Why did the alarm go off in Chapter 34?
To be honest, Xue Youyou found the Osmanthus Branch quite mysterious.
Not only did he speak in a precocious manner, but he also knew a lot of strange knowledge. He didn't seem like a young child just beginning to develop intelligence at all; he was more like a mysterious old man in a ring.
However, as long as Gui Pozhi doesn't bring it up, Xue Youyou will never ask any more questions, and the two of them maintain a respectful distance.
After all, to be honest, she was a time traveler.
These days, everyone has their secrets.
Xue Youyou expressed her complete understanding.
I never expected that Gui Po Zhi could even recognize the energy essence of the divine beast Taiyin.
You should know that this is an extremely rare treasure that even she, a top-tier player, has never seen before.
The essence of divine beasts is, in some ways, even rarer than orange skill cards.
She didn't know how to ask Meng Yanqing for it.
Xue Youyou fell into deep thought.
However, since Gui Pozhi has made a request to her, as Gui Pozhi's beast tamer, she should naturally try her best to fulfill her pet's wish.
This is the magnanimity that a master beast tamer of the highest level must possess.
At this moment, Meng Yanqing, seeing Xue Youyou's rare conflicted expression, finally felt a sense of satisfaction at having regained her composure and couldn't help but smile smugly: "How about that? I told you you'd never guess. Want me to tell you?"
Xue Youyou frowned, her expression shifting between light and shadow. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she looked at Meng Yanqing with a serious expression: "I'm not entirely sure, but I have an idea."
"Want to make a bet with me? If I'm right, you'll give it to me."
"Of course, if I admit I'm wrong, you can do whatever you want with me."
That's right. After thinking it over, Xue Youyou finally decided to use the same trick again, making a bet to see if she could get Meng Yanqing for free once more.
This time, however, Xue Youyou tried her best to act like a gambler who was uncertain about his own outcome, so as to give Meng Yanqing more confidence.
Of course, even so, this cannot be considered a good strategy.
Rather, if Meng Yanqing could actually fall into the same pit twice in a row, Xue Youyou would think she could run for the title of the most idiotic beast tamer of the year at Lanzhi Academy.
If it were someone else, Xue Youyou wouldn't have chosen to repeat the same trick.
However, since the target is Meng Yanqing now, Xue Youyou feels that this trick is worth trying again.
Because she really didn't respect Meng Yanqing's intelligence.
In fact, Xue Youyou always felt a sense of intellectual superiority when she was in front of Meng Yanqing.
At this moment, Xue Youyou waited expectantly for the other party's reply.
However, after Xue Youyou finished speaking, Meng Yanqing's smile froze, her facial muscles began to twitch slightly, as if she had been reminded of bad memories, and her blue eyes stared straight at Xue Youyou.
A good ten seconds or so passed...
Only when Xue Youyou felt uneasy under his gaze and could no longer maintain her facade did Meng Yanqing say in a plaintive tone, "Youyou, do you want me to run for the Blue Orchid Academy's Most Idiot Beast Tamer of the Year?"
"..."
"Haha..." Xue Youyou chuckled dryly after her scheme was exposed, silently raising Meng Yanqing's IQ rating in her mind.
This time, the two remained silent for another ten seconds.
However, Xue Youyou was quite thick-skinned. She quickly composed herself, recovering from her slight panic at being exposed, and calmly said, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, "How about a friendly price? I'll take this bottle of divine beast essence!"
Meng Yanqing rolled her eyes. She was truly exasperated with Xue Youyou. She had just been acting guilty, but now she was putting on a nonchalant attitude.
He even mentioned a "friendship price" to her.
If she continues to believe Xue Youyou's nonsense, she'll be a complete idiot.
"Don't even think about it. If you take two items at once, you'll trigger the anti-theft mechanism here."
Meng Yanqing said irritably, "If you disturb my grandma, you won't even be able to take the orange skill card."
She was under a lot of pressure before deciding to secretly give this orange skill card to Xue Youyou.
This is different from when I lost the bet with Xue Youyou last time.
Once exposed, it won't just be a matter of deducting her allowance; she'll probably face a long period of confinement.
However, Meng Yanqing was still defeated by Xue Youyou's "Greedy and Evil" gaze, and said with great reluctance, "If it really doesn't work, why don't you just give up the skill card and I'll give you this bottle of divine beast essence instead."
It must be said that Meng Yanqing's proposal was quite appealing.
Exchange the energy essence of the divine beast Taiyin for orange skill cards.
The key point is that the cassia branch is actually useful, so no matter how you look at it, it seems like you're only making a profit.
Just as Yuki Yuuyu was beginning to agree, the Yuki-onna, who had transformed into a snowflake and was perched on Yuki Yuuyu's head, became anxious.
Sensing that the cooked skill card was about to fly away, the pure white snowflake trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its hexagonal body.
In fact, Yuki Yuuki sensed that the Yuki-onna of the Divine Era was showing signs of degeneration, which startled her awake.
She almost forgot about something so important.
One of the conditions for the evolution of Yuki-onna in the world of Kamishiro is that she consumes the most resources from the entire team!
The value of divine beast essence is immeasurable. If Gui Po Zhi were to exchange for divine beast essence first, then without a doubt, Gui Po Zhi would become the pet that consumes the most resources.
It would ruin the myth of the Snow Woman of the Divine Era.
The snow fell silently, a chill running down my spine.
This is not just a losing proposition, it's downright foolish.
After quickly communicating with Gui Pozhi and explaining the pros and cons, Xue Youyou looked at Meng Yanqing with righteous indignation and said, "What kind of person do you take me, Xue Youyou, for?"
"If it's a promised orange skill card, then it's a guaranteed orange skill card!"
"Why would I take advantage of such a thing?"
The sudden display of righteous indignation caught Meng Yanqing off guard, leaving her speechless. After a few seconds of silence, she became worried about Xue Youyou's mental state: "Youyou, do you have a split personality?"
"Being consistent inside and out!"
"Uh... if you really want the essence of a divine beast, that's fine too. Although it's precious, well, I don't really know how to use it..."
Seeing that Meng Yanqing still wanted to say something, Xue Youyou waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to say more: "No need, I want the skill card today."
As for the essence of the divine beast, she will come to collect it another day.
Xue Youyou silently added in her heart.
Take it slow and steady, don't rush.
"Hehe..." Seeing Xue Youyou's insistence, Meng Yanqing was not foolish enough to think that Xue Youyou had a change of heart and was sticking to her moral principles. She just assumed that Xue Youyou, like her, had only a superficial understanding of the essence of divine beasts and did not know how to use it.
Without saying anything more, Meng Yanqing took down the orange skill card placed on the third jade platform and looked at Xue Youyou with a complicated gaze.
At that moment, Xue Youyou sensed that Meng Yanqing wanted to say something to her.
Meng Yanqing pursed her lips, but in the end said nothing. She simply handed the orange skill card to Xue Youyou with a solemn expression: "Don't let it go to waste."
Meng Yanqing's voice was very soft; if the underground environment hadn't been unusually quiet, Xue Youyou probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.
"Don't worry, what I have will only be carried forward and improved." Xue Youyou happily accepted the skill card.
However, just as Xue Youyou was about to check which ice-type skill the orange skill card belonged to, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, an alarm went off in the treasure vault.
"A thief has broken in!"
"A thief has broken in!"
"..."
