Chapter 1100 - 1200: Like Taking a Dump, Got Pushed Out?
"Huh? Me?" Su Malie pointed at herself, uncertain, and asked again.
These days, all she did was eat and sleep, losing track of day and night. She watched shows and played video games endlessly...
While the phones of others ran out of battery, and there was no solar power in this gloomy place, electricity became a rare luxury that no one mentioned. But for Su Malie, she could still watch shows and play games, all thanks to Jing Shu.
If it had been a few years ago, Su Malie would have surely disliked this place for being dirty, broken, and boring. But after running around for work, striving tirelessly to meet KPIs, she now found these decadent days surprisingly delightful.
So, being asked so suddenly, she was at a loss.
Su Malie, who was considered nothing but a waste, what could she possibly do?
Jing Shu nodded, looking hopefully at Su Malie, "Yes, don’t think about it, just answer instinctively. Where do you think the exit is? How do you think we should dig? Or just say whatever comes to your mind."
Su Malie pondered.
Jing Shu continued to encourage her, "Look at Mary, you’re hanging around all the time here, isn’t it a bit boring? Don’t you also feel like going out? So isn’t it about time for us to go out?"
Upon hearing this, Su Malie shook her head, "I don’t really want to go out. I find this place quite interesting, plus, the food you gave me, Jing Shu, is delicious. If there’s no rush, another month here would be perfect..." Before she could finish her sentence, Jing Shu covered her mouth.
"Stop jinxing it with your crow’s mouth!"
Jing Shu laughed, "Come on, admit you’ve had enough fun. I was thinking, the grapes in the orchard are ripe, the watermelons, the lychees, the cherries too, isn’t it time to go back to eat them?"
Su Malie started to drool a little. Although Jing Shu’s various snacks were delicious, like spicy rabbit jerky, beef jerky, fish jerky, and even afternoon tea with milk tea paired with taro balls and sweet soft mochi...
But those fruits were waiting for her!
Su Malie nodded firmly, "I’ve really had enough of staying here. We indeed should go back. Let me think... Hmm, I keep feeling that digging like this will never reach the end. Instead of wasting time here, we should research Mr. Xie and the pond behind him more. I have a strong feeling the switch is on him."
Jing Shu snapped her fingers.
"Alright, I know what to do next."
Not long after, Xie Jian Country was playing chess on his iPad when Jing Shu came over with a group of people in tow.
Upon hearing their intention, Xie Jian Country transformed his slime into a finger and pointed at himself, "Me? You’re saying I’m the key to opening the door out?"
"How am I supposed to know I can open the door?"
"Open sesame, open elephant, open sesame!"
Xie Jian Country then stopped playing his game and spent a good while trying everything, from his mind to his willpower.
His voice boomed throughout the pitch-black slime pool, he even hoisted himself high up, bouncing everywhere, hoping to trigger some mechanism.
After fiddling for a long time, there was no movement at all.
Yang Yang coughed, "How about we split up into two groups? Jing Shu, you study Mr. Xie. We’ll go out and dig some pits?"
Alright then, what else could be done. So the group left again, leaving only a few people in the pool.
Su Malie was exhausted, unsure if it was night or day, but tired, so she gave Jing Shu a nod and went to sleep in the train carriage of the Hulk. Before sleeping, she thoughtfully said:
"Don’t worry, I have a hunch, perhaps when I wake up, we’ll be out."
"Well, I’ll take your word for it."
Jing Shu and Xie Jian Country stared at each other wide-eyed.
Xie Jian Country coughed, "Young lady, how do you plan to study me? Just say it."
Jing Shu pointed at the slime in the pond, "Open a path for me. I want to see what’s at the bottom of the pool."
Xie Jian Country’s face turned red before saying, "This, I can’t do. Although the slime here is mine, I can’t control it to do such things. However, I can have the slime envelop you and send you to the bottom, but you won’t have any air there."
"That works for me, I have an oxygen mask. I’ll put a rope in the pool, if I get swept away by something, remember to pull me up."
After discussing with Xie Jian Country, Jing Shu pretended to get something from the Hulk’s body, but actually took out a set of diving oxygen equipment from the Magic Cube Space. After putting it on, she jumped into the energy pool.
The entire pool was a single entity, and she could feel Xie Jian Country pushing her downward in the pool.
The further she descended, the greater the pressure, Jing Shu felt immense power closing in all around her—a good thing she wore the diving suit.
But—
Wait a minute.
When she descended dozens of meters, Jing Shu sensed something was wrong. By the time she reached the bottom, her Magic Cube Space started to frantically absorb the sticky, almost crystalline energy blocks at the bottom.
Previously, Jing Shu had filled the Magic Cube Space with black energy to upgrade it, and she felt the Magic Cube Space was almost overflowing, reaching its energy limit.
So, why was it crazily absorbing again at the bottom? Could it be something was off with the energy here?
Oh well, whatever may be wrong, Jing Shu sensed her Magic Cube Space was nearing an upgrade. She couldn’t worry about anything else and quickly joined in, absorbing energy like a vortex, drawing in all the dense and sticky energy around her.
Xie Jian Country: "??" Suddenly feeling dizzy and unwell, as if an important blood component in his body was being drained by a parasite.
"No, it feels like I’m dying. Gotta get this thing out."
And at that very moment—
Jing Shu sensed the dark energy of the pool move, like it was annoyed by her energy absorption, and suddenly kicked her out. Jing Shu felt like a squeezed-out fecal clump, plopping down and getting expelled.
"Phew, phew, phew!" Long-lost fresh air flooded in.
