With a slurp, a few drops of soup splashed into the air and landed on the grand prize's clothes under the orange glow of the fire. Ji Shanqing sat cross-legged under the umbrella, his long hair tied behind his head. His white, jade-like cheeks were faintly pink, and his lips were red and shiny from the hot food in his hand. His mouth was stuffed with food.
"Is it good?" Lin Sanjiu asked as she wiped the soup stains on his pants.
It had been quite some time since the grand prize and Puppeteer sat down. The lounge finally regained some of its previous hustle and bustle. However, the shouts for recruitment, the warm smell of snacks, and the murmurs from the fortune-telling stall … All of these hustle and bustle were blocked by the circle of people standing beside the umbrellas. It made the place even more serene and quiet.
Lin Sanjiu and her companions were surrounded by many motionless posthumans who had already been turned into puppets. Under their cold gazes, Lin Sanjiu had long lost interest in selling noodles. She rested her chin on her hand and watched her grand prize eat.
Ji Shanqing swallowed the last of the noodles and gulped down half a bowl of soup. He wiped his mouth and exhaled a long breath of contentment. The white steam he exhaled still carried the smell of beef, but it dissipated into the night sky like fog. He turned to Lin Sanjiu and smiled, "It's so delicious! I feel like I'm alive again! Although it's delicious, it's not as fragrant as it smells. I think if I can add a handful of chopped green onions and an egg … "
"Let's get down to business!"
Puppeteer, who was sitting in the shadows, interrupted him gloomily.
"We can talk while we eat," Lin Sanjiu said with a frown when she saw her grand prize put down his bowl. "If you are hungry, you can have a bowl too. I heard that when a person's blood sugar drops when they are hungry, they tend to get grumpy."
Puppeteer sneered. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if he was angered by Lin Sanjiu's words because his face was always pale. He scrunched his face and said softly, "Cut the crap. Since you like it so much, why don't I turn the blood flowing in your veins into noodle soup? "
Soulsqn, who was looking at [Chu Qian Yi Ding Soup Noodle], immediately lowered her head.
Lin Sanjiu put away her Special Item resentfully. When she raised her head and looked at Ji Shanqing, she noticed that the grand prize was looking at the birdcage behind her. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Back in Meat Elysium, the grand prize only had a brief encounter with the bald man, and it was only when the rift was wide open and the wind was strong. Even though Lin Sanjiu was certain that the grand prize wouldn't remember the bald man's face, she still shifted her body and hid the birdcage behind her. She chuckled and said, "It's for someone else's safekeeping … What do you want to tell me?"
Ji Shanqing came back to his senses. "Ah!" He smiled and said, "Sis, I told you why we are going to Red Nautilus, right? The Data Stream Library is actually a piece of space … Do you remember? "
Lin Sanjiu nodded. It wasn't difficult for her to understand the concept of two apocalyptic worlds existing in the same space. After the grand prize explained it to her, she felt that it was only natural. However, if the grand prize hadn't explained it to her, she wouldn't have thought about it in that direction.
"I told my thoughts to this grand …" the grand prize paused, "but I didn't have the time to explain it to you. Now that we are all here, we can talk about it together."
He cleared his throat and looked at the two humans and Soulsqn beside him. He said in a low voice, "The Veda first modified this piece of space so that they could live in it. Then, they modified at least two planets. We already know about this. One is the Salvation of God, and the other is the Olympics."
The two humans and one insect listened quietly. Only the faint sounds of people and fireworks could be heard from the resting area. The night wind blew them away.
"We have spent four days in the Olympics," the grand prize said. As if he was afraid that they didn't know how to count, he gestured four and continued, "I was worried that the Veda would come after us. If that happened, the first thing they would do would be to search the Salvation of God zone. That was also the reason why I chose Red Nautilus. But now, it seems like I was worried for nothing. There are so few people in the Salvation of God zone. If they came, they would have already found my sister. Since they didn't find us, it means that they probably didn't come. "
Puppeteer seized the opportunity and sneered.
The grand prize looked at Lin Sanjiu awkwardly. When he saw that she was expressionless and did not move, he continued, "I don't know why, but since the Veda didn't come, we have another option."
"What do you mean?"
"According to my speculation, you —" The grand prize suddenly realized that he had almost made the same mistake, so he quickly changed his words. "We won't start from scratch in the Olympics. There are still a few months left in the Salvation of God, so we will stay here for a few months. That way, we can just wait for the day of transfer in the Olympics. Once the time is up, we will leave and never have to deal with the Veda again. What do you think? "
"That won't do!" Lin Sanjiu rejected the grand prize's suggestion. She pointed at Puppeteer and said, "He left my friend in the Salvation of God. I have to go back to look for him."
Soulsqn straightened her upper body and said, "That cat can live well anywhere. Why do you care about it?!"
Ji Shanqing had a bitter look on his face as well. "Sis, why do you still have so many friends in the apocalypse …"
"Put your hand down," Puppeteer warned Lin Sanjiu softly. He turned to the grand prize and said, "This won't do. I still need to go back and teach those Veda a lesson. "
Soulsqn did not say anything.
The grand prize's face darkened even more when he heard that. He did not dare to question Lin Sanjiu, so he pointed at the dark sky above them. "If that's the case, we have to go back to the sky."
Both of them nodded. Only the flesh worm stood there, frozen.
"That's a little troublesome," the grand prize sighed.
Before the apocalypse, going to space was something that could only be achieved with the help of a country's military apparatus and an astronomical amount of resources. Even for posthumans with many Special Items, it was not an easy feat. Lin Sanjiu and Soulsqn almost lost their lives when they were dragged off the surface of the Salvation of God.
Not to mention, they did not even have the strength to "pull" them this time.
"Then, what should we do?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"Speaking of that," the grand prize sighed. His face was downcast. "We need to analyze this world first."
"We can help you analyze it …" Before Lin Sanjiu could finish her sentence, Soulsqn had already nodded her head. However, Ji Shanqing raised his hand and interrupted her, "There is no need for that. I already have an idea."
"What is it?"
"The Olympics must have been modified by the power of the Veda. Otherwise, a natural planet would not look like this. Since they did not come after us, there is only one person on this planet who is most likely a Veda or is related to the Veda. "Ji Shanqing stared at the people in front of him and said softly," The highest god, Zeus. "
"There is a high chance that Zeus has a way to return to the Data Stream Library," the grand prize continued. "As long as we find him, we should be able to enter space. By then, we can either settle the score with the Veda or return to the Salvation of God through the Data Stream Library. "
"In other words, we have to win the competition and get first place to meet Zeus?" Lin Sanjiu frowned. "I remember the information on the stone wall saying that the person who wins the most events in each region …"
"Yes, we can meet Zeus. I remember that too, "the grand prize replied. "It's just that Stonewall didn't mention how long it would take for him to win. Was it a month or a year? However, the stone wall in the resting area is no longer working, so we can't get any more information. We can only wait until tomorrow. "
"If that's the case …"
Lin Sanjiu's expression slowly changed as she pondered over the matter. She sighed deeply. Her voice was filled with exhaustion. "We can't rest for three days after a race."
Ji Shanqing nodded. He took two steps closer to Lin Sanjiu, half embarrassed and half sympathetic. The smell of beef assaulted her nostrils. "Sis, you can't choose a race tomorrow … Why don't you choose an easier one?"
