“No, no, no, I’m scared,” Zard said.
Qing Chen pondered, "The shroud is most likely related to life and death. Could it be a cloth that can bring people back to life? Wait, let's try wrapping that dead Kingdom member next to the Key Gate in it and see if he comes back to life after a night."
Without hesitation, the group rolled up the corpse.
Qingchen then looked at the acoustic guitar, the thermos, the aluminum lunchbox, and the brooch.
"Who can play the guitar? Come over and try playing a tune," Qing Chen looked around. The process of analyzing forbidden items was very complicated and troublesome. First, one had to start with the characteristics of the item itself.
Xiaoqi raised his hand: "Parents, let me give it a try. I learned guitar for a while specifically to pick up girls."
The mistress and her friends burst into laughter: "Did you manage to flirt with him?"
Xiaoqi shook her head: "No, the Porsche 911 is still the best. It's a pity that I haven't had any love since I bought the 911."
Xiaoqi picked up her guitar and found a place to sit down: "I'll try out the tone of this guitar first."
Zard leaned over to observe the changes in the acoustic guitar, while Xiaoqi casually strummed a few chords.
As soon as the sound began, Qingchen clearly felt a change in his emotions, which shifted with the changes in the chords.
Playing the D major I triad produces a sound wave that causes headaches, playing the E major triad produces a sound wave that calms the mind, playing the F major triad produces a sound wave that excites the mind, playing the B major triad produces a sound wave that makes the mind drowsy, and playing the A major triad produces a sound wave that makes the mind happy.
In just a few auditions, Qing Chen experienced an emotional journey, and even as an A-level candidate, his emotions fluctuated along with the auditions.
“Strange,” Qingchen said, “this thing can actually control emotions. If any celebrity had it, tens of thousands of people at his concert would go crazy for him. Xiaoqi, try playing a complete piece of music.”
"good."
As soon as Xiaoqi played a melody, Zard suddenly cried out and flipped backward, clutching his forehead and exclaiming, "It feels like I've been punched in the head!"
Qing Chen's eyes lit up: "It's another forbidden item related to combat."
Combat-related forbidden items are not common; you might find one in ten, so they were lucky!
Qing Chen looked at Xiao Qi's expectant gaze and said with a smile, "This one is yours."
Xiaoqi's eyes lit up: "Thank you, parents! May you have a long and peaceful life!"
Qingchen knew that ever since Xiao San obtained the forbidden ant queen, Xiao Qi had been working hard to perform well, afraid of falling behind.
However, in terms of importance, Xiaoqi has already been able to stand on her own at the parent-teacher meeting and has made great contributions.
If there are any extra forbidden items, they should indeed be given priority to these most trusted golden family members.
Qingchen held a brooch, a thermos, and an aluminum lunchbox in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know what these three things were for.
Let's not even talk about brooches.
This thermos and aluminum lunchbox look like the typical attire of an old-fashioned cadre: a thermos filled with red dates and goji berries in his left hand, and an aluminum lunchbox in his right hand as he goes to the cafeteria to get his food...
At this moment, Zheng Yuandong said, "It's about time. Let's return to Whale Island. Next, we'll launch a surprise attack on the overseas colonial base from Whale Island. We'll train and fight at the same time, eliminating all the overseas forces of the Kingdom and the Future Organization."
As he spoke, Ni Ergou took out a golden Eye of True Sight and opened another wooden door.
Two wooden doors were brought over. One was for exploiting bugs, and the other was for sending everyone back to Whale Island after exploiting the bugs. After all, most of the Purple Orchid Stars could only be used on Whale Island, and delaying them outside for even one more day would be a huge loss.
As the main force gradually entered the key gate...
Qing Chen looked at Shen Dai Yunluo and Shen Dai Kongyu: "You can't go back to Osaka, otherwise Shen Dai Yunxiu would also be exposed. I have already planned an evacuation route for you in City 20 of the Inner World, and I have reserved houses for you in City 10. Let's go to Whale Island together, where I can provide you with cultivation resources."
Kamishiro Unro raised an eyebrow: "Wait a minute, you've arranged everything in the inner world! This means you've been planning to trick me into betraying my family for a long time, and you've arranged everything perfectly."
Qing Chen said, "After the battle in Forbidden Land No. 002, the higher-ups of the Divine Generation already know that you came to help me. The reason they haven't taken action against you must be because they have a plan to possess you soon. So don't stay there any longer, go to City No. 10."
Kamishiro Yunra fell silent.
In fact, he already knew what the consequences would be for coming to be a protector this time, but he didn't expect it would implicate Kamishiro Sora.
Qing Chen said, "The resources on Whale Island are more than you can imagine. Go, the sooner you have enough power, the sooner you can overthrow that family you despise."
"And you?" asked Kamishiro Unra.
"I'll stay here to complete my life-or-death ordeal," Qingchen said with a smile. "My journey isn't over yet."
Unlike other knights who passively defend against harassers, Qingchen's approach is to first gather all the enemies who could potentially threaten him together and attack them in one go, and then calmly complete the life-or-death challenge.
Only in this way can one be single-minded.
However, Qingchen was unsure whether King still had any tricks up his sleeve at Everest Base Camp.
Chapter 741, Climbing Mount Everest
"Is he alive? Quick, check if that member of the kingdom in the shroud is alive!" Zard said excitedly. "But what if he really is alive? Should we kill him again?"
Ever since Qingchen wrapped the deceased kingdom members in shrouds, Zard has been checking the time from time to time, waiting for 24 hours to pass.
Da Yu said irritably, "If he were alive, he would have already started to move. He must have guessed the direction wrong. This thing can't bring someone back to life. In the Federation, there are two forbidden items that can be exchanged for a life, but there isn't a single forbidden item out of hundreds in the entire Federation that can revive someone. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws that cannot be reversed."
Qingchen squatted down and unwrapped the shroud; the corpse inside was gradually stiffening.
This shows that shrouds were not even suitable for preserving corpses.
He crouched down to examine the body, touching the wounds: "Wait, I remember clearly, when I found his body I examined the injuries. The body's neck bones had been crushed from behind, but now the neck bones are completely intact!"
Da Yu also squatted down to check: "Huh!"
Qing Chen pondered: "The corpse is continuing to decompose, but the bones are healing? There are two possibilities now. The first is that the shroud will turn him into a living dead, that is, a zombie. The second is... it can repair things that have been broken!"
Try it and you'll see.
He took a banknote from his wallet, tore it to shreds, and then wrapped all the pieces in a shroud.
However, before Qingchen put all the fragments into the shroud, he took off one corner.
An hour later, the banknote was restored, but the corner that Qingchen had taken was missing.
"It's confirmed. Its purpose is specifically to restore items, even broken fragments," Qingchen said thoughtfully.
Qingchen took out an outdoor windproof lighter and simply lit the US dollar bill, burning it to ashes, which he then wrapped in the shroud.
An hour later, the shroud was opened, and the banknotes reappeared intact.
Zard exclaimed, "If I were in the desert with no food or water, could I use this thing to... turn back what I've eaten, drunk, and excreted?"
Qingchen and Dayu watched him silently, neither of them saying a word.
Zard's voice trailed off: "I was just trying to learn how to exploit bugs like the boss..."
Yangyang sighed, "That was a good catch, don't let it happen again next time."
Da Yu calmly said, "This function seems a bit useless. Nowadays, the most valuable items in both worlds are forbidden items, and forbidden items cannot be damaged. If we're talking about maximizing profits, then it's about repairing precious jewelry, such as a broken bracelet worth over a hundred million. But we're not short of money, so there's no need to provide this kind of service to those socialites."
Qing Chen shook his head: "There are no useless taboos, only people who don't know how to use them."
Da Yu raised an eyebrow; he always felt that those words were mocking him…
Qing Chen suddenly said, "Da Yu, this forbidden item is for you."
"Huh?" Da Yu was stunned: "For me?"
He pointed at his own nose and said, "Qingchen, are you crazy? You're giving me this? It's a forbidden item!"
Who am I? Even after I've paid off my debts, I'll still be your enemy!
Da Yu practically shook Qing Chen's shoulder and said, "Brother, wake up! How could you send a forbidden item to the enemy?"
Qing Chen suddenly said, "This forbidden item can be used to save people."
Da Yu was stunned for a moment: "You mean, if someone's hands or feet are cut off, it can reattach the severed limbs?"
“That’s not all,” Qingchen shook his head, “You’ll find out later, but I hope we never have to use it.”
Da Yu turned his head away, feeling extremely conflicted. He had just finished paying off his old debts, and now he had incurred a new one. How long would he have to keep working like this?!
“I don’t want to,” Da Yu said.
Yangyang and Zard looked at the two people. One dared to give away even valuable forbidden items, while the other didn't even want forbidden items!
At this moment, Qingchen said, "This thing is for saving Zard. If he is targeted and glazed by a fire-type ability user, this thing can help him recover within an hour instead of waiting 14 days. You are also an expert, so you should understand how important it is for Zard to shorten the recovery period from 14 days to 1 hour. You carry a spatial ring with you, so you can save him at any time. If he dies, Xiaoyu will be sad."
This would be very cumbersome for Qingchen to carry, but Da Yu has a spatial ring, making it very convenient for him to carry.
Moreover, although Da Yu criticizes Zard every day, if you were to ask who in this world would spare no effort to save that lunatic, that person would definitely be Da Yu.
Qingchen continued, "You've spent more time with him than anyone else. Only if this forbidden item is with you will Zard be safe. So tell me if you're willing to save Zard."
Zard nodded: "Just tell me if you're willing to save me or not."
Da Yu glared at him irritably, then reluctantly took the shroud and said to Qing Chen, "I will find a forbidden item to return to you."
Seeing that he had taken it, Qing Chen immediately smiled and said, "No rush, no rush, return it slowly. Besides, you might soon realize that this is the most suitable forbidden item for you."
In this plan to raid the Kingdom's headquarters, Da Yu was one of the most crucial links. Without this clear-headed A-level expert leading the team, who knows what kind of trouble Zard would have caused.
In the future, Qingchen and his team will likely face many more battles, and Dayu will be an indispensable high-end combat force for them.
There are only so many A-level characters in the entire world of the watchtower, so of course we have to win over every one we can.
At this moment, Yangyang asked curiously, "According to your plan, you have already severely damaged the Kingdom and the Future. They will definitely focus on recuperation in the short term. So, do you still want to continue to complete the life-or-death challenge while you are injured? You can rest for a while and wait until your injuries are completely healed before proceeding."
Qing Chen shook his head: "No, we don't have that much time. In the inner world... we're still being hunted by demigods. We have to find every possible way to strengthen ourselves. Besides, I've been recovering for three days, so I'm much stronger than an ordinary person. I'm a knight, and knights always recover faster than others."
The crisis in the surface world has been resolved, but the crisis in the inner world has not.
However, Qingchen did not intend to follow the conventional approach and wait another month to go up the mountain.
He was going to take an unconventional path.
At this very moment, a transparent dragonfly hovers 400 meters in the air, gently flapping its wings and silently watching down below.
Strangely, even though it was staring at Qing Chen, it wasn't detected by the A-level sixth sense.
...
...
In the early hours of the morning, the Everest Base Camp was already bustling with activity. Qingchen, carrying his backpack, emerged from his tent alone and quietly made his way to the crowd.
At the entrance to Mount Everest, hundreds of Sherpas have gathered, and countless oxygen cylinders are placed on the open ground.
TINY, the largest expedition company at Everest Base Camp, raised funds from all expedition companies to pay for this year's Sherpa expedition.
The white leader stood still and solemnly handed the cash to the most respected Sherpa, 'Mingma Tenzin Sherpa'.
