Chapter 267 Jin Suisui is the Breakthrough Point
Lu Youyou moved the small umbrella to a different position, just enough to shield Xiao Cui from the fine raindrops.
Xiao Cui slowly raised her head, her eyes red and blurry with tears.
At this moment, her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see Lu Youyou's appearance clearly at all; she could only make out a general outline.
She blinked, and four or five tears rolled down her cheeks at the same time, her vision clearing.
She didn't see Lu Youyou's fear and disgust towards her, only a barely perceptible pity.
"Sister, don't blame me for killing your kind; he wanted to kill me."
Lu Youyou sighed softly: "Everyone is just trying to survive, so no one can blame anyone else. If you have to blame someone, blame the person who died for not being strong enough."
She was speaking to Xiao Cui, but also reminding herself that she should never be complacent and should always maintain a desire to become stronger.
When you are weaker, your life is in the hands of others.
Xiao Cui was still sobbing softly, rain dripping from her cotton-padded coat. She shivered from the cold as the wind blew.
Lu Youyou sighed again, took four long wooden planks out of her backpack, glued them to the four corners of the car with strong adhesive, and then covered them with a layer of plastic sheeting.
A simple rain shelter is now complete.
Once Xiao Cui leaves, disassembly will be easier.
"Sister, thank you. I will definitely repay you."
Lu Youyou didn't want to say much, she just smiled and nodded.
The situation is constantly changing, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
What she's doing now isn't seeking Xiao Cui's promise, but simply trying to put her mind at ease.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, her conscience was stirring.
On the one hand, she was wary of Xiao Cui, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for Xiao Cui.
She couldn't stand by and watch a thin, miserable girl cry in the rain, even if that girl was a monster.
Because it reminds her of her past self.
As a child, I couldn't save myself, so as an adult, I try to make up for it by helping other children.
Let's just say she's helping her younger self.
"Sister, what should I do about the gold coin merchant? Will I never win his favor?"
"No matter what it takes, I must complete this task."
Lu Youyou found the chat interface with the gossip girl, copied the story she had edited in advance, and sent it over.
[Gossip Girl: Wow! This is so explosive! That guy who's been dating eight women at once is awful! Every story you tell me makes me so angry. By the way, aren't you in a dungeon? How come you have time to chat with me?]
[Lu Youyou: I want to ask you something. Do you know why the gold coin merchant dislikes Xiao Cui?]
[Gossip Girl: Who is Xiao Cui?]
[Lu Youyou: A minor monster in a dungeon.]
[Gossip Girl: Oh, judging from the name, it must be a child? If it is a child, the gold coin merchant certainly doesn't like it, but it's because he likes it too much that he's become disliked.]
[Lu Youyou: What happened to the gold coin merchant?]
[Gossip Girl: Anyway, I'm bored right now, so I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else, okay?]
[Gossip Girl: There are conditions for all low-level monsters to advance to high-level monsters. When the Gold Merchant was still a low-level monster, he produced more gold coins than other members of his clan. So his clansmen happily reported to their elders, hoping that the Gold Merchant could be promoted to a high-level monster.]
[Lu Youyou: Gold coin merchants have clans? I thought all NPCs were humans who stayed in dungeons and turned into humans.]
[Gossip Girl: The root cause is humanity, but humans from different planets entered the survival world at different times. The earlier the group of humans entered, the more likely they were to breed monster families after being abandoned by adults. Don't interrupt, I have something important to say.]
[Gossip Girl: The condition given by the adults is that the Gold Merchant clan can only become a high-level monster when there is only one person left. Otherwise, given the Gold Merchant's social skills, he will surpass all other monsters.]
[Gossip Girl: I'm too lazy to go into the details of what happened in between, but the ending was that the entire Gold Merchant clan disbanded. From his parents to his siblings, they scattered to various places and never contacted him again. He must have harbored resentment, and from then on, he especially disliked children and the elderly.]
[Gossip Girl: Oh, and here's a bonus for you. Do you know why he likes collecting weird and unusual things?]
[Lu Youyou: Why?]
[Gossip Girl: Because his body incorporates snake genes, giving him a keen sense of smell, he wants to detect the scent of his people from the items he brought back from the dungeon he can't access.]
[Lu Youyou: Do you know where his people are?]
[Gossip Girl: I don't know. He has so many friends and he can't find them, so I certainly can't. Okay, I'm going to sleep now. Let's talk again next time.]
Lu Youyou looked at the chat history, repeatedly reviewing the information provided by the gossipy girl.
The gold coin merchant's primary interest wasn't in rare items; his real aim was to find the whereabouts of his people.
Suddenly, she thought of something. "Xiao Cui, have you ever heard of anyone here who can make gold coins that also have snake-like features?"
Xiao Cui closed her eyes and thought for a moment, her eyeballs trembling beneath her eyelids.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes: "I remember now! Jin Suisui can make gold coins, and I once saw her snake tail when I went down the mountain."
Lu Youyou was pleasantly surprised: "Where does Jin Suisui live? Take me to find her. As long as I have her, the gold coin merchant will increase his favorability towards you."
"It's right down the mountain where my mom and Aunt Zhu Nu live."
"The Bamboo Girl is your mother? Then what about the Lark..."
Xiao Cui, realizing she couldn't hide it any longer and trusting Lu Youyou, confessed.
“My mother once merged with bamboo to grow unusual bamboo shoots. Aunt Bailing is a lark, not my mother.”
Lu Youyou was only surprised for a few seconds before realizing that there were already clues.
Xiao Cui's pendant around her neck is in the shape of a bamboo, her silver bracelet on her wrist also has a bamboo pattern, and even her hair ornaments are made of tender green bamboo.
But none of that matters anymore; what matters is finding Jin Suisui.
Without a special teleportation card, they can't teleport directly to the monsters; they have to drive around to find them.
"Do you know the way? Take me to Jin Suisui."
"I know a shortcut; we'll find Jin Suisui soon!"
Knowing that the mission's progress might change, Xiao Cui spoke loudly about the route.
But what followed was immense sorrow. With her back to Lu Youyou, she shrugged and wiped away tears.
Lu Youyou pretended not to see it, but silently noted down the route and told the navigation.
An hour later, Lu Youyou arrived at Jin Suisui's home at the foot of the mountain.
The bamboo house collapsed, and the bloodstains on the ground were diluted by the rain and sealed by ice.
