After examining it for a long time, Xia Chujian confirmed that the chemical agent in the Black Silver bullet had finally stopped working.
From the moment she fired directly with the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, to the "dissolving" effect ceasing, a full ten minutes had passed.
Good heavens, this is way more overbearing than conventional thermal weapons!
Sniper bullets are powerful, but it's all over in the blink of an eye.
But these special bullets for the Black Silver Mecha, it's not just a blink of an eye, it's many blinks of an eye.
It can guarantee that you completely "return to dust, and earth to earth."
Without the slightest possibility of resurrection, reorganization, or regeneration.
Xia Chujian was particularly fond of this kind of lethality.
It's just too expensive.
Xia Chujian thought with some melancholy, and she can't even get Quan Yuxun to reimburse her, what a loss...
Sure enough, in front of someone like Quan Yuxun, even she, Xia Chujian, has to suffer.
Quan Yuxun was also in a daze.
He looked at the hall, which was obviously much cleaner and tidier than before, his brain almost stopped working.
If this place was more bloody, chaotic, or even dirty, he could understand.
The only thing he didn't understand was, how did it get so clean?! Where were the wreckage, traces, liquids, the broken experimental platforms, tables, chairs, and glass shards? At least a third of them were gone.
Also, before he fainted, he clearly remembered Bunis splitting into eight tentacle seaweed ball monsters, but now he only saw four.
Where did the other four go?
Quan Yuxun's mouth twitched, his thoughtful gaze turned to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian was racking her brains, thinking about how to get Quan Yuxun to reimburse her for the mecha bullets without exposing her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha.
Seeing Quan Yuxun's inquiring gaze, Xia Chujian had a flash of inspiration, and continued to maintain a slightly sluggish expression and tone, saying with lingering fear, "Qilin, you're awake! I was really scared to death just now! You definitely won't believe what happened!"
Quan Yuxun: "... Tell me, maybe I'll believe you."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Quan Yuxun was indeed not easy to fool.
But for the sake of her bullet expenses, and to hide her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, Xia Chujian still mustered up the courage to make up a story: "Really! I'm not lying to you!"
"You were knocked unconscious by those tentacle seaweed ball monsters, and I was anxious to see how you were... Suddenly! Something fell from the top!"
Xia Chujian pointed to the dome above her with great seriousness.
That was part of the experimental hall, and at this time it was also pitted and uneven, and those ceiling lights, chandeliers, recessed lights, shadowless lights, LCD lights, etc., had long been smashed.
Quan Yuxun was shocked, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
He murmured, "... So, that thing appeared?"
He hurriedly took out the button-shaped device, opened the outer cover, and directly looked at the data displayed inside.
"... Sure enough, there was a huge energy burst ten minutes ago... So, that thing is still here!" Quan Yuxun was so excited that he no longer avoided Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian: "..."
She felt like she had heard something amazing.
Her mind raced, and she continued, "... I don't know what that thing is, but as soon as that thing appeared, those ugly and terrifying tentacle seaweed monsters in the air looked like they saw something they were particularly afraid of, and they were anxious to fly away."
"But that thing specifically chased after those seaweed ball monsters! It was so fast, it would catch up to one and eat the Black Goat head in the middle of the seaweed ball monster!"
"Once it ate the Black Goat head, those tentacle seaweed ball monsters couldn't move, they must have died."
Quan Yuxun asked eagerly at this time, "Where is that thing? Where is that thing now?"
Xia Chujian's eyeballs were rolling behind the eyepieces, fortunately Quan Yuxun couldn't see her gaze, otherwise he would definitely know she was lying.
She said, "... In the end, that thing was eaten by that seaweed ball monster..."
She pointed to the place where the last tentacle seaweed ball monster she killed was, "That guy saw that dodging wasn't working, so it simply opened its mouth wide and ate it! As a result, after eating it, good heavens, it actually became powerful! It seemed to have evolved intelligence! It knew how to lure the enemy in deep! I thought it was dead, and when I was sneaking over to check, it suddenly launched an attack and sprayed a lot of liquid at me!"
"I only had time to use a shield I got from the Dark Night Hunter Association to block it, otherwise those liquids would have sprayed on me!"
"And guess what happened... my shield, my shield worth ten thousand Beichen Coins, was dissolved by the liquid it sprayed!"
"Besides dissolving my shield, that monster sprayed everywhere, and as you can see, this entire area, everything on it, was dissolved by the liquid it sprayed!"
"I really couldn't stand it, seeing it so rampant, not knowing how many flowers and plants it would ruin. I originally wanted to give it a shot, but when I fired, it was like shooting into thin air, because its entire evil body suddenly dissolved right before my eyes!"
Xia Chujian made up such a long story mainly for two purposes.
First, to explain why a third of the area had been "cleaned" up, specifically stating it wasn't cleaned, but dissolved.
Second, to subtly ask for money, emphasizing that her shield was very expensive! And Quan Yuxun, because of his preconceived notions, was finally getting a lead on what he had been searching for, and didn't think Xia Chujian was lying at all.
He even asked in detail, "What exactly did that thing look like? Describe it to me carefully."
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes, not so "free-spoken" anymore.
Holding the Destroyer 1 Large Sniper Rifle, she tentatively asked, "...Why do you want to know what that thing looks like? Are you looking for it?"
Quan Yuxun felt that it was highly likely that Xia Chujian had seen that thing.
Since she was already in the know, and the only living eyewitness, he no longer hid it from her.
Quan Yuxun walked to the spot Xia Chujian pointed out where the seaweed ball monster had finally dissolved, and carefully measured it with the button-shaped device.
Indeed, the residual energy waves were the strongest in this area, almost blowing up his little detection device.
He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I came here to find something. I don't know if what you saw is what I'm looking for, but based on the energy wave situation, it's very similar."
Quan Yuxun stood up straight, looked at Xia Chujian, and said, "The thing I'm looking for is called Jia Fruit."
"Which two characters? Is it the 'fruit' as in fruit?"
"The 'jia' as in commendation, and the 'fruit' as in fruit. It is indeed a fruit, but not an ordinary fruit."
Xia Chujian was secretly surprised. She had just made it up on the spot, but it was actually somewhat close to the truth...
It seemed she had some literary talent after all.
Xia Chujian felt inexplicably pleased with herself.
She was most afraid of writing compositions, but suddenly, she felt like it wasn't that difficult.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't it an ordinary fruit? Is the taste particularly good?"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
Someone actually asked about the taste of "Jia Fruit". This was truly ignorance is bliss...
Quan Yuxun came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I don't know what it tastes like either. It's not something that can be produced here. It is said that this Jia Fruit contains very high-intensity energy waves and is not eaten directly."
"If this monster really swallowed an entire Jia Fruit, then it's only natural that it dissolved."
"The temperature here is so high, I should have thought of it sooner. Besides the Jia Fruit, nothing else can provide so much heat."
Quan Yuxun was a little dejected.
The thing he had been looking for for so long was actually swallowed by this monster...
But that also made sense. If this monster hadn't swallowed the Jia Fruit, how could it have evolved intelligence?!
Quan Yuxun was silently thinking about his own concerns, but Xia Chujian was pondering how to change the subject.
She coughed and asked, "Qilin, if the Jia Fruit isn't produced here, where is it produced? Do you have any fruit pits there? Can it be planted?"
The veins on Quan Yuxun's forehead were about to bulge out.
Xia Chujian asked again, "How did you know there was Jia Fruit here? Who told you? What are you going to do with the Jia Fruit? -- I don't think this thing is reliable. It's definitely a top-notch weapon for killing people. Look at its dissolving ability, it's even more powerful than strong sulfuric acid, and it doesn't leave any chemical residue."
Quan Yuxun: "You even know about strong sulfuric acid?"
Xia Chujian: "...This is required content for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. My aunt reviewed it for me."
Quan Yuxun didn't allow her to change the subject: "You haven't said what that thing looks like yet?"
"...Don't you know what it looks like? Why are you still asking?" Xia Chujian asked in confusion.
Quan Yuxun said calmly, "So I want to confirm if it's the Jia Fruit I'm looking for."
Actually, Quan Yuxun had never seen what a Jia Fruit looked like. If it weren't for the special circumstances this year, apart from a few top existences in the Royal Family, no one would know what a Jia Fruit looked like.
Only the High Priest had given him a little description.
He still had to gather information from Xia Chujian to confirm.
Xia Chujian was helpless and racked her brains to say, "...It was too critical at the time, and I didn't pay much attention. That thing fell from the dome, and it was so fast that I couldn't see it clearly at all. It wasn't until the Black Goat bit it in one gulp at the end that I hurriedly glanced at it."
"It seems to be long and narrow, with one end rounded and the other relatively sharp, and it has a brilliant golden color..." As Xia Chujian spoke, she peeked at Quan Yuxun, trying to see some clues from his reaction.
Unfortunately, Quan Yuxun had recovered and was no longer so excited. At this time, he was calm and composed, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations at all.
Xia Chujian felt that writing an essay was too difficult at this moment...
She had to keep making it up! She closed her eyes and said like a broken jar, "It's only the size of a palm, but it's so fast!"
What she described (lied), the shape was that of a sniper rifle bullet; and the color was the color of her favorite Golden Fruit...
But Quan Yuxun was secretly shocked when he heard it.
Because the High Priest had told him about the appearance of the Jia Fruit, and it was indeed a fruit with a "light golden appearance like an eggplant".
Isn't an eggplant long and narrow? This girl really saw the Jia Fruit!
What a blessing...
