Chapter 16 Opening Resource Boxes on Behalf
Having brought back so many delicious dishes, Yu Qi naturally wouldn't treat herself badly. She served herself a bowl of white rice and then took out the signature pink crab lion's head meatballs from Black Cat Restaurant.
The shop owner gave her five signature dishes as a gift. She then used her work card and the shop owner's nephew's card to buy twenty more dishes from the kitchen, two servings of each dish. Now she has forty-five servings of food in her hands!
To her greatest surprise, four of the dishes could help detoxify!
The mung bean and lily soup could even detoxify those monsters. She clearly saw a fox that had been bitten by a snake come and buy a bowl of mung bean and lily soup, and it immediately returned to normal!
After enjoying the delicious lion's head rice, Yu Qi checked his personal data and found that his strength had indeed increased by three points! From 38 to 41 strength points.
With little time left, she drove on for a while longer and collected a wooden box and two bronze treasure chests.
[System: You have traveled 120 km. Do you wish to continue?]
Having completed the double mission, Yu Qi decided not to continue. She took this time to wander around the chat lobby and see if anyone was willing to let her open any boxes.
She has the "Unboxing Maniac" badge, which grants her an hour of critical hits each day, yet opening these boxes only takes about ten minutes!
All that time left has been wasted!
Why not open boxes for others? If some boxes can trigger a triple critical hit, wouldn't you make a fortune?
Even if it hits you with three packs of toilet paper, it's okay, a few mosquitoes are still meat!
Before that, she needs to check out the chat lobby and try to build up her favorability.
The chat room was indeed very lively today. After all, it was the last day of the newbie period, and many people were starting to feel anxious, afraid that they wouldn't survive until tomorrow.
The Moon Doesn't Sleep, I Don't Sleep: "Family members, I just discovered something terrifying. In our 2333 region, there are only 9568 people left. More than 300 people died during the newbie period!"
The bald girl's stubbornness: "I don't think I'll starve to death in three days. I think it's more likely that I'll be killed by the monsters in the box, since some monsters carry deadly poisons!"
He quickly admitted defeat: "You're right, some of the monsters in the boxes are really scary. I've stockpiled five or six in the last three days, but I haven't dared to open them! Luckily, I was eating bread before coming here and brought a whole bag of old bread with me, otherwise I would definitely starve to death!"
When the flowers bloom: "I can open loot boxes for you for free. Only by helping each other in this game can we go further! Unlike some selfish people who only care about themselves and don't even care about the lives of those three hundred compatriots!"
Dreaming of becoming a live-in son-in-law: "Why does the green tea upstairs smell so strong? Are you and Green Grass from the same family?"
The Little Match Girl: "Don't believe him! This morning he said he could open boxes for me for free, but when I delivered three resource boxes, he said they were all empty. There weren't even any monsters in the three boxes. I was so angry that I didn't even eat lunch!"
"Damn it, I just remembered! I asked this guy to open a box for me today, and he said it was empty too, so he didn't give me anything! I only found two boxes today, and he still pocketed one! Damn you, Flower Blooming Season, you better pray you don't run into me on the next parallel road!"
The boss said, "How about we discuss what to do tomorrow? According to Xinghe's previous predictions, the speed of these monsters in the beginner stage is limited. If the speed of these monsters returns to normal tomorrow, will we still be able to survive?"
The bald girl's stubbornness: "It's really a headache, especially on this night when we're trying to survive on the highway, there are lots of monsters around..."
Everyone fell silent. During the newbie protection period, their region had lost more than 300 people. Tomorrow would definitely be another disaster. Who knew if they themselves would be the ones to die?
Seeing this, Yu Qi started typing on the transparent keyboard above her watch. After considering it for a moment, she finally sent out the message she had edited.
Hunting Moment: "The nights after the beginner phase are indeed terrifying, but there are ways to overcome them."
"I'd like to share some information I have so far. Vehicles themselves have protective capabilities and can protect you on dangerous nights. The higher the vehicle's level, the stronger its protective capabilities. Everyone should try to upgrade their vehicle's level before tomorrow."
"This road survival game isn't just about roads; you might also encounter shops. You can use crystals to buy things in the shops, and some items can improve your three-dimensional attributes, enhancing your strength!"
"But be careful, you can't enter the shop without crystal coins, and there may be unknown dangers inside, because you're not the only customer here, there are many monsters from unknown places!"
"Also, starting today, I will be taking on the business of opening resource boxes on a long-term basis. Currently, there is a limit of thirty resource boxes per day. I will only charge one-fifth of the resources, and all the boxes and monsters that are opened will belong to me."
"Don't worry about me withholding your resources. I will use the highway system to create an agreement that will send you the list of resources from the treasure chests through the system as soon as possible, and then let the system automatically extract one-fifth of the resources."
"Those interested can contact me to open a workbench. Players who don't need it right now can also come to me. The price is negotiable."
Upon seeing these messages posted by the top hunter, a group of people discussing in the chat lobby were all stunned.
They had never even heard of the information the hunting boss revealed! So this is the difference between ordinary people and big shots?
And the big boss only takes one-fifth of the resources! As for those empty boxes and monster meat, who cares?
The monster meat extracted by the system was already scarce, and they didn't dare to eat it much anyway, so whether they could get it or not didn't matter!
Dreaming of becoming a live-in son-in-law: "What are you waiting for at this price? Boss, wait for me, I'm coming to unpack this for you right now!"
He quickly admitted defeat: "I'll go too, hoping to unlock the resources for vehicle upgrades, otherwise it'll be dangerous! Luckily, the hunting expert gave me an urgent warning!"
"As expected, it has to be the master hunter. He knows so much hidden information. After hearing what he said, I'm confident about the rest of the game! I'll upgrade my vehicle right away and try to survive!"
"I trust the boss. He shared such valuable information with us for free, how could he possibly withhold other people's supplies? The boss is not like someone like Huakai Shifen!"
When Flowers Bloom: "You believe everything Hunting Time says? None of us have heard of this. How could he possibly know such inside information? He's just spouting nonsense to get you to come to him to open resource chests!"
The Strongest in the Universe: "Yeah, Hunter mentioned that crystals can be used to buy items in the shop, but you can't enter without crystals. Isn't that a contradiction? Hunter, don't you feel embarrassed? You don't even think before you lie! And you even blocked me before. Is this the magnanimity of a big shot?"
Strawberry Cookie: "(Rolls eyes) Hunting Time has blocked me too. I had a message on my workbench and was planning to trade with him at a reasonable price, but this guy is asking for an exorbitant price and has such a lot of malice towards a cute girl like me!"
Lolita: "Hilarious! Isn't this just a strawberry cookie that claims to be a cute and adorable girl and then asks me to give you ten Energy Hearts for free? Everyone knows that behind these 'cute girls' are burly men~ And the 'reasonable price' you mentioned, you don't mean you're asking a big shot to give you resources for free, do you?"
Strawberry Cookie: "You're just jealous that I'm cuter and prettier than you!"
Lolita: "Just look at my profile picture, why would I be jealous of you? Send us a photo and let us see just how cute you really are!"
Strawberry Cookies: "..."
"You're targeting me! Waaaaaah..."
Lolita: "Does anyone really think that all girls cry like this?"
…
Upon seeing this, Yu Qi suddenly remembered that there was something she hadn't done.
She quickly went to her trading shop and promptly added the strawberry cookies to her rejection list.
Then return to the chat lobby.
Hunting Moment: "@When Flowers Bloom @Universe's Strongest, before you casually make fun of others, you'd better consider your own strength. First, pray you don't run into me on the parallel road!"
Hunting Moment: "@Strawberry Cookie, I've blocked you, and we'll never work together again."
Attached is a screenshot of a private message from Strawberry Cookies, who was making outrageous demands.
Despite a few buzzing flies, the overall response in the chat lobby was very positive. Most people expressed their gratitude and then rushed to exchange resources to upgrade their vehicles.
[System: Congratulations on triggering a reputation quest. You have currently gained 1399 reputation points. Would you like to accept the quest?]
[System Prompt: Reputation quests are divided into beginner (2,000 and 5,000 reputation points), intermediate (10,000 and 30,000 reputation points), and advanced (50,000 and 100,000 reputation points), corresponding to silver, gold, and purple-gold treasure chests respectively.]
"So, if I accumulate 2,000 and 5,000 reputation points, I can get a silver resource box twice, and the same goes for intermediate and advanced levels?"
Seeing these rewards, Yu Qi finally understood why Xinghe Rumeng always calmed everyone down at crucial moments and even offered some information.
So, did Xinghe also trigger the reputation quest?
"System, are the reputation point quests the same for everyone?"
System: "No comment."
Yu Qi: "..."
I still love the mischievous, cute, and stubborn system the most!
However, if you can get resources from these kinds of tasks, you might as well take them!
"System, accept!"
"The mission has been accepted for you."
The system's cold voice rang out, and soon a special mission for reputation points appeared in her personal center.
Reputation value: 1418/2000
This reputation value is constantly increasing, and it's estimated that new players will see the message she posted. It seems she'll soon receive the first silver chest as a reputation quest reward.
Yu Qi thought for a moment and then reposted the message she had shared before.
There are definitely people who are busy eating and unpacking, so they'll refresh the page again to let more people see it and reap more reputation points!
stable!
