Chapter 1698: A New Test

Chapter 1698: Chapter 1698: A New Test

Then—

Ji You raised a hand, touched his chin, and seriously contemplated the feasibility of this method.

At that moment—

He Bi suddenly said, "No, we can’t use the Soul Device for an experiment right now."

Ji You was taken aback.

The others also looked at He Bi, all showing puzzled expressions. He Bi pointed to the rows of grid chambers and said, "We’re trapped inside this grid chamber. If we use the Soul Device and accidentally attract some large creature, it will be too dangerous for us."

He Bi continued, "We don’t need to be too hasty; it wouldn’t hurt to wait a while."

"If we wait and confirm there’s no danger, are we still going to use the Soul Device for an experiment?" Yue Qiyuan asked directly. After he spoke, he looked up at the grid chambers outside and continued, "I think the most important thing for us to do right now is to figure out how to get out of this grid chamber, rather than looking for ways to attract uncontrollable monsters."

Evidently, Yue Qiyuan did not agree with using the Soul Device for experiments at this time.

Sheng Qingyan, who rarely shared opinions, squinted and said, "I also think it’s unnecessary. Since the environment inside this grid chamber is suitable for us to survive, why don’t we try another one?"

Yue Qiguang frowned and said, "The problem is we can’t go to another grid chamber right now. Didn’t we just try? We can’t open it."

Because it can’t be opened, they had to think of other ways and channels, like finding a group of crayfish or other things and information, to judge the current location and gather intelligence about this position.

Evidently, Yue Qiguang agreed with using the Soul Device for experiments.

The twins actually had opposite opinions on this issue.

Chu Jiaojiao, sitting in the spaceship’s main pilot seat, kept silent without expressing her opinion, and simply slapped her thigh, saying, "I follow Ji You’s decision."

So, everyone turned their heads to look at Ji You.

Ji You’s expression was calm, showing no rush to make a decision.

The entire deck was very quiet. Nobody urged Ji You; everyone patiently waited for his final decision.

After a brief silence, Ji You looked up at everyone and said, "I’ve decided. I’ll take the Green Glaze Master’s Soul Device and two other people with me to explore the grid chamber."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stared at Ji You.

Yue Qiguang said, "What? You mean you’re going to explore and take the Soul Device with you?"

What is this?

Isn’t this a ’have your cake and eat it too’ scenario?

Seeing that everyone looked eager, especially Senior He Bi, who seemed disapproving, Ji You slightly frowned and stopped him, saying, "Senior He Bi, please wait and let me finish."

He Bi patiently waited.

Ji You said, "You stay behind on the spaceship."

"What?" He Bi seemed slightly displeased and said, "I just upgraded my physical strength and combat power. It’s safer if you take me with you."

Ji You smiled and said, "Exactly, because your combat power has increased, I trust you with the spaceship."

He Bi: "???"

What does that mean?

He didn’t quite understand.

Ji You said, "You will stay alone on the spaceship, while we all go down."

He Bi: "?!!"

The others also widened their eyes.

Seeing everyone’s expression as if they were about to swallow a whole egg, Ji You’s expression remained calm, speaking clearly and understandably, "Currently, our situation is generally safe. While we still have some time, I believe everyone needs to leave the spaceship and go into the grid chamber at least once."

He Bi, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiguang brought back grid chamber air twice, and tests showed it was harmless to humans.

But—

What if it’s not suitable for everyone? If we don’t let everyone adapt in advance, it might be problematic if someone is unaccustomed later.

Ji You continued, "How about this, we don’t all have to go down at once. We can go in batches. The first batch will be me, Chu Jiaojiao, and Liu Fufeng."

Originally, Ji You intended to take Yue Qiyuan, but considering Liu Fufeng’s weak physical strength, it would be better to pair him with Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao. One has strong spiritual power, and the other has strong physical strength, perfect for looking after Liu Fufeng.

Upon hearing his name, Liu Fufeng widened his eyes in genuine surprise. His beautiful eyes flashed a hint of confusion and disbelief. He thought no one would willingly lead him, being a drag...

He had always been the one falling behind.

Those who knew his identity approached him with different motives.

Those who didn’t know considered him weak and didn’t play with him...

Only Ji You and those around him knew his identity but treated him just as a person.

A—

Regular person.

With this thought, a faint smile appeared on Liu Fufeng’s beautiful, delicate face, bringing a hint of delight.

Then.

Liu Fufeng raised his head and said seriously to Ji You, "Ji You, I’m willing to follow you..."

Ji You’s hand trembled, "Huh?"

Why did he use such a hair-raising tone to say that? It almost made Ji You think Liu Fufeng was proposing marriage...

Liu Fufeng realized something, slightly embarrassed, and added softly, "Also willing to follow Chu Jiaojiao."

That’s more like it. Ji You nodded and looked at the others, "The second batch will be Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiguang, with two experienced leading two less experienced. Any issues?"

Yue Qiguang and Sheng Qingyan had already been outside once, so having them lead Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan would slightly reduce the risks.

The four nodded, saying, "No problem."

"Got it."

"Okay."

Ji You then turned to He Bi, "Senior, can you control the entire spaceship on your own?"

Underestimating who?

Did his rank and combat strength ranking first in the year and ninth at United University come from nothing? He Bi lifted an eyelid, glanced at Ji You, and said, "I can."

Ji You smiled, "Good, let’s tentatively decide on this. Once we’ve all gone out in turns, we’ll arrange another group to take the Soul Device out."

Soon.

Everyone took their places.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and Liu Fufeng geared up to go. As the hatch opened, they leaped into the grid chamber.

All three piloted their Mechas. The grid chamber wasn’t spacious, and within just a short minute, they could tour the entire chamber.
