Hearing Duoduo’s words, Lin Wanwan nodded in agreement.
It was impossible for Him to deceive her, nor was there any need to deceive her. Since He said a Level 1 compartment was granted, it was definitely granted.
Lin Wanwan first opened the remaining two light orbs inside the Level 1 treasure chest, obtaining a bottle of mineral water and a water cup.
The items were fairly ordinary—nothing special, but hardly disappointing either.
Watching the treasure chest slowly dissipate, the two sisters climbed into the van.
Once inside the vehicle, the two of them instantly noticed the difference.
The compartment that used to leak wind from every corner was now sealed tight and solid, without a single gap leaking through.
The cheap plastic on the central console had all been replaced with brand-new plastic materials.
The driver and passenger seats, which had their springs sticking out, were also replaced with imitation leather seats, and the other components were completely renewed.
What surprised Lin Wanwan the most was that a row of seats had actually been added to the very back of the van.
In other words, this upgrade refreshed and generated a third row of seats that originally did not exist.
With this row of seats, as long as it was flattened at night when sleeping, it would be a small bed. When the time came, her younger sister could sleep on the small bed while she slept in the hammock—perfect.
Lin Duoduo crawled straight into the back compartment, plopped her bottom onto it, and bounced a couple of times.
“Sister, I’ll sleep on this at night from now on, and you sleep in the hammock so you won’t have to work so hard.”
Lin Wanwan smiled, taking it as an agreement with her sister’s suggestion.
In her past life, Lin Wanwan had lived with her sister in an unmodified RV all the way until her death. Things were so drastically different from her past life now.
“Duoduo, try sensing it—was there any danger with that box you got this morning?”
Lin Wanwan was asking about the treasure chest she had snuck down to fetch by herself this morning.
“Sister, I didn’t feel any danger with this box. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to bring it up this morning.”
Hearing her sister ask her, Lin Duoduo spoke straight out without even having to think.
No danger? Then what was there to hesitate about?
Lin Wanwan reached out and directly opened the treasure chest placed inside the vehicle compartment.
This time, there were still three light orbs.
Lin Wanwan opened the three light orbs one by one. This time, she obtained a four-pack strip of Wahaha, two pieces of Dove chocolate, and 10 liters of gasoline.
The gasoline, naturally, was poured directly into the fuel tank. There were still over 20 liters of gasoline in the tank, and adding this brought it to over 30 liters—temporarily enough for her use today.
Having finished busywork with all of this, Lin Wanwan looked at Lin Duoduo.
“Duoduo, I’m going to get out through the middle door on the right side now. I’ll go cut some grass so sleeping on it in the car at night will be more comfortable. Then we can figure out if we can weave some utensils to use.”
“Utensils? Can we weave those things?”
Lin Duoduo held an attitude of doubt toward her sister’s words.
She had seen elderly people weaving baskets and hampers in short videos.
In the videos, the old grandpas and grandmas had their hands flying up and down, weaving one in just a short while.
Lin Duoduo wasn’t stupid—those things looked easy, but when it came to doing it oneself, it would likely be very difficult. She didn’t have much confidence.
Seeing her sister start backing down before even trying, Lin Wanwan’s heart was filled with helplessness.
Her skill at painting rosy pictures was truly no good—even her sister didn’t fall for it.
“Even if we can’t weave those things, when we light the stove later, wouldn’t using it as tinder work just as well?”
Hearing her sister talk about lighting the stove, Lin Duoduo nodded.
After casually giving Lin Duoduo a few more instructions, Lin Wanwan stepped out from the middle door on the right and went into the adjacent field of cogon grass to start cutting grass.
Last time in the work survival world, she had pulled the cogon grass using her bare hands.
Back then, her hands were strangled red, nearly bleeding.
She first felt the cogon grass; it was all very dry, suitable for whatever purpose.
Lin Wanwan went up and began chopping frantically, as if venting her hatred from her past life.
It had to be said that having tools and not having tools were completely different concepts.
Short blade in hand, the cogon grass was hers. After a frenzy of chopping, Lin Wanwan felled a huge patch of cogon grass.
She set the short blade back on the car and then began bundling the cogon grass.
She first rubbed a few stalks of cogon grass back and forth, and then, using the simplest method, knotted the cogon grass into a grass rope.
With the grass rope, the rest of the matter became simple: gather the grass into a pile and tie it up with the grass rope.
Sensing that there was no danger, Lin Duoduo gained her permission and also got out of the car to help carry the cogon grass.
In just a short while, they made more than a dozen grass bundles.
Now that they had the grass bundles, how to carry them away became another issue.
Working together as one, the two sisters first dragged the dozen-plus grass bundles over to the side of the van.
Lin Wanwan measured the taller-than-a-person cogon grass against the car compartment and found that at most two grass bundles could be placed inside without affecting the two sisters’ freedom of movement.
More could fit, but if the back compartment was packed full, they wouldn’t be able to do anything else.
Pondering for a moment, Lin Wanwan realized she seemed to have forgotten she still had a car roof. Stepping onto the footboard, she looked up at the van’s roof.
There was actually a big luggage rack on top.
She didn’t seem to have seen this yesterday?
Did it appear only because of the Level 1 compartment upgrade this time?
Lin Wanwan thought wildly for a moment, finding no clue.
Her greatest virtue was that if she couldn’t figure something out, she wouldn’t think about it.
She twisted two longer grass ropes and then called Lin Duoduo over.
“Duoduo, can you climb up for a moment?”
Lin Wanwan pointed toward the roof of the car.
“Climb up? Climb up to do what?”
Seeing her sister pointing at the roof, Lin Duoduo was a bit confused.
“We gathered quite a bit of grass this time, and I’m reluctant to leave it behind. There’s a luggage rack on the roof; climb up and arrange the grass properly, then we’ll tie it onto it with grass ropes.”
Hearing her sister say they were going to take the cogon grass along, Lin Duoduo nodded.
“Sister, I have no problem climbing up, but how do I get up there? There’s no ladder here.”
Hearing her sister’s question, Lin Wanwan scratched her head. She walked around the van once, finding no place to climb.
After thinking for a bit, Lin Wanwan spoke up again.
“Duoduo, climb up by stepping on my shoulders.”
“Huh?”
Hearing Lin Wanwan say this, Lin Duoduo felt reluctant.
However, thinking that they couldn’t give up what they had gathered, she gritted her teeth.
“Alright, Sister, let’s work quickly and leave quickly once we’re done.”
“Mm.”
Lin Wanwan stood by the right door, gripping the door handle with both hands.
“Sister, climb up, and be extra careful, okay?”
Lin Duoduo nodded.
She first hugged two grass bundles, laid them beside Lin Wanwan, and then stepped on the grass bundles to climb onto Lin Wanwan’s body.
Exerting force with both hands, she reached the edge of the luggage rack above.
Lin Wanwan quickly used both hands to support Duoduo’s shoes, pushing her up.
After taking a brief rest, the two sisters began working.
Lin Wanwan lifted the grass bundles to the roof from below, while Lin Duoduo arranged them neatly back and forth.
Fortunately, the grass bundles were dry and not very heavy—a bundle was only around ten-plus jin, which Lin Duoduo could still carry.
In just a short while, except for two grass bundles left behind to be put inside the car compartment, all the rest were placed onto the roof rack by the two sisters.
