Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

"You...what are you doing?"

Chuan Qiong was stunned. Looking at Xiao Qi's actions, she actually understood something, but she still couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Qi opened his palm, letting the wound tear open so that more blood could flow out.

"Since you said that what is needed is the blood of a magician, I am also a magician, so why can't I use it to refine the core like you do? We only need each of us to give half, and we can save both our lives."

Xiao Qi responded with a frown. She rarely got hurt so it took a lot of determination for her to cut her palm.

Now her palms were both painful and itchy, feeling a bit tingling, and the steam from the pot penetrated into the wounds, making her look really ugly.

Chuan Qiong was a little stunned and looked at Xiao Qi in silence. What she said was indeed a method, but if she refined the core herself, other magicians would have to pay too much for her. This was not what she wanted to see, nor was it something others should bear.

But things have come to this... Chuan Qiong placed his hand on the medicine pot and was silent for the first time, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, I will help you heal the wound on your hand later. However...you lost not only blood, but also magic power and vitality. It will take about a week or more to recover."

After hesitating for a long time, Chuan Qiong finally spoke, and Xiao Qi nodded, thinking it was worth it.

"You are willing to sacrifice your life to build the core of the shelter for the future of the majority of mankind. Why can't I do the same...?"

Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao Qi doesn’t think this is a good way to complete the task. If he kills Chuanqiong, can he still get full marks?

After chatting for a few words, the two fell into silence. The loss of blood and energy made them feel a little weak, and they no longer had any extra interest in chatting.

This process was rather long, so long that Xiao Qi began to doubt whether this was the real way to complete the task. After an unknown amount of time, she felt exhausted and weak all over. Even raising her hands was laborious. She could hardly do anything. Her vision began to blur and she felt groggy. She didn't want to do anything, including thinking. She couldn't do anything.

Just before she closed her eyes, a dazzling golden light burst out from the cauldron, and her body was bounced back, followed by darkness.

 …

When Xiao Qi regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she was almost scared by the pairs of eyes. Countless wooden people surrounded Xiao Qi's bed and looked at her curiously. When they found that she woke up, they immediately reported to Chuan Qiong.

"She's awake, she's awake, she's awake!"

Chuan Qiong, who was preparing tea on the side, heard the sound, turned around immediately, put down his things and sat in front of Xiao Qi's window.

"You're awake... How do you feel? Don't move around yet. Your body is too weak. It's hard for you to recover after losing so much blood. A healer friend of mine gave me a bottle of healing potion. Drink it first."

Chuanqiong said this and asked the little wooden man to bring a bottle of potion. Although Xiao Qi also had healing potions, just by looking at the packaging, he knew that it was incomparable to this level of healing potions, and the effect was definitely extraordinary.

She had a splitting headache and was so weak that she couldn't speak. She was lucky to wake up, so she drank the healing potion handed to her by Chuanqiong. The moment she drank it, a warm and comfortable feeling enveloped her whole body, and her internal organs seemed to be nourished. Although the physical weakness from deep inside had not yet disappeared, other aspects were much better.

Finally able to speak, Xiao Qi hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much...I feel much better now."

Chuanqiong held Xiao Qi in his arms and brought another bowl of soup.

"This is the medicine I tried to make. I used a lot of herbs that can enhance magic power. Your magic power is still lacking now, and this may be able to supplement it a little. But as I said before, you still need to recuperate for a while. In addition... I am the one who should be thanked the most. My body is better than yours, so I should have donated more blood, but in fact, each of us donated 50%, which is why you..."

Chuan Qiong's eyes were filled with heartache and guilt. She was always smiling, but when she showed this expression, even the plants and trees would be moved.

"Since I did it willingly, it has nothing to do with you. Moreover, you also gave me the healing potion. I feel very good now. By the way...is the core of the shelter successfully refined?"

Chuanqiong fed Xiao Qi all the medicine and then nodded.

"Very successful. The most successful I expected. Shall I take you to see it? Can you stand up?"

Xiao Qi struggled to sit up from the bed. Although his face still looked a little pale, it was indeed much better than at the beginning.

"Of course, take me to see it. I'm curious about what it looks like."

Chuanqiong took Xiaoqi's hand and went to the next room.

Soon, a huge box shining with golden light appeared in front of Xiao Qi. The box had a hard golden shell and was quietly floating in the air. Xiao Qi looked at it in astonishment and recognized at a glance that this was the box monster he had seen in the community of Liuyang Shelter.

Claiming to be the great invention of a past civilization, it is a miracle created by a light magician.

When Chuanqiong saw Xiaoqi's expression, he thought she didn't understand why the core turned into such a box.

"The so-called shelter core is actually just a product made through magic. They can have any appearance, but after much thought, I think a box is better. After all, its responsibility in the future is to provide food, water and protection to the people in the shelter. In addition, I will give it the ability to peek into all treasure chests. It should wake up soon..."

This was exactly the same description as the box monster. Xiao Qi was able to confirm that this was the box monster she had seen in the shelter.

But was the Boxtroll created in this way? Didn't it already exist?

Before Xiao Qi could come to his senses, the box monster began to shake its body slowly, followed by a slight sound.

"...Magician? You are the one who gave me life."

Chuan Qiong moved forward and slowly stroked the rough patterns on the surface of the box monster, injecting more magic into it.

"It was me and this dark magician who gave you life. You should know what you need to do. After you go back with that person, do everything you should do and protect more people from surviving the disaster. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Xiao Qi was extremely shocked at the moment. After he and Chuan Qiong left the room with the box, he sat on the bed with an unpredictable expression on his face.
