Chapter 6: Leveling Up Twice in One Day!
Dreaming of Becoming a Live-in Son-in-Law: "Boss, thank you so much! Just this small bucket filled up my car. Do you have any more gasoline? I have some other supplies I can trade!"
"I just got incredibly lucky and found a monster-free bronze resource crate, and I opened a space backpack from it!"
"This backpack has five storage slots. I just tried it, and items can be stacked repeatedly. It's quite useful!"
A space backpack was what Yu Qi needed most; it was more precious than ordinary supplies. Such an item definitely couldn't be exchanged for just one portion of gasoline.
She put up the remaining two portions of gasoline, and the transaction was quickly completed, exchanging them for a light yellow backpack.
The backpack was very light to carry. Even after sorting and putting the items from her storage bag into it, the weight didn't change at all. It truly lived up to its name as a spatial item.
Aside from these scattered transactions, all the food she had put up in the trading shop had also sold out, and the three Wild Chickens were gone as well.
These seemingly plump Wild Chickens are really popular. I hope to encounter more next time!
If only I could find a chicken nest, I could clear them all out at once!
[Congratulations on completing all transactions. Do you want to tally your current resources?]
(Toilet paper ×5, mineral water ×3, iron block ×22, plastic ×35, glass ×5, tire ×5, heart of energy ×7, original flavored soy milk ×2, self-heating hotpot ×3, military canned food ×3, anti-inflammatory medicine ×3, painkiller ×3, hemostatic bandage ×2, worn-out tent ×1, vehicle reinforced steel plate ×1, universal metal×1, nylon rope ×3, small medical kit ×1)
(Good Luck Card ×1, explosion card ×1, Monster Gathering Card ×1, iron-cutting dagger ×1, Aluminum Alloy Retractable Snake Clip ×1)
These resources were not all of Yu Qi's resources. It seemed the Road Survival system couldn't tally items placed in the homesteadwarehouse slots.
This surprised her a little. In the future, there might be more and more cards, and it was hard to guarantee there wouldn't be strange cards that could swap other people's supplies.
Since the system couldn't even tally them, those cards definitely wouldn't be able to either!
From now on, important supplies must be placed in the homestead warehouse. This is a safeguard!
After riding for so long, Yu Qi was hungry. She opened a self-heating hotpot, then found a box of yogurt and two braised eggs in her warehouse slot, and had a simple meal.
While eating, she kept an eye on the chat lobby. It was bustling, with almost everyone who had free time squatting there.
After all, it was the first day of the Survival Game. Many people, after the initial panic, started speculating in the lobby whether being thrown into the game was some kind of conspiracy.
Star River Enters Dream: "I've analyzed it carefully. Our major district is called Longhua District 2333. Our country is called Longhua. Do you think other countries might also be thrown in, coming to this game together?"
"There are 100,000 people in our district. Even if this game has three thousand districts, that's a total of three hundred million people. How terrifying is it that so many people are dragged into this game?"
"Moreover, there might be more than three thousand major districts; there could be five thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand major districts. Are we, Blue Star, the only ones thrown into this game? Could there be aliens competing with us?"
This speculation silenced many players. They were already terrified and uneasy, and with this deduction, they suddenly felt there was no hope of survival.
The Stubbornness of the Bald Girl: "I don't think it's necessary to think so much. In reality, we might also just take things one day at a time. Worrying now won't help. Let's just focus on surviving first!"
Dreaming of Becoming a Live-in Son-in-Law: "Bald Teacher always has such a good mindset!"
The Stubbornness of the Bald Girl: "..."
Seeing this group of people discussing, Yu Qiremembered what her sister had said before she was pulled into the game.
At that time, her sister said that some people on Blue Star might actually have aliens from other planets sent over.
Since the Survival Game has appeared, are aliens still strange?
While pondering, Yu Qi took the opportunity to advertise in the chat lobby.
Hunting Moment: "Collecting iron blocks and hearts of energy, long-term purchase of universal battery. Contact me in the backend if you have any."
Her advertisement message was inconspicuous among so much information, but because her name was quite famous, some people still brought it up.
Mo Ran Qian Qiu: "Hunting Boss is here to collect basic resources again. Is the vehicle Boss chose difficult to upgrade? Is it a truck?"
Dark Cloud Covering the Toilet: "Starving, starving! Who can understand the luck of only opening two chests in a day, both of which only contained iron blocks! I'm holding twenty iron blocks now, starving so much my chest is touching my back. Hunting Boss, save me!"
Scammed 500 in Online Dating: "Brother Dark Cloud, at least you got basic resources. I only found one chest today, and it was full of rats. After killing them, I couldn't even extract meat; it was completely useless. It almost made me spit blood! Who's the lucky one here?! Hunting Boss, let me have some of your luck. I don't ask for a server-wide announcement, just let me survive!"
Yu Qi glanced at it and immediately contacted Dark Cloud Covering the Toilet. After they discussed, she used a bag of ten slices of toast bread, two portions of military canned food, and one portion of fruit canned food to exchange for his twenty iron blocks.
Among the basic resources, she still lacked eight iron blocks. She searched the lobby again and quickly gathered them with two military canned foods.
Finally, she was short of three hearts of energy, but hearts of energy were very important supplies. She looked for a long time but couldn't find a suitable price.
Either the price was too outrageous, directly asking for a hundred portions of food, or they would beat around the bush in her private messages, trying to get more information for free.
Just as Yu Qi was getting a headache, another private message arrived in her backend.
Taciturn: "Do you have anti-inflammatory medicine and bandages? I have three hearts of energy left, and I can trade them all to you."
Yu Qi's eyes lit up; she was only short of three hearts of energy!
Hearts of energy were precious supplies that many people might not even find in a day. She thought about it and put up all three portions of anti-inflammatory medicine and two hemostatic bandages from her backpack.
Besides these scattered anti-inflammatory medicines and hemostatic bandages, she had also opened a small medical kit from a silver resource crate, and the medicines inside were already sufficient.
Hunting Moment: "If it's not enough, I can give you a few more cans."
The other party was as silent as his name suggested; he didn't say much, directly traded the three hearts of energy, and then went offline.
Yu Qi, on the other hand, happily looked at her personal panel.
The upgrade materials were gathered, and she could upgrade her wheelchair to Level 2!
But before that, she had to use up the remaining battery, or it would be a waste!
Thinking of this, Yu Qi immediately spun the handle vigorously and drove forward again.
She insisted on draining the battery to the very bottom, only seeing that trace of red, before clicking to upgrade.
[Ding, vehicle upgrade conditions are met: Iron block 50/50, plastic 35/30, tire 5/4, heart of energy 10/10. Upgrade time: ten minutes. Upgrading...]
Unfortunately, the Good Luck Card's duration had expired, and she didn't encounter any more treasure chests afterward.
Yu Qi still had one Good Luck Card, but she didn't plan to use it now because she found that the Good Luck Card's luck was better at the beginning, and then it would decrease.
Using it again today wouldn't have the same effect as at first, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow or the day after.
vehicle: Electric Tricycle Level 2 (Max speed 20km/h, battery 100%, resources required for upgrade: Iron block ×150, plastic ×80, glass ×8, tire ×5, heart of energy ×30)
This time, the hearts of energy increased to 30, which would probably take two or three days to gather.
The disassembled electric wheelchair in front of her transformed into a black Electric Tricycle, with plastic curtains around it, making it look quite decent.
[Wow, you've leveled up twice in one day during the novice period. Even phone updates aren't as fast as you. Congratulations on obtaining the Speed Master Badge! After wearing the badge, you will gain a 10% speed increase!]
[That's right, it's your agility speed, not the vehicle's speed! But the vehicle's speed can't fall behind either. I wish you can run farther and strive for first place~]
A wooden badge fell from the sky. Yu Qi hung this badge around her neck and carefully gazed at the system's final hint.
Could it be that driving a long distance can also trigger a regional announcement?
Yu Qi kept this reminder in mind, determined to drive a longer distance tomorrow.
The sky had quickly turned dark; today's journey was completely over.
The first night of the Survival Game arrived. It was pitch black all around, yet howls could be heard continuously from all directions.
There were chicken cries, wolf howls, and tiger roars... more were the sounds of unrecognizable monsters, making the silent night especially eerie.
The messages popping up in the chat lobbybecame faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, countless messages flooded the screen. Most people were discussing the night, trembling and crying online.
"Scared me to death! I just went to pee and heard a monster breathing loudly right next to me. If it weren't for novice protection, those monsters would have rushed over immediately, and I wouldn't have even a bone left!"
"Oh my god, what should I do, what should I do? These monsters are already so terrifying during the novice period. After the three-day novice period is over, can we even survive?"
"Can this protective shield really protect us? I also feel like some monsters are so close, as if they could swallow us whole any second..."
While these people were chatting, Yu Qi actively gazed into the darkness instead.
Because in the night, she saw one health barafter another light up.
And for players, as long as a health bar lights up, they can kill!
