One night passed.
Wei Huan upgraded the vehicle's air conditioning by one level and the balcony by two levels. He also summoned 18 undead skeletons that circled around the car.
Mu Zhong picked up a steaming cup of hot water, sat in the passenger seat like an old cadre, and slowly, very slowly, took a sip.
"Slurp~"
"Ha~"
Then she looked up at Wei Huan and asked him, "Are you sure I only slept for one night, and not for five days and five nights?"
Wei Huan smiled.
Then he took out the silver-grade psionic potion he had just obtained and said, "I drank this, and it worked."
Mu nodded, and as Wei Huan drank the medicine, he also raised his water glass and took a sip of hot water.
Then he said, "I never thought that someone like me could enjoy life amidst challenges instead of living in fear."
You should know that when I chose to rely on you, a cripple might not have had any good intentions. So you don't need to worry about me; only when you are strong enough will I have any hope of recovery.
I will never forget the kindness of your stamina potion that saved my life yesterday.
Wei Huan saw his attributes after taking the potion in the rearview mirror inside the car.
Name: Wei Huan
...
Endurance: 218br240
Strength: 33
Agility: 25
Dark Power: 116 + 30 (Equipment Attribute)
...
My Nether Force is almost at 150.
Indeed, the rich get richer and the strong get stronger.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I doubt anyone before me has ever dared to venture deep into the forest in this foreign land at night.
It was a great risk, but the rewards were also very encouraging.
Mu Zhong said that he had slept for five days, and he was absolutely right.
This achievement, which would be something other challengers would struggle to accomplish in five days, was obtained by Wei Huan in just one night.
It's hard to imagine how strong he would become if this continued.
After drinking the psionic potion, Wei Huan was full of energy and not sleepy, but it was clearly not the time to continue exploring.
He said, "I'm going to the Temple of My Professions, where I can summon new undead creatures again."
Mu nodded and asked, "I'll cook something in a bit, should I call you?"
"No need, I'll just eat whatever I can after I wake up. I got the Level 2 shock absorber blueprints, but not Level 1. Could you exchange them for me? I'm determined to handle tomorrow's emergency."
Mu Zhong listened, took notes, and nodded, while also swiping his fingers across the screen. He then said, "We also have the level 2 shell reinforcement blueprints, so we'll upgrade them to level 2 today. We already have the level 1 simple RV blueprints, so we can sell them and get some materials. As for the weapons and equipment you mentioned, I don't need any of them right now, so I'll keep one and sell the rest. What do you think..."
Mu Chong turned his head and saw that Wei Huan had already slumped into the chair and entered the Temple of Professions.
After his main consciousness left this world, his summoned creatures remained, faithfully and tirelessly carrying out Wei Huan's orders.
Mu Zhong and the wolf guarding the carriage exchanged a glance for two seconds, smiled, and began their new busy day.
...
Wei Huan at 1 p.m.
Open your eyes.
Entering the professional temple for training cannot completely replace sleep; insufficient mental energy will also affect the efficiency of professional training.
Jingzhou Xiaoyao reminds you that "Highway Survival, God-Level Treasure Chest Start" is being updated as soon as possible. Remember to come and see the latest and complete chapters.
Wei Huan felt intense fatigue while touring the tombs and had no choice but to quit his cultivation.
Everyone was excited as the challenge began, including Wei Huan.
Especially after his six-star legendary class awakened, all he could think about was how to seize the advantage and become stronger.
But this excitement began to wane on the third day of the challenge.
And he was hungry.
Last night I only ate two skewers of grilled meat and a cup of coffee, and I've kept it up until now.
Upon returning to his professional temple, the first thing Wei Huan smelled was the aroma of coffee.
When I opened my eyes and turned around, I saw Mu Chong standing on the chair, slowly tilting his head back to face the drip coffee.
Opposite the kitchen counter was a window that couldn't be opened, and light shone in from outside, illuminating the dramatic and striking lines of his profile.
His severe injuries had made him extremely thin; from Wei Huan's perspective, his waist was so slender that it seemed one could grasp it with a single hand.
An inexplicable sense of gentleness, along with the hazy silhouette of the steaming rice cooker beside it, creates a strange harmony.
The peaceful and serene atmosphere almost made one forget that this was supposed to be a world full of perilous challenges.
Wei Huan glanced at him again before deliberately making a noise to attract Mu Zhong's attention.
"Awake?" Mu Zhong turned his head to look at him.
Wei Huan nodded and said calmly, "Is there anything to eat? I plan to eat something before I go to sleep."
"Can't smell the aroma of braised beef?" Mu Zhong smiled, realizing something. "Oh, right, I forgot that the vehicle's ventilation system has been upgraded, and it's obviously working very well."
Wei Huan also noticed that the vehicle had undergone significant changes over the past few hours.
First, on the dashboard, the top speed has increased from 150 mph to 280 mph.
This improvement comes from two consecutive upgrades to the vehicle's shock absorbers and a two-level upgrade to the tires.
This also means that this dilapidated van has finally achieved basic vehicle speed.
In addition, the vehicle's exterior and interior ventilation have been upgraded to level two.
The car body is rated as Level 2, with 100% durability.
The level 2 vehicle shell can withstand the invasion of two-star monsters after the newbie protection period ends.
In other words, it can defend against attacks from the raging bear.
A two-star Berserker Bear is already considered one of the most difficult monsters on the beginner highways.
No, there's also the cave beast that's currently perched on the roof of the vehicle, fused with it.
Samsung's Crypt Beast is far superior to the current level in the field. Thinking about it this way, it's really a lucky coincidence that I survived.
The only regret now is that the vehicle engine has never been upgraded.
If all the major components of the vehicle are upgraded to level 1, he can purchase level 2 RV blueprints and upgrade the entire interior living area to level 2.
The engine is the core of the vehicle; not only is the drop rate very low, but once you get it, you'll almost always use it yourself.
The warehouse currently has level 3 engine blueprints, but without level 1 and 2 blueprints, it cannot be used.
Therefore, while strength is important in challenging the world, luck is also crucial.
Of course, at this stage, Wei Huan is confident that he can complete the task.
Tomorrow's "Unexpected Event" Challenge.
He remembered that if he could get first place, the reward would not only be points, but also a special purple item called "Microcosm".
In this way, they can also develop a lifestyle-oriented system and strive to win first place on the overall leaderboard of the beginner challenge.
The reward platinum treasure chest was opened by Mu Zhong, allowing him to awaken a legendary dual-class system.
Only when they are all strong, and join forces, can they have a chance to change the future.
Wei Huan's gaze swept across the scene, giving him complete control over the current situation of the vehicle.
Mu Zhong got up from his chair and continued, "I posted an advertisement to buy engine blueprints. Our Black Iron-class weapons are very attractive. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to upgrade to at least a Level 1 engine before dawn tomorrow."
"I hope so," Wei Huan said.
Mu Chong raised an eyebrow: "Why do you seem so insecure?"
Wei Huan said, "Keep the blueprints in hand, and when an emergency is announced, prioritize upgrading what you need. We're no longer in the early days of the challenge, completely clueless."
Mu Zhong thought about it and said, "That makes sense."
Even so, the two of them didn't feel much pressure.
After all, it's only been the second day since I entered the game, and I've never heard of anyone upgrading key components like shock absorbers, tires, and shells to level 2.
These Level 2 components are enough to give the two of them the confidence to complete tomorrow's challenge.
The only difference is whether there's a chance to break another record and get more rewards.
As they were talking, the two walked through the carriage and headed towards the balcony.
The balcony, upgraded to level 2, is larger than the car's interior space, with an area of about 10 square meters, and can be used as a second room.
On the balcony was the chair that Wei Huan had exchanged for last night, placed next to the large floor-to-ceiling window, from which one could directly see the wandering skeletons of the dead outside.
Wei Huan brought over the rice cooker and opened it, revealing steamed white rice, each grain white, translucent, plump, and glistening.
Lift up the steamer basket containing the white rice; underneath is tender, stewed beef.
Last night, Wei Huan opened a black iron treasure chest, and the beef dropped by the monster in the chest has now become a delicious food.
The rich aroma of beef, combined with the savory flavor of the sauce, makes your mouth water, as if you've been starving for a lifetime.
Wei Huan took the rice that Mu Zhong handed him and couldn't wait to put a piece of beef into his mouth.
The piping hot beef rolls on your tongue, releasing a rich aroma; it's perfectly tender and has a flawless texture.
After finishing a bowl of rice in one go, Wei Huan said, "Delicious! I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."
"I have to show my value." Mu Zhong was actually quite surprised by his own cooking skills. His current body was not suitable for eating this kind of food, but he couldn't help but pick up a piece and chew it again and again. "I traded the ingredients for a cookbook and followed it. It's not only because the ingredients are good, but also because of your abundant stock, which gave me a lot of room to make use of it."
"You don't need to be so careful."
"I just hope that my existence can have meaning."
"It makes sense."
Wei Huan looked up and smiled at Mu Chong.
His expectations for him went far beyond cooking and being a middleman.
Of course, at this stage, it's good that they do their best to do what they can.
He ate a satisfying lunch, which also made Wei Huan feel less sleepy than usual.
It was even more intense than I imagined.
After finishing the meal, I went to sleep without even washing the dishes. Almost instantly, I fell into a dark dream.
This time there was no large tomb, nor countless skeletons; he was simply fast asleep.
I slept until dark.
Open your eyes.
The car was lit with green ambient lighting.
Mu Zhong continued browsing the auction house on the glass projection screen on the balcony, occasionally buying and selling items.
The summoned creatures patrol tirelessly and faithfully outside the vehicle.
As soon as Wei Huan stood up, Mu Zhong turned to look at him. "Awake?"
Wei Huan put on the silver goggles and saw Mu Zhong's current condition: "Endurance 18br260".
Me?
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong without saying a word.
Mu Zhong chuckled, pinching the bridge of his nose. "No wonder you're a little tired. Do you want to have dinner? I'll rest after I eat."
It's only 6:30 pm now, and Wei Huan has only been asleep for five hours, but the stamina of a seriously injured patient will definitely drop faster than that of a healthy person.
Mu Zhong needs more sleep or some special medicine to recover.
"Have you tried the healing potion from the prayer?"
"I've tried it, and it's not bad."
"So that's why you still have 18 points of stamina?"
"Yes, I wanted to rest around four o'clock. A prayer offered me a level 1 car headlight and a healing potion in exchange for a black iron leather armor, and I agreed."
"Hmm, not bad, there's a discount for support classes."
"I think so too, he seems to really need the black iron leather armor..."
Wei Huan stood up, about to speak, when he saw Mu Zhong getting off the table while holding onto the back of the chair. His arm swayed, the chair leg twisted, and he looked like he was about to fall.
Wei Huan flashed forward, arms outstretched, and charged ahead.
Mu Zhong regained his composure.
Wei Huan remained in his position, stopping halfway, and looked at Mu Zhong in bewilderment.
"puff!"
Mu Zhong smiled.
After laughing, her eyes softened, and she looked deeply at Wei Huan, saying, "Thank you, I'm sorry to have worried you!"
