Chapter 40: Chapter40-Essentials
"John, the ability you just displayed..."
"Don't ask for now. I still don't know how to explain it to you. Give me some time."
John shook his head, not answering Helena's question.
He truly didn't know how to respond.
Should he reveal the whole truth and tell them that the so-called game was merely a pastime for the [Deities]?
Or should he tell them that no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to change his fate of dying in the end?
These were things John couldn't bring himself to say, so...
"Sorry..."
"You don't need to apologize. Although I don't know what you're hiding, I believe you have your reasons. I won't ask anymore until you're ready to tell me."
...
Thirty minutes later, John finally recovered from his exhausted state, and Exiled Immortal returned with over a dozen floating boxes.
"John! Look at what I found!"
"What has you so excited?"
"Just look!"
Exiled Immortal eagerly approached, showing the contents of the boxes to John and Helena.
Most of it was instant food and canned goods, and there were even some precious vegetables, though they looked a bit wilted. In these times, seeing a bit of green was a rare treat.
But...
"Is this all? There's nothing else?"
"Was there supposed to be something else?"
Exiled Immortal blinked, clearly not understanding John's question.
There was food, water, even some precious drinks and vegetables. What could be more important than these?
"Damn! Personal care items! Didn't I say we needed personal care items?"
"Don't we already have plenty of toilet paper and toiletries at home? What else do we need?"
"Uh... I think John means you should get some sanitary pads..."
Helena pinched the bridge of her nose, helplessly saying, "He specifically mentioned women's personal care items."
"Sanitary pads? What are those?"
"Forget it, just take Helena back home first. I'll go back in and see if there's anything we missed."
John didn't bother explaining to Exiled Immortal. He was just a kid; it was normal for him not to understand. The time spent on these explanations would be enough for John to go in again.
"Don't ask now. Let's move. We're already being watched."
Feeling the gazes from all directions, John lowered his voice. "I'll go back on my own."
"Are you sure, John?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
John nodded slightly, reassuring Exiled Immortal.
What John could do in the game world, he could also do in the real world.
For instance, falling from a height of over ten meters without a scratch.
Or summoning a golem!
Understanding this, Exiled Immortal didn't waste any more words. With a thought, he used Qingfeng to lift the collected supplies into the air, ascending until they became a small black dot in John's vision.
After Exiled Immortal left, John silently chanted, "Golem!"
Instantly, a giant steel golem slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!
The moment the golem appeared, those with ill intentions quickly abandoned their plans and turned to squabble among themselves.
The appearance of such a steel monster was as impactful as seeing Exiled Immortal ascend into the sky.
It's best not to provoke such a formidable figure.
Therefore, on his way back, John encountered no trouble, as no one dared to mess with him.
After leaving the city, John breathed a sigh of relief, recalled the golem, and took out the [Firewalker Dagger].
This was a necessary move.
The journey had almost exhausted the golem's chant essence, and the excessive energy consumption was giving John a headache.
When he returned to the abandoned warehouse, he spotted Exiled Immortal waving at him from the top of the building, making John smile.
"Get down quickly, before someone notices you."
"What's there to be afraid of? With your golem around, who would dare cause trouble?"
Exiled Immortal grinned and said, "John, you're smart, gathering so many supplies!"
"Of course, these are essentials. Even if we don't need them, we can trade them. Learn from this!"
John appreciated Exiled Immortal's praise and patted his head. However, when he opened the door, he saw Helena with a knowing smile, holding a box of ultra-thin 0.2.
Seeing this, John froze in place.
"Well... you really did prepare thoroughly, Brother John~"
"No, Helena, I didn't..."
"Didn't what? Didn't mean it? You clearly took so many! I knew you had ulterior motives! Exiled Immortal, go back to the game world. I have some questions for John!"
