"Congratulations on completing the ice-breaking mission. Now you only need to meet the gold coin requirement to complete the game."
Before Shen Muyu could recover from the golden light, the game administrator's voice rang in his ears, and then Xiao A started the car and collected the last gold coin.
"Congratulations on successfully completing the game 'Battle Royale on the Log Bridge'. We are now sending you the completion reward."
"Tired, weary, let's just give up." Upon hearing the notification, Shen Muyu simply didn't open his eyes to avoid being blinded by the white light again.
When will these eyesight-damaging lights be removed? They may look sophisticated, but they're really bad for your health!
Finally, silence fell over everything, and Shen Muyu yawned before slowly opening her eyes.
It's already past 5 PM. With games and missions along the way, Shen Muyu hasn't had a chance to rest and is now feeling quite exhausted.
"Wake up!" Shen Muyu cupped her face in her hands and rubbed it vigorously. She was sleeping in a haphazard way, so she decided to wait until tonight.
After taking a bag of potato chips from the glove box and eating a few bites to replenish his energy, Shen Muyu looked at the gold resource box in the passenger seat.
Perhaps the rewards from the last game instance had spoiled her appetite, so she found the boxes that were clearly a level below hers rather unappealing.
However, the biggest rewards from this game were actually the glasses and the laser weapon; this treasure chest was just an added bonus.
Upon opening the box, there wasn't much inside: only four tires, a small black box, and a bag of cabbage seeds.
Besides that, there were only a few stone-like objects. Shen Muyu glanced at them and found that they were actually saltpeter. Now the raw materials for the miniature ammunition depot were all gathered.
"Wow, the last major weakness of this car is finally going to be addressed!" Shen Muyu had wanted run-flat tires for a long time. When they were attacked outside the door just now, the tires were always on target and would blow out without warning.
Fortunately, the equipment on this vehicle doesn't require me to get out and change it myself; otherwise, with the tires punctured by bullets, I might not have been able to get through.
Shen Muyu put the tires into his backpack and boosted them, resulting in four extra tires. It seemed like he was given four extra tires from the start. But honestly, changing four tires at once probably wouldn't happen often, right...?
"An equipment not belonging to this vehicle has been detected. Should we install or replace it?"
After installing the tires and the vehicle's lighting system, Xiao A drove forward again, while Shen Muyu went to the trunk to cook.
The vehicle lights cover the entire car, and the main control panel is located above and behind the driver's seat. Now I don't have to carry around sunflower-shaped lampshades to the work area anymore.
"Wow! My little chick, how did you manage to be so brave?!" Shen Muyu was about to give the chick some water, but unexpectedly found three eggs scattered next to the makeshift chicken coop.
Shen Muyu carefully took them out. Each egg was a size larger than a normal egg, clearly indicating that they were nutritious and promising seedlings.
This time, Shen Muyu didn't even check whether they were fertilized or not, since the first batch would definitely go into his mouth!
Shen Muyu washed a few more tomatoes. Tonight, he planned to have a full tomato feast, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised beef brisket with tomatoes. Rice was the obvious choice for the main course.
After stewing the beef brisket, Shen Muyu planted half of the cabbage seeds. This stuff is not only versatile but also easy to store, and he estimated that the market demand should be quite large. The sooner he planted them, the sooner he could make money.
Holding the seedless watermelon that had already ripened, Shen Muyu returned to the car and pulled out the large in-car screen. Since the beef brisket was stewed until it was very tender, she planned to eat some fruit and watch some dramas first.
However, the moment of leisure was short-lived, as the pocket suddenly vibrated a few times.
The show was at an exciting part, and Shen Muyu couldn't bear to miss it, so she had to pause it before turning on the screen.
"Shen Muyu, I deserve to die." Shen Muyu was stunned when she saw Ji Fei's words. What heinous thing had Ji Fei done that she had to come to her to complain?
"What's wrong? Is there any hope? I'm pretty good at painless burping now." Thinking about his increasingly skilled expertise, Shen Muyu couldn't help but joke around.
"Waaah! I'm such a heartless and ungrateful person! But I can't kick the bucket yet, I haven't paid back what I owe him!" Ji Fei sent the message while wiping away her tears, while her "big brother" was pacing anxiously beside her.
"Him? Who is he? The older brother you switched out with?" Shen Muyu immediately thought of that person. Was Ji Fei remembering her past with him?
"Yeah, do you remember Shao Ruixuan? He's the guy we grew up with. He's the older brother who always saved me. He even lost his life to save me before, but I forgot about him. I'm such a bad person."
"Shao Ruixuan?" Shen Muyu slowly savored the name, and a fragment of memory surfaced.
She seemed to know this person very well? As more and more fragments of memory accumulated, Shen Muyu felt her head spinning.
Yes, they grew up together. Why would they forget him? When did it start?
"Do you remember the day of your coming-of-age ceremony? I went to the beach to play, but I got swept away. It was that time that he saved me... Waaah! But how could I forget him!"
"Coming-of-age ceremony? Shao Ruixuan? Gu Wenchen? Is it a coincidence?" Shen Muyu took several deep breaths before she could calm down.
It seems like everything changed from the day she came of age. Was it the male lead's influence? But even so, we shouldn't forget Shao Ruixuan.
"Forget it, this is so annoying, I don't want to think about it anymore." Shen Muyu shook her head. Anyway, it's all in the past, the main character is already dead, so whatever.
"It's okay, you still have a chance to make up for it, keep going! Although humans and ghosts are different, I doubt anyone here will stop you two." Let Ji Fei worry about her own affairs. Qin Tingxue hasn't been dealt with yet, so just forget about her. She's just a childhood friend.
"Ugh! Shen Muyu! Can't you at least comfort me properly?!"
"Remember to milk the cow and send it to me tomorrow. Also, please thank your friend for me." Shen Muyu sent the message and then quickly ran off; she needed to hurry up and make scrambled eggs with tomatoes!
(Shao Ruixuan doesn't have many scenes, but she's needed at the end, so this is just a brief introduction. Don't worry, everyone!)
