268: Chapter 268 If he's doing well, I'm doing well too!
Seven days later.
Noon, the sun was bright.
"Click."
The top hatch of the Red Wolf Tank finally opened slowly.
A stunningly beautiful figure was the first to jump out of the cockpit, landing steadily on the ruins.
It was Xia Li.
At this moment, although she was wearing her usual capable combat suit, her entire demeanor had undergone an earth-shattering change.
The cold, murderous aura that usually kept people at a distance had dissipated significantly.
Replacing it was a rosy complexion and flowing eyes.
Even just standing there, her whole being exuded the mature allure of someone who had just experienced her first intimate encounter.
"Oh! Sister Li! Good afternoon!"
Several female players from the White Hunt Group who were organizing supplies nearby walked by and immediately crowded around.
"Sister Li, you look so good today!"
"Your skin is so tender it's like it could be pinched and drip water!"
"Exactly, exactly. It seems you've had 'plenty of rest' these past few days!"
Several girls winked at each other, their mouths hanging with "I know what you mean" mischievous smiles.
Their gazes drifted intentionally or unintentionally toward the tank that had been shaking violently for seven days.
They were all adults.
Everyone knew exactly what had happened over these seven days.
"Go away, go away, go away!"
Xia Li's face instantly flushed red, all the way to her earlobes.
She forced herself to put on her usual icy big sister majesty and glared with her beautiful eyes: "What are you all gossiping about!"
"Hurry up and get back to packing your gear!"
"Notify everyone, prepare to break camp and set off!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"The big sister has spoken, sisters, let's retreat!"
"Blehh..."
Several female players giggled as they saluted and ran off, disappearing in a flash.
Watching their teasing backs, Xia Li stomped her foot in feigned anger, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a sweet smile.
...
Looking at the other side.
"Huu..."
At the tank hatch, a slightly trembling hand reached out, gripping the edge tightly.
Immediately after.
The wasteland's number one fierce man who once fought a god one-on-one and shattered the firmament with a single cannon shot—Lu Yuan.
At this moment, he was weakly supporting his old waist with one hand, his legs shaking, as he struggled to crawl out of the tank.
Lu Yuan's eye sockets were deeply sunken, and thick dark circles hung under his eyes.
His originally rosy complexion now showed a paleness of "exhaustion."
A gust of wind blew by.
Lu Yuan shivered all over, looking like a weak scholar whose essence had been completely drained by a succubus.
In the distance.
Old Ma, Wang Jian, and several other guild core members who had just finished gathering in Sector 777 were squatting on the ground smoking.
When they looked up, they happened to see this heartbreaking scene.
The group was stunned at first.
Then, they exchanged a look that "every man understands."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Wang Jian took a deep drag of his cigarette, shaking his head and sighing: "Seven days! A full seven days!"
"As the saying goes, there are only exhausted oxen, not broken fields!"
"The ancients never lied to me!"
Old Ma pinched out his cigarette butt and slapped his thigh, standing up.
"No way! The boss has given too much for our guild!"
"Look at this, his body is so depleted!"
"As the logistics manager, I must help the boss replenish!"
Old Ma grabbed a large iron ladle and dashed into the logistics kitchen.
...
Ten minutes later.
A large dining table was carried in front of Lu Yuan.
Just as Lu Yuan sat down on a chair, supporting his waist, and saw the dishes on the table, his eye twitched violently.
[Stir-fried Lamb Kidneys with Scallions]
[Secret Charcoal-Grilled Tiger Whip]
[Explosive Garlic Roasted Oysters]
[Scrambled Eggs with Chives]
A whole table full of food!
Greens, yellows, sizzling with oil!
This wasn't eating; it was a "saturated firepower rescue" aimed directly at his kidneys!
Old Ma brought over the last pot of "Ten-Complete Turtle Soup" and approached with a fawning, mischievous smile.
"Hehe, Boss, eat it while it's hot!"
"This is a special national banquet I meticulously prepared for you!"
Lu Yuan looked at the pot of turtle soup that was still bubbling, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"What are you doing?!"
Lu Yuan slammed the table, forcing himself to raise his voice, and roared sternly: "You guys don't think I can't handle it, do you?!"
"I'm telling you!"
"Don't talk about a mere seven days!"
"Even a month..."
"Cough—! That wouldn't be a problem either!"
Facing Lu Yuan's stubborn denial.
Old Ma was not intimidated; instead, he smiled so hard the wrinkles on his face bunched together.
His boss was just too concerned about saving face!
Looking at his current exhausted state, it didn't seem very convincing!
"Understood! Understood, understood!"
Old Ma nodded like he was pecking at rice, agreeing repeatedly: "The Boss has world-shaking power, unparalleled in the world!"
"But..."
Old Ma changed the subject, his tone earnest: "Even the best war chariot needs an oil change and maintenance after driving for seven days and seven nights, right?"
"Just treat it as routine maintenance!"
As he spoke, Old Ma mysteriously leaned in toward Lu Yuan, looking around like a thief.
Then, with lightning speed, he shoved a small reddish-brown medicine bottle into Lu Yuan's palm.
"Boss, take this."
"The brothers all understand."
Old Ma winked at Lu Yuan and lowered his voice: "This stuff is a collector's item, take it and drink it secretly."
Lu Yuan looked down suspiciously.
He opened his palm.
He saw that on the exquisite small glass bottle, there were two shining characters printed clearly:
[Shenbao]
Below was a line of highly penetrating small text:
[He's good, I'm good too.]
Lu Yuan: "..."
Looking at this "miracle medicine" in his hand, then looking at Old Ma who was smiling obscenely beside him.
Lu Yuan's eyes went black, and his blood pressure almost blew through his skull on the spot.
"Get out, get out, get out!"
Lu Yuan broke character and cursed, waving his hand impatiently, "What are you all gossiping about!"
"Hurry up and pack up, get ready to break camp and set off!"
At this moment, facing the teasing of his subordinates, he actually had a tacit "synchronization" with Xia Li in the distance.
Watching Old Ma's back as he walked away, looking back every three steps and holding back laughter.
Lu Yuan looked left and right with a guilty conscience.
The next second.
With lightning speed.
He grabbed a sizzling, oily, explosive garlic roasted oyster from the table and wildly shoved it into his mouth!
"Ouch..."
Lu Yuan supported the chair with one hand, rubbing his old waist with difficulty.
"That fierce woman! She's just too wild!"
"That Sleeping Beauty talent, with infinite physical bonuses, it really ruins the balance!"
Although he refused to admit it, Lu Yuan knew very well in his heart that these seven days were truly a tough battle.
"Hiss! No way!"
Lu Yuan gasped, slapping his thigh.
"I still have the mythic-grade treasure chest dropped by the god-slayer!"
"System Daddy, bless me!"
"Give me some top-tier treasures to replenish!"
Lu Yuan moved his mind, immediately opened the system backpack, and dragged out the treasure chest that exuded an ancient aura.
[Ding! Mythic-grade treasure chest detected, do you want to open it?]
"Open! Open it for me now!" Lu Yuan roared impatiently.
"Boom—!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant red beam of light erupted from the treasure chest, shooting straight into the sky!
[Ding! Congratulations to player Red Wolf, you have obtained a mythic-grade aura skill!]
[Plunder Aura!]
