Qin Siyang calmly brought out materials of not-so-valuable situations.
A Tier-4 God Hunting tool, considered a fairly reasonable price.
Neither too little nor so much that it would make people suspicious.
Lu Daoxing was slightly startled, then caught on to Qin Siyang's meaning, and laughed loudly, "Little Qin, those materials of yours, I'm afraid, can't even compare to one of my family banquets."
"Try my wife's cooking."
Qin Siyang picked up a fried lotus root sandwich and took a bite. His eyes lit up.
"Aunt Yang, this cooking is absolutely amazing! Even better than what restaurants make."
Qin Siyang raised his thumbs up again and again.
This wasn't flattery.
Yang Dan's cooking skills were indeed excellent. This lotus root sandwich carried with it the taste of his previous life.
Hearing this, Yang Dan laughed so widely her mouth couldn't close, "If you like it, eat more. If you want it again later, just come to the house, Aunt will make it for you."
"Great! Thank you, Aunt Yang!"
Because of Qin Siyang's perfectly timed liveliness and the way he helped Lu Daoxing smooth things over, Yang Dan's complexion visibly improved.
Between her smiles, Qin Siyang could faintly see the style and vigor she once had.
He couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the apocalypse striking, her being paired with Lu Daoxing, this garlic-nosed man, was more than enough.
No wonder Lu Daoxing felt he was lucky.
This family banquet ended amid a lively and harmonious atmosphere.
After dinner, and after chatting a bit more about some fun topics, Qin Siyang stood up to leave.
"Come often in the future!"
"Definitely! Goodbye, Aunt Yang!"
Lu Daoxing grabbed his coat, "Alright, I'll send Little Qin back to school, then come back."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"Relax, I haven't been drinking, what's there to be afraid of?"
Lu Daoxing went downstairs with Qin Siyang, grinning like a blooming trumpet flower.
"Little Qin, who would've thought, you're so tactful and considerate when you talk."
"Of course. Professor Lu, go ask around. When have I, Qin Siyang, ever dropped the ball in handling situations?"
"Alright, thanks! Let's head to the lab first, I'll teach you the Drill Cabin."
"Drill Cabin?"
"It's the Tier-4 God Hunting tool for you to use for underground movement."
"I thought it'd be another capsule cabin."
"Capsule Cabin is something I later researched and made myself. Compared to the Drill Cabin, Capsule Cabin has no active attack ability, but it has much stronger extensibility, can be compatible with other God Hunting tools, and suits me better.
"For example, the Tier-4 shell that blasted Hu Yunsheng last time. That was temporarily installed on the Capsule Cabin and fired as an attachment."
"So that's how it is."
"Talking about it doesn't mean much. I'll give you a live demonstration."
"Great!"
The two arrived at Miracle Building.
Lu Daoxing took off a ring and threw it on the ground, and it instantly transformed into a drill-shaped God Hunting tool.
"Come in."
"Okay."
Qin Siyang sat inside the Drill Cabin.
This Drill Cabin, like the Capsule Cabin, had two rows of eight seats, very spacious.
Qin Siyang sat in the co-pilot seat, watching the Drill Cabin quickly sink into the ground, darkness closing in all around.
Lu Daoxing switched on the internal lights, then began his explanation.
"I originally wanted to give you a Capsule Cabin, but Capsule Cabins involve my most secret research techniques, which can't be leaked."
"Considering that when you leave the Safe Zone, it's likely you won't be alone. You might have to take others with you. I'm worried they might leak the technology. So, I'm giving you this Drill Cabin instead."
"Most of the technology in the Drill Cabin is no longer my most secret research, nor my core work, so even if someone copies it, it doesn't matter."
Qin Siyang thought for a moment. He really would have to take Hu Chan with him.
And later, he might use it as transport for others too.
He nodded, "Professor Lu, you make sense. I really might not be using it just by myself."
"This Drill Cabin also has offensive capability. Even if you just ram, the drill can pierce a mid-tier god.
"Moreover, its speed is faster than the Capsule Cabin."
"So for you, its life-saving effect is greater."
Qin Siyang thought, then asked, "Then if I ram it into a Corrosive Black Centipede, can it pierce through?"
"Of course—", Lu Daoxing almost instinctively wanted to brag, saying "no problem."
After all, Corrosive Black Centipedes were rare mid-tier gods, hardly ever encountered.
But then he suddenly remembered. Qin Siyang had already killed one.
So he had to be honest.
He changed his words, "…Of course not. The carapace of a Corrosive Black Centipede is extremely hard. My Drill Cabin isn't purely an attack weapon; the attack is just an auxiliary function. At best, it could hold its own against a Corrosive Black Centipede."
"Then what about ramming a Lava Crocodile? Could it pierce through?"
"Lava Crocodile? That thing's hide is thick as iron. Even Tier-4 shells can't blast through it."
Qin Siyang curled his lip, "Didn't you say it could smash mid-tier gods?"
"Nonsense! The ones you mentioned, the Corrosive Black Centipede and the Lava Crocodile, are famous for their thick armor and toughness. Of course they can't be smashed."
"But other ones, like Phantom Egrets, Thunder Snow Wolves, those are no problem at all."
"Professor Lu, the two mid-tier gods you listed, even without this Drill Cabin, I can kill them."
Lu Daoxing's face flushed red, "Anyway, my Drill Cabin's ability is just like this! Nothing more! Just say, do you want it or not!"
"Of course, I want it."
Qin Siyang smoothed it over, not picking faults anymore.
A Tier-4 God Hunting tool, of course he had to want it.
Lu Daoxing snorted twice, then explained the dashboard and how to drive it.
"This Drill Cabin's fuel is Sequence Potions. Normally, one hundred bottles can run a thousand kilometers."
'One hundred bottles?'
That was only about a thousand God Hunting points, not too much.
After Lu Daoxing finished explaining, Qin Siyang tried driving it and found it really simple.
Even underground, where directions couldn't be distinguished, it didn't matter. The dashboard had navigation systems researched by Chang Tianxiang.
It could tell him his exact position.
Qin Siyang was utterly fond of the Drill Cabin, and while driving, his mouth didn't stop.
After a half-hour test drive, Lu Daoxing yawned.
"If there are no more questions, I'll head home first."
"Alright, thank you, Professor Lu."
Lu Daoxing waved a hand, drove away, and went home.
Qin Siyang put away the Drill Cabin, turned it back into a ring, and wore it on his hand.
Then he returned to the guesthouse.
As soon as he entered, he saw Li Tianming, freshly showered and about to go to bed.
"Old Li, give me back five hundred bottles of Sequence Potion from the stash I gave you."
Li Tianming immediately pulled out a first-rank storage box from his backpack and tossed it to Qin Siyang, "Take it yourself. What do you need so much for?"
"Professor Lu gave me a Drill Cabin. Its fuel is Sequence Potions."
Li Tianming froze, "You're heading out of the Safe Zone again?"
"Mm."
"What? You just came back a few days ago. Can't you rest a bit? You're acting like some suicide squad every day."
"Time waits for no one. If I'm one step slower here, the enemy is one step faster there."
"Old Li, you know how many people I've pissed off. I can't just sit in the Safe Zone and wait for death, can I?"
Li Tianming sighed.
He got up, rummaged through his backpack, and tossed a vial of potion to Qin Siyang.
"What's this?"
"Went back to the lab today and just managed to make this. Apply it on your Fangtian Halberd. When it pierces a god, it'll disrupt their consciousness, with a hallucinogenic effect."
"I probably won't be able to head out of the Safe Zone to fetch you anymore. Hopefully, this can help you a little."
After saying that, Li Tianming dove under the blanket.
