I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

The waiting time was agonizing; Lu Youyou felt that one hour felt longer than a day.

After one hour.

Lu Youyou couldn't wait to turn on the DIY machine, and three small bottles of black reagent were displayed on the screen.

A line of black text slowly floated out.

Congratulations on creating the enhanced version of Venom!

[Enhanced Venom x3: Paralyzes the target for 30 seconds.]

[Friendly reminder: Your bottle is not a Venom-specific bottle. Please use the enhanced Venom within one hour, otherwise the effect will decrease.]

Before Lu Youyou could even feel happy, she saw the 1-hour countdown on the enhanced version of Venom.

Use within 1 hour!

Where can she find the enemy?

Suddenly, Lu Youyou remembered the blueprints for making paralysis bullets.

Making paralysis bullets requires plastic and venom. Enhanced venom is also venom, so it should be possible to make them.

Open the crafting table, select the Paralysis Bullet crafting blueprint, and you'll find the Enhanced Venom version is available.

Selecting the quantity "3" and clicking "Make," Lu Youyou finally felt relieved.

Now there's no need to worry about the enhanced venom's effects dissipating.

She just didn't know what these reagents were. If she knew, she could find a way to collect more, and then she wouldn't have to worry about running out of paralysis grenades.

[Crafting task complete.]

Seeing the notification on the screen, Lu Youyou tapped into the backpack slot.

[Enhanced Paralysis Grenade *3: Release within ten seconds of pulling the fuse. Upon impact with the target, all living objects within a 1-meter radius of the target will be paralyzed for 30 seconds.]

After reading the introduction of the supplies, Lu Youyou couldn't help but cheer.

This is simply awesome!

The paralysis bullet can only paralyze one character, and the paralysis lasts for 10 seconds.

The enhanced version of the paralyzing bullet can cause mass paralysis, and the paralysis time has been extended to 30 seconds.

"squeak--"

The car suddenly stopped, and Lu Youyou's body lurched forward.

Fortunately, she held onto the sofa tightly, which prevented her from falling.

[Monster merchant ahead; vehicle cannot proceed.]

After the navigation finished speaking, Lu Youyou stared at the monster merchant blocking her way.

It wore a large black hat and a long black robe.

Its face and body were completely covered, leaving only a pair of swollen chicken feet exposed.

Standing on the scorching asphalt road, there was no reaction.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared out of thin air next to the monster merchant.

[Monster Merchant: It will not attack players unless provoked. It has some resources that players can choose to trade with.]

Lu Youyou put on a sun-protective shirt, took cooling patches and ice packs, got out of the car, and Xiao Hei followed closely behind.

"Hello," Lu Youyou greeted him first.

The monster merchant, who had been pacing back and forth on both sides of the road, stopped when he heard Lu Youyou's voice.

"Hello, would you like something?"

The monster merchant's voice was indistinguishable from a human's, which surprised Lu Youyou, but she showed no sign of it on her face.

"What do you have here?"

"look by youself."

With a wave of his hand, the monster merchant conjured a screen in the void, displaying images, names, and descriptions of the products.

There were very few items, only five in total, and two of them had "sold out" signs on their images.

Lu Youyou looked at the three remaining unsold items.

[Ginger and Jujube Tea*1: It has a very good relieving effect on menstrual cramps caused by cold uterus.]

[Swamp Monster's Eyeball *1: Freshly picked, a versatile fusion agent for experiments.]

[Two venomous fangs from a wolf monster: harvested after death; a universal fusion agent for experiments.]

Aside from the first ginger and jujube tea, Lu Youyou intuitively felt that the latter two would be useful.

"How much for the swamp monster's eyeballs and the wolf monster's fangs?"

Hearing Lu Youyou's voice, the monster merchant lazily asked, "How many do you want?"

"One eyeball, two venomous fangs."

"3 gold coins."

"What gold coins?"

"You don't want to pay?"

The monster merchant let out an angry growl, instantly shut down the screen, and stormed off.

"Don't go, what are gold coins? Where can I exchange them? Can I exchange them with you?"

"No, I only accept gold coins, I don't exchange them for gold coins."

"Wait a moment, let me think of something, okay?"

The monster merchant said reluctantly, "Alright, I'll wait for you, but you can't lie to me."

Lu Youyou took a deep breath, turned on her watch, and was about to collect gold coins on the public screen when she received a message from the team group.

[Zhang Weimin: Kids, did you encounter a gold coin merchant? My car suddenly stopped, and I met a gold coin merchant who said he would buy my belongings in exchange for gold coins.]

Lu Youyou quickly replied.

[Player 6666: Does the gold coin merchant have specific items he/she wants to buy? Or does he/she buy everything?]

[Zhang Weimin: I asked around, and they said they accept everything, but the prices vary.]

Lu Youyou quickly gave Zhang Weimin 10 rat venom capsules.

[Player 6666: Could you please ask me how many gold coins I can exchange for these 10 rat venom capsules?]

A while later, Zhang Weimin sent a message.

[Zhang Weimin: 5 gold coins, want to trade?]

[Player 6666: Okay, I'll send you two more rat venom capsules as a handling fee.]

Although Zhang Weimin insisted on not taking it, Lu Youyou still gave it to him.

A give-and-take approach is necessary to avoid annoying others.

Upon receiving the five gold coins, Lu Youyou felt a strong sense of familiarity, just like the gold coin chocolates she ate when she was a child.

However, it's solid; it doesn't contain chocolate.

Lu Youyou handed over three gold coins to the monster merchant and successfully obtained one swamp monster's eyeball and two wolf monsters' fangs.

The gold coin merchant received the gold coins and immediately ran away.

Lu Youyou got into the car, instructed the navigation system to continue driving, and then turned on the DIY manufacturing machine.

She also has 31 rat venom capsules and 2 units of acid to conduct experiments.

Since it's a universal fusion agent, it should be able to achieve the effect she wants, right?

Without further ado, Lu Youyou put one rat venom capsule and one unit of acid into the DIY machine, along with one swamp monster eyeball.

Click to create.

After one hour.

Lu Youyou was overjoyed to see that the object was no longer a pile of waste.

[Enhanced Rat Venom Capsule *1: Corrodes the target's skin, causing death by complete rotting within half an hour. Dispose of immediately after crushing within three seconds, otherwise you will be poisoned and die within half an hour.]

awesome!

This is exactly the effect Lu Youyou wanted!

She took out another rat venom capsule and one unit of acid, and this time put them into the wolf monster's fangs.

An hour later, she received another enhanced rat venom capsule.

After putting away the two rat venom capsules, Lu Youyou turned off her watch, pondering something.

Since parts of the wolf monster and the swamp monster can be used as a universal fusion agent, can the monsters killed in the Hunger Games be used as one?

She didn't have it in her backpack, so she had to ask on the public chat.

[Player 6666: Does anyone have meat from monsters killed in The Hunger Games?]

[Player 7879: What do you need that thing for? You can't eat it, and we only have a limited number of inventory slots, so we threw it away a long time ago.]

Dark green is the color of love: I have some, but I need 5 liters of water. If you have water, please message me privately.

[Player 6721: @SunGod, can the decomposer break down monster meat? 66 is buying monster meat, are you buying too? What's your offer? I'll choose the highest bidder.]

[Kid: Upstairs, you still believe in the Sun God? He's a member of the Blood Shadow Gang now, and the gang leader, Jiang Chao, is a treacherous and cunning villain!]

[Player 6721: So what if they're cunning? They're only cunning towards the big shots. They don't even care about lowly people like me. On the contrary, I can at least get a piece of the pie.]

[Good Baby: The person upstairs is right. Let the big shots fight it out. I also have some monster meat, @SunGod, are you interested? What's your offer?]
