Chapter 348 The Heart of a Withered Vine
Lu Youyou had a decent impression of Wang Chenqian and accepted her friend request without much hesitation.
I had just agreed when she sent me a message.
[Wang Chenqian: Shall we collaborate? I'll provide the raw materials, you use the blueprints to manufacture advanced all-purpose pills, and we'll split the profits 50/50.]
If Lu Youyou doesn't get the lizard and the multi-headed snake, she will agree to Wang Chenqian's cooperation.
But things are different now. She has all the materials needed for the advanced pills, so there's absolutely no need to cooperate with outsiders.
Unless the benefits are significant enough.
[Lu Youyou: The benefits aren't significant enough.]
[Wang Chenqian: At most, you'll get six and I'll get four.]
[Lu Youyou: At the very least, I'll give you 70%, you 30%.]
[Wang Chenqian: You! How could you be so greedy?]
Lu Youyou pouted; the advantage was now hers.
She can independently produce advanced panacea without asking for help, so she's naturally not afraid of a breakdown in her negotiations with Wang Chenxi.
As for Wang Chenqian's opinion, if she agrees, I will benefit; if she disagrees, I will not lose anything.
Just when Lu Youyou thought the deal had completely fallen apart, Wang Chenqian sent another message.
[Wang Chenqian: Okay, you get 70% and I'll do 30%. I'll send you the transaction request, and you can do it for me now.]
Seeing how eager Wang Chenqian was to get it, Lu Youyou knew why she had agreed to her request.
Whoever is in a hurry will suffer.
hum~
The watch vibrated.
Wang Chenxi sent the transaction request first.
Lu Youyou smiled knowingly.
A transaction application is a one-time transaction, and it only guarantees that this transaction will be conducted in accordance with the terms agreed upon by both parties.
It seems that Wang Chenxi does not intend to cooperate with me for a long time.
Lu Youyou readily agreed to the application, and the next second she received the materials from Wang Chenqian.
[Lizard Blood*50] [Hydra Bone*50] [Cell Regeneration Fluid*50]
It's clear that Wang Chenxi wanted to make 50 batches of advanced all-purpose pills, but she didn't know the complete ingredients and was just guessing based on what she had asked everyone for that day.
Lu Youyou didn't tell Wang Chenqian the complete recipe, but asked her to put it together according to the recipe.
After all, DIY machines don't require blueprints to make things; you only need to gather enough materials and proportions.
She wants to earn more.
Open the [Crafting Table], select the Advanced Panacea Blueprint, and Lu Youyou selects a quantity of 50.
The pills were ready in no time.
There are 50 sets in total, with 50 pills in each set, for a total of 2500 advanced panacea pills.
She took 1750 high-grade panacea pills from them and gave the rest to Wang Chenqian.
Wang Chenqian was furious that she had received far fewer pills than she should have, and blocked Lu Youyou as soon as she received the pills.
If Lu Youyou hadn't reminded her to check the number of pills before the message was sent, she wouldn't have known about this.
But who cares?
Anyway, Lu Youyou doesn't care.
[Sizzle...]
The watch suddenly made a buzzing sound, and Lu Youyou's heart sank. Why was the adult here again?
We just left one instance and haven't even had a proper rest before we have to enter the next one?
[Lu Youyou, are you listening?]
Oh, so he was looking for her specifically.
Then it wouldn't be a dungeon game anymore.
Lu Youyou's heart, which had been in her throat, settled back down. She looked at her watch and said, "I'm listening."
"Well, I was too tired last night and forgot something I promised someone."
"Ok?"
[You probably remember the gift the land duck and its friends gave you, right?]
"It seems like a little duck said it would give me a gift if I got first place," Lu Youyou recalled.
However, at the time she thought the little duck was joking and didn't take it to heart.
I never expected that the little duckling would be able to get an adult to give me a gift.
"Sir, please thank the little duck for me."
【Know. 】
As the last note faded, a withered vine pendant suddenly appeared in Lu Youyou's hand.
The pendant was very small, about the size of a thumbnail, but the little duck had made it into a heart-shaped vine.
The surface of the vine is not smooth; it has irregular bumps.
Upon closer inspection, the vine patterns on the heart-shaped frame resemble simple line drawings of animals.
With just a stroke or two, the outlines of ducks, lizards, and eagles are sketched.
“It’s very exquisite, I like it very much,” Lu Youyou said.
This is the loyalty of all members of the Forest instance, and even the boss; it is called the Heart of the Withered Vine.
"What?" Lu Youyou was shocked. "Why are you giving it to me?"
Because they chose you, and they want me to choose you too.
"Does having this withered vine heart mean I've been chosen by you?"
No, I need to investigate you further. Don't disappoint them; they've already chosen sides. If you fail, they won't survive either.
[Sizzle...]
Before Lu Youyou could speak, the adult unilaterally cut off the call.
Lu Youyou thought about what the adult had said: what did it mean that they had already chosen sides and would die if they failed?
I thought it was a power struggle among the nine princes; choosing the wrong side meant certain death…
Originally, she was just complaining in her heart, but unexpectedly, her words actually gave Lu Youyou some inspiration.
Is it really true that you have to inherit something like a throne to gain the monster's loyalty?
What could it be?
Lu Youyou thought and thought but still couldn't come up with a solution, so she simply gave up on thinking about it.
After the last member of the base took a break and drove off, Lu Youyou put away the mobile base and began to let the navigation wander aimlessly.
Lu Youyou's watch suddenly vibrated, and she looked down at it.
[The Ever-Changing Vine's favorability towards you has increased by 5%, currently at 55%.]
Lu Youyou glanced at the monster's name, then looked down at the withered vine heart below her collarbone, feeling that they were connected.
Since the other party had the fate of the entire instance on her shoulders, Lu Youyou stopped being indifferent and took the initiative to send a message.
[Lu Youyou: Are you the boss of the Dense Forest dungeon?]
[The Ever-Changing Withered Vine: What's wrong?]
[Lu Youyou: Nothing much, I received the Heart of the Withered Vine. Thank you and your friends.]
[The Ever-Changing Withered Vine: Oh, I just picked it randomly.]
Lu Youyou: ……
The Ever-Changing Vine is truly a strange monster.
He had clearly placed his life on her shoulders, yet not only was her favorability rating below the passing grade of 60%, she was also so indifferent to him.
It doesn't seem to like itself; perhaps it just randomly chose a human to side with.
The car sped along, covering a long road, but they didn't encounter a single treasure chest.
Lu Youyou was already used to it; treasure chests were only relatively plentiful at the beginning of the game, and she rarely found them later on.
Feeling a bit bored, she projected a light screen and put up a public chat on it, treating it like watching a text-based movie.
[Lighting a cigarette: Damn, finally out, and all I got as a reward was a high-level all-purpose pill? I'm totally devastated.]
[Player 788999: You're lucky you're still alive, what more could you want?]
[Lighting a cigarette: Who wants a bicycle?]
[Butterfly: That's just a joke...]
[The devil is in the details: Did you guys notice that Lu Youyou's team didn't rank high, but she ranked first individually?]
[Player 3999123: Lu Youyou has always been very strong.]
[Player 89033: And then what? You brought this up to curry favor with the big boss?]
[The devil is in the details: I just wanted to ask if there's a way to join Lu Youyou's gang.]
