Chapter 226: Unexpected X Progress

After dealing with Bai Mao's matter, the celebration party has come to an end.

When Xiao Jian and Zhang Jinyu arrived at the scene, no one noticed...

"I'm late, I only have leftovers." Zhang Jinyu said apologetically, "How about... I bake some potatoes for you?"

"Okay." Xiao Jian smiled.

The banquet was almost over, so the basket of potatoes that Zhang Jinyu held as a prop was now useless.

However, she still carried the basket of potatoes over and put it to use.

"..."

Zhang Jinyu found a stick, pulled away the half-extinguished campfire, got some charcoal that was still burning, and then threw the potatoes into the remaining charcoal and buried them.

"I loved eating baked potatoes like this when I was a kid... One time, my brother and I stole a few potatoes from home and ran to the mountains to dig holes for baking. Guess what? We dug out several more sweet potatoes!"

Zhang Jinyu was sitting next to the bonfire, holding her knees with one hand and playing with the stick in the bonfire with the other.

"...Have you dug up someone else's vegetable patch?" Xiao Jian immediately guessed the reason.

"Yes, but the land was neither fenced nor marked, and there were no sweet potato seedlings on it... We just felt that the place was flatter and the soil was softer, so we dug holes there."

"Now that I think about it, there is not a single blade of grass in that place. It must have been hoeed by someone... Unfortunately, we were only thinking about roasting potatoes at the time and didn't think much about it at all."

Zhang Jinyu half-sticked out her tongue and made a face, then she didn't know what she thought of, and she snickered in a low voice.

"Are the sweet potatoes you dug very small?" Xiao Jian suddenly asked.

"Uh, yes...how did you know?" Zhang Jinyu was stunned, and then looked at Xiao Jian in surprise, "Have you ever...had this kind of function before?"

"I'll say it again, gods are not omniscient and omnipotent!" Xiao Jian said helplessly, "I just guessed that the sweet potatoes you dug must have been planted by others..."

"Ah!?" Zhang Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed, "Haha... yes! Why didn't I think of that! If they weren't just planted, why aren't there even sweet potato seedlings!"

After shaking her head and laughing for a long time, Zhang Jinyu's mood suddenly became depressed.

Seeing this, the smile on Xiao Jian's face slowly faded.

Her brother, although I don't know if he is a cousin or a cousin, is probably gone.

According to Zhang Weidong, they are the only two people left in their family now.

Zhang Weidong has brothers, and he also has multiple children.

In the end, after experiencing this doomsday, only their grandfather and grandson were left.

It is estimated that the number of lost relatives cannot be counted with both hands and feet.

"It rained a few days ago."

Just when Xiao Jian didn't know how to comfort her, Zhang Jinyu suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, I heard that too."

"You said... if we collect all the world fragments, will our world be reassembled?"

Zhang Jinyu turned her head and looked at Xiao Jian's face expectantly.

"Well, this... I guess it's unlikely. Many world fragments have perished." Xiao Jian said truthfully.

"I think so..." Zhang Jinyu sighed.

"But it's still possible to build a new world."

As soon as Xiao Jian said these words, Zhang Jinyu's eyes lit up and she turned around to stare at him closely.

"Although our own world fragments have been consumed a lot...but the world fragments in the fog are endless, we can steal others'!"

Xiao Jian said matter-of-factly.

"Robbing? This..." Zhang Jinyu hesitated.

"Or to resist aggression... Anyway, we are all in a dark forest. As long as two civilizations meet, they will inevitably fight to the death. When the time comes, just wait for them to launch an invasion first, and then eliminate the invaders."

"Does that make you feel better?" Xiao Jian asked with a smile.

"...Same." Zhang Jinyu forced a smile.

"You still feel something is wrong...I know." Xiao Jian also sighed, and then said that "Gospel World" was invaded by "Dragon Skull City" in order to prepare sacrifices for the "Parasite God".

When the entire "Gospel World" was destroyed, all the survivors became slaves of the Dragon Skull Clan.

Some of these are what Xiao Jian has experienced, and some are what he has seen from those scrolls and documents.

All in all, whether they are humans or gods, or even ascended to civilization...in this fog, everyone is in a superposition state between hunter and prey.

Once the two sides encounter each other, the probability will collapse. In the end, the winner will be the hunter and the loser will be the prey.

The flesh and blood of the loser supplies the winner, which ultimately makes the winner stronger and then faces a more powerful challenge.

"...Everything in the fog seems to be cursed, and you will constantly encounter opponents who are equal to you. And once you lose once, you will completely lose everything."

Xiao Jian sighed.

Even if they are as powerful as the Dragon Skull Clan, they will eventually be absorbed and digested by the entire clan, turning them into puppets and flesh and blood of the evil god.

In this cycle, both gods and various civilizations are facing tremendous pressure to survive.

If you don't eat others, you will be eaten by others. Only by eating the other person to strengthen yourself can you gain a more advantageous position in the next collision.

"..."

Zhang Jinyu seemed to feel the power in Xiao Jian's words. She followed his thoughts and thought about it for a while, and she felt a sense of urgency: "Will it be the same for us? We will soon encounter the next evil god, right?"

Zhang Jinyu was a little nervous, but Xiao Jian shook his head slightly: "It seems unlikely now... According to the analysis of Shao Youxian and others, it seems that we accidentally got stuck in two bugs."

Then, Xiao Jian briefly talked about the theory that the researchers had come up with. The general meaning is that the "refresh" of each wave of monsters is regular, and this stage will not be skipped before the current BOSS is defeated.

Currently, there is a tiger-shaped monster wandering outside the fortress town... As long as it doesn't die, it seems that it will not encounter new forces.

Although Xiao Jian is a little skeptical about this theory, at least so far, it has not been falsified.

In this case, let's temporarily regard this theory as accurate.

"...I hope I won't encounter the evil god again." Zhang Jinyu said.

Although Xiao Jian knew that was impossible, he didn't speak to burst her fantasy.

At least now, Xiao Jian didn't want to be the bad guy who ruined the atmosphere.

Zhang Jinyu suddenly sniffed: "The potatoes seem to be cooked."

As she said that, she pulled out a few burnt black balls from the fire.

"Hiss... It's so hot." Zhang Jinyu picked up a potato, tossed it back and forth with her left and right hands, and kept blowing to cool it down.

After waiting for it to not be so hot, she couldn't wait to unscrew a potato.

The burnt skin was unscrewed like a plastic cup lid, and the inside was yellow and golden, and steam was coming out.

"Sha... Sha... It's delicious!" Zhang Jinyu ate a mouthful of black without realizing it, and kept inviting Xiao Jian to try one.

"It's really fragrant." Xiao Jian also tasted it.

The potato was small, round, and tasted sweet and soft, with a full flavor.

In this doomsday, the maturity of these crops has become faster, but the taste has not decreased at all, but even better than before.

"Hehe..." Zhang Jinyu saw Xiao Jian eating happily, and unscrewed another one herself.

Because Xiao Jian ate very carefully, his face was not stained with too much black.

But when he saw that Zhang Jinyu was still unaware of the black on his mouth, he suddenly said seriously: "What's on your face?"

"Where?" Zhang Jinyu was stunned.

"This side... No, it's the other way around, it's on your right side... Yes, yes, yes, a little higher..."

Xiao Jian gave a serious command, and then Zhang Jinyu made a big mess of herself without realizing it.

"Wait, don't move!"

Xiao Jian suddenly came close to her, very close, and even stretched out his hand to pinch her chin.

"!!!"

Zhang Jinyu was shocked, slightly tilted her head, and her brain was completely in a state of shutdown.

"Here... Well, that's it." Xiao Jian pinched her chin with his left hand, and drew three horizontal and one vertical lines on her forehead with his right hand, forming a "king" character.

"Well, it's fine now." Xiao Jian nodded.

"What... what's fine?" Zhang Jinyu stuttered.

"The big cat is fine. If you don't believe me, look for yourself..." Xiao Jian stretched out his hand and took a mirror from his original body through the faith link, and then handed it to Zhang Jinyu.

Zhang Jinyu took the mirror in confusion, and then saw her big face.

"..."

"Ah————"

"Bang!"

Zhang Jinyu punched Xiao Jian in anger, and he fell down... Before falling, he was still holding her fist, and now Zhang Jinyu was also dragged to the ground.

"..."

"..."

Zhang Jinyu looked down at Xiao Jian, and Xiao Jian also looked up at Zhang Jinyu.

As the time of staring at each other became longer and longer, the air between the two began to change rapidly.

The original official atmosphere, as if colleagues and friends, was quickly swept away.

And this blank space was slowly brewing ambiguity.

"Jinyu!? Jinyu-where are you? The trial of Baimao is about to begin, where have you gone..."

Suddenly, Zhang Weidong's voice came from a distance.

"Bang..."

Xiao Jian's clone disappeared in an instant, and Zhang Jinyu wiped her face randomly, then quickly adjusted her expression.

"Jinyu... Jinyu is here... What's wrong with your face!?" Zhang Weidong looked at his granddaughter in shock, "How old are you and you're still eating roast potatoes here, and you've drawn a king for yourself... Oh my God! How can you get married like this!"

"What do you care!" Zhang Jinyu glared at Zhang Weidong, and then somehow couldn't help laughing again.

"Laugh! You only know how to laugh! Heartless crazy girl... Oh, no more! Wash your face quickly! The trial is about to begin! This is the first case after our legislation!"

Zhang Weidong looked at Zhang Jinyu who was laughing happily, and frowned: "Don't laugh! Be serious! The trial will start soon!"

"Okay, okay..."

...

In the small courtyard, Xiao Jian lay blankly on the sofa, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes.

And his hands on the armrest of the sofa were unconsciously clenched into fists and rubbed slightly, as if he was recalling something.

Full, smooth, and elastic.

How to describe it...

It's as heavy as a water balloon, as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and if you squeeze it a little harder, it's as elastic as a gripper.

And it's also furry, wet and soft...

No!

Xiao Jian suddenly woke up and found that it was Da Huang who was licking his hand!

"Ah... disgusting! You are not a dog, why are you licking me?" Xiao Jian shook the cat away in annoyance.

"Meow meow meow~?"

Da Huang landed lightly, and then came back shamelessly, using his head to rub Xiao Jian's trouser legs.

"Oh, I really owe you... What do you want to do now?" Xiao Jian picked up the cat and asked.

"Meowka meowka~"

Da Huang patted his hands up and down with his paws, and with that noble tone, it was obvious that he wanted to look at the computer.

After sending Shao You away, of course the equipment in his room was also sent over.

This of course included the device that converts driving force into electricity.

Without electricity, the computer would not light up, no wonder Da Huang was so anxious.

"I think you are still too idle, come out for a walk with me?" Xiao Jian shook the fat cat.

"Meow!"

Da Huang shook his head violently.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The power equipment can't be retrieved for the time being..." Xiao Jian shrugged, "Let's talk about it after Shao You completes the quarantine."

"..."

When Da Huang heard this, he immediately lost interest. After struggling to jump off Xiao Jian's hand, he ran away with [Eye of Peeping] and [Stone of Harmony] in his mouth.

...Entertainment has been downgraded.

Xiao Jian shook his head and chose to use [Fake Body] on the black-haired strong man.

...

In the windmill world without windmills, the raven suddenly flew out from behind the black-haired strong man.

"Meet the Lord God." After the black-haired man found out, he immediately turned around and wanted to pay his respects.

"Stop! Let's save the etiquette and prepare to find a room to receive the supplies..."

"I will obey the oracle."

The black-haired strong man immediately ran to the first floor and asked several survivors living on the first floor to vacate their houses.

I don't know if it was because the raven stood on his shoulder, or if the black-haired strong man, the bishop, had established enough prestige.

All in all, everything went smoothly, and the people who vacated the rooms had no complaints.

Originally, there were redundant rooms in this building, and now vacating two rooms would not cause too much conflict.

In the first room, Xiao Jian pinched out some stone "bookshelves" and placed various seeds in the grids of the bookshelves one by one, and marked them.

In the second room, there were potatoes, corn, and a large number of onions and cabbages.

These are the relatively abundant materials in the farm town recently... Others such as wheat and rice have just been planted, and in the future, even Xiao Jian and the fortress town will have potatoes and corn as their staple food.

When the black-haired strong man saw the potatoes, his eyes lit up... and when he saw the onions, his face was even more uncontrollable.

"Oh? You like onions so much?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Onion mashed potatoes are great!" The black-haired strong man gave a thumbs up and replied.

"As long as you like it..."
