Volume 1: Chapter 643 Getting Rich, Shop Refresh, Nia
Upon learning that Starry Sky and the others were about to leave, Tim and the others were somewhat surprised. However, after hearing that they had found an important clue about their missing companion, they did not try to stop them. Instead, they warmly escorted them to the edge of the settlement.
"So, now that we've found the fireflies, shouldn't we figure out how to get back?"
As March 7th spoke, he and Kiana each reached out and grabbed the robin's hand, one on each side.
The two worked together in perfect unison, easily pulling the superstar up from the bottom of a steep cliff more than ten meters high.
Robins are not the pampered, delicate young ladies of the robin's life.
In order to promote harmony and save lives, she even went to the front lines of a war-torn planet.
However, compared to the three little train crew members who are on their pioneering journey, the robin is still somewhat lacking in physique, despite being known for its superhuman strength and physique.
"Oh right! Qiongzai, how do we get back?"
Xing suddenly realized her blind spot and turned to look at the baby on her back.
External brain, activated!
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Qiong embraced Xing's snow-white swan neck with both arms.
Normally, it should be the older brother carrying the younger sister, but who can blame him when this silly younger sister's constitution is so outrageous that it's comparable to a monster?
Before embarking on the path of reproduction, Qiong was always the one being pressed down on the bed.
How to return is indeed a question that requires serious consideration.
The key point is that Qiong is not yet entirely certain whether their four-person team has truly traveled to the 'past'.
Qiong fell into thought.
Just then, a somewhat silly-sounding system notification tone rang in his mind:
[Hey bro, friendly reminder: until the 'error' code is fixed, it's best not to transform into Tom and Jerry again! Otherwise, the spacetime dimension will collapse again. Even if we return to normal spacetime, it's recommended not to use it for now.]
What did you say
Qiong's eyes widened.
Along with the notification, an email pop-up appeared with the subject: "[Explanation and Compensation Plan Regarding the Temporary Unavailability of the Game Due to Unforeseen Time-Space Distortion Caused by Tom and Jerry's Influence...]"
The email body was several hundred words long, but Qiong read it quickly, focusing his gaze directly on the last line.
[Compensation Item: Equipment Remodeling Card x3]
[Compensation Resources: 1000 Crystals]
Well, on the other hand...
It's good to let Tom and Jerry rest.
After all, both automatic battles—one to repair the starry sky and the other to organize the dimensional curtain—were major tasks.
You must be exhausted.
Upon seeing the amount of crystals as compensation, Qiong immediately employed the traditional skill of players: selective amnesia.
He previously earned 1200 crystals from completing the hidden exploration mission "Seven Days Off," and this time he received an additional 1000 crystals as compensation. These two huge sums of money directly brought his crystal reserves to over 2200!
In addition to the stable income from the monthly mask card, and the miscellaneous income from various daily activities and opening treasure chests...
Qiong's eyes lit up as she looked at the number 2808 behind the crystal icon.
This is a new all-time high!
He was immediately itching to do a ten-pull gacha right then and there, hoping that there might be some mystical bonus in this special time and space situation?
Brother, calm down!
On the system screen, a small hand holding a wrench and pliers appeared, busily working away before jumping out to stop Qiong.
"Drawing cards at this critical juncture, if some oddly designed rare character pops up in the gacha pool, it could potentially trigger a second bug."
The four external card pools extending into the endless void are too deep for the system to grasp.
[Relax, relax, I was just thinking about it.]
Qiong's thoughts drifted away from the tempting ten-click button.
It's human nature to want to spend money after suddenly becoming rich—it's only natural.
By the way, speaking of consumption...
Qiong's eyes lit up when she looked at the long-awaited refreshed system store.
Wow~ the items refreshed this time are pretty good too!
The store displays rows of cool suits of armor.
From the classic Five Elements Armor of Light and Shadow Village, Flame Dragon and Wind Eagle.
The Xingtian, Feiying, and Jingang trio also have corresponding upgraded versions.
But is it appropriate to put the golden-armored warrior and these on the same table?
Superhero Zhang Yida.
Wow! It's armor!
Xing couldn't see Qiong's mission panel, but she had access to the shop and could see Qiong opening the shop, which immediately excited her.
"He looks so handsome!"
She immediately opened her shop.
Black rhinoceros, snow mastiff, and ground tiger.
Nawa, Tsinami, Tuonaduo, Kurefu.
"Elemental Series?"
Qiong glanced over and saw Xing's shop decorations.
"This one's handsome, this one's alright, this one's not so good..."
Xing began to critique the various armors, including the Capture General Armor, the Hunter Armor series, and the Starry Sky Armor.
Qiong's knowledge of the Armor series is limited to the Light and Shadow Armor and the Flame Star Armor. Her impression of the Elemental Armor mainly comes from the righteous but evil General Duanmu, and the subsequent series...
Tsk, it's a long story.
After glancing inflated at the prices of the ultimate armors, Qiong honestly shifted her gaze back to the basic models.
If you split the purchase with Xingbao, you can easily get a complete set for the five of you.
Especially the Light and Shadow Armor, there are exactly five sets available, and there's a buy-four-get-one-free promotion.
Yes, the Earth Tiger Armor is a free gift.
"Hey, what are you two whispering about? What armor? Isn't it cool?"
March 7th curiously peeked out.
"Shouldn't we be prioritizing finding the fireflies and getting back? Why are we suddenly shopping? And can the company's logistics reach this area?"
"We're discussing whether we can get a suit of armor like the one worn by the firefly."
Xingqiong exchanged a glance and tacitly changed the subject.
To be fair, Sam is handsome too.
After getting away from Tim's settlement, Qiong took out a small flying machine from her witch hat. The streamlined fuselage cut through the sky, leaving a trail of sonic boom clouds behind her.
While discussing the current situation, the group sped off towards the direction where the satellite image showed a girl resembling a 'firefly'.
One and a half system hours later.
"This is the city."
Qiong sat in the captain's seat, looking at the city on the projection screen in front of her.
"This must be what the planet looked like before the insect invasion."
The robin gazed at the towering buildings and endless stream of cars in the scene, its tone tinged with a touch of melancholy.
"Before the disaster, such a city might have been quite ordinary."
Cities of this size are now extremely rare on Terra.
"Let's find a place to land quickly!"
Kiana pointed to the blue map, "This area looks pretty good."
With Terra's current technology, radar simply cannot detect aircraft modified by the Black Tower, and optical stealth technology is the most basic of all.
"Ai-chan, prepare for landing."
The dome issued the command.
"You came from Dandong, leaving me with a city blanketed in white snow, where longing blooms in the wind?"
The shipborne AI, designed by Qiong to resemble a green cabbage head, sang a song, while the chibi version of the character on the screen jumped up and down with its hands raised.
“(???)/(???)/(???)/”
Upon landing, the spacecraft was stored away using the witch's hat. Guided by real-time satellite imagery, the Dome headed towards its target.
Star, March 7th, Robin, and Kiana followed closely behind.
After passing through several blocks, the group arrived at a lush green city park.
"The last location where the film was taken is here; she should be in this area."
Once there is an obstruction above, satellite tracking and imaging will fail, Qiong said, looking at the last location information transmitted to her phone.
"Let's split up and look for it."
"Hehe, it's time for me to show off my skills again! Super Detective Little March, on the move!"
March 7th looked full of energy.
Whenever there's a pink pistachio, the atmosphere is always relaxed and pleasant.
"I'm quite the expert at finding people too~"
Kiana Sora perfectly captured the lively and energetic spirit of the Paramecium stage.
The sheer value of making even the Yellow Springs lose their bearings!
"Ah, found it."
It can only be said that the archer's eyes were indeed sharp; in the end, it was Little March who spotted the target first.
The azure sky was crystal clear, and the pristine white clouds drifted lazily by.
The girl sat on a bench in the square, surrounded by pedestrians who looked like adventurers or bounty hunters.
She was holding something that looked like breadcrumbs in her hands, which a black stray cat was licking.
The silver-haired girl stared blankly at the sky until the delicate touch of a bird pecking at her palm brought her to her senses. Only then did she lower her head and gaze intently at the kitten eating.
"Fireflies!"
On March 7th, he made a trumpet with one hand and called out to the girl, but immediately realized something was wrong, and the cheerful voice came to an abrupt end.
"...Is that a firefly?"
Her voice trailed off, hesitant.
"Obviously not."
Qiong shrugged. Even the clever little March could see the obvious problem, which shows how different their temperaments were.
Apart from her long, silvery-white hair that reached her hips like moonlight, the girl looked almost exactly like Liu Ying, even sharing the same beautiful, dreamy pink and blue eyes.
She wore a black and green dress, revealing a hint of her delicate and smooth collarbone in a butterfly shape.
It can be identified as a person by high-precision satellite facial recognition.
Actually, there are still many.
