"You want the Human-Faced Scorpion's face skin?"
When Nana, no, Sun Xixi told Chen Ye that she actually wanted the Human-Faced Scorpion's face skin too.
Chen Ye was quite surprised.
When they found this human-like skin yesterday, Sun Xixi had been extrely resistant to it, unwilling to even glance at it for more than a mont.
He never expected that before dawn had even broken, this woman's thoughts had completely changed.
Right now she was using a sowhat coquettish tone with Chen Ye.
"Yes, that Human-Faced Scorpion is really good stuff, I want it!"
"Big brother, please help out!"
Chen Ye was seven or eight years older than the eighteen-year-old Nana, no, Sun Xixi, so calling him big brother wasn't inappropriate.
"But what about yesterday..."
"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today."
"Yesterday when we killed the Human-Faced Scorpion, it dropped two Wonder materials total - the carapace counts as one, and that human face skin counts as another."
"Not to ntion the carapace, just that human face skin alone is definitely extraordinary."
"How can you tell?"
Chen Ye interrupted Sun Xixi's words, asking with surprise.
He had the System and could appraise items.
But this pink-haired girl in front of him - how did she know?
Did she have so secret thod he wasn't aware of?
"Are you stupid? That human face skin gives you the creeps and makes you uncomfortable just looking at it, while the carapace doesn't provoke much reaction."
"Any Wonder material that can cause discomfort in people is most likely valuable stuff!"
"This is an important standard for judging whether Wonder materials are precious or not."
"Of course, this judgnt standard isn't necessarily accurate, but it shouldn't be wrong for that Human-Faced Scorpion's face skin."
He never expected this pink-haired girl, despite her young age, understood more than he did.
Chen Ye rembered the Flayed Ghost's Scalp he had collected - when he first saw it, he also felt uncomfortable.
This thod probably worked.
"According to the convoy's rules, the four of us are supposed to split things equally."
"Big brother, please give your share! You're from the chanic Sequence, and if you negotiate with the captain and Big Fool, it'll definitely work out."
"And then you can help upgrade my sword!"
The pink-haired girl rolled over and directly pulled out the long sword she had been lying on.
"How do you know I can upgrade..."
Halfway through his sentence, Chen Ye realized he'd asked a stupid question.
"Hehe... Do you think I'm stupid? Your vehicle changes every day - we actually figured out long ago that you might not be from the chanic Sequence."
"But who doesn't have so secrets nowadays? Did you think only you had them?"
"Hehe..."
The girl's face was full of cunning expression, like a little fox.
The girl turned her attention back to the long sword and continued:
"Every Sword Immortal Sequence user needs to have a lifebound sword. This sword was originally just a display piece my grandfather collected."
"Since I beca a superhuman, this sword has never left my side, and its current number is only in the three thousands."
"Big brother, I know you have a way to upgrade Wonders, please help !"
The girl grabbed Chen Ye's arm while acting coquettish.
Even her form of address had beco sickeningly sweet.
Chen Ye didn't soften because of the girl's coquettish behavior, nor did his stance loosen because their relationship had beco more intimate last night.
His eyes instead grew increasingly clear: "What will you trade for it?"
When Sun Xixi heard Chen Ye's words, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him.
I'm like this with you, and you're still calculating so clearly with ?
"One thing at a ti, I'll be straightforward - I want that Human-Faced Scorpion's face skin too."
"Alright then, I'll trade my share of the carapace for your share of the Human-Faced Scorpion's face skin! I'll take the Human-Faced Scorpion's face skin, you take the Human-Faced Scorpion's carapace!"
"I can help you make Wonders, but my services are expensive!"
"Also, I can help you negotiate with Chu Che and Iron Lion, but... sa question, what will you trade for my help?"
Chen Ye's attitude was completely that of negotiation.
"Chen Ye, you bastard, get out! Out, out, out!"
The outco was Chen Ye being kicked out of this modified off-road vehicle.
At that mont, the horizon was just showing a sliver of fish-belly white dawn, and the temperature hadn't even fully risen yet.
Fortunately, Chen Ye was already a Sequence Superhuman, so this temperature wasn't unbearable for him.
Just as Chen Ye shrugged and prepared to leave.
The car door opened again.
A charming face with pink hair appeared before Chen Ye, saying disdainfully: "Scumbag, rember this - it was who played you!"
"Bam!"
The car door closed again.
Chen Ye stood frozen on the spot, suddenly feeling a sense of humiliation surge through him.
Returning to his own beat-up pickup truck, he lay down fully in the truck bed.
The vehicle canopy had been torn apart by the sandstorm and blown away to who knows where.
After briefly recalling yesterday's humiliating experience, he collected his thoughts.
Chen Ye began planning how to upgrade.
Currently there were three upgrade paths.
First was upgrading the Blood Resentnt Machete.
He still had that Flayed Ghost's Scalp in hand.
But it required consuming thirty thousand Slaughter Points.
He had enough Slaughter Points, but if he spent thirty thousand, his remaining Slaughter Points would be completely depleted.
If he encountered any ergencies later, the System would just beco decoration.
Second was exchanging with the System for Magic Potion Capsules.
After Chu Che ntioned Magic Potion Capsules, Chen Ye had kept that na in mind.
According to Captain Chu's description, Magic Potion Capsules could fully excavate human potential.
They could enhance the strength of Sequence Superhumans.
They were even more precious than Sequence Serums.
Of course, sothing with similar effects included that magic fruit Sun Xixi ate.
But... forget it.
Using the flesh and blood of relatives to create magic fruits and achieve superhuman status - even with his heart of stone, he couldn't do sothing like that.
"System, how many Slaughter Points are needed to exchange for one Magic Potion Capsule?"
[Magic Potion Capsule: A capsule dicine created by gathering human wisdom before the apocalypse, capable of greatly excavating human potential, of extraordinary value.]
[Exchanging for one Magic Potion Capsule requires fifty thousand Slaughter Points.]
[Would you like to exchange?]
Fifty thousand?
Hearing this price, Chen Ye imdiately abandoned the idea of exchanging.
The third option was upgrading the vehicle.
The pickup's canopy could be temporarily left unrepaired.
The vehicle's electric system was urgently needed.
The 60 liters of fuel were almost gone now.
His material reserves couldn't compare with Chu Che, Sun Xixi, and Iron Lion.
According to them, they had previously found a gas station back when Chen Ye hadn't joined the convoy yet.
Those people obtained enough fuel at that gas station.
He simply couldn't compare with them.
Up to now, he still owed Chu Che fifteen liters of fuel.
If he couldn't find alternative fuel, he'd probably have to borrow again for this Apocalyptic Pickup Truck in a couple of days.
Therefore, this was currently the most urgent matter.
After so bargaining with the System.
The final determined solution consud fifteen thousand Slaughter Points, taking forty-eight hours to upgrade the solar charging panel.
After the upgrade was complete, it could fully charge the vehicle's built-in ten kilowatt-hours of electricity within twenty ideal sunlight hours.
Under ideal conditions, ten kilowatt-hours could power the Chopped Pepper Fish Head for one hundred kiloters.
The Apocalyptic Pickup Truck's model was much larger than the Chopped Pepper Fish Head.
He'd be thanking heaven and earth if it could reach seventy kiloters.
Seventy kiloters was still quite usable though - the convoy's daily migration distance wasn't actually fixed.
When they reached a sufficiently safe place, Chu Che would choose to rest and camp.
Sotis they covered over one hundred kiloters in a day.
Other tis they only traveled several dozen kiloters.
When Chen Ye confird this upgrade plan, he felt his fingers trembling.
Looking at the thirty thousand Slaughter Points he had just obtained, now only ten thousand plus remained.
This feeling was like getting your monthly salary, only to hand half of it over to the landlord.
This feeling really wasn't enjoyable at all.
An hourglass countdown appeared above the pickup truck.
[47:60:59]
Looking at the remaining Slaughter Points.
Chen Ye really felt quite unwilling.
Unwilling that thirty thousand Slaughter Points hadn't improved his combat power at all.
He hadn't upgraded any Wonders, nor used them on himself.
And the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck's electrical system really couldn't be skimped on.
After so thought, Chen Ye rembered the Magic Potion Capsules again.
Since he didn't have enough Slaughter Points, couldn't he find an alternative solution?
Didn't martial arts novels all have internal energy cultivation thods?
Wasn't there any thod to enhance his strength?
