Chapter 153 Ten Years of Players
The newly hatched turtle was exceptionally tiny, with adorable little paws. Yu Qi curiously poked the little turtle.
However, when she withdrew her finger, she found that the little turtle was clinging to her index finger and wouldn't let go.
Although this little turtle had just been born, it was incredibly strong. No matter how much the other turtles tried to persuade it, the newly hatched turtle refused to let go.
Just as the group of turtles were looking at each other in bewilderment, the leader of the group decided: "It's alright, since you're a guest of our turtle family, we'll give you this baby turtle. She really likes you anyway."
Yu Qi: "???"
This is outrageous! They're even forcibly giving away turtles!
God knows she only glanced at the little turtle when it was hatching, and then gently touched it after it hatched!
The large tortoise on the other side had already placed the small tortoise into his palm without hesitation: "Honorable guest, please don't worry, we will prepare food for this baby tortoise from the moment it hatches until it grows up. You just need to keep it with you."
Seeing the sincere expressions on the turtles' faces, and looking at the little turtle that refused to let go no matter what, Yu Qi finally nodded silently.
Okay, getting a little turtle sounds pretty good, right?
Since it brings its own food, she doesn't need to go out and find food for the turtle.
And so, Yu Qi set off with the little turtle. The little turtle stretched its head forward, curiously looking at the surrounding scenery, and finally quietly rubbed against her finger.
The landmass where the turtle family lives is very large, looking like a giant island.
Yu Qi was pondering how to inquire about the black ore when she looked up and noticed some humans working there.
She thought she was seeing things, so she looked at them more closely and found that they were indeed ordinary humans. Some of them were carrying weapons, but the weapons were not of a high level.
Noticing Yu Qi's curiosity about that area, the tortoise beside him explained, "Honorable guest, those are humans we employ. These humans were recruited by the players. We have signed agreements; the humans work for us, and we provide them with shelter and sufficient food..."
Yu Qi became increasingly alarmed as she listened, and asked calmly, "How many years have these humans been working here?"
The tortoise next to him tilted its head and thought carefully: "Some of them have been working for ten years, while others were only recruited a few months ago. In any case, giant ships transport these humans here every now and then."
"If those humans want to continue to survive, they have to choose land. Our turtle family is treated quite well, so there are quite a few human employees here."
"There are humans on other continents too. There's no other way; these humans are the cheapest, and many monster families like to hire them."
Yu Qi: "..."
Humans, the cheapest?
However, the information provided by these turtles also gave her new inspiration.
This survival game has been going on for at least ten years, and maybe her parents and sister are still on some continent in this world.
This is already very good news.
Yu Qi thought for a moment and then asked, "If I want to find someone who appeared six or seven years ago, how do I do it?"
The giant tortoise immediately introduced, "You can find our Grand Elder. Our Grand Elder knows everything. Nothing that happens in the tortoise family can escape his eyes."
"But if you want the Grand Elder to help, you need to offer enough Energy Hearts. If you don't have enough Energy Hearts, even if you are a distinguished guest of our clan, the Grand Elder will not pay any attention to you."
After listening, Yu Qi seemed to be deep in thought. She thought that she did have quite a lot of Energy Hearts. She had accumulated a lot in the past few days and hadn't even upgraded her vehicle yet.
Currently, everyone's vehicles are on the giant ship, so upgrading the vehicles has become secondary. Instead, we can use these Energy Hearts to find our parents and sister.
Finally, Yu Qi asked about the tungsten ore: "I heard that the Turtle family is most famous for its tungsten ore. I came here to learn more about it and to explore the possibility of a partnership with you."
Unexpectedly, the giant tortoise scratched the ground and said, "Dear customer, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but the latest batch of mined black ore has all been put into blind boxes by us."
"If you want to get this kind of mineral, it depends on luck. You can go to our turtle clan's shopping mall and take a look. There are many clansmen selling blind boxes there."
Yu Qi could only nod: "Okay, I'll go and take a look myself when the time comes."
In fact, Yu Qi felt that she had it in the bag.
The first time she saw a turtle hurting someone, she was able to distinguish the light emanating from those blind boxes.
Now, these lights can be used to determine which blind boxes the black ore has been distributed into.
Of course, one might even be able to make a quick buck here.
However, Yu Qi did not intend to go too far, after all, this was the territory of the Turtle Clan.
What if she escapes with too many good things and we can't let her leave?
