Chapter 1708: Chapter 1708: Give It a Try

Because the information Liu Fufeng revealed was utterly shocking, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and He Bi were all taken aback, causing them to almost forget the pressing issue at hand.

After Ji You mentioned Old Yellow Bull, Chu Jiaojiao slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it—we still need to wake up Old Yellow Bull."

He Bi squinted, looked at the Old Yellow Bull above, and said, "The direction above us is the closest place to the Two-headed Bull’s head."

Ji You said, "I also plan to start from the spaceship’s deck."

He Bi heard this, nodded, and said, "I’ll go."

Using the Soul Device to fish for crayfish was He Bi’s responsibility, which Ji You did not oppose. Instead, she pondered and said, "Senior, I’ll go with you; two people can look out for each other."

He Bi replied, "Okay."

Then—

Ji You turned her head to Liu Fufeng and asked, "Fufeng, are you sure you don’t need this Soul Device?"

Hearing this, Liu Fufeng seriously shook his head and said, "I don’t need it."

Ji You nodded and turned to Chu Jiaojiao, asking, "Jiaojiao, are you sure you want to use this Soul Device?"

Chu Jiaojiao was somewhat conflicted. On one hand, this low-level Soul Device was of limited use to her, and she didn’t mind giving it up.

But, on the other hand, this was a creation of Empress Xia Man, and after 50 years, it itself was considered a miracle.

Therefore, this Soul Device was of great research value. If it were used up now, that would be too wasteful.

Chu Jiaojiao was very conflicted.

At this moment, Ji You said, "Jiaojiao, I’ll buy this Soul Device, and I’ll use another one instead."

Chu Jiaojiao froze: "You want to use it?"

Ji You replied with a smile: "I think this Soul Device is nice-looking and perfectly fits my vibe, so I want to try it myself."

Chu Jiaojiao immediately said, "Then I’ll give it to you."

Ji You heard this and smiled, "No need, I can afford 3 million credit points." No matter how poor she was, she wouldn’t take things for free.

Besides, she had already used Chu Jiaojiao’s Soul Device before.

Chu Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "This is our collective task, and it concerns everyone’s safety. The value of the Soul Devices consumed in battle should be shared equally by everyone."

Liu Fufeng and He Bi had no objections.

Ji You said, "The materials and treasures we collected along the way on the battlefield, and the weapons and equipment we consumed... Let’s share and allocate these once we pass through the Space Rift. Right now, there’s no need to worry about these issues, let’s overcome the immediate hurdle together."

Chu Jiaojiao: "Okay."

This issue was something everyone had discussed before, and arrangements were made. However... even if previous consumables were expensive, they weren’t scarce, unlike Soul Devices, which are very valuable. Now, Ji You, and the Soul Device provided by Chu Jiaojiao for fishing crayfish, have already been taken somewhere by extraterrestrial monsters—the one made by the Green Glaze Master...

All of them are expensive.

Previously, no one anticipated this situation, so there were no arrangements concerning this aspect.

However, after surviving life and death together for so long, everyone trusted each other profoundly. There was no need to fret over these matters.

Seeing Ji You’s interest in the Peach Blossom Soul, Chu Jiaojiao immediately wanted to pass it to her, but Ji You declined, saying, "Don’t give it to me yet. Keep it for me first."

She was genuinely interested in Empress Xia Man’s manufacturing methods and keen to learn, yet she feared the Soul Device might break once it was in her hands, so she hesitated to accept.

Chu Jiaojiao appeared puzzled, looking confused.

Ji You said, "I can’t hold it for now; help me keep it safe."

Chu Jiaojiao, hearing this, stopped speaking.

Then—

Everyone saw Ji You take out a Soul Device from the Space Button. It was a ring, a simple circular design.

Liu Fufeng, He Bi, and the others lifted their heads to look.

Ji You tightly grasped the ring and said, "This Soul Device was bought from Green Glaze Master, an exclusive design." It was a best friend version between her and Senior Shi Ya.

If the situation weren’t urgent and there wasn’t enough time to craft a new one, she wouldn’t use this Soul Device.

But—

Ji You gritted her teeth and said, "I’ll try it with Senior He Bi."

A trace of distress flashed across her face, indicating her deep regard for this Soul Device, a moment that He Bi caught precisely.

He Bi felt a heavy heart.

Only now did He Bi realize how impoverished he was, for instance, at this time, he couldn’t produce a single Soul Device.

And—

This ring seemed somewhat familiar to him.

It seemed—

He had seen it on Yaya’s hand.

What is this?

Just as He Bi was about to speak, Liu Fufeng suddenly said, "I have two Soul Devices here, one Intermediate and one High-level, take them to use."

After speaking.

Liu Fufeng took out the Soul Devices and handed them to Ji You.

Ji You opened her mouth in surprise: "How can you casually produce so many Soul Devices?"

Liu Fufeng replied, "Primarily because I’ve been the Crown Prince of the Empire for over a decade."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You could perceive the six Spiritual Threads in her Spiritual World wildly wagging their tails, clearly salivating over the two Soul Devices.

However, Ji You didn’t reach out to take them.

Liu Fufeng saw Ji You hesitating, and he thought for a moment, then handed the Soul Devices to He Bi with a solemn face, "Senior He Bi, the Soul Devices are entrusted to you."

He Bi pursed his lips, extended his hand to take them, "Since that’s the case, I’ll take them."

Liu Fufeng: "Mm."

Then—

Ji You stopped brooding. Since Liu Fufeng was willing to contribute, and as they were teammates and life-and-death comrades, there was no need for excessive fretting. With benefits, they would share together. Those with more strength would contribute strength, those with strong spiritual power would contribute spiritual power, and those with substantial financial resources would contribute financially.

Thus, Ji You immediately told Shen Changqing and others, "You four return quickly, I’ll take Senior He Bi out to try awakening the Two-headed Bull."

The four adapting to the environment inside the grid immediately returned.

Ji You and He Bi didn’t hesitate, promptly stepping out of the spaceship cabin door.

Piloting the Mecha, Ji You and He Bi followed a pre-set route, step by step, approaching Old Yellow Bull.

Above their heads, the blackened lump remained motionless, seemingly utterly dead.

Reaching the top of the grid cell, Ji You tried to sense the spiritual waves of Old Yellow Bull, finding them increasingly weak, immediately frowning: "Time is of the essence, its spiritual power has weakened significantly."

He Bi heard this and exclaimed, "Let me try first."

In his hand, he held two Soul Devices. One High-level, one Intermediate. After some thought, He Bi took both out.
