
It wouldn't be good to just throw it away, so Lu Youyou picked up the hawthorn and looked around.
Since someone just pointed out that there was a treasure chest here, they are probably also quietly observing her actions.
"I don't like sweets, so I won't eat the sugar coating on the outside."
She took out disposable gloves and a small plastic bowl, put all the sugar-coated hawthorns into the bowl, and used her gloved hands to break off the outer layer of rock sugar.
Then take out your chopsticks, pick out the bare hawthorns, and put them in your mouth.
"hiss--"
It's so sour, it makes my mouth water like crazy.
Lu Youyou's face was contorted. She felt that she could now pretend to be a wrongfully killed ghost and scare people half to death with just her expression.
There were five hawthorns on a string of candied hawthorns. Lu Youyou ate one, leaving four.
She finished the remaining four in one go, chewed them haphazardly, and then rinsed them with water.
"Thank you, I'm leaving now. I'll leave these candies here; perhaps some bees will like them."
After Lu Youyou left, a leafless, withered vine wrapped around the small plastic bowl and pulled it to Gu Jingchen's side.
"Ku Teng, do you think she's stupid? I just changed the description of the supplies a little, and she thinks those hawthorns are incredibly precious."
Ku Teng's voice was childish, like that of a three- or four-year-old boy.
"But the bark of the withered vine is very precious, and the owner did not change the description of the bark."
Gu Jingchen ignored Ku Teng's words and continued talking to himself.
"How could someone be so stupid? Doesn't she know that dungeon bosses can alter the loot descriptions within the dungeon to some extent?"
"Lu Youyou is human, it's normal for humans not to know."
Gu Jingchen ignored the withered vines and simply operated his watch, his lips moving as he murmured something softly.
"Hmm, Lu Youyou is stupid and suspicious. Once she finds out there are other hawthorn trees, she will definitely think that the dungeon boss is harmful to her and probably won't believe it."
“The hawthorn grove on the east side is no longer needed. Let’s keep only one tree and replace the rest with an orange grove.”
"Sigh, what an understanding boss I am. I hope she can get the chance to meet the Lord. I would rather it be her than anyone else."
