What's the price?

One bottle every two weeks.

Leave it there for six months, and I'd end up owing Shen Sui a whole case.

What a rip-off!

If it comes to it, I'll just put it on the skateboard!

With a little squeezing, it'll fit.

The Demon Spirit Rabbit Skateboard had a wind resistance system that kept it stable. There was no way the Huangyang Wine would fall off.

Yellow Hair gloated:

"Finally, I'm not the only one getting exploited."

Cheng Yuening secretly poked her head out of the darkness and nodded.

Neither of them had a vehicle, so they kept their supplies in Shen Sui's car too. He had gouged them plenty of times.

Although there were plenty of ordinary people's vehicles in the group, they didn't dare store their supplies in those.

If a crisis struck and they had to flee, they genuinely worried that an Anomaly might swallow up the ordinary people, their cars, and all the supplies along the way.

At least Shen Sui's car was safe. If anything happened to him, the whole team would be pretty much finished anyway.

It was just that the owner was so damn greedy!

Lin Yu looked at the Huangyang Wine, then at the woven plastic sack full of supplies beside his skateboard, and sank into thought.

He was considering whether he could fit all of it on the skateboard.

Just then.

Ye Qing's gaze shifted, and she spoke.

"Put it in my car."

She stood beside Lin Yu, her exquisite red dress showing off her nearly perfect figure to the fullest.

She looked especially...

Enticing!

"What's the price?"

Lin Yu asked reflexively.

"Free."

Ye Qing's lips curved slightly. She glanced at Shen Sui, her voice languid and alluring. "I'm not as greedy as a certain captain."

The corner of Shen Sui's mouth twitched.

Greedy...

Who are you talking about?

Free?!

Lin Yu's eyes immediately lit up.

He wasn't the only one.

Yellow Hair's eyes lit up too, and he said excitedly:

"Ye Qing, I..."

Ye Qing immediately refused:

"Not you."

Yellow Hair's eyes widened:

"Why?"

Ye Qing gave it some serious thought before answering:

"You're ugly."

Yellow Hair stared wide-eyed, then looked at Lin Yu's face and was immediately overcome with shame!

He trembled, on the verge of tears!

One attempt at being outgoing had turned him into an introvert for life!

He should have kept his mouth shut!

Lin Yu instinctively looked up at the Red Supercar nearby. Vivid and fiery, it commanded attention just by sitting there, radiating a powerful presence.

Although it wasn't a Transcendent Transport.

It was about as good as ordinary vehicles got.

Lin Yu had no objections to storing his supplies in Ye Qing's car.

But...

Free?

He had heard a saying: free was the most expensive price of all.

Lin Yu thought it over for a while before making his decision. He smiled at Ye Qing and said:

"Sorry for the trouble, then."

He didn't have any important supplies anyway. Even losing all of them wouldn't matter!

Leaving them with Ye Qing was better than putting them in that greedy captain's car.

As for the one important thing, the Huangyang Spirit Liquid, he would definitely keep it on him. Something like that wasn't safe in anyone's car!

The corner of Shen Sui's mouth twitched, and he sighed softly.

Damn it...

She stole my business.

Ye Qing nodded lightly, then glanced at the woven sack on the ground and frowned. "That sack isn't going in my car. Take the supplies out and put them in my trunk."

His woven sack had been rejected...

Lin Yu looked helpless.

Who would use a woven sack if they had a choice?

He hadn't had any other options!

Lin Yu didn't have many supplies, and he soon moved them all into Ye Qing's trunk.

The Red Supercar had been specially modified, giving it a spacious trunk that could hold plenty of things. Although it couldn't compare to a regular sedan's trunk, it was already remarkably roomy for a sports car.

What surprised Lin Yu, though.

Was how few supplies Ye Qing had...

There was hardly anything in either the trunk or the seats.

She has so few supplies?

Or...

Does she have some other way to store things?

Lin Yu had only paused for an instant, but Ye Qing noticed. Standing beside him, she looked him up and down with her captivating eyes and asked playfully:

"What is it? Why are you staring at my car like that?"

"Want to sit in my passenger seat?"

Lin Yu was caught off guard and said:

"I've never seen such a beautiful sports car."

Ye Qing's lips curved slightly, her voice seductive and alluring:

"You like sports cars? That's easy. Conquer me, and both the car and I are yours."

Ye Qing extended a pale finger and dragged her bright red nail hard across Lin Yu's chest, leaving a red mark...

Lin Yu caught her soft, delicate hand, looked down at his chest, then looked back up at her. The corner of his mouth twitched as he said:

"I'm bleeding."

Ye Qing licked her lips enticingly, her voice languid and seductive:

"Afraid of pain? There are things that hurt even more... Want to try?"

Ye Qing leaned closer, bringing her exquisite face right before Lin Yu's eyes.

A faint fragrance drifted into Lin Yu's nose. It smelled refined, nothing like cheap perfume.

It was wonderfully pleasant, almost addictive.

"Stop messing around."

Lin Yu released Ye Qing's hand and walked toward Shen Sui without looking back.

Ye Qing watched him go with amusement in her eyes, then looked down at the faint trace of blood on her fingertip. She held it beneath her nose and sniffed, murmuring so quietly that only she could hear:

"What a truly transcendent scent..."

Shen Sui began organizing people to boil potatoes. They had gone so long without encountering a [Choice] that food had become scarce. Many people had been going hungry, planning to eat only when they could no longer hold out.

Now that they had suddenly obtained so many potatoes, they could finally have a meal!

Boiling potatoes required a lot of water. Although their team wasn't short on water for the moment, they absolutely couldn't waste it.

No one knew when they might run short again.

So Shen Sui organized the survivors to boil the potatoes in batches using several large pots, minimizing wasted water as much as possible.

In the apocalypse.

Waste was the same as not valuing your own life.

Lin Yu tossed two potatoes into a pot as well. As Transcendents, they had the right to the first batch. The other survivors could only keep boiling theirs in the potato water left behind.

While waiting for the potatoes to cook, Lin Yu began studying his ability.

[Clear Path Ahead]

He could see threads of many colors in the air, stretching in different directions. Their colors represented different outcomes, while their shades and thickness indicated intensity and uncertainty.

As a Traveler, Lin Yu clearly understood what each thread meant.

The green thread leading due west meant that the road ahead was generally safe. Many faint black threads mingled beside it, indicating that there would still be some danger amid that safety, but nothing too severe.

The black thread leading due east represented danger. It was drawing closer and closer, indicating that danger was approaching. Judging by its current state, however, it would take about ten hours to reach this place...

To the southwest, a transparent thread flickered, indicating an opportunity for a [Choice] there...

As long as he went that way, he would most likely encounter a [Choice].

After becoming a Traveler.

Lin Yu felt as though he had activated a cheat that revealed the entire map.

Even though he couldn't see exactly what was happening in every direction, he could use the threads to gain a general sense of his surroundings!

At least.

Determining whether fortune or danger lay ahead was no problem at all!
