394: crocodile blood sample

“Master! You lied!”

Lu Xueqing turned her head, pouting, halfway through searching the crocodile egg.

However, judging by her expression, she didn't seem angry at Xiao Yun, but rather at herself.

“Master wouldn’t lie, I know that. Could it be that my luck has run out…”

Meanwhile.

Liu Shihhan had also equipped her weapons and saw a pile of small blue and purple items on the ground from a distance, immediately feeling a bit strange.

“Although there are many supplies dropped here, the drop rate isn’t high at all? Xiao Yun, what’s going on? Not even a small gold item dropped. This is nothing compared to a big safe.”

Clearly, Liu Shihhan had also heard the boast Xiao Yun made earlier.

And after seeing the ground covered in blue and purple items, she was also slightly disappointed.

“Impossible! Let’s search again and see.”

Xiao Yun scratched his head, his brow slightly furrowed.

This shouldn’t be!

Logically speaking, even if the Crocodile Nest didn't drop a big red item, he should at least find a few small gold ones, right?

How could so many things drop, yet not a single gold coin?

Immediately after, Lu Xueqing continued searching through the other half of the nest.

Gas torch, canned food, stir-fried noodles…

Nothing!

“What’s going on?!”

Seeing this pile of trash on the ground, perhaps these items wouldn't be considered trash by ordinary operators, but for the teams in this match, whether it was Xiao Yun or other teams, small blue and purple items were supplies they looked down upon.

Having entered the Eternal Night Dam, if they still stuffed items worth less than 30,000 per slot into their bags, they would be no different from starving ghosts!

However.

Xiao Yun never expected that the Crocodile Nest, which was supposedly the highest drop rate location in the entire Eternal Night Dam, even with Lu Xueqing’s super high luck value, didn’t even yield a single small gold item!

This was too contrary to common sense, too shocking to Xiao Yun’s worldview!

Could it be that a positive and a positive make a negative, and the high drop rate canceled out the high luck?

“Wait, what’s this?”

Lu Xueqing continued searching the Crocodile Nest, hoping for something she might have missed.

And sure enough, the next second, she discovered a peculiar can.

[Material: Crocodile Blood Sample

Quality: Purple

Price: Unknown

Rating: Unknown]

“Master, Master, look at this!”

Lu Xueqing handed the found test tube to Xiao Yun, and the next second, the system panel appeared before him.

Although the material was called Crocodile Blood Sample, the liquid inside was not red, but a medium shade of purple, while the cap of the reagent bottle was red.

“This is…?”

Seeing this special material, even Xiao Yun, who had the system to query material information in a second, was a bit stunned at this moment.

Because even on the system panel, the price and the system’s rating for this crocodile blood sample were both unknown!

This was the first time the system had encountered such a situation.

One must know that even the Blue Eagle Fighter Xiao Yun had collected from Baksh earlier only showed 'unable to query' for its price on the system panel.

And the system’s 'unable to query' merely meant that there were no transaction records for this item in reality, so it couldn't be found.

However, Xiao Yun had seen the crocodile blood sample Lu Xueqing found from the crocodile egg before.

In the game of his previous life, this seemed to be just an Easter egg material worth 8000.

It couldn't be traded on the exchange and could only be sold to the system. It seemed useless, just like a special Easter egg similar to the Wheat Egg.

However, in this world where everyone ran with knives.

When the system panel popped up in front of Xiao Yun, it directly displayed 'Price Unknown'!

Coupled with the strange color of the blood sample, Xiao Yun immediately had a bad premonition.

This thing… it was very likely not a good thing!

“This item doesn’t seem to be in the material catalog provided by GTI.”

Liu Shihhan tapped her temple with her finger, and after some thought, she was equally puzzled.

“But logically speaking, this crocodile egg is similar to an ordinary bird egg, and it should only contain materials recognized by GTI. So what’s the situation with this reagent?”

“In any case, I’ll keep it safe for now.”

Xiao Yun cautiously took the crocodile blood sample, then with a thought, put it into his secure container.

It occupied only one slot in the secure container, yet it stood out remarkably, as if specifically to highlight its abnormality.

“Could it be… we’ve discovered a new usable material!”

Lu Xueqing suddenly thought, becoming a little excited.

“It’s possible.”

Liu Shihhan nodded silently; it was indeed possible.

“Master, Master, we might truly make history in this match! We’ve discovered a new area in the restricted zone and a new material. If we report this to GTI, we’ll definitely be written into history books!”

“No, you absolutely must not tell anyone about this material.”

Seeing Lu Xueqing a bit agitated, Xiao Yun’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Although what Lu Xueqing said made some sense, and normal people would indeed think that way.

But only Xiao Yun, who understood the logic behind the restricted zone, knew that this matter was not that simple.

After all, the materials appearing in the restricted zone were all agreed upon by GTI and the two factions.

And this crocodile blood sample was neither in GTI’s database nor within the system’s display range; there was definitely something abnormal going on, but Xiao Yun couldn’t figure it out right now.

“Remember, you must not tell anyone else about getting this test tube.”

Xiao Yun frowned slightly, instructing them solemnly.

“Especially… personnel related to GTI.”
