Survival in Sequences: Eighteen Years Old, Slaying Monsters Like Horses

Chapter 20 The Strange Object – The Tour Guide Flag

"Please take good care of me!" However, his gaze lingered on Xu Si.

If possible, he would like to share a car with his friend Dao Ge, but Dao Ge's car doesn't seem to be big enough for two people.

Everyone nodded amicably and began to inventory the supplies.

"We've got quite a bit of gasoline, enough for the convoy for a while. We also have some food, drinking water, and medicine, but not a particularly abundant amount. In addition, we found something rather special in Qin Hong's private collection."

He gestured to the old butler, who then took out a small box and opened it.

The box itself wasn't anything special. When the lid was opened, it was lined with soft black velvet—that damn sense of ceremony.

However, the things inside were definitely not ordinary objects.

Inside the box was a flag about the size of a palm, with a small teddy bear hanging on it.

"This is something our tour guide had. If you pour supernatural power into it, it will be marked by a flag, and then you can sense the flag's location no matter where you are!" Xiao Luo explained.

"Everyone, please take a look!" Fu Xiaojian said.

Xu Si also had a guess at this point that this should be the "strange object" that Fu Xiaojian mentioned.

Fu Xiaojian picked up the palm-sized flag with a teddy bear on it and handed it to Su Su, who was standing next to him.

Su Su took it; it felt slightly heavy and cool to the touch. She tried to channel a trace of the power of the Fist Servant sequence into it.

The little bear on the flag seemed to light up slightly for a moment before returning to normal.

Su Su closed her eyes, then opened them a moment later, a hint of surprise on her cool face: "I can feel it, a very clear sense of direction, it's right in my hand, but there's a feeling of... being locked on."

Tashan, curious, also tried it out. He crouched down with his massive body and carefully pinched the flag with his thick fingers. The power of the Stoneborn surged into it, and the teddy bear on the flag even swayed slightly. "Hey, interesting, it's like having a compass."

When it was Xu Si's turn, he took the flag, and the moment he held it, the item information flooded into his mind.

[Strange object detected: tour guide flag]

[Ranking of Oddities: 4396]

【Characteristic: Marker】

Description: Although the tour guide's flag may not find every lost child, every lost child will eventually return to the tour guide's flag.

[The cost: Be careful, you might develop a terrible sense of direction]

[Comment: A boon for lost children, but be careful, it could also guide enemies.]

Jiao Jiao also picked it up and looked at it, but found nothing. It was just an ordinary flag. She even poked the little bear's nose, but there was no reaction. Undeterred, she waited for everyone to distribute the supplies.

"As you all probably know, these are strange objects, or more accurately, 'miracle objects' or 'objects of miracles.' Each one possesses extraordinary power, but each comes at a price!"

"This rare item is ranked low, but its abilities are quite good, and the price is acceptable! I'll offer thirty liters of gasoline in exchange for your share!" Fu Xiaojian said.

This unusual item is perfect for a leader, because the cost of being directionally challenged is just enough to offset their ability to lead the way.

After all, Fu Xiaojian doesn't rely on his eyes to find his way; he relies on his sense of danger through his sequence to navigate. So being bad at directions has virtually no impact on him.

Su Su, Ta Shan, and Xu Si decided to give up after thinking about it.

This tour guide flag can indeed play its greatest role in Fu Xiaojian's hands. If they get separated or fall behind, they can quickly regroup according to the guidance of the tour guide flag, so that they don't lose their sense of direction.

As for Xiao Luo, he just joined, and he wasn't included in this distribution of supplies.

Xu Si wasn't very interested in this strange object.

He has many secrets, and having people know his exact location at any time would be a burden to him.

Moreover, he has a "star anchor" to locate his blood sun, giving him an excellent sense of direction. Being directionally challenged might actually become a burden for him.

But he was thinking about something else entirely: could he upgrade his greatsword into a rare artifact?

Others may not have Brother Tong, but he does!

As for how to upgrade, you'll probably have to work on the weird drops!

The supernatural is a wonderful thing.

"I have no objection," Xu Si stated.

Su Su and Ta Shan nodded in agreement.

One of them relies on absolute speed and strength, and the other on unparalleled defense; neither has much need for this kind of auxiliary artifact.

Fu Xiaojian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you all. I'll have the gasoline delivered to your cars later. Thirty liters of gasoline for one rare item, it's a small profit."

The subsequent distribution of supplies was much simpler.

Xu Si received a barrel of gasoline and a large barrel of drinking water, as well as some canned goods and compressed biscuits that were easy to store.

He got a small portion of the two boxes of tissues.

"I'll bring you gasoline and this bucket of water in my pickup truck, how about you give me ten packs of tissues in return?"

The little girl was so enthusiastic about distributing supplies today because of the two boxes of tissues that Xu Si had collected.

Although her aunt also received some, it would definitely be more expensive for two people to use than for one, especially since both of them were girls.

"Not very good!"

"Huh? How can you fit all that in your little electric scooter? I don't want your food, and you're still reluctant to use up your tissues?" the little girl said angrily.

If he hadn't saved her life, she wouldn't have kindly helped carry things. She thought it was a win-win situation, but this person actually disagreed.

The little girl's panda puffed up in anger.

"Who says I can't carry it?" Xu Si smiled mysteriously, pointing to the electric scooter that was being quietly upgraded and hidden under the curtains.

You'll find out soon enough.

Jiao Jiao looked suspiciously at the bulging curtains, then at Xu Si, and pouted, "You'd better not regret this... You'll have to beg me for at least five more packs later. Fine, fine, since you saved me, I'll just add three more packs."

Xu Si definitely won't change.

He had long since had enough of the painful experience of being rubbed with stones, leaves, and clods of dirt; it was enough to wear away even hemorrhoids.

Xu Si simply smiled enigmatically and ignored the little girl's mutterings.

He is now more concerned about the upgrade progress of the "Super Knife".

Looking at the countdown in his mind, he suddenly wondered if the knife could be upgraded into a rare item if it kept upgrading.

This is unbelievable! There's just too much to do, and we still don't have enough purification points.

After the supplies were distributed, everyone went off to treat their injuries and prepare dinner.

Xu Si returned to his electric scooter, ate some cookies, and did not cook. Instead, he quietly waited for the dramatic change in Super Knife.

It's like a novice driver owning their first new car.

The curtains added a touch of ceremony to Xiaodao's style.

As night fell completely, the campfire in the center of the camp crackled, illuminating the survivors' tired and numb faces.

Fu Xiaojian was arranging the management of the passengers on the bus and also trying to reassure them.

These survivors, who had endured more than ten days of torment, certainly needed emotional support, and Fu Xiaojian was best suited for that role.
