Chapter 386 The Stolen Golden Mist Core
This short sentence reveals two pieces of information.
Monsters lurk in the mist.
Defeating monsters only gives you a chance to obtain Fog Cores.
Many people on the public chat were asking the person who posted about the location of the Mist Monster, but that person never replied.
Lu Youyou tentatively entered "Mist Monster" into the [Universal Map], and to her surprise, a corresponding red dot actually appeared on the map.
The nearest spawn point for the mist monsters is only half an hour away from her.
Of course, this is the estimated time based on the navigation system's safe driving speed.
Lu Youyou didn't plan to use a safe speed, after all, she had the all-powerful map and was connected to the navigation system. Her naked eyes couldn't see the road conditions, but the navigation system could.
"Navigate, drive at top speed."
【OK. 】
The car sped through the fog.
The half-hour drive took Lu Youyou less than ten minutes to complete.
She immediately used the ten-leaf clover to disperse the surrounding fog and then shrunk the vehicle to make it easier to fight.
There are many mist monsters in this area, at least a dozen.
They resembled clouds in the sky, only darker and grayish in color.
It has no hands or feet, and its shape is irregular, yet it possesses human facial features.
The mist monsters, who were having a wild party: ...?
Who blew away their fog of shame?
Upon seeing Lu Youyou's familiar face, I instinctively wanted to smile, but then I suddenly remembered that I was still at work, and immediately turned fierce.
"Ouch!"
"Woo——"
"Hooray!"
Different fog monsters let out different roars and launched their skills at Lu Youyou—vast swaths of fog.
The mist they emit is different from the mist they blow away; it doesn't gather the blown-away mist but disappears automatically after it fails to attack humans.
Lu Youyou moved nimbly, using her hidden blade to kill three mist monsters while dodging.
"Okay, time to go home!"
Lu Youyou's ears twitched; she seemed to be hallucinating.
Facing several more enraged mist monsters, she didn't have time to think too much and focused entirely on the battle.
To hone her combat skills, Lu Youyou usually doesn't let her pets fight at the beginning.
Only after killing the mist monster with the expected speed and power, and not wanting to repeat the monotonous monster-killing process, did Lu Youyou allow the three little ones to join the battlefield.
More accurately, it was a crow.
It spread its wings and summoned a gale to disperse the mist monsters.
Almost every Mist Monster drops a treasure chest upon death, but very few monsters drop Mist Cores upon death.
Lu Youyou first collected the fog cores and treasure chests closest to her, and then walked towards the treasure chests in the distance.
As she collected the supplies, she made plans in her mind.
The mist monsters sound tough, but they're actually easier to deal with than the insects in the insect plague if you just blow away the mist covering them.
At least the overwhelming number of insects won't die from a single gust of wind.
Suddenly, Lu Youyou felt a flash of light in her eyes.
Upon closer inspection, a mist core had landed on the treasure chest; it was a yellow mist core!
She immediately walked over there, and suddenly smelled a soap scent that didn't belong to her.
A bad feeling welled up in her heart, and Lu Youyou immediately used the Shadow Step.
But it was too late; the yellow mist core was taken by an invisible person.
Lu Youyou immediately launched a odor tracking missile, sprinkling some towards the source of the soap scent.
The odor homing missile will only emit its odor after hitting a target; if it misses a target, it will disappear automatically after being launched.
The familiar stench brought Lu Youyou a moment of relief from her tense state.
Hit!
She immediately collected the remaining treasure chests and mist cores, then, smelling the stench left by the man, she drove after him at top speed.
She arrived at a base, but the gates were tightly closed and there was no way to enter.
"Grass!"
She cursed as if to vent her frustration.
The base is the gang's safe haven; not only can monsters not enter, but non-gang members cannot enter without permission.
Lu Youyou could only wait.
We waited and waited, and then it got dark.
The people inside were guilty and no one came out all day.
Lu Youyou was determined to go against him, so she deployed her mobile base nearby, right next to the main gate of that base.
The two gates are exactly one meter apart, within sight of the fog.
Let's see who has both money and free time.
"Youyou, is that gang over there your new friends?"
After parking his car in the garage, Wang Qiao returned to his room and saw Lu Youyou standing guard at the door.
Lu Youyou gritted her teeth in hatred: "No, someone from this base stole my yellow mist core."
"I stared at that yellow mist core for less than three seconds, and before the virtual instruction manual was even activated, it was stolen. I really... wanted to blow up this base."
"A yellow mist core?!"
Wang Qiao tossed a mist core into his hand: "You mean this?"
"Yes, they look exactly the same to me."
As she spoke, the virtual instruction manual in Lu Youyou's eyes activated, revealing an introduction to the yellow mist core.
[Golden Mist Core: Contains ten times the energy of a regular mist core. It can be exchanged for any high-level item in the exchange shop and can be placed in a decomposition device to refine golden essence...]
The ellipsis is not the end, but rather a sign that more features await exploration.
Lu Youyou was even angrier. Damn thief!
"Actually, from another perspective, you're quite lucky. I only got one Golden Mist Core after fighting for a whole day, while you got one after just one wave of monsters."
Wang Qiao offered Lu Youyou some words of comfort.
"Youyou, have you noticed that your luck is slowly improving? You're not as unlucky as you were at the beginning. Maybe you'll get a new Golden Mist Core after fighting another wave of monsters?"
"But why should we just let it go? If they dare to steal your things, I'll do nothing else but stay here and guard them. I don't believe they won't come out."
Clearly, Wang Qiao had only made herself angry, and couldn't persuade Lu Youyou at all.
"Hey, Youyou, Qiaoqiao, what are you doing? There's a base over there, are they our new friends?"
After parking his car, Zhang Yuning saw the two whispering to each other at the door, so he came over to join them.
Lu Youyou recounted her experience again, still furious as she did so!
"Damn thieves, don't worry, I'll wait here too. I've never even seen the Golden Mist Core, and it's already been stolen!"
So, the two-person revenge team was joined by Zhang Yuning, becoming a three-person revenge team.
"Xiao Ning, what are you three doing here instead of sleeping? What's that base over there? Are they your friends?"
Before Lu Youyou could speak, Zhang Yuning vividly recounted the situation to Zhang Weimin, leaving out every detail as if he had witnessed it firsthand.
The three-person team at the entrance became a four-person team, then a five-person team, a six-person team, and then a thirty-person team.
The entire gang stood guard at the entrance; even a mosquito coming out of the opposite base couldn't escape their skills and items.
Thirty people collectively hurled insults at the opposing base. Even if everyone spoke at a normal volume, it was still so loud that it kept people awake.
The gate to the base opposite opened.
