Chapter 10: The Upright and Selfless System!
[Congratulations on triggering a triple critical hit! You have obtained: immobilization card x3, explosion card x3, arbitrary resource selection card x3, detoxification pill x3.]
immobilization card: Can be used on any monster or player, providing three seconds of immobilization time.
arbitrary resource selection card: Allows you to select any resource required for vehicleupgrades, granting ten units of the selected resource. (Limited to vehicle upgrades below Level 5)
The sound of the system notification rang out, and Yu Qi's eyes lit up. This time, she triggered a critical hit and received triple the cards!
The immobilization card can be used on both monsters and players and can be used to save one's life at a critical moment.
The arbitrary resource selection card goes without saying; using these three cards would immediately grant her thirty hearts of energy.
However, Yu Qi did not immediately choose to use them. This time, the vehicle upgrade required glass. What about the next upgrade? Would there be exceptionally rare and hard-to-obtain resources?
She put these cards into her Warehouse Slot, saving them for critical moments.
After opening all these items, the sky had completely darkened. Only the lights of the electric tricycle illuminated a small area.
Staring at the darkness outside and seeing one health bar after another light up, Yu Qi asked another question.
"System, after the three-day Novice Period is over, will these monsters rush at me all at once during the night?"
Yu Qi wasn't afraid of dealing with monsters; she was afraid of them swarming her. Moreover, she had been designated the greatest enemy by the Shadow Tiger Clan, so she had to be careful!
2333 system: "That's a secret, oh. You'll find out after the Novice Period is over. vehicles also have Protective Capability, oh, and the higher the level of the vehicle, the stronger its Protective Capability~"
Seeing the system's last hint, Yu Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She blinked at the System Panel in the chat lobby.
"Alright, System. Since it's a secret, I won't ask. I'm a Good Player, and you are an Upright and Selfless System."
In reality, the system had already given the answer. Perhaps if she upgraded her vehicle one or two more levels, she might get the full answer!
2333 system: "It's good that you know, you Silly Player. Hurry up and give this system a Five-Star Review!"
Yu Qi saw the Evaluation Card, silently tapped a five-star rating, and even added a bunch of flattering comments below.
[233 system: Congratulations on triggering a Hidden Reward! You have obtained one primary vehicle protection core~]
Vehicle Protection Core (Primary): Use after the Novice Period to protect the vehicle. It can be used for half an hour daily, withstand impacts from vehicles one level higher, and automatically triggers upon encountering a fatal crisis.
Yu Qi: "..."
What an Upright and Selfless System! She really wanted to hug and kiss this system; it was exactly what she needed!
Now Yu Qi genuinely suspected that her Younger Sister might have connections in this game. The leniency was too obvious—it was practically flooding!
With this protection core, the subsequent survival would clearly be safer. In a good mood, she opened her Watch Projection to check her Personal Information.
The system had automatically organized everything inside her Backpack and Electric Vehicle.
[Materials: Napkins x2, Toilet Paper x4, Butter Potato Fries x3, Spicy Hotpot Base x2, scallion oil chicken seasoning packet x3, Instant Coffeex5, Milk x3, Compressed Biscuits x4, Toast Bread x2, Tomato Noodle Soup x3, Spicy Saucex2, Purified Water (500ml) x8, Original Soy Milkx2, Self-heating Hot Pot x2, Mineral Water x2]
[Iron Blocks x51, plastic x54, glass x10, gasoline x2, tire x5, nylon rope x3, Stainless Steel Cutlery Set x1, universal battery x3, hemostatic bandage x3, detoxification pill x3, Small Medicine Box x1, Tattered Tent x1, Windproof Matches x1 box, lighter blueprint x1, Vehicle Reinforcement Steel Plate x1, universal metal x1]
[Props: immobilization card x3, explosion cardx4, Monster Gathering Card x1, arbitrary resource selection card x3, primary vehicle protection core x1, heart of energy x12, iron-cutting dagger x1, Multi-Function Military Knifex1, Aluminum Alloy Telescopic Snake Clampx1]
These items didn't seem few, but currently, she only had 51 units of Iron Blocks, 54 units of plastic, and 12 units of hearts of energy. She still needed two-thirds of the resources for the next upgrade.
But it didn't matter, she still had tomatoes and fifteen Wild Chickens with Slit Throats!
When she first raided the Wild Chicken Nest, she was afraid of listing ten Wild Chickens at once, fearing that the smart people in the lobby would notice. So, she intermittently listed these Fat Wild Chickens during breaks while driving.
Now that all ten Wild Chickens were sold, ten hearts of energy were quietly waiting to be extracted from the trading shop.
Yu Qi did not extract them immediately. She listed five more Wild Chickens. This time, she also casually listed one scallion oil chicken seasoning packet, the Compressed Biscuits she didn't like, and the five units of Instant Coffeeshe had opened today.
Since she had tomatoes that could eliminate some Fatigue Value, she no longer cared for Instant Coffee that required brewing.
It wasn't that Yu Qi disliked coffee; it was that she had drunk countless cups during her three years of Gaokao prep, and she always prepared coffee specifically to refresh herself before university exams—she was already sick of it.
Furthermore, she had several experiences where she stayed up late studying before exams, drank coffee on an empty stomach in the morning, and almost sent herself to the hospital.
If she had a Coffee Machine and Coffee Beans, she could enjoy a cup in her spare time, but for now, she'd pass.
Everything she didn't need temporarily was listed for sale, used to exchange for Basic Resources for vehicle upgrades.
Afterward, she skillfully entered the chat lobbyagain and began promoting her Goods.
Hunting Moment: "Selling Wild Chicken, snake meat, Instant Coffee, and Compressed Biscuits. Those interested, come to my shop to exchange them for Basic Resources and hearts of energy."
The moment she appeared, the players who were discussing among themselves immediately jumped out.
"Hunting Boss is finally here! Why haven't you listed tomatoes? I have my hearts of energy ready. Boss, hurry up and list them, I can't wait!"
"It seems I saw Boss list quite a few Wild Chickens today. Boss really has a soft spot for this kind of monster, but I have to say, this chicken stewed is truly delicious, and there are seasonings too? Boss, I'm coming right away!"
"Did Hunting Boss encounter one of those Monster Caves today? If it's Boss, maybe you could really venture in and let us Commonerssee what kind of resources are inside those caves."
"tomato, tomato! Boss, I only love tomatoes. Please list the tomatoes, I beg you! This Devout Woman is willing to be a vegetarian for life in exchange for a chance to buy tomatoes!"
"It's been another day of starving. Would Boss be willing to gift me ten or so tomatoes? I will surely remember Boss's kindness and repay it later!"
The group was lively, and the listed items were quickly bought out.
Yu Qi went to the game homestead to check. Fifteen tomato Plants had ripened, yielding 81 tomatoes.
Since the tomatoes were ripe, she naturally wanted to sell them, but Yu Qi didn't plan to sell so many openly today.
Otherwise, those people would definitely deduce that her "Skill" had improved again.
She still listed thirty tomatoes in the trading shop, keeping some for herself and trading some privately.
The tomatoes sold out in less than a second after being listed. This kind of crop that could eliminate some Fatigue Value was more popular than imagined.
Yu Qi was about to send trades to Bai Yi and the son-in-law who lives with the brides family as previously agreed, when a familiar name popped up in her backend private message.
Star River Enters Dream: "Hunting Boss, do you have any information about those dark caves on both sides of the Highway? I have a Special Seed, lantern fruit, which I can trade with you."
Seeing the Special Seed, lantern fruit, Yu Qistopped what she was doing.
The other party quickly sent a Screenshot of the lantern fruit.
primary lantern fruit seeds: The seeds produced by the primary lantern fruit can illuminate the darkness within a three-meter radius and have a slight Repellent Effect on monsters.
Star River Enters Dream: "Boss must have already noticed that night falls very quickly in this Survival World, right? In the darkness, our Headlights can only illuminate a small area and cannot penetrate the blackness at all."
"Moreover, this fruit has a certain Repellent Effect on monsters. After the Novice Protection Period, keeping the lantern fruit inside the vehicle can save your life!"
Hunting Moment: "What you're saying exaggerates the effect of the lantern fruit. It only has a slight Repellent Effect, which is useless against slightly stronger monsters. Furthermore, this Special Seed requires a special item, nutrient soil, and cannot be cultivated in a short time."
Star River Enters Dream: "Boss, Let's be Straightforward. Since you didn't immediately refuse, you definitely have relevant information. How about an additional five hearts of energy?"
Hunting Moment: "Deal!"
