Chapter 13 Awakening Sequence: The Extraordinary Method
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously. I'll take the down jacket and backpack inside. You can give me some other supplies, preferably gasoline." Xu Si felt a little uneasy, but he still tried to remain calm.
He didn't look closely inside, but it was definitely filled with women's clothing, perfect for exchanging for gasoline.
"I can give you a backpack and a windbreaker, and a maximum of ten liters of gasoline. I'll also give you three bottles of water," Su Su said, glancing at Xu Si's supplies.
These are all things that Xu Si urgently needs right now.
"That would be perfect!" Xu Si was very satisfied.
Su Su seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; she was really afraid that Xu Si would insist on a high price, which would have made things difficult for him.
Tashan and Susu each returned to their own vehicles with the supplies.
Xu Si stayed put, feeling worried for the first time because he had too many supplies. He could only wait to exchange them for something better.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take so many supplies with him and would have had to sell them off cheaply.
Just like that bespectacled young man's motorcycle.
"I'm formally inviting you to join the team with coffee instead of alcohol." After Su Su returned with what she had promised Xu Si, Fu Xiaojian formally extended the invitation.
This means that the supplies he collects will also be distributed in the future.
However, he had no reason to refuse, as most supplies in the apocalypse circulated only within small circles, as did news.
Clearly, he knew the least, because that was determined by the social circles before the apocalypse.
"I hope you will all take good care of me in the future!" Xu Si gestured to the group.
Tashan was very happy because the convoy had gained another member, while Su Su nodded indifferently. This little girl must have been a top student just like her younger sister before the apocalypse.
Only when speaking to those close to them can they show more kindness.
"Then let's begin the transaction now!"
Fu Xiaojian was very excited because he knew that Xu Si would definitely offer half of the supplies in the trade, since the small electric vehicle had a limited carrying capacity.
He's now considering what price he should pay.
"I need gasoline, drinking water, and a tent; I can trade them for food."
This was a decision he had made after much deliberation, as these supplies were exactly what he needed most at the moment.
There wasn't enough gasoline to go around, and he only had the three bottles of drinking water that Su Su had given him earlier.
As for the tent, it was to prevent having nowhere to sleep when it rained. In the past, he would just wear a raincoat and tough it out when it rained, which was not a pleasant experience.
Although he had that cloth covering to provide some simple shelter, it was neither rainproof nor warm.
"I don't have any extra tents, but how about I trade you ten liters of gasoline for this bag of rice?" Fu Xiaojian said, pointing to a ten-kilogram bag of rice.
He naturally knew that Su Su had just given him ten liters of gasoline, so Xu Si wasn't short of gasoline at the moment, and the price she offered was fair.
"Another bottle of water, and a message!" This guy's already drinking coffee, so he probably doesn't need water.
"Deal, but only if I know the information and am willing to share it."
Fu Xiaojian was very happy and decided to have rice for dinner tonight.
"Wait a minute, bro, I have a tent," Tashan said as he walked toward the school bus.
If you were to ask who here is most likely to have a tent, it would definitely be Tashan.
Everyone on his school bus handed over their supplies for shared use, and with so many people, someone must have brought a tent.
"This one is in the best condition, but it's a pity it's only a single tent. Don't mind!" A short while later, Tashan came over carrying a small bag.
"Look what you need?" Xu Si said happily as he took the tent and pointed to the supplies in his bundle.
"Never mind, consider it as making up for the supplies you just lost," Tashan said generously.
"Brother Shan, that doesn't make sense. You've forgotten the first rule of the team—equivalent exchange. I made that choice myself!" Xu Si said.
"Then I'll just take this small pot of oil," the big guy said, scratching his head. Looking at the serious expressions of Su Su and Fu Xiaojian, he also felt that he might have made a mistake.
Xu Si has two barrels of oil, one large one with about five liters and the other small one with 1.8 liters. It's hard to say who will make a profit or loss, but their overall value is about the same.
"Looks like we'll be able to have a good meal tonight," the big guy said happily.
As for female students, he seems to have everything he needs.
Xu Si still had a lot of supplies, but he estimated that he could fit them in the delivery box, his backpack, and some on the footrest.
The next step is to increase the load capacity of the "super knife".
If it could be upgraded to a rural tricycle with a cargo bed, that would be great. He could even have a place to sleep. Or it could be upgraded to a food delivery tricycle.
As for upgrading to a car, he really didn't intend to get rich overnight.
After the transaction was completed, Xu Si couldn't wait to pour all the gasoline he had received into the "Super Knife's" fuel tank. Watching the fuel gauge slowly rise, he felt much more at ease.
As for the rest, he kept them all in plastic bottles for future use, without wasting a single bit.
Whether used as fuel or oil, it is the best choice.
If I were to make a Molotov cocktail and upgrade it with Tongzige, I wonder if it would cause harm to the Weirdos.
As for the remaining supplies, he carefully stuffed them into the delivery box and backpack, and then used the cloth to collect them all, securing them firmly to the foot pedal.
The knife suddenly became a bit bulky, but at least the problem of carrying it was solved.
As night fell again, a small campfire was lit in the center of the camp, dispelling everyone's anxiety and unease.
"What news do you want to know?" Fu Xiaojian looked at the campfire in the middle of the camp with a somewhat melancholy expression.
Xu Si was speechless. How come even in the apocalypse, he, a country bumpkin, was still a country bumpkin, while the young master was still a young master?
"I want to know how to awaken a Sequence Transcendent?"
The sequence of extraordinary represents power. Su Su's flexibility was already surprising enough, but Ta Shan's physique made him even more envious.
The Stoneborn sequence is practically identical to the Stone Goblins encountered in the canyon; it's no exaggeration to say they're practically immortal.
Fu Xiaojian looked at Xu Si in surprise. Could it be that he really hadn't awakened?
Could that power in the canyon be the power of a wondrous object? But how can one use a wondrous object without awakening it?
"I can talk about that," Fu Xiaojian naturally wouldn't go back on his word, since it didn't involve his own secrets and was within the scope of what he could reveal.
"At the very beginning of the strange occurrences, some people awakened superpowers, that is, sequence extraordinary beings, or awakened beings."
"Everyone who awakens a sequence inherits information from that sequence. No one knows how this information came about. As the sequence is unlocked step by step, more information is inherited."
But awakening is not without its price; every awakened one must pay a price, such as Tashan's narcolepsy and Su Su's indifference.
Xu Si didn't seem to care at first, but now that he thinks about it, it's true.
"They are currently only at Sequence 1, so the symptoms are not very obvious; it's like the early stage."
As the sequence is gradually unlocked, the symptoms will become more and more severe. Only when the sequence reaches 7 and is at a higher level will the symptoms lessen.
"Pre-apocalyptic speculation suggests that this cost will disappear only if all sequences are unlocked, that is, when sequence 9 is reached."
"There are only two ways to awaken a sequence to transcendence: natural awakening or using a sequence potion."
