Chapter 330 Meeting Zhao Zhihao
The car circled the swamp, which was neither too big nor too small, but Lu Youyou still didn't see any of the architects who had fallen into the water. There were only some swamp snakes that had noticed her vehicle and were hiding deeper in the swamp.
Knowing that snakeskin could increase the defense value of the virtual base, Lu Youyou didn't intend to make a wasted trip.
She took out her slingshot, wrapped a paralyzing bullet with a rubber band, and fired it with a steady, accurate, and powerful shot.
Whoosh!
The paralyzing bullet struck a swamp snake and split open on the spot, the spreading scent paralyzing other snakes around it as well.
The snake's body was smashed by the impact, and its corpse disappeared a few seconds later, but no treasure chest was left behind.
It seems that killing monsters that aren't part of the quest objective won't get you the treasure chest.
The snakes were stirring, searching for the best opportunity to strike.
Lu Youyou didn't want to waste time with them; they couldn't even produce a treasure chest, and she was wasting her own items.
"Navigation, to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Youyou suddenly saw a pale finger rising and falling in the middle of the swamp.
Thinking of Wang Chenqian's story about the architect falling into the swamp, Lu Youyou's heart raced.
If no one had rescued the master architect for so long, he might have actually fallen into the very center.
The owner of that finger is very likely a master architect!
She took a rope out of her backpack and tied an iron block to one end of it so that she could use inertia to throw the rope further.
"Master, I'll fly there!" the little crow volunteered.
“No, what if there’s something bad in there? It would be a safety hazard if you went over. I’ll throw a rope over, and if anything goes wrong, I can cut the rope and drive off.”
"Master is so clever!"
The little crow cawed happily to itself.
Lu Youyou swung the rope around a couple of times to get used to it, and once she got the hang of it, she threw it directly to the left of her finger, about half a meter away.
puff.
The iron block was thrown into the swamp and gradually sank.
My fingers struggled to move toward the rope, constantly touching it and being forced away, which was very difficult.
Because the owner of the finger was moving, and the snakes were churning in the swamp, the finger was also sinking.
Within a minute, he was buried under the swamp.
Suddenly, Lu Youyou felt a force of over a hundred pounds increase on the rope.
She gripped the rope tightly and pulled back, her hands emerging from the water first, followed by her head and shoulders…
This is a monster with a woman's body and a raccoon's face!
Lu Youyou pulled the woman to the shore before cutting the rope and getting out of the car after taking precautions.
"Are you alright?" Lu Youyou asked.
"Thank you... I'm a master architect, you can call me Tanuki Da Guai."
Master Architect!
Upon hearing this address, Lu Youyou's heart leaped with joy.
Wang Chenxi wasn't lying to herself; whether it was yesterday's soaring eagle or today's architectural master, she could always give herself an accurate perspective.
“Hello, Tanuki Da Guai,” Lu Youyou said.
The raccoon's whiskers twitched, and it unconsciously stuck out its tongue to lick its nose.
Suddenly realizing that she already had help, she pulled her tongue back and wiped the dirt off her nose with her hand.
"You saved me, and I will repay you. Humans all love houses, so I wish your house will always be sturdy and never fall down."
With the watch vibrating, Tanuki Da Guai transformed into a tanuki and nimbly climbed a tree to leave.
Lu Youyou checked her watch and found that the task was completed.
She opened the virtual base again, and sure enough, her contribution points had increased by 100.
As soon as she opened the contribution value ranking list, Lu Youyou couldn't help but look down at it.
The rankings are the same as yesterday, from highest to lowest: her, Wang Chenqian, Wang Lu, Wei Yusheng, and Zhao Zhihao.
However, the top three contributors all had a minimum contribution value of over 300, while the bottom two had a contribution value of just over 20.
She saw from the map that Zhao Zhihao was not far from her, only about ten minutes away.
Lu Youyou got into the car, selected the small red dot representing Zhao Zhihao as the destination, and let the navigation system drive.
Ten minutes later, she saw a van.
Next to the van, a round-faced, chubby man with a full beard was posing and taking a selfie.
Hearing the sound of a car driving by, he put away his camera, took out his pistol, and went on alert.
[Destination reached, navigation will automatically stop.]
The car stopped, and Lu Youyou got out and stood in front of Zhao Zhihao.
"The road...the road is long and winding?"
Lu Youyou said coldly, "It's me."
Zhao Zhihao stuck out his tongue, looking somewhat awkward and embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Lu Youyou, I thought it was a bad guy, that's why I pointed a gun at your car."
Lu Youyou pursed her lips; she felt that this man was unlike any she had met before.
There's something indescribable about her...femininity?
Moreover, it's the kind of womanly charm that's often stereotyped.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe, since she doesn't suddenly stick out her tongue in a cutesy way when she talks to people.
Seeing Lu Youyou staring at him with a complicated expression, Zhao Zhihao covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Why do you look at me like that? I don't like girls, I like the same sex."
Lu Youyou: ……
She originally intended to get down to business, but she had to refute Zhao Zhihao's words.
"I didn't say I liked you, did I?"
Zhao Zhihao stuck out his tongue awkwardly again, looked up with his head down, and then lowered his head again after being caught, nervously rubbing the hem of his clothes in his hands.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to make things clear beforehand. Oh well, just consider it my own wishful thinking."
Lu Youyou said indifferently, "I understand. Let's put this matter aside for now. I just want to know why your defense contribution value is so low?"
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Zhao Zhihao suddenly looked up, his eyes suddenly reddening.
"I'm afraid of reptiles like crocodiles and lizards, so I don't dare to complete the mission."
Lu Youyou gritted her teeth; her molars were about to break.
Whether she originally had a problem with Zhao Zhihao or subconsciously disliked homosexuals, she couldn't resist touching him when she saw him like that.
Want to beat someone up.
Suppressing her discomfort, Lu Youyou asked, "So what's your plan? To never do missions again because you're afraid?"
Zhao Zhihao looked at her in surprise.
"How could that be? I've already planned it out. I'll help you guys complete your personal tasks first, and then I'll do mine after I've accumulated 1500 contribution points. You should help me then, right?"
Lu Youyou nodded: "That's a good idea, so who are you waiting for now? Didn't you say you'd help others first?"
Zhao Zhihao was speechless and muttered, "I was originally going to help Wang Chenqian, but she hates me and won't let me come along."
"And then there's Wang Lu. She doesn't like men following her around, saying it's inconvenient. I told her I'm her sister, but she still said it's inconvenient. I can only wait here for you to post your requests."
Lu Youyou laughed in exasperation: "Where's Wei Yusheng? Me? Why didn't you even ask?"
Zhao Zhihao still had his reasons.
"Brother Wei isn't very strong, and he's injured his back, so he's recovering and can't do missions. As for you, you're a big shot, so you probably don't need my help, right?"
"So you mean you can't help others, but you want to leave your own tasks for others to do?"
Lu Youyou's eyes blazed with anger; she really wanted to punch him.
"Youyou, don't be so rude. My suggestion was really good, but nobody needs me, and I'm afraid of reptiles. What am I going to do?"
"So, we're the only ones who can help you complete your personal tasks?"
Zhao Zhihao shrugged, his face full of self-righteousness.
"Yes, I'm the one who should be crying the most because everyone dislikes me, but I still put the bigger picture first and didn't say anything that would affect our relationships."
