"No, Da Bai isn't that kind of dog," Ji Fei said nonchalantly as she stuffed the food into her mouth. After all, they grew up together, it couldn't be that bad.
"Oh right, I happen to have two bags of dog food here. I'll give them to Da Bai later," Ji Fei suddenly said, remembering the dog food that had been gathering dust in her backpack.
"Okay." Shen Muyu didn't refuse, since Da Bai was out of food anyway.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two casually leaned against the car wall and chatted, with the sunflower lampshade drooping beside them, casting its light.
Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other in so long, and had chatted face-to-face like this before, the two talked about everything under the sun, from gossip to philosophy, until they were too tired to talk anymore.
"You can drive to the front in a bit," Ji Fei said, getting up.
"Okay, I have room in my fridge. I'll take this pot of soup and cook the rest for you tomorrow." Shen Muyu nodded. It might be safer to be together, but she still couldn't sleep soundly. Ji Fei guessed that's what she was thinking too.
"Okay, I'll throw these in the back of the car. You can pack up the rest." Ji Fei said, then left with the iron pot and bowls.
Shen Muyu had blueprints for all these pots and pans. Butter was hard to wash, so it was better to just throw it away and make new ones later.
However, there was some leftover vegetables and meat, so Shen Muyu poured the soup into a small bowl, planning to make a big stew for lunch tomorrow.
After getting into the car, Shen Muyu and Ji Fei drove forward a bit, but Ji Fei stopped first, while Shen Muyu drove a little further before stopping.
The sudden return to silence from the hustle and bustle made Shen Muyu feel a little uncomfortable; indeed, people do need to interact.
After a quick wash and change of clothes, Shen Muyu sprayed some scented spray and went to sleep.
Ji Fei, who was behind her, also sprayed it with the little bit she had left at noon, but she didn't know if it would work.
Just as Shen Muyu was sleeping soundly, the light screen suddenly appeared quietly, followed by the organizer's unique electronic sound system.
Hearing the noise, Shen Muyu groggily opened her eyes. At first, she was still half asleep and thought it was a mouse passing by, but the familiar electronic sound quickly woke her up.
"Today will be your last day in the dark tunnel. Are you happy or excited?"
"To make this last day more meaningful, let's do something more fun!"
"What do you guys think of the parking space grabbing game? I think it's great."
"In a moment, I will score you on various aspects such as safety and comfort. This score will determine the order in which you enter the parking lot tomorrow."
"Of course, this score does not represent the final points. The resource box will be reset today, and it will only contain point cards of any value from 1 to 100 or any beast. Note that only one of the two will appear."
"Points will be tallied until 5 p.m. today, and your final points will be at that time."
"After the points are tallied, I will create a leaderboard based on the final points. The first-place winner will enter the parking lot first and have ten minutes of parking time, the second-place winner will have nine minutes, and so on, until the tenth-place winner will have one minute. At this point, you might be thinking, 'What's this called, a parking space grab?' Don't worry, the real competition will begin later."
"Those ranked eleventh to one hundredth will enter at the same time, and you will all have 59 seconds together."
"One hundred and five hundred people enter at the same time, with a time limit of 49 seconds."
"501 to 1500 people entered at the same time, with a time limit of 39 seconds."
"1,501 to 3,000 people entered at the same time, with a time limit of 29 seconds."
"As for the remaining Earthlings, they will enter at the same time. Whether you can get a parking space this time depends entirely on your luck and skill."
"Because of the different car models, there are two parking lots for this competition, and the parking spaces will be allocated according to the survival rate."
"In this competition, as long as the parking area occupies 80% of the total area, it is considered a successful parking. The parking space will provide you with an energy shield for protection, and other people will not be able to take your parking space. Of course, the energy shield has more than just this function."
"Blue Star car owners without parking spaces need not be discouraged or desperate. It only means that you do not have the right to receive protection, but the initiative to survive is still in your own hands. As long as you are strong enough and lucky enough, victory will belong to you."
That's all I wanted to say. I hope everyone will work hard.
"Oh, by the way, the Earthlings who form teams tomorrow will encounter a fork in the road again. This time, only one car is allowed to enter through each passage. Please make your decisions as soon as possible."
"One car? Now those who still choose to travel together will have to give up one car, and there won't be a chance to back out later." Shen Muyu muttered to himself after seeing this.
After the electronic sound disappeared, the words on the light screen gradually faded away, and the next second a points table appeared on the light screen.
"5200 points? I don't know if that's high or low." Shen Muyu carefully looked at the points details.
Bulletproof steel plates and bulletproof windows are both worth 1000 points, while reinforced crash barriers are worth 500 points. Interestingly, Big White and Little A are also worth 500 points each. Items like the incubator, refrigerator, and water purifier are only worth 200 points each, but these three seem to be cumulative, with a maximum of two.
Upon seeing this, Shen Muyu immediately built two more animal incubators, and sure enough, the score changed, gaining another 400 points.
The garbage decomposer was then built, but it only added 300 points and could not be accumulated.
If it weren't for the lack of aluminum in the alloy manufacturing device, Shen Muyu would have had to create it as well.
In addition, the overall comfort level was increased by 500. Shen Muyu thought for a moment and created a single bed, which she squeezed into the middle of the back compartment. The four-piece bedding set that she had brought out earlier was also laid out on it.
After a series of operations, the overall comfort level became 700, and the total score became 6100.
"That's all we can do." Seeing that nothing she did could change her score, Shen Muyu lay back down in the driver's seat. It was only a little past midnight, and she needed to get some sleep. If nothing unexpected happened, she would have to drive for eight hours straight tomorrow.
However, before going to sleep, she opened Ji Fei's chat window. She had just felt the vibration, but hadn't had time to check it. Now was a good time to reply.
"Wow! Shen Muyu! I've hit the jackpot this time!"
"Do you remember when I told my older brother not to let me spend those paper money?"
"I thought my older brother had risked his life to save me twice, so I figured I could save up for him and stay. I thought I was pretty stupid at the time, but!!!"
"The remaining paper money turned into points! I gained over a thousand points for no reason! How awesome is that!"
Shen Muyu shed tears of envy after seeing Ji Fei's words. If she had known this would happen, she would have had some left.
No, it seems there's nowhere to save money. Oh well, I'll just buy it early and enjoy it sooner (╥_╥).
"That's good, get some rest. But you're really bold to say that. Aren't you afraid I'll sneak over and steal you away?" Shen Muyu sighed, looking at Shen Muyu who never learns from her mistakes. Luckily, she's a good person, otherwise she really would have gone and killed someone to steal her.
"Um, you wouldn't, would you?" Ji Fei's words revealed a hint of caution.
"Heh, if I really thought that way, would I be telling you? Would I be afraid you wouldn't run away?"
"I'm going to sleep, jealousy is making me feel like my body is about to break apart." After saying that, Shen Muyu pulled up the coat covering her and closed her eyes.
