With a loud smack, Lin Sanjiu slapped the hardcover children's book back to the top of the stack of books.
The twenty books stacked on the quicksand swayed slightly and almost slid down. Lin Sanjiu quickly reached out to support them. She glanced at the stack of books and sighed. In the end, she turned them into cards one by one.
The 20 cards were stacked in her palm like a deck of playing cards. Every card had the same description: [Penguin Publishing's Children's 3D Book].
"Why did he give you so many books?" Soulsqn moved closer to Lin Sanjiu. A pungent odor assaulted her nostrils. "Do you like children's books?"
"I don't like them." Lin Sanjiu glared at Soulsqn. She spread the 20 cards in her palm in the shape of a fan. "I was wondering why he didn't give me so many Special Items and Gift Packs. Now I know why —"
When Soulsqn heard Lin Sanjiu's words, she smacked her lips and interrupted, "Actually, you don't have to tell me. I'm not interested."
Lin Sanjiu had made so many friends. Some were smart, some were cute, and some were loyal. Yet, she only had this unlikeable fellow by her side, waiting for the transfer. Lin Sanjiu changed her mind and put the cards away. Her face gradually darkened, but she continued stubbornly, "Because he is also very conflicted."
The flesh worm nodded. Then, she turned around and slithered away. She used her fleshy limbs to stroke the boxes left behind by the grand prize. Apparently, she was not interested in what Lin Sanjiu had to say.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help sighing. Subconsciously, she drew a few lines on the sand with her finger.
To ensure that she would come back one day, the grand prize had really put in a lot of effort.
[Penguin Publishing's Children's 3D Book]
Every time Lin Sanjiu opened this delicately made children's book, she would always be delighted by the origami patterns that jumped between the pages. The little houses with orange lights, the fat hippopotamus with half of its front teeth missing, the little girl swinging on a swing, the German MG37T heavy machine gun, the bloodstained rope … How realistic, how exquisite, and how interesting.
As mentioned above, this was a children's 3D book that brought joy to children before bed. Perhaps it was because he had received too many wishes of "if only this was real" from children unknowingly. Now, this book could really satisfy these children's wishes. As long as the three-dimensional image between the pages was torn off, it would become a prop in reality and be able to play its corresponding role.
However, it was important to note that as long as they were used once or existed for more than a minute, these props would become three-dimensional origami again. There are only eight 3D origami in a book, so you must cherish them!
Ji Shanqing did not want to leave her with too many Special Items, but he was worried that she would be in danger, so he came up with this compromise. This way, Lin Sanjiu would have enough items to defend herself, and she wouldn't need his help in the future because she had too many items.
She clenched a handful of red sand tightly in her fingers and closed her eyes tightly.
The grand prize hoped that she would come back, but he wasn't sure that she would. He knew that the two of them loved each other deeply, but he didn't dare to bet everything on their relationship. He didn't want to give Lin Sanjiu too many Special Items because he hoped that one day, Lin Sanjiu would come back because she needed his help. Even if it wasn't because she missed him, it didn't matter.
Compared to love, he seemed to believe in the power of practical benefits.
The more she thought about it, the more a question popped up in her mind. Since he had gone through so much trouble just to get her to come back, would she still be able to leave when the Veda was no longer there to hold her back?
Lin Sanjiu shuddered and quickly shook her head to get rid of the thought.
She wouldn't allow herself to doubt Ji Shanqing like that.
As if she wanted to divert her attention, Lin Sanjiu pushed the red sand aside instinctively. Little by little, she found a square-shaped metal box.
[Hello, sis?]
It was a communication device that Ji Shanqing had specially designed using a Special Item as the foundation. With the help of some kind of technology that humans had yet to understand, it could transmit a message across thousands of miles to another machine. Some people said that it was a telephone, but Mr. Bell, the inventor of this communication device, was very indignant about that.
"How can this be compared to a telephone?" He slammed his cane on the ground and yelled, "Have you ever seen a telephone that doesn't need radio waves or a telephone line, but can transmit a message across space and light years?"
Even though the inventor was quite confident in his product, there was still a certain distance that this communication device could transmit a message. He hoped that the consumers would take a closer look at it.
Usage: Give one machine to the contact person and keep the other one. When you need to communicate, just input a voice message through the microphone, and the message will be transmitted through the round hole at the other end.
PS: The biggest difference between this communication device and a telephone is not that it can transmit messages across space but that it can only be used once. Even though Ji Shanqing was very dissatisfied with this feature, it would take too much time to modify it. After weighing the pros and cons, he gave up and decided to make up for it with quantity.
Also, how long it would take for a message to reach the destination depended on the distance between the two parties. If the distance was too far, they might only be able to exchange greetings like "Have you eaten?" or "Yes, I have."
'This thing can allow me to contact the grand prize? '
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu's heart raced. She examined the box carefully with a mixture of excitement and caution. When she held it in her hand, she realized that even though it looked like iron, it was light and sturdy. She had no idea what it was made of.
She thought for a while and converted it into a card. However, she still did not send a message to the grand prize.
Since there was a [Hello, sister?] [Hello, sister?] that could only be used once, the grand prize would definitely leave more than one for her. As night fell, the sandstorm grew stronger. It was so strong that Lin Sanjiu could barely keep her eyes open. Lin Sanjiu rummaged around for a while and finally found another eleven or twelve small iron boxes. She had no idea if there were more, but they were all buried under the red sand.
She looked up at the sky. The originally dark blue night sky now seemed to be covered by a thin layer of red veil. The starlight, the night sky, and the light red were swirling and rolling. It was a breathtaking and breathtaking sight.
The sandstorm swept across the sky, sounding a little like the sound of the tide. After listening for a while, Lin Sanjiu gradually relaxed.
Lin Sanjiu realized that she had already used up her conversion quota for the day. There was nothing else she could do in the dark night except to rest. However, with the sandstorm hitting her face incessantly, even Lin Sanjiu found it hard to close her eyes and sleep. Every time she lay down, a layer of sand would fall into her nostrils, ears, and eyelids.
Like an earthworm, Soulsqn burrowed deeper into the sand and disappeared. Lin Sanjiu was left sitting alone under the night sky. She wrapped herself in a sheet and dozed off in the howling wind.
She spent three days in the never-ending red sand. During these three days, Lin Sanjiu was busy converting items. Her grand prize had given her too many resources. One of the currencies that could be used in the Twelve Worlds Centrum was a red crystal. Lin Sanjiu found over a hundred pounds of it from the sand. This was the first time in her life that she had ever counted so many red crystals. She did not expect that she would grow impatient from counting money.
As for the resources that might or might not be useful in the apocalyptic world, there were so many of them that she could think of and couldn't think of. However, the items that she valued the most were the two Special Items and the four Ability Packs that she found at the very end.
However, the grand prize had overlooked the fact that the sandstorm on this planet never stopped. It was constantly blowing between the sky and the earth. When it was time for Lin Sanjiu to be transported, she still had about 30 cards that could be used to convert items. This meant that there were at least 30 items buried deep in the red sand among the resources that Ji Shanqing had left for her.
"Hey," Lin Sanjiu called out to Soulsqn. Over the past few days, the flesh worm had been frustrated and depressed because she could not recover from the Salvation of God. She curled up into a ball, thinking about something. "I'm going to teleport away soon. This is for you."
Soulsqn twisted her body, and the red skin on her face twisted together. She looked at the visa in Lin Sanjiu's hand without saying a word.
"Take it," Lin Sanjiu slapped the visa on Soulsqn's skin, "Use it or leave it to me. If you want to find your people, the best way is to find Puppeteer. Wherever you go with the visa, there must be a Consular Officer. Once you find the Consular Officer, you might be able to find Puppeteer's whereabouts … It's up to you. "
The flesh worm stood up and grabbed the visa with her two limbs. She looked down and mumbled, "Soulsqn, the visa holder, destination is …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly sensed something and raised her head.
