Chapter 72 I was pricked with a needle
"Brother Dao, you seem to be in a good mood?" Even Xiao Luo could see Xu Si's smugness.
"Not bad, you survived a close call, aren't you happy?"
Xu Si almost blurted it out.
How did you know I have 113200 purification points?
"Brother Dao, tell me honestly, did you find some treasure?"
The little girl circled around Xu Si, wanting to see where he hid the treasure, otherwise why would he be so smug?
"Go away, you little brat, what do you know?"
While munching on dried fish, Xu Si was finally pulled back to reality.
Although he has become rich, he is not completely rich. He has a lot of purification points, but they are completely useless now!
He had just taken the sequence enhancement potion and needed time to digest its effects. There was no need for him to take more in the short term, so it certainly wasn't because he was afraid of pain.
The Sword of Punishment and the Wax-Melting Messenger currently have no suitable "weird drops" and cannot be upgraded anymore.
How about we arrange some [Sequence Enhancement Potions] for the brothers and sisters?
"Brother Dao, what are you grinning about again?" Jiao Jiao leaned closer to the car window, eyeing him suspiciously.
Xu Si snapped back to reality and coughed lightly: "I was thinking about how to spend... no, I was thinking about today's route."
He glanced at the little girl's slightly chapped cheeks, suddenly thought of his younger sister who was about the same age as her, and on a whim asked, "Do you want to awaken your sequence?"
"what?"
Xu Si regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, but luckily the little girl didn't shout.
Jiao Jiao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, like two brightened stars, wide open.
She clung to the car window, her little head trying to peek into Xu Si's car, her voice trembling with excitement: "Brother Dao... are you serious? I... I can awaken my sequence?"
Looking at her eyes that lit up instantly, and the expression that was filled with longing and uncertainty, Xu Si's regret vanished.
He nodded knowingly, "Theoretically, it's possible!"
Xu Si couldn't help but consider this possibility. If the team had more extraordinary members, they would be more confident in facing the strange or other teams.
He was just unsure whether he should reveal his ability to create Sequence Awakening Potions.
Damn it, it's the apocalypse, why is he thinking about all this?
Are we going to wait until everyone becomes the monster's prey before we regret it?
Jiao Jiao gripped the edge of the car window tightly with her small hands, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes slightly red.
Before the apocalypse, her parents were always busy with work and left her at her aunt's house. Although her aunt's family treated her like their own daughter, almost all the warmth she experienced came from her aunt's family.
This is what shaped her sharp-tongued personality. She never expected that even in the apocalypse, she would still meet someone who treats her so well.
"Brother Dao! No, no, no! My dear brother, you'll inherit all our family's wealth from now on. You're my real brother! You wouldn't want your sister to be eaten by some monster, would you? I knew you'd have a way!"
The little girl's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were red, clearly recalling the times she had been powerless to help but watch her companions fight.
Looking at her like this, Xu Si felt a heavy weight in his heart.
If even a little girl with someone to protect her has such a hard time, what about her own sister?
Next time I encounter Xiaoxiao, I must kidnap her; the fortune teller's abilities are just too overpowered.
"Alright, I'll definitely let you know when I'm able to make the awakening potion!"
He grinned, revealing his signature slightly roguish smile, giving the impression that the blond-haired kid was about to make his move on the innocent girl.
Of course, Xu Si is now Little Red Hair.
"Ah... Red-haired monster! You tricked me!... You deceived my feelings! I'm going to tell my aunt!"
The little girl's voice was filled with disappointment and grievance, and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall. Just now, she seemed to have really seen hope.
It's not about my own hope of survival, but about the hope of being able to truly help.
She didn't want her aunt to come back covered in injuries every time, she didn't want to be stuck in the pickup truck when the convoy encountered danger, and she didn't want to become a burden to the convoy.
Just like she didn't want to be a burden to her parents.
Xu Si laughed and stopped teasing her. He said seriously, "I'm not kidding you, I'm serious. It's just that making the Sequence Awakening Potion isn't that simple. Once I've made it, I'll let you try it first."
His words were half true and half false. It was true that purification points could directly upgrade awakening potions, but it did require suitable strange drops.
He has now used all the loot from the caravan to craft artifacts, so he is no longer able to craft Sequence Awakening Potions.
Moreover, explaining the source is also a problem.
He also didn't want everyone in the team to immediately develop unrealistic expectations.
Of course, if he could make the awakening potion, there would be many benefits, such as improving the strength of the caravan, and giving the ordinary people in the caravan a vague hope, so that they would not be as numb as they are now.
As for who to give the potion to after it is successfully made, Xu Si has also considered it.
The two people he's most likely to give it to are Jiao Jiao and Wang Hu.
No matter how you rank them, Jiao Jiao will definitely be number one.
It wasn't just because he was simple-minded, but also because she was a peripheral figure in the core group.
A single extraordinary sequence represents a core position in a team. If Jiao Jiao awakens, it won't have a significant impact on the core circle of the team, but if Wang Hu awakens, it's hard to say.
Looking at Xu Si's serious expression, Jiao Jiao was still somewhat skeptical, but the grievances and disappointments in her heart dissipated considerably.
She sniffled and said in a nasal voice, "Well... it's a deal! If you get it, give it to me first! Otherwise... otherwise I'll... make you nag me to death!"
After thinking for a long time, the little girl finally figured out what could threaten Xu Si.
Xu Si was amused by her "vicious" threat and nodded repeatedly: "Alright, alright, I'm scared of you. But you should know the first rule of the caravan, right? Think ahead about what you're going to offer in exchange?"
"You...you...you pervert! You really wanted to do something to me? I still..."
The little girl jumped off Xu Si's vehicle in an instant, and hesitated for a moment.
Although she also longed for a sweet romance at school, it wasn't impossible...
However, she is still a minor, and it's uncertain whether Brother Dao can wait two years.
"What are you thinking? Brother Dao, you're a man I'll never have."
"What I mean is, from now on, if you encounter anything supernatural, you go first! If Brother Dao is in danger, you have to risk your life for him! And when you get any supernatural loot, you have to let Brother Dao pick it first!"
"Are you even human?"
The more she talked, the darker the little girl's face became. This made her even angrier than what she had just said. She would rather get rid of it once and for all!
Just think of it as being pricked by a needle.
"I can't just give it away for free! And you can't take it for free either, right? Don't I know you? Are you the kind of person who takes things for free?"
The little girl stared intently, as if she wanted to reply: She was someone who would take it for free.
But she was being held up by Brother Dao, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.
