Chapter 83 The Radiant Young Lady
"Dimensional pocket!" Xu Si was overjoyed; this was exactly the function he needed most!
Although it's only one cubic meter, it's enough to store many critical supplies, such as food, water, spare fuel, and even... his [Sword of Punishment] and various strange drops he's collected.
He tried reaching inside the cloak, concentrating his mind, and indeed sensed a stable space of about one cubic meter in size.
Inside, there were only a few compressed biscuits that he carried with him and kept in his down jacket.
He then smoothly stored the Sword of Punishment from the passenger seat into it, as if it were truly in his own pocket.
Having solved his storage problem, Xu Si was in a great mood.
What pleased him even more was the price he paid for the [Empty Cloak].
This cost perfectly offsets the cost of [Ice Heart].
Without the [Empty Cloak], it would be a pipe dream for an eighteen-year-old boy like him not to be distracted.
He has suffered losses at the cost of Bing Xin's actions more than once.
Xu Si felt the strange emptiness brought by the [Empty Cloak], which intertwined with the forced calmness of [Ice Heart], forming a delicate balance.
He is no longer as easily swayed by emotions as before, but he has not completely lost his emotional fluctuations.
It feels amazing.
He put the remaining dried fish and several bottles of drinking water into his dimensional pocket, and tested the storage and retrieval a few more times to confirm that the operation was smooth.
With this, many things become much more convenient.
"System, how many purification points are needed to upgrade the dimensional pocket of the [Empty Cloak]?"
1m³ is still too small; it can't hold anything slightly larger.
[Upgrade the Dimensional Pocket's capacity to 2m³, estimated purification points required: 5000]
[Upgrade?]
"no"
Xu Si made a quick decision, as if he was afraid the system would automatically deduct the amount from his account.
"Is air dust really worth so many purification points? This is the first time he's encountered such a high cost. Although he still has 100,000 purification points, using them to upgrade his pocket is far too extravagant."
With these 5,000 purification points, he could make five Sequence Awakening Potions.
After all, this wasn't a matter of life and death, so he wanted to save the purification points to improve his own strength or the strength of the caravan.
Continue to close your eyes and regulate your breathing, waiting for the [Wax Melting Messenger] upgrade to complete.
The two-hour wait wasn't long. When the notification sound rang again, Xu Si immediately opened his eyes.
Vehicle upgrade complete!
The appearance of the "Wax Messenger" in front of us has not changed much. It still looks like a rugged off-road vehicle covered with gray and white wax armor and dark red patterns.
Upon closer inspection, however, one can see that the wax armor has a deeper color, and its texture seems to be covered with a fine layer of bone. The dark red patterns have also become more complex, resembling the totem of some ancient creature.
The overall aura it exudes is more substantial and solid, like a small, mobile fortress.
[Current Vehicle: Wondrous Object - Molten Wax Messenger (Cretaceous Form)]
[Ranking of Oddities: 2755]
[Current holder: Xu Si]
[Enhanced Trait: Waxed Armor → Chalk Bone Armor]
Description: Significantly enhanced physical defense and energy resistance, stronger self-repair capabilities, and additional resistance to "tear" and "penetrate" type damage.
New Feature: Mark of Pain (Passive)
Description: When a vehicle collides with or runs over an enemy, there is a chance to inflict a "Sad Mark," weakening their defense and speed, and marking their location for three minutes.
[New Cost: Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!]
[Review: It's not only tough now, it can also make the enemy remember the pain! (Note: Ram them!)]
To Xu Si's surprise, the ranking of [Melting Wax Messenger] actually improved by nearly two hundred places!
The newly added "Cretaceous Bone Armor" and "Painful Mark" greatly enhance the survivability and control of vehicles.
Xu Si patted the steering wheel with satisfaction, feeling the more stable and profound pulse emanating from the "Messenger of Molten Wax".
Just as he was getting familiar with the upgraded vehicle, a slight energy fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of the pickup truck, carrying a warm and comforting feeling, like the spring sunshine.
"It worked?" Xu Si looked over.
In the back seat of the pickup truck, Jiao Jiao was enveloped in a faint, milky-white halo. The skin on her cheeks, which had been somewhat chapped, became smooth and rosy at a visible speed, and the fatigue from days of travel was swept away.
She slowly opened her eyes, and a soft light seemed to flow in them, carrying an unprecedented peace and... holiness?
"Auntie! I...I think I succeeded!" Jiao Jiao's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and a hint of novelty.
"I feel...so warm, like I can...help everyone!"
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Su Su's usually tense face as she gently patted her shoulder.
Fu Xiaojian and Xiao Luo were also awakened by the commotion and went over as well, their faces filled with relief and anticipation.
"The Radiant Believer Sequence..." Fu Xiaojian murmured.
"It seems to lean towards support and healing. Jiao Jiao, how do you feel? Do you have any special abilities?"
Jiao Jiao tried to sense it, tentatively reaching out her hand. A ball of milky white light, the size of an egg, condensed in her palm, radiating a comfortable temperature and a faint vitality.
"I...I seem to be able to emit this light, it feels very warm, it should...it should be able to heal some minor wounds?" she said uncertainly, bringing the ball of light close to a tiny abrasion on Su Su's arm, and the abrasion indeed healed slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Great!" Xiao Luo cheered.
"From now on, Sister Jiaojiao will be our team's nanny!"
"Get lost! 'Nanny' sounds awful. Please call me Miss Radiant!" Jiao Jiao glared at him reproachfully, but couldn't hide the joy on her face.
She is no longer a burden, but a member who can truly contribute to the team!
She was generous, and small orbs of light overflowed from her fingertips, spreading to everyone. The largest orb crossed the convoy and landed directly on Xu Si.
"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am!"
Xu Si leaned against the car window, feeling the fatigue in his body and mind disappear, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
It seems this investment is a sure thing.
Unfortunately, the strange drops suitable for upgrading to awakening potions seem to be extremely rare. He has handled quite a few strange drops over the years, but the system only indicates that this one can be upgraded to an awakening potion.
"Sister Jiaojiao, does your sequence have any other characteristics?"
"Of course, there's also a purification property and a feedback property."
"Just like this, with a touch of light from his fingertip, the pickup truck looked brand new, as if it had been meticulously polished and refined!"
Then she touched the people in the convoy who had gathered around her, and they all felt refreshed. The aura of the [Lord of the Corruption] and the filth on their bodies disappeared.
