Reborn with the Infinite World Panel-Chapter 143 - 140: Dear Friends 2

After lunch, Nan Chu and the others went horse riding again in the afternoon.

Zhuang Wenqi and Xiong Jun had never ridden a horse before, so they both took some lessons first. After learning, everyone went horseback riding together.

The staff at the horse farm led the horses and guided them through the forest.

The paths in the forest were not easy to navigate, causing the horses to jostle a bit.

During the bumpy ride, Zhuang Wenqi felt her heart racing and was somewhat scared.

Zhuang Wenqi: [It’s quite scary.]

Hearing Zhuang Wenqi’s thoughts, Nan Chu quickly started a conversation with her to distract her.

After horse riding, they went shopping.

"Sister Zhuang, buy whatever you like. I’ll pay."

"That’s great," Zhuang Wenqi smiled.

Seeing some nice things, Nan Chu bought several extra pieces to give to family members and also to Senior Ma and the others.

When they approached a general store, Nan Chu noticed a chilling dark energy inside.

With a quick glance, she realized the dense dark energy was emanating from a corner of the shop.

Nan Chu walked to the corner and saw a black wooden box inscribed with sealing runes.

"Boss, where did this wooden box come from?"

The shop owner yawned and glanced at the black wooden box Nan Chu was pointing at, "This wooden box? I seem to have acquired it from a countryside household. The carvings on the box look ancient, so it might be worth some money."

"Boss, haven’t you noticed that after acquiring this item, you’ve frequently fallen ill and your shop’s business has declined?"

"Now that you mention it, it’s true," the shop owner realized. "I thought my sickness was due to seasonal changes. Could it really be this wooden box affecting things???" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"The contents of this wooden box are unknown, but the dark energy is quite intense. The seals can no longer contain it, causing the energy to leak and affect both you and your shop," Nan Chu said, forming a spell with her fingers to open the Heavenly Eye for the shop owner, enabling him to see the dark energy.

Upon seeing the dark energy, the owner was shocked. His shop was shrouded in dense blackness, as if night had fallen.

[I want to see it too.] Zhuang Wenqi thought curiously.

Hearing Zhuang Wenqi’s words, Nan Chu opened the Heavenly Eye for her as well to show her the dark energy.

The photographer was also curious, so Nan Chu opened it for him too.

Both were astonished upon seeing it, realizing that dark energy looked like this.

"Master, how should we handle this dark energy?" the owner quickly inquired.

"This wooden box needs to be dealt with first," Nan Chu said, taking out talismans to expel the dark energy from the shop.

Then she set up an Array Plate, placing an array and instructing Zhuang Wenqi and the others to wait outside the array. Once they were out, Nan Chu completely broke the box’s seals.

With the seal broken, an inner space appeared, revealing a demon core the size of an egg.

Such a large demon core suggests the demon might have cultivated for over a thousand years.

Besides the demon core, there was a dry shriveled finger, with dark energy emanating from it.

Whose finger is this, carrying such immense dark energy???

Nan Chu frowned slightly, storing both items in the infinite panel warehouse.

After settling everything, Nan Chu asked about the price of the wooden box and decided to buy it.

"If not for you, Master, I wouldn’t have realized the wooden box was problematic. Over time, both my health and shop would have suffered greatly. How could I charge you for this? It’s yours, Master."

"Thank you, sir," Nan Chu said, handing over a peace charm, "This is a peace charm for protection."

"Thank you, Master."

Nan Chu and her companions continued shopping, and after more than an hour, they went to meet up with the other guests.

Tonight, they plan to have a barbecue together.

However, each guest group had to pass a friendship test to earn barbecue ingredients.

The more in sync they were, the better their choice of ingredients.

They played a guessing game where one person performed with gestures, without speaking, and the other guessed. The smallest group, You Yiyao and Zhao Xingyue, started first.

Zhao Xingyue acted while You Yiyao guessed.

When the game started, the staff revealed the first word from the guessing book.

The first page read "washing machine."

Zhao Xingyue immediately took off her coat, pretending to open the door of an imaginary washer.

After thinking for a moment, You Yiyao said, "Washing machine."

"Correct."

The staff quickly turned to the next page.

It read "Nezha’s Sea Rebellion."

Zhao Xingyue thought for a moment and began her performance.

First, she squatted and drew two circles, then pretended to jump onto them.

Subsequently, she made a flying motion and punched around wildly.

You Yiyao was puzzled by the chaotic actions and didn’t understand.

"Random punches defeat the master?"

"Three Battles with the White Bone Spirit?"

After several guesses, You Yiyao couldn’t figure it out and decisively said, "Pass, next question."

The staff turned to the next page, which read "rose."

Zhao Xingyue twitched her lips, thinking performing a static rose was tough.

After some thought, she first pretended to be a couple and then acted out a flower.

Understanding immediately, You Yiyao guessed it correctly.

...

...

After three minutes, You Yiyao and Zhao Xingyue had guessed five words correctly.

Next were Nan Chu and Zhuang Wenqi, with Nan Chu performing and Zhuang Wenqi guessing.

Their first word was "frying pan."

Nan Chu signaled the number 3 with her fingers, indicating it’s a three-word phrase, then mimed a cooking action.

Zhuang Wenqi immediately guessed, "Frying pan?"

"Correct."

The second word was "taking the high-speed train."

Nan Chu skipped it, and the third word was "Si Junyan."

Nan Chu instantly performed Si Junyan’s signature work, and Zhuang Wenqi quickly got it.

...

...

When three minutes ended, Nan Chu and Zhuang Wenqi had guessed seven words correctly.

The remaining two groups, Zhao Hao and Xiong Jun, guessed six words.

Zheng Nanqiao and Ma Ningchuan guessed five words.

The winners were Nan Chu and her team, earning the best and most barbecue ingredients.

With the ingredients, Nan Chu began grilling and handed some to Zhuang Wenqi once they were cooked.

Zhuang Wenqi, always good at fostering relationships, took the cooked food and shared it with the other three guest groups.

Building rapport with Nan Chu.

They had more than enough ingredients for just the two of them, so sharing with others was a win-win, strengthening connections, something Zhuang Wenqi excelled at.

The other three groups were delighted to receive the barbecue.

After dinner, filming wrapped up for the day.

Once filming ended, they returned to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Nan Chu took out the demon core and shriveled finger.

She resealed the shriveled finger, and after sealing it, stored the items away.

She examined the demon core, sensing its strong energy, though unsure when it was extracted.

This demon core could be refined, potentially boosting her power levels.

However, before refining, she had to remove the demon energy.

Otherwise, the demon energy could disrupt her Inner Strength.

Nan Chu accessed the Panel Mall, purchased the needed tools, cleared the demon energy from the demon core, and then began meditating to absorb its energy.
