Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Mushroom
Ji You turned her face, smiled, and said, "Jiaojiao, thank you."
Chu Jiaojiao held Ji You by the waist, her eyes fixed on Ji You’s face, smiling broadly: "You’re welco, it’s my pleasure to serve classmate Ji You." She then muttered softly, "Good thing I held on tight, or what if Ji You’s face got damaged from a fall?"
Ji You: "..."
Ji You’s expression was sowhat speechless. She raised her hand to her forehead but her eyes were fixed on the lock of the eighth door. There was a tal key hanging quietly on the doorknob.
Ji You estimated the ti; it had been two and a half hours since they entered this strange secret room. Of course, from the first door to the eighth door, they actually spent very little ti, less than half an hour – the remaining two hours they spent dragging their feet while eating.
Two and a half hours, just hold on for another 30 minutes, and once it exceeds three hours, Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan on the surface will certainly notice. By then, they will definitely go out to seek reinforcent. So, just hold on for another 30 minutes.
But—
We can’t delay any longer.
If we delay the ti to enter any longer, the hidden enemy will lose patience.
Delaying for too long could alert the enemy, and judging by the opponent’s spiritual wave, Ji You deeply understood the gap between their side and the enemy. If they t directly, Ji You and her friends could only accept their fate. The only option was to catch the enemy off guard for a chance to survive.
Ji You quietly squeezed the hand on her waist placed by Chu Jiaojiao. Chu Jiaojiao’s heart slightly moved, but she laughed foolishly on the surface: "Classmate Ji You, you look so good."
Ji You rolled her eyes and cursed: "Buddy, it’s ti to take your filthy hand off."
Chu Jiaojiao reflexively tightened her grip a bit, slightly unwilling to let go: "Ah... such a wonderful touch, such a beautiful mont, please let ti freeze right here. If this is a dream, then let
be lost in the sweetness of classmate Ji You, never to wake."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You slapped her hand away, cursing: "Enough, hurry up and take it off. If you keep dawdling, I’ll hit you."
"Hehe..." Chu Jiaojiao laughed as she took her hand away and retreated behind Ji You. Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan also backed up a few steps, moving behind Ji You.
Ji You stood in the center of the door, staring at the key. After a few seconds of staring, she did not hesitate anymore and reached out to grab it. It was a very ordinary copper key; nothing unusual could be seen from its appearance. Ji You glanced at it and then said to the others, "Are you sure that behind this door lies treasure and not a hulking guy with a laser gun?"
Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, and Shen Changqing: "..."
The next second, the three of them said in unison: "Tsk!"
"Tsk tsk!"
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
After tsking three tis, the three finally felt a bit relieved. Sheng Qingyan sneered at Ji You and cursed: "Say sothing lucky, will you? What hulking guy, I’d rather have a few fair-skinned beauties oh..."
"In your dreams, and beauties too. It’s already good if there aren’t a few man-eating Star Beasts waiting for you." Ji You said as she inserted the key into the keyhole: "Be prepared for battle, everyone. If it’s really Star Beasts, we must annihilate them imdiately!"
Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan were already gripping their weapons. Sheng Qingyan urged: "Rest assured, open the door quickly, don’t drag it out."
anwhile.
Ying Sanqiang watched this scene a bit surprised and said: "These little rascals are actually quite vigilant."
The always silent Ying Tu suddenly spoke: "After all, they are from a formal military academy, it’s normal. If they weren’t a bit cautious, I’d say they are fools. But clearly, they’re not complete idiots."
Seeing Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others becoming more vigilant and preparing for battle, Ying Tu’s tightly knitted brow finally relaxed.
No vigilance is indeed abnormal.
Being vigilant ans these little brats are not so difficult to handle.
...
"Creak—"
The copper lock turned, the door unlocked, and with a light push from the outside by Ji You, the door slowly opened. Unlike the previous doors, this room was quite spacious, roughly 500 square ters. Inside were rows of shelves, neatly categorizing various materials. Behind the shelves, there were a few tool tables. As Ji You and Shen Changqing stepped in, they were all taken aback:
"This—" Chu Jiaojiao said, "could this be the Material Departnt’s laboratory?"
Shen Changqing said, "Seems like it."
Sheng Qingyan’s voice was full of disappointnt: "Why is it the Material Departnt’s laboratory? So boring oh... I thought there was so rare treasure to be found oh..." He walked to a row of shelves and looked at them, realizing they held rows of bottles and jars, labeled with certain materials, certain codes... Anyway, Sheng Qingyan wasn’t from the Material Departnt and wasn’t interested at all.
Ji You walked a few steps forward and stopped beside a shelf. With her height of 1.65 ters, she could only reach the lower or mid-level materials. This level contained liquid materials, held in transparent glass. Ji You saw rows of red, white, green, pink...
In the 500 square ters of space, there were no signs of recent activity, as if it had been abandoned for a long ti. Just then, Chu Jiaojiao shouted: "Holy shit, co and look!"
"Hm?" Ji You, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan quickly turned back. Ji You frowned and asked, "What is it?"
Asked as she rushed over, Chu Jiaojiao pointed at a stick, exclaiming: "This stick is actually growing mushrooms!!!"
These mushrooms were colorful and looked incredibly vibrant. The caps of the mushrooms were dripping with a layer of oil, so bright they couldn’t be ignored. Ji You asserted: "These are Five-Colored Mushrooms, they’re poisonous, don’t touch them!"
Chu Jiaojiao’s outstretched hand quickly retracted.
Ji You pulled down her protective shield, covering her nose, and said: "The emitted scent is also poisonous, try to hold your breath."
Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan hurriedly followed suit.
Then, Ji You used tweezers to carefully pluck the Five-Colored Mushroom by its root, putting it into a small bag. She turned to look at Chu Jiaojiao and the others, smiling: "Although it’s poisonous, it’s a relatively rare material. A patch like this is worth 100,000."
Chu Jiaojiao and the others: "!!!"
Chu Jiaojiao, sowhat in disbelief, said: "100,000?"
Shen Changqing said quietly: "So expensive!!!"
Sheng Qingyan raised an eyebrow: "Psh, only 100,000 oh."
Ji You carefully placed the mushroom in a small corner of the Space Button.
All of this was witnessed by a group of burly n led by Ying Tu.
