Chapter 104 Butcher Sequence
"Brother Dao, where are you going?" The little girl tensed up instantly when she saw Xu Si walking towards the other convoys.
"I'm going out to take a look!"
"Didn't you say we weren't allowed to go out and to wait for Brother Fu to come back?" The little girl was confused. Didn't you just say we weren't allowed to go out?
"I'm talking about you!" Xu Si spread his hands, indicating what could you do to him.
"Me...?" The little girl looked at Su Su.
Su Su's expression said it all; he was right.
"You...?" The little girl wanted to say something more, but Xu Si had already walked towards the other convoys.
He wanted to confirm whether his younger sister was there as soon as possible, even if the hope was slim.
"Ah...why is this happening?!" The little girl could only stand there, helplessly furious.
Xu Si ignored Jiao Jiao's protests. The concealment effect of the [Empty Cloak] was quietly activated, and his figure became blurred in the interlacing light and shadow cast by the ruins, as if he had merged into the scorching wind of the Gobi Desert.
He did not head straight for the central square—it was too conspicuous.
He chose the direction of other teams, without asking or contacting them. With "Star Trail" fully activated, he filtered through all the personnel of the other teams.
With the help of star trails, only a very few cases will be missed, and this efficiency is definitely faster than asking in person.
At the same time, Xu Si can also get a general understanding of other teams.
He also had a good understanding of the number and quality of the superhumans in other teams, which was one of the purposes of his trip.
Xu Si's figure appeared and disappeared among the ruins. The gray mist of the [Empty Cloak] intertwined with the light and shadow, making him look like a ghost wandering in the ruins.
The first area we passed was the "Magic Circus" area.
This place is more like a zoo, with lions, tigers, horses, wolves, elephants, and other animals, all of which are very well-behaved.
Xu Si also "saw" Xiao Xiao trimming the nails of the only remaining "elephant," which was originally quite small.
In just over a month, he has grown up and is no less powerful than the two elephants that the big bird snatched away. This must be the special feature of the Ihei Beast Tamer sequence!
Xu Si's "star trails" swept over the circus crowd, but no one noticed anything unusual.
Their number of superhumans has neither increased nor decreased.
He had no trace of his sister.
A hint of disappointment, which he had long been accustomed to, swept through Xu Si's heart. Without stopping, he continued to venture deeper into the next place.
The next area should be the base of the "Wantong Caravan".
Their convoy was characterized by several reinforced large vans neatly arranged with their cargo boxes open, resembling a peddler traveling the streets before the apocalypse.
Moreover, the caravan was very well-stocked, with everything from small pots and pans to large metal parts. It really was a merchant caravan. I wonder how they managed to collect so many goods.
No one in this convoy gave him a particularly dangerous feeling, so their overall strength was probably average, but they were certainly rolling in money.
Xu Si, a member of the "Wild Bull Car Team," also failed to spot his sister.
This place is more like a feudal society, where the extraordinary possess everything, while ordinary people can only eke out a living.
Xu Si didn't look around much; after confirming that his younger sister wasn't there, he left directly.
The "Turtle Team" campsite was quiet, even somewhat deathly still.
Their vehicles looked very old, but their bodies were unusually thick and covered with scratches and dents, as if they had been through countless impacts.
"Who?" Xu Si's star trail had just extended out, preparing for a detailed search, when he was discovered.
However, his location does not seem to be confirmed.
Xu Si didn't take any chances and chose to leave directly. He lost the initiative, and the other party became wary. Even if they negotiated, it would probably not yield any results.
Xu Si decided not to look for it anymore, and instead asked Xiao Xiao to do another divination.
After all that trouble, when Xu Si returned, Fu Xiaojian had already returned as well.
Fu Xiaojian didn't ask any questions about Xu Si's whereabouts and went straight to talking about what they had just discussed.
Upon seeing Xu Si return, Fu Xiaojian nodded to him succinctly.
"The specifics of what kind of strange event will be hunted haven't been revealed yet, but we will definitely communicate with the various teams before it officially begins."
"As for the trade fair, it will take place two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset each day, for a total of three days. The location will be in the square, and the 'Martial God Caravan' will ensure the safety of the transactions."
"What about the awakening potion?" Shao Bing asked, this was what he was most concerned about.
"The Martial God Caravan has agreed to provide custom-made Awakening Potions to the three caravans that contribute the most to a successful hunt! Materials must be provided by the caravan itself! Success rate of awakening is not guaranteed!"
"The Martial God Caravan currently only has two Awakening Potions: one for the Butcher sequence and one for the Gardener sequence. However, both are extremely expensive, and the success rate of awakening is not guaranteed! According to Wu Yue, their caravan's Awakening Potions currently have a success rate of approximately 50%!"
Everyone frowned. The various car teams responded to the call of the Martial God Car Team, and the Awakening Potion played an absolutely important role in this.
"So what exactly is the price?"
"The Butcher's Sequence Awakening Potion yields four Oddities or double the Oddity drop rate, while the Gardener's Sequence Awakening Potion yields three Oddities or double the Oddity drop rate!"
This is understandable. The Butcher sequence is obviously a combat sequence, while the Gardener is most likely a support sequence, so the price difference is natural.
Even Xu Si was astonished; it seemed Jia Zhenxin had actually given them a bargain.
After all, he only wanted five of the Scavenger Sequence Awakening Potions. It's only because their caravan was poor that they could have made an extra piece of the strange drop by reselling them now.
The little girl looked at Xu Si with a relieved expression. It was good that Brother Dao only took four of her dropped items. If it were at the market price, she would have had to pay back for them forever.
"This is way too expensive!" Shao Bing had originally planned to get one for Li Miao as well, but the price was beyond his reach.
In fact, for most racing teams, this price is just right; they can manage to scrape together the money if they grit their teeth.
If the Salary Train team didn't have the bug involving Xu Si, there would be at least a dozen more strange drops by now.
Four of them were obtained in exchange with Jia Zhenxin, and two were acquired from the Blazing Chariot team.
So, by that calculation, their convoy obtained at least six or seven strange drops along the way on their own.
Even if other car teams can't compare to the Xinhuo car team, they're certainly not far behind, and with a little effort, they can still buy a sequence potion.
So this trade fair is most likely just a way for the various teams to exchange information and bid against each other.
After all, there were only two vials of the medicine.
Xu Si suddenly realized that the smelting apprentice sequence potion in his pocket had suddenly become very important.
"Other teams will definitely come to our team to discuss exchanging the strange drops. Old Xu, you can decide for yourself. Exchange however you want. If others are blind, you don't have to hold back!" Fu Xiaojian said directly.
He certainly didn't expect that Xu Si had already used up almost all of his strange drops, and he only had one strange drop left in his pocket, which was the [Sandfly Skin] he had just acquired.
Shao Bing glanced at Xu Si again, surprised that the strange fall of the convoy was all in the hands of this young man.
Could it be that he really...
Shao Bing had only recently joined the company and was unaware of many things, which made it easy for him to make a misjudgment. At this moment, he couldn't help but elevate Xu Si's importance.
