Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 208 The Price of Apricot's Sequence! That bastard Chu Sheng deserves to die!
His eyes went dark.

This word perfectly suits Chu Sheng.

The fusion of eighty sacrificial offerings at once completely depleted his spiritual energy.

It reached the point where I could fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

However, Chu Sheng did not fall into a deep sleep. Instead, he put the Healing Leaf, which had been placed by his bedside at some point, into his mouth.

The healing leaf melted in the mouth, followed by a cool sensation that spread throughout the body, instantly waking the mind that was trying to drift off to sleep.

This is the healing leaf of the apricot, capable of stabilizing internal injuries, healing external injuries, and replenishing 5% of spiritual energy with extraordinary medical supplies.

This is also why he dared to fuse eighty sacrificial items at once.

He is a Sequence 7 ability user, and his mental strength is stronger and greater than that of other Sequence ability users.

Even if he only recovered 5% of his mental strength, it would be enough for him to move around, and at least he wouldn't fall into a coma.

As for why one-third of his mental energy was reserved as a precaution, but now only five percent is left...
Chu Sheng's gaze involuntarily drifted to the bedside.

There are also five healing leaves here.

Without even a second thought, Xingzi delivered it to the butcher, who then placed it by his bedside.

Looking at the five healing leaves beside the bed, Chu Sheng yawned and muttered to himself, "It seems this thing isn't as difficult to obtain as I thought."

When Xingzi traded with Mechanical City before, she mentioned that this thing was hard to get and that there were only five pieces in stock, but she ended up giving herself six pieces.

"I'll ask Xingzi tomorrow."

There was something he didn't understand: why did Xingzi, who also possessed the Healing Leaf, only trade five leaves with the Mechanical City?

You should know that in their fleet, extraordinary materials are the hard currency.

The more extraordinary materials one has, the stronger one's own offerings will be, and the more other things one can obtain.

No one would refuse Xingzi's offer to exchange her extraordinary materials for supplies or other things.

Even if it's Captain Hui, as long as Kyoko brings out a few extraordinary materials and wants him to do some calculations, even if it involves a Sequence Ability User, he will accept the extraordinary materials and do the calculations.

That's the magic of extraordinary materials.

Or rather, this is the magic of Chu Sheng's Heavenly Craft Sequence: as long as Chu Sheng is still around, their caravan's hard currency will always be extraordinary materials.

Everyone in the team knew this perfectly well.

Xingzi couldn't possibly not know.

As a result, she still left behind so many healing leaves.

Chu Sheng couldn't understand what Xingzi was thinking at all.

Thinking about it, he yawned again and said to the butcher who was playing with his moves, "Butcher, call me if anything happens."

"Waaaaah!" The butcher nodded and let out a strange cry.

Seeing its condition, Chu Sheng thought for a moment and added, "If you can't wake me up, feed me all five leaves."

"Waaaaah!" The butcher made the cat head in his left hand, which was baring its teeth and hissing, bite the tentacle behind him, and let out another strange cry.

Chu Sheng was relieved. Although he probably wouldn't fall into a deep sleep, who knew?

If he were to fall into a deep sleep, given the Butcher's intelligence, he would most likely not feed himself the Healing Leaf, and he might even prevent others from approaching him.

A single healing leaf restores five percent of one's mental energy; I now have five percent of my mental energy remaining.

Consuming the remaining five Healing Leaves will guarantee a recovery of at least 30% of your mental strength, and you will also recover while sleeping.

If something happens, I can quickly get up and make decisions.

We can't really rely on the Butcher and the Underworld, can we?
Maybe in the future, but not now.

Just as Chu Sheng went back to sleep, Xingzi, with a pale face, fell asleep in the back seat of the black-hearted SUV.

Ah Xin wiped away her tears with a tissue as she looked at her, "Waaah, Xi Xi, so touching!"

Is this true love?

"It feels like I'm watching an idol drama in real life. A vicious female supporting character gets in the way of a loving couple, trying to stop them from being together. But the female lead still loves the male lead deeply and is even willing to fall into a coma for him, lying in front of the vicious female supporting character so that she can do whatever she wants to him!"

Hearing her words, An Xi's face darkened.

"I'm not the villainous female supporting character! She's not the female lead! And Chu Sheng isn't the male lead!"

"If you keep saying that, I'll give you some real-world combat training!"

Anxi's tone was low and gloomy, but to Ah Xin it sounded like she had entered the eighteenth level of hell, and she instantly returned to normal.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Ah Xin returned to normal, and her cat ears stood up.

"But to be honest, Xingzi has really fallen for Chu Sheng."

As she spoke, she frowned, still somewhat puzzled, "What kind of magic does Chu Sheng possess?"

"To think that Xingzi would be so devoted to you, and even make you—" She glanced at Anxi, but didn't finish her sentence. Anxi knew what she meant and remained silent.

Seeing that Anxi didn't speak, Ah Xin didn't feel awkward talking to herself, but continued, "Actually, I know. Xingzi mentioned her sequence cost when we were playing together before."

Upon hearing this, An Xi looked up instantly. Her initial annoyance at Xingzi's kindness towards Chu Sheng was instantly replaced by confusion.

"Sequence cost?!"

"She told you about the sequence cost?!"

"Doesn't she know that this is something that shouldn't be said casually?" An Xi's voice rose several decibels.

Although she and Kyoko are rivals in love, and although she often calls Kyoko a green tea bitch, no matter what, it's still unacceptable for Kyoko to reveal the sequence cost.

Despite being a rival in love, she didn't want anything to happen to Kyoko.

After all, sequence costs are generally not noticeable unless they involve severe injuries like losing an arm or a leg, and such costs are easily exploited by others to exploit weaknesses.

Seeing An Xi's intense reaction, Ah Xin waved her hand and said, "Xi Xi, don't get so agitated."

"Don't you also talk about your sequence cost everywhere?"

"The price paid by Zhu Qing and Lu Guan is also being told everywhere." "The price paid by Chu Sheng has also been spread among the survivors."

"The price I paid for this sequence was deafness, as you all know. What's wrong with saying that?"

Upon hearing this, An Xi stared at her with wide eyes, "How can these be the same?"

"Besides his hair turning silver-white and his eyes turning scarlet, what other effects did Chu Sheng suffer from the sequence cost? None!"

"Lu Guan's price for this sequence was turning into bones, but given his current ghastly state, does it make any difference whether he talks about his price or not?!"

"And Zhu Qing! Was that a price to pay? It was an enhancement!"

"He loses his sense of pain as long as he uses his gigantification ability, and it doesn't affect his daily life normally. Is this the price he pays?! He's just showing off his ability!"

“As for me,” An Xi said, looking down at the endless airport, taking a deep breath, “Although this is a price for us women, I have to say that in battle, this price is also an enhancement!”

"You're the last one. You only awakened in front of us, but you're deaf and can't hear what they're saying. You can't hide it from them."

"That's how it came to light. Now that your hearing has returned, you can't just casually mention the sequence cost! What if someone can block your cat ears?"

At this point, her expression turned serious. "Could Kyoko possibly pay the same price as us?!"

"When she wakes up tomorrow, I need to explain this whole situation to her!"

Listening to An Xi's string of words, Ah Xin wanted to say something, but then paused, seemingly unsure how to begin.

After An Xi finished speaking, she frowned upon seeing An Xi's expression. "What are you trying to say?"

"Hmm, what if Apricot's sequence cost is really the same as yours?"

"?" An Xi couldn't help but imagine a pair of fluffy tiger ears on her head.

“When you weren’t here, I asked Anzu how she ignited the Eternal Flame.”

As she spoke, she gave a bitter smile. "You know that the condition for igniting the Eternal Flame is to sacrifice everything, but in my observation, given Xingzi's feelings for Chusheng, it's impossible for her to ignite the Eternal Flame."

“After all, you guys…” Anxi glared at her, and Ah Xin changed her words, “After all, Xingzi is a love-struck person.”

"Okay!" An Xi nodded.

Ah Xin continued, "It's impossible for a love-struck person to abandon his love, and he would never abandon Chu Sheng."

"So I'm really curious about how she ignited the Eternal Flame. If there's a trick to it, maybe I can try it too."

"She told me that Chu Sheng wasn't hers, and she couldn't let go of something that didn't belong to her."

At this point, Ah Xin's expression turned extremely bitter.

She had originally hoped to ignite the Eternal Flame, but after hearing what Kyoko said, she realized she had no chance and dared not gamble.

An Xi listened to her words with an extremely strange expression.

What do you mean by saying that Chu Sheng is not hers, so she can't give him up?

She could understand each word individually, but when they were put together, she was completely confused.

Shouldn't this mean abandoning one's feelings for Chu Sheng?

How did it come down to abandoning Chu Sheng?

"And then?" An Xi asked hurriedly.

"Then she saw that I was in a bad mood and told me about the price she paid."

"So what was the price she paid?"

An Xi stopped worrying about casually mentioning the cost of the sequence; she was genuinely curious.

Upon hearing this, Ah Xin paused for a moment before speaking again, "She said at the time that her price was to amplify a certain emotion, but before meeting Chu Sheng, she didn't even know which emotion she was amplifying."

"It wasn't until she met Chu Sheng that she realized she was amplifying her feelings of love."

"Her love for Chu Sheng was extreme. She would not treat Chu Sheng as her possession. Chu Sheng was free, and her love for Chu Sheng was her own business."

"Whether Chu Sheng loves her or not is Chu Sheng's business."

"Since Chu Sheng is not hers, then she naturally cannot possess him. Since she cannot possess him, there is no question of giving him up."

"So she told me that igniting the Eternal Flame was purely a fluke. She was prepared to sacrifice herself for civilization, but if she had to choose between Chu Sheng and civilization, she would sacrifice herself."

An Xi: "."

understood!

I completely understand now!

If she was able to ignite the eternal flame through her dedication to the continuation of civilization and her pursuit of the City of Dawn, then Kyoko was able to do so through her unparalleled love for Chusheng.

Sacrifice yourself in the choice.

"Is this the price she paid for her sequence?" Anxi's expression was hard to keep up.

"So she fell in love with Chu Sheng because of the price she paid?!"

“No.” Ah Xin shook her head, then glanced at Xingzi, whose face was pale in the back seat, and sighed. “It’s because she fell in love with Chu Sheng that she amplified her feelings.”

"There is a fundamental difference between the two."

"One fell in love because of the sequence, and the other fell in love and then amplified that love because of the sequence."

"In other words, Xingzi fell in love with Chusheng, and then became love-obsessed because of the sequence."

"Otherwise, where would all these people with love-obsessed minds come from in this world?"

At this point, Ah Xin paused, then continued, "Of course, Xingzi doesn't think of herself as being love-obsessed; she just feels like she's chasing after love."

"There's nothing wrong with pursuing love."

Hearing Ah Xin's words, An Xi also glanced at Xingzi, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, and felt a pang of pity. Then she gritted her teeth.

"That bastard Chu Sheng deserves to die!"
