Because Su Bai's message was a few seconds later and was listed first, Shen Muyu clicked on it casually.
"Besides antibiotics, I also need hemostatic bandages, do you have any?"
It's a very short sentence, but it's already a big improvement. Before, they would just send a link without saying anything more.
"Yes, what do you plan to use in exchange?"
There was no reply. A few seconds later, a link popped up. Shen Muyu clicked on it and found that this time it was not blueprints, but fragments of six bulletproof steel plates.
On the other side, Su Bai leaned back in the car seat with his eyes slightly narrowed. His already injured arm hung limply at his side, and blood was still seeping from the wound even though it was bandaged.
His arm was almost healed, but today's dungeon caused the wound to tear open and become infected by the filth there. If it weren't for his superhuman physique and willpower, Su Bai probably would have died in the dungeon.
However, it was almost time. The wound, which was unable to heal due to infection, continued to bleed. The unprofessional tools were proving ineffective at this point. If Shen Muyu had seen the message a few hours later, Su Bai would have really died.
In fact, Su Bai was also a little hesitant. Although the bulletproof steel plate was a good thing, and he had obtained it from the only silver box, it was only a fragment after all. Perhaps the other party did not think it was worth the price. However, he really did not have anything better.
Now is not the time to think too much. Su Bai tried his best to control his breathing rate and reduce the number of heartbeats so that his body could hold on a little longer.
When Shen Muyu saw the item being traded, she blinked hard. Was this the thing she knew? Without hesitation, she scanned it and sent it over.
Sure enough, it's a great thing to increase a car's defense. Although she hasn't gotten her hands on any firearms yet, what if someone else does? She has to arm herself to the teeth first.
It doesn't matter that these are just fragments; she has a backpack that can be amplified. Who knows how long it would take her to get to this thing on her own? There's too much uncertainty. It's better to get it as soon as possible.
After placing the items, the two completed the transaction, but Shen Muyu didn't pay attention to it immediately, since Mu Chen was still waiting there.
"Do you still have any paper money? Can you trade it all to me? I can exchange it for anything I have. If it's not enough, I'll pay you back slowly. Trust me!"
Shen Muyu frowned when she saw the message. Mu Chen had always been carefree, even adding emoticons to his messages. This was the first time Shen Muyu had seen him so anxious, as if he had changed his personality.
"You've already used them all up. Are you that far behind? You can try posting a link in the store. As long as the price is more reasonable than the limited-time store, someone should be able to exchange for it."
"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and do your own thing. I don't have anything else to do."
"Okay...are you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't worry (=^▽^=)"
After sending that message, Mu Chen slumped into his chair. He was utterly devastated after seeing Shen Muyu's first reply.
In fact, he had already sold most of what he could, but unfortunately he didn't have much stuff to begin with, and the items weren't very valuable, so he only sold a little over four hundred items in total.
Like Shen Muyu, he unlocked his bond with Mu Yao, but the amount of paper money he needed doubled, now requiring 2000 to summon the person to his side.
Don't be fooled by the large number of people on the bus; the price per person is too low, only 1 paper money. He and his brother worked hard throughout the entire instance and only earned a little over 800. Even with the 400, they were still short by nearly 800.
He hadn't originally planned to ask Shen Muyu, after all, they had finally built a fairly good friendship, and Mu Chen didn't want to break it for personal gain. But he really had no choice, and in a moment of impulse, he sent it out anyway.
After sending the message, he was filled with both anticipation and regret. Although Shen Muyu's words made him feel somewhat hopeless, he also breathed a sigh of relief. This was fine too.
Mu Chen stared blankly at his surroundings for a long time, then closed his eyes and slapped his face a few times with his hands, though he didn't use much force.
"Mu Chen, wake up! Mom and Dad are waiting for you! He's waiting for you too! Besides, there will definitely be more dungeons! We'll meet again, and then we'll definitely save enough money to redeem your brother!"
As Mu Chen fought, he muttered incoherently to himself, as if hypnotizing himself. After finishing his incantation, he let out a long breath, then pulled down the sun visor in front of him, smiled at the small mirror, as if he had returned to the sunny state he had been in before.
He didn't buy anything from the limited-time shop, just in case the money was saved, just in case he could save enough next time, because this was his brother's ransom money!
On the other side, Shen Muyu noticed Mu Chen's strange behavior, but she didn't say anything more. After coming here, she had to learn to rely on herself. She couldn't even see her own future, so she really didn't have the energy to care about others anymore.
Moreover, she firmly believes that everyone will receive their own retribution, so keep going and overcome it!
"Little A, what time is it now?" Shen Muyu leaned lazily against the car door, while Big White blocked her view. Too lazy to get up, she simply asked Little A directly.
"Master, it's already 5:51."
Hearing this time, Shen Muyu hesitated. Yesterday, the electronic voice said that people who did not participate in the dungeon would no longer encounter resource boxes, but it did not say whether people who came out of the dungeon would still encounter them.
Shen Muyu originally planned to test it out after leaving the dungeon, but it was really late now, and her energy had been completely exhausted by the dungeon. She didn't know whether she should travel a little longer.
When she opened the chat area, her last bit of hesitation vanished.
"Those who have just returned from the dungeon shouldn't bother driving around. There are no resource boxes spawning at all. I've been driving for over an hour and haven't seen a single box. It's such a waste of time."
"You'd be that kind? You wouldn't be doing this so we can get fewer resource boxes, would you?"
"Well, my good intentions have been taken for granted. Believe it or not, try it yourself."
"What he said must be true. I set off as soon as I got back. The roads were wide and open, but I stopped after forty minutes without seeing anything."
"I don't believe you. You're all in cahoots. I'm leaving, bye-bye~"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Muyu decided not to continue. She hadn't rested at noon, so she decided to make up for lost time by going until now.
After lying down for a while, Shen Muyu pulled the big white coat aside, sat up straight, and opened her backpack. She was going to enhance the bulletproof steel plate.
