Chapter 146 Vigil
"You're here!"
The girl, carrying a tray of bear-shaped cookies, ran excitedly toward Shen Taiyang.
"Look, these are the bear-shaped cookies I made. I don't know if I'm just lucky today, but they're better than the ones I've made before. Try some!"
Fearing the cookies might be poisoned, Shen Taiyang pushed the tray aside and went straight to the point: "Where's the dazzling treasure chest? I need to collect my payment first."
"Oh, okay, it's right here on my tricycle. What a coincidence, you also have a tricycle. Why don't you try some? My bear cookies are delicious."
"No need, just give me the treasure chest first."
"Oh, the treasure chest is definitely yours, no rush. I don't know if it's just my luck, but the cookies I baked today are especially crispy. You should try some... uh..."
The girl clutched her stomach and fell to the ground, scattering bear-shaped cookies all over the floor.
She stared at Shen Taiyang in disbelief, then was stabbed several more times and died unwillingly.
Do not look down.
"Ha! You've come all this way to a survival game, and you're still so naive and innocent. Death is a relief for you!"
After kicking the girl's body aside, Shen Taiyang took five dazzling treasure chests from her car.
Since he lost his DIY machine and couldn't combine the five elements into a dazzling treasure chest, he had to ask Jiang Chao for help.
"Brother Chao, please help me, okay? You wanted water, right? If you help me fuse this dazzling treasure chest, I'll give you water, a whole bottle, okay?"
"Forehead…"
"Brother Chao," Shen Taiyang's tone turned serious, "Don't do anything to upset me, or I'll torture you to the point of wishing you were dead."
"I'll help you..."
An hour later, the five-in-one dazzling treasure chest appeared on the car.
Shen Taiyang made a wish on the treasure chest and then opened it.
Everything he wanted!
Next, Shen Taiyang chopped the girl into pieces and stuffed them all into the treasure chest.
When it was opened again, it was completely empty.
The monster accepted his sacrifice.
We shouldn't be affected by the black treasure chest at night.
"Brother Chao, thank goodness for you."
Shen Taiyang said something cryptic, then reached out his hand: "Put it in, mineral water, I'll feed you. Don't expect me to untie the plastic straps for you."
"If you're useful to me, I won't kill you casually, but only if you behave."
……
It was exactly six o'clock.
Lu Youyou went to the small kitchen to boil water; she planned to have noodles for dinner tonight.
While boiling water, she went to the roof to pick pea shoots, and then went to the folding bathroom to wash them clean.
When I returned, the stainless steel water was already boiling, bubbling away.
Lu Youyou put a handful of noodles into the pot and stirred them with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
Next, add some salt to the pot so that the noodles will absorb the flavor better.
Once the noodles were cooked, she added the washed pea shoots, stirred them a few times, and then turned off the heat.
Finally, take out the large bowl of seasonings.
Squeeze oyster sauce, soy sauce, chicken bouillon, and salt into an empty bowl, then pour in a little noodle soup to dissolve it. The base sauce is now ready.
Picking up the small pot, Lu Youyou poured the contents directly into a bowl; this was her dinner.
The food was placed on the coffee table; the noodles were still hot, so it wasn't ready to eat yet.
Lu Youyou then scooped out half a ladle of dog food for Xiao Hei and opened a can of dog food for it, combining dry and wet food.
Back on the sofa, the noodles were still warm, but you could still eat them in small bites.
Lu Youyou ate dinner while looking at the public chat messages to pass the time.
hum~
[A message came from the "Four Golden Flowers" group chat.]
Lu Youyou opened the group chat, and everyone had sent voice messages.
Zhang Yuning: "I have an idea and I'd like to hear everyone's opinions. We can take turns keeping watch at night so that not everyone has to stay up all night."
Yang Yan: "That's a good idea. I agree. Anyway, the red-eyed monster isn't scary. It just needs someone to stay awake and yell at it."
Wang Qiao: "Okay, I agree."
Zhang Yuning: "But now there's a problem. Xiao Liu isn't a member of our gang. Should we involve him too? I've always wanted to ask Xiao Liu whose relative he is?"
Wang Qiao: "He's not related to anyone. He has something I want. In exchange, I have to protect him. It's that simple."
Zhang Yuning: "Oh—then Xiao Liu doesn't need to participate. We can help him deal with the red-eyed monsters after we've arranged our shifts."
Wang Qiao: "No need, he made a deal with me, you don't need to help me."
Zhang Yuning: "What are you saying? It's just a matter of scolding away a red-eyed monster. It's not a big deal. Let's just leave it at that."
Lu Youyou thought for a moment and then sent a voice message as well.
"But we didn't seem to agree on how long we would protect Xiao Liu. Are we really going to protect him until the end of the game? Or should we let him participate?"
Wang Qiao: "Let's ask him. If he's unwilling, then I'll take his shift."
Zhang Yuning: "How about I bring him and my dad in? That way we can discuss things more easily."
With everyone's unanimous agreement, the four-person group was expanded to a six-person group, and the group name was changed accordingly.
Four beautiful women and two men.
[Xiao Liu: Wow, I've joined the small group too! I'm one step closer to getting on someone's good side.]
[Wang Qiao: @Xiao Liu We're planning to take turns driving away the red-eyed monsters at night. Would you like to participate?]
[Xiao Liu: This is a good plan. With someone keeping watch at night, the others can sleep peacefully. I'm willing to participate.]
[Wang Qiao: I can provide you with coffee tonight.]
[Xiao Liu: Actually, I have another idea. I'm a natural night owl, and I'm also good at swearing. I was wondering if I could stay up all night and you guys could protect me during the day?]
[Xiao Liu: Hasn't things been a bit unsettled lately? There are a lot of people searching for nicknames on the public chat to teleport and kill others. I'm afraid someone might target me.]
Wang Qiao: No problem.
[Zhang Yuning: Okay, don't worry, I won't let anyone get near your vehicle during the day, so you can rest assured and catch up on your sleep.]
【…】
That was settled. Xiao Liu would keep watch at night, and everyone would protect Xiao Liu's safety during the day.
However, staying up late is very harmful, so everyone provides Xiao Liu with extra late-night snacks.
When no one spoke in the small group, Lu Youyou closed the group and sent Xiao Liu a few sandwiches.
Then, she opened the public chat and watched while eating noodles.
After finishing her meal, she took her bowl and Xiao Hei's bowl into the folding bathroom to wash them.
Finally, take a shower and go to bed.
She slept soundly today without worrying about the red-eyed monster's disturbance.
Because she went to bed early, Lu Youyou woke up before dawn.
Pulling back the privacy curtain, she saw Xiao Liu eating bread as he patrolled between the cars.
Suddenly, it was dawn.
Xiao Liu yawned, finished the last bite of bread, and got into his car.
Lu Youyou took out a gold coin from the treasure basin and got out of bed to wash up.
After washing up, Lu Youyou scooped a ladle of dog food for Xiao Hei, then sat on the sofa in a daze.
I slept too much and I'm a little tired.
[Your friend has sent you a message.]
I turned on my watch, and the person who sent the message was Gu Jingchen.
[Gu Jingchen: Do you need bodyguards? I'll personally come and protect you, and I'll even give you an autograph. How about that? Pretty generous, right?]
