256: "The sky is round and the earth is square"
"What did you find this time?"
When Zhang Yu heard that Lu Xueqing had another haul, he found it incredibly hard to believe.
One must know, what Xiao Yun and Lu Xueqing referred to as a "haul" wasn't just a small gold item.
It had to be a big gold or big red item worth at least several hundred thousand to count as a haul!
Since the start of this match, Lu Xueqing had already found three red-quality items in the bags of two elite Hafuk Soldiers.
A big red head, a big red bag, and a military shell.
Logically speaking, finding so many red-quality items in a confidential difficulty Baksh match was already incredibly lucky.
Zhang Yu hadn't expected Lu Xueqing to still be able to find more!
"What? A haul? What did you get? Show me."
Before Lu Xueqing could even begin to show them, Xiao Yun's figure suddenly appeared not far away, quickly arriving beside the two.
"Oh my! Xiao Yun, when did you get back? You scared me!"
"Just arrived. How's it going? Have you finished searching the Babel Tower?"
Xiao Yun smiled faintly.
Just now, he had also finished searching the bird nests and manhole cover supply points in the wilderness.
As he had previously speculated, the Asala Soldiers, for some unknown reason, had once again moved their hidden supplies to bird nests instead of manhole covers.
However, he was unlucky; after searching all the bird nests along the way, he didn't find any big red items, only a few one-grid little red items, which Xiao Yun was too lazy to bother with.
Otherwise, if the Asala Soldiers changed their hiding spot again and hid the supplies elsewhere, he would have to search for them all over again.
"Not yet, we just finished searching the base area of the tower and are about to go up to the top."
Lu Xueqing replied calmly.
At this point, she and Zhang Yu had just finished searching the base area of the tower, and even the supplies in the key room had been completely opened and emptied by Zhang Yu.
Even though their speed was already very fast, the Babel Tower had dense supplies, and opening the key room also took some time. Therefore, ten minutes had already passed in this match, and they had only just finished searching the base of the tower.
Now that Xiao Yun had returned, the three of them gathered at the zipline in the central control area, preparing to go upstairs to investigate and see if any wild big red items had spawned in the tower's upper area.
However, before that, Xiao Yun was also curious about their gains.
"Master, Master, you're back just in time! I'll give you all the good stuff I just found!"
As Lu Xueqing spoke, she rummaged through her backpack.
Then, under Zhang Yu's shocked gaze, she silently pulled out a pure gold globe from her backpack.
"[Item: "Heaven is Round, Earth is Square"]
Quality: Red
Price: 499524
Evaluation: I heard that confidential Baksh items are everywhere, not sure, feels like a lie."
"This is... Heaven is Round, Earth is Square? This thing must be worth hundreds of thousands if rented out for a year!"
Seeing the big red item Lu Xueqing pulled out, Zhang Yu rubbed his eyes, somewhat disbelieving.
Her luck was too good!
The red items from this confidential difficulty Baksh match alone could rival the annual output of an ordinary GTI Professional!
Of course, that was including the big red bag and big red head.
But no matter what, even if it was just the military shell and Heaven is Round, Earth is Square, the output of this match was already terrifying.
"Not bad, not bad. I knew you had good luck. Is there more?"
Xiao Yun silently accepted the Heaven is Round, Earth is Square, and with a thought, instantly transferred it to his secure container as he put it into his backpack.
"What do you mean 'is there more'? What kind of question is that... These are already four red-quality items, and you still want someone to find a fifth?"
Hearing Xiao Yun's question, Zhang Yu couldn't help but complain.
They had already found four red items, and he still wasn't satisfied!
If it were him, he'd be so excited he wouldn't sleep for three days!
Yet, Xiao Yun, after receiving so many red items, merely looked a little surprised, not at all shocked.
This made Zhang Yu feel deeply impressed; how many big red items had Xiao Yun found in the few days since he entered the restricted zone!
"My disciple's luck surely isn't limited to just these, is it?"
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and turned to look at Lu Xueqing.
After all, Lu Xueqing had just said she would give him "all" the big red items.
That meant she had found more than just one big red item this time!
"Mhm mhm! Master, there's more."
Indeed, Lu Xueqing nodded slightly, then began rummaging through her backpack again.
Next, a graphics card, still warm, was pulled out by her, clearly just removed from a computer case.
"[Item: Graphics Card]
Quality: Red
Price: 335312
Evaluation: Bring down the price of graphics cards!"
"Not bad, not bad. That should be all, right?"
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and put away the graphics card.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly, Lu Xueqing's luck was truly amazing!
They had only finished searching the base area of the Babel Tower, and she had already found a four-grid Heaven is Round, Earth is Square and a two-grid graphics card.
One must know, she found these items without opening any large safes or turning on any computers.
She simply picked them up from server cases, aviation cases, or even just from the ground, and still found two big red items!
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people playing confidential Baksh wouldn't have this kind of drop rate.
"There's one more, though it's not a big red, it's still quite valuable."
As Lu Xueqing spoke, she reached for her chest rig.
"Oh my goodness! There's more!"
Seeing all this unfold, Zhang Yu on the side suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
He had searched no less area than Lu Xueqing, and even searched faster than her, likely opening more containers than her.
So why was it difficult for him to even find a small gold item, while Lu Xueqing was constantly finding red items?
"Master, Master, look at this."
As she spoke, Lu Xueqing pulled out a box of golden bullets.
"[Item: BP Bullet]
Quality: Gold
Price: 3834 / round
Evaluation: Special bullets for the Groza and SR-3M, extremely high armor damage, kills people very quickly, fun to use."
Xiao Yun took the bullet box and found that there were a full 54 rounds.
Although this wasn't a red-quality item, its price of nearly 4,000 per round was daunting for ordinary people.
After all, in this world where everyone runs knife runs, the value of items is strongly linked to real-world currency.
A single 9x39 bullet, costing 4,000 yuan, could wipe out an ordinary person's monthly salary!
These 54 golden bullets were worth over two hundred thousand, which could be a down payment for a house in a second or third-tier city, or even buy a small apartment building in some small counties!
Ordinary agents might not even fire a few of these in their lifetime.
Everyone comes to the restricted zone to make money by running knife runs, why are you playing with your life!
"Master, there's really nothing left now, just some small gold items and such. I'll organize them and give them all to you."
Lu Xueqing said with a giggle.
Even though she had found so many valuable items, she had no intention of keeping them for herself, wanting to give everything to Xiao Yun.
Seeing her selflessness, Xiao Yun felt a little bad.
"No need, you two can keep the small gold items and sell them for money yourselves."
"Mhm mhm!"
Lu Xueqing nodded happily; a single small gold item was worth at least fifty thousand, and the money from selling one small gold item was enough for her to spend for a year!
"By the way, Zhang Yu, did you find anything good on your side?"
