Chapter 54 Continuous Practice
The night was as dark as ink, and the monsters with health bars on both sides of the desert highway were stirring restlessly.
Yu Qi stood on the top of the armored vehicle, holding the Qingyou Sword. The sword's edge reflected the cold moonlight, and a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes were slowly approaching from all around.
This time, the monsters include sand wolves, poisonous scorpions, and flying vultures.
If Yu Qi rushed up to fight these monsters, she would find that the vultures were obviously more powerful tonight. Could it be that the monsters were going berserk at night?
However, no matter how powerful these monsters were, they couldn't stop her. Because none of them had a longer health bar than the python and the wild boar brothers!
"Come on, let's have an extra treat tonight!" She grinned maliciously at the night sky and suddenly jumped off the roof of the car.
The sword flashed like lightning, cleaving the sand wolves in two at the front, but more monsters pounced from the side.
Yu Qi rolled away to dodge the scorpion's sting, then used her Water Spirit Technique to condense an ice spike, which pierced the vulture's wing with a "plop".
"roar!"
A three-meter-tall lizard suddenly emerged from the sand, its tail sweeping towards her waist.
Yu Qi had already spotted the hidden health bar. Even though the lizard, which blended seamlessly into the sand, thought it was well hidden, in the pitch-black night sky, the opponent's health bar shone as brightly as a beacon.
He lunged forward, his toes barely touching the ground, gripping his sword with both hands, and used the momentum of his fall to slash at the lizard's head!
"Clang!" Sparks flew everywhere. Only a white mark remained on the lizard's head, but the shock left her hands numb.
"Tsk, thick-skinned." She spat and then switched to using the Tiger Fist technique from the Shadow Tiger Cult.
As she activated the Dao Yi Breathing Technique, her right fist suddenly emitted an icy blue light, vaguely condensing into a tiger claw phantom.
"boom!"
He punched the lizard in the eye socket, and moisture instantly spread throughout its body along the crack.
The lizard froze, and Yu Qi seized the opportunity to leap onto its back, stabbing the Azure Nether Sword fiercely into it!
Successfully dealt with a fleshy lizard!
The remaining monsters began to retreat upon seeing this. But Yu Qi was not about to let them go.
With the Water Spirit spell fully activated, countless water spikes exploded on the desert, stringing the fleeing monsters together like candied hawthorns.
"Phew, this feeling of going all out is really exhilarating, but it's also incredibly exhausting. I feel like my fatigue level is about to explode!" She gasped for breath, wiped her face, and drank a bottle of tomato juice produced by the farm.
Sure enough, the tomato juice produced by the processing plant was delicious. After drinking a bottle, my fatigue level dropped rapidly and returned to yellow.
Having these tomatoes in hand is really convenient, since fighting is very tiring and fatigue levels rise very quickly.
This tomato juice can replenish your energy anytime! It's not a health bar, but it's even better than one!
Yu Qi thought that he could plant more tomatoes tonight and process a larger batch of tomato juice to sell in the chat room. He believed that many people would like it.
"Brother Tiger, how did I handle this time?" Yu Qi turned to look at Ying Hu.
Shadow Tiger was squatting down next to the armored vehicle at some point, a hint of admiration flashing in his golden vertical pupils.
Seeing Yu Qi looking over, it slowly raised its paw and let out a howl.
The voice seemed to be saying, "Not bad, keep it up, keep up the good work!"
Yu Qi's eyes lit up, and she jogged over to pull out her secret stash of spicy meat sauce. "Want to try a flavor you've never had before?"
Previously, the meat sauce given to Tiger Brother was all plain, and Yu Qi wanted to know if this powerful tiger could eat spicy food.
Shadow Tiger lowered its head and sniffed, then suddenly sneezed and disgustedly pushed the can away with its paw.
"Hahaha, so you're afraid of spicy food!" She laughed so hard she almost fell over, and then plopped down on the sand next to Shadow Tiger.
Tiger rolled his eyes, but didn't move away, letting her rest against his furry side.
As the night breeze blew by, Yu Qi looked at the monster remains scattered all over the ground, threw them all into the processing workshop to be dismantled, and stretched contentedly.
Oh dear, Tiger's little belly is really fluffy and very warm. It's just a pity that the weather has been too hot lately, otherwise she would definitely stay a little longer!
Yu Qi drank another bottle of tomato juice and was fully recharged.
"Let's get to work!"
She rummaged through her trading shop for a while and found that she had already collected all the resources needed for the powerful air conditioner and the mobile turret, and was just waiting to manufacture them!
Although the name "Old Six" is unreliable, its speed is still very fast, making it a model among intelligent agents!
Yu Qi stuffed the last piece of universal metal into the workbench, and with a "ding" sound, the first powerful air conditioner was quickly completed.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, put all the collected resources into it, and began to make the second air conditioner.
Not long after, she looked with satisfaction at the neatly arranged air conditioners in the warehouse.
"The resources we received today are only enough to make seven powerful air conditioners, but that's fine."
Of course, such a good product should be sold to our own people first.
Yu Qi quickly posted the seven air conditioners in the grocery shopping group.
Everyone is familiar with her, and her pricing isn't high. The basic resources needed for each air conditioner, plus one intermediate energy heart, can be exchanged.
The moment the air conditioner was put on the shelves, the group chat exploded with messages.
AAA Highway Grocery Shopping Group
The bald girl's stubbornness: "Boss! I got one! Resources delivered! Also, I have a few light fog bombs here, which I got from opening crates. You can buy them here if you need them. Throwing them out will definitely blind the monsters!"
Dreaming of becoming a live-in son-in-law: "I got it too! Look at my Mighty Meat! It dropped from the Wild Boar King, and it temporarily gives you +5 Strength, no side effects! Anyone who needs meat, come find me!"
Rampaging Lolita: "Wow, it's a powerful air conditioner! I really need one! I have explosive bombs here, they're really useful, you can buy them from me if you need them!"
Lolita: "Air conditioning saved my life! Here's a bottle of insect venom for you, boss. Apply it to your weapons, and monsters will lose health if they get near it!"
The man, who was taciturn, said: "I have some special metals here. If you need them, come find me as soon as possible."
Baiyi, who is brewing tea, said: "I don't have any special resources here, but I picked a green-skinned fruit from a tree before. It has a certain detoxifying effect. Friends who have been poisoned can come to me!"
...
Yu Qi did need those light mist eggs and insect poison, so he bought a copy of each.
She also desperately needs special metals, as they are essential resources for vehicle upgrades.
Because this resource is very special, she didn't offer many, so she simply discussed it with the taciturn man and exchanged a powerful air conditioner for fifty portions of special metal from the other party.
Just then, Xinghe Rumeng sent a private message: "Hey bro, I have special protective gear that can protect my chest and joints. Can I get an air conditioner instead? I just finished upgrading my vehicle tonight, and I've run out of universal metal and iron blocks..."
Yu Qi glanced at the protective gear attributes he sent, which reduced physical damage by 30%, and readily agreed.
After the transaction was completed, she tallied her spoils: 2 Light Mist Bombs, 5 Mighty Meat, 1 Insect Venom, 1 Special Protective Gear, 50 Special Metals...
In addition, a bunch of basic resources.
"Time to get down to business." She rubbed her hands together, brought up the workbench interface, and looked forward to the turret construction that was about to begin.
[Mobile Turret Blueprint: 10 All-Purpose Metal, 30 Iron Blocks, 3 Alloy Plates, 30 Gunpowder, 30 Energy Cores]
"We have enough materials to build two!" She decisively clicked to start production.
Twenty minutes later, two pitch-black gun emplacements appeared on the open ground.
The cannon barrel gleamed coldly, and the base could rotate 360 degrees. Its attributes were displayed as: [Range 200 meters, blast radius 5 meters, requires Energy Core].
"Let's test its power!" Yu Qi excitedly picked up one of the machines, aimed it at the distant sand dunes, and pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The sand dune was blasted into a three-meter-deep crater, and the shockwave made her take two steps back.
"Wow!" Her eyes lit up, then a sudden idea struck her, "Could we load it onto the car?"
She climbed onto the top of the armored vehicle and, sure enough, discovered a hidden slot on the roof. The turret clicked into place, fitting perfectly.
"Isn't this an armored vehicle?" Yu Qi laughed and immediately installed the second turret at the rear of the vehicle.
The assistant couldn't help but complain, "Seventh brother, you're like a hedgehog now."
"Hedgehogs are great, they prick anyone who touches them!" She patted the cannon barrel and turned to look at the Space Home.
In the field, the mutated chili pepper sprout was directing the other sprouts to water the fields, while one of the wheat sprouts, swaying its golden ears of grain, was slacking off.
"Two more little ones?" Yu Qi squatted down.
A freshly sprouted chili seedling burst into flames with a "poof," while another wheat seedling shot out grains with a "whoosh," creating a crater in the nearby field.
"This power is really impressive. We'll need to collect more crops in the future."
"Will there be potato landmines or corn cannons in the future?" Her imagination ran wild, and she was very excited about the future, happily planting a new batch of crops.
Before going to bed, she drank bird's nest and white fungus soup to boost her health while checking the group chat.
The stubborn bald girl: "@HunterMoment, the air conditioner is installed! It's 25 degrees Celsius in the car, I'm so moved I could cry!"
Xinghe Rumeng: "This air conditioner is great. I read the details, and it can even handle some extreme weather conditions."
"As expected of the master hunter, he only mentioned it once, and he quickly brought out this powerful air conditioner."
The bald girl's stubbornness: "Did you see that, boss? Someone's selling air conditioners in the chat lobby, and the price is skyrocketing."
