The capsule sped through the darkness.
Qin Siyang looked at this strange scene and exclaimed in surprise.
"How is this done?"
Lu Daoxing said, "This is one of my God Hunting tools. Outside the Safe Zone it has both god-hunting and life-saving capabilities. Inside the Safe Zone, it's one of the ways I use for concealed movement."
"One of them? Professor Lu still has more tricks?"
Zhang Kuang yawned, "Old Lu has more tricks than you can count, and his stuff upgrades fast. He's like a mobile fortress, his whole body is made of trump cards."
Qin Siyang nodded, "Professor Lu is amazing!"
Qin Siyang also made a new plan.
From now on, he had to tightly hug Lu Daoxing's thigh.
Get him to make a few God Hunting tools for himself to use as trump cards too.
"Professor Lu, do you know where we're going?"
Lu Daoxing pointed at the screen in front.
"Professor Chang has already sent me Old Li's location. I just need to follow him."
"Professor Chang can contact Old Li? I remember his phone was turned off."
"Old Li turned off his phone, but didn't turn off his signal device."
Zhang Kuang said, "Old Li left without telling us. If he had turned off the signal device too, even a fool would know something's off about this trip."
Qin Siyang asked, "Then what is Old Li doing now?"
"According to the signal location display, he's heading to Zone 3."
"How did he go? Does he also have a magical God Hunting tool like Professor Lu?"
"He hired a car."
"Hired a car?", Qin Siyang was shocked, "If he hired a car, wouldn't that immediately expose him?"
"From Zone 9 to Zone 3, you have to pass through dozens of zones, plus all the checkpoints and such. Wouldn't Old Li be discovered by Guo Jiuxiao before he even arrived?"
"Could Old Li be in danger on the way?"
Zhang Kuang scratched his messy hair, feeling like he was always trying to fix it, but it never stayed neat, "Whether Guo Jiuxiao knows Old Li's movements or not doesn't matter at all."
"Director Zhang, what do you mean?"
"I know Guo Jiuxiao all too well. To put it harshly, he's opportunistic. To put it nicely, he's goal-oriented."
"If he could manipulate Ye Hongqing into doing this, then there's no doubt he wants Old Li to kill someone, then catch him red-handed."
"Sending people to assassinate Old Li would only bring trouble for himself. Besides, Old Li is tied to the Crimson Crystal, he wouldn't dare to make a move to kill."
"So, he just needs to station people near Ye Hongqing and wait for Old Li to walk right into the trap."
"Old Li surely understands this, which is why he dared to openly hire a car to Zone 3."
Qin Siyang nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is!"
Lu Daoxing added, "Old Zhang, since we're traveling underground, we can go straight. At our speed, we'll probably arrive a day earlier than Old Li."
"Earlier is fine. Just right for observation and planning."
"Alright."
Because it was pitch black on both sides, Qin Siyang started feeling a bit bored.
Thinking for a moment, since this was underground, he asked, "Professor Lu, do you think there's Yellow-Silver Star Ore down here? Is there any chance we might run into it?"
Lu Daoxing laughed aloud, "It's not that easy to find!"
"The underground definitely has it. But where it is. I really don't know."
"I've wandered underground outside the Safe Zone countless times, and only found a few strange ores. Never once have I seen any sign of Yellow-Silver Star Ore."
"Honestly, I'm not even sure whether this thing is truly a post-apocalyptic resource or something Zhong Dingming made up himself."
"Alright, I guess that makes sense...", There was a hint of disappointment in Qin Siyang's expression.
This Yellow-Silver Star Ore really was a complete mystery.
Zhang Kuang asked, "Why, you want Yellow-Silver Star Ore?"
"What would I want that for? I was thinking of getting it for Old Li, so he can break through his research bottleneck. If Old Li gets stronger, wouldn't that mean we all get stronger?"
"Well said," Zhang Kuang smiled at Qin Siyang and didn't say more.
"Let's keep moving. There's food and drink under your seats. If you're hungry or thirsty, help yourselves. If you need to use the bathroom, just let me know and I'll stop so you can do your business."
Qin Siyang was puzzled, "Wait, Professor Lu, if we go to the surface to relieve ourselves, won't it easily expose our location?"
"Who said anything about going to the surface?"
"Then you mean…"
"Right here. I'll stop, then you open the door, dig a pee-hole underground, and do your business there."
"You can even do that?"
"What did you think?"

The journey was long.
Zhang Kuang was sleeping.
Hao Liang was holding a notebook, calculating and simulating some kind of potion.
Lu Daoxing was driving the capsule.
Qin Siyang took out his phone and looked at the information about gods that Professor Chang Tianxiang had given him.
Li Tianming had said that in addition to the round shell plates of his own Lava Crocodile and Ice Crystal Giant Moth, the sacrificial offering required a hundred identical small god round shell plates.
And the higher the scores of these hundred small god plates, the better the feedback on the Path of the Believer.
The standard for a medium god is a round shell plate score of over 200.
So, Qin Siyang needed to find small gods with the highest scores that still weren't too rare.
After helping Old Li kill Ye Hongqing, he would leave the Safe Zone again to hunt gods.
The round shell plate score for his target small gods had to be above 110.
Only when it exceeded 110 would he read the details more carefully.
In addition to reading the info provided by Chang Tianxiang, he would also log into [Godslayer Camp] and [Sequence Education] to look up relevant data.
Although the forum rarely had posts discussing high-score gods, he could still find some clues.
At the very least, he could figure out how often these gods appeared and whether it was possible to collect a hundred of them.
But when Qin Siyang logged into Sequence Education, his eyes immediately locked onto his own information panel.

[Research Points: 0]
More than a week had passed, and Zhang Kuang and the others still hadn't provided him with any gains.
'Damn it.'
'Took the money and did nothing!'
The Crimson Crystal was handed over, the Vine Core was shared, but there's no word about any papers.
'As expected of people who hang around Li Tianming.'
'Exactly the same attitude!'
Right now, Qin Siyang really wanted to kick Zhang Kuang awake and make him hurry up and write a paper for him.
But thinking it over, he held back.
Zhang Kuang always had dead eyes, always looked like he could never wake up.
To avoid delaying the effort to help Old Li, he held back.
'Forget it.'
Luckily, he had a backup.
After Professors Chang Tianxiang and Chang Tianxiong got the Thunder Snow Wolf's tongue, they promised to list him on the paper.
As the only decent guy in Li Tianming's team, Qin Siyang had a really good impression of them.
He believed that soon, the two Professors Chang would give him a good response.
At this moment, Qin Siyang suddenly saw a post with extremely high popularity on the forum.
It made his eyes light up.
