Chapter 15 Your Highness, Best of Luck
[Falcon]: @Frank, let's meet and see, no rush.
[Hanada Chiko]: @Falcon, could you share the information about the corresponding attribute increases from the courses you've collected? I can trade with you resources, vehicle upgrade cards, or upgrade materials are also acceptable.
[Falcon]: @HanadaChiko I'm sorry, the student I communicated with requested confidentiality.
Pei Hening glanced at it briefly, and closed the panel after not seeing any other useful information.
She took out the newly drawn blueprint for the water dispenser.
[Water Dispenser]: 5 plastic parts, 4 water pipes, 1 glass part, 1 electrical wire.
The required materials are not many: "002, list the water dispenser for trading as well, and set the price to one set of water dispenser materials plus three basic vehicle upgrade materials."
After finishing her meal, she put the bed out, tied a parasol to the headboard, sprayed herself with a cooling mist, and then climbed into bed to sleep.
She went to sleep, while Chu Xuange spent another four hours killing monsters.
——
Day nine of highway survival.
After washing up and having breakfast, Pei Hening had a video call with Chu Xuange.
When she found the first box, she saw a building not far away, which must have been the station.
Chu Xuange glanced at the screen: "There's a multi-purpose gas station up ahead, you can go in and take a look."
He spoke quickly, "I have a bit of a problem here, I'll hang up now, see you at school."
Before Pei Hening could ask what was going on, he hung up the phone.
She opened the chat channel and found out why he had suddenly hung up the phone.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: There's a pursuit team in this game. I just saw a player being chased by their car. It was even more exciting than the luxury car chases in Hollywood blockbusters.
[Why is my nose so red?]: I encountered a green snake that claimed to be a traffic cop and tried to stop me and fine me, saying I was driving without a license. I laughed so hard. How could the famous Akina Mountain racing god be driving without a license?
[The escaped mermaid]: Did you pay the fine? @Why is your nose so red?
[I'll bury you in money]: His profile picture is grayed out, he's probably done for.
[Give me a stick of incense]: He died already? What were the conditions for death?
[Falling Flowers and Fragrant Rain]: It's only been two days since the new player protection period ended, and over four thousand people have already died.
[Shark Ten Years]: @LemonTreeLemonFruit The one being chased by the pursuit team is, unsurprisingly, the little princess.
[Old Invisible Man]: Detailed
[C6]: Ears
[Beautiful, Frozen Lady]: Ears
[The young master laughed again]: Ears
[Lemon tree and lemon fruit]: Ears
[Shark Ten Years]: I was working out at the gym when a search team came in and searched the place. They said they were looking for a wanted criminal, but they couldn't find him. They just put up a wanted poster in the gym and left. When I looked at it, I thought, "Oh my god, isn't that my princess sister?"
[Shark Ten Years]: "Image"
[Old Invisible Man]: Ten million sin points, what big thing did he do? I wonder if he can help me out? @Shark Ten Years Gym, what do the NPCs like the staff and manager think about the wanted poster?
[Shark Ten Years]: It's hard to say. I feel they're not interested in the wanted posters, and the rewards for them are very low. Princess Sister's danger rating is still S-level.
Pei Hening drove the car into the gas station.
"Welcome player [DibiDibi] to the highway gas station. Please remember the following rules carefully."
"1. Self-service refueling and charging are provided at the gas station, and corresponding fees will be charged."
"2. Smoking and open flames are prohibited inside gas stations."
"3. Players are prohibited from attacking each other inside the gas station."
"4. Players may not stay in the gas station for more than two hours."
"Special: A villain with tens of millions of sin points has appeared in the world. The pursuit team is on the move. If you encounter the pursuit team, please cooperate with the investigation."
Pei Hening looked at the special rule and opened Chu Xuange's chat window.
[Dibi Dibi]: Your Highness, your legend is everywhere on the highway. Best of luck! [Image]
He hasn't replied yet; he's probably still playing the chase game.
Pei Hening ate her ice cream and followed the instructions on the display screen next to the charging station to charge her car.
As she walked further in, she found that there were quite a few players at the site, most of whom were in poor condition.
A dirty little boy saw Pei Hening and walked straight up to her.
"Hey, give me the ice cream, I want some."
Pei Hening thought she had misheard, until the little boy impatiently repeated, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf? I said give me the ice cream!"
Pei Hening walked around him and went inside; she couldn't be bothered with him.
The little boy stretched out his dark hand and tried to pull at her clothes.
Pei Hening deftly avoided his movement, a little annoyed: "I don't have a son as big as you."
It means she has no obligation to take care of him!
The little boy stared darkly at the ice cream in her hand, then lunged at it, cursing under his breath, "You bitch, give me the ice cream!"
"3. Players are prohibited from attacking each other inside the gas station."
She could only passively dodge, letting him miss, because retaliating would violate the rules.
"Want some? I'm not giving it to you!"
She finished her ice cream in three or four bites and looked at the little boy defiantly.
He realized he couldn't attack Pei Hening, and followed behind her with a gloomy expression, like a tail he couldn't shake off.
Pei Hening walked towards the rest area, where many players were resting.
She walked to the ice cream shop next to the rest area.
"Is there anything you would like, sir?"
She looked up and discovered that the shop assistant was actually a cactus with a large red flower blooming on its head.
Xianxian quickly opened the price list.
[Little Pudding Ice Cream 1 Copper Coin]
[Poppy Ice Cream 2 Copper Coins]
[Apple Ice Cream 1 Copper Coin]
[Chocolate Ice Cream 2 Copper Coins]
...
[Vanilla Ice Cream 2 Copper Coins]
[Strawberry-filled ice cream: 3 copper coins]
"I want a strawberry-filled ice cream."
The flower on Xianxian's head swayed shyly; she had finally made her debut!
She quickly got Pei Hening some ice cream.
After Pei Hening received the ice cream, it even had object recognition capabilities.
[Item: Strawberry-filled ice cream]
[Grade: Low]
[Origin: Dungeon - Desolate Snowfield]
[Item Description: This is a strawberry-filled ice cream from a remote snowy plain. It features a white chocolate shell and a high-quality strawberry filling. After consumption, it increases satiety by +50, replenishes hydration by +50, and keeps you cool for two hours.]
Her eyes lit up, she unwrapped the ice cream and took a bite. The rich milky aroma and the sweet strawberry flavor made her mouth water.
She looked at Xianxian with sparkling eyes: "Give me two more of each kind of ice cream."
Xianxian stammered, "Okay, guest!"
A major client, absolutely a major client!
She's definitely the top seller this month!
Xianxian packed up the ice cream and handed it to her, along with a sky-blue card printed with the ice cream: "This is our Highway Ice Cream Shop's VIP card. It offers 20% off all items and includes delivery service, but there's an extra delivery fee..."
Her voice trailed off as she spoke, as if she was getting embarrassed.
Pei Hening took the things Xianxian handed her: "Thank you."
"Mommy! I want ice cream too!"
