Yiyi was convinced that the mustard gas should be beneficial to her. In fact, Zhang Yiyi also stumbled upon this by mistake. Aside from all the attributes of a reptilian lizard, the colorful gecko has one more special feature: it can absorb various kinds of gases, whether it’s Spiritual Energy or poisonous gas. Once digested by the colorful gecko, it all turns into its own energy.
Zhang Yiyi had beco immune to all poisons.
"Mustard gas doesn’t affect you? I should’ve known soone as useless as you couldn’t be in the Reverse Genius Class unless you had an immune-to-all-poisons constitution. That’s sowhat useful," Wang Shuai was a bit shocked, but seeing Zhang Yiyi’s face puffed with pride like a bun and taking into account her height of over 1.7 ters with a baby face, he couldn’t help but want to tease her. "If I’m not mistaken, you must be a freshman, right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" Zhang Yiyi was still reveling in her triumph, clearly unaware of the serious consequences that awaited her.
"And a particularly useless freshman at that. How much money do you have on your Heaven Card?" Wang Shuai asked, trying to hold back his laughter.
"Why should I tell you?" Zhang Yiyi walked over to the card reader, sneakily inserted her card, and shielded it with her hand like a thief, taking a quick glimpse.
Wang Shuai had already seen the pitiful "1" at the beginning of her Heaven-defying Value, his handso and spirited face was turning red trying to suppress a laugh, "How do you plan to go back?"
"How I ca is how I’ll go back, of course. It’s simple since I’m not afraid of the mustard gas layer," Zhang Yiyi said, doing warm-up exercises on the spot, preparing to climb back.
"Don’t say I didn’t warn you, this wall is much smarter than you." He picked up a stone from the ground and tossed it casually upwards.
The stone flew straight up the wall more than a dozen ters high, not deviating in the slightest, indicating Wang Shuai’s arm strength was quite remarkable. It cleared the campus wall without trouble.
Dozens of arrows flew from the cannon above the wall, shooting the stone, which was only the size of a finger, back. If it hadn’t been a stone but sothing else, by now, it would have been punctured like a hornet’s nest.
"Still sure you want to climb back?" Wang Shuai could no longer hold back and let out a deafening laugh.
Zhang Yiyi swallowed hard, wondering if, aside from being immune to poisons, the colorful gecko could also be immune to blades and firearms. She certainly didn’t have the guts to be a living target for an experint.
"Well, take your ti thinking about it. I’m off," Wang Shuai laughed enough and turned to leave.
"Hey, don’t go. Lend 500 Heaven-defying Value so I can get back, my friend is still in there. I will definitely pay you back. I’m the new student from the Basic Class, Zhang Yiyi. I really will pay the Heaven-defying Value back to you." Zhang Yiyi stomped her foot, following Wang Shuai closely, but he ignored her and let her tag along.
Back in the dorm, Xiao Xian waited until sunset. The temperature outside suddenly dropped to around zero degrees, and thick clouds lood ominously from the west, bearing down on them.
Worried, Xiao Xian took her Heaven Card and went out to find soone.
The desert night was unfamiliar to Xiao Xian but not hard to adapt to.
Desolation was sothing she was actually quite familiar with; her garbage space used to be a wasteland too.
At night, the North Campus Zone C had a different view—it was quiet, and one could gaze at the star-filled night sky. On the barren land where only cattail and cacti grew, traces of lizards unseen during the day crawled out, along with so birds fluttering about the desert, searching for dew and edible insects.
The desert was more alive at night.
Under the starlight, the sand seed like a snowy field. Xiao Xian walked on the sand. If not for her concern for Zhang Yiyi, she might have enjoyed the unique allure of the desert night.
It was still sumr. The temperature in the Zone C desert dropped to around 0 degrees Celsius at night, while dayti temperatures could reach forty or fifty degrees. The huge difference between day and night temperatures caused the surrounding rocks to fragnt into various sizes of gravel due to the severe expansion from heat and contraction from the cold.
The gravel was weathered over the years, the fine sand piled into dunes, and the rocks turned into Gobi, making most of the Zone C’s ground covered by desert and a small portion by the Gobi.
"I have searched everywhere but still haven’t found Yiyi. I hope nothing bad has happened," Xiao Xian didn’t see any signs of people walking on the vast sand plain.
She thought about it and decided to head towards the Strategic Goods Center to inquire with Roo One.
The robot Roo One, like the first ti Xiao Xian and the others ca, heard a visitor approaching and glided across the ground to et Xiao Xian.
"Roo One, my friend Zhang Yiyi is missing. Can you help locate her?" In the North Campus, the Heaven Card is the most important thing. Every student must carry their Heaven Card when going out.
The sa was true for Xiao Xian. The Heaven Card should have an internal device to determine her location.
"Yes, according to North Campus managent regulations, a search and rescue mission requires a paynt of 100 Heaven-defying Value." Roo’s response nearly made Xiao Xian choke, proving it to be a stuffy stickler of a robot.
She had worked hard all day just to earn ten Heaven-defying Value. Asking Roo to find soone was going to cost that much. It really wasn’t cost-effective.
But considering it was getting too late and Zhang Yiyi was unreliable, she needed to find her quickly. Plus, she had an additional inco of 10,000 Heaven-defying Value today, giving Xiao Xian the capital to splurge just this once.
"Xiao Xian student, your Heaven Card has reached the requirent for Basic VIP. Would you like to upgrade to Basic VIP? After upgrading, you can enjoy all the privileges of a Basic VIP, such as a 10% discount on shopping in this center, and buying and selling items," Roo inquired after confirming the amount on her Heaven Card.
"If there’s a discount, of course, I’ll take it. A 10% discount is better than nothing," Xiao Xian didn’t expect such a privilege. Wait a minute, she seed to have heard sothing else.
Behind the 10% discount—the buying and selling items. This ans she could also sell things at the Strategic Goods Center?
