The End of the World: Chaos

"Ruth, can you come and lend me a hand?" Yang Yi gently put the backpack on the ground and slowly unzipped it, revealing the dazzling array of rare treasures inside. At this time, Ruth and Sika were attracted and came closer.

"What is this?" Ruth was curious and reached out to take out a crystal ball that was glowing.

"I got this thing during my last expedition. I heard that it can predict the future, but I still don't fully understand its usage." Yang Yi answered calmly, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.

"Predicting the future? It's really magical!" Xika asked excitedly with admiration in his eyes, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"I wanted to try it, but I found that if it is abused, it may have side effects." Yang Yi shook his head and sighed, looking at the crystal ball, "I must treat this thing with caution and use it when the time is right."

"Have you heard of this side effect?" Xika interrupted, with a hint of mystery between his brows, "I heard that some people will have hallucinations or lose their minds after using it."

"So I'm more careful." Yang Yi finished speaking, and then he lowered his head to look through his backpack, continuing to explore the treasures inside. "This time, with the crystal ball in hand, I still need to deal with some old equipment, this thing..."

He took out a dusty small box and dusted it off, looking at Xika with a little hesitation, "I picked this up during my last expedition. It's not very useful, but maybe it can bring you some fun."

"Can I see this thing?" Xika was already eager to try it out, so he rushed to his side and stared at the small box intently.

"The items in the box may not be to your liking." Yang Yi spoke cautiously, but he couldn't help thinking that maybe giving this item to Xika would make her happy. Therefore, he smiled slightly and finally opened the box.

There were all kinds of miscellaneous items in the box, including old gloves, some rusty tools and a yellowed ancient scroll.

"What are these?" Xika leaned closer, his eyes wandering inside the box with curiosity.

"I used this glove in the past, but it is useless now. And this scroll is said to be able to summon small animals." Yang Yi shrugged lightly.

"Summon small animals?" Sika was as excited as a crane that had been idle for a long time, and said with anticipation, "It's really interesting, I want to get it!"

"Do you really want this?" Yang Yi frowned slightly, hesitating. Although he wanted to give it as a gift, the effect of this scroll was not very clear.

"Of course!" Xika stretched out his hand eagerly, his face full of desire.

"Okay, since you like it so much, it's yours." Yang Yi smiled slightly and handed the scroll to Xika.

"Thank you, Yang Yi!" Xika took the scroll, his face full of joy, and turned around to show it off to Ruth.

Ruth glanced at Yang Yi and asked softly, "Do you really want to give these old things to Xika?"

"I think this is a good idea," Yang Yi responded seriously, "She needs something that can inspire her passion, and it's meaningless for these antiques to stay with me, so it's just right for her to have them."

Ruth hesitated for a moment. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she knew that Yang Yi had unwavering intentions. While the three of them were chatting, Xika suddenly took out a helmet from the box and exclaimed in surprise: "This seems to be a warrior's helmet. It's really cool!"

"Oh, I know this helmet. Although it's a bit old, it's said to be a famous weapon. It's said that I don't need to use it." Yang Yi glanced at the helmet and felt a slight buzz in his heart. In fact, the function of this thing has not been fully developed.

"I don't mind using this helmet!" Sika put the helmet on his head with a smile on his face, "Look, I have transformed into a warrior now, you can see it!"

"It's a pity that you don't have the strength yet." Yang Yi sighed lightly, but he was quite pleased with her enthusiasm.

"Don't underestimate me!" Xika muttered, pouting her lips, but her eyes became more determined, "I will become powerful!"

"It's really puzzling, why are you so fond of these old things?" Yang Yi felt helpless about her obsession.

"Because they all have stories! I heard that every antique has its own soul and memory." Sika spoke sincerely, with a gleam in his eyes, as if telling an ancient legend.

"Soul and memory? What story can give me strength?" Yang Yi pursed his lips, his pursuit of self surging in his mind, and he had doubts about these ancient artifacts.

At this moment, Yang Yi felt a little touched. Perhaps these items were indeed worth collecting, but he had never taken the time to appreciate them in the past.
